Wonder who has advised MM to tone it down and try not to be any more stale by the time elections are called and which part of the three management teams that are in conflict and in play by the BLP managing which part of the BLP campaign has instructed that a gag order on Trevor Prescod?Maybe this video gives a hint of why it is a good idea to have him muzzled.

Bringing News and Opinions to the People
Only weak leaders would condone criminal minorities openly bribing them to destroy each other, because the minorities are well aware how weak and stupid black politicians are, this is a wicked act to expose worldwide, not to cover up, it disgusts me that black politicians aspiring to make it into the people’s parliament are so weak and susceptible to blackmail by these harassed criminal whites on the island.
grow a backbone and find a pair of balls in your weak ass lives, stand up for your people and for what is right for once, no one respects your weakness, if politicians are that weak before being elected, they will be even weaker as ministers, easily pushed around and stand idly by while the treasury and pension funds are robbed, as happened with the present useless, loitering government..
it disgusts me that black politicians aspiring to make it into the people’s parliament are so weak and susceptible to blackmail by these HALFASSED criminal whites on the island.
Question for Trevor Prescod, why hesitate to call the names especially if your are covered by parliamentary privilege? You always claim to be a man of the Black people and a pan Africanist right? Call the Rh name or shut the held up! Make Don Blackman proud of you man.
He said he would in time, he needs to call the names of all white blackmailers and extortionists who seek to interfere in the island’s elections, they have no right, they have done enough damage promoting and funding bribery and corruption, thefts from the majority population and crimes on the island that has destroyed the social fabric.
Is this an attempt to smear Trevor Prescod? It smacks of the nasty, vindictive, vicious outpourings of anonymous hate-campaigners that populate large art of Barbadian society. Trevor is bigger than all these people put together.
it is how minority whites operate, pay ministers and politicians to get rid of and destroy their own black people’s lives, then they get to control whoever is elected to parliament, it has worked for decades, now they are trying a new strategy to take away the parliament from black leaders, the black leaders spent decades giving them the money they needed, now all they need to control the parliament and population is the power.
Chickens finally coming home to roost for politicians and ministers who sold-out their own people over the decades, they are about to be thrown out of parliament, if they dont kill this shit before it grows.
Chupse, he could really stop race-baiting.
Where is MoneyB to defend this, he did say extortion and bribery/corruption was prevalent between politicians/ministers and minority business people and he should now, he is Cajan white and tucked away safely in Toronto.
autocorrect is killing me..
…and he should know, he said it multiple times over the years on BU, MoneyB that is , he is Bajan white and tucked away safely in Toronto.
Kevin…you thought yall were going to get outta this unscathed, oh yeah?
Who is ‘you all’; and get out of what unscathed?
Who is race baiting?
call some names.
I meant that Prescod is race-baiting.
And you know this how?
From what he said there in Parliament.
oh, from what he said in parliament, so he is lying then, although the whole population knows because they have lived it for decades, that this bribery/extortion/corruption is a fact of life and common practice between minority whites and politicians/ministers before and throughout each and every election cycle…bizzy said so himself….
so you are saying we are all too stupid to differentiate between the decades old normal practice of corruption, interference in election and destruction on the island by minority whites ……and race baiting….good luck with that.
Both parties received campaign financing from businesses and well off individuals for decades as you said. Why is he and BU now raising it. We all know which party most white Bajans align themselves too.
Prescod is duty bound to the people to call the name(s) of these local and/or foreign whites who are hellbent on keeping the majority population in the 18th century, using bribery and extortion tactics on black politicians for their own financial again, enough is enough.
Ok yes, well as David said earlier, he should of named names. Other than that he’s just race-baiting to me.
Hence the reason that nasty practice of bribery/extortion of politicians and ministers during each election by minorities to access the treasury, taxpayer funded contracts and the pensioners money has to end, no matter which party is in power that corrupt arrangement never benefits the majority population….even after all these decades…Kevin….this is the end.
We have been talking about it in BU for the 5 or 6 yeas I have been on, others long before that, it is not a new topic.
That “race-baiting” sounds like your default excuse, you know like the other fallback default excuse…”Well, Well is a racist.”
no one likes to give up free money especially when it’s pouring in my the millions and all ya gotta do is tell some dumb ministers some well devised lies, pad and inflate costs and lay in ya bed each night and come up with the next scam to present to weak ministers, that dont’ sound like race baiting to me, that sounds like free money…if ministers are stupid enough to give it to ya.
