GONE HAYWIRE

Prime Minister Mia Mottley shows off a Kensington Oval ready for T20 World Cup
Submitted Observing

Things are so out of whack recently that I think we have gone haywire. Let me just toss a few random disjointed thoughts out there to get a real real feel for where we are right now.

  1. Persons on bail for vicious murders…BUT…end up committing others after
  2. Local parties and fetes are restricted…BUT…visitors can plan 2 months ahead of time and party soon with wild abandon
  3. Large outcry over the Trojan Riddim…BUT…and even larger outcry over the outcry over the Trojan Riddim
  4. MAM says take down the Riddim AND apologise…BUT…so far 166 thousand views, 3000 likes and Sunday School still wukking
  5. NUPW elected to represent workers…BUT….NUPW has to call in the police to save itself
  6. Minister boasts that cruise ships coming…BUT…positive cases still showing up on liners abroad
  7. We say the children under severe pressure…BUT…we force the same children to do Common Entrance
  8. Auditor General report speaks of problems…BUT…not a peep or pang from the GoB or BLP about it
  9. Cruise ships mashup Carlisle Bay coral…BUT…Minister says no problem he will plant it back
  10. Road tax removed to supposedly ease consumers….BUT……gas prices (and said tax) increasing every single month
  11. Hotel workers cannot be forced to take the vaccine…BUT…guests can demand that they do
  12. There is no price gouging they say…BUT…ask any supermarket buyer and you’ll hear different
  13. Four Seasons money written off by government…BUT…the main lawyer and main adviser running the same government coffers currently
  14. Verla’s ready to lead the DLP to next year’s election…BUT…she has to beat a certain Guy first.

See what I tell ya. We Gone Haywire.

    Give it a rest! It is obvious that she did not even pay any attention to her own appearance.

    Not her best look either

    By the way…..if you think the old man’s dignity has been violated in the photograph – why the HELL do you keep publishing it!

    I had not seen it until you did so.

    You are guilty of doing exactly what you accuse Mia of doing.

    You are using the poor old man to frame a partisan political narrative.

    You cannot condemn her without condemning yourself!

    You go, girl!

    Not only violated ( your words)
    But she didn’t even have the presence of mind to recommend for him to wear a mask
    Her pre-occupation to present herself in the photo op took precedent

    As a citizen reporter I have every right to report on a story at any time

    On the photo….

    One would have to agree that the gentleman could have been presented in a better light.

    The same help could have been rendered to the gentleman and his dignity preserved; but somewhere someone made the decision that being seen with the man in his state was a good photo-op for Mia.
    .
    We must also consider the story that this picture would tell to an international audience. Some may not take the time to explore the reason but just go with first impression.

    Now we will hear that politicians all over the world routinely have photos of themselves taken when they are lending the less fortunate a helping hand.

    It was my intention to not comment on the photo, for I knew what AC was doing, but I did not like how her message was delivered.

    I am aware that in some situations delivering a picture of people in their Sunday best is impossible.

    I am also aware that calculations are made and sometimes the end result may satisfy an agenda.

    Let’s not keep the reposting the photo on BU.

    But, you go girl.

    And yesterday I posted two I tube videos one of which highlited the man telling of his story
    Twice I tried placing them on BU but without any results ( although an error said that they were posted before )
    The video would have lend some balance to Mia photo op
    I guess that’s the way the story goes

    We can hear the same story and come away with a different meaning. We can see the same picture and come to a different understanding.

    One could look at the picture and see a Prime Minister lending a helping hand to a citizen in distress.

    A next person can look at the same picture and see a Prime Minister using the desperate situation of a citizen for possible future political benefit.

    Who is right?
    Who is wrong?

    Context appears to be a new magical world that negates what others see differently.

    That u tube video would have suffice presenting a picture of reality during and after the storm
    Instead if Mia trying to control a narrative that was wrong and made her look bad in the photo ops

    And the PM has the right, no responsibility to visit citizens in distress who often have not had the time to visit the beauty salon in preparation.

    Was the photographer commissioned by the Prime Minister’s Office to take this photograph or was this taken by a private sector media house during the regular course of his duties?

    Steupse man, steupse!

    Getting more ridiculous by the day!

    You go, girl! Straight to Clowntown!

    If that was my dad presented next to Mia in that manner
    She would have a lot of answering to do to me
    I know with certainty if the person was white that pic would not have made it across social media
    But most think black people are fools and accept anything
    At least some kind of effort could have been made or asked of the man to button his shirt
    Here is a pic depicting this elderly gentleman as a down and out disheveled loser
    Mia needs to take a break from her PR machine

    You introduced color, I would not have done so. But though there is speculation, there is a lot of merit in what you say.

