The following was posted to the Unionists BEWARE! blog on the 8the December 2018.
Caswell Franklyn
A prison officer was caught stealing diesel from the prison. He is now suspended pending his own trial and now he is one of the persons accusing Browne of maliciously endeavouring him away from his duty. Another is a female prison officer who married a former inmate. Her case is pending for years. It is a dismissible offence for a prison officer to associate with former prisoners.At present, I do not know what the prison authorities have holding over the heads of the other two but I am certain that they did not report this matter of their own free will.
Browne is charged for allegedly inciting prison officers away from their duty. But why is no one being charged for impregnating a Jamaican prisoner. I suppose that the woman, now safely back in Jamaica, would keep quiet while the blackmail money continues to flow.
Wade Gibbons
Wade Gibbons Caswell Franklyn I remember the prison officer ‘lady’ very well….covered that situation years ago when she got impregnated by an inmate, married him on his release from jail, all contrary to the Prison Act, and still kept her job. She is not a credible witness and if the others are cut from the same cloth Browne has nothing to worry about. Apart from being Judases, this must be their way of currying favour from the authorities to remain in the system. And then Bajans have to be subjected to people in suits sitting down around a table in parliament [remove yourself from that bogus gathering, CF] on some select committee talking cnut about corruption in Barbados. Lilliput is alive and well!
Although the blogmaster is pleased to read of Trevor Browne release from prison on $1,000.00 bail the circumstances surrounding his incarceration remains a concern. His matter was adjourned until 18 February. Something smells rotten in Denmark. This is a brief comment is to remind all parties- including the DPP and AG- that Barbados is a nation of laws!

DIRTY, DIRTY BARBADOS IRREGARDLESS WHETHER DLP OR BLP PARTY IN POWER.
MUSICAL CHAIRS.
WAY TOO MUCH CORRUPTION, DISHONESTY AND NEPOTISM ON THE LITTLE ISLAND.
“Something smells rotten in Denmark. …… Barbados is a nation of laws!”
It stinks, and NO, Barbados is no longer a nation of laws, it is a nation of corruption, where dog eats dog, and the taxpayer is simply a milch cow to pay for the dog chow, Truly failed state status.
UHURU!!!
.
It’s REPULSIVE …everywhere you turn it is the same topic..the nasty corruption…the nastier corrupt CURRENT and FORMER GOVERNMENT MINISTERS…..the even NASTIER thieving lawyers…that is all you hear on EVERYONE’S LIPS..be they black, white, locals or visitors…and this information has spread AROUND THE WORLD..
The useless DPP and Commissioner of police whom NO ONE HAS ANY CONTROL OVER…and who do not do their jobs adequately to PROTECT THE MAJORITY POPULATION…
..and just imagine…the current AG accused of thefts of ESTATES from the elderly…who is in control of the police…CANNOT CONTROL THE POLICE…because the commissioner was appointed as a DLP yardfowl…under the previous corrupt government..
…..these corrupt governments can only control ..THE YARDFOWLS THAT THEY APPOINT…
@45……they obviously are quite OBLIVIOUS to how FAR and WIDE their corruption and stealing from the majority population has spread..NO ONE wants anything to do with any of them…no one…I was surprised that so many in different countries KNOW what they have done to the people on the island…AND ARE ALL TALKING ABOUT IT.
They have NO SHAME..but a lot of NERVE to still be jumping out talking SHITE…when the people both on and off island are so VERY REPULSED by EACH AND EVERYONE OF THEM…..
WARU, The Barbados Establishment is beyond contempt. I have said before, and I say again, they need to have fear put into them, not just of incarceration, but fear for their very skins. I remain amazed that none of the dispossessed have taken the law into their own hands, since the law is irredeemably corrupt.
@45…unfortunately the average Bajan does not have that FIRE…and OUTRAGE …that CAN BURN DOWN the thieving lawyers and corrupt government ministers….they were SOCIALIZED TO SUFFER IN SILENCE…and passed that OPPRESSIVE PRACTICE AND ACCEPTANCE ON TO EACH AND EVERY GENERATION FOR THE LAST 60 YEARS..
..from coast to coast it has to be explained to those who are amazed and WONDERING…AND ARE VERY, VERY CONCERNED AND ASKING why don’t the people RISE UP…against these dirty, stinking PIGS OF PARLIAMENT …and the SNAKES in the bar association…
Macron just pissed off the FRENCH PEOPLE…and they nearly took his goddamn head off…
see the difference…the scum in parliament feed the gullible bullshit and get clean away with their crimes against the people and country…but they will miscalculate..and soon..
&Lexicon and 45govt
Both of you will be gone if you continue to disrespect the blog when we attempt to discuss serious matters.
I hope you are right WARU, it seems Little England has inherited the subservience of Old England. It will be down to the victims, the sheeple are as if drugged, and have no interest in their fate.