I can’t let ministers escape in this…at all.
no one likes to give up free money especially when it’s pouring in my the millions and all ya gotta do is tell some dumb ministers some well devised lies, pad and inflate costs ….GIVE THE GREEDY MINISTERS THEIR CUT/KICKBACK and lay in ya bed each night and come up with the next scam to present to weak ministers…OWNED BY MINORITIES.
Ya see the problem now, ah know yall dont think ya doing anything wrong because you are not the one being robbed….the majority population are…but ALL OF YOU SHOUD BE IN PRISON……you are thieves, with no conscience.
@Kevin April 14, 2018 8:46 PM “We all know which party most white Bajans align themselves too.”

Gimmee the evidence man!

Tut-tut.
Not nice.
Not nice at all.

seems to me the arrogance of Parliamentarians has spread across the floor. How are two Ministers, by definition members of the DLP, supposed to ‘get rid of’ an Opposition MP? And that he Prescod is of such value that anybody of any colour, would fund an entire campaign just to get rid of him? Sounds like a great rum shop story though…..can you see Jonesy and Pornville telling Prescod at a party with nuff drinks “Pressie, why you doan quit? You know that XXX promise we, effin we could get rid of you he would fund we entire campaign. We could even arrange a little sumting fah yah.”
Lord almighty, and they claim the black man has evolved? Not from looking at that simian in a suit. It seems that Barbados’ Parliamentarians have regressed to the ANC style of Bandar-Log.

CORRECT CORRECTION: “We all know which party most white Bajans align themselves WITH.”
If wunnah gine be pedantic, wunnah better be right or thought Simple. The statement is BS anyway.
Some want to introduce the race card into proceedings, what we have here is a need to manage campaign financing. Those with money contribute to both DLP and BLP. Have we not been accusing Bjerkham and Maloney et al of financing the DLP?
And my autocorrect spells words any how it damn well feels.
Now it’s Dumbville and idiot Jones making up stories to fool Prescod? ….in someone else’s ….Northern’s mind? …sounds like another default excuse, and only certain people on here are jumping out with these fantasies and excuses, fully expecting sensible people to believe their fairytales over what Prescott is saying…oh really?…..ah guess yall were not expecting ya turn to come so quickly and unexpectedly…after so many decades of being vicious criminals and getting away with it, but what goes around comes back around harder..
…..yall dont know when ya have lost the power to convince black people to turn on each other, ya have gotten away with engineering and then reverse engineering those tactics for so long…..which makes it much easier to get you parasites out of the lives of the majority population in this era..
As disgusting and repulsive as these sell out ministers are, although they turn on their own people, although they have weak slave mentalities, this is not the time to protect greedy whites who are selfish and self absorbed…and even they in their weak house negro states should have recognized this by now with all that is coming down, unless they want what’s coming to befall them as well..
….more the reason to expose the names of the white maggots who have fed off the lives of the majority population for decades, for far too long and are now trying to continue to disrupt the people’s parliament using bribery and extortion, expose who they are and stop their wicked activities against the people on the island once and for all..
…. call in the right agencies to end their reign of funding their now internationally known criminal activities on the island and bribing government officials to escape consequences and the law while stealing hundreds of millions from the people and island, they arè nobodies, merely criminals who are legends in their own minds only.
This is the best time, best opportunity to rid the people and island of these white shadow cockroaches hiding in the background acting as a separate unofficial government outside of the control of parliament, but still using the parliament to steal from the majority population, end this once and for all..
..the majority population on the island don’t need any of them to survive…they are parasites.
Playing fast and loose with illegal campaign financing, playing off both political parties against the other for maximum benefits, millions in financial gains, greed and selfishness for decades on end….was bound to backfire one day for the minorities who practiced it…nothing lasts forever…
Dont mind the idiots, this is about getting rid of parasites out of the people’s lives, parasites who are now being investigated for criminal activities in who knows how many other jurisdictions.
…in order to clean up the islands now horrible reputation, you have to excise the whites AND OTHERS who are generating this shame and disgrace from the people’s parliament,..the ministers and politicians who want to keep hanging on to them, hanging on to corrupt practices, will also deserve what they get, i just want to be around to see them all get it.
Well Well Wot An Iggorasnt Racist I is proves the point every time it spews its white hating bile. I expect it’s jealous because no-one invited it to be a yardfowl, despite its obvious credentials for the position. Wulluss.
IQ45…it must be disheartening to yall to be exposed to the world as frauds and criminals though, I wont know, I never had the experience, but I can just imagine how yall feel.
not even the house negros of parliament want to be aligned with yall anymore, it’s one thing to take ya bribes and allow ya to thief from the people, it’s quite another animal to go to prison with and for you…in another jurisdiction.
