Denis Kellman, Kellmoronic", “broadcast on TV last Monday night - that temporary workers have been cut off so they can be made permanent”

Hon. Denis Kellman M.P, Kellmoronic”, “broadcast on TV last Monday night – that temporary workers have been cut off so they can be made permanent…”

As more forceful condemnations come with greater frequency convicting Freundel Stuart and his DLP of gross negligence and persistent dereliction of duty in serving country first, the not unexpected responses of what is now widely regarded as a band of nincompoops are more fabrications, braying attempts at blaming and shifting responsibility to the BLP, and virulent attacks on our leader Mia Mottley.

Having humiliated themselves by lying and demolishing Barbados’ economy.  The DLP with Stuart in the lead, as they scramble at every straw to maintain power and their pensions, are now tarnishing the image of office by becoming bottom feeders scraping up every piece of garbage and throwing it in desperate attempts to defend what cannot be defended and stick their slime (stink with incompetence) on someone else.

The DLP is so topsy-turvy and misled for so long, what was a small cut is now an affliction of festering sores. They are now asking for faith, patience and kindness – having been given all three for six years and ruthlessly destroying them.

How else can anyone on Earth or Mars explain, even by his own sublimely ignorant standards, the “Kellmoronic”, broadcast on TV last Monday night – that temporary workers have been cut off so they can be made permanent and that it is unfair to have people working temporary. Better to not have them working at all!!

This is the madness now endemic in the Barbados.

The BLP will not be either distracted or diverted in its mission to represent the people of Barbados and put the country’s interest foremost by making public, information the DLP wishes to hide, laying out the facts the DLP wishes to ignore and camouflage with mindless chatter, keeping faith with Barbadians by giving them the facts, hard as they are, and providing opportunities for the voices of the people to be heard.

The BLP will remain steadfast in putting Barbados first.

Mia Mottley, after 24 years of public service marked with achievements, shines bright like a diamond in Barbados politics, more so if compared with the motley crew of the DLP – and we beg them to compare so they can learn something.

Stuart and his blind followers can manipulate to hold power for 100 years. They will still not come close to matching the outstanding successes of the last BLP Government under Owen Arthur. Or any BLP government for that matter.

There will be no deviating from the DNA of the BLP in speaking truth to power and defending Barbadians, the very essence of the birth of this great party now celebrating 75 years of unparalleled service, regardless of the consequences.

The unions can abandon the people in their moment of need. The BLP will not prevaricate in denouncing the vile way the DLP is treating hard working public servants and will remain resolute that better alternatives could have been followed to avoid the chopping of 3000 or whatever the number is in such callous DLP fashion.

The DLP and its minions can curse. The BLP will remain resolute in calling for the dismissal of the Minister of Finance because the evidence is overflowing that he has been an unmitigated disaster.

Freundel can spew as many Latin phrases, homilies, incomprehensible soliloquies while forgetting he is supposed to be engaging an audience – typical of a man who sleeps so much his sense of night and day is confused.

There will be no letting up by Mia Mottley and team BLP in prosecuting the DLP for its all round ineptitude. Mia will not hold back the truth that Freundel Stuart has no grip on his team, no handle on Barbados and is, by far, the worst Prime Minister in the history of Barbados.

And Freundel has got to go.

The evidence is clear as day and the crescendo from all, except those who do not wish to see, that the Government must go before Barbados goes cannot be ignored. Some of the most recent condemnations have come from the editorials. The IMF. Economist who have dissected the IMF report. The call-in programmes. Sir Lloyd Sandiford, has weighed in; his words a strong indictment of Stuart’s lack of leadership and competence. Estwick has dropped a bomb exploding the carefully crafted facade of the DLP social club.

The IMF – IMF! – has rebuked the Government on how it beheaded public workers. The IMF has said there were other paths. The IMF has denounced the Central Bank for its printing of money, reinforcing the position of the BLP that the Governor of the Central Bank is trifling with the future of Barbados.

The reserves continue to plummet – now down some $180 million or so since December, despite the Credit Suisse loan and despite that this should be our biggest period for earning foreign exchange. And despite the Governor of the Central Bank’s recent assurances, confidence in the economy has not returned.

The case against Stuart and crew is compelling in its simplicity. As noted, a Government of Barbados has never been so despised and 60 million Frenchmen cannot be wrong. Everyone else cannot be nuisances except Stuart and Sinckler, to whom Stuart has pledged his support. Guess Estwick must also go!

