David Estwick - Minister of Agriculture
David Estwick – Minister of Agriculture

We have had hints posted to BU in recent days that Dr. David Estwick is not a happy camper sitting in the ministry of agriculture far away from the ministry of finance and economic affairs. It must be clear to Prime Minister Freundel Stuart and his cabinet if they were not aware that Minister Estwick is not happy at events currently unfolding in Barbados. BU goes further to state that Estwick has been fuming since the late David Thompson banished him to the ministry of agriculture. BU is aware it had to take heavy language from DLPites to coax Estwick to accept the ministry and in the process the DLP was able to avoid embarrassment.

Any government which has to administer austerity measures will not receive acclaim.    What must NOT happen however is for the government to be perceived as divided on the issue of it’s economic strategy. Minister David Estwick’s maverick position today will only add to the lack of confidence currently affecting Barbados. Prime Minister Freundel Stuart must demonstrate he has a firm grip on his cabinet. With a 2-seat majority in parliament it is difficult to believe Stuart will be able to exert any influence of note on Estwick.

Estwick’s statement even if construed to be a bark has has done damage to the government by conveying to the Barbados public, and internationally, that the stability which Barbados has been known for over the years does not exist.  Unlike other political commentators who have dismissed Estwick’s public utterence, BU believes this Stuart government has been placed squarely on the defensive.

How long can the Barbados government continue to manage our affairs in an acrimonious climate?

    It is amazing to us that less that 48 hours after a Prime Minister of Barbados made, what we consider to be a most reviling statement, in connection with an inability of any MOF anywhere in the world to understand what he/she was doing, the punditocracy here and elsewhere could still be embroiled in an eternal political trivia that must have no end.

    We would have though that when a second PM in less than 4 months spoke to an imminent dystopia it would have represented a wake up call to sensible people. The people of Babados who like to pretend they more ‘educated’ than anybody else. This was apparently too much to hope for. Of course it does not help our cause to have a pit bull signal that he is sharpening his teeth to bit somebody. In short, neither the pundits or bloggers, on the one hand, nor the Pit Bull, on the other, have any utility for any of us. This uselessness is consigning us all to a slow death.

    The People’s Democratic Congress

    We continue to say it on here and elsewhere that what persons like Dr. David Estwick, Mr. David Comissiong, Mr. Dennis Kellman, to a great extent, and Miss Mia Mottley, Mr. Clyde Mascoll, to a lesser extent, must go and do, is to – along with many others – form their own political parties as vehicles for, et al, getting many people in mainstream politics in Barbados to accept and promote their own significant ideas and outlooks rather than to have those same ideas and outlooks being stifled stymied within this DLP/BLP foolishness.

    Only one of those has significantly gone and done it and that is Mr. Comissiong.

    We had commended him at the time – in 2005/2006 – for having plenty vision, foresight, ability and skill to have – along with many others – gone and formed the PEP.

    But, as we have previously mainly said in else places, that all new parties must get deeply involved in mainstream politics in Barbados, as one out of the many fundamental strategic principles they need to practice through out the courses of their respective existencese, in order to put themselves in positions to seriously electorally vie for and win government, whereupon at whatever time they win government, they would be able to bring tremendous changes to domestic mainstream politics, we regret to now say though that Mr Comissiong has not gone and done so, and therefore he has not held on to two out of those other axiomatic things ( the other is using the party to promote those significant ideas and outlooks into mainstream political thinking) which – once done – would help his party to ensure its long term political survival and development in Barbados.

    By the PEP not being able to do so, at least not yet, and none of the other individuals named above not doing so, setting out on an individual political basis to form their own parties with a view of getting their very substantially different ideas and outlooks become part of mainstream political thinking either – though their having great opportunities to do so, does show that it would be unfortunately difficult for them to survive outside of this DLP/BLP sickness.

    Check that the PEP leader would have gone and projected himself to the PDC, as subjecting himself to some people who do not have half the integrity and intelligence and humanity that he has – by going to one of those recently organized BLP meetings. That made us really cringed!!

