The two main political parties held national political meetings on the penultimate weekend BEFORE the May 24 General Election. After wading through much of the rhetoric and palaver three questions peaked the inquiring mind of the blogmaster. Hopefully they will be answered in the public interest BEFORE the general election.

  • Why the haste to sell the Barbados Hilton hotel BEFORE the 24 May 2018?
  • What is the involvement of the candidate for the City Henderson Williams?

Go to 3:00hr point on the YouTube video to listen to Mia prosecute the Hilton matter.

  • Will Mia Mottley respond to the Benedict Peters charge levelled by the DLP platform?

 

See pre-action protocol letter sent to Sinckler from lawyer Leslie Haynes on behalf of Benedict Peters.

    How is any manifesto to be taken seriously if it is not a social contract AND performance by both parties confirm a cherry picking of the promises to be implemented.

    Look miller the dlp went into their first year of goverence being told that barbados was running on all four cylinders and the foreign reserves had reached their desired levels with the economy holding a billion surplus in financial support
    Sound good on paper but what was not expected by govt was a high level of debt which for all purposes eroded much of the gains and govt having to depend on populace to make sacrifice in order to pay the external as well as internal
    Yes the govt did lay out a plan as given the financial statictics of the period going into 2008 which by all means shown a healthy economy
    Now i rather not remind all and sundry as to how barbados economy was also hit by the financial global meltdown which is on record for all to see.
    Now in 2018 we are where we are looking for a better or alternative solution to tackling barbados debt
    However no one in their wildest dreams would have expected that the blp opposition lead by Mia mottley would use a fiscal pork barrell strategy to lie and deceive the public all in the name of getting votes knowning full well that barbados high debt cannot absorb the kind of election giveaways she proposes
    Yes it is not as if she does not know of barbados debt problem but for Mia to take the electorate along a course of furthering the economic stress of barbados economy is blasphemy.
    All of what she knows and states in her manifesto most of which are boldfaced lies and the type of election engineering to fool the people mind exposes her character and the need for desperation to what she belives is a privilege to entitlement

    Looks like everyone from DBLP gotta now go back to the drawing board and come up with more lies and snitching on each other about which of the 2 political parties stole what from the citizens while in government, to convince the electorate to vote for the political party who is trying to project that they stole the less over the last 10 cycles = 52 years of both parties governance combined…what a thing..

    I could not agree with you more, David.

    After all that Stuart and the dems did to him in 2013…….after he helped Fumble to remain leader by not siding with the gang of 11…….he took a private note passed between the two of them and exposed OSA’s hatred for MAM……OSA lost in 2013…….so that was good until the Stinkliar was trying to get help last year and then Fumble who is said to be very spiteful got his ultimate revenge on OSA by publicly humiliating him by not allowing Stinkliar to give OSA the pick as Head of the Advisory Council on Economics.

    Every way I go, I hear people cussing OSA every time he opens his mouth………..I am so over him and so disappointed in the way he has treated the party which made him.

    No wonder Billie Miller is taking to the platform this week!

    I had tremendous respect for Owen Arthur since the early 80’s when he lectured on the Hill and am sure he still has the interest of this country at heart however I think he should withdraw from this political brouhaha which the desperate Dems are manufacturing for him to fight their perceived war with the highly intelligent leader of the Bdos Labour Party.We understand Stuart’s dilemma.His very poor management of the country’s resources human and material and worse of all the very likely prospect that his legacy will be that of the first sitting prime minister being soundly beaten by a woman.

    Indeed, we shall be looking

    They best option would be to also indict the DLP and its leader on even more profound charges.

    But that maybe a bridge too far.

    We would not suggest attempting to answer these charges.

    That is what the DLP wants

    But not to answer, also surrenders ground. And the arrows will not stop coming.

    The BLP is conducting a well organised campaign.

    They told Barbadians to wait, the election would come……Fumble had all the cards……though the date was not so secret as I was told that he had the date circled on his desk calendar……so for them to be so disorganised is astonishing…..though just like every thing they have done, they messed this election call badly.

    So there is no need for MAM and the BLP to answer the Stinkliar or Fumbles…….people dont want to hear a word from these two……..we could not get answers from these for years, why should they be talking to us now?

    We may not always agree with everything Mr Sinckler says, but on the point of us having a right to ask questions with a view to knowing “the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth”, we are certainly at one with him.

    That certainly answers my question…so barbadostoday did also get a cease and desist letter from the Peters/Harris attorney Leslie Haynes re mentioning boko haram …

    ..now is that not a conflict of interest somewhere in there..Haynes is the senior attorney for CGI Insurance Harris, now also the attorney for the aggrieved Peters, send a warning letter to Harris’ newspaper, on behalf of Peters…..when will the lawyers/QCs in Barbados stop that clearly unethical and dishonest behavior..