Yall must be crushed, not that I have any sympathy, mind you..
In case you still dont understand, let me spell it out then….ya own house negros do not plan to go to prison neither WITH nor FOR any of yall…ya aint that great…
….me entiendes ahora?
I rest my case!!
Don’t get ahead of yourself, you will have all the opportunities that are available to criminals to rest ya case pretty soon, just time.
In the meantime, should Mia choose to do right by her people and cut the minorities loose out of the election campaign bribing tactic completely and just have them vote like normal people do and not bribe her and her candidates to be able to continue their crimes against bajans….maybe she will not also find herself and her government on any international radars…if they are elected. ..like this current loitering government and its ministers now find themselves.
What do you think about that one?
Remember, before you answer me and act like this is all MY FAULT …I was NOT even living on the island for well over a decade when yall got up to all that well known corruption. ..so stay focused.
…..yall are the ones who got on here …about 3 of you…and said Mia/BLP takes the most bribe money in the form of campaign financing from minorities, naturally it’s because minorities get more privilege to do as they like, thief even more, fund more criminal activities, have a larger playground, so the BLP is a more accomodating government according to what yall said, or yall wont have said anything..not that anyway, read your own posts again,
….so how much more accomodating to minorities who are under investigation will either government be with the stain of international money laundering and other criminal activities attaching itself to them also, because of local and foreign business minorities.
“…..…..yall are the ones who got on here …about 3 of you…and said Mia/BLP takes the most bribe money in the form of campaign financing from minorities…….read your own posts again,”
Why don’t you quote me? You will find that difficult as I have never, ever said any such thing.
I left Barbados 38 years ago, when it was still paradise, and as a citizen of what was once the jewel in the crown of the Caribbean, have watched with despair while cretins like you with your hatred, racism, thieving and ignorance have all but destroyed what was gifted to you in 1966. Just like SA where you worship thuggesses, and Zimbabwe, where doubtless you applaud Mad Bob the genocidal maniac.
IQ45ignorant…none of those countries belong to you or your ilk….you are not the majority in any of them, ya should have stayed where ya are the majority in number and DICTATE TO THEM…but you were and are a nobody in white majority countries, just another number, not even considered white, not acknowledged or even looked at, not even wirthspitting on, totally invisible, you would not dare open ya mouth to those real, real white beasts and criminals…now would you.
So stay out of Africa’s business and know your place as a minority in Barbados, ya will feel much happier, or ya can try joining the gang of racists and thugs in the US and other white countries, calling to recreate another vile, criminal rhodesia in Zimbabwe and see what you get….we will definitely be rid of ya asses for sure then, the people of Zimbabe and South Africa are waiting for yall, the Africans await…and they are nothing like the weak, easily bribed politicians in Barbados…, so go right ahead, with my blessing of course.
The crap yall did on the island for centuries has run its course, just as it ran its course in South Africa and Zimbabwe and across Africa…now yall cant go back there acting up, ya did enough, but in the last 30 years on the island, yall out did yall selves with crimes and corruption and would now like to blame it all, your actions, on corrupt politicians…as they rightfully deserve, but the money trail, the paper trail will tell the whole story….and they are investigators that are worse than bloodhounds in existence, , who can sniff out any hidden, laundered money and criminal activities anywhere.
..so dont come here playing all innocent as is the norm with you criminals, blaming black people for yall own crimes..that too is over.
I was born at night, not last night.
In a few weeks time the political career of Trevor Prescod will be history !

Trevor Prescod like a drowning man grasping at straws. The evidence lies in the fact he cannot call the accusers by name.
The blp continue to sink to the low of lows now even to the point of distributing fake news in parliament. How distrubing
Mariposa…”How distrubing”
You are disturbingly ignorant.
We are all ignorant. Every election cycle we stoke the race debate. Yet the two main political parties benefit from the money coming from the same so-called white shadows. We will never learn.
Well Well Wot An Iggorant Racist Monkey I Is – you are entirely mad. You should be in Jenkins.
All the talk and displays of various levels of ignorance. …there are those who cannot sleep comfortably these nights, because they know, but would like to pretend not, that they are ALL under a microscope.
Ah just hope when it all comes crashing down that not only the bribing white shadows but their bribetaking black enablers….all serve some time in a prison somewhere, preferably off island, it will make their lives much more interesting…preferably all in the same cell block next to each other…they can then blame each other for their criminal activities all day long…what a vision.
