When the Mottley led BLP were in opposition, startling revelations by them suggested that the then DLP Stuart led government was corrupt, dishonest, and happily kept silent on important matters that should have engaged the public’s interest.
Mottley, agitated by the sequence of disturbing events unfolding under Stuart and his team, fought to have a moral basis established in Barbados politics. She pursued this basis by first tabling a move to have the then speaker of the house, Michael Carrington resign on grounds that his action in a money matter involving an elderly gentleman was unethical and immoral. So incensed was she, that several walking out of parliament became the protest action norm against this obvious condoning of inappropriate conduct.
She furthered her quest for moral politics by bringing the integrity of Freundel Stuart into the spot light. Stuart who wanted persons to believe that he was honest and upright, lied to the Barbadian people when he said he was unaware of the doings in the Cahill deal, when he had signed of on it many months before.
Fast forwarding to the Mia Amor Mottley who is now Prime Minister of Barbados, we are left to wonder what happened to that ethical and moral compass she brought to bear against Stuart and his DLP colleagues. A compass that many felt would be the change that Barbadians long for. Unfortunately, it was short lived.
For starters, there are serious accusations against two of Mottley ministers in the form of Payne and Marshall that have not once been addressed by her. If Carrington’s action was unethical, then any claims concerning inappropriateness by two ministers should have brought her moral compass to bear down on them.
Then there is the matter of her bloated cabinet versus those struggling civil servants sent home as the sacrificial few to keep the whole intact. Why only the bottom and not the top. Certainly this is ground to bring your ethical compass to forefront of things and show Barbadians that you everyone must make sacrifices including the top.
Then there is the tweaking of the constitution to accommodate two friends, but no investigations launch into the financial issues surrounding those of the Democratic Labour Party accused of corruption. Or. no quick move to have legislation put in place to deal with minister corruption, collusion, and wheel and deal.
The SSS has frequently stated that Mottley is a rogue and if she is to believed, otherwise, it certainly cannot be proven when she wants to bestow upon her father a knighthood that is not deserving at this time.

What is the matter?
I’ve never “seen” you in this mood before?
While you’re at it exposing the liars……….how about exposing the hypocrites as well?

Home News Arthur: I didn’t…
Arthur: I didn’t approve tax waivers
ALEX DOWNES, alexdownes@nationnews.com
Added 14 May 2018
Former Prime Minister Owen Arthur.
Former Prime Minister Owen Arthur has confirmed that Elliott Mottley, father of Barbados Labour Party (BLP) leader Mia Mottley, did apply for a tax waiver.
Emotional Mottley breaks down in…
PM being “best friend” to the Bees…
In the same breath, however, Arthur has maintained that he denied approving any such waiver and also left it up to the BLP leader to clear the air.
Arthur was speaking yesterday during a Press conference at Barbados Today in Lodge Hill, St Michael, as he responded to statements made by Prime Minister Freundel Stuart on Sunday night.
“I am in a position to say that I am aware of the fact that Miss Mottley’s father would have applied to me for a waiver of the tax,” he said.
Arthur noted that ministers of finance reserved the right to waive a tax with the approval of Cabinet on the condition the matter was also taken to Parliament and approved at that level.
While denying his approval of such an event, Arthur explained he could not confirm if the waiver took place behind his back, as Stuart suggested.
“Elliott Deighton Mottley had two judgments lodged against him for monies due and owing to the Income Tax Department upwards of $1 million
Hello, Artax!
Don’t tell me you too have put on a stuffed shirt????/
Who has determined that shite is a foul word? God or man?
I will not dignify obvious shite by debating it.
I will not play political games when the very lives of the people of Barbados are at stake.
This is a change or die situation for many Barbadians.
II hope you are not falling into the common fallacy that it is more sinful to name the shite rather than to actually do it.
I have already admitted to being the proud granddaughter of a very smart and independent fisherman.
You notice whom Christ called first – the fisherman. They would be more inclined to call shite shite. He took them out to speak TRUTH to the greedy, duplicitous, power hungry, double dealing hypocritical powers that be.
So… you mentioned hypocrites. When I find them I will expose them.
“I will not play political games when the very lives of the people of Barbados are at stake.”
I wish BU bloggers and the Barbados populi as a whole understand that this is the REALITY…in real time..
Your leaders are BRAIN DEAD AND CORRUPT…they still. believe they can GET AWAY WITH SHITE..at your, your children, grandchildren and future generation’s EXPENSE.
One only has to look and examine the games they are not playing with the people, post election, to see where all this is headed.
“This is a change or die situation for many Barbadians.”
pretty much…all the demons from UK…to everywhere…. are lining up accordingly..
Mariposa @ 9:16 a.m.
Thank you very much.
Pay particular attention to the last sentence in that post : ” Elliot Mottley had two judgements lodged against him for monies due and owing to the Income Tax upwards of 1 million.
I think that there alone qualifies him for an award of a Shitehood – don’t you think ?
@ Donna the Esteemed…
It is indeed a great day when another soldier rises up from the roots that has become Barbados and says “No More”
And this is precisely the thing that has been happening here on Barbados Underground and which has moved from a spark to a full fledged flame
You said and I quote
“…I will not play political games when the very lives of the people of Barbados are at stake.
This is a change or die situation for many Barbadians…”
This is change or die for all Barbadians!!!
The Despotic Ambitions and Plans of Mugabe Mottley CANNOT AND WILL NOT BE STOPPED BY SILENCE.
To remain silent is to die.
It is apparent now to many Bajans where Mia Amor Mottley is going.
It is a place where a few of us knew she was going, EVEN BEFORE SHE STARTED and warned ALL OF YOU ABOUT, but no one had the balls to fight
There IS ONE MORE METHOD TO FIGHT MUGABE MOTTLEY PRIOR TO 2023.
IF THAT NATIONAL DEFECTION IS NOT DONE & DONE SOON, BARBADOS WILL BECOME A DICTATORSHIP!!!
If your voices and feelings are not broadcast AND IF, LIKE YOU, YOU REFUSE TO FOLLOW THE SCRIPT OF THESE BANES TO COMMON SENSE, then the battle is already lost.
DO NOT PAUSE FOR ONE MOMENT DONNA, your son’s existence and personal liberty depends on it
@ the Honourable Blogmaster your assistance please with an item for Donna
One only has to look and examine the games they are NOW playing with the people, post election, to see where all this is headed.
Agree T. Inniss now Eliott wants to turn the matter into a hot ball of wax which might turn against him when the truth is exposed
Notice how silent David and the blp gangsters are on this story
Remember David as of recent run headfirst to state Mottley version of the facts but remains silent on the printed version of what OSA told the media
But at least David did point out to that Blp Agent ‘needing common sense’ who was sent on the blog – that the waiver and the award were not good optics.