In Barbados’ Waterloo, our battle to save the nation, requiring a general with command of his troops to take charge and lead from the front, Barbadians are now expected to suffer a dilettante whose insouciance is only surpassed by the shambles among his officers, themselves unfit for the task at hand, consumed with in-fighting and staying alive for the spoils of a pension.

Into the breech, yet again, the BLP has stepped. As the DLP has lied, the BLP has from before the election of 2008 laid out what was facing Barbadians. As the DLP has gorged itself on personal attacks, the BLP has stuck to speaking to the issues. As the DLP has postured, confused with semantics and concentrated on propaganda and imagery, the BLP has remained focused on the need for a strong economy and warned of the dangers to society, institutions and governance that are all now too evident.

The BLP’s Rubbing Shoulders programme has been the avenue for businesses and employees to bring attention to problems while offering solutions and the People’s Assemblies have proven to be the one positive amidst DLP abuse of citizens and distortions of the calamitous situation facing the country and will be seen, in proper context, as an important social tool, even a safety valve, at a time when Barbados required the truth, people of courage to stand for country and a structure through which to vent frustrations, share stories, broadcast alternative prescriptions and have hope.

What has the DLP scared more than anything is that despite the inordinate time spent in trying to create impressions of a wedge in the BLP is the sure knowledge that the BLP team will stand behind their leader Mia Mottley in defence of Barbados.

The unequivocal stand of the BLP team in Parliament last two Tuesdays was piercing. Mia and all members of the BLP will not cease executing their duty by any lawful means to speak to the many serious ills facing the country and agitate for an end to incompetence regardless of which DLP person in whom that that is vested – all of them.

As long as this tyranny reigns in Barbados, the BLP will stand steadfastly in putting Barbados first.BLP Will Remain Steadfast for Barbados. As more forceful condemnations come with greater frequency convicting Freundel Stuart and his DLP of gross negligence and persistent dereliction of duty in serving country first, the not unexpected responses of what is now widely regarded as a band of nincompoops are more fabrications, braying attempts at blaming and shifting responsibility to the BLP, and virulent attacks on our leader Mia Mottley.

  1. Any plans on registering as a not for profit organization in the near future ..? Come on. We do have serious engine problems and continuously rotating the tires have not gotten us very far


  2. Wasn’t MAM fighting to reform party constitution when she was knocking heads with the gang of 5 faction within the party? Has she given up the fight now that she is LEADING the party?


  3. Sir your compositional eloquence is loaded with cliches and the contemporary perennial phrases of our day and time. I haven’t seen a piece of writing so infused with cliches and regurgitated skullduggery in quite some time. But, I guess you as well as myself are entitled to express our opinion the way we see fit becasue let’s face it; it doesn’t strike me as odd that BU would jump as the opportunity to discredit the ruling administration every chance it gets. Now, I hope BU doesn’t take affront to my comment because I am only calling it as I’ve seen it expressed here on the BU blog.


  4. It is good that Bovell took the advice to use a psydonom.
    More work is still needed however.


  5. Sir how about one paragraph which conspicuously articulates some of the good which the DLP has done and then you’re entitled to move ahead with your smearing campaign. You’re obviously doing a disservice to the BU readership when your analysis of the DLP is loaded with partiality and the want of objective analysis.


  6. @ @ Mark Fenty
    You are a damn lier.
    No way you typed that post @ 8:01 a.m. on a cellphone …
    ….um too sweet and eloquent man!
    Bushie had to read um twice… LOL


  7. You know, Fenty, though I am far from being a supporter of the party/Government which appears to be yours, I couldn’t agree with you more. That you should feel you had to write your last sentence is a shocking indictment of those you address. and of the minefield we all have to face in saying anything, in the name of truth, which does not ‘fit’ what we are supposed to say.


  8. How long is too long for Estwick to give the PM and Cabinet?

    The deviant Hyde persona will soon be replaced by the Dr. Jekyll levelheadedness and desire to conform.
    Dr. David will soon recede into a state of ‘hushed’ oblivion just like the Eager 11 after the “heads will roll” threat from the sleeping bully.

    Why is this administration spending time and money in building a community centre to house a constituency council while the St. John polyclinic remains in mothball or has work started back to meet an “April 01” opening, just like the BRA?


  11. Why do nurses, who work on wards, wear their uniforms in the street? Is it a ‘status’ thing or simply a strange belief that germs can’t cling to white things?


  12. So say the DLP are removed from power and the BLP resume office, what are the BLP plans to improve the economy of Barbados?


  13. Ross, you’re quite right germs do can cling to white things when there are such conditions as Methicillin Resistant Staphyolococcus Aureus (MRSA). Nurses actually transfer this condition on their white uniforms to the general population.

