The countdown to January 19, 2021 and so far Barbadians have been treated to a lackluster campaign. The biggest issue so far has been the lack of opportunity for Covid 19 infected patients to vote, that is until the strategic revelations from former Senator Lucille Moe last weekend.
For those who didn’t understand Moe’s prolong absences from the Senate, now we know. There was a plot to be hatched. The blogmaster deems her behaviour to be dishonest and unethical. She had a difference of opinion with the prime minister- or so it seems- and refused to take the honourable decision to resign. Mia Mottley is not blameless, ministers and senators serve at the pleasure of the prime minister, Moe should have been fired. The blogmaster gives no credence to feeble rebuttals that she submitted excuses to the President to the Senate. Citizens must continue to find ways to hold elected officials accountable. The struggle is real.
While the Moe plot appears to have fully delivered 2 days before the general elections, former minister of finance Chris Sinckler decided to enter the political space for the first time since the last general election in May, 2018. The stars have aligned and the winner is…?
At a time educated and sensible Barbadians should be consumed with exacting intelligible utterances from prospective representatives in parliament, instead we have been treated to the same old dog and pony show.
- Have we has good explanations why six decades after independence we have been unable to enact and operationalize transparency and integrity legislation in Barbados?
- Have we had good explanation why the NIS Scheme has been mismanaged by successive governments to the point where taxpayers will be asked to suffer more sacrifice to ensure its viability?
- Have we had a good explanation why after the long talk about establishing a Creative Cultural Industries framework this sector remains uninspired and rudderless?
- Have we had a good explanation why decades of Auditor General reports have been ignored by successive governments?
- Have we had a good explanation why a small island developing state located in the idyllic tropical Caribbean has been unable to aggressively retrofit and integrate renewable energy by utilizing the natural resources of sun and wind?
- Have we had an intelligent national debate about pensions for members of parliament and in particular the public service which is unfunded?
- What about the urgent need for a comprehensive waste management strategy to align with the utterances about a commitment to the environment?
The point of this submission is to remind fellow Barbadians that we benefit from making smart decisions. If we continue to be mesmerized and entertained by the dog and pony shows performing to the same scripts, there will be no apotheoses.

Two women, aged 59 and 97, are the most recent people to succumb to coronavirus (COVID-19).
Both women died on Monday, January 17, at the Harrison’s Point Isolation Facility in St Lucy. The 59-year-old was unvaccinated, while the 97-year-old was fully vaccinated.
Their deaths bring the toll from the virus to 271.
Decision today on challenge to General Elections

Yeap u cannot even direct Bu
So why should I take directions from u
Yet you and the other detractors are logged on 24/7.
Rub a dub 555street
but are an online troll

And so are u
Has it been decided who the 271 are voting for yet.
@ Lawson,
Is that you blowing snow ?
@David, what’s your view on the success of this challenge!!! …. Despite its obvious merit it seems unlikely to succeed likely. I don’t know how accurate the details shown in the Nation are but some words jumped out at me as legally a loser.. but the overall pleading is relevant and not a few words, surely.
But anyhow I found it strange that the plaintiff would call the President’s dissolution of Parliament “unauthorised, contrary to law and illegal; arbitrary, unreasonable, irrational, irregular and an improper exercise of discretion; that it was capricious, erroneous, an excess of jurisdiction, ultra vires and an abuse of power […]”
How is ANY of that possible if Ms. Mason, the honourable President, has been INSTRUCTED or ADVISED by the PM that for whatever reason a new election must be called and that is done within all the proper legal parameters! … I am not aware that the President has any legal authority to question such decisions by a PM.
Is it the election that should be challenged or the ‘draconian’ emergency measures – which could have been amended – that prevented those in isolation from voting ??? ….. This legal thing does give yah real headaches, in trute!
@Dee Word
The President approved the writ using her wide discretion under the law. It is difficult to imagine how a judge may intervene by reversing her decision. We will know soon.
LOL….re: “Despite its obvious merit it seems unlikely to succeed likely.”
Correction– “Despite its obvious merit it seems unlikely to succeed.”