Hopefully it is a start that we will see more of.
Mariposa can you get Stuart bloodline speech he gave on the platform in Waterford ?
I tried looking but have not been able to locate it.
So typical..they ignore JUDGEMENTS from the JUDGES at the supreme court because they believe they are entitled to ignore judges…..and just do whatever pleases and benefits them..
remember fraudulent Fruendolittle and the tiefer of the house Carrington..
..Justice Cornelius..who was appointed by the same useless DLP…made a judgement that the elderly wheelchair bound man should have his property and money returned to him by the tiefing lawyer…a judgement for christ sake…
…..and what does fraudulent fruendolittle…a PRIME MINISTER and LAWYER. tell THE THIEF…….not, pay the money immediately..oh no…he told him get a lawyer..just to TORMENT that elderly man for many more years to steal his popety and ALL his money…that is what you get from government ministers and lawyers in Barbados.
..DEPRAVED INDIFFERENCE…..as it relates to the majority population and their human rights..
Fruendolittle told him get a lawyer..just to TORMENT that elderly man for many more years ..AND HOPE AND PRAY THAT HE DIES…to steal his PROPERTY and ALL his money…
So just imagine what Mia et al will be telling their fellow lowlifes…eg…the theft of estates from beneficiaries and their offspring…like the Jackie Stewart matter that cannot even go into the supreme court because the lawyers AND THEIR BUDDY THE JUDGE…. ALREADY used the supreme court to TIEF THE ESTATE……from her mother…and sell a portion of it and pocketed the damn money…cause the beneficiary did not receive any money, gave no approval for the sale, did not even know her property was sold by 2 lawyers/now government ministers..
I wonder if it has occurred to any of these LEARNED ATTORNEYS…just HOW that shite they do to vulnerable, unaware elderly people AND their LIVING beneficiaries…WILL RETURN TO BITE THEM ALL..
Mottley arrogance shines boldly in this matter even in the face of evidence which shows he did not pay over a million dollars in taxes and accumulated penalties
In so much thst he is willing to risk further unethical practices attached to his name if this matter is brought to the court
Piece I am just tired of Barbados going round in circles. Mia promised change and asked us to give her the vote and watch her.
I upheld my end of the bargain. I, like most Barbadians were afraid to vote for any other party because they feared spitting the vote thereby leaving the door open for the failed government of the DLP. They were not about to change without any incentive. A return to power would have DEFINITELY sent them the wrong message. We hoped and prayed that the BLP realized that the fatted calf was starving and the golden goose was too old to lay. We hoped common sense would dictate that they would at least wait until the cow was fed and we had raised a new goose before arrogance set in again.
I am watching but all I see so far is the same arrogant attitude that we voted out. That knighthood thing speaks to ATTITUDE. ATTITUDE is the most important indicator of future actions.
Employers always look to attitude as an indicator for a good hire. We have hired these servants and their attitude so far sucks!
But these BLP agents want to fool me that attitude is irrelevant. Attitude is EVERYTHING!
That is me at 7:45!
It is now up to them to prove me wrong. They will achieve the opposite by sending jackasses to shite on BU.
‘Politics is a blood sport.” Thus says Prodigal on another thread.
But governing should be no game. I am NOT playing.
Is governing for them also a blood sport?
In the name of Common Sense
I now get back here.
You have not answered my questions, so I am asking you again.
A) Those persons who have not paid millions of dollars in taxes but are forgiven (according to Caswell Franklyn’s account) by legislation pass to help them breathe much easier is Mia’s way of handling a long-term wrong. Was she right to do this knowing full well that Barbados needs the money and that some of the situations involving some business persons not paying taxes were a result of the close relationships they share with politicians on both sides?
B) Will Mia Mottley launch serious investigations into the wrongdoings of the DLP? Will she follow up on her PAC report or provide more teeth for the PAC to go after government ministers who break the financial rules. For example, will we see former Ministers, Lashley, Kellman, and Sinckler summons to hearings to testify about certain undesirable financial practices?
C) What is stopping Mia from rushing through legislation (just like she did for matters important to her) that would allow Ministers to be held accountable for their actions, Freedom of Information, Whistleblower legislation, and giving the Auditor General the type of muscle that would allow him to go further instead of mere reporting?
Those were the three questions I wanted you to answer. I waiting again.
Waru
You made some good points. The BLP got kicked out for their arrogance and the fact that several of their ministers were accused of doing just what Donville, Michael, Chris, Dennis by two equals Low Lowe and others were doing. Already we have a hint of what is to come with this BLP administration when Glyne Clarke declared in the midst of an economic mess that he wants more salary. The BLP ain’t no white linens, and this masking of their wolves under all the rhetoric will be removed very soon to show their true colours. I bet you that if any of Mia ministers are accused of being on the take that she ain’t going to do one shite with none of them. Lord, let the rogue prove me wrong. I want so much to be wrong!
I read with a level of fascination the comments above from WARU, Donna, T Inniss and others. It is a change or die moment Donna. We in this country were presented that change or die proposal in May last year, but it still exists albeit in a different form. Barbadians must decide whether they want to make a paradigm shift from how we’ve always done it (which has gotten us far but not far enough), a change in the mentality of Bajans in the second half of the first century of independent Barbados’ history; do we want to shed those bad things about us – gossiping, laziness, entitlements etc. – or do we want to die as a country. That is the challenge. In May we decided that the only way to live was to change to the BLP and Mottley. In January today the only way to get back to prosperity and then develop as a nation is to change our had habits and get on board with the Government. If as you say you voted for the BLP in the last election I would think you did that for a reason. And I believe that reason is that you felt Mottley and her team were capable of doing that which needed to be done. She has done so far what needed to be done and she has more to do as do us all. So let us not be distracted by trivial matters. What we face is too great an existential challenge to allow for division and downright wutlessness. The Queens New Years Honours is an annual thing that requires a name. You all profess to be opposed to it so who gives a damn who receives an award that you so obviously dislike? As I’ve said time and again this matter and those other trivia do not change the facts. We need unity now, not people trying their earnest to put hurdles and cry down the government when strides are being made in the right direction. When mistakes are made criticize, when right is done commend. But there is no room for the blood sport of slander, gossip and vulgarity. The mission is too great. It is about the future of Barbadian generations not about you, Donna or WARU or me or Mottley or Atherley or any of us.
