@ Due Dilgence
With qualified Canadian tradesmen from across the country flooding into oil sands territory for the high paying trades jobs, the only jobs the Barbadians will be getting are jobs making sandwiches at Subway.
………………………………………………………..
The same could be said about the tens of thousands of Barbadians and other West Indians who flocked en masse to the Mother Country, beginning at the end of World War 2 ,where there was a shortage of manpower,as many of those lucky servicemen an women returning from the battlefields were given the opportunity to upgrade their skills via a nationwide training programme. Men and women , who before the war had held low level jobs such as bus driving,nursing and waiting in restaurants were now equipped to take higher posts in the Civil Service , teaching etc. This new upwardly mobile status created a shortage of workers in the low level job sector ,and as a result the doors in the Mother country were flung wide open to allow those from the Colonies to come in and fill those bottom line jobs, in London Transport Executive, the National Health Service and Lyons Tea Shop.
These people were able to send remittances to their families back here in Barbados, helping to raise their standard of living ,and as time went by, many reached the age of retirement , and decided to come back home. At one time, the contributions to the islands economy made by these people, who we like to refer to as Returning Nationals, via home construction and other endeavours, were higher than what the island was making out of its sugar production.
On day these potential Subway employees ,may be able to put some money into the islands cap. So do not knock them or the jobs. -
Barrow was NOT a Barbados Scholar!
True, but how did he fall short in intelligence, self-confidence, vision, and leadership …?
There are some others who are not scholars but who clearly should be…
…just as we can identify some “scholars” who could not lead a sheep to grass or run a snow cone cart successfully…..Actually Bushie liked Wynter Crawforf as a candidate to have been a history changing prime minister….but this is just speculation….and he was no Barbados scholar either….

THERE WAS A TIME WHEN BEING AN ISLAND SCHOLAR MEANT SOMETHING
SOME OF OUR BEST LEADERS THROUGH THE YEARS HAVE BEEN ISLAND SCHOLARSGO INTO THE HALL AT HC AND LOOK AT THE BOARDS AT THE BACK WITH THE NAMES OF MEN WHO HAVE SERVED OUR COUNTRY WITH DISTINCTION.
TODAY YOU BRING DUMMIES TO LEAD PEOPLE
AND YOU EXPECT THEM TO LEAD SCHOLARS AND BRIGHT FELLAS WHO ARE CEREBRATING WAY AHEAD OF THESE MORONS.
ITS LIKE A PORSHE IN A RACE WITH A JACKASSBTW YOU SEE IT HERE ON BU DAILY . AH LIE? AH JUST ASKING.
DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA HOW IT FEELS TO BE IN MEETINGS WITH MORONIC LEADERS PICKING NITS, AND MAJORING ON MINORS? NO YOU DONT, IM SURE
SANDI’S FAILURE WAS NOT HIS BRILLIANCE. HE HAD OTHER PROBLEMS HE HAD THE GUTS TO DEAL WITH CERTAIN ISSUES. NOT LIKE THE CURRENT DUMMIES WE HAVE TODAY
SADLY MR JUST ASKING, YOU COULD NEVER ATTAIN TO SUCH HEIGHTS.. TRUST ME I UNDERSTAND HOW YOU FEEL