David, I see even-handedness is not in your makeup. Look again and find the offender. Your bias is clear.
“the sheeple are as if drugged, and have no interest in their fate.”
Truer words have never been spoken..that is exactly the PROBLEM..the brainwashed, mentally enslaved population are WILLING participants in their OWN DEMISE.
We have been trying to WAKE THEM UP…..but not enough of them have AWOKEN and not fast OR COMPLETELY enough.
WARU you are spot on. I have been saying for years bajan are too passive and complacent when it comes to taking action. All they do is complain. They are satisfied with the statis quo even when it affects them negatively. SMH.

They better move their asses Jean..their VERY EXISTENCE and WELLBEING and those of their current and future generations DEPENDS on it NOW MORE THAN EVER BEFORE….
…they better START SHARING INFORMATION with each other…and see the SKUNKS in parliament for what they really are…ENEMIES OF BLACK PEOPLE..and TREAT THEM like the enemies of the people that they are…or there will be more REGRETS…
The people are not willing to make the sacrifices that come with taking action. They do not have the heart for the real fight against the real enemies of the people.. They prefer to fight each other for leftover scratch grain.
@ Donna
The people are not willing to make the sacrifices that come with taking action.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
This is not a true statement Donna.
People are ALWAYS willing and ready to make sacrifices when needed to make things right (righteous)
THAT is the definition of ‘people’ / ‘Human beings’.
The PROBLEM is that we are mostly not dealing with ‘people’ here … but with certified brass bowls.
Brass bowls accept anything ..from anyone … be it – water, piss, jobby, garbage, kicks….ANYTHING.
We are talking about BBBBs that accept water outages; going back to stand pipes; jobby running in their streets,;garbage all over the place; …and plenty other kicks and sticks in the form of taxes and more taxes….
What ‘people’ what??!!
We need to identify some REAL people (along with Caswell) …and THEN we can possibly see some action….
Presumably that is the task that Piece has undertaken for himself….
We would do well to direct our anger where it really matters. Apparently the poor people who have always been sacrificed on the altar of the national good, must now carry the fight while others just enjoy the sweets.
In 1937 it was the poor who ushered in a new period of workers rights thereby paving the way for adult suffrage and then independence.
Th same people since then have exercised their right to change governments and suffered being deceived time and time again.
Just the other day hundreds became jobless and are now being promised there will be joy in the morning .
Why don’t we spend more time going after those who are raping this country in concert with the decadent duopoly.
I have asked the question :What is it we want the people to do. Do we really think that a person who woke up without a job ,while every day he sees jobs being created for the privileged few, is going to just go and protest or picket the supermarkets that licking dem up with prices ?
The people are doing what they have always being forced to do : survive.
William..and the people SITTING DOING NOTHING…is helping get rid of the stinking duopoly so well..
It was the PEOPLE WHO had to GET RID OF THE CORRUPT DLP..
it IS the PEOPLE WHO will have to get RID of the CORRUPT, LYING, DECEITFUL BLP.
EXACTLY who do you think Is going to ride INTO Barbados to SAVE them…the people THEY HAVE TO SAVE THEMSELVES…
and stop all the god and jesus bullshit…cause neither of the two will turn up on the island AT ANY TIME to help or to save the majority black population….
Somehow I felt (not thought) that we all would behave better in 2019.
What a simpleton I am.
We humans are still apex predators.
We prey on everything from lettuce and mushrooms, to each other.
Let me tell ya, we speak of a good God, but way too many of his children…
SM(RH)H
Lemme go get my medicine, because i see it as my duty to outlive all of the current political/business class.
@ WARU
The people are not sitting doing nothing. They are venting their feelings everyday and have been now doing so for about thirty or more years.
The people have been betrayed all the time and this betrayal continues.
Within the duopoly there is no enlightened leadership. And unfortunately those seeking to replace them are presenting similar approaches.
Look around you: the poor people are trying all types of ventures to become financially independent but there is no breathing place.
We don’t want to address in any serious matter: race ,politics, land reform ,economic enfranchisement or even the reform of the education system.
How can a people be inspired if there is no progressive leadership?
SSS, they breed if unchecked, you cannot outlast them, you have to emasculate them or terminate them with extreme prejudice. Fear is the key, and they have none.
The Jews learned this lesson the hard way, and they made Eichmann and others learn it too. Sadly, there appears no other way, and the outcome of the last election just confirms it. Meet the new boss, same as the old boss.
WS – venting their feelings? That’s worked out well hasn’t it?
A little more may be needed after 30 years of nothing I reckon.
@ 45 govt
At the end of the day it may take a prolonged,militant activism. In such a scenario violence and social dislocation, cannot be ruled out.
A question: Is this the answer?
Bushie
Absolutely right!
