The following was mailed to the Nation newspaper for publication by Chris Mchale the man the system loves to hate  .

MASSYS; NOT BARBADIAN, BUT TRINIDADIAN. FOR HEROS DAY, I WISH TO NOMINATE SIR ALLAN FIELDS WHO TAKES FULL CREDIT FOR PUTTING THE DEAL […]TOGETHER WHEREBY NEAL AND MASSEY BOUGHT OVER BARBADOS SHIPPING AND TRADING.

IT MAKES ME SICK TO MY HEART TO SEE MASSY EVERYWHERE IN BARBADOS.

A DEAL “FACILITATED” BY A SENIOR POLITICIAN WHO OFTEN EXPOUNDS ON HOW PROUD HE IS TO BE BARBADIAN ;

THAT DEAL WAS  AN INSULT; A SLAP IN THE FACE TO THOUSANDS OF BARBADIANS. OUR ROLLING FIELDS AND HILLS??…..OWNED BY TRINIDADIANS

A DEAL MADE WHEN BARBADIANS HAD MANY BILLIONS ON DEPOSIT  EARNING A PITTANCE IN INTEREST WITH FOREIGN OWNED AND CONTROLLED BANKS.

THAT INIQUITOUS DEAL  WIPED OUT DECADES OF BARBADIAN STRUGGLE AND WORK;  BY CAPITALIST,   MIDDLE,  AND WORKING CLASSES.

HANDED ON A PLATE FOR A PITTANCE  TO TRINIDAD.

WHAT SAY YOU SIR ALLAN?……ARE YOU ACTUALLY PROUD OF THAT DEAL?  REALLY?

SIR ALLAN;  YOU, A BARBADIAN,   A DIRECTOR OF CIBC FCIB;  CIBC …… WHO WONT PAY 1% TO BARBADIAN SAVERS, DEPOSITORS, PENSIONERS; WHO PRODUCE MIS-LEADING AUDITED FINSTATS;

BUT  CIBC WILL PAY 3.22% TO CIBC TORONTO HEAD OFFICE; USING OUR HARD EARNED FOREIGN CURRENCY; ON A  ONE BILLION  BARBADOS DOLLAR  “LOAN” THAT NEVER EVEN CAME IN TO BARBADOS AS FOREIGN EXCHANGE . REALLY!!!  YOU HAVE THOSE PEOPLE AT CENTRAL BANK WELL TRAINED TO KEEP QUIET.

I GUESS THE NATION WONT PRINT THIS AS SIR FRED GOLLOP IS ON THE BOARD OF CIBC AS WELL………………..AS CHAIRMAN OF THE NATION GROUP?…..

AND CIBC GENERATES A LOT OF ADVERTISING REVENUE FOR THE NATION?

VERY SINCERELY
