Election Day in St. George North

Today the electorate of St. George North will vote for a member of parliament to fill the vacancy created by the ‘retirement’ of Gline Clarke. The blogmaster’s assessment is that it will be a straight contest between Floyd Reifer (DLP) and Toni Moore (BLP). Of the so-called third parties Grenville Phillips should retain third option in the number count. We can debate if Barbadians are ready for a third party or is this a case of the quality of the options presented. The blogmaster respectfully suggest the latter.

The result of the election will answer a few questions for political pundits.

  • Has the Democratic Labour Party (DLP) regain its standing as the credible alternative in the eyes of voters?
  • Despite managing the affairs of state in the most challenging period post independence, will the Barbados Labour Party (BLP) be able to convince the SGN electorate that it is the most competent to govern at this time?
  • Will Grenville Phillips increase his penetration of support in the constituency to forge the way for third parties in the future?
  • How large will the protest vote be which has been fomenting in a climate of austerity for the last 3 years?
  • Has the last 90 days of campaigning confirm the urgent need for electoral reform in Barbados?

So far by-election activities has been largely peaceful in keeping with Bajan tradition. Let us continue to make the country proud by delivering an uneventful event. The blogmaster’s vote will be cast for David Walrond, the agriculturist and community practitioner.

    Superb observation by Mr Prescod. I am sure he must be an overseas Bajan, since he paints a different picture to the Supreme Optimists on BU. Both cannot be right.

    Good to see Prescod speaking out now that he has been relieved of a ministry. Let us continue to hope he reveals more about the White Shadows.

    And that’s why i CAN’T STAND the SMALLMINDED, this clown will pretend he don’t know that government is SUPPOSED TO INTERVENE and help the poor with TAXPAYER’S MONEY…aren’t they picking up TAXPAYER’S MONEY to bail out of poor ass crooks in the tourist industry, money that should rightfully be going to the BLACK POPULATION now under extreme hardships and stress…that fraud could really shut up…it’s their jobs, but they’re acting like they’re doing black people a favor…

    notice he did not mention the 1 billion dollars STOLEN and never collected by DBLP….he didn’t mention missing money from the treasury and pension fund OVER DECADES, but his mantra is poor people, poor people, poor people….withoug telling us HOW THE HELL THEY GOT SO POOR…

    i won’t trust not one of those haunted house negros.

    “The former minister, who is the Prime Minister’s Special Adviser and Special Envoy on Reparations and Economic Enfranchisement, said that were it not for Government’s interventions to help poor people, Barbados would “see the same thing in 2020 that we saw in 1937” – civil disturbances.”

    This article proves my point, the black faces in the parliament don’t want to take control,, they prefer be controlled, the alternative will mean transfering power to the people, and that they don’t want…but want to slither around depressed areas, begging for votes.

    “The St Michael East MP said there were “certain institutions in this country that extract the wealth from the first day of slavery, still own the lands, still own the businesses, still [take] the money out of the resources of this country, and put it into their expansionist programme abroad, and they don’t even want to give back a cent”.

    they are RIGHT…yall ARE WEAK, USELESS NEGROS…ya spend all ya time selling out and reducing ya people to poverty, how can THIEVES TAKE anything, if the sell outs in the haunted house…..DON’T ALLOW THEM…

    I don’t know what Comrade Prescod is talking about. I never heard him mention a country by name.I can’t assume he meant Barbados. That certainly cannot be the country that @WURA or you speak about. I heard there are two. I don’t know which one he means.

    On that we can agree. The government should ensure that they collect the taxes, including the VAT. If these businesses have no social conscience, they should be given no breaks whatsoever.

    Businesses all over the world are taking advantage of employees of all colours. Somehow most people have come to believe that business is all about the immediate bottom line. Short sighted really, but that is the philosophy of capitalism.

    Thanks for the clarification. I just can’t go speaking about the people’s country without having facts. Well if Comrade Prescod means the country often referenced on BU, he must be just griping or full of hot air, probably has a chip on his shoulder or is being emotional. I don’t think that message will resonate with the young people because they don’t worry much about white people controlling the wealth of the country. So maybe this is just a case of sour grapes. The country that I know has the same problem all the countries have. There is no perfect world. Those countries in the Caribbean have come a long way. Given time a lot more will be achieved.
    Anyway thanks for the clarification.

    It is interesting that in the matters of the treatment of black race use majority white countries as our reference point.

    The fact that we must point to these racist countries to explain the treatment of ourselves in our own country should tell us something.