Donna
I like what you are saying, girl. It is not that I am opposed to the honour; it is just the timing under a set of circumstances that presents itself as a slap in the face of bajans. You just sent a few hundred civil servants packing, you tell them their sacrifice will not be in vain, then you bestow a royalty upon your father! You mean you could not give yourself two years into your term as PM to do so, but six months after bajans decided for you at the polls. I am not prepared to entertain this rogue in her sweet sounding rhetoric and be bamboozled by pretty sounding things. Caswell is right to call her out on these several bothersome decisions of hers.
@ SSS
I have answered your question but if you’d like me to reiterate I’d be happy to.
Firstly, tax write off were given for a period of 32 years (1968-2000). This decision was recommended by BRA as the taxes accumulated in that period were accrued by persons many of whom may no longer be with us and the cost of going after defaulters from that period would be futile as so much time had elapsed. To say that a whole host of people owing taxes were given a write off to accommodate a few is handy perversion of the truth for Franklyn and I suspect you too.
Finally, I am not a member of the Cabinet of Barbados nor am I the Cabinet Secretary or some similarly senior civil servant with knowledge of these things nor do I counsel the PM of Barbados. So I can’t tell you when or if she is going to go after these corrupt people you mentioned. What I can say is that criminal investigations (1) take time [the Americans just didn’t wake up on May 25th and decide to investigate Donville] and (2) investigations are to be handled by the independent police force not by the political directorate. Additionally if any member of the former Administration is charged with corruption, he would have to be charged under the existing Prevention of Corruption Act of 1920 the punishment for which is a few hundred dollars. So to charge them before the new laws are passed is mute. As it relates to the Integrity legislation, it is my considered opinion that that shouldn’t be rushed through but instead should attract as much engagement as possible with the experts and the general public to create the best document possible.
I hope I won’t have to respond to the same questions again.
The challenge is not to be found in your response. It has to do with the high level of cynicism and apathy that exist in the population.
This is why the decision to award a knighthood to her father does not help!
“So to charge them before the new laws are passed is mute. ”
No..it’s not MOOT…
….ya nuisance AG …already hinted ERRONEOUSLY….and WITH GREAT DECEIT….that he cannot make the new laws RETROACTIVE..WHICH IS A boldfaced lie…
…….plus the CROOKS …himself included, DRAFTED the integrity legislation already AND drafted in a 2 YEAR STATUTE OF LIMITATIONS……INSTEAD of the 15 ….. or 20 year statute of limitations that would clean up all the thefts, bribery and corruption in the parliament, judiciary, treasury and pension fund..
so as usual…ya are merely full of shit..
plus there ALREADY EXISTS…money laundering, thefts and other laws that could lock up thieving DLP exministers…
besides…where is the RED BAG OF EVIDENCE Mia was waving around pre and post election that she had PROOF OF CORRUPTION….
….wuh with evidence there is no need for any long drawn out investigation…
Yes Donna
GOVERNING FOR MUGABE MOTTLEY IS A BLOOD SPORT!
BUT if more people like you get up and speak out openly they will either do one of two things.
KILL YOU OR CHARACTER ASSASINATE YOU OR FIRE YOU FROM YOUR JOB DONNA.
This Mugabe DOES NOT BREACH DISSENT, so be aware of where they are going to go.
Here is the thing Donna.
I going die! As will you, and so will Mugabe! And Sir Mugabe too, Of that we can each be sure.
Lately I have been encountering some strange things one of which I will share with you.
Do you know Izola Ware Curry? I know you dont but as part of an upcoming MLK event I have been tasked to find a person who impacted the life of Martin Luther King and de ole man chose her
Why Curry you would ask.
Because of the physical proximity to death that she occasioned Martin Luther King, that blade a sneeze from his aorta.
Yet, even though he was always in danger, he persevered
And it makes you realise that you could easily quit AND BE LIKE THE REST and lick ***
But at the end of the day, you cant do what they do, and look yourself in a mirror or look your son in his face
@ David
Respectfully, I don’t know if we live in two different countries because I don’t see a “high level of cynicism and apathy” existing among the majority of the population. From what I’ve seen, the vast majority of people in this country understand the points that I’ve been trying to make and are willing to give the Government a chance and then judge them in a few years time. Additionally, my pulse of public opinion suggests that the vast majority of Bajans also don’t particularly care about the awarding of the knighthood and are certainly not reading into it what persons on this chat room are.
@ the Honourable Blogmaster
You can say what you said at 4.06pm to the Bane of Common Sense and sheeple of his ilk, 100 times AND IT WILL NOT MAKE A DIFFERENCE
I had blogged an item for Donna about Izola Curry and would much appreciate it if you could retrieve it thank you
@inthenameof#
I must ask, what has stopped the formation of a “Corruption Unit” within the relevant investigative body? I note the appointment of several other gurus in the area of communication, finance etc etc, yet Corruption is being ducked, such that persons as yourself can offer up ‘takes time’. (delay) And whenever the time comes, with no person or unit “in charge”, there will be no person to answer directly for the progress made/not made.
With tag lines like “The mission is too great. It is about the future of Barbadian generations not about you…..or any of us.”, the most overused line, particularly concluding line. by speech writers.
This isn’t solely about a few elected persons, the rot has spread far and wide. So let’s wait for a thorough review of Integrity Legislation (another delay), and hope full engagement takes it through to a few weeks prior to the next election?
“And it makes you realise that you could easily quit AND BE LIKE THE REST and lick ***”
they are indeed REPULSIVE…..and many DEGREES removed from REALITY…both them and the HUMAN GARBAGE they worship.
“So let’s wait for a thorough review of Integrity Legislation (another delay), and hope full engagement takes it through to a few weeks prior to the next election?”
ya done know, they are looking at every little opening, searching out ever lie they think they can use to fool who they can..,..looking for EVERY EXCUSE…that they think will sound good…creating every delay they think will fly….to JUSTIFY why they CAN’T lock up those who robbed the treasury and pension fund….and return the money to the people…just watch..them.
from I heard the barrel of lies coming from Marshall and that was about 2 months after the election…I knew they were trying to get out of all the LIES they told BEFORE the election to get themselves elected,,,
….. not only their feet, but their WHOLE LYING BODIES…should be held to the fire..
And as Piece knows so well ..the scum OF the earth will HATE you…FOR NOT BELIEVING THEIR LIES.