    The level of instruction the senior attorneys on the island have gotten from their insurance company clients is one of dishonesty, lies, deceit, corruption and destruction and abuse of the lives of claimants while misusing the supreme court of the land.

    How is it no one likes when the shoe is on the other foot…Harris of all people bitterly complaining through his newspaper…… complaining while he is still abusing injured people in the supreme court.

    “We may not always agree with everything Mr Sinckler says, but on the point of us having a right to ask questions with a view to knowing “the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth”, we are certainly at one with him.

    And having, also like him, been threatened with legal action for merely seeking to find out the truth in an editorial last week about Mr Peters’ involvement, if any, in Barbados, we are also of one mind with our Minister of Finance in terms of how we respond to ridiculous and downright stupid threats.

    In fact, it makes us question sometimes the level of legal instruction that some of our most senior attorneys have been exposed to.

    For since when is it illegal to ask a question in Barbados, particularly of the leader of the Barbados Labour Party Ms Mia Mottley who aspires to be our next Prime Minister?

    Is this no longer a democratic country and is it not the duty of the fourth estate to keep those who aspire to leadership to account?

    We vividly recall that on the last occasion that we dared ask Ms Mottley to come clean on her legal qualifications, we were threatened will all manner of legal fire and brimstone.

    Now, lo and behold, a week after Ms Mottley was asked by us “to set the national record straight on the BLP’s relationship, if any at all, with Mr Peters and indeed Boko Horam”, another poisonous package of weak legal smoke arrives, couched in cowardly threats and making malicious claims that were never once made by us. If you doubt us, visit our website and re-read our May 7 editorial entitled We need not court trouble with any Boko Haram for yourself.”

    If the bar asdociation and the disciplinary committee were not themselves so clearly corrupt, none of these decades old destructive things could ever happen in the supreme court.

    On every document I have seen, it’ states very clearly that Haynes is the lead defending attorney for all of CGIs/Harris’ personal injury cases, he even turns up in court to try to intimidate and frighten injured people I am told and saw for myself on one occasion him believing he could intimidate an elderly badly injured claimant..

    …..all the other times his little useless minion junior lawyers appear in the court to delay the court process for years on end, as I have seen on more that one occasion,,,…..so why would Haynes’ office be sending a cease and desist letter to an entity belonging to his own client Harris …on behalf of a new client.

    And people want to take issue with the CCJ..for clearly understanding that this level of dishonesty in attormeys is part of the problems plaguing and aiding in the destruction of.supreme court.

    And just to top it all off…..

    I am so speechless right now, could barely type what I typed above.

    “In the meantime, like Mr Sinckler, we would want Mr Peters, Mr Haynes all and sundry to know that we will not be silenced in Barbados. Our navel strings are buried here – very deeply so – and we will not be bullied by anyone – whether they be Bee, Dee or any complexion in between.”

    As long as Harris remembers, Peters is a billionaire, on the Forbes list and all…..while he is not,…lol

    Will a new BLP government restructure the regulation of financial services? Will it reform the criminal justice system, bearing in mind that the England and Wales common law system that it is based on went through a radical reform in 1971, nearly 50 years ago? Will aa new BLP government abandon the archaic system of having police prosecuting cases, leaving that to the DPP’ office, given that Barbados has an average of 1 lawyer to every 280 citizens? Will a new BLP government campaign to remove the headquarters of the CCJ from Trinidad, unless TnT joins the CCJ?

    “We vividly recall that on the last occasion that we dared ask Ms Mottley to come clean on her legal qualifications, we were threatened will all manner of legal fire and brimstone.”

    And what did the author of that statement so full of Arthurian vindictive bile do?

    Did Ms Mottley “come clean on her legal qualifications” or did she slap a law suit in your backside costing your electronic rag sheet a tidy sum settled out of court?

    Since Ms Mottley has not yet produced her LEC to the Registrar why have you stopped prosecuting the LEC case against Ms Mottley?

    Didn’t she figuratively tell you to “F” off; a luxury the corrupt Chris full of misplaced braggadocio dare not entertain with Benedict?

    BTW, K J, Ms Mottley will get the money to buy garbage trucks from the same NSRL collected from Bajans from September 2016 to May 2018.

    Why don’t you ask the same pathological liar why was the money collected not used for the purposes given in his 2016 budget which would be ring-fenced for the purchase of garbage trucks and related equipment along with the funding the public health services?

    Since you like asking questions why not ask the same compulsive liar why he cannot come clean on the Four Seasons sale or even the Brandons Performing Arts Centre to be grant funded by Chinese since 2012.

