Your message to the BLOGMASTER was sent

I emailed Minister Abrahams the following, I am hoping that he receives many hundreds:


Minister Wilfred Abrahams,


You have failed to protect the vulnerable girls at GIS by removing all the staff who are implicated in the systematic torture of children by routinely incarcerating them naked in a bare concrete cell for days and weeks on end.

This treatment was contrary to the United Nations Convention against Torture and Other Cruel, Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment. It was also in breach of Article 5 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.

I understand that you have ordered that such torture not be repeated, but you have left the torturers in charge of the institution and you have left vulnerable girls in their charge. Furthermore, you have publicly stated that you have confidence in the staff who inflicted these inhuman and degrading assaults on vulnerable children.

Your catastrophic error of judgement has made me deeply ashamed of my Government.

You have left me no choice but to insist on your immediate resignation from your position as Minister of Home Affairs, Information and Public Affairs.

Yours sincerely,

Peter Thompson

  1. Very well thought out, you should write an article or even a book……many people will not know unless they see it written in black and white. You bring a whole new perspective, that is already known, but not broken down to this degree.

    “It all boils down to genetics and hijacking and perversing our culture to be so far removed from Africa and influenced by the colonizer country seen in the mediums of socialization that it keeps the genes forcefully acquired from a certain race to ALWAYS be active. The more active it is (along with grooming etc), the Afro descent will carry a Eurocentric mindset as well as a deep self hate for anything African and uplifting of everything relating that is non African (including the slick ways of keeping the people that look like them down) , the higher you go , the less African you should become and the evidence shows that with the leadership system and style held in the country as well as the value it upholds in terms of whose lives are prioritized in the country (on top of being groomed for the position(s) and selected based on coming from a cerain lineage that the purpose is to sell out for their own reason, there is more than one bloodline I might add. ) With that in mind , that is why they act the way they do, and majority of these sell outs and asleep people are unaware (or some are consciously aware of their actions) uphold this because the program was set up to keep that DNA active. In other words reenact and the colonial energy on the black majority population in order to keep the traumatized DNA from slavery to always be active.”

    555…you now have 2 lists to guide you….any further questions, just refer to the lists.

    i really don’t care who caused the debts or the thefts, corruption or the embezzlement….we know who cause the minority rule, racism, discrimation and oppression etc…..i know it was not the Black majority, it’s not their debt, they did not steal billions of dollars from the economy, benefited from none of it and don’t have to give a shit…you can take up all your other queries with DBLP….told ya am not interested in the politics, anytime you get an urge to ask me something about politicians, just check those two lists…


  2. Glad to see the young are such active participants, time for them to take over and put the colonial duppies to rest.

    Miller….the younger generation have now taken point. It was not in vain.

    https://barbadostoday.bb/2021/03/23/youth-activists-challenge-new-gis-directors/

    “A newly installed board at the Government Industrial School (GIS) has failed to gain the full support from a growing band of youth activists who are demanding clear criteria for the selections made and questioning the exclusion of people they say are younger and more qualified, Barbados TODAY can reveal.

    The activists are also questioning the fitness of at least two appointees whose ability to oversee the school’s affairs has been challenged in light of recent “deeply concerning” public statements.”


  3. Theo…i always had faith and held hope that the young will take up the mantel and bury the colonial duppies, looks like we will still see it happen.


  4. The Minister resign yet
    Wunna full of lyrics


  5. Angela…we know the drill, it was PLT who had no clue what to expect, he does now though.


  6. The power of the information highway…..they made it to the big times….and it will bring the attention of the right people, this cannot be forgotten in a few months…it has to move forward to its logical conclusion.

    “Barbados TODAY understands more than 100 local, regional and international organisations participated by posting solidarity messages across various social media platforms.”


  7. War on UUU
    one of your pet hates or gripes is when Mia went on Breakfast TV in UK to tell them about Barbados and it’s links with slavery which you found patronising and offensive but I thought she did well and came across as a good speaker.