This ‘de people’ talk has always been overrated, far too delayed and highly ineffectual.
The time has long past when the ‘voice of the people was that of god’.
Let’s examine how Bajans have jumped from B to D to B to D and B again. Only rassssoul brassbowls operate so.
Any sentient beings would know by now that there are no differences between Ds and Bs and would have already seized their power, by any means necessary. Even Barrow admitted that!
Not only are you right about ‘the people’ but the elites can reasonably depend on the only response the people know – waiting for five years to pretend that they are important.
But sometimes – the Haitian Revolution, the French Revolution, the Glorious Revolution (1688) were historically important and exceptional moments – deviations from the norm. Unfortunately, only moments in time!
@Pacha
Labour to Conservatives
Democrats to Republicans
Will not include the coalition efforts in Israel, Germany and else.
What is your point?
Under the formal slave system there was more activity for justice than under this new formation of the same old system..
David
Its global in character. Just like the slave system was global.
Our point is that we need a genuine revolution everywhere!
That current notions of freedom, justice, peace, equity, equality only serve to keep systems of domination in place.
Thanks for the clarification. There is the view that people must become more activist by infiltrating existing systems to force the change we want to see.
WS – yes, we need to be more French. Social cohesion has already been destroyed by innate corruption, and Barbados has been turned into a third world country by its own servants. What do you suggest to put a stop to their depredations?
@ 45govt
I really see no progressive hope under BLPDLP.
For a seismic shift the educational system has to be radically and urgently reformed. And this seems not to be of any concern to the ruling class.
David
No! That advice was always misguided.
Does the history not prove this?
Those like Obama and others who so argue only aim to maintain the status quo. They are pimping the ones following their call.
It’s a trick!
The whole shebang needs bringing down. with a divine ruthlessness!
“For a seismic shift the educational system has to be radically and urgently reformed. And this seems not to be of any concern to the ruling class.”
It is not in their best interest…miseducating the masses gains them multiple offshore accounts with stolen millions and stolen property….and nuff, nuff bribes and kickbacks..
do you see them stealing from people like myself without being lassoed…drawn and quartered…
Mr. Skinner that is the crux of the problem. In this day and age you have to be more than Surviving. Do not underestimate people who turn they angst into activism. Just because someone is unemployed doesn’t mean they can’t participate in meaningful actions that will benefit them.
“Our point is that we need a genuine revolution everywhere!”
and THE SOONER THE BETTER the BRITS have completed their nasty planning against Caribbean people and ARE READY TO IMPLEMENT.
Do not look for any help FROM those TIEFING, SELLOUT SKUNKS IN PARLIAMENT.
“Under the formal slave system there was more activity for justice than under this new formation of the same old system..”
Black people got lazy, too comfortable…bought into the consumerISM and capitalISM scams…CREATED JUST FOR THEM…..worshipping ISM and SKISM… that Marley, Tosh etc WARNED THEM ABOUT…
THEY CONTINUE TO LOOK. at their ABUSERS as their SAVIORS…but this time, that distraction and misdirection will kill them all.
@ WARU
The people are not sitting doing nothing. They are venting their feelings everyday and have been now doing so for about thirty or more years.”
venting feelings peacefully while appointing and electing THIEVES AND CROOKS to the parliament over and over to the parliament …has NOT HELPED THEM IN THE LAST 30 YEARS ..now has it..
they most get out of that comfort zone of SHEEPLE STATUS…
Thy better get RID of Mia and all heR lowlife ministers…as soon as possible,…they do not have another 30 years to moan, bitch and complain…without action.
@ Jean
I have never said they should not protest. I simply asked why are we always looking to those who are downtrodden to be out there protesting for the others to reap the sweets.
We are getting no help from those whom we have educated to the highest levels because they are defending the status quo.
The trade unions seem to have lost their teeth.
This whole idea of the people needs a full debate. We know who are downtrodden.
Is the burden going to be put on them again?
David
We should also have stated that any attempt at real revolution is always associated with a counter-revolution.
And the counter-revolution almost always wins.
The Russian Revolution (circa 1917) too had to fight off a counter. A counter-revolution which was militarily supported by the then Great Britain and others. Iran is another example of a successful revolution against both foreign forces and internal counter-revolutionary actors. And they are others as well.
In American, in France, in Britain and most other places it is the counter-revolutionary or reactionary forces who generally win. If not immediately, by other means.
“Is the burden going to be put on them again?”
they are the ones who are going to be repeatedly and consistently VICTIMIZED BY THEIR OWN BLACK GOVERNMENTS…without fail..
who do you think ROSE UP IN REBELLION FOR THE SLAVES…they had to do it themselves..
