The decision to have a national TV debate between the candidates contesting the St. George North constituency seat has been mired in controversy from the beginning. The result is that of the six candidates registered to contest the seat made vacant by the ‘retired out’ Gline Clarke, only candidates Toni Moore (BLP), Grenville Phillips (Solutions Barbados) and Alex Mitchell (BFP) are the three left standing. The other candidates have offered excuses for not participating, the blogmaster suspects the real reason is that there is a fear to speak to the issues publicly in an independent setting.

It is ironic that the current week has seen Barbados experiencing heavy rains which must be negatively affecting house to house and platform campaigning. What an opportunity tonight’s debate offers to convey respective party messages to SGN residents while in the comfort of their homes.

    Hal Austin,

    Norman Tebbit, Thatcher’s loony toones far right minister, was a big proponent of deporting West Indians.

    What is ironic about Priti is that her own grandparents / parents came from over and away and now she sees herself as more British than others.

    Mind you, I would not want to meet her on a dark night. Especially not near a cemetery.

    “No matter what the international organisations do for us, we will be back at square one in short order.”

    social engineering and that’s not even the half of it, you have pretentious leaders who are making exotic plans without thinking it through and then what, their lack of intelligence shows up for eveyone to see. They are creations, not natural, a distraction to destroy…they are not their own persons, they only believe that they are. Don’t have the intelligence to know that you cannot shed a colonial system without first putting a brand new MORE JUSTICE FILLED one in place, problem for the people those in the parliament don’t have the intelligence, again, they dont have enuff of any of it to build a new system, check out the mess they made of this one, it actually worked perfectly but NOT TO BENEFIT THE BLACK PEOPLE WHO FUND IT…..

    can you see them building anyting at all out outside of their comfort zones of selling out and being corrupt…i gotta see that one if you do.

    as i see it, they only care about self, it’s all about how the system works for them, only them, they don’t factor in how it works for the people who elected them and pay their salaries and pretensive lifestyles.

    Some people understand how all this came about, but baby steps.

    Priti Patel has cooled with age. She was a member of Jimmy Goldsmith’s Referendum Party; her father, an East African Indian, is (was) a member of the Brexit party; Dominic Raab, the foreign minister is also a second generation foreigner, like Trump.
    Just look for the similarities and you may find the answer. Priti is not exceptional.
    This is the contradiction of immigration. Look at the Africans in the Tory party, and at who is their spokeswoman on race and equality.

    I know that one.

    Simple Simon met Someone going to a fair
    Says Simple Simon to the Someone
    I need some money to spend
    I do hope that you care

    Says the Someone to Simple Simon
    First let us have your vote
    Says Simple Simon to the Someone
    Indeed I have not any, but maybe that is not the end

    Says the Someone to Simple Simon
    Then get lost do, you
    I only help those who help me too
    And I will not bend

    Says Simple Simon To the Someone
    But I have the fair to see
    Says the Someone to Simple Simon
    I need your vote and I have pedigree

    Says the Someone to Simple Simon
    I was born under a party and flag
    That makes me twice better than you
    But I do say, I do not mean to brag

    Says Simple Simon to the Someone
    But Grenville got more than you
    He also has qualifications
    And scholarships, John has two

    Say the Someone to Simple Simon
    I care not about them at all
    But please, please can I have your vote
    Then I will get to Parliament without stall

    That is the problem with wannabes and their fowls…they all want to be like the Oxbridge pedigrees who were goddamn SLAVE MASTERS….when you are a leader of a black majority country filled with descendants of slaves, YOUR BLACK ASS INCLUDED…you do not want to be just like MASSA….the pedigreed in UK are mostly the descendants of SLAVE MASTERS…and have eleveated yourselves so much in your mind that you DELIBERATELY dish out the same racism oppression and exploitation with an added twist of selloutism and corruption on black people who look just like you….the people have lost billions of dollars and estates and their beneficiaries continue to suffer because of you pedigreed THIEVES….who are now just like Massa, but Massa is not now under any type of investigation..

    that’s the problem right there, that type of elementary stuff…totally escapes them, but somehow they are educated.

    .where you think the term got coined…it’s right out of the centuries of 3 or 4 ago…after they tief so much from African people, they gave themselves a mirage of pedigrees…common class thieves, just as yall are doing right now CENTURIES LATER…and ya even too dumb to realize it…and ya aint got nothing to back it up either.

    Miller..do you think you can get Fowl Enuff to tell us how that fowl shit sounds intelligent to her and WHEN did they start putting themselves at the level of the Oxbridge slave master crowd in UK and still be the descendants of the enslaved….or have they cut out all that reality in their DELUSIONS.

    i would more claim African royalty rather than European pedigree….THERE IS A REALLY BIG DIFFERENCE….and many of us did come from African royalty….real royalty..

    too late for yall now anyway, yall have been spouting that slave master pedigree shit since the 70s…you are the lost, no one would even waste their time trying to being you back, you are a liability.

