In the last six years Barbados has been consumed by an unprecedented type of polarising politics. It is a politics which has reordered national priorities. No longer are decisions made on the basis of what is important on the national front but more to do with what is politically expedient. Political pundits had warned that the 2-seat majority government which resulted from the last general election would have landed us here. A classic illustration is the government’s commitment to send home 3,000 public sector workers but because of political imperatives the national exigency has had to be sacrificed, the result; a bloated Cabinet.

Perhaps the best example of politics trumping commonsense and national interest is the 9-day topical issue –  the Estwick Affair. One member of parliament holds the trump card (theoretically) which potentially affects the balance of government in Barbados. Whereas Arthur would have fired Estwick from Cabinet a long time ago – he had bench strength in the House – Prime Minister Stuart is forced to tolerate a minister who has made it known publicly he disagrees with Cabinet; a severe break from convention.  BU referred to Estwick’s trump card as theoretical because he has developed the reputation as a bluffer.

If the country was focussed on the national priority we should be grilling Estwick about what the Ministry of Agriculture (MoA) has achieved under his stewardship since 2010. Insiders are aware it took several days of suasion to get him to accept the agriculture ministry.

In fact he was on the verge of resigning we understand. In 2010 when Estwick finally accepted the transfer to the MoA he saw reason to list his achievements as Minister of Economic Affairs. We are asking Estwick to again list his achievements as Minister of Agriculture. If we want to promote a system of meritocracy in the country then the value of our leaders must be evaluated by their achievements. Estwick has been instrumental in starting the construction of the Barbados Water Authority building and installation three tanks to store molasses at the Bridgetown port. But what is his report card? More importantly what have you done to further Dr. Estwick to further the cause of food security for Barbados? What initiatives have you implemented or have in the pipeline to reduce our humongous food import bill? Earning foreign exchange is our lifeblood and it is scary to read reports that forex has declined by 100 million in the month of January 2014.

Time to stop the silly games and accept the responsibility of managing the country. A listen to the debate in parliament yesterday should be sufficient to indicate we have an intellectual deficit affecting that august chamber.

    Even in the face of a mountain of evidence provided by the IMF you fools still refuse to listen to commonsense.
    Do you really fathom the serious quagmire of economic challenges Bim is in? Let us suppose the Opposition were to agree to your call for an amendment to the Constitution to cut public sector pay across the board, do you really feel the IMF would allow you guys to take back on the payroll (even with the cut) 3,500 earmarked for immediate dismissal or the pending wave of redundancies to stem from the merging, privatization and closure of Public Sector enterprises (PEs).

    Whom do you guys thing you are dealing with? Clyde Mascoll, Mottley or Estwick?

    Do you, johnny, understand the gravamen of the following statement(s):

    “Outlook and risks. Recent fiscal measures, if fully implemented, should stabilize debt levels by 2016. However, downside risks are considerable and failure to implement corrective policies could result in a disorderly adjustment process. Even with full implementation, fiscal financing pressures and external sector sustainability would remain challenging.”

    “Delays or failure to implement planned fiscal measures. These risks are not negligible (e.g.
    there is ongoing pressure from labor unions to unwind layoff decisions). A continuation of
    policy trends could lead to further monetization of the deficit, drop in investor confidence,
    further reserves losses, and pressure on the currency peg.”

    The IMF have given you guys a “temporary” (like the workers used for electoral purposes and now abused and refused) stay of execution.
    Make use of the limited time to prepare and present a case for a commutation from financial death (significant adjustment in your currency, like 50 % forthwith, with inevitable downward spiralling) to a long stay in fiscal prison.

    We need not engage such a debate at this time because I can assure you, that when Clinton relinquished power to Bush Jr between 2000 or was it 2001? The definition of the middle class was still on the lips of the average American. You’re quite right though; after 8 years of mismanagement by the Bush Administration, the gap between the rich and poor has gotten wider. And finally, those two illegal wars which actually cost the American taxpayers a $100 million dollars a week, did a blow job on the middle class in America friend.

    Don’t bother about “waiting”, he was a BLP stalwart but his thieving ways have forced him into the arms of the DLP in order to get contracts to earn enough money to compensate the clients that he stole from.

    You also asked if he is for real, or just plain stupid. The answer is clearly yes or he wouldn’t have overdosed on Viagra to keep up with a young thing damaging his heart in the process.

    Oh, by the way “Waiting” sending your emissaries to complain to my friends about what I write on BU would not help you, I dance to the beat of my own drum: I am not controlled by anyone, so you need not bother. Leave me alone.