GEORGETOWN, Guyana, Tuesday January 21, 2014, CMC – Guyana and Haiti are expected to lead the economic growth among countries in Latin America and the Caribbean, according to the United Nations’ annual World Economic Situation and Prospects (WESP) report 2014 released here.
It said that both Caribbean Community (CARICOM) countries are projecting to have economic growth of 4.5 per cent this year, followed by other CARICOM member states Trinidad and Tobago 2.5 per cent, Jamaica 1.2 per cent and Barbados one per cent.
Last year Guyana had economic growth of 4.6 per cent while Haiti’s growth was estimated at 3.5 per cent.
“Overall in the Caribbean region, growth is projected at 3.3 per cent for this year. Last year, growth for the Caribbean region was estimated at 2.4 per cent in 2013, slightly slower than in the last two years.”
The report notes that Latin America and the Caribbean are expected to hasten their growth to 3.6 per cent and 4.1 per cent respectively in the next couple of years, up from 2.6 per cent in 2013.
The WESP report attributes the positive growth in 2014-2015 to sound macroeconomic policies, resilient domestic demand and the gradual recovery in developed economies.
However, it warns that economic growth remains subject to growth in other economies, mainly the Euro area, the United States and China, which is now growing at a slower pace than in previous years.
In 2013, although the region experienced growth, economic expansion was uneven.
South America led with 3.2 per cent growth in gross domestic product (GDP) in 2013, up from 2.5 per cent in 2012, due to a rebound in Argentina and Brazil.
By contrast, in Mexico and Central America, economic activity is estimated to have slowed down to 1.5 per cent in 2013 from 4.0 per cent in 2012, in part because the Mexican economy has faced structural constraints and GDP growth decelerated significantly to only 1.2 per cent.
WESP is produced at the beginning of each year by the UN Department of Economic and Social Affairs (UN/DESA), the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD) and the five United Nations regional commissions.
A report by the Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean (ECLAC) last December puts Guyana’s economic growth close to WESP’s projections of 4.6 per cent in 2014

@ JUST ASKING
U are so dumb ,and you prove it every time you post -
BU finds it amazing that in austere times many still do not demonstrate the capacity to be conciliatory in our exchanges. Frankly to read some of the comments have become boorish.
The consensus is that our political system must be reformed to force people participation. The current system where for a few minutes 60% of the electorate vote is not efficient.If we are intelligent we need to be able to construct a new system instead of the one now where the DLP and BLP take turns a the trough. More importantly we have a prime minister who because of a 2 seat margin cannot fire or make any major change to Cabinet. As a result decisions are made in the political interest and NOT national interest.

David there probably is a need to change the political system.
However Barbadians need to be more entrepreneurial and productive at every level.
Government needs to focus on good governance and providing essential services.
The education system needs to be improved especially at the ptimary school level if you want to provide a solid foundation for the Nation’s children.
We need business leaders who in these tough times will take risks.
Barbadians need to tighten their belts and stop wasting their money on things they don’t need.
They can still enjoy the great food and fete but big screen tvs and $1000 cell phones are not necessities.Conspicuous consumption in the current economy is destructive.
-
Hants the need to be entrepreneurial is ideal and required but people do not become this way by saying so. It is a behaviour which has to nurtured. It will take a long time to transform from the ”çollin” tie mindset and the status whch Barbadians have associated with it.
-
We wonder why you continue – in some senses – to promote many of the interests of the DLP and the BLP on your blog, David?
These two disorganizations are absolute disgraces to much of what the founders of them stood for.
For example, can you imagine on Errol Barrow Day, watching clips on CBC TV 8, about the life and times of the late great Errol Barbados, and then watching – on the same lone TV station in Barbados -brainless jack o lanterns like the Minister of Commerce, Donville Inniss, and the Minister of Finance, Chris Sinckler, speak so school boyishly puerilely to their respective gatherings?
What is pellucidly obvious from their own verbal representations there and then and from many others telecast previously, is that, they have never ever read as widely as Mr Barrow did, never ever could debate in the House of Assembly like he did, and never could have the intellectual prowess that the Father of Independence achieved.
Therefore, it cannot reasonably be expected that those two DLP persons and all those other DLP and BLP people in the parliament of Barbados would altogether have a vision for the further development of this country, like Barrow clearly had, with the many stark intellectual deficiencies that they present?
So why continue to promote such crass intellectual poor rakiness and such intellectual vagrancy that tremendously clearly define the now politically leperous DLP and BLP?
Do you think if you project the blog away from reflecting those kinds of appalling putrid partisan political characteristics and qualities, you would lose many DLP BLP contributors to the blog?
And who would care anyhow if such were to result?
David, the laudable thing is to make sure that monthly the blog ascends – not descends – politically intellectually, etc, so that the average person in Barbados, esp at this time of increasing political tumult, will be able to clearly recognize it as a political intellectual forum to be reckoned with in the country, in so far as it would be being seen by them as currently helping to revolutionize -and for the better and brighter in the long term – the face of the social, political, material and financial realms of this country.
So, as far as the PDC is concerned, by your continuing to allow the Blog to be too much an extension of the unnecessary tribalism cannibalism of these two disgraceful disorganizations, you would merely persist in the undermining of that type of revolutionary potential of this blog, though we are not so sure that you would have conceived of it as having that type of potential, given your accustomed reactionary conversatisms to many progressive ideas and solutions on here.