    Her timing was sound as they were willing to hear her due to the George Floyd BLM protests and raising of issues about racism slavery and UK’s colonialist past. Otherwise people would have labelled her as a black radical and not even listened to her opinion.

    Brits are shockingly ignorant about history of slavery as it is has been buried due to their shame.
    For example many think Blacks were indigenous locals in Caribbean who were made slaves.
    They do not know about Royal Family’s link to Slave trade and their monopoly.
    They did not know that Barbados was Slave Port for slaves to America.
    They do not know about Slave Laws or Breeding of Slaves.
    Many are ignorant of the violence brutality and rape.

    Cosmo.X

    you will note I said ‘allegedly’ provide information about regions as DNA tests could well be scams to make money using guesstimates based on history of where you come from.


  8. Our government must now stand firm: like a solid rock. Do not retreat one millimetre in the face of the mob whipped up by the opposition.

    Soon our Corona Centre at Harrison Point will be empty. Then we should fill it up with opposition members.


  9. You read me all wrong…i keep telling you…

    “Mia went on Breakfast TV in UK to tell them about Barbados and it’s links with slavery which you found patronising and offensive.”

    i merely saw it as hopeful that something would actually be done about the mental enslavement, just as i suggested she DISMANTLE THE SLAVE SOCIETY and REMOVE ALL slave laws and slave codes off the statute books as soon as she was elected, it’s been nearly 3 years, i will leave you to wait to see if anything is ever done….let me know…i have very little patience and don’t wait on anything unless i believe it’s worth my time.

    it goes both ways, information was hidden from everyone who were not closely involved in or benefiting directly from the ambitious slave trade, but the only ones who really suffered were the enslaved and their descendants.

    i see Black suffering in this era as occasioned by black sellouts..


  10. Removing redundant slave laws from the books won’t suddenly fix inequalities in Barbados society and could be another red herring, there are many rich and many poor and it will still remain the same. Programs to help poor would have a more direct impact.


  11. … barking up the wrong tree

    Sir Lloyd is an accomplished politician. Why do you think that Tom Adams called him a “desert fox” ?
    You may have the last word on this one.


  13. “Programs to help poor would have a more direct impact.”

    that is what you want, did you ask the poor what they wanted for themselves., seeing as they now have options that were withheld and hidden from them before….the poor can now make their own decisions, they don’t need every tom dick and harrylal…deciding for them…they have no national debt to worry about, the whopping billion dollar debt, it’s not theirs, so they can move on to new beginnings….they certainly don’t need a notorious government pushing them into modern day slavery or trying to control their future.


  14. you are arguing for the sake of it doubling down on your nonsense diatribes defending your indefensible illogic with glaring holes

    it is not an online game to win by lies and mistruths as truths resonate louder

    one legacy of slavery and it’s exploitation that still lingers on is underpaying people for work they do especially low skilled manual labour


  15. whatever…what i started 8 years ago is working out just fine, don’t know what your agenda is, but you have no control over what happens in Black lives…the young people have taken up activism seriously, better than even i envisioned, very impressive that they will not let this government get away with any abuses and violations going forward…..even better, local, regional and international eyes are watching..

    the Black population now know THEY HAVE OPTIONS…WHICH YOU OR NO ONE ELSE CAN TAKE AWAY IN THIS EPOCH…

    that was the goal..

    the frauds can keep the fake brand and all that comes with it, they are on their own…


  16. you can pat yourself on the head and take credit for black awakenings which were long overdue and are happening naturally with or without you, you seem to think the info ideas and movements you find on net are original source, but it is the same info ideas movements going around being shared and worked on with new perspectives. I’m not black like you I get that, but you don’t have to be black to promote equal rights truth and rights human rights. You only want to credit black.