there are varying degrees of twisting talking shit and lying like a motherfucker

Blogmaster you do mean to say that “Moe should have been fired” like how Boris Johnson, the Covid partying animal, fired his ‘former’ very close mate Dominic Cummin(g)s?
Now who is telling the ‘truth’?
Is it MAM the big-bag lady with her big red sack of lies which has been recently sent back to the designer shop for a spring cleaning and refilling?
How can you bring charges against policymaking ministers when the Laws governing the management of public finances specifically exempt and insulate them, the politicians, from the distribution of the taxpayers’ funds?
How can you bring charges against your ‘fellow’ political class members without doing the same to the ‘colluding’ chief accounting officers of each SOE which has been the ‘victim’ of financial squandermania?
Or is it the diminutive Moe the disgruntled lieutenant smarting over a long bout of ‘non-political’ unrequited love?
Don’t you see some kind of trend emerging going back to the days of OSA and his female sidekick Maria?
Even our sorely-missed Piece de Prophet along with the vision of the Bush Tea sage saw on the horizon what is now appearing before our very eyes.
It’s really amazing how fast we are able to ‘fall for’ the decades-old outbursts from women claiming sexual abuse against celebrity men like poor Harvey Weinstein, Bill Cosby and, of more recent vintage, the randy prince Andrew but when it comes to ‘listening’ to cries of old abuses, in whichever form, from a Bajan woman against another Bajan wo(e)man we are overly quick to cry: ‘Wolf, wolf’!
This election campaign comes missing the usual‘bombshells’. Whatup?

Master “NO”, now you have outdone yourself in presenting this menu of pure politically supreme satire.
Even the great chefs of word smithery, ‘De pedantic Dribbler and ‘The OGazerts’ would not be reluctant to grade you above a 5-star Michelin rating.
In the grand scheme of political satirical things, just simply superbly ‘A’ class!
But there is one minor omission from the tabula rasa of culinary finesse.
You forgot to invite the royal bling-wearing Lady Dame president from the republic of the Bajan Monarchy to say grace.
Miller,
I am inclined to believe because of my own experiences. Man, my son was even dropped from a primary school cricket team because I shot down his married coach’s advances. I was not even young at the time.
And just when I thought I was finally old enough to be safe, some old fart that used to live up your side ran his hand up my leg and thought my riding on a bus meant that I could be bought by some of his “English pension”.
I have been jumped by a married church member in his work office, nearly pulled my shirt off. I have kissed without warning by an old married fart in the church office, had my leg stroked by the priest in the church office and I could go on and on.
None of these advances were welcome. Caught me totally by surprise.
Really sickening!
So….I tend to give the woman the benefit of the doubt.

That’s as common as muck, mi lass! What else do you expect from an old pervert with his middle foot in the grave?
At least you were not an innocent lad attending lessons in (im)morality in a Catholic confession box.
Maybe the old geezer was under the ‘mistaken’ impression that what you had hiding up your leg was nothing more than a young purring pussycat ready for play on the bus ride; the type of which Mrs Slocombe, the character from the TV comedy “Are You Being Served” had as her ‘intimate’ roommate.
“Well if I’m to spend an evening in this club, there’ll have to be accommodation for my pussy.”
@Donna
I suspect Lawson is familiar with the Canadian experience.
Years back, since Canada is country of huge immigration from all over, it was fairly common, for a deceased person’s ID to be transferred to a living, but “illegal” community member.
A friend, a nurse, would often recall the 7? year old first time mothers!!!! The result of such a transfer.
With the Caricom ‘thingie’ available, anything is possible.
@TheO
I blame it on the rain (snow??)
Maybe a libation…later.
Your friend angela was unmoved…or I am unanimous in that….since the Miller raised Mrs Slocombe
@NO
You are sticking to your 23-7?
Seems as though the High Court ruled that elections will proceed tomorrow as scheduled.
@ NO
It is delightful to know that we still have citizens, who can share superb humor with their his brothers and sisters.
I was asking myself what to do after the pantomime. Cheers !! 👍🏿👍🏿
Miller,
Just as common is the powerful person using his power against the #metoo women.
As the old people say, “We know what men gives.”
Thankfully, not all men but way too many.
” This is the first time in the history of Barbados that the two major political parties contesting the General Elections will be headed by women. “
The judge says she had no jurisdiction in overturning the election
Exactly, the discretion is with the president.
Justice Cicely Chase has thrown out the challenge to the suit brought to halt the General Elections, saying she did not have jurisdiction to hear the matter and that it ought to have been brought before an election court.
She said the action was incorrectly filed.
Arguments were heard from attorney Lalu Hanuman, who brought the challenge on behalf of St Thomas constituency hopeful, Philip Nathanial Catlyn, of the Barbados Sovereignty Party (BSP), as well as Queen’s Counsel Alrick Scott who represents President The Most Honourable Dame Sandra Mason and Queen’s Counsel Roger Forde who appears for the Attorney General.
Catlyn was seeking a restraining order against the holding of Wednesday’s General Elections until “the disenfranchisement of thousands of electors who are in quarantine due to the zoonotic COVID-19 viral pandemic is resolved beforehand”.