…time will be better spent mobilizing the vulnerable in Barbados…to send the government a message…that NO MORE of the evil shit that they PRACTICE against black people like themselves for self enrichment of the scum in government and in the bar association …will be tolerated…
YOU ALREADY KNOW WHO YOUR ENEMIES ARE…they have black faces….WHICH MAKES HALF THE JOB COMPLETE…
@ David BU at 9 : 42 AM
I think that unethical and immoral people will always be with us. It is incumbent on those, who are guided by a moral compass, to ensure that those,who share their values, are elected to the positions of power and influence.
Basically ,there is nothing wrong with the system .The problem is with the persons who we select to manage the system. We should take responsibility for this and stop the bitching.
@Vincent
We operate today in a culture of cultural relativism. Do you agree?
“Thanks for the clarification. There is the view that people must become more activist by infiltrating existing systems to force the change we want to see.”
@David
I mentioned recently the difference between change and disruption. Instead I should replace change with innovation. Many contributors are not looking for innovation and improvement to current systems they want disruption.
Are you speaking about disruption or innovation?
What does the average Barbadian want to see. My guess is innovation, not the disruption so many here pontificate about as the only solution.
Disruption cannot be controlled or managed, and positive results are not guaranteed.
@Vincent I agree.
@redguard
Appreciate the clarification. To your point don’t we need both?
Mr. Skinner
The world is little more than a concrete jungle as Brother Bob opined. Why would one expect anyone other than the downtrodden to bear the burden of a revolution that benefits them??????
It is not common for a person of the “privileged” class or who has a ladder to the “privileged” class to see the long term benefits to himself of an equitable system. The few that do would still need the backing of the downtrodden masses to effect a revolution.
Poor blind fools these ‘rulers’ are! I pity them. They think they have possessions but actually they are possessed. Never satisfied. Always seeking more. No rest for the wicked!
Disruption WORKED OUT damn fine for those who were physically enslaved…it will work out even better for those who have been mentally enslaved and brainwashed for the past 60 years…IF THEY WILL JUST WAKE THE HELL UP.
@ WS @9.49 – the ruling class are unconcerned simply because they ARE the ruling class. Turkeys never vote for Christmas, and with the First Past The Post system inherited from the UK, you will see these political sewer rats clamouring for a change when in opposition, only to fall silent when the system delivers them the ONLY thing they care about, POWER.
They then assume the couldn’t care less attitude of their predecessors. (And award knighthoods to their scurrilous old fathers)
Look not to the beneficiaries of corruption to stamp it out. Why would they? Again, laws are enforced by fear of consequences for transgressions. The bastards are not in fear. YET.
@ Donna
Then we have to deal with the question of leadership. I take most of your points but what is coming through is that the post independence Caribbean leadership has failed.
The system was destined to fail because its roots were in corruption and the exploitation of one race to the benefit of all others.
@William
How does one deal with leadership to follow your line of comment?
Oh, come on William. Is that the reason that every African country has failed, while Singapore sets new records every year? Or the reason that an utterly shattered Germany has reached the heights it has in only 70 years?
That is known as professional victimhood and leads nowhere. How long before you consider that card no longer playable?
@WARU
Ok so you are “WOKE” as the americans say.
What is it that you see that is in need of disruption that I can’t.
I posit that anything you say requires disrupting can be addressed more effectively and efficiently with innovation, a commitment to excellence and continual improvement. We simply need to empower the right people.
@ 45 govt at 11:28 AM
I concur with sentiments expressed. It is always satisficing for many of us to point the index finger away from ourselves.
@ 45govt
This is not about victim hood. This is just trying to place all struggles in an historical context. Whether we like it or not people are conditioned by past experiences.
I know we like to sweep reality under the carpet but change is never comfortable for all.
Some bitter truths must be exposed.
WS – for how long? Israel now deals with Germany (though I wouldn’t), and the descendants of Allied troops beheaded by the barbarous Japanese fill their homes with their products. The trouble is that the longer this victim crutch is leaned on, the harder it becomes to throw it away. Every era has its victims, but to make that your defining emblem is self-defeating, and no one is interested in our history in the long run, ESPECIALLY the thieves now ruining the lives of their kith and kin – not at the orders of their commanders, but out of simple greed.
@ 45 govt at 11:58 AM
Greed is the fundamental problem and it comes in all colours and creeds.
Exactly Vincent, and has no regard for history any more than morality.
@ 45govt
I am not making historical injustices my “defining emblem”. You cannot discuss change in a vacum.
Let us therefore agree to disagree.
Vincent Codrington
What you have failed to acknowledge in your characterization of the corruption that is deeply rooted in politics today, is the fact that the culture of that environment somehow transforms the will intended politician to the corrupted one.
And this political culture is analogous to the Thin Blue Line we often see in law enforcement in America, and through the wider world…
@WS 🙂
William Skinner,
How the heck are we supposed to diagnose and correct a problem without putting it in context? 45 always bristles when WE speak about race but he is often the one bringing it into the discussion by speaking or posting ALL THINGS NEGATIVE about ALL black people.