  17. instead of thinking of things in terms of white / black / brown / yellow / red with all shades in between
    think of yourself and others in terms of humanity


  18. It is all a matter of opinion. History has will judge.


  19. “think of yourself and others in terms of humanity.”

    ya talking shite, that is not the reality in the world, it’s all a manmade construct that POISONED THE EARTH OVER CENTURIES with COLOR CODING, that is what NEEDS TO BE ABOLISHED…that’s the reason for bringing it to everyone’s attention, especially where you live in UK…EVERYTHING IS SEEN IN TERMS OF COLOR…by design…..you should be telling that to the die hard colonists, NOT ME…i did not introduce the concept….they created it, let them destroy it….

    abolish that BLIGHTED EVIL in UK and it will be removed from around the world….instead of hiding behind it and pretend it does not exist, if i didn’t bring it to everyone’s attention in the last 8 years…we would NEVER HAVE MADE THIS PROGRESS where Bajan Black people who were deathly afraid before can go on FB and actually VOICE THEIR DISPLEASURE at two dangerous, anti-black disrespectful corrupt governments WITHOUT FEAR and call out the evil, thieving racist minoroties who have been ROBBING them generationally with the help of blackface sellouts for over 40 YEARS, before that you could not even get the population to work that out in their minds let alone discuss it on public forums, now we have a whole heap of new age activists …SAYING, ENOUGH…

    in addition, instead of making DECISIONS FOR BLACK LIVES….ya need to start making DECISIONS for the white lives where you live..IF YA DARE…….something else to abolish, Black people can make decisions in their own lives, they do not need THIEVING POLITICIANS to decide anything for them, yall are too disrespectful…and love to see the Black population under colonial rule and in generational poverty…begging for relief programs….ENUFF….


  20. As a matter of fact, i told cousin Boris to remove the racism and he jumped out and claimed there is no racism, so of course there is nothing to remove and he has been running up and down the length and breath of UK him and William claiming that..although knowing that WE ALL KNOW THAT’S A LIE…….you need to have a talk with those two..


  21. “.. if i didn’t bring it to everyone’s attention in the last 8 years…we would NEVER HAVE MADE THIS PROGRESS where Bajan Black people who were deathly afraid before can go on FB ..”

    you are no healer and are just as racist as the white faces but with an ugly black face


  22. you really need to stop with the FAIRYTALE NONSENSE…ya can’t even convince the yardfowls or the dumbest on BU, they have been here long enuff to understand the situation to varying degrees themselves, yet here you are still trying to champion racism, the lone idiot..now tell me how these Caribbean Black/African children deserve to be treated like outcasts IN RACIST UK…..you never mentioned this to us….now tell me ya dumb mouthings again about HUMANITY…

    Black/African people have to STOP ALLOWING WHITE CONSTRUCTS TO EDUCATE THEIR BLACK CHILDREN…and that includes racist, slave society Barbados…there is more criminal behavior in white children than black children or roma children or even poor irish…but the disparities are RIGHT THERE….

    “Exclusion rates for black Caribbean students in English schools are up to six times higher than those of their white peers in some local authorities, Guardian analysis has found, highlighting what experts have called an “incredible injustice” for schoolchildren from minority ethnic backgrounds.

    Gypsy, Roma and Traveller children were also excluded at much higher rates, with Roma children nine times more likely to be suspended in some areas. And exclusion rates for mixed-race white and black Caribbean students were more than four times higher than their white peers in several local authorities.

    The figures for the 2018-19 academic year were described as extremely concerning by Anne Longfield, the former children’s commissioner for England, while the Liberal Democrat MP Layla Moran, who commissioned House of Commons Library research into racial disparities in school exclusions, called for a “universal code”.

    The analysis comes as campaigners and thinktanks warn of school exclusions contributing to the criminalisation of children, while disproportionately affecting those from poorer backgrounds. A recent report by the Institute of Race Relations warned of a “PRU [pupil referral unit] to prison” pipeline for working-class black children.

    Figures show that in Cambridgeshire the fixed-term exclusion rate for black Caribbean pupils was more than six times higher than the rate for white British students, while in the London boroughs of Brent, Harrow and Haringey, the rate was more than five times higher. Though Cambridgeshire has a relatively small number of Caribbean students, which partially explains the disparity, Brent, Harrow and Haringey have significant Caribbean populations.