    But them staying put in their “paradise” overseas where the likes of Trump and the Oxbridge educated pedigreed rules. I bet their mouths are shut and don’t pollute a single blog? COVID surging in the UK, US and Canada, and the diaspora crew just paint Bdos in the worst light everyday as if those economies didn’t experience economic decline betwern 14 and 30% at sometime during Covid. Them cussing judge only cases, but living comfortably in countries where the practice exists. You would not believe that George Floyd happened and police were the cause; or that the Met Police constantly profiles and criminalises blacks as is evident in the stats on stop and search. I wonder wuh condition yuh duz call dah–‘feel yuh better off….’?

    xXxX xxx xxx xxx xxx

    I DON’T KNOW ABOUT OTHERS HOWEVER I LIVE IN A COUNTRY WHERE I AM FREE TO MOVE AROUND 24HOURS A DAY.

    WHERE PHARMACIES OR SUPERMARKETS WERE NEVER CLOSED.

    WHERE THERE WAS NEVER A CURFEW OR LOCKDOWN AMONG MILLIONS OF RESIDENTS.

    NONE OF MY FRIENDS HAVE CAUGHT OR DIED OF COVID.

    WHERE COMPARED TO 2X3 ISLAND THE MINIMUM WAGE FOR THE LOWEST PAID JOB BE IT GARDENER, MAID OR GAS STATION ATTENDANT FOR THE COURSE OF AN 8HR DAY US$11 PER HR X 8 = US$88 PER DAY
    US$88 X 5DAY WEEK = US$440 OR BD$880 PER WEEK

    YOU HAVE PEOPLE IN BARBADOS DOING SAME JOB FOR BD$200 – BD$300 PER WEEK

    STILL NO MINIMUM WAGE PROMISED BY YOUR BLP GOVERNMENT IN 6 MONTHS.

    I GUESS THE BLACK BAJAN MASSES WHO VOTE ARE NOT PART OF PEDIGREE.

    WHO WOULD WANT TO BE IN BARBADOS TO WORK FOR PEANUTS UNLESS ONE IS A MONKEY LIKE YOU HOW AND YOUR PEDIGREE BLP FRIENDS SEE THE LOCAL BLACK MASSES.

    Did anyone respond to the Barbados census?
    Did you answer the questions on pedigree?
    what is your family pedigree?
    What is your pedigree?
    What is your dog pedigree?
    Are you related to anyone with pedigree.
    Would you marry someone with a lower pedigree?
    Should a low/non-pedigree person become the leader of Barbados?
    Should low/non-pedigree persons run for office?
    Would you vote for them?

    @TheOGazerts November 3, 2020 7:33 PM “What is your pedigree? What is your dog pedigree? Are you related to anyone with pedigree. Would you marry someone with a lower pedigree?

    What is your pedigree? None
    What is your dog pedigree? Salmon tot retriever
    Are you related to anyone with pedigree. No.
    Would you marry someone with a higher pedigree? Nope. Especially if that higher pedigree includes a history of early cancer or early Alzheimers. I might give them a piece of the business, but most certainly would never procreate with them.

    Please be reminded that pedigree often includes a significant history of inbreeding, and significant genetic disorders, so who the hell wants to be part of that?

    I guess my family has been in Barbados for the same length of time and has a similar origin as those with ‘pedigree’.

    Perhaps, the pedigreed and I share a relative or two. Just wondering how the pedigree brush got applied to their side of the family and completely missed my side.

    One theory: Are their side of the family house slaves impregnated by massa and mine is from field hands.

    I thought we had gotten over that, but it looks as if we want to reintroduce valuimg some as being worth more than others.

    My POV: The language of pedigree is disrespectful, disgusting and ignorant in a predominantly black ex-slave society.

    Your side of the family had some “bombastic angry” black women, and massa knew without being told to keep his dirty d!ck offa them.

    That’s why you like me have no pedigree.

    Explain: why is it that we have a by-election tomorrow and we on BU are more obsessed with the US presidential elections? Shouldn’t the silence of the president be a key feature of the St George North campaign?
    Why is it that every time there is a controversial matter of race she remains silent, a woman who cannot normally get enough of PR? Voters in St George North, whichever party they support, must for once vote against the president and give her a bloody nose.
    Silence is a Bajan way of not facing reality. It is as old as the hills.

    When is she going to talk about Sandy Lane? Tonight? She was told by her fan club how great she was and that she was born to be prime minister of Barbados. When she got the opportunity she failed. It was too much for her.

    Reifer called out govt on the dump
    The total disarray of the infrastructure of SGN and govt total disrespect for the intelligence of the people of SGN
    All of SGN heard what Bradshaw Toni Moore and the other bradshaw said about them
    Hope the people of SGN not going to settle for the crumbs which govt handed them for 26 years but stand on their feet and make a noise with an X that they deserve better
    Better having a homegrown man of the soil who lives amongst them and knows of their suffering and a man Floyd Reifer who wants to make a difference for them by looking out for their interest