“I posit that anything you say requires disrupting can be addressed more effectively and efficiently with innovation, a commitment to excellence and continual improvement. We simply need to empower the right people.”
…actually although mental enslavement is harder to DISMANTLE than physical enslavement which just required removing shackles and chains…this particular mental enslavement after decades…BECAME SELF INFLICTED…as many have BEGGED AND BESEECHED BLACK PEOPLE …particularly in the Caribbean….for many decades:
“..EMANCIPATE YOURSELF FROM MENTAL SLAVERY…NONE BUT YOURSELF CAN FREE YOUR OWN MIND”
“have no fear of atomic energy…cause none of them…STILL CANNOT TELL THE TIME.”
The problem that STILL RESIDES IN THE BLACK MIND…when you give them even the smallest, tiniest control and power over each other…most of them still do the same backward SHITE…they are greedy, ignorant and backward….a new generation of intelligent black people who are capable of seeing furthur than GREED AND SELF ENRICHMENT…are solely needed.
THE OLD SKUNKS IN BOTH DLP and BLP gotta go…ya do not even want their youth ams because they have already been infected and infested with the same cancerous poisons by the old guard of criminals and demons in those political parties that need to be forever EXILED out of the parliament.
THE OLD SKUNKS IN BOTH DLP and BLP gotta go…ya do not even want their YOUTH ARMS…because….
@ Donna
Very few of us like to deal with the historical truth. Your point is taken.
@ David
I think that a new leadership will have to evolve. It is difficult to identify that within the duopoly.
I don’t want to be wishy washy but we have a crisis in progressive leadership.
Please note that progressive leadership does not have to exclusively come from within the dominant political class.
Barbados Children’s Wear
Reports are now coming out that officials in Barbados Children’s Wear are being accused of faulty accounting , Clement Jones has been accused of such and allegations are now being looked into
Don’t really like quoting these lowlifes..but the comment does apply, now if ya EXPOSE those who are UNAFFECTED ENUFF…they will become JUST AS OUTRAGED…as their HELPLESS VICTIMS WHO ARE AFFECTED…

William Skinner
“Very few of us like to deal with history truth”
We seldom hear of the period in American History where African Americans owned their banks, hospitals, schools, businesses, and homes, prior to the Great Depression and subsistence/ welfare…
You seldom hear of th Blacks who fought in every war in America’s history… from the Continental War of Independence to Iraq and Afghanistan…
And how the Buffalo Soldier who was subjected to some of harsh conditions, and yet fought valiantly against Native Americans in the Midwest and won their respect as well as much territory for America…
WARU
So why would you quote the words of a slave owner then?
Back to the subject of Dodds and the foolishness of Browne and Franklyn,in 2019 no junior officer in a disciplined force will ever be allowed to get away with insulting or disobeying a superior officer.In my opinion the Police Service,the Prison Service,the Fire Service,the Customs Service(the new to be named Border Security Division)must all be subject to full MILITARY DISCIPLINE as opposed to Civil Service discipline.The nonsense that resulted in the burning of Glendairy Prisons facilitated by the stupid actions and comments of one Gordon Matthews must never happen again in Barbados,
Barbados is home to its citizens and those thousands who visit and share our space.All you dumbass politicians had better wake up to the reality of the danger of allowing anarchists, unions and anti democratic forces to spout their foolishness in Barbados,
Two of the groups that support the status quo are the ruling elite and the submissive.
Disruption is a word that cannot be embraced by the submissive Even the words that they use must be devoid of any radical ideas, The docile knows that their world need changing but they lack the courage to initiate such change. They sit and wait for the next innovation; perhaps life may be better then.
@ogazerts
True but so sad!!!
Is Gabriel serious?
What a load of jobby.
When a man is elected to be the leader of a group that REPRESENTS a class of workers, that damn man has to be given the SAME level of respect as any man or woman or man/woman who is elected to represent groups – all the way up to the people of Barbados.
Skippa, if you want to treat Brown as an individual in his own right, then Bushie would have to treat Mia as an individual in HER own right..
…and you done KNOW how Bushie feels about Glendairy, School Meals contracts, Dodds, Crab Hill ……. etc etc etc
BUT…Bushie RESPECTS the fact that PM Mottley is REPRESENTATIVE of the people collective vote and responds accordingly..
YOU and Nurse MUST recognise and respect Mr Brown’s appointment….
..quite APART from the fact that a court found in his favour…. and the ruling has been ignored by government.
Are you RH serious…?
Gabriel,
Seems more to me that YOU are the dangerous one promoting anti-democratic behaviour in Barbados. You want to crack down on representation against authority. You want obedience without question. You want prisoners to have no recourse.