I usually get my deseos.
@NorthernObserver April 15, 2018 2:34 AM “Sounds like a great rum shop story though…can you see Jonesy and Pornville telling Prescod at a party with nuff drinks…”
But, but, but Jonesey and Pornville don’t take strong drinks…you see the tum-tums on those guys? Any doctor who has not ordered them offa the storng drinks should be struck off.
I found the following article and the associated comments very interesting.
Antiguans agree with their PM that the unemployed non-nationals should return to their country of birth because “were creating an unnecessary burden for the country” and noted “he’s had requests by some immigrants who are not working but still want to bring their family members to live with them.”
“You’re not working, you’re not a citizen, how you can justify bringing in another member? And they have the type of aggression that they push parliamentarians to get the extension of time or to get a permit. Going forward we want to see some level of self-regulation. Even those who come here and are not working . . . go back home. Why stay here and create problems for the country?”
But Barbadians are a bit more accommodating and would label people expressing similar sentiments as being “xenophobic.”
https://antiguanewsroom.com/news/go-back-home-pm-tells-unemployed-caricom-nationals/
I agree with Gaston Browne’s suggestion that “monitoring of migrants on the island has to improve.”
I have often mentioned in this forum that several illegal Guyanese and Jamaicans have been illegally building stalls on the old Fairchild Street compound………selling food and alcoholic beverages without the mandatory health certificates and liquor licenses.
You can find several scantily dressed Jamaican women offering their “wares” for sale on Jemmotts Land and Bay Street or in the clubs in Nelson Street.
Several Guyanese can be found selling vegetables in front of the Cheapside Market, while Barbadians have to pay for market space inside the market.
And we know of instances where illegal non-nationals are squatting at Rock Hall, St. Philip and securing “house spots” for their relatives and friends.
But what is annoying is when you read their on-line papers, these people always have negative things to say about Barbados and wish for the island’s demise………….
……………yet they come here in droves, believing it’s their right to come to Barbados to do as they please.
What is the usual response of Barbadians……….”Bajans went to Guyana in the early days.”
So what!!!!!
I have been asking what are the immigration policies of these new political parties.
@45govt April 15, 2018 3:22 AM “If wunnah gine be pedantic, wunnah better be right or thought…”
What are you trying to say? Your statement does not make sense.
You are quite right David – it is no different in the UK, where race-replacement is promoted by all the main parties with no regard whatever for the interests or wishes of the indigenous population. The difference there is that it is virtue-signalling, and the hope of a place at the Great Eurotrough in that most corrupt of places, Brussels, rather than direct bribery as in Barbados. The additional problem in B’dos is no stigma attaches to the receiving of bribes, quite the contrary.
@45govt April 15, 2018 2:51 AM “Lord almighty, and they claim the black man has evolved? Not from looking at that simian in a suit.”
Dear David: You must make 45govt apologize. You should not let him get away with calling a fellow human being an animal.

I wont miss this shit show for anything, they will still hide and take a bribe here and there before election, even if they have to sue each other to make it look real good, but we are sure to hear about it….and them.
Trevor Prescod has always been a political gangster operating under the rubric of Pan-Africanism but as a practical matter he has never been any different than the worst of politicians.
At least his mentor, Don Blackman, had the good sense to demit office once he recognized that the duopoly was incapable of delivering any transformation at all.
Anybody who has had direct dealings with this one Prescod would well know that there is no difference at all between him and what Don Blackman first called ‘White Shadows’.
Even Blackman’s resignation and events thereafter, and before, sadly point in that same direction.
Anybody who always has, even in his sleep apparently, a smile on his face must be either a ‘smart’ man, a conman or a crook.
We see a guillotine as an indispensable instrument for social, political and economic transformation!
@45govt April 15, 2018 6:26 AM “I left Barbados 38 years ago, when it was still paradise…what was gifted to you in 1966. ”
Thanks for leaving. Please do not come back. We can do without your racism and your ignorance and your hate.
And do stop telling lies. Barbados was not gifted to us. If Barbados was a paradise in 1980, it was the labour and decency, and honesty of black and some white Barbadians who had made it so.
And Barbados was no gift. How can you call it a gift when my ancestors, my grandparents, my parents, me, and my children have worked so hard and so well to create the country that you regarded as a paradise? That paradise–according to you–did not happen by accident. Generations of black Barbadians by their labour, their blood, their sweat and their tears created what you found to be paradisal and which you now revile.