    However, a more suitable reference would be a majority black country with a dominant white minority. Amazingly, I have sometimes seen comparison of Barbados with South Africa, but, today, that would have to be the South Africa of the past.

    It will be good having a look at the Aboriginals of Australia for how a people can be reduced to the margins in their own country. I think @Walter referred to a similar thing with black Americans and Caribbeans, a point made by one of the Rappers who supported Trump..
    I was once in Australia and white Australians tried to prevent me from talking to Aboriginals and mixed race people of Aboriginal heritage. I can see why some Barbadians like Australia.

    Artax u know u are grossly disingenuous when u use a defense of Time period. and state her being judge is being unfair
    Be that as it may we all see things differently
    I see that the workers have have been poorly represented even when Moore sat as an “Independent” senator
    Also Moore is not a novice to labour she knows the ins and outs of labour laws and workers rights If judgement has been placed on her head it is not because she is being judge unfairly but because she has years of experience in labour Unions and by now she should have cultivated a moral conviction to pressed forward and act with urgency on behalf of the workers
    Hard to accept any kind of excuses formulated as a defense to defend the indefensible which in this case Moores voice of silence

All like you seek to belittle me with lies and attempt to tie me to the Hyatt, but I am unfazed because wunna don’t have a clue. The last hotel project I had any dealing with had a price tag 3 times the Hyatt. Go ask Maloney, the PM or AG about Hyatt instead of repeatedly making yourself look like an ass. You don’t know who or what you’re talking bout.

    That is so true. That’s the case with almost everybody on BU. Sometimes we figure they know what but then not who. So the best way to counter that is to let us know who we all are and then we can find out if they really responsible for all these tremendously impressive projects they work on.
    Even when we are highly successful , we seem not to want it as public knowledge but we are quick to tell Hal Austin, William Skinner and Walter Blackman how ignorant and lied they are. Do you mind telling us the name of the hotel that is worth three times the Hyatt? Is there a website?
    We still won’t know who you are but at least we’ll know there is a hotel.

    It is only on some rare occasion when a misdeed against a black( which cant be hidden ) that these chameleons step out in pretense to champion the black individual cause
    It is amazing how many can step up to fight for one woman Moore when her influence in Parliament was founded on a template to fight for the worker while being an MP
    I am shaking ny head with disbelief and dumbfounded as to how any one in their right mind viewing the videos of the workers whilst relating stories of their hardship

    You are absolutely correct. How can somebody who has been leading the BWU for six years in their first speech in parliament, when workers all over the news accusing their union ,as lacking in representing them ,not use that first opportunity to express strong disgust.
    Moore is known to parliament, she has been sitting in the senate.
    She missed a golden opportunity to set the right tone on day one.

    Also most notable is David ability and most importantly David BU success in digging rabbit holes and have the BU commentator heads down them
    The most interesting of all to watch is David being the puppeteer how he can pull so many strings all at one time
    All and sundry knows that there is torrid appetite amongst whites to have an economic agenda which shuts blacks out financially from getting blacks share of the economic pie
    Doesnt take a wizard not to realise that truth which is a truth staring all in the face e.g baxters rd. Nelson st.and bridgetown environs along some parts of bay street predominately blacks where blacks live and honed their livelihoods in business with great success in the sixties
    Now if one take a look at the south and west coast the business atmosphere is completely different
    As far as the white business person is considered all areas where there is a favourable economic foundation for black business to thrive those areas should be left alone to decayed
    Examples are those areas which i mention and which were booming in the sixties until the white hotelier stepped in and all of a sudden black businesses began to flounder in those areas (suspect or perpetrator)
    Dont ask me why.. not in the mood to explain
    But this i say the test is in the looking and comparing

    Spent a lovely afternoon in my Garden of Peace. Was having a serious conversation with my buzy bee as he flitted from flower to flower on the basil plants which I was attempting to deflower. I gave him a message for his queen because she seemed to be disrespecting my garden, implying that I only had work for one bee. As I was delivering my message, my eye espied a tiny red and black spot on an okra plant – a rare occurence – a ladybird, then two, then three. Haven’t seen three ladybirds together in years. And to top it all off, a beautiful yellow butterfly flew into the mix.

    But hey, even in my Garden of Peace there are some little green worms attacking my plants. I don’t waste time raging at them. I just spray my plants with neem extract. Yup! I soak the leaves and spray the stinky water on my leaves every day because of the rain.

    Going out now to do the spraying. No more time to bother with BU bugs!