I was 23-7 since last September, cannot change.
A friend has a WhatsApp pool going, anywhere from 0-12 with 87 participants.
The political types in that group are going low. Don’t know if that’s bias or an informed number.
Seems the seats in highest chance of winning go StPN, st.John, St.J? Y’wood and from there it is scramble of opinion.
@Hants
With two females leaders how could we ban the erection? (That is for Donna )
This ruling should not have come as a surprise to anyone. I doubt that the lawyers were surprised. This is the classic six for a nine or the pee on your leg it is raining trick.
I am unimpressed by this last minute continuation of doing nothing by now doing something.
Anyone with a modicum of commonsense knew that when the ECB promised to study it and get back to you that nothing would change. And, now, lawyers waiting until the very last moment to go the courts is the same useless ploy.
Go wash your leg, that is not rain.

There were 652 new COVID-19 cases – 296 males and 356 females – recorded on Monday, January 17, from the 2 503 tests conducted by the Best-dos Santos Public Health Laboratory.

Potentially another 533 people can’t vote because they tested positive for Covid.
Nuh big ting. voting is not as serious as when I was a teenager and was lectured on ” right and responsibility to vote “

Don’t get me started on female orgasms again!

@Donna January 18, 2022 7:27 AM ” they noticed that many UWI students were lacking in the basics of expression…”
Syupssseee!!!
The WORSE piece of prose I’ve even read in my ENTIRE lifewas written by a DLP lawyer politician.
So DEM can’t talk about other people children “lacking the basics of expression.
Don’t get me started. DEM unfair the young people. Denied young people the “tax-funded”, NOT free education for which their parents had already paid through their taxes and labour.
I hate to see young people being unfaired.
@David, you say that discretion was with the President but I perceive u use that word quite broadly … what ‘indiscretion’ (if I may put it that way) did she legally have to do ANYTHING other than calling the election … now if we travel along that turgid path presented by @Northern one suspects that she surely then possessed many options to discharge the issue, no doubt!
And @Theo, I take a different spin on this to you. The attorney should be embarrassed … if u are going to court for a career defining last minute injunctive case …fah damn sure don’t get thrown out on grounds that “… the action was incorrectly filed.”
That’s professionally inexcusable …BUT, BUT I only cut him some slack because of the rushed time and he didn’t have a team of constitutional lawyers behind him.
The fact is that it surely appeared that he went down the wrong path, however!
You perceive it was all smoke and mirrors … well if it was then the entire legal corps on the DLP should be hanged in abject shame … that they did not mount a case re the ‘draconian’ emergency edicts that restricted the isolated Bajans from voting, boggles my thinking … you (a) can’t fight the constitutional legality of calling a snap election but surely you can (b) seriously question the govt doing that while emergency pandemic prohibitions were in place.. Thus you seek relief of B because of the constitutional rights enshrined for A…
And not a DLP fella fought that for the same Bajans they say they want to represent and neither a BLP fella either.
So alas we back to the same square still … all a-dem tekking freaking Self and Turf (well done) with a side of :Baked Barbados. A lead pipe crust, filled with a dense molasses based filling, with crusty sea salt top. A sweet-salt creation for the ages.” from @Northern’s menu.