And since it was a paradise why did you leave? Nobody leaves leave paradise. Never heard of such a thing before.
We are sorry that you are sick. We are sorry to hear that you are dying. But when you moved to the rich people’s country you should have restrained your appetites. There was no need to eat like a hog, there was no need to drink like a drunken sailor, and so destroy your body.
it is your own fault that long before you are three score and ten you have destroyed your own body.
Get lost.

Is it you or is it the Antiguan PM who is being disingenuous? Of course people want their families with them. That is entirely NATURAL human behaviour. Do you like to live without your wife or girlfriend? Do you like to live without your children? Do you like not being ale to see your elderly parents for decades at a time?
Well the Antiguan PM is a bright fella, and so are you. He asked to be elected, nobody forced him ito political office. Now he has to man up and manage human behaviour in a humane way.
That’s what leadership is. If a man desires political office he has tobe prepared to work, smart, work hard and work humanely ALL OF THE TIME.
P.S. I have been unemployed thrice for some months and at those times I definitely wanted my family to remain with me. What sort of person separates from family just because they have no money? Was I supposed to put my children in an orphanage just because i had no job?
“Dear David: You must make 45govt apologize. You should not let him get away with calling a fellow human being an animal.”
You may consider yourself on a par with Mr Prescod, and I feel sorry for you for labouring under that lack of self-esteem. As one of my very religious clerks once said to me in a discussion of evolution, “Mr 45govt YOU may come from de monkeys, but not me!”
@Artax April 15, 2018 7:32 AM “You can find several scantily dressed Jamaican women offering their “wares” for sale on Jemmotts Land and Bay Street or in the clubs in Nelson Street.”

Bajan men like you, not so?
45 govt nothing you say is of any significant concern to me. The blp has lost its soul Trevor Prescod is part of that brand trying to distribute fake news to solicit votes. Where was his mouthings on the topic of white shadows.years ago .Now all of a sudden he finds the intestinal fortitude to speak on the subject without producing evidence.
As for you “45govt” something about your moniker reminds me of the sleeze ball Donald trump aka as 45. How distrubing

I agree with you here, except that I would add I would like to see the immigration policies of all of the political parties. Immigration policy must be well thought out, discussed, and then FAIRLY and SENSIBLY implemented.
Where is the DLP on this? An excellent immigration policy is more than “ever so welcome wait for a call?”
Where is the BLP on this?
Where are all of the others on this?
Simple… when ya ignorant, IQ45 happens, these delusional clowns who put no country or island anywhere, still believe they own countries and islands and gave them away as gifts, still believe they have a right to say what should happen in BLACK MAJORITY AFRICA….a continent with 52 or 54 mostly very large countries, larger than anything found in the west, still feel they have a right to do and say as they like in a majority black island, earned by the blood, sweat, tears and deaths of multiple ancestors…that is the true definitionf ignorance/lack of knowledge. …or just plain brainwash stupidity handed down from the brutish british.
“We see a guillotine as an indispensable instrument for social, political and economic transformation!”
I hear that, much preferable, apparently black politicians are unaware just how tiresome they have become.
They better get that power to recall governments and rogue ministers legislation into law as soon as one of them is elected, so far none of them are pledging such legislation. …more the reason to break up all those political parties into a coalition cabinet…..everybody want to be a faux king and faux dictator to continue being corrupt.

I’ll allow your April 15, 2018 8:11 AM comment go over my head.
@Well Well & Cut N’ Paste At Your Service April 15, 2018 7:41 AM “Simple…yardfowls are having a fit, supporters of thieves are making up all kinds of stories, the thieves are trying to take over parliament and kick out their bribees/politicians to get some diplomatic immunity”
Everybody should be aware that diplomatic immunity does not last forever. It comes to an end. And “bagmen” should be aware that they do NOT have diplomatic immunity. Travelling with your Minister does not grant you diplomatic immunity as a “bagman” from the Eastern Caribbean discovered when travelling with his Minister. The “bagman” was arrested while the Minister went ‘long on his happy way. A spell in a foreign jail disabused the “bagman” of the notion that he had diplomatic immunity.
So useful if some who do not have anything useful to add to the discussion to just read until they do.
Bagmen and outside women need to be mindful of this. While the Minister’s legal/paper wife enjoys diplomatic immunity, the same does not apply to outside women, nor does it apply to outside children whose father’s names are not on their birth certificates.
Another famous fool delivered a similar rant on the floor of parliament regarding his life being threatened. Like this rant, no names were forthcoming and like this rant, we will probably never hear another spoken word about the alleged incident. Can you imagine the life of a minister of government being threatened and narry a word or follow up by the police?
