    Wait Onions….
    This woman got these children on her own?
    ….meanwhile what has become of the father(s)?

    When newspapers run around highlighting the plight of people who get themselves into trouble as if it is the government’s or general society’s fault ….what exactly are they trying to accomplish?

    How does it help to send the message that a woman can just be free and easy with herself …and somehow society OWES her a decent, comfortable living….

    Lotta shiite!!!

    Next, some PR seeking goody two shoes like Ross will run down to Fontabelle with some sardines and biscuits and smile for the cameras…
    …and some other young, mendicant, AC-grade, teenage girl will have an idea….

    Life is hard.
    If you plant corn you will reap corn like shiite….
    if you plant pimples ….”pimplers” in yuh ass…

    Why the hell does Barbados-Today and the NATION not write an article highlighting and SHAMING the wutless FATHER(S) of these eight children who planted the pimplers?
    Why not highlight the WRONG CHOICES this woman made that got her in this position…..so that a current 15 year-old now can LEARN from the experience?

    Why not highlight the help that she has been receiving from poor family, neighbors and friends who have (obviously) sustained her and her children so far…?

    WHY…?

    Because these papers has NO interest in Nation-building in Barbados…..Only in tearing down and taking us towards a Trickidadian-led “One Caribbean” shiite entity…..

    There is a way that SEEMS right to man, BUT the end thereof is the way of death….

    Suppose Fraudel had said yesterday in Parliament that he had these father’s names and that unless they took up their RESPONSIBILITIES to the mother and children immediately, he would not only expose the names, but ALSO have their asses arrested; their assets seized; and ALSO put them in a forced labour program where the wages then went to the children….?
    ….cause THAT is how Bushie would have addressed a situation like this….

    …and if yuh think Bushie won’t have called your name yuh lie like shiite….

    The notion that this DLP or any other described government of Barbados is carrying a deficit on its fiscal accounts is an entirely nonexistent, false and preposterous one.

    The fact is that there is no such thing that can reasonably represented by anyone anywhere as a fiscal deficit.

    A government of Barbados that hardly gets nominal income each year, and that therefore hardly has nominal expenditure for the same time, cannot for all intents and purposes when it hardly uses money, have a fiscal deficit.

    Worst, and what ultimately destroys this notion of there being a fiscal deficit of a government or a corporation is the fact that there is absolutely no connection between what is said by some people to be nominal income at any time, and what is said by the same people to be nominal expenditure at any time.

    The fact too that a fiscal deficit does not exist in real and practical terms (in logical and human behaviour terms), means that it is impossible for any one any time to even purport to measure it or express it in percentage terms of, say, GDP, another staggering falsehood.

    So, what total foolishness about the government of Barbados having a fiscal deficit, and what arrant stupidity about the government’s providing Estimates of Revenue and Expenditure.

    not surprised at that slimy response that bushshit.. gave about the lady who is seeking help in getting her out of her hell hole

    Not surprised at all bodes well with his mean cold heart !self centered !warped dictatorial maniacal leanings.
    this clown is unable to understand that this woman problems and others like hers can be attributed to other failures and more than that of “irresponsibility ” and maybe by telling her story one person might be able to direct her into a more favorable environment whereby she can access the necessary guidelines in helping her to become self sufficient and having a better life.
    the mere fact that she is reaching out says that she is seeking to make change,, however mr brassbowl sh,,t head only sees a woman who is a failure and her approach by media is nothing more than a way of seeking sympathy and not one of a person who believes that she has done all she can and now is pursing another avenue by which the help might be available in trying to improve her life and that of her siblings
    As usual Bushshi,,te pounce on the negative to prove nothing What a DORK!

    onions,

    Can you believe the nerve of the woman Mara Thompson? She wants a primary school in St John. From a government who is broke as hell.

    She has been left so much money which she will never spend. She does not spend money to even look the part. She can take up some of the thieving money in Families First account and build a school and name it after her beloved husband to see if that would take away some of the shame and disgrace he has left behind.

    To wait on this inept incompetent government, she would only end up with an unfinished building just like the polyclinic.

    Mara, the government of which you are a part has f’up this country so badly that it cannot even buy toilet paper for the QEH. Use some of the stolen loot and build the school, if you want one. Show some leadership, woman. After all, a old dlp yardfowl said on Brasstacks a few days ago that after your beloved husband died, the dlp should have made you the Prime Minister.

    That statement alone tells us what idiots we have in this country supporting the dlp. Any one wonders why we are in this mess?

    “Perhaps Mara and Jonesy could shoot two birds with one stone, by turning the ill-fated Polyclinic into a primary school”

    Colonel, I think your idiomatic saying is somewhat outdated and might attract the ire of the local chapter of the RSPB.
    You should have said “crack two skulls with one bullet”, to be really Jonesing.

    But what is all this talk about building new primary schools and constructing separate nurseries to be managed by the Ministry of Education?
    Isn’t Barbados supposed to be experiencing falling fertility and reproductive rates with the only group keeping the country’s population in a steady state being that of the growing Muslim communities?

    Why build new schools and nurseries in a fiscal environment where borrowing is becoming almost impossible? Can’t the existing primary school infrastructure be upgraded to accommodate nursery wings?
    Why not let the private sector explore the possibility of providing nursery and primary school offerings with incentives given to the operators and parents to go this route instead of depending on a fiscally haemorrhaging government as if the country is still in a 1950’s to 1970’s social birth setting?