    “To suggest the BLP should propose a resolution to ask government to cut salaries after the fact is somewhat ludicrous”

    And what makes it all the more ludicrous is that the minister of Finance should be aware that cutting the salaries of the entire public service et al Statutory Boards would not even make the slightest dent in a fiscal deficit bucket in excess of $300 million dollars and climbing because of the dithering by the current administration

    is it politically ill- advisable to cut salaries at a time when the island is face with an economic crisis of this magnitude? We have seen this done in places such as Unites States, Canada and throughout Europe just to name a few and it has been proven to produced measurable results. The numbers however, that the government is talking about seen rather astronomical and would obviously affect operation within each department one would think. But who am I to comment on what government ought or ought not do; obviously these people are in a better position than you or I and knows precisely what is needed to get the island running again.

    Ac, what has become of your soul mate Carson Cadogan the erstwhile resident comedian on BU? Is he still the No. 1 patriot of George Street?

    Is he still prepared to vilify the miller for calling the garden spade Worrell a lying incompetent joker of a spade?
    Lagarde intends to ensure the wobbling Worrell gets his comeuppance for being uppity with his lying deceitful self.

    We would have supported his brazenness only if he was indeed a genuine intellectual instead of being a lying jumped-up puppet bent on manipulating financial data to suit his sycophantic desires to kiss the MoF’s backside.

    Why wasn’t he man enough (like the latter day saint Estwick) to stand up to Sinckliar demanding that he euphemistically prints money to save the boss liar’s backside and help him win an elections in February 2013?

    Here is what the IMF (with direct but unwritten instructions from Christine) has told the ‘authorities’:
    You either get rid of the little deceitful untrustworthy devil, the printer of fake money, or we turn your currency into monopoly money, useful only to children of yesteryear as cut-plate in their play-play shops.

    “Is it politically ill- advisable to cut salaries at a time when the island is face with an economic crisis of this magnitude? We have seen this done in places such as Unites States, Canada and throughout Europe just to name a few and it has been proven to produced measurable results.”

    The above point is taken.

    “But who am I to comment on what government ought or ought not do; obviously these people are in a better position than you or I and knows precisely what is needed to get the island running again.”

    Your point is a bit naïve; if the government were indeed aware of the economic situation confronting this island, surely they would not have employed hundreds of people at the various statutory/quasi organisations or undertake a number of non-productive activities prior to the 2013 elections. Additionally, if pay-cuts were on their list of priorities, certainly they would have discussed such actions with the various unions, while involving the Opposition so as to ensure collective support if they had intended to table a pay cut resolution in parliament.

    To make a ministerial statement of their intended actions of lay-offs by January 15, 2014 and subsequently commence terminations on December 31, 2013; then challenge the opposition to bring a pay cut resolution AFTER THE FACT, is absolutely a ploy to put the BLP on the back foot in an effort to gain political points.

    I must say that you cannot fault the DLP for their political maneuvers; however, if they channeled these efforts into administering the country, we will all be better off.

    @ Fractured

    Glad you enjoyed the presentation. if it is accepted, does this not erase the level of confidence the Prime Minister had in the Minister and Ministry of Finance, the Council of Economic Advisors and its chairman Dr. Frank Alleyne, Darcy Boyce, Jepter Ince, the Medium Term Fiscal Strategy, the Central Bank and Dr. Delisle Worrell, et al. [including Dr. Estwick as well].

    Mr. Fractured it is very enlightening to know that during the past 6 years of some people on this blog, IMF, Standards & Poors, Moody’s and elsewhere, highlighting the errors of the economic strategies undertaken by this current administration, and you stoutly defending these policies over this time; miraculously, it has taken a 6 minute presentation by Dr. Estwick to convince you that the DLP’s policies were actually wrong.

    Bearing in mind that Estwick was also critical of the goverment’s policies; you, by stating that his presentation was “awesome”, is indicative of the fact you agree with him, then you have conceded that everyone else was right, and you and the DLP were wrong.

    You musee feel like a real idiot now, yuh. My friend, you have demonstrated that you are the epitome of stupidity. I hope you reflect on the stance you have consistently taken on this blog and contemplate your humiliation.

    @ ac

    Dr. Estwick has criticised the government’s economic policies, and in answer to your suggestion, brought forth alternative policies. You are now, in innuendo, accusing him of being selfish and unpatriotic.

    I guess ya can’t please wunnah at all.

    The DLP has introduced a new definition of patriotism: blind and unswerving loyalty to an organisation; that is, at if you are not with DEM, then you do not have the country’s best interest at heart.

    Supporters brag that the DLP developed this island intellectually by introducing free secondary education. If an individual capitalises on this initiative and uses his intellect to analytical to bring an alternative perspective, instead of being commended for being independent of thought, he is vilified and accused of being influenced by the Opposition BLP. This message is aggressively relayed by Stuart, Sinckler, Donville Inniss, Blackett, Adriel Brathwaite and Michael Lashley.