You want the opposite to anarchy. Authoritarianism!
That is no better than anarchy.
We need to find balance. There will always be tension as parties flex their muscles. There is nothing wrong with that.
Oh oh!
I have to learn to type faster. Again I am too slow. Bushie beat me to it!
WARU,
Most of those who see themselves as unaffected will NEVER be as outraged as those who see themselves as affected.
A minority will be outraged and along with the masses they can be enough.
We only have to look around us and see what might be Barbados’s lot, in the misconception of some well meaning citizens who do not think it can happen here.Jamaica,Trinidad,Guyana are all suffering the consequences of too much liberalism as opposed to realism.Even the UK,France,Germany,Greece,Spain are all falling to the anarchists hiding under the cloak of democracy because authority figures think ‘it can’t happen here’.
Get a cold shower and come back Gabriel.
The ABSOLUTE WORSE experiences that can be seen by looking around comes from AUTHORITARIAN NITWITS who sound just like you do – demanding unquestioned obedience.
How come you were not this gung ho about obedience when Freundel ran things?
You (of all people) are aware of Guyana’s plight – because of leaders who feel that they are laws unto themselves.
Shiite man…
YOU are the VERY last person that Bushie expected to come with that authoritarian shiite…
Besides … you OBVIOUSLY don’t know Nurse….
@ Donna
Never mind being at one with Bushie… (ain’t it sweet?)
We either need to quit talking in our sleep… or we will need to get different rooms.
LOL
ha ha ha
Gabriel,
The problem is that the system is UNFAIR! It works for the rich and powerful ONLY. That is what you need to correct.
The problem is the authority figures. They are the ones who need clamping down on.
Can you really not see this?????????
Snap again, Bushie!
Gabriel,
I don’t know Nurse but I know a whole lot about Browne. He is a very responsible FAMILY MAN. I would imagine that he carries that type of attitude into his work. He is no anarchist but he does not stand for foolishness. I would put my money on him anytime.
“A minority will be outraged and along with the masses they can be enough.”
oh they do exist..
those who believe themselves untouchable are now OUTRAGED that they cannot STOP the exposure…that is ALSO enough for what’s ahead.
Lexicon….
this…
now if ya EXPOSE those who are UNAFFECTED ENUFF…they will become JUST AS OUTRAGED…as their HELPLESS VICTIMS WHO ARE AFFECTED…
is not what FRANLKIN SAID…if ya noticed…I twisted his words…what he said applied to HIS time…I had to TWIST IT. so it will APPLY TO OUR ERA…
A few interventions before,I made the observation that we have to be careful in choosing persons for leadership positions. The leadership criteria that are fit for a particular position are not the criteria for selection to other positions. Crisis management is not civil management.
David your precursive algorithm does not understand Greek syntax. I had to correct my verb twice. But that is machine intelligence for you. LOL!!!
@Vincent
Your snide observation is noted.
@Theo
Take what happened last year. An incompetent immoral DLP brought the country to its knees. The country was ripe for disruption, then elections were called, people voted and in the space of 24 hrs disruption was abated.
But the truth is nothing changed, all the problems that were the catalysts still remain.
Why is that?
It is not that people are docile or submissive, instead people have bought in to the notion that the ballot box is the safest and most civil way to disrupt. This of course is nonsense but people take comfort in it because as Bushman says they are brassbowls and they will always choose what is easiest rather than what is right.
What we need in Barbados are strong active professional non-partisan organisations who will provide citizens with the facts, details on best practice and recognised global leaders and analyses of our current systems regardless of who is in power.
When faced with overwhelming facts, examples of good governance and best practice even the most insular of brassbowls will become activists and recognise the fight must continue regardless of elections, leaders must be held accountable from the first day on the job not 7 months in and leaders must have a vision and they must share it, justify it and defend it.
More importantly…they must IMPLEMENT IT..and not just use it as a tool and weapon to BECOME ELECTED..and thereafter even REFUSE TO ACKNOWLEDGE that they made those FALSE PROMISES..to the electorate.
@Gabriel January 3, 2019 7:26 AM “in 2019 no junior officer in a disciplined force will ever be allowed to get away with insulting or disobeying a superior officer.In my opinion the Police Service,the Prison Service,the Fire Service,the Customs Service(the new to be named Border Security Division)must all be subject to full MILITARY DISCIPLINE as opposed to Civil Service discipline.”
I disagree.
The police officers, the prison officers, the fire officers, the customs officers did NOT join the military. if they had wanted to be soldiers they would have joined the Barbados Defence Force. They did not.
Civil servants. Civil discipline. If you try to impose military discipline on civil servants they will vote with their feet. Barbados thankfully is not a concentration camp. People can leave, and people will leave.
Next thing we know people like you will be seeking to subject old ladies and gentlemen with canes to full MILITARY DISCIPLINE.