As far as calling a name under the protection of Parliament is concerned, that opportunity has long since gone as the King of Clowns allowed Parliament to dissolve in his imbecilic attempt at creating history, a history that will be very unkind to him unless written by the historian managing the campaign.
On a minor note of major importance to me is Mr Prescod’s presentation skills – more suited to another place than the highest platform of debate in the land and where was once a place of honor.
Ah guess those ministers now loitering under diplomatic immunity will find out soon enough….less than 60 days…that it ends and they will not be able to hide under that umbrella anymore….that should give us a peek and bird’s eye view into what happens when you no longer have diplomatic immunity, I will not miss that one either..
Fear Play April 15, 2018 8:37 AM
Presentation skill? Explain yourself.
When I first saw the clip I thought it was Estwick carrying on in his usual fisher woman’s fashion…..it took a minute to realize it was what’s his face…..he is now bound to call those names because he said 2 ministers told him this..
…..it is not the 60s, 70s and 80s where past and present yardfowls sit with their mouths open and dont question and demand those names or name….
“The blp has lost its soul Trevor Prescod is part of that brand trying to distribute fake news to solicit votes.”
Mariposa
A similar observation could be made of several DLP parliamentarians as being “part of that brand trying to distribute fake news to solicit votes,” as well.
I’m sure you’ll agree that Christopher Sinckler is one of the most “notorious liars” ever to walk the halls of parliament.
Surely you remember on the eve of the 2013 general elections, Sinckler told parliament he was informed by police that two men were overheard planning to assassinate him. And after lambasting Mottley for exposing one of his lies, he subsequently called “Brass Tacks” to offer an apology.
But we cannot forget when the Central Bank, IMF and Standard & Poor reports that government economic policies have failed to achieve the desired objectives…….Sinckler was still attempting to convince Barbadians his policies were working.
@FearPlay, your remark that “… Mr Prescod’s presentation skills – more suited to another place than the highest platform of debate in the land and where was once a place of honor” is rather amusing and disingenuous (unintentionally so, I expect).
Yours is an imbalanced view of the debate in the House of Assembly…dont equate ‘presentation skills’ therein and ‘honor’…
…What honour is there from Parliament since the days of EWB and JMGMA’ (when I started paying attention) and their fellow parlimentarians’ harsh rhetoric which OFTEN led to threats that if the person repeated the remarks outside parliament they would be sued
In what context does a person feel so aggrieved by HONORABLE words and behaviour to threaten legal action ! 🤔
So it’s amusing that you condemn Prescod”s combattive style as dishonorable when in fact the HoA has been a den of dishonourable behaviour for donkey years…
@Mr Blogmaster, yes there are basic staples of political warfare that always generate interest…race as you highlighted and of course, sex.
So I suspect the white shadows will continue to excite us even tho we know it’s contrived…just as we will hear about who horn who, who bites what body parts and likely rediscover the good ole Bajan term bootsie! (Hopefully for tourism sake, like the internet burned on the word ‘kakistocracy’ [govt by worst people] last week. One can hope, right😊)
The Pacha spoke of Don Blackman’s white shadows rants [back in ’86] but of course the beauty of that (as is now) is that the DLP then had one of the freaking biggest local white executives as a Barrow confederate…
…like a game of circus fun-house mirrors: the image changes depending on which side of your mouth you flap…Prescod is simply having his turn at the circus routine!
https://i.imgur.com/o27nltL.jpg
Pacha…..this is so sorely needed in Barbados, Caribbean and most countries, there is only so much of the corruption you can take before something HAS to give.
What kind of politicians do BU bloggers want|? The majority reject Natalee on the basis of her history, even though the Christian faith to which many claim to belong preaches redemption.
Now they turn their venom on Trevor Prescod, a man who identifies with the down trodden, the impoverished, the marginalised, a man who speaks with dynamism and verve.
One does not have to agree with everything he says, but he certainly deserves his place at the top table. As to people of influence, it would be naïve to suggest that there are not communities n Barbados, publicly removed from the political process, yet have as much influence, if not more, than any organised black groups.
Is this not the implicit claim when we talk about corruption, especially including certain property developers and those who the NIS chooses to invest with?
Is this not implicit when we talk about certain people and groups who are above the law? Is this not what is meant when we claim that certain people get to hear the detail of government business before ministers and parliament? What is it that we really want?