@ Georgie Porgie
I have been noticing for some time that you have a particular obsession with Barbados scholars and the importance of winning the Barbados scholarship. Your particular brand of intellectual foolishness would suggest that hundreds of thousands of Barbadians who HAVE NOT WON Barbados scholarships over time have been virtually useless . It might be useful to remind you that two of the persons whom your writing seems to support , MR ARTHUR and MISS MOTTLEY ARE NOT BARBADOS SCHOLARS EITHER ; nobody can question Mr Arthur’s contribution to the development of this country. I believe that you yourself won a Barbados scholarship ; now may i ask you , what has been your contribution to the development of Barbados when it is placed against the vast majority of those (us) who did not even come close to winning a Barbados scholarship? I do not know who you are but I can say from observation that your language does not betray any level of the brilliance which you think is the preserve of Barbados scholars . You certainly cannot write better English than i can ….. -
I dont know why Georgie Porgie should attack me
I know why limitone would attack me -It is because I believe I call what limitone wrote crap sometime earlier.While there was no response then, limitone now sneaks this attack on me .
I do not attack persons and call them by names.
I usually attack their arguments.
I would warn you limitone whoever you are, posting under a different name, DO NOT ATTACK JUST ASKING.
I am not easy–
Ask ac what I did to him/her ass on this blog.
Cuss she/he back upin the mudda for attacking melimitone and Georgie
I will ignore you for nowI hope that you all can stick to attacking the argument and not the person. Barbados needs help and we should help and stop all the talk anyway. Its not getting us anywhere.
Everybody has a role to play and it does not matter who you are and where you came from. Every individual has sense and intelligence. It takes persons of varying abilities and skills to make the world go around. This is something that we need to embrace and stop discriminating against people based on folly. We are all made in the image of God and each of us has a role to play. If we cant appreciate that reality, we will forever be categorizing, stigmatizing and victimizing people unnecessarily.
We need masons and carpenters, doctors, garbage collectors, mechanics, physicists, plumbers, electricians, Truck Drivers, the lot. We should seek to help each other. My skill is not your skill and some persons are born with innate abilities , Why should we discriminate ?

The DLP will unrepentantly celebrate the birthday every single year of Errol Walton Barrow (EWB) that doyen of Caribbean and Barbadian statesman. It is indeed heart warming to note that PM Freundel Jerome Stuart has already begun to blaze a trail in Caricom and Barbados similar to what EWB did during his lifetime.
Barbadians are indeed thrilled to note that OSA even confirmed a few days ago…..that he has no confidence in MAM….and by extension no confidence in himself since it was OSA who foisted MAM on Barbadians.
Oh what a tangled web they weaved !