    Wokingham reported the largest disparity between white British students and mixed-race white and black Caribbean pupils. The latter group had an exclusion rate of 12.8%, about five times higher than the white British rate.

    In Gloucestershire, 12.4% of all black Caribbean students were given an exclusion in the 2018-19 school year, compared with just 2.4% of white British students.

    While fixed-term exclusion rates nationwide for black Caribbean students are 10.4%, compared with 6% of white British students, the Department for Education (DfE) data suggests that in many areas of the country, the racial disparity is far higher than the headline rate.

    Fixed-period exclusions are when a pupil is formally suspended from school for a set time, usually up to three days. The DfE says they must be “on disciplinary grounds” but the reasons for exclusion are at teachers’ discretion. The fixed-term rate is the total number of exclusions as a proportion of the headcount, and includes instances where multiple suspensions were given to one student over the course of a year.

    But Nicholas Treloar, a researcher at the race equality thinktank Runnymede Trust, said government-imposed targets and the constant pressure from Ofsted to “achieve” were to blame for higher exclusion rates.

    “Exclusions essentially criminalise children, and disproportionately impact on the poorest and most vulnerable. Children that, when excluded, do not have the socioeconomic means of buffering against the dangers of being out of school,” he said.

    “Research and data has shown that school exclusions have a detrimental impact on all schoolchildren in terms of educational outcomes and attainment levels. With BAME and Gypsy, Roma and Traveller children being disproportionately excluded, this will then have the biggest impact on these already vulnerable groups.”

    Longfield said: “We know that excluding a child can make them vulnerable to exploitation and can diminish their life chances. The majority of schools do excellent work supporting children and just 10% of schools are responsible for nearly 90% of exclusions.”

    Moran said the figures had highlighted an “incredible injustice” for schoolchildren from an ethnic minority background. “I believe we need a universal code with clear criteria setting out the grounds for exclusions, to prevent any forms of bias and discrimination,” she said. “With coronavirus looking likely to lead to a rise in exclusions, this is more important than ever.”


  23. “..now tell me how these Caribbean Black/African children deserve to be treated like outcasts IN RACIST UK…..you never mentioned this to us….now tell me ya dumb mouthings again about HUMANITY…”

    Stop projecting your falsities and untruths

    blacks should not be treated as outcasts in Racist UK

    and that’s why people fight against racism and mix with blacks as friends and peers


  24. What is really happening in Barbados?

    These are troubling times in Barbados. And what makes it even more disturbing is that with the exception of perhaps one senator, and a very few others, there is a wall of silence from erstwhile vocal social commentators, now willingly emasculated, and a reluctance of academics and some legal brains to speak on matters of national importance likely to impact the lives of ordinary folk.

    Editorial
    Barbados today


  25. I REPEAT for emphasis….

    WHITE CHILDREN are more criminal in mind and behavior than ANY OTHER CHILDREN….

    we just had to who turned grownups…murdered 18 people in the space of a couple days in uS, one idiot sheriff or whatever he was claimed one was having a bad day…so miss me with the coverups….these savages should be CAGED…


  26. “and a reluctance of academics and some legal brains to speak on matters of national importance likely to impact the lives of ordinary folk.”

    that’s why they have to be exposed to the 4 corners of the earth for how they COVER UP and CONDONE human rights violations and severe social and financial breaches against the Black population in Barbados…..bar association WAS FORCED to make a statement when they realized the level of exposure or they wouldn’t have said a word, it took them nearly two weeks to give a wishy washy statement, in these kinds of human rights abuse, blowback SHOULD BE INSTANT and resounding…. not take 2 weeks to hear a whole law organization protest…..they are only interested in their politically attained jobs and salaries and owned body and soul by the government of the day, as far as they are concerned as long as it don’t impact them, they don’t care..


  27. @Kiki

    Discussions will reach a point sometimes when the sensible thing to do is to agree to disagree and move on.


