Labour marched with capital to bring a government to its knees.
Labour accepted 18% less of a salary increase after a government changed.
Labour sat with a Government to publicly criticise a sister union.
Labour sat by while rights were trampled, employees went to the great beyond and disadvantageous policies continued to be rammed down the throats of the masses.
Labour sits silent, while injustices are meted out even amidst the voices and cries of others.
A whole press conference with backup to save face for ANOTHER badly rolled out policy and justified concerns of nurses.
When labour, capital and the government become one and the same, the people have no choice but to suffer.
God’s blessings on the Davids, Caswells and Douglas Trotmans of this world.
Will the real leaders please stand up?
“Follow the leader right or wrong; drink the poisonous cool aid…………..”
Yep…..and DIE..
there are already in place some very conscious young people, but the destruction to the depressed areas in terms of neglect, is killing this generation….and the misleaders are tone deaf and waiting for a miracle….because they are distracted with their selves..
the younger generation need an ANCHOR….and it does apply across the Caribbean..the losers in the parliaments ARE NOT IT… they are manufactured so nothing comes naturally to them..
who want to get vex…..tough….am probably banned from a few countries anyway, show me attitude….lol
Sargeant.
My first comment to Haether was something to the effect that it is unbelievable that Mia only knew about the gun on plain incident the day before she had the press conference. Facts are that i do not know when she first knew so i cannot say what she said is a lie. but i know for sure that mia did no promise us any report so i can say WS statement was a lie.
Anyone saying Mia lied about the caswell check or when she knew about the airport gun incident would get no “u telling lie ” response from me. All the evidence provided here on BU and the fact that she never refuted would lead to the conclusion that she lied.
@ DONNA /WS
If WS was AS honorable as you said/ if what he said was a mistake the the statement would have been withdrawn at the point where David corrected him. When i first read his comment i was going to ask him to provide the proof (that we promised a report) but then i saw Davids correction and i just liked/starred comment to indicate that it was correct. Even if he had ignored the correction and moved on i would have left it there. it was after i read his trying to “whitewash” it and attacking david that decided to comment ( not that i was defending David or Mia – they are both capable).
Now this thing about calling him a liar. I never called anyone a Liar. i said his statement about being promised a report was a lie – and i still stand by that.
IMO Mia was caught up in two lies. would i call her a liar? No.
WS statement that we were promised a report – and we didnt get it as promised is inaccurate/wrong/ a fabrication/ alternate fact/ BIG FAT LIE
If any of you(WS, Donna , Sarge) can provide the proof that i am wrong then will withdraw my statement and apologise to all 3 of you.
The BS about what he would have expected etc does not sway me. i dont think he is stupid so why would he expect something from a politician the was never even promised or even hinted at? John A is still waiting for the promise in the manifesto for the referendum on becoming a republic. some are still awaiting the jobs creation report (that was not promised). David was waiting for a year for a promised upgrade at the south coast sewage plant. etc etc.
Now Donna if it Was WW/Mari instead of WS you would have been singing a different tune. like you and like WS i too think i call it as i see it. if it was my son that made that statement i would have told him it was wrong and if i thought he was lying i would tell him that much.
WS had the opportunity to withdraw/adjust his comment but he failed to do so. truth is i didnt not care if the did or not but if he did i would not have made my comment.
PS i am also aware of the trick of throwing something out there and the apologising after but in reality ur damage is already done.
PS the closest thing Mia came to a promise was that “the person responsible for the breach would be held accountable” – and instead of a promise to us it could have instead have been a threat to G4
@ John 2
You are quite within your right to stick to your position. And I was in my right to respond to your accusation.
BTW , others are in their right to also give their views. My dear friend it’s called democracy.
I will have no further comment on this matter.
Peace