Piece I gave you a suggestion on another blog which you did not reply to,so I repeat .Since you are of the view that this Government is a one term Government bring the alternative ,The Dems dead and buried in my view ,the UPP will not win anything or Solutions with the current leaders and your shite theory of floor crossing has not yet come to pass,therefore my suggestion to you is to form your own Party.You have four years plus and you can call it the Mugabe Haters Party,or the Daily Drivel Party or even the Conspiracy Theorist Party and could bring along the know alls,Waru.Donna,SSS,Mariposa ,T Inniss,,Gazzerts ,with inputs from Bush Tea,Hal Austin,and Sargeant.Perhaps you can get the grandson to do a catoon lauch on BU for you.This way you will be in the public domain,instead of hiding on BU.I can already predict how this will turn out in 2023,the ball in your court.
@ Lorenzo,
An alternative to a new party is a change of direction of the BLP, with the removal of Mottley as leader. Remember Thatcher/Heath, Macmillan/Home, Wilson/Callaghan, Blair/Brown, Brown/Miliband, Miliband/Corbyn, etc. Parties can change direction, we had it even in the old Soviet Union.
In the nane of Common Sense u cant convince any one that govt giving huge tax waivers to individuals ..groups ..organizations or businesses were the correct way to go especially when a method for proper collection of these taxes owed were flawed or non existent
Take for e.gMottley father why did govt not place a lien / liens on something that he owned of personnel value like a home
Why was he allowed to disregard with arrogance and a sense of entilement to thumb his nose at the process and in the final analysis be given huge tax waivers
Bushtea mah man…ya back on the LIST…lol
@ Hal Austin
You do realize that all of the examples you have ended in failure (Corbyn is still present day but will not likely succeed).
Heath, a one term PM
Douglas-Home, a one year PM
Callaghan, lost a no confidence motion
Brown, lost an election after expenses scandal
Miliband lost an election which he could have won
It is not in the interest of the Labour Party to get rid of Mottley until she wants to go. As far as I can tell Mia Mottley will be the PM of Barbados for two terms followed by the next leader of the BLP for at least a term perhaps two.
@ Mariposa
I have addressed the tax write off issue too many times. Please find my earlier response where I lay out the rationale behind the BRA recommending those write offs (note that I said BRA). I think you will find it had little to do with personalities, as BRA is not as concerned about them as many bloggers on BU.
Oh dear they are double tagging de ole man. Bane and Nameless One #2
Heheheh
@ the 2nd of the Nameless ones
And as I answered you then on the I will try to answer you now again.
You seem to be a slow learner though.
But here is a quotation from Brother in Arms Bush Tea who puts your ensuing behaviour in the spotlights when he said
And I quote
“…Bushie feels that this is serious…so…Look for Lorenzo to cuss us black and white…”
He then sagely continues…
“…and for more newby bloggers with shiite names [ THAT IS THE BANE OF COMMON SENSE] to appear on the unimportant BU blog….”
And true to form, you turned up to cuss us all and your new Mugabe Defence Force member pops up to shoot off his weapon.
Heheheh or as Bush Tea said LOL
The newbies just keep making idiots of themselves….the corruption has been ALIVE MUCH LONGER than any of them…so everything will be lost in translation..to them..
@ Common Sense,
I have suggested to you to do some more reading and thinking. A leader is challenged, or even removed, because of a perception of failure. Mottley is already wobbling it is just a matter of how long it takes to declare her BERT a failure. It will fail because it is economic nonsense.
What is BERT as an economic policy? We know about the default; we know about the widespread sackings; we know about the rebates and tax waivers; what is next?
In the name of Common sense what you have not adressed is how govt did not have a policy in place wherby it can confiscate legally personnel property or place a lien on property by those who refused to pay what is owed to govt
If (so) having a policy why was it not enforced to safe guard and collect govt revenue by those tax cheaters
The Mottley issue tells a story of an inaction by govt to penalise the high and mighty and in return rewards them with millions of govt revenue
Your approach to sweep such an important issue under the rug is one which should not be tolerated ir condone
@ Hal
How can you describe BERT as a failure? It has fulfilled all of its objectives and checkpoints so far and my understanding is that it is on it’s way to continue doing so. It has been formulated by some of the foremost economic minds in Barbados. At this moment it’s the only viable option on the table. I don’t hear a lot of economic policy debate coming from BU, just personality politics. Many BU bloggers seem to be in the business of only trashing the program, come up with your own alternative. Or would you have rathered the Government do the tried and tested method of the Dems (I.e. fail in every way) or perhaps do a Phillip advocates and make govt ISO9001 and that’ll be the panacea to solve all our problems? BERT is the only way. Spreading the burden is the only way. It has been spread to workers (lay offs and by the same token wage increases), investors (default), even tourists. It is the fairest way.
We await the next round of …BLAME DLP..

Piece you like you is the slow learner ,I gave you a challenge and you telling me about Bush Tea.Take up the challenge with your know all group nad remove Mugabe in 2023.All of of sudden you shifting and ducking.Man up to the challenge and show us you are more than shite talk and conspiracy theories or as Enuff says cut and paste artistes.Anyone could hide on BU and talk shite.There is nothing stopping from going forward instead of hoping ,Solutions or another Party comes to ypur assistance.
@ the Bane of Common Sense
You are most assuredly correct in your bullet points
1.Spreading the burden [TO THE UNFORTUNATE MASSES] is the only way [THAT CORRUPT POLITICIANS LIKE US CONSIDERED.
2.Indeed [AS OPPOSED TO FIRING OR RETIRJNG BIG UP MANANSGEMENT] It [THE PLAGUE] has been spread to [LOW PAID ] workers [ WHERE WE ] (lay offs S13 workers and
3.by the same token effected wage increases for ourselves),
4.[RIPPED OFF SOVEREIGN] investors (default),
5.[AND ARE NOW FVCKING] even THE tourists.
It is the UNfairest way BUT A BOLD WAY TO BULL ALL OF WUNNA AT THE SAME TIME
http://imgur.com/PHp1SME
@ Piece
Yours is an unseasoned analysis of the facts.
Firstly and foremost, a pay increase was not given to MPs it was given to all civil servants. As a result, many S class public servants (and parliamentarians) have been severely impacted by the new 40% income band.
Secondly, the vast majority of Cabinet ministers took a pay cut to serve their country (with the exception of a few). So yes I would agree that they do care for all Bajans and for the welfare of Barbados. They certainly show it financially.
Finally, as I said you can criticize the plan all you want. Bring an alternative! Do you know anyway to get us out of the mess we’re in now without sending home workers (an exercise that was contained to as few as possible), adding some taxes (that affect everyone from ordinary folk to tourists to millionaires), working out a debt restructuring program (in record time)?
Tell the truth for once Piece, there was no other way.
Have the water been tested at Worthington beach and surrounding coastal areas
https://barbadostoday.bb/2019/01/07/tourist-dies-on-enterprise-beach/
“Firstly and foremost, a pay increase was not given to MPs it was given to all civil servants. As a result, many S class public servants (and parliamentarians) have been severely impacted by the new 40% income band.”