    So say the DLP are removed from power and the BLP resume office, what are the BLP plans to improve the economy of Barbados?

    Lets take a guess. Pit Bull gets his reward for bringing down the DLP with the Minister of Finance portfolio. He’ll be over the moon because that’s his sole focus.
    Mascoll, Payne , Dale Marshall not to mention Kerry and OSA will go berserk. If Mottley thinks Owen is the ultimate backstabber now wait an see what happens. The BLP will borrow the UAE money to be paid back at $570 million a year. Barbados in short order will be bankrupt. At least under the Dems there is a glimpse of a faint light at the end of a long tunnel. Not to be left out Hilary Beckles becomes High Commissioner to UK his mother country he loves to hate even as he drools on being a Sir Knight like COW. Lord come for yuh world.


  15. Pearl in addition to that the distribution of spoils memo includes George Belle assigned to Havana as Ambassador to Fidel.

    This is a fantasy.

    Fumble’s Fools will never be trusted again by anyone this country needs to move forward. Too many helping hands have been burned. Even if they cut their expenditure to IMF requirements, tax income will continue to fall from all sources.

    The only thing that will jump-start internal and external investment in Barbados Inc. is a change of management.


  17. Is the 180 million fx reduction in us$????


  18. Don’t fret Frustrated Businessman you are down to replace John Beale in Washington.


  19. Ross, (MRSA) the abbreviation for Methicillin Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus is a reality in the healthcare industry today, even with the use of Universal Precautions.

    Waiting, do not confuse patriots with lackies.

    The only people supporting the worst gov’t in the history of this country are some of the lackies (many have already jumped ship) and some of the ignorant voting masses who are hopefully starting to realise the value and maybe even the responsibility of their vote, if not the reasons for their suffering.

    I have no doubt that ‘things will get better’, the only requirement is a change of gov’t; regardless of the timeframe. Until that happens the economy will only get worse; some will perish, most will survive and a very few will flourish until then.

    The private sector has accepted the civil service mantra of ‘do nothing’ until then. You can like it or lump it, those are the facts as considered and agreed in offices and boardrooms inside and outside this country. The coming weeks will prove me right if figures are released. You will see property transfer tax, corporate tax, import taxes and even the holy VAT revenues continue to plummet. More ‘off-book’ trading and bartering will be done as businesses try to stay afloat and life will go on.

    The tragedy in this entire 6-year fiasco is the lost opportunities; those are gone forever.


  21. @Frustratedbusinessman
    I like to play the eternal optimist role because I would never give upon hope for a better tomorrow. You have to hope against hope buddy. There is always light at the end of the tunnel. It just hasn’t materialized in the way in which we would like or hope it to be. I am quite sure the majority of Americans felt as the majority of Barbadians do today, during the Great Depression of the 1930’s. But I am quite cognizant of the fact that there were leaders on both sides of the political spectrum who continually informed the collective conscience of the hopeless masses in positive ways. Our words carry power and influence and we ought to be circumspect with respect to how we articulate them to appease our displeasures for any given situation. Yes, there is probably mismanagement of resources and a lack of foresightedness with respect to this administration, and it is our civic duty as the electorate to make this reality known. Then what? Sitting on a political blog day and night and denigrating, besmearing, castigating and vitiating the current administration does little in the way of making a meaningful difference to the existing political reality in Barbados. What are ya’ll doing to actively to galvanize the collective conscience of the Barbadian masses against what ya’ll termed an ocean of incompetency with respect to the political oversight of this present administration?


  22. @Frustratedbusinessman
    Your skepticism has led me to concluded that no matter what this administration does, it would never appease your inherited discontent for the leadership of the DLP.


  23. David (BU)
    Congratulations are in order since the DLP and BLP deemed it necessary to submit their weekly offerings of “Douglas” and “Beresford” respectively to BU.


  24. @Bajan in NY

    Let us hope they find BU feedback useful, the intelligent comments of course and not those posted who appear to be suffering from verbal diarrhea.

    Then what if the change of government does not produce the kind of results you’re anticipating. Would you hang yourself at the end of a rope? God forbid. But your kind of thinking surely leads one to conclude that you’re heading in that kind of a direction because you’re obviously idealist if you believe for one moment that government could do no wrong.


  26. @ Frustratedbusinessman
    A utopian concept of government is an idea conceived in the mind of idealist buddy. An your inability comprehend this reality speaks to the principles and values which governances your infinitesimal way of view the political landscape in the Lilliputian island of Barbados.