you do not call out any of the bribetaking LIARS and FRUADS in the parliament, you are a HYPOCRITE….ya may want to try cleaning that up to sound more credible..
Now i won’t be me if i did not mention this, the world is suffering from Covid-MANIA and the small islands are also infected because of their copycat mentalities, case in point, someone went to a clinic last night because they had some vomiting and stomachache, turns out it was slight case of food poisoning….so apparently, there are NO OTHER AILMENTS and SICKNESSES in existence anymore……EXCEPT FOR COVID….now why the hell would anyone go for a Covid test with a stomach ache..not everything is Covid symptoms.
There was an article recently where patients are not only being NEGLECTED but are DYING because EVERYTHING is being labeled Covid…this is getting beyond ridiculous and your leaders ARE SO USELESS they are the ones perpetrating this and COSTING ENDLESS LIVES….but got the nerve to jump out talking crap about a well deserved nurse’s strike is risking lives….no, yall are the ones wilfully KILLING PEOPLE with ya IGNORANCE and these so called medical professionals need to STOP THAT IDIOCY.
William…someone will soon sue them for this, they barely got away by the skin of their asses last night…..labeling a stomach ache Covid symptoms…people have been complaining for this for a WHILE…..goddamn clowns in the Covid clown show..
John 2
No, I would not have not have been calling Mariposa a liar or WURA a liar for such a minor slip.
Neither would I have described that slip as a lie.
You should check back and see under what conditions I have actually used that description.
P.S. Did David initially post the article that PROVED his correction?
The last person who over reached to try to get me to retract something that WAS TRUE and they KNEW IT WAS TRUE BUT LIED ANYWAY……..it did not end well….just saying…
It would be reasonable to expect that if Mia indicated that there would be an investigation that some sort of report would be made to the citizens.
To expect a reasonable response from some is to expect too much. Instead we get a vicious smear or a claim of National security.
Currently in the National Security dossier (File 13)
Maloney vaccine scam
EWBSB
Ram masks scam (was it masks?)
Are you illiterate? The blogmaster clearly stated there is a process that must be gone through before the PM is in a position to make a public statement.
Before I am accused of telling lies ..
I assumed that if someone would be held accountable there would be some kind of investigation and some kind of report generated… Is that a bridge too far.
“Ram masks scam (was it masks?)”= test kit scam
they ACCEPT LIES from the criminals elected to manage the country..and who get a monthly salary from THEM FOR IT..the only lies they accept and DO NOT COMPLAIN ABOUT..
@Wura
Thanks.
These stories that should have a life and then death, but they seem to come here only to die. I guess the surprising thing is that we hear of them in the first place.
Without media in other countries some of these stories would only exist in a National Security folder.
Oh what desperate times we live in. I have just read that William Skinner is a liar. I know we are in the pantomime season but this is a new low even on the increasingly irrelevant BU.
Last week a commentator took offence on my regular posting of articles by Aljazeera.

When any Get caught i hope they feel the full weight of the law
Dont
Many of times artax produced ‘ evidence’ to show ww / Mari was incorrect/ lying and many of those times u were his chief cheer lead ?
Slip??????? I dont see throught those rose Colorado flasses that u r weareing.

You have a right to believe that BS about expecting a report for accountability
To me the to dont match
“I guess the surprising thing is that we hear of them in the first place.”
they get interested long enuff to comment and then everyone returns to their comfort zone of calling each other liars…lol
did you notice that they contribute VERY LITTLE ELSE and CANNOT see themselves…
hence they are never taken seriously by those of us who know much better..

Glad you (too) have noticed the disjunction!
How can there be an investigation into such a serious matter without an official report as the obvious output in order to rectify any deficiencies?
The question is whether the public (the target audience for lying politicians) has a right to review its contents.
Note that we were told that the country will get a full report on what transpired with the breakdown at the airport when a passenger went through with a loaded gun.
Today I read that a worker with 20 years experience with the security firm has been fired and Miami has dropped charges against the gentleman. However, the public has not been given any official report as promised.

