Political people do political things for a reason Especially during the silly season
Teachers your shepherd was all bout Wildey
Your president … canvassing daily
No Bee … but busy all through the Pine
On Saturdays as early as nine
Wikie in Lascelles Terrace is base
But he will learn to know his place
Not too long before he retires
Since he’s a public servant and lighting fires
While he is planning to upset the lioness
It is Rastaman Grant he has actually to bes’
He could stop down below Regent Hill
Breeze out by Chop and chill
Cause he is not the candidate
Those are just the FACTS – straight
Now Miss Verla you see
This is my one and only plea
Tell teacher man for me
These licks won’t be nothing easy
And since the shepherd has a family
Before he is in a political cemetery
Tell him he has as much chance
As egg at rockstone dance

From BarbadosToday
“I would like there to be a commission of inquiry into the operations of the National Housing Corporation and the Ministry of Housing because some of the statements that I am hearing coming out from the minister [Dr William Duguid] and the ministry do not square with my knowledge,” he told the Senate.
But the Opposition Senator remained mum on the specific details while insisting on a judicial review of the housing ministry.
Senator Franklyn said: “The information that was given to me to settle that dispute does not accord to what the minister says, because of the information that I got I can say to you that someone has misled the minister. We need an investigation, and I mean a judicial inquiry, not a departmental inquiry because they don’t go anywhere, into the operations of the National Housing Corporation.”

A wasted 30-0 what an accomplishment four men jump ship or push over board
The koolaid ain’t working no more
A govt having a mandate but couldn’t keep the ship on course

Verla talks and talks and PM Mottley ignores her. Two years out and nobody knows what the lady stands for–philosophy, ideas, plans? Meanwhile the government keeps doing what it promised in its manifesto. Ronnie running for the DLP is as surprising as Toppin not running again.
@Enuff
The BLP rejected a good man who appears to bring something to the table if you examine his body of work. If he is able to win over Husbands he has a chance to vie for the leadership of the DLP. Interesting times ahead.

You better tell Verla.🤣
Manufacturers and retailers of school uniforms in Barbados have welcomed a proposal by the Mia Mottley administration for Government to step in and buy 70 per cent of their stock in light of them having no sales this year as schools are kept online.

ANGELA COLD
YOU ARE RIGHT THIS TIME
THIS DOES NOT MAKE SENSE EXCEPT TO KEEP ABED WHO MIGHT HAVE BEEN A SUP0OPRTER OF THE BLP AT THE LAST ELECTION IN BUISNESS (OF COURSE HE ALSO LIKELY GAVE THE DLP A LIKKLE TRA LA LA TOO)
BUT IN YOUR CASE, IT IS KNOWN THAT A STOPPED CLOCK IS RIGHT AT LEAST TWICE DAILY
“Measure your success by the number of attacks” and I would add, FROM BLP YARDFOWLS.
Many of us “attack” when she is talking BAFFLING (and not baffled) bullshit and we cannot take it anymore.
If the DLP stands firm against redeploying the Tainted Ones of the Lost Decade, and acquire quality candidates with ideas like Dr. Ronnie Yearwood, it stands a chance of regaining a reasonable number of seats. Unfortunately, (or fortunately) Verla may not be among them.
Then the “political nightwatchman” may have served her purpose. Nothing to sneeze at.
Just a thought – if properly stored, the school uniforms will not spoil by the time face to face classes resume. At that time most of the funds may be recovered by Government. They could be made available at the schools.
P.S. I have a few pieces of my son’s nursery school clothes in excellent condition even after being worn. Sixteen years old and could still be sold at a jumble sale.
“How is this possible when govt struggling to pay NIS and other social programs. Read where the Poverty Fund was place in suspension.”
It is possible because of the work White Oak, the other consultants and ministers have been doing from day one. The same ones you cuss daily. Just as they have already paid off $1.878B in arrears of the $1.9B left by the DLP government. Remember even tax returns were owed and reverse tax credits slashed? What your government couldn’t achieve in 10years, this one has bypass in half the time.
When did NIS payments become part of central government’s cash till though?
According to Barbados Today “the Auditor General Report…highlighted instances of misappropriation of funds from the” poverty fund. “In that report – 2007 to 2018 – the Auditor General disclosed that there had been disbursements from the fund that seemed not to readily fit the alleviation of poverty such as disbursements for mortgage arrears, a marriage seminar and sponsorship of shows.” Who was the government forbthe majority of that period?🤭

OK
Fair enough
But why hasn’t the Fund been put back in its proper place
The Fund has been suspended going into three years
It is only a few months that retailers been complaining about the large supplies of uniforms
It didn’t take govt much time to roll out a plan to buy 70percent of the stock
Almost three years and govt cannot find a plan of resolutions to restore the much needed Poverty Fund to help the poor and most vulnerable
Phew
Wish her luck.

Why u so early jumping up and down
Instead u should be worried on how PM taking the taxpayers money and feeding the belly of the rich
In less than a week she gives millions away
The German guy and now to the big fat cats called business people
Meanwhile the small business man still begging with cup in hand to have a space in those 2×4 huts I. Fairchild Street market
Almost two years and still not finished
Source: Nation
Remember saying that govt should put money in the people’s hand to help stimulate the economy
The criticism was one of asking where would govt get the money from
Now lo and behold in the twinkling of an eye govt finds money not the PM money but taxpayers money to buy a whopping 70 percent of big businesses school supplies
How can this be happening
Who gave govt such a permission to use tax payers money as govt sees fit
Where is the transparency
Was this gawd awful decision debated in the house of Parliament
Meanwhile the small business person is asked to hold strain

Father in heaven, help.

