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.

    @ Donna

    Call me what you wish, I’ve never asserted any claim that I am of superior intelligence to anyone in this chatroom. However I have implied a great many times that you and WARU and SSS are significantly below the intellectual standard of ALL Barbadians. So note I am NOT saying that I am particularly intelligent, I am saying that everyone in Barbados is more intelligent and has a greater intellectual capacity than the 3 named individuals (to clarify that’s ONE average Barbadian standing head and shoulders intellectually over all THREE of you combined).

    Also I’m glad you think my contributions lighten the chat room but I’m even more ecstatic when I read the deep seeted hatred which you seem to have for me (common shite fellow), as I think to be hated by a lowlife supremo such as yourself is perhaps the aspiration of most decent people (I.e. that such scumbag filth hates you means that you must be doing something right to anger them).

    Additionally fools are definitely listening so if that makes me a fool for speaking to you all as Confucius says then I guess I’m guilty as charged which makes me rethink my participation in discussion here. Sorry what discussion? I meant vulgar street talk.

    For once I agree with you. Fools are most certainly listening. So by Confucius’ reckoning to speak to fools is to be a fool yourself. Thank you for reminding me, so my engagements with you at least will have to come to an end as you perhaps are fool enough for the whole of Barbados.

    @ David

    I agree with quite a bit of your analysis of my points relating to the performance of the Gov’t. But the problem that many of you have comprehending (Mariposa, OGazerts and others) is that nothing can happen right away. Progress is important. See my cancer analogy. The only way to get to that glorious destination of prosperity is through progress.

    Is the sewage problem fixed completely? No. Is it off the streets though? Yes.

    Is the bus service working completely? No. Is it on the way there? Yes.

    Is garbage collection a regular occurrence today? No. Are we getting there? Yes

    Is Barbados a prosperous country right now. No. Are we moving in that direction? Yes.

    Have patience. The rescue and rebuild mission cannot happen overnight. Certainly then the reform and transformation cannot happen over the course of a few months if we aren’t fully rescued yet.

    Hold off clambering for the corrupt Ministers of the last govt to be hauled before the courts. That is not going to help Barbados. Doing the things that matter economically and socially will though. So when we return to prosperity or when were a certain way along the road there, then we can discuss past transgressions. The theme of what I’m trying to say then is have patience. In 2010 two years after the DLP won a huge victory people on BU were heaping praise on Thompson and his gang and still disparaging the Bees. It’s been six months people. I suspect the reason that Thompson remained popular for so long is because he did little for Barbados – out economy and society. They simply rode the tide until it crashed.

    “On your other point, BU is not popular among the Barbadian populace. Its just a few miscreants that mislead you into believing that you have the support of Bajans. Well sorry to burst your bubble, you don’t.

    I’ve heard that a principal of a school in Barbados once told his children in Assembly that people who read BU should drop dead as they wallow in gossip and lies. That doesn’t sound like a blog with popular support.

    PS “blogmaster” my ass”

    David, don’t take these insults from this “intellectually primitive” RH. Ban his ass. How dare he/she come on our blog which we have kept going for ten long years to insult us?

    He comes with lies then he ends up quoting hearsay from some imaginary principal. steupse.

    You regard the likes of Donna as tough? She hides behind insulting language and never engages in the issues. Essentially she’s a bully who throws a hissyfit (choose this word specially for you Donna. I think it should be simple enough or is this a big word too?) when she can’t have her way.

    It is not the shitehood that is the problem. It is what is paramount in the Prime Minister’s thoughts.

    Dear BU Family,

    I take this opportunity to once again assert my support for the direction that this Government is taking Barbados. That support is not unconditional nor is it guided by yarfowlism. I really believe we’re on the right track.

    However, I am unhappy with the way in which I sought to assert that and the way in which I conducted myself in this chat room over the last two days. I allowed my emotions to get the better of me and my judgement temporarily lapsed. I do not often behave in that manner, but somehow I allowed myself to be driven there. My life philosophy has always been to do and say the right thing regardless of what the people around you are doing. And therefore I should not have allowed myself to drawn into the vulgar and insulting talk. It did not follow my mantra of Common Sense.

    No one likes to apologise, but I think I am mature enough to realise when I am wrong and to make amends for it. Therefore, I unreservedly and unconditionally apologise to all who have met my sharp tongue over the last two days. You did not deserve. This apology is particularly for Donna, Hal Austin, WARU and SSS, as well as Blogmaster David who has done a great job with this blog.

    Whether or not you accept the apology does not bother me. I have discharged my duty. I pledge thenceforth to deliver of myself at all times civilly and respectably.

    I wish all members of the BU damily a peaceful and restful night.

    @ Common sense,

    You are a brave man and should be proud of yourself. You are certainly exceptional in the BU sphere. As you go through life, do not let the mob determine how you behave; the mob is uncontrollable and emotional.
    One other thing: you have avoided embarrassment by using a pseudonym; had you used your real name from the beginning you would not have lapsed in to vulgarity in the first place. Your apology is accepted. Your heart is in the right place.

    Wunna does get sidetracker very easily by jobby.