I have no fears. But you keep on wishing and hoping..
we the evidence gone is of to concern to me.. if it leads to an arrest and conviction the so shall it be. U do the grine u do the time. None of my family involved In politics.
@John2, you have inituated and prolonged a rather innocuous matter…. as I was accused of being ‘pedantic’ (thus the moniker) I find your interrogation of @Skinner’s statement as quite unnecessary nitpicking !
The blogger said the PM promised a report when she said that an investigation was ‘promised’ or more accurately would be done!
You are arguing over a NONSENSE and YOU Sir are the one propagating a ‘lie’.
You cannot interrogate a person on semantics and create your own ‘alternative facts’ to claim that “WS statement that we were promised a report – and we didnt get it as promised is inaccurate/wrong/ a fabrication/ alternate fact/ BIG FAT LIE”
As @Theo and @Miller opine: how in YOUR practical world does one conduct an INVESTIGATION and NOT produce a REPORT!
That’s just plain nonsensical to suggest the two things are contradictory … so if we are going to debate (with decorum) ‘words’ and ‘motives’ you opened yourself to strong rebuttal.
Of course @Skinner’s intent was to lambaste the MAM administration for ‘misleading’ the public … which obviously they did in part…. and surely on the other part .. we can critique or disagree with @Skinner on the issue of whether any investigative reporting was ever going to be made public (as @David alluded to) but it makes absolutely no practical or rational sense to attack him on semantics of ‘report or investigation’.
We know well @Skinner’s perspectives that ‘all govts lie wantonly, and can’t be trusted’ but what pray tell is your motivation here bro !
“Are you illiterate? The blogmaster clearly stated there is a process that must be gone through before the PM is in a position to make a public statement.”
Rather be illiterate and not knowing than be literate and not knowing.
Forgive me if there is limited intersection between our worlds; that of illusion, fantasy and mumbo-jumbo holds no attraction for me. I ignore it.
David
I would expect a public statment if G4 Get ‘ fires’ And it may come from GAIA inc first
This is not saying the mai may not make a statenent. Its just IMO
The guy In fl already stated what happened and the immediate corrections taken all the finer details may be kept inhouse
Indeed the very video posted by J2 seems to contradict his prior statements.
Whilst WS felt it necessary to clear the air, some of us read J2 statement and classified it under NTSH in the National Security folder.
What finer details?
What National Security?
The silly charade of this being some sort of national threat must stop. There is not a single element of terrorism in the whole exercise.
Here is the report..
Two aholes met at the airport.
One ahole f_d up.
The other was caught in Miami.
Stupse, meanwhile vaccination and/or regular testing becoming standard bout Amurka, UK and Canada for healthcare workers and others. Businesses introducing mandatory vaccination for emoyyes and winning the right to do so in court. But folks who vaxxed and cosy in these same countries (can’t/don’t say a thing wey dem living bout de same measures) supporting Icarus in nonsense. The man boldly stated swabbing is dangerous. Ain’t drinking rum dangerous? This is why I stay away from commenting on BU…too many egofowls.

enuff of dat
Dpd.
And Are you not now doing the sameting that u accused me of – prolonging?
See me response to donna / WS as to where it could have ended
Why expect a report that was not promised? And if u think one was was promised why would u expect that report to be made public In about Two week after it was request?
My motivation for what ? Prolonging ?

Like everyone Else. I call it as i see it until David decide otherwise
ya gained absolutely nothing from the exercise and STILL LOOK STUPID.
that’s like those coming out with an instagram video TELLING THEIR USUAL LIES to the people just like they did when they ran up to the ILO told nuff lies, came back and sold out the hotel workers to thieves and racists…yall have NO CREDIBILITY…especially the foul Enuff who i thought was in mourning because he lost his crutch who robbed the treasury and pension fund and whom he always wants to see his PEOPLE underneath the trash, being robbed and mistreated …..but he upped and CROAKED, one less parasite in Black lives…NEXT
….yall have NO CREDIBILITY…
As was said long ago, the Slaves who sell out their people, keep them in bondage and in generational poverty were bound to EXPOSE THEMSELVES and what they really do….these unions do not represent the people so they are easy to manipulate.

