2020 St. George North By-Election National Debate

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.

    @WURA-War-on-U November 1, 2020 4:54 PM “…ask ambassador Liz she would know, i have seen the info myself, but am not looking for anything for you or anyone else ”

    All I am asking is that you either stop telling lies or provide a link.

    I don’t need liz to look for anything for me, I am still fairly capable.

    If it is not on Amnesty’s site or on the site of the U.S. State Department’s site it very likely does not exist except in your over heated imagination.

    Who is the czar of human rights, never even knew they had one, must be a dead person, i thought when they are being paid by taxpayers they are supposed to shout out the loudest when rights are being violated, especially small children, but then again remember Minister of Hairstyles running to the beauty parlor every week, but can’t see how the San Jose Charter on the Rights of the Elderly in Latin America and the Caribbean to which Barbados is also signatory, while the elderly are being violated and have for decades and she says not a word, always coming out with some flimsy bullshit excuse that has nothing to do with what is really happening…so who is suprised that there is a human rights czar with no voice for those whose human rights are violated as a sport..

    Apparently, people are pissed off enuff to make sure that the violation of those children’s rights as projected on that video by those wicked acts, are brought to the attention of the people who look into these things…..people are crying shame, but none of us except for fowls are surprised.

    @Donna November 1, 2020 5:43 PM “The new way of thinking is that there are different types of intelligences- all being equal in importance.”

    Multiple intelligences is a theory first posited by Harvard developmental psychologist Howard Gardner in 1983 that suggests human intelligence can be differentiated into eight modalities:

    visual-spatial
    verbal-linguistic
    musical-rhythmic
    logical-mathematical
    interpersonal
    intrapersonal
    naturalistic
    bodily

    We would be happier, healthier and wealthier people if everyone had the opportunity to develop his or her intelligence, or intelligences. I have a visual-spatial child who was giving me driving instructions at 26 months old, BEFORE she was able to speak in full sentences. [I can get lost in a 1,000 square foot space, lol!] I wondered how she did it. I still wonder. Has gone into a profession where visual-spatial intelligence is crucial. Doing well and happy. Although a disappointment to those who see only law, medicine and engineering as truly valuable.

    I would bet anything that neither old Braddie, nor Santia, nor Toni, nor any of our current MP’s can do with their body what Mr. Reifer has done with his Not one of them. None of them can do what my Little Susie does either. None.

    Good advice, TheO. Power can be heady. It is necessary to have someone around to keep your feet on the ground when your head gets giddy. I don’t believe Mia was thinking straight. There should have been somebody to tell her it was wrong. But long have I discovered that not many want to risk it. Spineless!

    Cuhdear Bajan,

    Thank you for posting. I borrowed the book from the library when my son was a pre-teen. Kept renewing it because it was so refreshing to see what I had always thought finally written by the experts. I have a brother who went to HC but could hardly wait to leave. He could fix anything from young. Got the fix it gene from my mother. Could drive from pre-teen years without being taught and is a boss behind the wheel of any vehicle no matter how large. Got that from our father who was driving his father’s truck at twelve. He was also an athlete but that was not his love. Passed down from our father. His daughter just finished at QC and has an athletics scholarship.

    My son hates academics but was composing music from age thirteen. Got the musical gene from my father. Also was directing me from diaper days because I, like you, have no sense of direction whatsoever. I got that from my father’s mother who could get lost the moment she stepped off Broad Street.

    I appreciate and value all talents. Especially those I do not have.

    Debate this.

    “The Queen Elizabeth Hospital (QEH) has reached its capacity for in-patient admission and members of the public will experience delays at the healthcare facility.

    In a media release on Sunday night, the Board of Management of the QEH says these delays will affect those seeking service through the Accident and Emergency Department (AED) – and by extension the ambulance service – as well as those who may need surgeries.

    Only emergency surgeries are being performed and all elective procedures were rescheduled.

    “The QEH has reached its maximum capacity as the majority of its 519 in-patient beds are currently occupied. This is due in part to the large number of persons awaiting elective surgery, and the continued provision of care to persons classified as Elderly for Care (EFC),” the release said.”

    So are you implying that both the U.S. State Department and Amnesty International hire complete idiots, who sit at their desks all day and do not go out and about to see and hear, ad experience for themselves what is happening?

    Don’t laugh. But once i got lost in my bedroom. The same bedroom in which I had slept for more than 20 years. The cat came into the room in the middle of the night. I wanted to put out the cat, but could not find the door, the window nor the light switch. Admittedly it was an old fashioned wooden house with wooden windows, in the country before street lights came to the villages. I was in a void, had lost all sense of direction. I traveled a lot for my job, but nobody would ever want me flying their aeroplane, nor even driving their truck. But I found something that I was good at. We need to respect all intelligences.