    Therefore, it is on the above bases too that we do not believe that Dr. Estwick will go outside of what helps him to survive in this DLP/BLP plague – like a virus that cannot survive outside of a human pathological sickness – and make any earth shattering statements that would leave him – as he may think – very vulnerable politically to certain kinds of political conditions.

    “..and especially those with an attitude of negativity constantly sending messages of doom and gloom which in fact undermine the growth of our country and hampers and dampens investors confidence…”

    Now who the hell is doing a more negative job of undermining investor confidence than the blind idiots running the show while chasing a black bald cat around a broken down Cabinet?

    Once again the Fumbling Bungling Failure will break the agreement with the IMF announced on December 13th 2013.
    On whom or what will Mr. Failall blame the continuing failure to meet the January 31st deadline? The BLP inciting unrest? The unions siding with the MoL Suck-up or the computer for failing to generate an all-BLP-supporters list? What will be next date with destiny for the workers? After the soon coming elections to fulfil the DLP prognostication 10,000 will be sent home by the BLP?

    Who in their right mind would have confidence in or back a set of incompetent johnnies playing a monkey game of fiscal musical chairs?
    What kind of Westminster traditions are at play when the Rt. Hon medal hunter like Fumble Muttley (aka Mr. Magoo looking for a black bald pooch cat in a black hole) allows two ministers of the Crown to clearly undermine the fundamental integrity of the meaning of Cabinet Government but still resides confidence in both of them?

    In their last general election UK voters chose representatives for 320 seats from which 23 ministers were appointed.

    In our last general election we voted for 30 representatives from which 17 ministers had to be chosen.

    The odds of finding elected representatives from the Bajan Westminster system to manage this country are impossible, like playing stud poker with a 10-card deck.

    Until the cabinet of BDS is expanded to include non-MP members or the entire cabinet/government system is brought down, this yard-fowl bullshit will continue to ensure our demise.

    Estwick is right, his fellow cabinet members couldn’t manage a piss-up in a brewery. In the absence of a workable alternative, it might well be time to try the brewery next door.

    Dr David Estwick comments were aimed specifically at the goons in the Barbados Labour Party and not at the government where he is a key member.
    Dr Estwick was indicating that members of the BLP are the pig headed ones and not his DLP counterparts.
    I would suggest that commenters please refer to Dr Estwick last budget speech in August last year to try to understand what Dr Estwick is trying to say.
    Licks for the naysayers, doomsayers, nincompoops and the political miscreants that make up the Barbados Labour Party.
    Dr Estwick is attacking the clowns who are opposing his government policies.

    Frustrated Businessman is very wrong in terms of UK Gov. There are 650 MPs in Westminster, 359 in the Gov coalition side but Cameron has the biggest GOV in history= 121 Peers and MPs as Gov ministers and their assistants plus 43 PPs. But that is mere dog-poop in the Bds context. Estwick makes waves while his boss is away in Cuba. He will make his move while the lay-offs are happening in order to be associated with the victims of HIS Gov. The DLP history tells us there are three options: He plays Branford and sulks: he plays Richie and forms a new party with ??? et al: he plays the Sandi-cross-the-floor fellows and forces an election.
    This is all DLP deja vue once again (LOL) Or does he have enough DLP support to manage a leadership coup?

    Have you not yet figured out the “negroman” is not only a stupid racist nigger but also a blp (blasted lying pimp) for the DLP?

    A subservient fool who refuses to accept his Master DLP is just a bunch of lying incompetents that would soon implode but hopefully when the dreaded DLP induced Devaluation shit hits the IMF diarrhoea fan as a punishment for their lies and deceit about layoffs and privatization.

    It’s a pity the negroman and fellow imbecile ac from yard-fowl land cannot insist their beloved party (about to kick the bucket) finishes the white elephant called the David Thompson Mausoleum for a St. John polyclinic.

    DLP politicians usually engage in these kinds antics as distractions just before major events or announcements. In this case, it’s the impending layoffs which are due to commence today or tomorrow.

    I really want to believe that Dr. Estwick is serious, and hope that he is but I have seen these antics from Mr. Sealy, Mr. Jones and especially Sink-liar. So until something happens I can only view this as another distraction.