    An agent of Mugabe comes to the site and makes an inane comment about “a principal at a school telling students not to read BU…” and whaplax a conniption in the making.

    What difference does it make if children do not read BU?

    Children do not vote nor do they post on BU

    Or do they?

    This is a specific thrust directed at Barbados Underground.

    It is here that the thinkers come to read ALTHOUGH THEY DO NOT COMMENT, THEY COME TO READ.

    THIS IS A CLOSER MUGABE-ITE THAN the 2 Nameless Ones and they have been assigned creative license.

    But here is an interesting thing though.

    Is it that the Old David of BU has offended Mugabe?

    Observe how, 11.43 am the Honourable Blogmaster made an innocent comment and gave a passing comparison righr before the Mugabe Upgrade Common Sense ran off like a cur?

    Then look at 12.07 pm what occurred

    Wunna see that? Hmmmmm

    The Honourable Blogmaster went to the other social media sites he is participating in and brought responses to The James Greene Performsnce Report for the Mugabe Administration (which could form a bloc in itself)

    Whuloss what has happened?

    This person is young and reminds me of the young man who came on the blog a few years back to intervene on behalf of a young lady who asked us to help fund her trip to Antartica. The language is the same, the spewing of quotes to show he reads/well read, etc. He disappeared when Piece asked how studying icebergs would be of benefit to Barbados and Bajans. He had to let us know that he went to Kolij and studied until 2 in the morning, etc. At the time, I thought that he thought he was the first person to go to school and study hard. I bet that young man had electric lights and not oil lamps by which to study.

    It was nice of him to apologize, but it seems to me that he realized he was losing against the lionesses.

    So all wunna die hards Mia supporters should understand that blood is thicker than water meaning that her relationship and dedication to her father is far superior and meaningful than ethical and moral principles to country and its people

    Let us pause for a few moments to examine your comment

    “…On your other point, BU is not popular among the Barbadian populace.

    Its just a few miscreants that mislead you into believing that you have the support of Bajans. Well sorry to burst your bubble, you don’t…”

    And then your hasty retraction and pretend apology

    You understand what you have done with that about face?

    It is quite obvious that you exceeded your remit as a detractor against Barbados Underground and, having so done, you were spanked by Mugabe

    But, were it not that Mugabe understands the metrics of this site, you would have been emboldened by your own actions and would have continued your amalgamated insults TO THOSE THAT WERE ENUMERATED AS YOUR TARGETS AND PERSONS OF INTEREST.

    What you wanted to say is that Barbados Underground does not have the Mass Appeal to make the impact for social change and the adoption of the Third Party Movement @ today…but saying that it has no support of Bajans is hogwash.

    So what can Barbados Underground do to achieve that Mass Appeal?

    And achieve that Critical Mass?

    Let us get back to the topic at hand. Keep your apology close to you, you might need it for when the next poster comes out. I will not engage you in gutter talk (though that is where I like to be at times LOL).

    I have three questions for you.

    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?
    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?
    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?

    The problem they see with pushing through such legislation, they gotta be mindful that the DRAFTERS of the legislation…Simmons, Haynes, Marshall, Thorne…etc…don’t get their asses LOCKED UP sometime in the future…..for THEIR individual and as a group roles…..in DECADES OF malfeasance and corruption in the Supreme Court …at UDC, at CLICO, at CGI Insurance, while sitting on the SUPREME COURT BENCH..as CJ.

    nuff, nuff ass covering to do …none of them care about justice for the people, or recovering all the stolen millions and old people’s stolen properties currently sitting in the lawyers/ministers/former ministers offshore accounts that should be returned to Barbados and the people they were stolen from…….obviously Mia has no such appetite….and think it will just go away…..but no such luck, too much is hanging in the balance..

    “Heather Thompson Jackie Stewart is the lady – A family member passed leaving a sea front property which is being built on as we speak. Jackie Stewart and family conned out of their inheritance. The same has happened in my own family and a hell of lot more families on and off the island.

    My own mother died ten years ago leaving an estate worth 3/4 of a million. The grandchildren inherited, most live abroad. Years of writing and sending registered letters to the excutor and lawyers dealing with the estate proved fruitless. None of the beneficiaries could afford to bring a courtcase, my own daughter being one. My husband and I offered to take up the cause. Last year $15,000 each was paid out to each beneficiary and I can assure you that it cost me a lot more than $15,000 so far.

    Officals not turning up for court, lost files and a whole host of other going ons are meant to wear you down. Jackie Sterart has had the same experiences. I was even given a court date that was not possible! a public holiday at easter when the courts were closed. I made a song and dance about it in phone calls and emails and got another date. I live in France and really can’t afford to much toing and froing. My pension pot is being hit really hard. They think they know when they have got you by the balls but this sort of behaviour can’t last for ever, sooner or later the shit will hit the fan! What I have told you is just the tip of the iceberge. I was advised to go to the papers! a big no no. most of the people running the country and businesses are either related or friends. The elite are running the country into the ground! Hope that you can understand what Jackie Stewart is about and where she is coming from.”
