It is 148 days since the last general election in Barbados. The result returned the Mia Mottley led Barbados Labour Party (BLP) the office in unprecedented manner and forced the DLP to jettison Verla De Peiza as President- replaced by Dr. Ronnie Yearwood who has been in seat for 49 days. Is it too soon some are asking for a coherent policy position to be emanating from George Street?
The saying goes that extraordinary times require extraordinary people, there is no denying we are living in extraordinary times. That said, it is a reasonable expectation by Barbadians to expect those presenting themselves for public office to hit the ground running. The system of democracy- even if a parody of the Westminster system practised by Barbados- requires a strident dissenting voice. In Yearwood’s defence he is president of a private entity and his first obligation is try to infuse a DLP suffering near political coma.
President Dr. Ronnie Yearwood recently made a statement challenging government’s ‘proposed plan’ to tackle cost of living. The blogmaster’s position has always been it is a difficult undertaking for a party in opposition without full grasp of the public purse to offer constructive alternatives. Yearwood is understandably trying to piggyback on issues resonating with the public. On the other side of the issue, Mottley has the task of managing an economy still spluttering from the shock of 2008 global meltdown and the so-called ‘lost decade’ which followed.
BU’s Artax analyzed Yearwood’s recent cost of living recommendations. It was not complimentary.
Yearwood isn’t proposing anything NEW.
From economists, political scientists, members of special interest groups, contributors to social media platforms, former DLP president DePeiza, Lynette Eastmond, Joseph Atherley, Grenville Phillips II, aspiring politicians…… to the ‘average man and woman on the streets,’ criticised the size of Mottley’s Cabinet and the number of consultants, almost immediately after she announced them, following the May 24, 2018 and January 19, 2022 general elections…….and have been calling on her to reduce the number since then.
The 1% levy on persons earning $6,250 per month was also heavily criticised. But, I can’t understand how its removal would help poor people.
Perhaps Yearwood could offer further explanations.From the inception of VAT in 1998, the DLP and BLP while in Opposition, have asked and promised to expand the ‘basket of goods,’ only to reneged on their promises after ‘taking up the reins of government.’
“Remove the excise tax on fuel by 40 cents per litre and to offer relief to pensioners,” has also been previously suggested.
“Calling on Government to bring forward the reverse tax credit of $1300 for people earning below $25,000 per annum,” also requires further explanation, especially when one takes into consideration that the DEMS reduced the reverse tax credit to $650 during the recession.
– Artax
How does he plan to finance $1,300 to be paid to an increase in the number of persons who would become eligible?
Who are the members of DLP’s economic team? Under former president De peiza it was not clear. In the current challenging economic times, compounded by the perilous state of the economy, quality people, quality decisions must form part of a DLP looking to be perceived as competent by an apathetic and cynical electorate, especially in the area of finance.

When you are not in power, you can make hypothetical suggestions which Government may choose to implement or not.
There is no ownership of ideas put on the table, which will need to be analysed with costs and benefits considerations.

An African link up school of thought is also promoted, but the same people are critical of Mia’s and Government’s statements and plans towards these ends.