    It would be interesting to find out the others in the DLP cabinet who feel as Estwick does. Don’t believe for a moment he is on his own.

    are-we-there-yet? at 12:11 AM
    But, strategically, he could not be in a better position for repeating some aspects of the Richie Haynes move from the DLP to form the NDP a few decades ago. This time however, the environment might be ripe for a new party to go all the way to Government House.
    Estwick, along with some other members of the DLP, must recognize that Freundal has led them over a cliff and that the options that will be provided by a split from the party now could save the political skins of those who jump out now with a parachute of ideas provided by Estwick.

    I trust he forces them put the IMF agreement, signed by Sinckler, without Cabinet knowledge or blessing, in the public domain.

    After Sinlker discloses terms of the IMF agreement to his Cabinet colleagues, he must release those terms to the public domain. Barbadians deserve to know the deal to which they have been committed by their their government. And until government discloses, FDI will be on freeze, if not being repatriated by existing foreign investors.

    Both Ds and Bs have failed Barbadians.

    This far-away observer of matters politic in Barbados, believes the best option for DE (and Barbadians) is to take Option 6, and set out to be the second coming of EB by forming a new party; to include candidates from both sides of the house and others without political baggage and a record of success in business (and labour).

    FS and CS are guilty of the high crime of death by a thousand cuts and that is unkindest cut of all.

    the PM may wish to view CS as eminent, politically or otherwise but if is an indisputable fact that by any yardstick he is an abominable failure as Minister of Finance.

    As a potential investor, I note that David and Plantations Deeds have just hit the nail on the head:

    David: “The key concern all Bajans must have is how do we restore confidence in our little country. The political discord serves no purpose at all. Isn’t time we reached this conclusion?”

    Plantation Deeds: “Don’t worry about the return on your investment. Worry about your investment being returned.”

    I have no confidence at present, but i hope someone does something soon (instead of just talking about it) so that I, and others, might consider Barbados more favourably. Whatever you do, the recovery will take time and will not be pleasant, but the longer you leave it, the longer it will take and the more unpleasant it will be. Good luck.

    Yes, you, (the 123 niggerman) the same Chinese who the same DLP administration, (that stupid idiot of a racist negroman backs) is begging head over heels for a little financial support to save your country from economic Armageddon.

    When are you black fools going to get it into your stupid heads for pea brains you cannot cuss people like a racist trooper and still go around with your begging bowl and hand stretched out to people to give or lend you money or invest in your black country.

    Why not start with an obvious first step?
    Why not change the current administration (by democratic means of course, or by the hand of God like the Maradonna famous goal)?

    Businesses do it all the time when the board of directors or the top management team is not working in the interests of the shareholders.
    Why not change the current “team” of incompetents even if it means revert to the lesser of the two economic evils?
    At least you will know you could be on a path to serious privatization and smaller government in the management of the Bajan economy.

    With all the ranting and raving as to who is in power or who is not, let me say it does not matter a dam. Our major problem is that we have been living off of the back of a very overvalued currency. We are importing more than we can pay for without borrowing funds. We are no longer competitive in our main foreign exchange earner Tourism. We all need to cut back on consumption of imported goods from food to gasoline cars and smartphones. When you have a brain tumor, see a brain surgeon. The IMF is the brain surgeon. They are going out straighten our mess which has been created over many years. Tighten your belts.

    “ Our major problem is that we have been living off of the back of a very overvalued currency. We are importing more than we can pay for without borrowing funds. We are no longer competitive in our main foreign exchange earner Tourism.”

    The message you are trying to convey is nothing new to the BU family although undeniably true and indeed pertinent as the zeitgeist of the ‘current’ Barbados.

    However, we are most surprised you are not being vilified as a prophet of doom and gloom marching backwards with a ‘red’ banner of negativity marked BLP by the likes of ac, Alvin C and the venomous Fractured and his entourage of cesspool mongers.

    Keep at it; keep pounding away at the Bajan wall of ignorance and stupidity of falsely protecting the naïve ‘sweet-livers’ from the realities of the modern economic world. A people unaware of the paradigm shift in economic realities which will soon hit them like a tsunami that would make Jamaica look like just a high wind.