  28. PLT

    There is no tradition in Barbados for political or corporate elites to resign, regardless of the case.

    Not even in Westminster, from whence this culture is said to have come, this notion about people resigning for perceived malpractice is merely quaint.

    Tony Blair carried that country to an illegal war, killing a million Iraqis and he remains the most potent force behind the Labour-Tory duopoly there.

    In Barbados, we’ve had the worst forms of political malpractice by the last regime and they still receiving pensions today. Some may say this one has a way to go yet!


  29. Don’t be a worrier like a Bajan

    Kunte Kinte Vs Jah Shaka

    Kunte Kinte* the African warrior says do not no tarry here and leave ya

    (*) Kunta Kinte was born circa 1750 in the Mandinka village of Jufureh, in the Gambia. He was raised in a Muslim family. One day in 1767, while Kunta was searching for wood to make a drum for his younger brother, four men chased him, surrounded him, and took him captive.

    A little birdie has told me that the black face Government of Barbados has been keeping the Black Africans in Barbados as perpertual Slaves in mental slavery and bondage by design still for two score years plus fourteen…

    does that mean that the Gob should pay them reparations too

    Jah Shaka the Zulu Warrior runs things in London Town

    Kunta Kinte, Jah Shaka, Kunte Kinte – The African Warrior, Mad Professor

    Jah Shaka – Live Dancehall Session, Slavery Dubplate, Icho Candy


  30. For those living in their fake world and fraud of a toxic contrived social framework…this is the reality.

    Time for Black/African people to establish their own schools and teach African history and culture, anything else and Black children will be criminalized, tortured and murdered, while miseducated and indoctrinated…

    see what Barbados does to its children, even those savages, your children must be kept away from….African children are at risk….and always will be under the current construct.


  31. “Some may say this one has a way to go yet!”

    Pacha…no one has to wait for any “way to go”…

    they want you to sit quietly and wait until they all DROP DEAD FROM GLUTTONY..

    we have the POWER to remove ourselves FROM THEIR TOXIC POISONS…..remember, they have no creative gifts and skills and rely on ROBBING OTHERS OF THEIRS…..black John confessed that on the blog already, but we already knew..

    if you see a train run off its tracks or a car running off the road toward you..YOU MOVE OUT OF ITS WAY BEFORE THE COLLISION…unless ya got a DEATH WISH…and Barbados’ sleazy politicains are too SMALL TIME and BASIC for anyone with intelligence to stay in their orbit and go down with them….let them keep the STOLEN SALARIES…and STOLEN PENSIONS….and REPAY THE NATIONAL DEBT in the billions that THEY CAUSED….through thefts and corruption.

    i would be ravi.


  32. That’s why am trying to impress on PLT that his very impressive GIFTS AND SKILLS are needed much more elswhere where it will be thankfully appreciated and applied intelligently to upgrade lives..


  33. Pacha…nothing is stopping this movement…our ancestors don’t make errors..

    they are powerless to do anything else anyway and maliciously wouldn’t UNLESS FORCED TO…


  37. Pastor Baird has come out swinging, hard!

  38. She could swing as hard as she likes….THE BARBADOS CONSTITUTION specifically states that there should be NO INHUMANE TREATMENT against the population and THAT INCLUDES THE ISLAND’S CHILDREN…..among other things, those amendments should SUPERCEDE ACTIVE SLAVE LAWS…


  39. Chapter iii

    PROTECTION OF THE FUNDAMENTAL RIGHTS AND FREEDOM OF THE INDIVIDUAL

    Whereas every person in Barbados is entitled to the fundamental rights and freedoms of the individual, that is to say, the right, whatever his race, place of origin, political opinions, color, creed or sex, but subject to respect for the rights and freedom of others and for the public interest, to each all of the following, namely –

    (a) life, liberty and security of the person: and
    (b) protection for the privacy of his home and other property and from deprivation of property without compensation;
    (c) the protection of the law; and
    (d) freedom of conscience, of expressin and of assembly and association,

    but this does not happen in Barbados for the Black population does it, never have, so governments with their Public Order Act, minority rule, racism, LARGE SCALE THEFTS from the people and oppression etc VIOLATES THE CONSTITUTION AS IT RELATES TO AFRICANS..