That being said , I have once more enjoyed another pantomime, with some of the most hilarious comments, I have ever read anywhere.
Well, that’s it folks , unless somebody, or party springs up in the next , five years or maybe three , to inject some real change, in our beloved country, the next pantomime and extension/Crop Over would be just as entertaining.
But , as always, there are pantomimes everywhere and the whole world awaits progressive leadership and real change. So, why should we worry.
Peace.
Again, nobody said we should not worry. We said we must be realistic in our expectations as we strive and struggle to make it better.
The fact that this is a HUMAN problem rather than a BARBADIAN problem sheds some light on how we must proceed.
NOBODY said we should allow this surrender to this fate.
You continue to misrepresent our position for some reason that I cannot fathom.
“That being said , I have once more enjoyed another pantomime, ”
glad you enjoyed it, the pain will come for the most vulnerable after, unless they start paying attention..
William…in reality, everyone should be afraid of all of them….no matter how much DAMAGE CONTROL filled with LIES is being offered…only the koolaid drinkers will find that appetizing…..real thinkers would retch at the thought..
i see the Liat workers not getting their severance is being blamed on the Antigua government doing something illegal..
so is it the same for the hotel workers who did not get their benefits from tiefing hoteliers and the NIS contributors had to dish out 18 million dollars to cover that illegality/crime..
Some of you done know that one was NEVER going to get past me….🤣🤣🤣🤣
@ WURA
No need to worry. Nurses, hotel workers and others , throughout the world, often suffer such a fate. I assure you, we are working on all these problems and Rome was not built in a day.
And furthermore, it is a known fact, that the problem with the nurses is a long standing problem with those who work in the public service. There are many who have had to work without getting their Cheques on time.
The pain of the vulnerable and marginalized , is not peculiar to our country. We are trying our best to deal with these things but it’s a lot better now than back in 1733.
I think we complain too much. Here is a statistic that we ought to pay attention to:
Over 37 million older adults in the USA do not have enough money to makes ends meet. That’s 1 in 3 seniors who simply can’t afford to pay utilities , rent, medication, and food.
There is no utopia anywhere.
Peace.
“The pain of the vulnerable and marginalized , is not peculiar to our country. We are trying our best to deal with these things but it’s a lot better now than back in 1733.”
yep and the idiots keep trying to reel in those who know better…..let them keep looking and gazing at US and everyone else….who can GET ACCESS TO RESOURCES AT ANYTIME TO FIX THEIR PROBLEMS…..whenever they decide to…
clowns would like to pretend that people are not SUFFERING on the island…while PEOPLE SUFFER..

Glad to see certain people in media…not the 2 or 3 lone ones the island know……have gone after the government for “that superspreader event last night that broke directives” ..they said “we will not tolerate 2 Barbados”
Years of pushing and pushing has resulted in people STANDING UP and saying NO MORE…
@ Donna
Respectfully, , I have never believed in trying the same thing or doing the same thing and expecting different results.
If anybody had told me fifty years ago , that this is where we would be today, I would have said they were crazy.
We have been “ chipping away “ for the last sixty years and while anybody , with a penny of intellectual honesty, will agree that we have come some distance; I cannot say that we have travelled that far in real wealth or economic enfranchisement of the black majority population.
Finally, the rhetorical question I proffer is simply that. It is not condemnatory of anybody on this blog.
Quite frankly, you have never placed me in any box or “ throwashade” gang , so while , we may share different styles and methods, as you often say, we want progress. There is no one road to progress.
Peace.