    Scary. Now and for the future. Many hospitals worldwide have backlogs of surgery because elective surgeries were postponed durng covid. Our population is aging, so more older people who are sicker longer. Generally more women in paid work, so fewer “housewives” to do the traditional unpaid care-giving work looking after elders and children. Since covid is still with us, so we need to mask-up, wash-up and keep our distance, and so must our visitor’s as we mush not further overwhelm the medical staff nor the physical facilities

    Two things, firstly, as I said already, this vote by parish thing is past its sell by date.

    Secondly, on Reifer. He is not the problem. The problem is the large shadow of the former members of the failed DLP government, casting doubt on the future of that party.

    There will be no moving forward for that party with that shadow.

    “So are you implying that both the U.S. State Department and Amnesty International hire complete idiots”

    am implying that they don’t always know what’s really going on, many times they ASK THE SAME CORRUPT LIARS FOR DATA…you know you are corrupt and will tell them the truth…really, not the trash we know on the island…that’s like another agency who put out the same data for Barbados every year, i’ve since come to learn from a diplomat mind you that they ask the SAME CRIMINALS IN THE PARLIAMENT and their imps and pimps for information…..and what happened under the Owen administration, they obstructed the agency from investigating accusations against them and then took the name of the agency and turned it into one of the their offshore accounts and was using that NAME FOR YEARS AND YEARS…..ask Mia..someone came across it by sheer accident and had to bring the information to the same agency’s attention, they didn’t even know…lol..so what the hell do you think they will ever know about what’s really happening in Barbados….UNLESS TOLD with backing evidence..

    take the abuse and exploitation of the kids from St. George school for instance….UNLESS someone REPORTS DIRECTLY to the relevant agency about what Mia, Dale and Toni did, complete with video of the offending human rights violation of children…..how will the agency know and if they ask Mia, Dale and Toni what do you think they will tell them….outside of the accusations from INTERNATIONAL AGENCIES about the refusal to stop the human trafficking on the island AND THE BLACKLISTING FOR MONEY LAUNDERING ….ya will keep hearing the SAME INFORMATION from the same agencies EVERY YEAR…without any changes.

    …even better, they can’t even ERASE the info regarding the name of the agency they used…WHY…because it’s part of the panama/paradise ICIJ info with ALL THEIR NAMES ATTACHED with accounts…and PUBLIC INFORMATION….the agency was shocked to find how they’ve been used..

    the state department and amnesty will now have to wait and find out how they are being obstructed from getting real information. and maybe HOW THEY ARE ALSO BEING USED WORLDWIDE without their knowledge by the crooks in Barbados…am sure no one shared known information with them about the SET UP ARTISTS in the parlaiment….

    ..do you remember the Ikobi murder, have you heard the state department or amnesty reporting on them and that happened more than a decade ago, have you heard them reporting on the DECADES OF THEFTS OF ESTATES FROM THE ELDERLY AND THEIR BENEFICIARIES….have you heard them say anything about the corruption among government ministersf and minority crooks …..that you yourself is aware of..steupsss..

    and what happened under the Owen administration, they obstructed the agency from investigating accusations against them and then took the name of the agency and turned it into one of their offshore accounts and was using that NAME FOR YEARS AND YEARS…..ask Mia….until someone came across it by sheer accident on ICIJ and had to bring the information to the same agency’s attention, they didn’t even know about how their name has been misused, but they WRITE REPORTS about Barbados………😂😂🤣😂

    One may be aware that I am favorably disposed towards the USA. This does not mean that I blindly accept all the statistics provided by the USA.

    When one looks at the various regimes set up/ propped up by the USA, it stands to reason that some facts/statistics are ignored/suppressed/manipulated by the USA.

    Regime change often means supporting the devil who is favorable to the US.

    The absence of a mention by the US state department does not mean absence of evidence of dastardly deeds.

    I have had similar experiences. Very disorienting. Brain goes blank in your own house. And I can very understand the theory behind engines but when I look into one my brain gets scrambled. These things have always intrigued me. We have all the talents we need in the world. We just need to appreciate them all equally.

    Have you heard anything else about the delays at QEH ? The statement seems a bit strange and no reason for the capacity issue is given. Given the low number of Covid cases on the island low low severity of these cases and I presume that this is not the reason?

    If the QEH is having capacity problems, maybe the officials will tell us what has caused this rush for beds. At the same time, they may think it necessary t publish the monthly mortality figures for 2019, and for each month this year.

    Moving right along
    This is what others are saying about pedigree and the blp

    The good thing about Barbados is that this “pedigree” thing only applies to 15 to 20 % of the population. The questons is what will the 80% of Barbadians who are being degrated do with their vote? Are they willing to go backwards and continue to be considered second class citizens or are they going to pull themselves away from this prejudice Party?
    It is unbelievable to hear a political party “in Barbados in 2020” talking this way about pedigree. The DLP should make this a big focus in their campaign. This is a new day and folks that pedigree card is played out. Educate the voting electorate between age 18 to 40 about the big differences in ideology of both parties and they will in turn have the conversations with their parents and grandparents. This rhetoric is not healthy for barbadians. This pedigree nonsense is so evident in the school system, the tax system, it is systemic and that too must change.