    The only way to call it is as you see it.

    You, go girl
    ——–x——
    Let me enter the realm of speculation.

    Politics is not a clean no-contact sports. Politicians seek every edge they can find. One must wonder if that picture would have seen the light of day if Mia did not want it to.

    Even, the way Mia was dressed is open to for speculation.
    Was it a hard-working Prime Minister who was prepared to get down and dirty in helping citizens or was it a look calculated to give that impression.

    I would not expect to all of us to have the same perception. After 50 years of BDLP government we have two sides separated by mainly their perceptions.

    Yes, there has been some serious mistakes (by both sides), but it remains to be seen if 2018 to 2028 will also be referred to as the lost decade.

    I too will tell it as I see it. Everyone can do the same.

    Ac why you don, t take a break? You and your comedian sidekick sounding more and more foolish everyday.Firstly you take stories off of social media without checking their accuracy and bring them here as gospel and when proven wrong still continue to argue rather than admit you were wrong.Artax has highlighted this story for awhile and if i have to chose between him and you i know who i would believe.Next you on about the elderly guy in the video.I believe he was very happy to see the PM took time out to come to see his situation for herself to render what help she could.What the hell does it matter the shirt he had on or how the PM dressed? The PM took a tour through all affected parishes not knowing before hand the type of damage she would see.Should she have gone to the beauty parlour first or lead her team out as soon as it was possible? You dems like to major in minors and that is why you are in the wilderness led by a political nightwatchman hopefully for another 15 or 20 years..Ms Mottley did what Mr Barrow , Both Mr Adams or Mr Arthur would have done that is lead from the front and not the back like the last PM.You are doing your party a great disservice.I gone.

    “Context appears to be a new magical world that negates what others see differently.”

    This is why I have such disdain for folks like you on BU. The level of disingenuity and hypocrisy is palpable. Here we have an elderly gentleman who in the midst of a storm had to leave his severely damaged house to seek refuge at a neighbour; and a ninny goat describes the gentleman as mirroring a runaway slave and the PM simply seeking a photo op. The man’s roof was blown off therefore the contents of his house were exposed to rain. What else would he be wearing if not his house clothes from the night before? Before you tell her she’s wrong, you’re busy cheering her on with the stangirlesque “go girl”. Now want right thinking people to buy into your fuckery about context. You very well know if the elderly man was in a 3-piece suit the idiot would have criticised the photo still. What’s even more repulsive is that persons whose houses were damaged by Tomas under her jaundiced brigade, never received the promised help and lost their roofs again. I rather see a PM out in the field engaging with Bajans (even in their old clothes) after a storm in a candid picture than a candidate handing people bottled water in a staged photo op. You folks are no better than the people you seek to denigrate daily.🖐🏾

    I don’t have time to waste. Arguing with the wrong and strong is clueless. I repeat, when it comes to St.Thomas and its MPs you struggle with facts…..actually that’s you whatever the topic. Egofowlism is a mofo.🤣🤣🤣

    Why not let the Minster responsible for Elder Affairs or the same ‘storm victim’s’ Parliamentary Representative for the area take the spotlight on this occasion?

    If MAM is the substantive MP for the area, so be it as she fulfils her fitting role.

    Does the title Primus inter Pares (first among equals) mean nothing in the current de facto dictatorship?

    I comment on what I like and when I like.

    Ac is a “big girl”. She can write what the hell she wants. It is not my job to ‘moderate’ her.

    I like the fact that she is running seven or eight of you ragged. All I can say is “You, go girl”.

    well in my books they are mere EMPLOYEES WHO NEED TO DO THEIR JOBS….working FOR THE BLACK POPULATION who elected them instead of for their FELLOW CROOKS who help them rob the aforementioned..

    .i don’t care who they think they are, they all GOTTA BEG FOR VOTES to become servants of the same people they TIEF FROM AND SELL OUT…

    so who are the current and former MPs for St. Joseph and St. Andrew that those communities are in the same or EVEN WORSE CONDITION…socially and financially, with NO WATER and billions of THEIR DOLLARS missing from the treasury and pension fund…

    yall kept at least 7 or 8 parishes under abject poverty for 54 YEARS with pockets of impoverishment in the other 3 or 4…POST ABOUT THAT…ya can’t, instead posting shite about a bunch of frowzy misrepresentatives famous for tiefing from taxpayers, pensioners…and estates from the general public.

    come again…fraud.