President Dr. Ronnie Yearwood recently made a statement challenging government’s ‘proposed plan’ to tackle cost of living.
Xxxcc
Rightfully so in as much his challenge opened up a construct upon which govt started another round of dialogue within the public sphere
Whether Dr. Yearwood statement was said within economic circles is all but a mute point
The point of his statement was necessary at this time to infused more concern to the plight of suffering barbadians under the many burdensome policies of present govt
With govt need to cut spending what is the point of Mia always wanting to have a committee
All can see hear and know the realities of the hardships barbadians households are feeling
Then why is it necessary to have a committe on such a problem
How come when big business cry there is no committe to investigate or pry into their cause or concerns
Xxxc
On another point of concern what happened to my first comment posted here
Inquiring minds also asked of Mia Mottley
Why was the IMF chief debt collector entertained at tax payers expense
On what level and area of priority does it serve the public and country interest to have a lavish party for the IMF chief debt collector ?
If memory serves correct when arrangements were being made for the Barbados 50th year of independence Mia Mottley hollered and bellowed and scoff at the money being spent for the once in a lifetime celebration a celebration having interest to a historical event and patriotic interest set as a priority for celebration within the laws of goverance
Once again asking minds wants to know if the IMF chief has a patriotic or historical interest or attachment to Barbados i and deserving of any form of celebration when and where taxpayers monies are applied
Happy Father’s Day to all the fathers and father figures. Being a dad is one of the most important jobs I have taken on in my life. Every day is not a celebration and dads out there know this. You push through when you are ill, when you are down, when days are cloudy because it is not about you anymore the moment that baby is put in your arms. Your fights become their fights. The future you fight for is not something far off but the future of your son or daughter. The moment I held my son this was triggered in me. I am not always sure how to explain it but something in you changes.
I want to say to all those dads out there, I see you. The cooking, the laundry, the school drop offs, the birthday parties, the swimming classes, the bedtime stories, the hugs, and love. Keep at it. It is for the Future – Their future, your future, our future.
Blessings to you all and Happy Father’s Day.
For the argument to have ‘substance,’ one would have to know how much money was actually spent on what is being described as “a lavish party for the IMF chief debt collector.”
How does anyone who was not in attendance, determine the party was “lavished?”
Comparing the millions of dollars spent on Barbados’ 50th anniversary of independence with money spent on a party for IMF personnel is delving into the ‘realm of political absurdity.’
Successive BLP and DLP administrations have hosted parties at Illaro Court and elsewhere, for various reasons, many of which could be reasonably described as a waste of taxpayers’ money.
Taxpayers also have a right to ask “on what level and area of priority does it serve the public and country’s interest to have” BLP or DLP Prime Ministers travel to the UK to speak members of the BLP or DLP Barbados UK Branch?
Or, the DLP as a political organization, being ALLOWED to use the RESOURCES of CBC, which is a SOE funded by Barbadian taxpayers, to broadcast DLP hosted events, such as annual conferences and Friday lunchtime lectures?
@Artax
Do we know what was the objective of the MD of the IMF visit to Barbados?
AC
You can write tell yuh fingers drop off. This is another dead~ender.
There is no there there!
Trying to impose this empty suit on the country by stealth should be a crime punishable by death.
Even that would not stop you from being irrationally motivated because Yearwood purports to have a Dr.
The time has long past for such irrationalities.
Yearwood cannot and will never meet this historical moment. The man is fiberless. Mere froth, no beer!
Unfortunately the political landscape of Barbados is not generating exciting as in the halcyon days of Barrow, Adams for example. The difference is Mottley who who say what you will satisfies the definition that in the land of the blind, a one eye wo(man) is eye.

We are so far behind in the financial intelligence space that it is not funny. It will be refreshing when the traditional media catches up if they ever do. They are suppose to have resources, contacts to seek information in the interest of the public.

The Resilience and Sustainability Trust….this to aid in the costs inflicted ‘by the ravages of climate change’. MAM correctly saw this as a ‘soft spot’ in the financing underbelly and exploited it.
Don’t mind the ‘climate change’ gurus like to ignore the contribution of air travel to the equation. We even have a Formula 1 driver touting climate on his helmet, car decals et al. Between all the test car phases, practice rounds, and the travel of people and machinery weekly as they jet from racetrack to racetrack, any guess as to their emissions?
We can ‘green’, talk about non fossil fuels, recycle etc, and one 5hr plane ride negates all of that.

You got it wrong with you twisted mentality
The so-called intelligent have been given a right of passage by people of your ilk to govern
The link missing might not be that of not being book and scholarly learnt
But one of a moral persuasion
Hence there so called intelligence is limited to self interest and greed
Reason why the whole world is being split apart at the seams awaiting the final big bang
The meek and lowly of humility are not found or cast amongst the so-called intelligent but have and will be the ones given the task of creating an environment where morals take precedent and not learned and scholarly dances that not only suffice a few
The country is slipping into or has slipped into an economic morass. The cost of living is now among the highest in the world .
But, we are asking a man who does not have a seat in parliament; whose political party is on life support to come with a clear economic policy.
In the meantime, we have no clear economic policy from the Prime Minister and minister of finance, as to where the country is being taken.
What are we drinking here peoples?
@William
The man who does not have a seat in parliament won the leadership of a party that the only formal residual political dissent that is statistically significant whether we want to believe it or not.

@Lorenzo
If we study trends in Barbados Barbadians get tired of the incumbent after two terms and the window is open for the opposition to win by ‘default’. This is why we are where we are today. We need to break the cycle, unfortunately a vast number of citizens have disengaged from the democratic process.
NO
That is a whole different question. Undoubtably the Germans made concerted efforts preUkraine. The Chinese and the Russians too continue to open coal plants.
Countries elsewhere, in the global South particularly, which suffer the largest costs, seem serious in pockets. But time is nearly up before these affects can be reversed. Some scientists are saying we’re already past 3.5 parts per million. Or whatever.
There’ve been other global crises before and responses have been abysmal we suggest similar outcomes this time around.
But overall Pachamama is running out of time and She will eventually do what She has always done for five billions years – bring back right order of things.
We surmise that yuh would like to cuss us about China and Russia pollution of earth but they historically have not been the worse and this writer is also unconvinced that this issue in the first priority for them. Yuh got muh.
Northern Observer, unlike you, we give not a fuck about ideology above objective truth.
In any case, ( Madame )Mottley has announced that Barbados will be accessing its eligible share of about US$210 million (BDS$420 million) from the IMF’s Resilience and Sustainability Trust (RST), saying it was “the right instrument at the right time, for the people most in need