    Onions, you mean to tell us that the Estimates debates are going to finish and the Appropriation bill passed and not a word going to be mention about the Four Seasons project that was touted over the last 4 years as the economic saviour of Bim?
    Is there money in the Estimates for a study to be conducted into the feasibility of returning the Sam Lord’s property from a bushy wilderness to its former glory to end up as consultancy fees in some professional pals pockets?

    What about the Sugar Point Cruise Ship terminal?
    What about the Pierhead marina?
    What about the WTE?
    Do you think your boy one-ball-coggy Estwick the neutered bulldog will bark about his co-generation sugar factory?

    BTW, OOB, have you seen the Estimates to find out how that fiscal deficit of $1.7 billion would be financed during 2015-2016?
    Oh, I forget the MoF and the Guv of the CB will soon be jetting off to the UK and North America on their usual road show looking for money the country doesn’t really need but just to keep in the bank for a rainy day only to return empty-handed to raid the NIS.

    If the PDC wants to be taken seriously as a political party, you need to stop advancing shiite arguments. If you transfer the amount of tripe you post on BU into the House of Assembly, you will not only confirm Owen Arthur’s comment relative to the “poor rakeyness” of parliament, but make Barbados the laughing stock of the world.

    From where do you get these “entirely nonexistent, false and preposterous” ideas? This is by far the worst contribution PDC has ever posted on BU.

    The key component that’s escaping the understanding of the PM is the lack of CONFIDENCE in him and his cabinet.Never in its history has Barbados been promised more and received so little.No surprise to the discerning among the population.Unfortunately for the Dems,the monied and investing class constitute neither votes nor influence among the rank and file support base of the party.

    ………………………………………………………………………………………….
    It would be interesting to learn if the new nursery at Church Hill, which Jones is bragging about, have had an impact study carried out before construction started, as this nursery is being built a stones throw away from the old metal dump, that long after its closure, has posed many a problem for nearby schools, residents and the Oistin community.

    Deficit
    2.14 Based on the information provided in the Financial Statements of the operations of Central Government, a deficit of $982.86 million was recorded for the financial year ended March 31, 2014. The deficit for the previous year was $826 million.

    The Net debt is another measure by which the financial performance of Government can be assessed. The Net debt equals all of Government’s liabilities less its financial assets. The non-financial assets of Government will not create any future returns that can repay liabilities so they are excluded from the analysis. These include assets such as highways and buildings which cannot be used directly to pay liabilities. The Net Debt was reported as $8.5 billion at March 31, 2014 and this was $1 billion more than the previous year. The maintenance of high Net Debt results in significant funds being required for debt servicing, thereby reducing Government’s ability to provide services, and limiting its options in adjusting to the financial challenges facing the country.
    Table 1
    Net Debt for 5 year period 2010-2014
    2010 2011 2012 2013 2014

    The above statement is by far the most set of nonsense I’ve ever seen the ACs post on BU. By making the above comments, the legion of demons has once again proven they are just a bunch of idiots, thinking that using a number of metaphors in their contributions is a sign of intelligence.

    When the auditor general makes his reports, his department would have already conducted a financial analysis on the findings and would present the information in a form that could be understood by users of the information. Any individual with the requisite knowledge in finance would also be in a position to interpret the data and provide the relevant explanations.

    Are they trying to insinuate that the Auditor General has a bias against the DLP and has been preparing his reports to make the government appear as though it is incompetent?

    Perhaps it is a bitter pill for them to swallow that this administration has been actually mismanaging the economy and must take responsibility.

    Because successive governments have chosen to ignore the Auditor General’s reports does not make the practice right. And I agree with you that the department should be given the necessary legal authorization to prosecute those civil servants who, once it has been proven, are involved in financial improprieties or misappropriation of funds belonging to the crown.

    The last time I checked, the Audit Department had vacancies for at least 33 employees. That department should have at least 10 individuals who are specially trained forensic accounting and fraud investigation, as well as a legal officer trained in financial law.

    Miller, why waste time with a group of individuals whose sole purpose on BU is to relentlessly defend the Democratic Labour Party, even if in doing such, they often display their stupidity.

    In a previous post to this article, they posted: “you guys comment on finances in the most retarded way”. Can you imagine this coming from the same set of individuals who made the following contribution:

    “ac February 10, 2015 at 7:11 AM #: Question Where were the JM managers between the years of 2004 and 2007 when Clico was failing to live up to their statutory arrangements , It is truly amazing how the JM seem to exempt self from their role of negligence in the Clico collapse but have used the Houdini method in pursuit of justice…”

    The above statement indicates that they have absolutely no knowledge of financial matters. Furthermore, it has shattered their creditability and any comments made by them on these issues should not be taken seriously.

    The Slide of the Barbados Economy Part II: Astonishing Revelation in Central Bank Report
    Posted on September 16, 2013 by David | 95 Comments
    Submitted by Inkwell

    In my recent submission The Slide of the Barbados Economy: Pictures Are Worth a Thousand Numbers highlighting the excessive spending of the government over the last five years, one of the questions I asked was “Where was the money spent and was it spent wisely? Further research produced the following chart which can be found at page 12 of the Central Bank June 2012 Press Release.
    CLICK IMAGE

    In the section headed Current Expenditure, we see four headings appearing for the first time in 2008/09 in a summary of Government operations, namely Grants to individuals, Grants to Public Institutions, Subscriptions & Contributions and Non-Profit Agencies. I am astonished that in the throes of a recession, Government can find money to give away and I would like the Government to let me know
    1. Who are the individuals who were “granted” $257.8 million in 2008/09, $278.4 million in 2009/10, $304.0 million in 2010/11 and $294.0 million in 2011/12, a total of $1,134.2 billion over the four year period?