Probably the one place in the world where you get an increase in pay and take home less money…
The tax rate are done “igrumtly”
Wunna gun kill me
@piece
You are employing people and don’t know.
It looks like Corporal Lorenzo of the MDF has been assigned the task of controlling and containing you,
@Bane
“u all profess to be opposed to it so who gives a damn who receives an award that you so obviously dislike? As I’ve said time and again this matter and those other trivia do not change the facts.”
Now you would reduce the concern of the people and the arrogance/bold faceness of Mia as trivial.
@Bane
” What I can say is that criminal investigations (1) take time ….. best document possible.”
A long paragraph but istsays absolutely nothing. You are ;like a medicine man distributing placebo, but the patient is aching? Do you have any timeline or will we be here in 2023 asking about investigations, integrity legislation, Donville and GPayne?
Get any foolish ideas in ya head to return to the island permanently and ya will really get to say they will kill you…..lol
When the electorate sees YEAR 3 and YEAR FOUR..arrives..and they are still getting LONG TALK from Mia.
…….dont mind the fools on BU defending ministers …. yardfowls don’t count..
…….when ya see the LIES told to the people in 2018 to be ELECTED..DO NOT MATERIALIZE and CANNOT.. be turned into ACTION…and the FALSE PROMISES MADE TO THE PEOPLE GROWS some long, long legs…by 2022……and start to walk around the island…
wuhloss!!!!
ah already reserving a FRONT ROW SEAT….if life be spared…. cause contrary to what ministers think about life expectancy…with their Lala land mentalities…there are NO guarantees..not even for them…
Was that for me? I am building a home in the Caribbean…
Gonna try to get myself a prime piece of beach front property from GPayne
Wondering if SV would go there now…
Mia can take a bow.
The assignment has been completed and the objective achieved.
Well,well,well.
Barbados has too many taxes. My friend who is 80, recently went home for her sisters funeral. She stayed at a hotel in Maxwell. When she was checking out, she was slapped with an unexpected $75 US hotel tax for seven days. The desk clerk said it was something new that the new Muttley government imposed. At the airport she was slapped with another $75 US. She phoned a lawyer and put her land on the market. She is not planning to return, too many taxes.
She said at the hotel, some British tourists were surprised at the extra charge and some did not have the $$$ to pay, so one in the group used their card to cover for them. Welcome to the land of taxes. This winter I am vacationing in the Bahamas and in the Fall it will be St. Lucia.
This place is a mess. So many rushed and half baked decisions all falling flat – some having to go back to the drawing board.
Case in point, these poverty stricken Haitians landing on our shores and seeking work without the requisite documentation – and not being able to feed themselves – and now being a charge on the public purse.
A direct breach of one of the Immigration policy (being a charge on the Public Purse) which must be observed – CSME or no CSME. But a lot of these Haitians still got through – and some even escaped the Immigration holding cell at the Airport.
I well remember the much maligned Mariposa among others pointing out that the removal of the visa requirements for Haitians would cause a rush to this country by these individuals – who have been knocking on the doors of Jamaica,Guyana etc. for a while now.
The know it all BLP operatives laughed her to scorn saying Haitians flee by boat and islands like Martinique ,Guadeloupe etc are closer and a more desirable choice for the Haitians – since they speak French or creole.
Mottley looking for applause from CARICOM leaders and egged on by Commisiong – made a big song and dance about levelling the playing field for our Haitian brothers and sisters – which although idealistic and grand sounding was not rooted in practicality.
So now as was to be expected by any one who read the regional and international news – non English speaking Haitians are arriving by plane AND NOT BY BOAT – some being let in for the automatic 6 months -( that 6 months automatic entry to CARICOM citizens in itself is the most idiotic decision) – and some of the hatians who were obviously without financial means were sent back.
What a thing nuh.
You go girl – Mottley – your yardfowls, hangers -on and opportunists are behind you.
I shudder when I read what Artax reported is taking place at the Fairchild Street Market. I was not fully aware of some of what he mentioned – but once again we have Politicians making decisions without carefully thinking through the impact of these decisions
I am seeing if we are not careful – this wonderful image as an upmarket Tourist Destination being completely erased.
The piles of Garbage on the street,the unsightly illegal bars and stalls in Fairchild street old market that Artax spoke about,the squatting and building of shacks by non nationals so close to our Airport at that site in Rock Hall St Phillip.
I really pray that one day coming soon – we will get Politicians with vision, who are not unethical and overwhelmed by greed.Persons who would understand that though there is no law saying you can not for example give your father a Shitehood,or allow the waiver of over a million dollars in taxes – there are something that are just so unseemly and vulgar that you don’t even contemplate them – far less bring them to fruition.
Integrity legislation being enacted by Politicians without integrity.
Mariposa
Thanks for the link.I almost missed your post.
Here is another back tracking by this government.
A.G. Dale Marshall is now saying that Govt’s decision to appoint 3 additional Judges to help with the backlog of the Courts have now been put on Hold.
Add that to another of the rushed decisions that have been announced before the situation has been fully assessed and preparations made.
Wuhloss.

@Dame Bajans
Congratulations on your recent elevation to the ranks of nobility, your award slipped under the radar and was not subject to oversight by many of the riff raff on the blog.
I would like to remind you that as a citizen of Canada you are subject to the “Nickle Resolution” which prohibit Canadian citizens from accepting titles conferred by foreign monarchs. You can join other luminaries e.g. Baron Black of Crossharbour in challenging this resolution or alternately renounce Canadian citizenship and move permanently to Barbados.
PS The title will wear well with the hoity toity at Polo matches.
The Political Class is comprised of mainly lawyers.
Bajan lawyers are known for their criminal activities.
They are the Govt, so therefore the Govt of Barbados is run like a criminal organization.
Which part you folks don’t understand?
Wunna could rant & rave , but at the end of the day criminals running this place.
@ the the Nameless Ones #2
You do know that I already answered you on another blog, ther one where you first asked the same questions so I ent going answer you again
But what i going do is give you a Stoopid Cartoon that should satisfy your queries.
I would appreciate it if you would review it and then give me some insights as to the calibre of politicians that I should choose to accompany me on the podium with the Patriots Party of Barbados.
https://i.imgur.com/VdqgyzN.png
Observe the 4 faces of the persons in the Cartoon and their respective recent appearances in the news either (i) begging for more money (ii) tekking more jobs to get more money (iii) claiming to have won a court case to justify more money or (iv) bilking an old woman for maintenance fees to secure more money
Tek you time with your answers.