Nope.
I can’t happen.
Not ’bout hay.
Just yesterday I was saying that Barbados is still very much a post-slavery society. There are always people like you seeking to compel others, as though you feel like you is some kinda slave master, as though you feel like you own somebody.
You don’t own anybody. In all likelyhood you can’t even discipline your own self, and seeking to dragoon others.
Stupseee!!!
Massa day dun dead.
@Gabriel January 3, 2019 7:26 AM “The nonsense that resulted in the burning of Glendairy Prisons facilitated by the stupid actions and comments of one Gordon Matthews must never happen again in Barbados,”
Glendairy prison burned because the prison was designed to house 300 people, and WE had permitted 1,000 human beings to be housed there. And then we acted surprised that the prisoners rebelled and burned the place to hell down. If you put 1,000 rats or 1,000 dogs in a place designed for 300 they too would rebel. What is truly surprising is that it did not happen before. And note that I am NOT blaming Mia since Glendairy Prison was over crowded long, long before Mia was born. Long before she was even conceived.
My house was designed for 6 people. If you stuffed 20 people in here and kept the doors locked most of the time, we a loving family would also cut each others throats or burn the blasted place down.
But I blame all ‘o WE. We by our inaction LET it happen.
WE are to blame.
@Bush Tea January 3, 2019 8:33 AM “AUTHORITARIAN NITWITS who sound just like you do – demanding unquestioned obedience.”
And Gabriel, tobesides a simpleton like me can’t give anybody unquestioning obedience. Shite man. I stopped obeying my own parents when I was 12 years old. Respect yes, love yes, honour yes, until their deaths when I was well in my fifties.
But unquestioning obedience.
Nope.
Can’t happen.
Not ’bout hay.
“Just yesterday I was saying that Barbados is still very much a post-slavery society. There are always people like you seeking to compel others, as though you feel like you is some kinda slave master, as though you feel like you own somebody.
You don’t own anybody. In all likelyhood you can’t even discipline your own self, and seeking to dragoon others.
Stupseee!!!
Massa day dun dead.”
…..jackass EXTRAORDINAIRE..both BLIND, DUMB and REFUSES TO WAKE THE HELL UP…BU is INFESTED…with these nuisances and THREATS to the SOCIAL freedom of BLACK bajans..

.Imagine that.Not blaming Mia – but blaming everyone.wuhloss.
When she was the Minister with responsibility for the Prisons.
When she was warned by Rev. Gordon Matthews privately and then publicly – that if she didn’t look into the prisoners complaints – there would be unrest.
Yet she sat on her fat boxy and did nothing .
IMAGINE A COMMISION OF INQUIRY INTO THE BURNING DOWN OF THE PRISON – AND MIA WHO IS THE LINE MINISTER – WAS NOT CALLED TO TESTIFY BEFORE THAT COMMISSION.
Where else would that happen huh?

You should ask former Deputy president of the Senate Harold Crichlow if his life was threatened by some goons of the DLP, arising out of a stinging sermon he delivered live on Rediffusion just before the General Election in 1976 and for which act of preaching that sermon the Rev Gordon Mattthews called on Errol Barrow,Prime Minister to revoke the broadcast licence of the same Rediffusion.Gordon Matthews the “honorary white” who was so anointed by the apartheid regime of the Boer regime of South Africa who saw nothing wrong with denying Bajans the right to hear the ills of the society and was allowed into Glendairy under the cloak of religion and encouraged the prisoners to mischief,Then when Mia moved at lightning speed to save Bajans and tourists from marauding prisoners on the streets of Barbados the DLP spread untruths of cost over runs and all kinds of innuendo and lies fed by an inside source dubbed the Quisling.The DLP has always been the vagabond element in politics Barbados from when Tudor told tenants in the government housing districts not to pay rent.The DLP mindset is to commit any act that gives them a political advantage and the devil take the hindmost.

I like your post at 10:53 a.m.
I agree with most of your sentiments there.
So Gabriel
If all that is true – why didn’t Mottley who was A.G. – testify and tell all to the Commission of Enquiry.
Mottley is a failure – because she has convinced sheep like you and others who wait on the fatted calf – that she has this outsize skill, enormous capacity, boundles intelligence – you name it.
She got de vote and now we watching she lol – and we are not impressed at all, at all, at all.
boundless intelligence * correction
No diehard Dem likes a successful BLP candidate let alone a brilliant politically savvy contender cut in the cloth of Tomadams.When Tom died suddenly in ’85 one of your fellow Dems named Bernstein said “ah,we now got a chance to get back in”.Mia going kill wunna stinking Dems with efficiency and proper governance going forward and she might find the evidence and a few quislings who should ensure the bracelets and the perp walk become a reality of you Fatted Calf starve out Dems.