Are we not attacking Trevor because he is not a lawyer and is an ordinary guy and not from a high-class family? BU must make up its mind what kind of society it wants, or do these keyboard warriors, most of them in the ante -chamber before meeting their master, just want to vent their bitterness and spite on anyone who crosses them?
Or, is it just another example of the Bajan crab mentality meant to pull down a parliamentary candidate who is popular with his constituents?
I am sure their equally corrupt bribers took a free bullet to the head also, the Chinese will never leave it unfinished….ya fix the problem completely and do not leave it to fester and give birth again, cut off ALL the heads.
oh…I thought the heading had come…the Chinese government executed 26 politicians in one fell swoop….for corruption, in the above photo, as I said am sure their partners in crime, the business people, were also executed, to send a loud message..
Well Well
Few recognize the levels of corruption in our world
Corruption makes notions of democracy quaint, at best
Only the sunlight of popular power, on a daily basis, can stymie this
The system of government capitalism in China sometimes makes an effort but they merely scratch the surface.
In the West we are way too tolerate of official corruption.
Vested interests have no fear of their publics
@Pacha
Two academics from Cave Hill coincidentally are discussing the issue of vote buying and corruption in Barbados. The issue is wider than race.
@Hal, you sir need to deal with YOUR own demons and stop projecting them to BU bloggers, fah real!
Apart from the tired twists on race, unnecessarily caustic ad hominem and some unbridled misantrophy which come from the same sources on every subject where did you get the perspective here that…..”… we [are] attacking Trevor because he is not a lawyer and is an ordinary guy and not from a high-class family? ” or the equally grand over blown “…Or, is it just another example of the Bajan crab mentality meant to pull down a parliamentary candidate who is popular with his constituents?”.
Reality check: This is election season and in ALL such places every word from a politician – particularly the most vocal and popular – will be examined and hypa-ventilated to create favor or disfavor. That’s as basic as drawing breath every day.
Why come here because of your friendship with Prescod to spew such undiluted biased verbiage.. he is a politician and a big boy , he signed up for this and surely gives as well as he gets. Just saying!
“In the West we are way too tolerate of official corruption.”
Exactly…the dumbest among us, the yardfowls, believe their respective political masters being corrupt is cute, no matter that the corrupt practices leave them and their progeny in poverty for decades….dumb is dumb…
the west is too careless and lackadaisical and should follow the Asian template re corrupt politicians, just a matter of time before a request surfaces, when it has reached boiling point, which is now..
My friendships are based on principles. Trevor has shown sound principles. By the way, when did I mention race?
@Well Well & Cut N’ Paste At Your Service April 15, 2018 9:00 AM “When I first saw the clip I thought it was Estwick carrying on in his usual fisher woman’s fashion”
Don’t call the women name in this.
You know very well as a woman that female behaviour is always exemplary.

Glad to see that the Ivy guys standing up for one another.
@de pedantic Dribbler April 15, 2018 10:38 AM ” he is a politician and a big boy, he signed up for this and surely gives as well as he gets.”
Good.
True.
@Hal, I don’t intend to be impolite or disrespectfully but for a man who had a profession in journalism and as an editor too I am sometimes COMPLETELY dumbfounded and bewildered by your remarks, for example , “By the way, when did I mention race?”
I can only imagine that you read my post quickly and did not properly take in what was said because in no context were my remarks which included the race reference attributed to you…it was merely part of the intro to the point of that sentence….(aparrently poorly written on my part, alas).
And this is where I am not intending to be overly disrespectfully, but too MANY of your posts here are representative of that careless and indeed callous disregard for what is being actually said…maybe it’s only me but boy you can be incoherent for a man of your background. Others I can understand …but YOU a former journo.
I was going to take you up on the remark on the Jeff blog re the car registration, as your example blew me away again a somewhat callous disregard for clarity and tone…. but not me and that…you may start to think I am trolling you or something. I gone, hear!
lol…Estwick’s trademark fisherman’s behaviour..lol
Well Well, I reach here now. The fact is that the Politicians in Bim have EXTORTED $$$$$$ from Whites and others for a very long time. NO need to remind wunna of what the Customs people do or why they are living in 5-6000 sq ft homes in Beverley Hills , formerly Shop Hill, among other locations. None of them give a RODENTS RECTUM for other Black Bajans, there are their with the objective of their very own Net Worth Enhancement. Having reminded of these facts, I understand the the Jada boys are pushing hard to retain their political pals, the DEMonic Larceny Party! This is all about CORRUPTION not RACE! Wunna know full well that these parasites dont give a RH for anybody but themselves. The DLP has been subpar since the Dippa and Cammie departed.The partry should have been buried wid dem so.