@ Fractured BLP | January 22, 2014 at 9:36 AM |
“It is indeed heart warming to note that PM Freundel Jerome Stuart has already begun to blaze a trail in Caricom and Barbados similar to what EWB did during his lifetime.”Oh what a bellyful of hearty laughs you have given the BU family today!
A laugh a day keeps the ‘Sparmans’ of this world away. You can bet that the bloggers who read you comical piece of stupidity would be alive 100 years from now.
Why don’t you ask the leaders and ordinary people of those other Caricom states what they really think of the Fumbler and his administration. You can start with Kamla and Ms Myrie.It’s a pity your highly influential trail blazer is incapable of attracting the confidence of the Trinidadians to offer his administration a little bail-out loan like an early hand in a regional sou-sou or meeting turn instead of going (a) begging to the international loan sharks bleeding in the water with junk bond status label around his neck for a life saver.

TRUE DAT! ,,,Fractured BLP…….But the BLP still living in Wonderland..imagine the nerve of the Leader asking the people of barbados to form a mass protest does she not understand the implications OSA attack on her was intentional but she seems to be proving HIM right….doesnt she realise the potential internal and external harm of such amaddening suggestion can she repair the damage after it is done..Can barbados afford this kind of Helter Skelter Leadership i don,t think so.

Soon after placing our earlier post under this thread it cannot be believed that exactly what we said in the last part of the said PDC post, we were made to see evidence of in terms of David’s response (January 22, 2014, 4.39 am) to Hants’ comment that Barbadians need to be more entrepreneurial and productive at every level (January 22, 2014, 2.24 am blog).
But David the need to be entrepreneurial is not just idealistic and required in the reactionary way you suggested and intoned.
Also it is not entirely correct to disassociate entrepreneurial from the “collar and tie” mentality.
David, consider these four things:
1) There are many entrepreneurs who wear collars and ties;
2) The practicality and reality has already over the years become and is still one that, in Barbados, there are thousands upon thousands of different entrepreneurs thinking and doing multifarious things in this country;
3) All workers perform many commercial functions – they carry out various commercial activities, and they get payments or transfers. Therefore in relationship to who they are sometimes, how they think sometimes, and what they do sometimes, in the commercial business environment, they are – to small degrees -entrepreneurial already, though not entrepreneurs;
4) Thousands upon thousands of workers who might otherwise have been entrepreneurs are prevented from becoming so, owing to, et al, many very anti-entrepreneurial policies and regimes that are found to have been part of the ammunition of government and some people of the private sector and the trade unions to directly or indirectly thwart or prevent far far reater levels of entrepreneurialism from proactively coming about in Barbados.

Miller
Those of us who follwed BU for a very long time have noticed that your greatest handicap of contibuting anything worthwhile on Barbadian politics is the fact that the two persons you constantly promote as viable alternatives in the perons of OSA and MAM…. are nothing more than political relics of a BLP era that was characterised by stealth and subtefuge.
Therefore, even now that OSA and MAM
find themselves in the political wilderness it is not surprising that all rational citizens of Barbados stand watch as these same two persons fight like vultures over an ever decaying carcass once called the BLP.No doubt a cadaver consumer like yourself faced with this reality….. would
always try to pull down and associate PM Freundel Stuart and his DLP team with the rot that now defines and characterise the BLP.It is not working and won’t work. You need to go and re invent yourself like the old douche bag ‘ Old Onion Bag ‘ did soon after the humilation he endured after 21 st February 2014.

Sometimes one has to wonder at your comprehension skills. The reference to collin tie is to highlight a mindset which Barbadians have of being satisfied working for others rather than being entrepreneurial.