If Barbados was a business corporation it would, by now, be deemed insolvent and teetering on the verge of bankruptcy.
Now who will be prepared to bail out poor Barbados from the IMF loan-sharks? The Chinese?
Or through a divorce settlement styled as ‘Reparations’ due from its previous owner, the British?
In her second term MAM runs the significant risks of becoming a most unpopular PM given the challenges she faces in downsizing the public sector to at least 2/3rd of it current manpower carrying capacity.
Carrying such a large debt servicing burden, in a contracting economy with a declining transactional tax base, can have serious implications for the country’s ability to pay such a large number of public sector workers and pensioners.
Read twice…2034 is a target date. Since the population did not TIEF sll that money…they need to remove themselves from the system AND THAT DEBT…that is NOT THEIRS…OR THEY WILL BE TRAPPED for a hell of a lot longer than 13 YEARS.
“Barbados’ debt currently hovers around 144 per cent of GDP and studies showing debt levels around 60 per cent of GDP will facilitate long-term growth. Despite not paying anything on its debt last year and paying significantly less than planned this year, the IMF said the country can still achieve the target of reducing its debt to being equivalent to 60 per cent of its GDP by 2034, if it gets back on track quickly by raising the sums it pays out each year. It did not say if debt payments should exceed the 6 per cent of GDP it was before the onset of the pandemic”
“Now who will be prepared to bail out poor Barbados from the IMF loan-sharks? The Chinese?
Or through a divorce settlement styled as ‘Reparations’ due from its previous owner, the British?
we kept warning the people didn’t we…now they are using the old scam of patriotism and a half a republic to reel the people in to BEING SLAVES to repay a debt that all of them and their minority friends TIEF THE BILLIONS that is now a deficit…” they are well armed with bullshit, but not telling the people that they should not be claiming to have any island….as i was telling the hard heads on BU recently…..because they are INSOLVENT…and whoever pays the debt OWNS IT….if the people want to be owned, they are already seen as Slaves …that’s on them…but they will be doing a GREAT DISSERVICE to their current and future generations if they don’t remove themselves and LET EVERYTHING CRASH…around these LIARS…
Miller..we can only tell them…the rest is up to them..
those who believe that politician’s lies are sacred and should be ACCEPTED even though it’s KILLING a whole generation of young Black people should also be made to PAY THAT DEBT…
Haven’t been fully able to digest this..

Was this power always there (BR and AR).
We are now in year 1 AR.
@TheOGazerts,
who is “The Supreme Leader” ?
Some of you make debating issues very boring.
To reiterate the PM REQUESTED a report on the matter, time will tell how it shakes out. To say the PM lied because she has not spoken to it yet is nonsense.
THE WORK OF A DESPOT.
https://barbadostoday.bb/2021/12/18/nurses-barred-access-to-personal-funds-franklyn-says/
Theo…it looks like the banks are colluding AGAINST THEIR CLIENTS….bad business…governments should not be meddling in people’s BANK ACCOUNTS unless a crime has been committed and then it should be the police doing that……..and banks should not be freezing accounts just on government say so or because employees won’t comply….so…as people have been complaining for YEARS that their BANK ACCOUNTS valued in the millions HAVE BEEN DISAPPEARING…….this shows that that there is some truth to that…
this is getting messier and messier…
Caswell might have to bring in human rights bodies to oversee this..are they planning to starve these people for standing up for their rights..
I know Mia thinks am her enemy, but i assure her, she DON’T WANT TO GO DOWN THIS ROAD…don’t get caught up in a pissing contest when it comes to human rights, YOU WILL LOSE..
Are any of the banks Canadian ?
@Hants
You must forgive me. Tron has given her so many titles that I lost track of the latest.
Each week he finds a next level to promote her to. I suspect that if she was a man we would already be in ‘Godfather territory, but ‘Godmother’ is not as commanding, and mother of the nation is on the wimpy side.
This is a highly unusual tactic to adopt. The international media will probably highlight this story and Mia should be advised to tread with caution. A disenfranchised people have nothing to lose.
These nurses are qualified professionals and can easily be poached by international health bodies.
Caswell, contact the international trade union movement and highlight this travesty of justice.
I would not accuse the PM of lying
Time delayed truths
Future truths
probable truth is possibly the best
100% probable – a fact
75%-Highly probable
50% probable – uncertainty
0% probable – National security folder

