Yes the blp yardfowls would continue their agenda based on unproven Allegations of corruption to distract
However most noticeable the 1 million waiver drawn on taxpayers monies for Mottley father and by whom would never be mentioned
@ T.Inniss
Your advised to Mariposa is too late, the result is still DLP no say in the house, or upper Bay St. you should move the ACs to middle Bay St
Miller dont worry about who i am. My thoughts continuing would not be duplicated in any way shape or fashion as to be directed by you or the blogmasters impressions
Just sit back and fasten your seat belt because all those freeness thathave been promised by Mia would soon be put in their proper perspective when the IMF takes their place at the blp table as controlling managers of the blp and country andthere will be nothing you can do about it
Btw how many buses she promised to buy
Yeah right .
Oh btw Caswell influence would be reduced to the size of a grasshopper. Think on those things
Caswell,
Congratulations, well deserved and surely one who will speak with conviction and knowledge
If only some of the other appointments could be more substantiated.
Unfortunately, I see one name mentioned who is completely useless.

“Somehow I feel some persons will get a stroke when they realise that all this ‘corruption’ and stolen money is not all that this new govt has hyped it up to be.
Millions stolen they are alleging – really – millions? Hmm”
So what are you telling us, T I?
That the millions ‘allegedly’ stolen by the last BLP administration headed by the famous outlaw OSA were just figments of your widely fertile imagination?
Is that why poor Mascoll’s character was screwed by the Hardwood scandal?
What about the millions paid out to build the money hole in Crab Hill?
What about the millions in tax waivers granted to friends and families as you keep maliciously alluding to despite being proved to be demonstrably false?
My friend it is not what you or I assume but what the Auditor General’s reports highlight.
@ Mariposa June 3, 2018 8:03 PM
Glad to see that one of your more intellectually-sane hired pens is responding to the miller’s exposure of the many ac persona.
The buses and the garbage trucks will be bought from the NSRL collected since 2016 as promised by the fired MoF, that stinking liar and crook.
@Miller re “My friend it is not what you or I assume but what the Auditor General’s reports highlight.”
A hearty LOLL. Oh how wrong you are. It is all about ‘alternative facts, ‘my sources are right, your are excrete, ‘facts don’t matter if they paint my position or party negatively, ‘my bellicose is bigger than your bellicose’…etc etc.
The narrative is always about the others never about me. Thus, ‘DLP’s corruption is just over hyped distraction BUT the BLP corruption on VECO, Crab Hill and Edutech now THAT is corruption…. or of course this investigation is a witch hunt, why are you not investigating the DEMS Russia collusion’.
A hearty ROFLOL always because Auditor General reports, exhaustive US Senate reports or anything independently reviewed has ANY merit ever…as long as it’s about ME!
“The narrative is always about the others never about me. Thus, ‘DLP’s corruption is just over hyped distraction BUT the BLP corruption on VECO, Crab Hill and Edutech now THAT is corruption….”
++++++++++++++++
I have to agree with your comment 1000%.
But what comes after?
I recall the hype surrounding the “mess” the DEMS said they found on assuming office in January 2000 and “had to clean up” before they could implement their policies.
There were (and still are) references being made to Greenland, Dodds, Edutech, Crab Hill police station, etc…….yet, after 10 years and 3 months in office, the DEMS have not held anyone in the BLP accountable.
Let’s see if this BLP administration will hold anyone from the former DLP administration accountable for alleged corruption…….
………or the if cycle continues.
The people punished the dlp because they were sick and tired of the dlp austerity measures and now here on BU all are expected to follow and appreciate a blp plan formulated on harsher policies by the IMF.
I dont think so.
@ miller
That can be achieved by demanding the new government uses its current ‘popularity’ to set up an intellectually well-equipped investigative body to try to recover some of the many millions of taxpayers’ hard-earned money siphoned from the Treasury via the fatted calf trough.
The only truth from shut-in David BU the BLP yard fowl is that the revelations by Mia are a sequel. Return of the Fatted Calf. David Thompson’s diclosures on the BLP in 2008 were just as scandalous. The empty $30 mil land fill at Greenland is hard to beat on the corruption scale notwithstanding Mottley’s exaggerations. Chipmunk teeth Dale Marshall switching from US$ to BDS$ to excuse millions in cost overruns on the ABC left us perplexed. Mere samples of the infelicities of the exiting 2008 BLP.
Its hard to believe Mia. Her father cried and choked up strange for a grown man on the accusation of tax waivers. It is either it was so or not ,so why the tears. Mia must answer on that tax waiver charge. BLP politicians who issued bounce cheques before entering Parliament bought mansions, top of the line cars and plantations within a few years in the House of Assembly. Fingers point in both directions.
We want to see the declared assets of parliamentarians as promised by Mia. Start with George Waltoon Payne. Edmund Hinckson’s assertions on him are fresh in memory. The 30-0 is a poisoned chalice Mia hasn’t fathomed. No DLP to blame. Yard fowl David BU continues to pin guilt on the DLP giving Mia a pass but it wont work. DLPites are encouraged to invade this blog let their voices be heard in competition with BLP yard fowls miller, prodigirl, artexass, dribbler , wax man bush tea the brass bowl and their enabler- in -chief yard fowl David BU. Up and in b%#ch!
@Dunks Gripe
Didn’t you forget the 70% that voted for the BLP?