You do realize that bajans all over the island really vex bout this Sir Mugabe Award.
So then it is true what dem say bout Daddy? well it really going look bad when…
In a way we understand certain actions BUT DE OPTICS MAN, DE OPTICS.
Oh by the way, AFTER YOUR OUTBURST & DISPLAY OF SUCH BAD MANNERS, de first time pun de blog, after your shake down by Mugabe, i see that you rebound and now you is de epitome of good manners heheheheheh
You greeting everybody wid good salutations, and speaking the Queens English, and using salve magister and ting.
Man efing I din know better I would swear dat you was *** heself heheheheheh
But dat display de first day that you was heah is a permanent record of your behaviour towards the women of BU and, while all uh we is male chauvanist pigs, you is a new feller and you tek liberties wid de ladies AND DEM ENT GOING FORGET YOU FOR DAT and neider is some uh we
Keep on singing for your supper or singing so that your underlings cant get paid given the bad work dem was doing here.
In the name of Common Sense
Thank you for answering, you have to forgive me, as you would have known by now that the SSS is an ‘idiot’ and that the type of politics played out on a daily basis in Barbados is above my intellectual ability to comprehend.
Case in point. Firstly, tax write off were given for a period of 32 years (1968-2000). This decision was recommended by BRA as the taxes accumulated in that period were accrued by persons many of whom may no longer be with us and the cost of going after defaulters from that period would be futile as so much time had elapsed. To say that a whole host of people owing taxes were given a write off to accommodate a few is handy perversion of the truth for Franklyn and I suspect you too.
During the period indicated. both parties, the BLP more than the DLP, was happily governing the state of Barbadian affairs without perversion of the truth and assistance to establish business entities. What do I mean by that? The two parties were happily collecting taxes from corporate Barbados and not providing any leniencies or breaks for those who were not paying them- If that was the case, how were these people, and businesses able to accumulate so much unpaid taxes, and who would have consented to the authorities leaving them alone, because it was obvious to me that they were left alone. If you know of any of the parties involved in this perversion and the names of any of the recipients privy to not paying taxes, please inform the unenlightened like ma self so I can see the light and be saved.
The second part of my question that you sought to answer, left me in stitches. Actually, Waru answered it for me so I am not going to bother responding to yours because we know Mia is not going to bring, change, or amend any laws that would put the ‘business interests’ of politicians under the microscope. Even if she seeks to do so, you can already see through Dale Marshals setting of the statute of limitations that there is no intention of seriously dealing with the issue of corruption in Barbados with appropriateness.
And, to the last, any serious government seeking to implement integrity legislation knowing full well that both parties have been hammered for corruption do not need the amount of time that you are referring too. In opposition, both parties hinted the corruption of the next. Ample time by both was mustered for them to draft an integrity bill for presentation and comments. Yet, it is another must wait and see, must solicit the voice of the people in order for it to be suitable, providing the same excuses for doing nothing. Notice how anything that would subject ministers to laws that can finally make the accountable is subjected to ‘bobble and weave’. Serious approach, nah?
Anyhow, thank you for responding.

“and de horn dat *** give ***.”
lol, lol..
….”but at the end of the day criminals running this place.”
pretty much…but at the end of the day, criminals HATE being exposed, it puts their criminal organization and criminal activities at RISK…these are not the brightest criminals…none of them in Parliament…not when people know…ALL THEIR CRIMINAL ACTIVITIES…and WILL…expose every activity going forward…
They are no longer SOLELY dealing with and lording it one OVER the vulnerable whom they have all PREYED on for decades…like the evil PREDATORS that they are….they are now forced to deal with those who can THINK FOR THEMSELVES…OUTTHINK them and EXPOSE THEM.
“A.G. Dale Marshall is now saying that Govt’s decision to appoint 3 additional Judges to help with the backlog of the Courts have now been put on Hold.”
you obviously missed the most important part where taxpayers 200 thousand a MONTH..has been paying RENT at Manor Lodge…..SINCE MAY or JUNE….yet not one civil case has been heard or completed at that location….in all those months….that is what should anger taxpayers….not one case completed fo their 200K per month….
..and ya do not need jail cells to complete civil cases and get them out of the system…but RETARDED Marshall obviously can’t see that…nor does he care.
….that is what happens when the only thing you know how to do is THIEF from old people AND LIE..to everyone.
@ Common Sense,
You say BERT was formulated by some o the foremost economic minds in Barbados. I rest my case.
“The piles of Garbage on the street, the unsightly illegal bars and stalls in Fairchild street old market that Artax spoke about, the squatting and building of shacks by nonnationals so close to our Airport at that site in Rock Hall St Phillip.”
I believe we should be FAIR when expressing our comments or criticisms.
Lest I’m ACCUSED of DEFENDING Mottley by the RESIDENT “ACCUSER”………to be FAIR…… you cannot attribute the situations you highlighted above to this current BLP administration.
The situation at the old Fairchild Street Market compound occurred under the previous DLP administration. The following link will provide you with the relevant information.
https://barbadosunderground.net/2015/05/18/unfinished-vendor-stalls-at-probyn-street-an-example-of-government-leaking-tax-dollars/
It was not a surprise to note that BU article only attracted 10 comments…….but anything concerning Donald Trump could attract over 300 comments.
David BU’s excuse is a few people living in the US usually comment on Trump. However, the 4 or 5 BU contributors living in the US do not account for the majority of comments.
Also, to be FAIR to the non-nationals squatting on lands in Rock Hall, St. Philip, they are NOT building shacks, but 2 and 3 bedroom houses………… while Barbadians have to rent house spots or face the bank for a mortgages.
The last time government tried to address this concern, a SHAMELESS attorney-at-law, Douglas Trotman, volunteered to provide those illegal non-nationals with legal services. They were bold enough to say the authorities were being unfair to them and if they are forced to move, government would have to provide them with land.
Trotman said “Government can purchase the land, parcel it out, and resell it on more favourable terms to the squatters. That is what a responsible Government would do”
You should note squatting is condoned in Guyana…….and is a problem in Jamaica.
Artax
I was not seeking to suggest that Garbage at Fairchild Street or Squatting was a BLP problem but to highlight where we are right now – that is – this country – Barbados – is a mess .
Successive govts – Bees and Dems – have ignored the squatting at Rock Hall – however there is a history to that where Owen Arthur intervened for the initial squatters to get electricity and water – which resulted in a rush by others to get their free piece of the rock.
Don’t forget Mia promised the Belle Squatters that she will regularize them on that Zone 1 piece of Barbadian property.(Man I tell yuh we in deep doo – doo with politicians who think ONLY of a vote)
The situation at the old Fairchild Market with reference to the unsightly stalls was highlight the harm this unsatisfactory development could do to our Tourism Product.