“No doubt a cadaver consumer like yourself faced with this reality….. would always try to pull down and associate PM Freundel Stuart and his DLP team with the rot that now defines and characterise the BLP.”Fractured and bent with hurt BLP, the miller can only respond with the incontrovertible assertion that he is neither a pal of Leroy Greenverbs or is he controlled by a leper whose money the greedy banks will not touch with a 9 million dollar barge pole worth of shit.
The Fumbler has carved his own mirror image of lies and insincere integrity that history will not be kind to. In other words, he will always be known as the idiot who twiddled his thumbs at the helm while Bim burned on the deck of the sinking ship called Devaluation.
He will be known as the worst PM Bim had or ever will have and always be daubed and dubbed as the potential Caligula of Little England as the spectre of cracking Bajan heads and shooting young people continues to raise its ugly head in the form of a stuttering laundry man.
Why don’t you go and look for OSA at John Moore’s bar or MAM in some all-women’s hideaway or speakeasy and leave the miller out of your puerile discussions as Barbados propels toward a state of economic meltdown?
PS: Tell your boy the Fumbler he has made a commitment to the nation to meet a deadline of January 31st. Or is this another pipe dream of the sleeping giant on Molasses Hill?

Hi Watchman before you continue to worsen the ulcers in your stomach take time to pause and reflect on the following:
The DLP forms the government of Barbados
The PM of Barbados is a member of the DLP
BU enjoys most of it contributions from DLP supporters
The blog master of BU a.k.a David is an unrepentant supporter of the DLP (it is only because he has to keep BU relevant that he pretends to be different most times ! )Therefore the DLP is the party of choice today….that’s why from the school children on the free bus rides , the citizens that benefit from Constituency Councils and childrens camps and DT football classic the slogan is …..Dems now ….Dems Again !
Even OSA agrees by pulling the rug from under MAM.
You can either join the DLP train or be left stranded at the station….till MAM comes and LICK yuh down !

