Minister of Finance Chris Sinckler
Minister of Finance Chris Sinckler

Minster Chris Sinckler in October 2013 informed parliament during a no confidence motion brought against him that his life had been threatened – see Barbados Today report. BU is surprised there has been little public reaction to this startling revelation.  A threat to kill anyone is a serious matter and if it involves a minister of the crown more so.  Anyone observing Minister Sinckler since the announcement has hardly observed trepidation on his part as he moves around Barbados.

If BU had the authority to commission an investigation into this matter we would consider it money well spent. For a second time in 24 hours  when opining about the action of a leading political figure we hesitate to call Sinckler a liar. Sinckler, the government and the police owe it to Barbadians to bring closure to this matter. Barbadians do not threaten our politicians. We do not even throw eggs or tomatoes in their direction when they upset us. There was that one time we marched for naught.

    David Thompson 2008 budget:
    “Under normal circumstances, we should be and indeed there would be justification for our increasing bus fares, even to school children. However, we have agreed that even more critical than the financial impact is the social impact of a disorderly school bus system that exposes our children to vices best avoided. Effective the start of the next school year in September 2008 school children in uniform or with student identification cards will be permitted to travel free on Transport Board buses. Thus a school trip
    that may once have cost 2 dollars because it involved taking two different buses to get to school will now be free. Parents will also have to worry less about the cost of sending their children to school. This facility will provide a $400.00 per year
    minimum benefit for a child who has to take only one bus to school and $750.00 per year minimum for a child who has to take two buses to get to school. I want to make it clear how this government feels: If there is no improvement in the compliance by PSV’s with the law and traffic regulations during the intervening period, at the point of
    introducing the new service, we will ban school children from travelling on PSV’s by law.”
    Can someone please tell me, was Chris Sinckler being overly theatrical and hence again lied to Barbadians when he indicated that school children were being ‘ferried’ in and out of Barbados for the purposes of prostitution?

    I nearly ran off the road when I heard that liar saying that school children were being lifted out of Barbados for prostitution was the reason for the free bus fares. And taking them off the minibuses would stop this? According to David, this man is a liar!

    Sinkliar stupidly revealed why the marijuana business will remain illegal in Bim (at least for the time being).
    Decriminalization would more than likely take the very large profits and risks premiums out of the trade resulting in a significant drop in the selling price of the weed that grows without too much production effort. This would only result in less money available to bribe officials and finance contributions to the electoral coffers of the pols.

    Imagine you have a case of the AG expressing concern that the people about to be laid off might find themselves under the influence and control of the drug barons in Bim.
    How the hell does he know about drug barons and why isn’t he doing something about it instead of going after ‘small-fry’ drug users or cultivators of the weed to make it look as if the country is winning the war on marijuana?

    Don’t give up you right to be WRONG brother, because then you will lose the ability to learn new things and move forward life. And as Abraham Maslow once said:” If the only TOOL you have is a HAMMER, you tend to see every problem as a NAIL.” Tunnel vision and narrow – mindedness permeates the very essence of this Blog, Simple Simon.

    I sat and imagined paying $2 for a zr ride to St. Lucia as the MOF eloquently elaborated on the reason for free bus fare, then like the African pastor who thought he could walk on water, I realized that minivans don’t float. Oh well, at least he is consistent. After all, lying does require you to have a good memory. Oh shoot, I now realize he ain’t even good at lying either. Sigh.

    These are different times than those your mother lived in. Politicians cant lie to people in 2013 and expect them to forget and ignore it like they did in times long past. This is not to say that threats againsta the life of an individual should not be taken seriously, but it is to say that you indirectly threatened their lives and livelihoods by lying to them. Now you will have to accept the more direct reaction they are providing you with.
    Your fault!

    This Minister of Finance is an abject and total FAILURE. The PM is also looking like a FAILURE by continuing to repose confidence in a FAILED Minister of Finance.

    And to think Thompson’s parting gift to Barbadians before going to fiddlers green was to hang this idiot Sinckler around our necks.

    Coming up with a new plan after eliminating all the rest is not the difficult part, even a blind squirrel will eventually find an acorn. The problem is going to be the same as in the past five years; IMPLEMENTATION. The private sector trust is long-gone and wallets firmly shut tight. Sandals took over Casaurina after the unfathomable (to Butch) experience of dealing with our TCPO BS at Paradise which was consequently abandoned, if that didn’t send off alarm bells then and now I don’t know what would. It is just too difficult to get anything done in this country, especially with the rest of the Caribbean welcoming development with open arms and cooperative civil servants.

    I voted for these people! I mean I actually voted for these people. What the f….k was I thinking. You talk for two hours and all that you can tell the whole of Barbados in and out is nothing. Where the ass is that silent clown we got for a prime minister. I mean I completely dislike the bandits in the BLP but Geez on Bread…what brand of nitwits do we have in control of the government. And Sinckler of all the excuses you could find for free bus fares was that school children were being airlifted for prostitution. Please provide the proof because that is the most stupid ass excuse or a lie I have ever heard. Ok I will be gullible. So u are saying that the free bus fares and rides on the transport board buses was stopping the free movement of school children from being airlifted from engaging in prostitution. Since the free bus fares has this stop them. What type of ‘Kubba’ could you be.

    The carrots from Cda are cleaner and sweeter don’t taste like kerosene oil and much prettier in the salad as the colour is bright orange and not pale orange.

    Being accustomed to the local carrots I prefer them because I like the freshness of our soil. We are catering to the taste of our society and not to our aged community.

    This financial and fiscal crisis was always beyond the very limited talents of Chris Sinckler. In fact Sinckler ably supported by the Cabinet and GOCB helped to make the crisis worst by playing politics instead of practicing prudent financial and economic management.