In summary like I said we need politicians with vision .I am sick of governments making decisions that are influenced only by political expediency – which will result in the long term future of our country being negatively impacted.
Again to be FAIR, many of those Haitians that arrived in Barbados were duped by unscrupulous individuals into believing they were jobs available here.
Although they were granted the mandatory 6 months stay, those Haitians came here with airline tickets that were valid for three (3) weeks and satisfied immigration they had enough resources to cover their living expenses for that period of time.
Their plight came about after they did not find employment and their airline tickets expired.
It should be noted that, in 2008, “scam artists” used posters to advertise jobs were available in Barbados with at pay rate of US$10 per hour and duped several Nigerians and Ghanaians into coming here in search pf those jobs.
What should be of CONCERN is the EASE with which illegal immigrants have been able to ESCAPE the custody of immigration officers. Over the years, several Africans have escaped custody, many of whom were captured in Bridgetown.
There was a time that, despite calls from immigration officials to “turn themselves in,” 16 illegal Africans were being housed by Barbadians.
Artax
I hope you aren’t the last person in Barbados to know that the Immigration Department in Barbados is corupted?
….as I said before if it was guyanese that wanted to go back home there would be no shortage of donations from the bajan public. Lexicon you probably banged a few, get your friends together and help your brothers out.
“Don’t forget Mia promised the Belle Squatters that she will regularize them on that Zone 1 piece of Barbadian property.”
T. Inniss
And the clown that now represents St. John also promised to acquire the land that people in St. John are squatting on.
Lawson
When I lived in Barbados the only West Indians I really was acquainted with were St. Lucians, vincentians, and Dominicans, but I had never met a Jamaican, Guyanese, or a Trinidadian etc until I arrived in the US.
A question for the legal experts –
Do we in Barbados have a law on our books authorizing the confiscation of the proceeds of crime?
If we do then that surely answers the question – what immediate good would it do for Bajan pockets to pursue the corrupt practices of politicians past.
I’m just asking and saying.
As to the pulse of Bajans on this shitehood issue –
I was round and about taking that pulse yesterday in my usual loquacious way. I met only ONE person who defended it by the specious argument that it was the Queen who did the shiting. Well, if the queen did the shiting Mia gave her the laxative. And it STILL STINKS!.
Two Saturdays ago a man stoutly defended Mia and thought me unreasonable for holding her to manifesto
time frames. He disregarded the lies as usual political campaign strategy and urged me to give her the time she has asked for to get the island back in shape. Last Saturday I had to inform him that she had awarded her father a shitehood. His response –
SILENCE.
The laws are ALREADY THERE TO DEAL WITH DLP THIEVES…both past and present, money laundering laws are recent… it is just a matter of making them…RETROACTIVE… to encompass the last 20 years…that is what the CURRENT CROOKS do not want to do…trying to bob and weave to get away from actually doing the right thing…because that timeline falls under all the crimes THEY COMMITTED…while in office under OWEN, the reason why the electorate KICKED THEM TO THE CURB…and out of the parliament in 2008…
then…if they make the current laws retroactive for 10 years to lock up their fellow DLP crooks, they will THEN return the favour and out Mia and her circus clowns…and all the crimes they too committed against the people and against the island pre 2008….lol
Isn’t it strange that a Minister of the Gov’t has to go to an online publication to complain about someone blocking a “cart road”?
Couldn’t she phone; text; email; whatapp; facebook or carrier pigeon a note to her Ministerial colleague(s) about the legality of the action? Notice one of the supporters of the Gov’t on this blog has said that the Gov’t is improving communication ah wonder if Jong is on vacation.
This should be a simple matter it is either legal or illegal if it is illegal the Gov’t should remove the obstacle and bill the responsible individual(s) but if “many hands make light work”, “too many cooks spoil the broth” and we are cooking an unpalatable stew.

“I met only ONE person who defended it by the specious argument that it was the Queen who did the shiting. Well, if the queen did the shiting Mia gave her the laxative. And it STILL STINKS!.”
lol..that is how they fool gullible, simple minded people on the island…making them believe the witch in her palace woke up one day and decided to give some lowlife criminal in Barbados a title, it never enters their clouded minds that the witch don’t give a shit about Mia or Elliott and it is their fellow criminals present their names to the witch…who gives these titles away even to those who clean her toilets…her yards…her pots and pans…her mirror, her gutters…etc…
“This should be a simple matter it is either legal or illegal if it is illegal the Gov’t should remove the obstacle and bill the responsible individual(s) ”
it’s a government briber being blamed for it..so don’t expect much…except for another dog and pony show with nuff, nuff promises to do something..just like the illegal obstruction built at the entrance of Coverley that caused the child’s death and the mother was arrested to prevent he winning a wrongful death suit…..same corrupt demon that was unleashed on the people when BLP and then DLP created the monster that is Maloney..
Donna
Well done for getting the pulse of the people.I am getting the same response.
People are not liking Mia’s actions one bit – and despite the spin being put out by the agents on this blog – People are saying they were hoping for change – but they are not liking the exchange they got.
I smell smoke – fire is surely close behind.
Imagine the nerve of Comissiong asking barbadians (who are themselves) in need of financial help pleading with barbadians to buy return tickets for the Haitians ti to back to Haiti
Commissiong and Mottley insisted on creating this Haitian problem
Now wanting to place the problem of finding a solution (to these )Haitians plight on the backs of financially strapped barbadians
What fukkng nerve
@ Lexicon
Artax

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
%1000 CORRECT.
@ Donna
As I told David I don’t know where you live and whose pulse you took though I suspect that it was only a few persons of similar mind to you. I can assert that if CADRES was to commission a poll at this moment the vast majority of Bajans (90%) would Express indifference with the knighthood and the other trivial things that you all raise incessantly, with the other 10 evenly spread between agree and disagree.
A General Comment
I have neither the time nor the stomach really to respond individually to the comments of WARU, Piece, SSS and Mariposa (T. Inniss is a lightweight in comparison to those 4). So I will let a general comment suffice. Here are few inconsistencies that you all spout regularly
A. Mia is Mugabe according to you all yet she cozies up to business according to you all.
B. You criticize the govt for supposedly rushing through some things and supposedly getting them wrong, yet you want her to rush through anti corruption legislation although it seems to matter so much to you all that I would have thought you wanted it done properly. WARU (or Piece, can’t remember) went so far as to proclaim that in light of what happened under the Dems and the campaign promises of the Bees it should be rushed through (obviously then with little thought just knee jerk)
Those are only two of the most glaring but as I said I haven’t the time.