  27. Insult added to injury=DLP. In reference to Dennis Kellman…..to reply would be to dignify.


  28. The Party which will stay in power the longest is that which has integrity, does not boast and lie at election time, keeps its promises, ensures from the highest level that its Ministers seek to follow the statesman role, and who ALL look after the country and people in a RESPONSIBLE manner.

    I was a DLP supporter, but the last few Jackasses have lost my confidence that they can even look after a pet dog, far less an entire nation.

    My fear of the BLP is that they will go to the other extreme, want to do and boast too much, and that the people of Barbados will suffer even worse – not just from the physical conditions but also from the utter nonsense the politicians think we will still listen to and believe in this day and age.

    Believe this: People want their politicians to be statesmen/stateswomen, honest, straightforward, responsible and with an eye on the long term, the health of the country and its people, to be accessible and have a heart for those in need, especially o\the ones who cannot help themselves.

    The day a politician turns selfish, thinks only of themselves and seeks only short term monetary gain and reward is the day they should be thrown out of office, pelted with big rocks, insulted by small children, and never allowed to return to politics.

    Enter politics to SERVE YOUR PEOPLE, not to get rich in the shortest possible time.


  29. The Barbados labor party should stop using the American Republican Party as a model. The mess was partly inherited and a government with their head in the sand. This is a crisis that has been in the making for at least ten years. It didn’t start with the present Party. The Quote master Prime minister needs to speak to the people and dump the idiotic speeches. Barbados will be in trouble until it realizes that Harrison College and The University of Waterford are only High schools. Being part of those old boys and now girls club does not make you the smartest people in the world.. When the economic collapse in the US started in 2007 they should have realized its worldwide ramifications. We are dependent on tourism if the folks in the developed world don’t have disposable income they aren’t going to travel. Belt tightening should have started progressively 6 years ago. Time to end the freeloading people in public housing who own private houses and rent them out. People who are living in NHS housing without paying rent for 15 years. There is no enforcement because politicians want their votes. People living in completed houses and not paying taxes because it isn’t painted. The list goes on. Tourist will not pay a 17% sales tax especially those from North America. Scrap vat and have a more reasonable sales tax.

    who are these people you are talking about,,,,,,,,,,,,,and which country;;;;;;;;;;;the reality is that people only interest is SELF,,,,,,,,the best interest of the country and people interest are not the same ,,, the two are not equal ……. diametrically opposed ……the tail wags the dog,,,


  31. @ G King
    “… Until it is realized that Harrison College and the University of Waterford are only High Schools…”
    I must agree with you on this issue but I must first admit that it had taken me sometime to realize that some people in Barbados utilize their school as an emblem to validate their sense of importance. But obviously, your perspective as does mine aren’t confined to the microscopic island of Barbados as those persons who somehow brandish their school as a badge of honor to delineate themselves from the rest of us. You know, it is laughable how some people in Barbados who haven’t had the opportunity to experience the walls of academia; thinks that just because they have attended Harrison College as well as Queen College and the likes, that they’re somehow qualified to express they unqualified opinion on matters that are obviously beyond they intellectual comprehension. And as I’ve stated above: it had taken me sometime to understand the psychological apparatus which fuels the national thinking of the Barbadian people. And I’ve discovered that we’re a culture that is profoundly enveloped in the school of national reputation, esoteric- associations and occupation specialism. And finally, you can somehow distinguish those persons who have had some college experience from those who haven’t because even though they might be capable of expressing themselves with proficient grammaticality, the critical thinking skill is lacking in some respect.


  32. Fundamental objective of modern day academics isn’t predicated upon acquisition and recapitulation of fact but learning how to make fact live.


  33. @Fenty

    This is why your stake in the gound peg to DLP position exposes that actions should speak louder than words.


  34. BIMJIM and AC

    You know, I think you are both right.

    Bim’s comment stresses the honour of political life – and, yes, there are honourable men and it must not be supposed, as Fenty says, that people do other than their incompetent best.

    But AC – doubtless forged on the anvil of a variety of experiences as me also – recognizes the fickleness and self-interest of the electorate, an electorate which is quite capable of saying ‘Oh we are bored and want something different’ as it did (in my view) six years ago irrespective of (that magic word) performance. And clients are like that, and students are like that, and plumbers are like that, and people are like that. It is a statement about the human condition.

    I remember Miller saying once that we put people on pedestals and expect more of them than we should reasonably expect. The premise works for both governors and governed.


  35. What is leadership?

    What is vision?


  36. Today 23 February , 2014 , represents one year since the greatest political party in the Western Hemisphere , the Democratic Labour Party (DLP) was returned to office under the astute leadership of PM Freundel Jerome Stuart and his DLP team.