I suspect you are watching and reading the many negative narratives launched against your Supreme Leader
@ David
Hasn’t Yearwood attempted to contest a general election on a ‘BLP ticket?’
Didn’t he ‘ran’ in the January 19, 2022 general elections as the DLP’s candidate for St. James South?
Are we to believe Yearwood did not articulate any plans he had for that constituency during the election canvassing?
Are we also to believe had the DEMS won the general elections, they couldn’t have presented Barbadians “with a clear economic policy?”
So, Yearwood decided to ‘run’ for the DLP presidency, thinking if he won, then, ‘any number could play’ after?
Grenville Phillips II nor any other member of Solutions Barbados “do not have a seat in Parliament.”
And, after contesting two general elections, during which all the candidates lost their deposits….. that political party could also be reasonably deemed to “being on life support” as well.
Yet, Phillips II has continued to articulate several ‘clear policies’ from Solutions Barbados……, which, by the way, have been endorsed by critics of the ‘BDLP duopoly.’
I have mentioned on several occasions in this forum, that, as Minister of Finance, Mottley has so far, not present the island with any economic policies.
All the more reason why Yearwood or the president of any other political party in Barbados, should demonstrate a level of leadership that is both positive and inspiring.
In MY opinion, for someone to suggest that it would unreasonable for people to expect the president of the DLP to present the island with clear, innovative ALTERNATIVE socioeconomic policies, or, under the current economic circumstances, articulate ‘clear policies’ on the direction in which he intends to take Barbados, should the DLP win the next general election and he becomes Prime Minister…… simply because Mottley has not done so……
…… is either being facetious or perhaps drank too many ‘shots’ of ‘Rum and Coke.’
The question that no one is asking is will Ms Mottley run again in 4 years? Then if not her, who will lead that party?
@ David
“For the sake of clarity are you on Yearwood’s economic team? Walter wants to know.”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
You can tell Walter that Bushie is on the ‘economic team’ that will be cleaning up the lotta shiite shortly.
He could be on that team too… if he can come to grasp the futility of the brassbowlic economics that currently prevails and come over to REALITY.
LOL
…..for bare spite, Bushie will drop the BU 10-Point Plan in wunna bosom as soon as the ‘Bushmen Party’ is installed. 🙂
Wunna gwine see how to convert guns into plowshares….
BTW, Bushie predicts that…
If an election was held after yearend, the DLP would win an overwhelming victory – for the IDENTICAL reason that the BLP won theirs…..
…because the incumbents have NO IDEA what the hell they are doing, and the RESULTS will clearly demonstrate this.
By yearend, even if Dompey ran for the DLP as president, they would win….far less Yearwood.
Unfortunately however, things will be so bad by then, that NOBODY will want the job…. and the incumbents will be in hiding….
But not stinking Bushie….

IMF chief heaps praise on Barbados
” Barbados is being held aloft as proof that the International Monetary Fund (IMF) is no longer the institution that pushes countries into economic reforms at the expense of pain and social dislocation.
This was made clear by managing director of the IMF, Kristalina Georgieva, who noted that unlike the tough structural adjustments of years gone by that gave little consideration to the social cost, Barbados had emerged from its four-year programme a stronger economy without sacrificing the most vulnerable.
“The Barbados programme here is very successful, and it is an example of agility and adaptability because of changing conditions. We not only made sure that we protect the most vulnerable people in society but also key objectives of the Government to bring forward development in the country,” said Georgieva, who was speaking at a press conference at the Lloyd Erskine Sandiford Centre at the conclusion of her four-day visit to Barbados.”

Have you, yourself, “ever conceptualised and implemented one piece ah public policy”?
We all know you have an excellent track record of conceptualizing and implementing US$ billion multi-‘storey’ projects using your well-honed skills in town and country planning and design with distinction in the art of lying and falsehood fabrication.
You have even been the chief planning and design advisor to the Hyatt Hotel mirage rising to the skyline in the now ghost city called Bridgetown.
So why can’t you be patriotic ‘enuff’ to help your country of birth in its greatest hour of need by bringing into being that much publicized Bridgetown gentrification and Pierhead Redevelopment Project?
Or are you looking for your ‘cut’ from its third planning and re-design incarnation?
You can always do like Darcy or that Malmoney fella and set up a St. Lucia-based IBC aka money-laundering machine in order to channel your ‘well-earned consultancy’ fees.

The usual response–attack me and call me a liar. One week I am a lying marketer performing fellatio on white men in NYC, next week I am a lying project manager, another week a lying lawyer, now a lying town planner and advisor to Hyatt. There is something wrong with an individual who repeatedly says different things about another with not a single shred of evidence to support their accusations. Why don’t you just give up, can’t you see your attacks achieve nothing? More rent free status for me. My point stands tho–all RH talk.