  40. Waru

    You think any of that has mattered, will matter.

    This is going to be another project to serve and save face for the party in power.

    Anybody claiming to have morals and values but whose very being is predicated on unprovable claims cannot reform anything.


  41. (1) No person shall be held in SLAVERY or SERVITUDE
    (2) No person shall be required to perform FORCED LABOR
    (1) No person shall be subjected to TORTURE or to INHUMAN or to degrading punishment or other treatment.

    (2) Nothing contained in or done under the authority of any law shall be held to be inconsistent with or incontravention of this section to the extent that the law in question authorizes the infliction of any punishment or administration of any treatment that was lawful in Barbados immediately before 30th November 1966.

    (3) The following shall not be held to be inconsisten with or in contraventin of this section:
    (a) the imposition of a mandatory sentence of death of the execution of such sentence;
    (b) any delay in executing a sentence of death imposed on a person in respect of a criminal offense under the law of Barbdos of which he has been convicted;
    (c) the holding of any person who is in prison, or otherwise lawfully detained, pending execution or a sentence of death imposed on that person, in conditions, or under arrangements which immediately before 5th Septemebt, 2002.

    (i) were prescribed by or under the Prisons Act, as then in Cap 168 force: or
    (ii) were otherwised practiced in Barbados, in relation to persons so in prison or so detained.

    they have violated the rights of all the children ever held at GIS, the place should be shut down, all the miniters of governments know, so too those in the bar association and supreme courts…they have all VIOLATED THE CONSTITUTION AS IT RELATES TO THE CHILDREN AS GIS….lucy baird can continue it, she DESERVES A PRISON SENTENCE….all of them involved in this travesty of crimes against children should be in prison, i don’t think TORTURE has a statute of limitations.

    PROTECTION FROM DEPRIVATION OF PROPERTY

    (1) No property of any description shall be compulsorily taken possession of, and no interest in or right over property of any description shall be compulsaority acquired, except by or under authority of a WRITTEN LAW, and were provision applying to that acquisition or taking of possession is made by writtin law-

    (a) prescribing principles on which and the manner in which compensation therefor is to be determined and given; and
    (b) giving to any person claiming such compensation a right of access, either directly or by way of appeal, for the determination of his interest in or right over the property and the amount of compensation, to the High Court..

    they have ALL STOLEN PROPERTIES from the elderly and their beneficiaries for DECADES…violating the constitution and should ALL BE IN PRISON….all the lawyers, ministers, etc who robbed THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE KNEW WHAT THEY DID IS ILLEGAL and did it anyway….their slave society will now bite them in their corrupt ass.


  42. “You think any of that has mattered, will matter.”

    we know they don’t care Pacha…that is what i told PLT…but since they are now running hither and yon trying to replace the billions they all stole from the people on the island and even crawling on the ground pretending to be Africans…….the WORLD HAS TO KNOW THE CRIMINALS THEY ARE DEALING WITH, ESPECIALLY AFRICA…can’t make anything easy for these SAVAGES..


  43. so they got some fly by night 2-bit reverend jumping out ALTHOUGH THEY KNOW THEY HAVE ILLEGALLY TORTURED THESE CHILDREN FOR A VERY LONG TIME…..and the only thing the bar association can say is they are “deeply concerned”

    ah wonder what concerns them most now out of all the other crimes committed against the Black population in Barbados.