Owen is being given his business..
“Owen Arthur has been advised to “see politics and leave it” after repeatedly failing to minimise the appeal of Mia Mottley. Regional political strategist Hartley Henry deemed Arthur the 31st casualty of the May 24 General Election, saying the former Prime Minister suffered as humiliating a defeat as the Democratic Labour Party (DLP). Henry said a politician of many years’ experience like Arthur should have been able to decipher for himself that, like his efforts, the DLP campaign was a lost cause.”
So wonderful to see my point being proven…not enough maturity in the current crop of politicians/ministers etc to control a sovereign nation in totality..
It gives me no pleasure to say that seeing that both sides can publicly accuse each other of theft and grand larceny from the public purse and pension fund and anything else they found to thief in the last 24 or more years…from their own people…
….and still they keep saying that the known corruption and thefts cannot be proven, which means both governments developed a system together to hide those thefts…
But nothing stays hidden in this high tech world anymore.
But Harley your blp would suffer the same fate as the dlp because of the Big Lie Mia told the electorate
Also bear in mind the mandate given to Mia was more so a blp mandate as many Dees did not go to polls
Good luck at your next crossing
The Dees would be watching
@Mariposa
Since you claim many Dees did not go to the polls, you really did not see the cross line in the D that turned it to B, good luck, keep watching
Yeah watchman
Sometimes a bad thing can turn to be a good thing.
Yu watch
I see Dale Marshall already making excuses about integrity legislation and it’s inability to to be retroactive when proclaimed….in bringing to justice the corrupt criminals in the exgovernment….Marshall pledges in the newspapers to hunt them down, until he does and we see some if not all of them charged, no one will take him seriously.
for his information some time back it was revealed that there are laws already existing on the statutes books dealing with corruption, theft, there is also recently passed legislation dealing with money laundering, forfeiture of property, fraud..etc…just grab those laws and get to work..
..there is enough of a local legal frame work in place to bring to justice these criminals when their ill-gotten gains have been tracked down….there is a framework in place to have international police and others start following the money, Marshall and the present government do not have the resources needed to do this job, it is best left to international agencies who do..
in saying that, is the current GG any relation to Michael Lashley exgovernment minister, because that should not prevent a thorough investigation of his actions as a minister and all the allegations of corruption and misappropriation of the people’s funds at NHC and then at Transport Board, as well as the recent Weare matter with him and Sinkler, etc….and many more allegations which have been made from the time he was appointed those two portfolios.
Does the AG even realize that the framers of the draft amendment, which is not yet proclaimed, re integrity legislation, are the ones to make the law retroactive..I have seen it done before re immigration legislation.
in one jurisdiction….legislation before being proclaimed law in 1996 was made retroactive for those with criminal records in other jurisdictions, which amazed me, so anything to do with making people pay for crimes, sometimes crimes they already paid for, can be made retroactive….
..why do bajan AGs make it seem like following the rules and procedures to benefit the population…is so difficult.
“My nest pick for Senator would be Lynette Eastmond because she will bring a new perspective to the House.”
I support your recommendation given her intimate knowledge of the nuances of Government and particularly International business and to which her skills were put to use for the benefit of country in restoring the reputation of Barbados as country in good standing when threatened with blacklisting by the OECD.
@ the Sage Annunaki
Lololol
Whuloss man you killing me…
“…Not one but three (3) stupid persons; namely, “ac”, “angela Skeete” and now the “Manypussy…”
De last one is class
@ Brother Hants
You see what I mean about thinking up a name that breeds derision and discredits your opposition?
You think dat Manypussy going be able to shift that name? And its context?
Class one!
Sincere Congratulations Brother Franklyn. Also congrats to the BU family on what is a victory for the free press.
Anybody heard yet who is Bishop Atherley’s choice for the 2nd Opposition senator post? Only one of the Media houses seem to be treating the matter as worthy of reporting, i.e. the Advocate.
” Two Government Senators announced by Prime Minister Mia Mottley are still not in a position to take their places in the Upper House.”

Sincere Congratulations Brother Franklyn. Also congrats to the BU family on what is a victory for the free press.
HOW IS THIS A VICTORY FOR ANY FREE PRESS? OR ANY BU FAMILY?
FRANKLYN’S APPOINTMENT TO THE SENATE IS A VICTORY FOR CASWELL FRANKLYN, HIS INTEGRITY, AND HIS WILLINGNESS TO SPEAK THE TRUTH?
Caswell
Do you know what the amendment to the constitution says? I am not seeing what the change reads .
T. Inniss
I am not surprised that you have not seen the amendments, neither have I.