If you can’t find a single good policy decision of the government given where we were in 2018 v now, I can’t help you.
I seldom mention the DLP or comment on AC’s ramblings. I mostly question the misinformed, emotive-based (often disingenuous) contributions of others. You should also realise that there are some anti-Enuff characters on BU and once I sneeze dem duz be ready. They call me a yardfowl and I call them egofowls. Mi nuh fraid dem weaklings.
Hi Enuff,
Do you mind providing a solid example or two to Bush Tea?
Thanks kindly.

Pearls before swines seems quite apt as a response.

Now you know how it feels to ingest some of your own nasty medicine.
Isn’t that the same thing you do incessantly to people like your Salemite?
Aren’t you the ‘know-it-all’ lawyer who argued that there was absolutely nothing illegal about having two DCoPs without an amendment to the then existing Police Act?
You really don’t anyone to ‘reference’ the town-planning expertise you demonstrated in your informative contributions regarding the Hyatt erection or even your ‘unique’ knowledge on the UNESCO’s criteria on Bridgetown’s World Heritage Site designation, do you now, Mr. Name-Dropper?
So why don’t you set the record straight and tell us ‘what’ you are really good at other than being a red-eye yard-bird ensconced in a pen on Roebuck Street?
Now when are we going to see something out of you regarding the ‘conceptualising and implementing’ one piece ah public policy?
At least we know the Salemite is a writer on all things African and who goes by the pen name Yolande Grant.
For the record, here is what you said to the Salemite way back in December 2020.

“Salemite
You can’t because you don’t have a [fcuking] clue. Tell the blog what is the current framework and what it ought to be and why. BU gangstas good at talking eh…talk pretty as RH. I have often asked who here has had any involvement in the formulation, implementation and or management of one single public policy?”

Wishing the PM a safe and speedy recovery
Also to those she was having close contact be mindful

That’s rather magnanimous of you, ac!
As a show of gratitude, maybe, (y)our new-man Ronnie Y will find himself a senatorial seat in Parliament to be the Voice of Opposition.

Maybe you should focus more on comprehension rather than words when you’re reading, then you’ll be able to do more than spout pretty words. Don’t blame me. I feel for you. Rent free in your head. I looooove it. Imagine, my oneself stir up so much bile in you and others. I sleep comfortably daily knowing I am causing indigestion in you and your ilk.
How many persons attended the Zoom?
@ Enuff June 20, 2022 10:41 AM
So do you pay rent to the Salemite or even to BAJE?
Any person who dares to be opposed to your red ‘can-do-no-wrong’ administration immediately comes into your crosshairs of vileness.
Poor Willie Skinner and Walter Blackman both all the way in Atlanta!
Why don’t you be man ‘Enuff’ by standing for Truth and Justice especially when you have been bitch-slapped down by your own MAM?
Now where is your long-promised version of that much needed and costly tourism slogan for Barbados?
That would be a convincing case of you being knowledgeable about how to design and implement good public policy in order to get the Milluh evicted from your empty house.
Now here is the deal, Brother Enuff the king of Bluffers!
Stop attacking WARU the Salemite and the Milluh will be ‘generous’ with you!
Let her tell her own ‘stories’ the same way you want others to let you promote your own fabrications.
Milluh
Unlike you, who once I say blah you jump out, I only respond to 3degree/Salemite/WS etc when they come after me. The fact that you have to conjure fantasy and reference a government to attempt to challenge the veracity of comments, show you’re clearly struggling and will continue to get indigestion from my posts. Do I ever call your name? No! But you always bong out to get catspraddle. You carry on. Waste of time. LMBAO.

So in other words, there is not one single policy that you can point out. Just say so and keep it moving.
PS: Pumping shiiite in the Atlantic or over paying for buses/ garbage trucks is not a “policy”.

The Miller is in such fine form that I must pronounce him as fully recovered.
He did not inform us of any malady,but a sudden decline in his volume of contributions was an indication that the Miller was ‘under the weather’. Now, his line and length are those of a bowler in peak condition.
It is doubtful that they are enuff batsmen who can master his delightful deliveries. Delicacies to one who enjoys the game of cricket.
Oops.. I just figured out why I make some lists.

Nothing surprising from you, confused as usual.
Democratic Labour Party President Dr Ronnie Yearwood has extended get well soon wishes to Prime Minister Mia Mottley.
Mottley has tested positive for COVID-19. A Government statement said “it is a mild case and she has indicated that she is doing well.”

“So in other words, there is not one single policy that you can point out. Just say so and keep it moving.”
MURDAHHHH!!!

@ David,
I have been following the Coroners inquest into the death of Warren Mottley.
Looking forward to the conclusion.
@Hants
Yes, the outcome should help others.