MoneyB…someone told you I was asking for you, ya got here real fast, hahaha
That is why I quoted you, I knew you would not be shy about sharing information about the corrupt extortion/extortee/briber/bribee relationship between politicians of both political parties and minority business people.
But moneyB…no minister of government or politician can extort anything from me, there is more than enough blame to share between extorted and extorter…they both love that game of corruption or the whites would have put an end to it 3 decades ago, so there is no excuse in being just as corrupt as your garden variety politician or minister at the expense of the majority population, just look at what ALL of them are getting now.
As much as we would love to keep race out of it, it’s the majority black population suffer because of these criminal relationships, rarely the few white minorities on the island feel hardship, so basically it’s because of the greedy actions of the goats loitering outside parliament doors and won’t leave and the goats waiting to get in…..there is now a level of unsustainable hardship on the people as a whole and felt mostly by the majority…combined with the total mismanagement of the economy for 10 years..
Caswell will be pleased to hear that UWI, CAVE HILL academic Barrow-Giles agrees with him that there have been obvious breeches in the electoral system by political parties with no action by the government agency responsible.
I have seen some civil servants with very impressive properties on the island, only to hear that is #3 of 5 properties owned etc…they have done well…
.I should explain what I said, the reason why no minister, politician or lawyer on the island can ever extort me, is because I am always wired for sound and that’s because of dishonest lawyers, so there is no way I will meet with any of those three individuals and dont be wired, I send the lawyers a copy of any recordings after, because they lie too much and I want no part of their corrupt practices.
You never meet with those whom you know are corrupt, without being wired for sound, everyone else you give respect, but not those who are corrupt.
“I understand the the Jada boys are pushing hard to retain their political pals, the DEMonic Larceny Party!”
They got a lot to lose, as you know well enough, the quickest people to go broke are the dishonest ones who present themselves as millionaires, magnets and moguls… there is a movement afoot to make sure they lose their house slaves, wreck that one way gravy train, it is time.
ah can’t wait for June.
Let me put it another way see if it generates feedback:
Would Maloney, Cow, Bjerkham, Tempro, Harris, Parris and all those known to engage in corrupt dealings on the island with politicians and members of parliament still feel entitled to commit these acts against the people had the population been 280,000 WHITE people instead of 280,000 BLACK people…remember yall are saying it has nothing to do with race….
so hypothetically imagine the minority population being 7,500 Black people instead of 260,000 people, imagine how that would play out…tell me who would be controlling the economy, parliament and tell me how many blacks you see in the 7,500 minority population of blacks controlling white ministers, all the businesses or controlling anything, with a white controlled parliament.
….so would they all still feel comfortable committing these corrupt crimes without fear and feeling there would be no consequences in that hypothetically setting ?
….a simple question….yes or no
Left out one, gotta flight the script sometimes, look at other angles, keep the brain engaged..
Would Maloney, Cow, Bjerkham, Tempro, Harris, Parris, Bizzy and all those known to engage in corrupt dealings on the island????????…..
Hal Austin @ 08…am “Presentation skill? Explain yourself.”
I see you agree with me and I stand chastised for being so loose with my description of what the good gentleman was doing. “Presentation Skills” indeed. More like a short “harangue”!
WW, the people voted for the MPs so they have the duty to rectify the corruption. Do U seriously believe that only whites pay off the Pols???????????? I am not condoning any of this behavior, I only pull you back a lil because U like to frame it as All Whiteys bad which is not true, and U know that.
What I have stated repeatedly is that we need a non partisan approach to solving Bim’s problems and charting the future. Investigate what other small island nations are doing successfully and adapt the ideas that make sense.
Hopefully the DLP wont be able to teeef this election as some say they did last time. When DEMs say “all is mine” we must retort “not dis time!”
So now that the script is flipped, I dont even see my regular detractors jumping out to attack, it’s an easy exercise, you just substitute one group of people for another….and imagine who will be in control..
imagine how many crimes a minority population of 7,500 black people would be allowed to get away with in a hypothetical majority population of 280,000 whites..who control the economy AND parliament
will 7,500 blacks be allowed to control white ministers and politicians, stop majority whites from progressing and owning ALL large and medium businesses….
ah made it easy for yardfowls to understand
when all of that is digested, I will tell you the reality in case some of you have a problem facing it.

I am afraid I am neither agreeing nor disagreeing. I simply wanted an explanation.