Have a good night Gabriel.
Don’t let the hate and bitterness suffocate you.

You commented:
“Gabriel,
I don’t know Nurse but I know a whole lot about Browne. He is a very responsible FAMILY MAN. I would imagine that he carries that type of attitude into his work. He is no anarchist but he does not stand for foolishness. I would put my money on him anytime”.
I know Nurse from the time we were boys at Combermere and we had been friends for a long time. He chose to opt out of our friendship when I, as an industrial relations officer at NUPW, represented a member of staff at Dodds prison, who Nurse had violently abused. He turned on a hatred for me because I was performing my lawful duties.
On the other hand I met Trevor Browne much later but I can endorse your testimonial.
For Gabriel’s information, prison officers formed a division in NUPW up to 1982 when they decided to for an association and were tricked by Tom Adams into a legislated entity that took away all their trade union rights. As the law now stands, it is a criminal offence to even attend meetings of CTUSAB.
When Nurse was appointed, he found a civilian prison and he set about transforming it into his own Glendiary Defence Force. He even recruited ex-soldiers who superseded most of the other officers and of course problems would start, as they did, but prison officers were hamstrung by the 1982 amendments to the law, which they came to believe was unconstitutional.
In order to settle the question of unconstitutionality, the then Attorney General, Adriel Brathwaite, suggested that the officers should take the matter to court to have the matter settled. When the case was filed, certain persons in the prison, who were convinced of the officers case and who did not want to see their power reduced, started to make life extremely difficult for the officers who approached the court in a representative manner.
In Browne’s personal case, he was interviewed for the post of Orderly Officer and was placed on a priority list. When his time for appointment came he was superseded despite the provisions of the Public Service Act. He went to court and was vindicated. As a result, the High Court made certain orders that so far the Government has refused to implement.
Gabriel, how is Browne a villain in these circumstances.
Gabriel is intent on abusing and violating this man’s human rights and also the human rights of bajans in the majority population…these jackasses are the ones who keep a SLAVE SOCIETY ALIVE..on the island…
@ WARU & Caswell
Gabriel is intent on abusing and violating this man’s human rights
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Not necessarily true.
Gabriel probably don’t know this Browne from the other Browne that the nation mixed up his picture with.
Bushie also doubts that he knows Nurse – except in passing.
Gabriel is quite simply a BLP yardfowl.
When the DLP was doing shiite, Gabriel made outstandingly valid, principled contributions here on BU.
We all thought that these positions were built on the PRINCIPLE of rightness.
This change in government now allows us to identify the TRUE basis of his contributions
– the PRINCIPLE of BLP self-interest.
Gabriel is not alone.
Prodigal Son was among other outstandingly principled defenders of what was ‘right’ – when the DLP was doing shiite.
It is now CLEAR to Bushie that if the DLP had turned out to be a righteous government, then these bloggers would have been cussing and insulting them – like we have seen with some DEFENDERS of the shiitehound party-interests.
The MOST IMPRESSIVE thing about BU to Bushie has been the UNEXPECTEDLY large number of persons whose PRINCIPLES have transcended that of the political shiitehounds we have been cursed with.
Caswell stands out for his PUBLIC, high-profile stances….. but Piece, Artax, WARU, Donna, SSS, and so many others here have been able to base their positions on RIGHTEOUS PRINCIPLES, that Bushie is almost tempted to think that we have a chance of survival…
Most of all of course, Blogmaster David has been a paragon of virtue and principle
– even when he allows his optimism to cloud reality…
BU is EASILY the most EDUCATIONAL entity to have impacted Barbados in the last decade,
HOWEVER, unless these principled persons take a stand to influence NATIONAL policy, we will ALL end up in the plimplers….
@Bush Tea
You need to stop!
Praising people for taking a principled stand?
Where is the logic in it.
LOL @ David
Is that an order…?
Have you ever checked a gardener who just cut a lawn?
…after brutalising the grass – both good grass and weeds – with the whacker,
one is able to look back at the nice lawn with admiration…
Of course you done KNOW that some shiite devil grass ( Maripoka Cynodon dactylon)
will quickly raise its brass bowl head to spoil the perfect picture….
But the whacker is always ready and waiting…
LOL
ha ha ha
caswell,
What you say makes perfect sense and though I don’t have your insider knowledge what I do know is human nature. A military man would obviously carry his military style into his non-military workplace. The reports I have read from the beginning of his tenure clearly confirm this.
My foolish questions are –
Why is no-one being held to account for ignoring the orders of the Court?
and
Why should the boys on the block that get sent up to Dodds respect authority?
and
Why should the prison officers respect authority?
If Gabriel wants to speak about anarchy he should speak to that.
Bushie,
There are many others like us. They just need to be activated.
Redguard,
Aren’t you capable of following through on your suggestions?
Just asking!