    AC, and as indicated by Fractured BLP’s latest post, indicates that both these individuals lack the propensity to think rationally, while seeking to endorse and ratify the diatribe pronounced by the DLP politicians.

    Although many of the contributors to this blog may seem to support the BLP, their thought process, analysis and overall presentation of their contributions[though one may not always agree with some of the content] are logical and consistent.

    $ 70 million spent on Eastry House ….both Clyde Mascoll and the Barbados Audit Office still trying to find the location of this building !

    Edmund Hinkson still believes George Payne is a THIEF !

    This is 2014 and after being PM and party colleague of Mia Mottley for over 20 years ….Owen Arthur still tells all of Barbados he has no CONFIDENCE in her !

    All Barbadians would, I am sure (despite what ac writes) would like to see a change so that confidence can be restored to get this economy going again. But how do we move forward when we have the jackass comment coming from the ‘leader” last Sunday…………..he aint lost no confidence in anybody……wha..wha…if a woman loses confidence in her husband, it is for her to get back the confidence, not the husband…..

    When all is said and done there is one word to describe P.M. Stuart. Coward! The man doesn’t have the courage to call a press conference and face questions from a pool of individuals. He prefers to occasionally get up in front of party supporters at branch meetings, and have stupid press persons in Barbados run behind him and return to their studios and news rooms with poor quality audio recordings to broadcast to the masses. How often must I hear David Ellis apologise for the quality of the recording from one of those meetings? Why can’t the association of journalist refuse to cover the P.M. and his ministers until they decide to hold official press conferences? To be fair, P.M. Arthur started the trend of not holding press conferences in the later years of his third term, and the spineless press in Barbados has allow the practice to become the norm. The late P.M. David Thompson’s and M.P. Mia Mottley were the two exceptions in the last decade.

    Okay, same old, same old… Greenland, Eastry House…. However, do you not think it is time that you get over those things. And you talk about theifing.

    We have a scenario where Thompson & Associates billed CLICO $3.33M for legal services rendered which turned out to be a partial payment of gratuity to Parris. Millions of dollars transferred from the Ministry of Finance to NHC without parliamentary approval, yet Kellman cannot get CLICO to finish houses and will opt to sell houses “as is”, other housing projects not nearly completed. Where has all this money gone to? Additionally, then minister Michael Lashley fired chair-person Marilyn Rice-Bowen after she questioned the legitimacy of contracts issued to build houses; now Stuart wants to repeal the PAC after it revealed the transfer of funds from Ministry of Finance detouring parliament.
    Are you aware that employing hundreds of people to win an election, knowing full well that the economical climate was not conducive for such, was not only counter-productive and violated election campaign laws, but can be legitimately categorized as “teifing”?

    As it relates to loss of confidence, Arthur has publically stated, being 1 out of the 14, he has no confidence in Mottley. Conversely, Estwick, being one of 16 {experiencing camaraderie with most of them for over 20 years as well}, publically stated he has no confidence in Stuart, Sinckler, and the other 13. In other words, Arthur against Mottley; whereas Estwick against all the rest.

    @ Fractured Brain Languid Person [BLP]

    Additionally, I must expand on this “teifing” issue. Prior to the 2008 election campaign, the DLP went the length and breadth of Barbados informing Barbadians they had proof that the then BLP administration were “teifing”, and once elected to office, they will conduct a number of forensic audits to uncover all financial infelicities, bring those persons at the helm of such to justice, while promising to bring transparency and freedom of information legislation.

    After 8 years, we have seen no such legislation, no one has been held accountable and sent to jail for the wastage and the “empty treasury” Thompson said he found, and the money in overseas bank accounts as revealed by Thompson are yet to be found.

    If you lot were serious about transparency, you would not try to muzzle the PAC, despite the methods, within reason, it may employ to find information. The financials at the NIS and other statutory agencies would be current and people would not be dismissed if they questioned certain matters undertaken by this administration.

    Also, it was good to highlight Arthur driving a BMW jeep, yet no one has found it interesting that against the background of a severe economic crisis, lay-offs in the public and private sector, citizens asked to “wrap themselves in the flag” to help the country, work hours reduced; yet when asked about the reduction of minister’s pay, Donville Inniss informs all and sundry he has bills to pay and children to send school, and Steve Blackett has a new, white, over $200G Audi.

    Ironically, Owen has lost confidence in Mia, so what!!! The regional and international financial regulators [check the consistent downgrades given to Barbados], investors, David Estwick and the majority of rationally thinking Barbadians have LOST ALL CONFIDENCE in this current DLP administration.