    While you are in your investigative mood why not ask him if he is still in fear of his life; not from Mr. Peters the Benedictine monk in the Friar of Boko Haram but the two imaginary assassins in Barbados whom he told Parliament about a couple years back.

    Miller…that there is a very vile and repugnant pit of vipers, as someone well familiar with that circle just said to me…

    Benedict Peters better familiarize himself very quickly with the lay of the land or he will see some serious millions sucked right out of him…..none of this is coincidence.

    Because:

    Haynes is the lawyer for Harris who just got sued, faux or not, by Mia;

    Haynes is the lawyer for Mia, who just sued Harris;

    Haynes is the lawyerer for Peters, now suing Harris et al…and who obviously does not know that Haynes is the catalyst for most everything that is wrong in the Supreme Court. …lol

    It is well known and I have a copy of the letter to prove it, one claimant had to get rid of their plaintiff’s lawyer with Haynes’ office as the defendant attorney, because low and behold ond day the claimant receives a copy of a letter sent to someone on their behalf from their attorney…and in the heading recognized the defending attorney is the consulting attorney for their plaintiff’s attorney in their case…….Haynes of course…

    …now who does that wicked and obviously criminal crap…how could that even be fair to the claimant.

    Exactly why is Barbados’ legal system that broken and who is going to fix it.

    I bet if we dig a little deeper, we will find that Haynes will also be the consulting attorney for Sinkler in any lawsuit filed against Sinkler on Peters behalf…it is the nature of those beasts, if I did not have hard copy evidence as proof of these unethical behaviors by attorneys, I would not believe they could be so vile and reckless with people’s cases.

    Well Well & Cut N’ Paste At Your Service

    Actually, now that I have checked the letter, I made an error, it does not say consulting attorney…it says as clear as day Leslie Haynes…CO-COUNSEL….causing my blood to boil even more…

    How the hell could the defendant attorney with his own client, the insurance company, be co-counsel to the plaintiff’s attorney representing the injured claimant…suing the insurance company.

    Under which frigging law in the world is that legal.

  35. Well, Well Avatar
    Well, Well

    For those who do not get who a co counsel is:

    “co-counsel n

    an attorney who assists in or shares the responsibility of representing a client.”

    that co counsel also controls what happens in the client’s, even if not his client, case, everything.

  36. Well, Well Avatar
    Well, Well

    It is very insightful that from the Attorneys General, to the Chief Justices, to the Registrars, to the Bar Association and Disciplinary Committee all know what Haynes has been doing re this criminal conflict of interest for decades and yet never thought it important or beneficial to the judiciary and claimants that he be brought to justice or disbarred or even disciplined for this vile and disgusting and clearly criminal behaviour, since it is a practice deemed normal by all of them over the years.

    I have learned that there are disciplinary complaints against lawyers still ongoing for this wicked practice of defense and plaintiffs attorneys being co counsel for the same clients/plaintiffs/defendants in the same case.

    Now that it is all out in the open and no longer a secret, well kept or otherwise, what will the Chief Justice and the Registrar do about this well known blight on the judiciary…who, as long as he cannot be counsel for the defendant and co counsel for the plaintiff in the same case, maliciously prolongs the case for years in the supreme court destroying the lives of injured people and abusing the elderly…in the process.

    I hope they are not all waiting for a well publicized lawsuit regionally and internationally against him and possibly them for elder abuse which will embarrass them, the government and the island all over again.

    Do something about Leslie Haynes.

    If we were smart, we would ask ourselves the question:
    Why would ANYONE want to take on responsibility for a broke, dilapidated, shitty, little place that is highly in debt and in which multitudes of problems abound?

    It then becomes clear why KNOWN COMPETENT potential leaders (some of whom we can name) have shown ZERO interest in the role.
    If they did, we would expect them to; be forthright, be open, to have a workable plan in mind, and to seek to bring ALL Bajans on board with their recovery plan….
    Smart peoples would SEEK OUT such persons and ENTICE them to lead us to safety…. but NOT brass bowls.

    On the other hand, we should expect that vultures would always be waiting to pick the national skeleton of any remaining meat…
    Such vultures would of course be secretive about their intentions – holding back any ‘manifestoes’ to the last minute; refusing to be forthright about their “vulturistic” background; attacking anyone who questions their intent; and having no SENSIBLE plan of recovery – but of course making promises of ‘bliss’ to entice the brass bowl carcass to be as compliant as possible…

    It is REALLY interesting that politicians should now seek to use libel suits to resist providing answers to questions that SHOULD have been unnecessary in the first place – as this information should have been provided UP FRONT in the name of transparency.

    But the nature of life is such that stupid animals get themselves eaten every single day by predators and vultures.
    There is a level of idiocy at which Nature kindly allows the vultures to do their work….