    This return to office occured at a time when the :

    BLP relentlessly campaigned from 2008….even to the extent that their BLP charlatans on this BU site were predicting Bees 29 seats Independents 1 seat !

    Petra (love a POLE) Wickham did another poll 48 hours before voting time ….in a crass attempt to try and confuse Bajans !

    Now here we are one year later

    The unions not on board with Mia ( bite a woman ) Mottley plan to destabalise the country !

    Owen Arthur not on board with Mia ( bite a woman ) Mottley plan about any eminent persons group !

    And rational thinking Barbadians not on board with Mia ( bite a woman ) Mottley plan to rise up against a lawfully elected government !

    Therefore, clearly telling the SOUCAYANT Mia Mottley…..to cah she A$$ !


  37. leadership is the abilty to tell the truth…but politicians and all people in general lived with the complexity of having to be fearful of consequences impacting on their lives from being truthful…….that is why president have spoke persons and speech writers,,,, to say what they meant to say, without the fear of being called liars ..well outside Nixon who was caught red handed with his hand in the cookie jar,……. getting the public to endorse or accept (truth) when it pertains for what is best for a country is herculean task… for e,g how many times have the rich been dismissive of paying more taxes ..even if said taxes go to help maybe building a school the cry is first NO… ,,,,,or how many times have a called to help the needy and poor being rejected because it calls for an effort by all to help,,,,,,,the truth is that reaching that side of utopia without looking at the pitfalls of ” truth:” is an elusive dream… not many have conquered for it comes with a price,, all we can hope for is sense of decency or commonality that is a reflection of goodness within a society and stop pretending that somewhere out there in this civilized world that there is Greater that is much Better,,,which means coming to grips with reality and avoid fooling ourselves,,,,,


  38. @ac

    Did you write the last comment all by your lonesome?


  39. why u ask..ac is a philosopher at heart ,,politicians is a” side thing” with a bit of philosophy injected,,,,,LOL do not confuse the two,,,


  40. AC

    Yes thankyou. Cf confessing to adultery (‘Never confess’). …..


  41. I am shocked that bajans who attend/attended Harrison College, Queens College, Comberemere, et al are not aware that they are mere high schools, very convenient foundations for higher academia and nothing more, the down side i believe for the students is that they are merely learning by rote, does not help them academically or analytically not even one little bit.


  42. Well Well

    What did they think they were? Mind, as for learning by rote they won’t find it much different at tertiary level.

    Note you referred to “students”. When I was a boy (yawn) we were simply called ‘pupils’. Now a five year old is a ‘student’ and they all ‘graduate’. Is that a good or bad thing I wonder?


  43. Ross….you are right about the then students being called pupils, i have no clue when the word morphed into students, and yes tertiary education does have a semblance of rote tutoring but it also depends on your major/minor and university you attend.

    In my mind graduation from an early age gives the student/pupil encouragement to excel as well as exceptional competing skills. One parent made the mistake of telling her daughter that each time she got honors throughout her grade school, she will receive an additional hundred dollars each year, it kept on until the mother was thankful for the Oliver program at Columbia University because by the age of 12 she got a scholarship, the mother was still unable to pay the additional funds she promised, so there is some method to the madness.


  44. Though it’s sad, I guess, that education should be about competition. What I find amusing in a way is the number of students who think that an ‘A’ is the only thing in life – whereupon they enter professional life and learn that it’s totally irrelevant as is, for the most part, what they’ve been studying for three years.

    But yes, nothing wrong with encouragement – though encouragement to ‘excel’ may yet result in fear, and fear of failure, as well as a sense that we are second rate and so not to be accounted. Whereas I suppose the job of an educator is to lift people up, create a sense of worth, not conditions which pull them down.


  45. Well Well | February 23, 2014 at 12:08 PM |

    I am shocked that bajans who attend/attended Harrison College, Queens College, Comberemere, et al are not aware that they are mere high schools,
    ………………………………………………………
    And suddenly you have tossed yourself into the pit of the unpopular. It is ok to attack politicians and AC,but suicidal to question the status of QC, HC or C.


  46. BB

    LOL you got that right. But Well Well is thin enough to take it. The wind will pass her by.


  47. @Colonel Buggy

    Why should we want to attack old scholars who promote their schools with pride? It happens all over the world where human beings are proud or should be about the institutions which define them.


  48. David

    Without disagreeing with the sense of what you just wrote (we should be proud of our school/university), don’t you think there’s a danger to our integrity if an institution – country, church, family, school, the Immigration Department – can be said to “define” us?


  49. @Ross

    All of our institutions define who WE are, think about it.