Enjoy the evening.
I think what it means Theo is you Know when you send a picture of your dick to a girl and realize you have sent it to the whole office by mistake and you recall the emails, well this kinda sounds like the same thing, govt recalling last checks and leaving you dick.
Buzy working everyone wants to be in their house by christmas so havent had time to see what has been going on, but I did read s about nurses striking, bad timing optics arent good ,but the govt should pay all emergency services well above scale., Its just like when you prayed to god that the rabbit doesnt die when your girlfriend is late, but did you go to church when you found out she wasnt knocked up ….of course not well its the same with emergency services not a thought about them until you are in need.
“Stand up Nurses
Calling all nurses to stand up!
What are we standing for?
-Resources so we can give Optimum nursing care to our patients- Working equipment ( ECG machines, Suctions, BP machines) , Gloves, PPE, Wound dressing materials, Hygeine products for patients, Disinfectant agents,…
– Hazard Pay for ALL Nurses
– Stipend for Nursing students
– Better working environments (insanitary conditions)
– Health Insurance and Direct Access to Health Care, investigations & treatment Free & at affordable prices where applicable.
– Better Security and protection from abusive patients.
– Training
– Payment of Travelling Nurses and reimbursement for wear and tear on personal vehicles
– Outstanding payment of wages
– Receiving Appointment letters
– Increase starting Pay for Degree nurses
– Increase Salary for Nurses
– No implementation of safe zones without thorough consultation with nurses
These are only some of the long standing grievances that most if not ALL nurses can identify with, we all may not be experiencing all of them, but some of our colleagues are and we should Stand Together.
Some nurses may say I agree but why in a Pandemic? My colleagues we have been Resilient from the beginning of this Pandemic, we have neglected our families, we have placed ourselves in the frontline and mantained our Oath to our patients, our other Health Professional colleagues and the Nation of Barbados, We did not Retreat we did not Surrender! It have been almost 2 years in the Pandemic with no ending in the near future with emerging new variants, it may go on for months, maybe years no one knows, so when then would be the appropriate time to speak up?
We must Stand!
Madame PM we Care! We Care for our patients, we care for our families, we care for our communities, we care for our country! But we must also Care for Ourselves!
Stands for Solidarity for standing up for all the outstanding Nursing Issues, Standing up against Safe zones without consultation and for giving Unity Workers Union members whose wages have been DOCKED as they are off the job fighting for Nursing Grievances the forum so their grievances which Most of us can Identify with can be addressed.”

has been ongoing for far too long…
some director of fine ants (Piece abandoned us) came out saying that Caswell is lying but no one would believe a talking head from a bank when SO MANY PEOPLE have had nothing but grief from these institutions…money does not disappear into thin air as those same banks will have us believe especially multi million dollar bank accounts…
…they need to release the nurse’s money…
all of this keeps happening bcause slave minded fools are too easily impressed by politicians and their containers FILLED WITH LIES…stop enabling them and ya will see they will become too afraid of the people to continue selling you out to the highest bidder..
This is the difference between an advanced society that recognizes worker’s rights DESPITE all its other problems and a little backwater with halfassed leaders and THEIR SWOLLEN HEADS.. speeding up and down the world stage apparently turned them stupid…
“Coal miners from Alabama go ON STRIKE, protest outside BlackRock HQ in NYC demanding better pay.
The demonstration organized by the United Mine Workers of America (UMWA) reportedly drew over 1,000 people from multiple states demanding better pay and work conditions from the world’s largest asset manager, BlackRock.
BlackRock is the major shareholder in Warrior Met Coal, where the protesters are employed.
Union members say they made concessions in pay, benefits, holidays and overtime equaling over $1 billion in savings for BlackRock after their previous employer filed for bankruptcy in 2016.
US officials have also reportedly discussed economic recovery plans with BlackRock to offset the company’s losses during the Covid-19 pandemic.”
In an effort to jump start the economy, increase spending and get businesses boosted, Government will allow VAT-free shopping in Barbados on Monday.

The unlawful strike initiated by the outspoken senator reminds me of the British “winter of discontent”. Fortunately, we have our own Caribbean version of Margaret Thatcher, who I hope will soon break the back of the labour movement.

You know that the director of finance does not work for a bank don’t you?
AMERICA is an advanced society that recognises worker’s rights??????
People in America can be fired for any reason or no reason at all besides discrimination!
IS NOT BIDEN CURRENTLY FIGHTING FOR PAID LEAVE IN CIRCUMSTANCES THAT WE IN BARBADOS ALREADY HAVE????
WEREN’T FOOD PROCESSING FACTORY WORKERS FORCED BACK TO WORK IN CLOSE QUARTERS DURING THE PANDEMIC WHERE THEY PROCEEDED TO DROP LIKE FLIES????
Look how hard they have to fight to get unionised! And union membership has been gutted since Ronald Reagan!
I could go on and on about how Barbadian labour laws and practices are more worker friendly than in the US!
Now, see why I have to keep putting things into perspective!
You are comparing Barbados unfavourably with countries that are known hellholes for ordinary workers.
When ordinary Bajans leave here and go to America they come back and tell us that we don’t know what work is!
Man, let us stick to what we want to fix in Barbados without the distortions nuh!
John 2,
There is a difference between repetitive behaviour and an occasional lapse.
One should be assumed to be deliberate. The other should be assumed to be a misstatement.
Common sense!