    Some of you don’t have as much capacity for learning as the little green worms. I learnt my new approach from Bush Tea. He said we have the power to change our circumstances without the white man’s consent. I thought about it and I concluded that he was correct.

    So…I have grown since I came to BU. Many of you are like old dogs – you can learn no new tricks. You are stuck in the mud. You are set in your ways.

    I’m sure if you re-read your contributions, you’ll immediately discover you’re the person who’s being “grossly disingenuous.” Yesterday, for example, you wrote, “Workers yesterday standing outside the hotel fighting for their severance pay was a testimony to what Toni Moore would not do for workers as the workers fought alone while Toni Moore was in Parliament.”

    That is ‘far from the truth.’ The union’s Industrial Officers are assigned to deal with various employee issues across specific industries. The employees never “fought alone,” because BWU’s Industrial Officer Davida Forde was PRESENT at yesterday’s protest action REPRESENTING them. It’s her job, according to you, “to press forward and act with urgency on their behalf.”

    Why do you believe it was necessary for Moore to be present at the resort, when an Industrial Officer was already there?
    Could you please explain what more Toni could have done, said or achieved if she had intervened in the matter………. or talked about it in the House, that Davida was unable to do, say or achieve?

    I’m not looking for any excuses to defend Ms Moore. But, it’s ludicrous for you to ‘talk about’ her “voice of silence,” simply because she may not have mentioned anything about Club Barbados during her first sitting as an MP yesterday in Parliament.
    Do you believe yesterday in parliament was the appropriate time and place for her to address the Club Barbados severance payments issue, while union negotiations with the resort’s management are ongoing………….. or talk about every industrial relation dispute the BWU is currently dealing with?

    And, remember, you’re the person who introduced ‘time period’ into the discussion, when you sought to unfairly judge Moore after only one session in the Lower House. Wouldn’t it be better, as David suggested, to wait until for her subsequent contributions in coming sessions to accurately judge her?

    Is there bigotry, prejudice, crypto-racism, classism etc? Yes there is! Does it mean that Barbados comparatively is the worse country in the world? The blogmaster contends we are no worse to compare to USA, UK or Canada.

    Barbados is actually much worse. Blacks number about 13% of the population in USA and about 3% in the UK and Canada. Quantitatively, they are very palpable minorities in most parts of these countries. There is no comparison to Barbados.

    Blacks are close to 95% of the population in Barbados. What is the Black Bajan excuse for tolerating so much disrespect and racism from the Albinos in the country for this long? The Albinos control the economic power in Barbados ipso facto they control the politics.
    Because the Albinos sidestep the quinquennial charade doesn’t mean that they do not pull the strings of your beloved politicians from behind the scenes.

    Again I ask, what is the BBBB excuse?

    So….racism is worse in Barbados because we have a predominantly black population??????

    That makes absolutely no sense whatsoever.

    Racism is measured by the treatment meted out to us not by how we respond to it and how much we have managed to overcome.

    We have not been able to turn it around because yes, we are psychologically damaged and had, or in some cases still have, inferiority complexes. And when I say we, I mean the majority of us. This is precisely why I say that we need to free our minds and stop wanting to play golf and sit down with the white people afterwards and dream of invitations to their homes and carry chips on our shoulders if the invitations never come.

    This is why we need a different approach.

    However, another reason why we have not agitated further may also be because most of us are just comfortable enough not to bother. Life may not be fair but it is livable for the majority of us.

    So you fell so easily into the trap set just for you?

    You actually know for a ‘fact’ that the imaginary ‘business’ hotel is going to cost less by $100 million worth of scratch grain than was quoted to trap a blinkered jackass like the fool Enuff.

    Is this the same burden of a beast called “Enuff” who only recently started to claim he knows nothing about the Hyatt and seeks to distant himself from the imaginary erection?

    Don’t you know yet (aren’t you privy to the news), that in its recent incarnation, the Hyatt hotel will now be costing an additional US$100 million just because of Covid?

    What I said has been said many times by many people on BU and elsewhere. I am not the first but I have said it often. My point has always been that we must start at the beginning. The white man in his minority status will stay on top until we free our minds.

    I don’t know if it is the Rihanna effect, but I have found that many young people dream big dreams and have the belief that they can achieve them. They are also not as averse to risk and they are exploring non-traditional areas. Parents too have become more open to such and do not try to fit their children into boxes forcefully as they did before. They are more inclined to support their children as they follow their dreams.

    I don’t think that most young people are as damaged as the older folk. I am hopeful, not disspirited at the thought of the future.