To finish up, there is NO evidence that Haitians are overrunning Barbados. Those few folks were part of an unfortunate scam. With any new policy there will be teething problems. With any policy at all there will be cracks for people to fall threw. Vehicular accidents are one of the biggest causes of death internationally but we don’t stop driving. Rather we encourage safety, wearing seatbelts dont drink and drive etc.
Finally as I told David I am NOT Mia Mottley and I am NOT a member of Cabinet. Neither am I the PRO or the BLP nor do I want to take Charlie’s job as Director of Communications. The point of saying that then is to say that i am not bound to agree with everything Mia, the Labour Party or the Government does. I do believe the anti corruption legislation should be retroactive, I do believe we need FOIA and strengthen the Audiotr Generals power. But I also understand the trepidation of a new govt at doing such things but notwithstanding they are the right things to so and should be done. I pay taxes so I have the right to know from the Auditor General on a regular basis the accurate financial state of the various government departments and SOEs and the same for FOIA and all the others. So I think that if you all feel so strongly about it you should shut up for once and actually do something. I think you all have gotten so carried away with this Mugabe nonsense that you forget we live in a democracy where we have a Select Committee of Parliament that is taking memoranda from the ordinary citizenry. So I encourage you to write them, detailing these thing because you do have a few good ideas. If you’re not satisfied with the response organize yourselves into a movement calling upon govt to act. That is when democracy works at its best not when folks sit around the house complaining about everything. Just as you demand the govt to act it is incumbent upon you as a citizen to act when you feel something isn’t being done to your satisfaction. I suppose though that many of you are too comfortable safely hidden behind your pseudonyms and would never venture to such public action.
“But I also understand the trepidation of a new govt at doing such things but notwithstanding they are the right things to so and should be done.”
What new government…half that cabinet was in the Owen government…and they too got thrown out by the electorate in 2008…for CORRUPTION..
so when did they have their come to jesus moment…???
talking shite..
@ WARU
I assume that you haven’t the ovarian fortitude to exercise your democratic rights and advocate for something you do obviously fervently believe in?
Never ASS U. ME.
Common Sense continue to kill them with facts,most of which they cannot dispute.The corruption expert says the same thing everyday of all this corruption,i told her to take it to the DPP,she start backtracking talking about the credentials of the lady,as a cop out,pure shite talk.The other clown Piece I offered him a suggestion to form his own Party to oust according to him Mugabe in 2023 and he too start telling me about what Bush Tea said,a red herring,no balls at all just more shite talk.As far as the other tag team members like Donna,SSS,T Inniss and Mariposa if you notice the follow behind each other saying the same thing everyday.They somehow believe if they say the same thing everyday that it will convince sensible Bajans that the redwash was a mistake maybe as far as they are concerned,but they are certainly in the minority.I believe most Bajans understand the dire state the economy was in,when they came in to office and onlya brainless set of jackasses would expect a quick fix to the serious problems facing the country,because as Ms Mottley stated things were a lot worse than they had imagined based on the lies told about the economy was turning some corner.These problems will take years to fix,as the Government is not David Copperfield.The problems were generally ignored for at least 10 years and it might take as long to fix.
WARU,
I am finished with this bullshitter, He/she already filled up my well. Let them shit elsewhere.

So who are the local facilitators in that “unfortunate scam”?
Isn’t this a case of blatant illegal people trafficking against which Barbados is a signatory to the UN convention on such immoral and dastardly activity equivalent to a modern-day version of the trans-Atlantic slave trade?
Why haven’t the local ‘connections’ in the trafficking scam not been dragged before the courts or is it another case of blatantly corrupt hypocrisy similar to the ‘protection’ given those involved in the sex trade of imported ‘foreign’ meat?
Now where is the ‘mouth’ of the Home Affairs minister?
BTW, we value your ‘Common Sense’ approach to road safety, tips and all.
How about adding ‘No Driving’ while under the influence of drugs including the much maligned Mary Jane? Why not put her on the same legalized footing as her commercial rival Mr. Alcohol to create that much talked about in business circles ‘Level Playing Field?
There is a lot of money to be made from those nouveaux arrivant Ross University students by ‘selling’ some Bajan-grown organic Highlife instead of the forex-leaking imported chemically compressed variety, not so Ms ‘Common Sense’??
Oh lord, the other jackass has arrived!
What took you so long Donna.
It wasn’t even interesting,stimulating informative discussion.
Just the checklist that Mia has sent them out with. Promise made promise kept – type of shite.
Prodi -Gal was the first one who brought out the list – and yuh know where she sits – in the inner chamber itself – so yuh had to know that was the end result of a meeting of the Round Table with Jong and Lucille Moe and the rest strategizing and advising them.
Set your minds on things above and not on de things crawling on the earth.
Donna…..these are some wicked minded rotten people so unhappy in their clouded mental misery that if they cannot DECEIVE…you …then you are their enemy…
Obviously you two cannot read. Nobody expected a quick fix to all the problems despite the manifesto promises made. We knew that when you people took office the usual excuses would be made.
Things are even worse than we expected, blah, blah, blah
But whilst we were watching we noticed ONE THING GOT FIXED WITH INDECENT HASTE!
The prime minister gave her father a shitehood. And that says a whole lot! And your denials will not change anybody’s mind either no matter how many times YOU SAY THE SAME THING.
And for your information my conversations were with random people, not my inner circle. And those who heard our conversations showed agreement by facial expressions, gestures and some said they had followed the discussion on social media.
But of course you would ASSUME that your pulse-taking had more validity than mine.
I’m out.
@ Lorenzo
I am very happy to read someone who agrees with me. It was a lonely fight. You are so right when you say these problems will take time to fix. They (Donna WARU SSS Piece et al) use the same strategy as the Dems, if you say it often enough perhaps someone may believe the lies. Anyway you have a good night and continue the fight against ignorance and disinformstion.
@ Miller
I agree with you. The reputation of Barbados will not be repaired until the police go after the locals behind this scam that brought the Haitians here. It is unacceptable and something must be done about it. In relation to your second point, I have waivered over the years in relation to my stance on marijuana. In the past I was vehemently opposed, but in the last 5 years or so I am somewhat undecided and have no firm opinion on it. I think the body of evidences out there is so vast I’d have to fully avail myself of it to form an opinion and therefore answer your question.
This is why I call you a ‘limited range chicken’
“T. Inness
And the clown that now represents St. John also promised to acquire the land that people in St. John are squatting on.”
You beat the bush and you run out defending. And then get offended when you point out their range of motion is limited.