Cuddear…no one cares who the asshole is or who he works for keep telling yall none of these things interest me….so since he is not affiliated with any bank how does he know it didnt happen and Caswell is lying, means he is just another well placed taxpayer paid government pimp…so what’s the difference.
Since i have worked in the US and the irrelevant hasnt i can say without fear that THERE is recourse for any perceived worker’s RIGHTS VIOLATIONS….there is RECOURSE FOR MOST THINGS. 5-6 billion dollars missing from the treasury and pension fund….pensioners cant even get their money to food shop another story about it being late. Minority criminals are still accessing the people’s money Like if it’s theirs by the hundreds of millions of dollars =IMF LOANS. due to ya sellouts and you can’t say or do anything about it cause ya all talk and only have big mouth for silly petty things…..and the population to whom the money belongs cant get a dime are suffering and
killing each other ..TALK ABOUT THAT….or keep comparing a deliberately kept backwater to the US…WHERE THERE IS RECOURSE for thefts of bank accounts and violations of worker’s rights and politicians WHO TIEF from the public purse go to prison…where is your recourse. I know the simple things escape you but try harder. Americans know what to do about any crimes committed against themselves…YOU DON’T or you would be an activist that everyone knows is fighting against government criminality..

just the same old same thing,
come on and sign up to Outer Spaceways Incorporated
We’re opening up the doors to the Outer Space Employment Agency

AND this bullshit about patriotism that the copycats are now using to attempt to keep the majority population IN BONDAGE has ALWAYS BEEN A SCAM….because the TIEFING WILL NEVER STOP…..the SELLING OUT will NEVER END…
“Fighting back tears, Holder described a scenario where at times nurses would pull from their “meagre” salaries to purchase items to assist in the care of their patients, and therefore to be accused of abandoning the patients was a bitter pill to swallow.”
some of you nigas have no shame…THIS IS PUBLIC KNOWLEDGE….things like toilet paper the government REFUSE TO BUY because those working at the hospital…TIEF BIG…especially in the accounts section where their friends, political pimps and family work……..the nurses have to pool their meagre resourses ALTHOUGH NOT BEING PAID and purchase basic items so patients can have some dignity……..TALK ABOUT THAT..
Kind of amusing how the great ship Barbados can turn on a dime and dock pay in an instant, but flounders and wallows when it comes to paying some employees

Cuddear…no one cares who the asshole is or who he works for keep telling yall none of these things interest me….so since he is not affiliated with any bank how does he know it didnt happen and Caswell is lying, means he is just another well placed taxpayer paid government pimp…so what’s the difference.

Good riposte!
He is effectively calling the ‘affected’ nurses liars.
Isn’t the infection called dishonesty deserving of dismissal?
Why doesn’t he clear the air and say exactly what happened?
But, then again, isn’t he the same top public sector manager who was in charge at the NIS when the last inept administration treated it as the Stinkliar-owned piggybank?
I so love when yall showcase ya ignorance, it allows THE WORLD to see the social problems that’s causing the regression…and why the island is STUCK IN THIS QUAGMIRE…
don’t know if some of you noticed but people from the island who live in the diaspora are not EXACTLY RUSHING to return to the island, despite the “come back home” COPYCAT CALLING……..no matter what they are encountering in US and other jurisdictions and that also holds true for the juvenile John2….so i guess the US can’t be that bad, despite it’s race and other social issues…don’t see them flying in droves to return to a slave island with race, apartheid, oppression, TIEFING and disenfranchisment problems where there is NO RECOURSE to battle these crimes against humanity…

Sometimes, I wonder if I am being negative or just throwing a spotlight on the flaws in the system.
But it would be difficult to be any other way than I am. To see good stories appear and then disappear as if they never happened; to see National security for ‘two countries’ mentioned for a guy with just five bullets; fake outrage or applause for the same act; a justice system that coddles some and crushes others; a government that can strip assets in a second, but is slow to pay; public business conducted in a shroud of secrecy …. The list is endless
Unable to just come and sing ‘Cumbayah’
yeah Miller…the LIAR acted like the nurses won’t know what’s in their bank accounts and what they CAN’T ACCESS….suppose the lady had a 6 or 7 thousand dollar loan to repay, and COULD NOT BECAUSE a part of her PERSONAL FUNDS WERE FROZEN….these criminals and their pimps act like every Black person has childlike minds like those found on BU>
“But, then again, isn’t he the same top public sector manager who was in charge at the NIS when the last inept administration treated it as the Stinkliar-owned piggybank?”..
you could see in his face he is a LIAR who believes because of his pimp designation that he is smarter than everyone else…
Going to sign out here and wish all of you a great day.
Fighting hard to get myself down to one or two contributions per day.
Have a great day Barbados.