I don’t challenge people whom i KNOW make sense, given all the EVIDENCE at hand….would rather discourse with them one on one on any platform …not on BU to jostle anyone for top position on an anonymous blog…achieved/accomplished what i set out to do….won both the battle and the war….YEARS AGO……who was not paying attention….TOO BAD…..only thing left to do is continue in the same trajectory….a win win….the IGNORE button is handy right about now…
William,
David is not as you see him. Neither are you as he sees (or saw) you.
I believe you are both on a quest for progress but with different methods, just as I am.
Skip over to my comments on the Candidates blog and tell me what you think I should do! See the conundrum.
Seriously, tell me if I should vote and for whom!
I too long to get off the merry-go-round but I do not think I would enjoy riding the Starship Enterprise without some sort of Captain Kirk or Picard, Spock, Data or at least a Scotty to beam me up or down.
I wait your response some time before 5:45 p.m.
Some times it is better to ignore. There is context that must be given.
For example,
Barbados is not a failed state.
Barbados is a small island developing state with challenges to manage like every other rh country in the world.
Vote for the person who did nothing as he/she could not have done anything wrong.
The lesser of the evils.
@Donna
How did @David get in this discourse?
. You addressed me and I respectfully addressed you.
Don’t be a hypocrite William, commenters are aware who you mean when you drop comments about those who are apologists; arch apologist. The blogmaster will comment as see fit on the blog IF you do not mind.
@David
Your buddy Pacha has been notably absent.
@NO
Pacha wears many large hats LOL.
since yesterday i was watching these videos, one peaked my interest, these two dudes from Barbados speaking in Chinese…..someone said they were wavering to vote and when they say that video it pushed them right out the door…..🤣🤣🤣 saw some really good ones yesterday sharing all across the world…
“Barbados is not a failed state.”
only Hal and a few others said that…the problems RUN MUCH DEEPER than financial failures….and that is what most keep missing..
“Reality Tunnels” is the descriptor I was looking for
you can look it up if you feel like some enlightenment from higher minds aka intellectuals who read books
as some Bu-ers are lazy bums with poor eyesight

Reality Tunnels – Robert Anton Wilson…..Imaginal Resonance.
“@Donna

There were three in the bed
and the little one said roll over
so they all rolled over
and one fell out
and there were two in the bed
and the little one said roll over..
Also attributed to Reality Tunnels……people really do need to read more and don’t just accept anything and everything presented to them from those with narrow agendas….i never buy into basic nonsense…always do my own research, there is any number of publications out there to raise red flags.
“Wilson and Leary co-wrote a chapter in Leary’s 1988 book Neuropolitique (a revised edition of the 1977 book Neuropolitics), in which they explained further:
The gene-pool politics which monitor power struggles among terrestrial humanity are transcended in this info-world, i.e. seen as static, artificial charades. One is neither coercively manipulated into another’s territorial reality nor forced to struggle against it with reciprocal game-playing (the usual soap opera dramatics). One simply elects, consciously, whether or not to share the other’s reality tunnel.[1]”

Two things.
You are wrong about the severance for hotel workers. Employers not employees, contribute to the severance fund. If employers are not able to pay former employees severance, the onus is on the NIS to them it and recover the money after. That is one of the reasons for the Tribunal.
You are wrong about flipping about people. Ronald Chapman has been the officer in charge of the Covid Monitoring Unit from its inception.
When yuh ain’t got the right information or yuh don’t know wuh talking bout, keep quiet.
555,
I read books but not as many as I used to. However I do watch videos of lectures.
David,
It is just so frustrating to know that we are on the same side and cannot see it. Hard to ignore when you attempt to offer both sides of an argument for consideration and you are berated for siding with the devil. You and I clash and disagree but I have come to understand that our differences do not originate in the battle of good vs evil.
I will try to ignore what is obviously not going to change.
Frank,
Wuh yuh gone an’ do?
Barbados is not a failed state but inching slower to becoming one
The foundations of the Constitution are being chip away
The rich keeps getting richer
The poor suffers in silence as is told to stay the course and hold strain
One day coming soon that failure would hit each and everyone right in the face
Like a slow dripping pipe out of control the sink would overflow
Not joking
@Donna
I can only say follow your conscience. I stated on BU at the start. My vote will be for the coalition or any candidate outside the Duopoly.
@ David
The question was directed to @Donna.
Peace
More the reason to NOT LET anyone anywhere REEL YOU INTO their fake world that’s devoid of reality, then ya get stuck inside there WITH THEM…..
I keep telling people am NOT INTERESTED IN WHO IS WHO……he could be you for all i care..
the NIS.= contributors HAD TO PAY 18 million dollars that the TIEFING hoteliers REFUSED TO PAY because of some sleight of hand in the cabinet that Caswell HAD TO EXPOSE……
not interested in who is wrong or isn’t… IT HAPPENED……only primary school minds live for that CRAP…