    So ok, wunna get re-elected, now what? How is growth going to occur when the sponsor of these magical projects, the GOB, is brek?

    For the past week the PM has been personally going door-to-door in the private sector seeking input on ‘projects for which decisions and action are outstanding in the civil service’. It is ironic that most of them are in his office. Flock of morons that couldn’t collectively run a rumshop, far less a country.

    Adriel Braithwaite should be more concerned about the laid off employees falling under the influence of the PORN trade, his buddy and compadre PORNVILLE.

    Does Sinckler not know that children being prostituted in/out of Barbados is tantamount to HUMAN TRAFFICKING, therefore he should have had an investigation initiated instead of only now telling the population about these events of which he seems to have vast knowledge…..just like Brathwaite and Stuart knew/saw the vote buying during elections and did not start an investigation or report it to the police…..how much more incompetent are these asses willing to show the world they are i wonder..

    So you’re saying that the government is totally as fault for the current state of affair in Barbados? And that the private – sector is suffering because of the ill – conceived policies of the current administration? Now, shouldn’t the private – sector bear some kind of responsibility for this economic – cesspool we now find ourselves in as well ? A conscientious private -sector would have foresaw such a happenstance. One would have thought.

    That last part was PRICELESS BITJ!

    THOMPY apparently left us with a form of REVERSE poetic justice! Call it PAYBACK for all those years in the wilderness – without the kinda’ support that would have given him the REINS OF POWER long ago, allowing him to make his HISTORICAL MARK but instead the CRUEL HAND OF FATE dealt him prostate cancer in the PRIME of his life, robbing him of the GLORY that had eschewed others but that he was certain was his to carve out as a LIVING LEGACY.

    WHAT A TRAGEDY!

    Now THOMPY’s Party is in the doldrums of the Bermuda Triangle where TITANIC vessels disappear into the abyss of ATLANTIS without leaving a trace!

    LOL!

    My wife voted DLP (Feb. 2013) because that she felt loyalty based on her past LOVE for “THE DIPPER”! But clearly, this current SHIP of marauding mariners epitomizes the “SOULS” of the dead men on the ship in the tale of the “RHYME OF THE ANCIENT MARINER” where as BITJ wonderfully opines that now the GREAT NATION OF BARBADOS has an “ALBATROSS” around its neck and as the ship sails into the mist of the ether – it looks like we are DOOMED” to fall off the edge of the world!

    ROTFLMBO!

    I spoiled my VOTE in February because standing in Foundation School Hall I was appalled at the baseless choices I was confronted with given the slate of candidates and the “NOVICES” that I realize would be running this great country – and given that I hadn’t voted in over 20 years because of foreign domicility – it was a no-brainer to just write some CRAP on the BALLOT and put it in the box and exit my old school.

    As usual, I was proven RIGHT AGAIN (not that I didn’t say so or would have told you so – as some outcomes are just OBVIOUS) LOL but folks were caught up in the moment and as we all know – TRIBAL BLACK POLITICS is not only as spectator sport but it is DAMN injurious to one’s HEALTH if not careful – CHECK THE AMOUNT OF DEAD PRESIDENTS (oh sorry Prime Ministers) LOL who have all gone belly up in office! The question is – WHO’S NEXT?

    Mark, in 2008 I asked two ministers how they intended to deal with the civil service issue of lack of private sector and foreign investor facilitation since Owen Arthur seemed to be the only person capable of directing (or threatening) them toward any tangible result. I was told ‘Thompson says hands off the civil service, we will not micro-manage this gov’t’. My response was: ‘you have a big surprise coming my friend, Bajan culture is all about micro-managing and history has proven there is no other way to get the job done’.

    My prediction has come to pass. The civil service is the unsolvable problem; the current gov’t’s inability to get a grasp of the civil service is what has us in this mess. You can blame who you like for that fact but it seems ridiculous to me to fire the gardener when the company goes bust; all management responsibility begins and ends at the top. There is not a single cabinet member who can offer private sector investors and developers assurances of action and facilitation who is able to get results within his own ministry. That is how untenable the current situation is, what you are seeing on the street is the manifestation of that fact.

    Yes we are NUTS! We have had our cerebral cortex white-washed with DISINFO and self-deprecating propaganda that says that our foreparents endured SLAVERY but we are an educated MASS of enlightened souls, so we don’t need to endure boiling hot sun to eek out a living!

    But then HAL – most of us accept that based on the form of thinking and indoctrination that says we believe that if it comes from ABROAD, its gotta’ be better, right?

    WRONG!

    When the SOUL of a people have been systematically rubbed away by years of SELF_HATE, loathing our heritage and yet thinking we are better than everyone else have resulted in the phenomenon you now see!

    So the GUYANESE are coming in to show us how it should be done. They RENT a plot of land and plant a CROP of MELONS where in a couple of months they can reap the crop and pocket a cool $30K+! And they make sure that the $$$$$ is changed into FX and sent home to their bank accounts and to their families!

    Hal you know the MAXIM (you live in the Queens country) – WHERE THERE IS NO VISION, PEOPLE PERISH! C’mon man!

    Some of us who live in cold climes, appreciate GOOD QUALITY “organically” GROWN kitchen garden food! That’s why we have Council Allotments or for those who are blessed to have a 100ft back yard can plant in the SPRING and reap throughout the summer – FREEZING & BOTTLING our own produce as well as giving away to family, friends & foes! LOL!

    No wonder we make sure and use that spare GUEST bedroom to plant some CANNABIS* in pots for MEDICINAL USE and SELF-MEDICATION as we value growing our own FOOD as well as our own MEDICINE!