Killing two birds with one stone?
He may be rubbishing the claim of CF and at the same time telling bankers to stop (if they are blocking access).
Correcting without admitting.
Theo…the police too, they are EXPECTED TO GO WITHOUT PAY but still protect the tiefing governments and CRIMINAL MINORITIES…..these are long standing DECADES OLD ISSUES….but each fraud government can ALWAYS find HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS OF DOLLARS belonging to the majority population to fund minorities…even during this crisis where the treasury is FILLED WITH IMF LOANS borrowed in the majority’s name and which they are expected to work and fill up the treasury again so they all CAN CONTINUE TIEFING….a very ugly human rights violating CYCLE…….but can’t pay those who keep the island and people safe…that’s the reason BILLIONS OF DOLLARS ARE MISSING from the economy…and the NEGLECTED depressed areas have devolved into TOTAL CHAOS with daily stabbings, shootings and DEATHS…they can see NO WAY OUT…..
and the more we warned the governments about this is the more they DOUBLED DOWN….that’s why the whole sordid corrupt show had to be taken to the international arena…corupt negros only want to be seen as uplifing, ENRICHING minorities AND THEMSELVES..
it was NEVER MORE EVIDENT than with the vaccine scam that went SIDEWAYS …..it was TOTALLY UNNECESSARY…but would have allowed them to RIP OFF THE TREASURY to the tune tens of millions of dollars for THEIR BANK ACCOUNTS while leaving the people in abject poverty……poor St. Lucia got robbed in that bargain….hope they got back their 7 million dollars by now…
they believe that they are elected by the majority to create scams to enrich minorities and themselves ONLY…
btw…i notice they are running around like a whirlwind believing somebody is STUPID Enuff to make them head of the Caribbean so the SCAMS can get BIGGER….the TIEFING can get even BIGGER and elaborate……..and the regions people LEFT IN DIRE POVERTY….
.ah wonder who is prompting Mrs. Maloney to get herself killed when the other Caribbean islands ARE RIPPED OFF by BILLIONS OF DOLLARS…..Dominica is still reeling from the $2 billion dollars that allegedly disappeared and is disenfranchising the population..
and in some islands the people DO NOT HAVE THE DOCILE MENTALITIES of most people in Barbados….they will KILL YOU…so continue playing SLICK with ya empty fast talking…
I don’t have to work in the US to know what the bloody laws are, you fool!
You can seek redress ONLY UNDER THE LAWS!
US labour law stinks!
It is entirely possible that some sycophant or lackey working at the bank has access to the nurses’ accounts. It is even likely that no one gave them instructions but in their exuberance to please, took it upon themselves to ef with the nurses money.
“Many hands make light work” doesn’t only apply to the cabal.
I meant cabinet not cabal.
Don’t know what I was thinking.
Seriously.
@Rawbake
This theory is not plausible. It would mean all banks and credit unions are complicit in the act. The Senator need to give more details to thr authorities to support the charge. Fair is fair.
and you HAVE NONE…that are not manipulated to disenfranchise and BULLY workers…..so who is in a better position….don’t see the family ya boast ya have in the US leaving…..that SAYS EVERYTHING…
David, I gine back and read again, but I think de paper seh some. I think dat mean not all but I ain’t sure.
Agree that Caswell cud as well gih we all de details.
@Raw Bake
Correct, some products are exempt.
“The Senator need to give more details to thr authorities to support the charge”
the senator need to contact international labor and human rights organizations….
ILO already know they were LIED TO in Switzerland….can’t undo those lies now or run to them with more lies to cut off any current or future complaints……this need to be taken to international forums.
the so called authorities in Barbados are political pimps who are easily bullied…..just look at the jokers for trade unions a shame and disgrace to trade unions EVERYWHERE…bunch of frauds living off worker’s contributions and for DECADES doing absolutely nothing to make their situation better but can find the time and energy to pimp for corrupt governments…who are hellbent on enslaving workers….wicked.
Interesting days: Rihanna’s elevation a surprise( Ralph Jemmott); now BCCI saying removal of VAT for one day a total surprise. Are we heading into a lucky dip scenario??? Push in yuh hand , tek out something ….,,,………,,,,