Harry S Truman was the President of the United States of America, di he go to college? And John Major was Prime Minister of Great Britain, did he go to Oxford? The rampant elitism, that some of these assholes carrying on with in Barbados, needs to stop. Everyone is not a good test taker, and may not have been able to score high enough on that 11+ examination. A person’s contribution, can very well come from all facets of our exisitence, from janitorial work, to house keeping. Many an uneducated laborer, worked hard to put some of these pompass assholes through Harrison College, Queens College and universities around the world. I learn so much, by coming to this blog and having my opinion weighed, and disected. Mr Barrow and Mr. adams before him, were instrumental in getting bajan children good educations. Mr. Sandiford, in my opinion was the best Minister of Education, Barbados ever had. My question to anyone here on this blog, how many Barbadian Scholars, turned out to be abject failures in life? There were a few, that walked around Barbados, living in rum shops, and not making good on their fine Harrisonian educations, so please, lets not suggest that most of us here are failures, because we went to other schools in Barbados.
-
Wuh Victor, you are the only one suggesting that.
The argument is that we should seek to have our most intelligent resources in leadership positions because of the CRITICAL roles that leaders are required to play in national successIf you had a family business – which of your children would you groom to take over from you? The womanizer? The sportsman? The musician? Or the academic thinker and ideas person?
That does not define the others as failures, nor does it say that all the academics would be successful, but odds are that you BEST chances of success will come from the most suitable child….
…the BRIGHT one….Wuh if you was Freundel’s father – would you put him in charge of your rumshop?
-
David,
It is not so simple as you may think.
The ‘collar and tie’ mentality ( for us mentalities ) of which you wrote about above cannot be so neatly prepackaged into some projection that it is about persons who are working for others, as opposed to being about persons who are entrepreneurial.
First, this ‘collar and tie’ thing fundamentally relates to the outlooks (ideas) of many persons who possess images of some MEN ( interestingly enough not WOMEN – we wonder if this has sexist connotations having to do with the tie having an historically phallic association) carrying clean, crisp, flashy, neat looks in their work or business clothes, or who – in addition to those afore mentioned things – are about performing services that are primarily mental, and that are particularly suited to their own types of work or business environments.
Hence, the logical deduction would be that for them (the holders of these images) these images are of many entrepreneurs as well as of many workers looking in such ways and doing such things.
Too, the opposite to that “collar and tie” mentality (again for us mentalities) is a mentality (per best called a blue collar mentality) that is obviously fundamentally related to the outlooks (ideas) of many persons who possess images of not just men but also women who carry rough, untidy, or coarse appearances in their work or business gear uniforms, and who – in addition to those appearances – are about performing services that are mainly manual mechanical and that are especially suited to their types of work or business of environments.
Hence the logical deduction must be too that many of these persons who are possessing these images do properly have these images of many other entrepreneurs as well as of many other workers looking in those particular ways and doing those particular things.
Also there are many cases where many persons have the outlooks (ideas) that are related to images of some persons – workers or entrepreneurs – not looking so clean, crisp, flashy, neat in their work business outfits, even though they engage in providing primarily mental work or business services.
Thus these persons possessing these particular images must view it that these are in contradiction to the ones held about the clean, crisp, flashy neat looks in the primarily mental work or business environment.
Thus for them too these contradicting images must relate to some workers and some entrepreneurs in the just mentioned environment.
Then there are cases where too many persons have outlooks (ideas) that relate to their possessing of images of some others carrying clean, crisp, looks even though these particular people do work or business that is primarily physical rough not mental.
As such these persons must know that these images are contradicting the ones held about men and women looking rough untidy and coarse in the very rough manual work or business environment.
And therefore they must know too that these contradicting images relate to some workers and entrepreneurs in their respective work or business environments.
Secondly, now, there is the question of how do these imageries become mentalities, or mental attitudes, leading to particular positive or negative social political habits practices and cultures consistent with the images themselves.
Now such images could not over time become mentalities for the particular persons – workers or entrepreneurs – if they did not internalize/learn them from the relevant others as being suitable to them in what ever work or business environments.
Hence these subjective images held by one another of one another only become mentalities when the relevant workers or business people, in whatever ways, OBJECTIVELY learn and practice, NOT the images, BUT the outlooks (ideas) related to these images.
Moreover, those who observe such social behaviors being practised by the relevant persons – workers or entrepreneurs – are primarily left to have images of such behaviors, which they may also rightly or wrongly relate to “collar and tie”, “blue collar” outlooks mentalities in the process of continuing to build or adapt to social identifications labels meanings in the context of changing social dynamics wheresoever.
So finally in the environment of persons – workers or entrepreneurs – wanting or accepting to THEMSELVES look clean or dirty, crisp or tattered, flashy or muddy, neat or coarse, etc in the course of doing work or business, these persons themselves practising wholly or partially these outlooks, mentalities, etc, CANNOT BE JUXTAPOSED WITH SOME INDIVIDUALS HAVING NO SCIENTIFIC FACTS TO SUPPORT THEIR VIEW THAT HAVING A COLLAR AND TIE MENTALITY MEANS INDIVIDUALS WANTING TO WORK FOR OTHERS AND NOT WANTING TO BE ENTREPRENEURIAL, and yes given some of the yet untested hypotheses we put forward earlier for your consideration.

Victor I share your thinking on this issue and ask again what tangible contribution(s) to the development of Bim have all of these scholars made?
How has Bim moved forward thanks to their ability?
We in Bim have started to believe our own rubbish about our intellectually superiority……which is why we are blessed with our political directorate.
Can any one tell me what is the difference between an Alchemist and an Economist? -

Which of our political directorate are intellectually superior? -

You REALLY mean to ask how have we benefitted from people like Sir Grantley, EWB, Tom, Sandy, and others of that era?

BT…Yes
Lee Kuan Yew of Singapore a contemporary of EWB,FB&MM and of the LSC..took over the stagnant 238 sq mi island of Singapore and with the vision he had,reformed it into a world leader.
I am not suggesting we follow his methods,but are you saying we could not think/invent our own home made viable way forward with all the scholars and leaders you are talking about.
What we have here in BIM and the Anglo-phone Caribbean is simply a follow pattern of the colonial system,with a tinker here and a tinker there…..we have not ventured out on our own into choppy seas….our entire educational system is geared to maintaining the status quo.