  44. “No Statute of Limitations: Torture
    By TMC in Politics

    There is no statute of limitations on torture, not only for those who commit the crime but for those who condone, cover it up of refuse to prosecute it. It is illegal under International and US Law. ”

    just as i thought…..there should be NO TORTURE OF ANY KIND IN BARBADOS….not under any circumstances, EXCEPT for a sentence of DEATH….

    and as everyone sees there is no statute of limitations….what all the ministers and all the other practitioners and criminals did at GIS is TORTURE…


  45. Pacha…i knew something had those two, abrams and the fake GIS principal sweating bricks, stuttering and talking too fast the other day….now we know what…they KNOW THEY HAVE BEEN CAUGHT TORTURING CHILDREN illegally and against the laws of the island and the Constitution..

    but although they know what they did…they STILL FIRED THE BOARD for bringing it to their attention AND KEPT THE TORTURERS ON TAXPAYER’S PAYROLL….to stop them from talking…..


  46. @Pacha

    Your deliberate provocative positions are now legendary on the blog. Try to be constructive in a matter that all concerned agree will be changed. Let us give the people the opportunity to respond. Blame has been assigned, let us see of it goes.


  47. November 2019
    Female Minister of Education.
    Male student stabbed at school, under Ministry of Education, dies.
    Board of institution, headed by a female, and the minister; few calls to resign.

    March 2021
    Male Minister of Home Affairs.
    Female minor at institution, under Ministry of Home Affairs, photographed while naked: photo is reportedly circulated on social media.
    The institution’s board, headed by a male, relieved of its duties; “”the minister should resign” becomes a chorus.

    Where is the gender equity?
    If a female had died of the stabbing and a male was photographed, how different would the outcry be?
    Are female Cabinet members given greater leeway and their male colleagues less due to gender?
    Is a violent death less of a worry to society than a degrading photo?


  48. (1) Subject to the provisions of this section-

    (a) no law shall make nay provision that is discriminatory either of itself or in its effect; and
    (b) no person shall be treated in a DISCRIMINATORY MANNER by any person acting by virture of any written law or in the performance of the function of any PUBLIC OFFICE or any PUBLIC AUTHORITY.

    (2) In this section the expression “discrimnatory” means affording DIFFERENT TREATMENT to different person attributable wholly or MAINLY to their respective descriptions BY RACE, place of origin, political opinions, color or creed, whereby person of one such description are subjected to DISABILITIES or restrictions to which persons of another such description are not made subject or are accorded privileges or advanaed whic are NOT AFFORDED to persons of another such description…

    So these colonial criminals KNEW ALL ALONG that they were VIOLATING BLACK RIGHTS, refused to even ACKNOWLEDGE that these laws existed because they know Bajans would hardly do any research…and they could get away with breaking EVERY ONE……those LAWYERS ALL KNEW butnow pretending concern…but they got the island UNDER MINORITY RULE with RACISM and DISCRIMINATION weaponized against the Black population ALTHOUGH THE CONSTITUTION provides RELIEF AND PROTECTION TO THE PEOPLE…they only recognize minorities having those privileges and yall will tell me these wild animals don’t deserve a prison cell somewhere off the island…all of them including those dangerous, racist minorities.

    the days of pretending that Elizabeth forced yall treat Black people like slaves are OVER.

    the days of pretending it’s EU forcing yall to treat Black people like slaves ARE OVER…you BEASTS..


  49. @Paula,
    I think you stretched your reasoning a bit too far.
    In case 1: Any idiot can go to school with a knife and stab a next person. Whilst I would push for greater security in schools, would not hold the minister directly responsible. It would be safe to assume that the person who committed the crime will be punished.

    Case 2: This is not just any idiot.
    These are people hired to serve and protect these children and instead are abusing them. The Minister had an opportunity to investigate and punish the responsible staff. He did not.

    For some reason, some seek to put this in a man versus woman framework.


  50. Did you notice that Peter is one of the few persons who placed their head on the block.
    It is our silence and our fear that allows ministers/high officials to act as they want to do.
    They know that (1) the average Barbadian is a coward (2) the good and the bad loves secrecy, and (3) the short attention span will make us lose focus.

    Here is some good advice:
    PLT, I have found you to be a brave and honest man. In the future, if it is family then fight and fight hard. If it is not family, then follow the crowd.

    PLT, I :-)wrote 🙂 this just for you