Hmmmmmmn 🤔
Don’t know if the government realizes yet but these nurses do not need them…they can be hired ANYWHERE in the world and tell the deceitful government to go to HELL..
https://www.nationnews.com/2021/12/18/striking-nurses-not-backing/
on a lighter note…is the police force for real….many people watched the video….saw that the dude with the gun was searching high and low for something he dropped, even undera car, don’t know if he stole it but the white dude whom he was fighting with, found it and picked up and put it in his pocket…apparently the fool confronted the dude with the gun because he had the gun….and ended up tiefing what he may have stolen…now the police expect them to turn up at the police station,,,,,🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
all of this was captured on video..
https://www.nationnews.com/2021/12/18/police-investigating-carpark-incident/
Is this old or new?
Why the secrecy on the amount paid?
Bonds or cash???
Should they get in line or do they get paid immediately?
“Several senior lawmen, including the new Commissioner of Police, who had been locked in an almost decade-long battle with their superiors over promotions, could soon get damages and costs after the Attorney General decided to settle the matter out of court.
The exact dollar figure will be kept secret, however, as the memorandum with such information will be kept under confidential cover in the Caribbean Court of Justice’s (CCJ) records.”

The US labour law(s) might stink alright.
But when applied they are far more effective than those in the more IR advanced Barbadoes.
Why should a Bajan person have to wait years and years to hear his or her case (and outcome) for wrongful dismissal (or any compensation due) timely placed before a very enlightened and socially advanced ERT in Bimshire?
Isn’t 6 half of a dozen anymore?
There is an ole Bajan saying- copied quite effectively from the ‘English’ Shakespeare Hamlet- that goes like this:
While the grass (is) growing the horse (is) starving with the black belly sheep and donkey bleating and braying for fodder and water just as the temporary workers, like teachers and nurses in the public sector, who have to suck salt like slaves for months before seeing a pay ‘check’.
You are “misrepresenting” as usual. There are various reasons why people stay in the USA.
There are, of course, more jobs and of a more varied kind. Often the pay is higher depending on the location.
Mostly, it has nothing to do with US labour laws.
And you will find that our labour laws are not the real problem.
not fully sure what their problem is outside of the corruption and selloutism, but they are showing signs that the half a republic shit has clearly gone to all their EMPTY HEADS…and STILL nothing will change positively for the majority population who elected them.
and no one wants any of you with ya track records of THEFT, treachery and judasism heading anything in any of the other Caribbean islands or HEADING ANYTHING AT ALL as it relates to Afrikan descendants….go head things in larger white, indian and syrian dominated countries and see if ya can pull any of that corrupt shit there and get away with it….ya can’t even get to first base at being elected to anything public…they would never want you, you can only take advantage of Afrikan descended people.
Now enough of your nonsense for the day!
I grow tired of the daily vitriol. There is life to be enjoyed.
“But when applied they are far more effective than those in the more IR advanced Barbadoes”.
don’t mind these child like minds…none of their families are leaving US or anywhere else to get bogged down in Slave society Barbados to be robbed, bullied and disenfranchised by corrupt governments…they always say themselves that nowhere is ideal but expect US to be perfect….but their families are STILL NOT LEAVING…and am sure they are always the first to want them to send barrels…..bunch of frauds…
child like minds incapable of critical or analytical thinking is ALWAYS REACHING….epic fail.
some Barbadians have received $47 million in income tax refunds and reverse tax credits.

The challenge facing Barbados is not one of the lack of proper labour legislation but one of enforcement because of political partisan cronyism and the ‘direct’ control exercised over politicians and their sidekicks in the bureaucracy by the non-black business people like the same ‘Ma(l)-money’ carpetbagger.
The write-off of hundreds of millions in VAT owed to the Treasury is the classic case in point.
How can a so-called Labour government, teetering on the brink of debt default and insolvency, find the opportunity to forgive debts representing money already collected from ordinary consumers but used by business people for non-business purposes?
@Miller
Was the public given a proper explanation about why that VAT money was foregone?
Are these companies/individuals still in business for example? Was there an error in reporting or calculations? The challenge we have how some of these decisions are made is the lack of the considerations used to determine the decision. The result is huge speculation by the public.