Ok.Ezra you score political points
However the timing of these falling blp brass bowls is significant as it ties itself to a historical 30-0 win and to a vote of confidence handed to present govt which is now unravelling
What one is seeing is the unmasking of the realities of what is taking place in the party
Given that at present time unlike under Sandy there was economic turmoil and the populace was upset
Given that during that period there was a boisterous and more calls for change
One does not see the same happening that should give cause for so many of the govt MP’s to jump ship
Hence Verla response would have given a spark of energy to shine the spotlight on cracks within govt and the populace to gaze with eyes wide open on cracks which govt might have rather prefer to stay close and populace looking at those cracks as lack of confidence against govt a govt unable to keep it’s cabinet together
Needless to say it makes for fertile political ground on the playground of politics
Most likely the rum shop politics of the day would be centred around local politics and not Mia on world stage speaking on global warming
Gazzerts let me simplyfy it for you.When you in sa glass house you should never throw stones.All of what Mr Alleyne has ststed actually happened not imagined during previous dem administrations.As a dem you along with Ms Depeiza and AC should know your history before putting your foot in your mouth.The political nightwatchmsn sbould think before she speaks simple.As a matter of fact i seem to remember this same Ms Depeiza losing a nomination convincingly to Mr Abed but still being forced on the Christ Church West constituents by i believe then PM Mr Stuart and their hierachy.So much for democracy from the dems..All bajans ain,t got short memories .I gone.

Correct
But by the same reasoning all of what is happening in the govt Cabinet is real and not a figment of anyone’s imagination and should be gazed on with equal scrutiny as was done to the past dlp administration’s
Don’t get it twisted a good spin maybe from Ezra
However a spin which does not exempt present govt from the watching eyeballs and listening ears and gasping mouths of the public
Run up and bowl again
A bit of history:
Dr. Clyde Mascoll, led the Democratic Labour Party into a general election. He lambasted all the economic policies of Owen Arthur. The same Mascoll brought a no confidence motion against the BLP government. When he lost the parliamentary leadership of the DLP, as opposition leader , he then joined the same BLP that he opposed and had brought a no confidence motion against. He went on to criticise everything his former party did and became a member of the same cabinet/government / party he had brought a no confidence motion against.He even contested a seat he won under the DLP for the BLP. Similar to what Artherley did; won under B switched to D.
Today, Dr. Clyde Mascoll, is a consultant and prominent member of the BLP.
The question: Would it be fair to conclude that Mascoll did all of that just to get a “ pick”.
Looking at the political careers of : Kerry Simmons, Ralph Thorne, Hamilton Lashley, Rudi Grant, Trevor Prescod, David Commisiong and several others, who have been political grasshoppers should one conclude they are all just “ pick” seekers?
When the NDP was euthanized, Rommel Marshall, Ian Gooding -Edghill and dozens of others, joined the BLP.
Would it be fair to conclude that they were all just looking for a “ pick”
Now recent political history:
Mia Mottley became the leader of the opposition BLP. She was subsequently removed in what can be termed a palace coup and replaced by Owen Arthur.
Question: Would it be fair to conclude that during that time she was leading the opposition, she was just a “ night watchman” .
Conclusion:
There is so much broken glass on the ground because so many of us who live in glass houses continue to throw stones.
Shameless political miscreants.
All that we are witnessing now is the decadent and opportunistic politics practiced by the Democratic Labour Party and the Barbados Labour Party. It will not move the country one inch forward.
And the politically cunning Ezra Alleyne, is no doubt having great fun and must be very amused and no doubt is enjoying himself knowing that his columns are actually being taken as serious political commentary.
@Lorenzo
You must forgive me. I am not bogged down with details of B vs D party history and will compliment and defend Mia if she does well so I am not a true DLP.
Perhaps ACLP is a better fit. AC Loyalists Party. That’s the horse that I am backing and she’s running only on BU.
A word to Verla: BTW, AC has done more for the exile DLP than any other person. She has as good a chance as any.
Correction
Should read similarly to what Atherley did: win with B then switch , inventing PdP. My apologies.
Skinner i knew you would jump out to defend.The true dem neutral to a t.Whereas Mr Mascoll did all of whst you said you have conviently left out the reason he did so.Let me refresh your dem memory.Mr Mascoll took up the shambles lefy by your golden boy Mr Thompson who ran away from a certain third straight defeat by Mr Arthur which would have ended any chance of him becoming PM and brought back the dems to some respectability.Then what happens in gearing up for elecyions in 2008 in jumps Mr Thompson aided anf abetted by the elders and some of Mr Mascoll,s colleagues and stab him in the nack.The opportunidt Mr Thompson scenting the possibility of victory is elected leader again.I do not know about yoy but i would be very angry at that state of affairs and would have done the same and left.Therefpre Skinner when telling a story tell the full story do not cherry pick your facts.I gone.
@ Lorenzo
I am defending nothing or no one. Is there anything in my post that is untrue or inaccurate ?
All I have done is demonstrate that there is nothing new or earth shattering happening on the current political scene regarding candidates entrances and exits.
I have no dog in this fight.
Question to you again:
Have I written anything here that is inaccurate or anything that did not occur?
Question # 2
What or whom did I defend or tried to defend ?
It’s merely an accurate review of some political episodes.
I have no dog in this fight my brother.
Peace.
Once last comment.
For Lorenzo, you are either B or D. And it’s even simpler than that, if you aren’t B then you are D.
My reading of these exits is that these oldsters know that they are too tired to handle the hard work that is to come. Except for John King, that is.
Dum running from de wuk, not Mia!
@Donna
Agreed!
