60 Love Can Lose
It would be remiss of the blogmaster if the yesterday’s 2022 Grenada general election was not highlighted in this space. Keith Mitchell’s New National Party (NNP) won consecutive general elections in 2013 and 2018. The Mia Mottley led Barbados Labour Party (BLP) won consecutive general elections in 2018 and 2022. Today the Prime Minister of Grenada is 44 year old Dikcon Mitchell who led the National Democratic Congress (NDC) to office based on preliminary reporting 9 seats to 6. To his credit 75 year old Keith Mitchell won his seat.
Another example of the people expressing its will in a democracy. Time will tell if the NDC is able to satisfy people expectation or another case of shuffling chairs on the deck of the Titanic. It exposes Mia Mottley and the Barbados Labour Party (BLP) should NOT take its unprecedented mandate for granted. Less than a year into a second term and there is growing discontentment from Barbadians largely because of increasing harsh economic conditions brought on by negative movements in the external market. The main political opposition Democratic Labour Party (DLP) – not dissimilar to the NDC – is led by a new young Dr. Ronnie Yearwood. In fact Dickon Mitchell was invited to speak at the DLP’s Extraordinary Conference on 1 May 2022. The win should help to inspire Yearwood and his team to what is possible.
Some of us recognise the winning of a general election does not translate to manna from heaven, although it relieves concerns about a threat to ‘democracy’ by becoming a de facto one party state. Grenada like Barbados is a small island developing state which makes the job of governing for any government a challenge.
In the case of Mottley and Barbados one suspects if Yearwood is able to present a set of believable plans for Barbados and surround himself with a tean that is perceived as credible, who knows what is possible next election round. The recent decision by the Barbados government to borrow $256 million is not resonating well with the public. In theory many Barbados may understand we need to fix roads and attend to physical infrastructure BUT at what price. The debt stock of Barbados is north of 13 billion!
The blogmaster will continue to retreat to a position some do not accept. Citizens must continue find ways to agitate against our governments – to hold feet to fire. Politicians are in the business of popularity even if it comes at the expense of the people who elected them.

TheO,
The world as I know it, for as far back as I know, has always been mad. Perhaps even madder than it is now. Check the history books! Even America was madder than it is now. So was Europe and so was Barbados, of course. It is just that we expected progress towards fairness and equity to continue at a much faster pace.
We were probably stupid to have expected that. We have all been disappointed. Ordinary people all over the world, except maybe Scandinavia that I know of, are disappointed. This is what has raised the temperature to almost boiling point.
It is only since 1945, that humans have had the power to erase themselves from the face of the earth.
I don’t believe they will do it yet. But we shall see!

I truly hope this small sample of BU posters can not be extrapolated out as representative of the whole nation.
Setting Precedence in Law such as Roe Vs Wade is a completely different concept to tenets of Constitution, which Supreme Court would know, but these Supreme Court Judges are a just bunch of sheisty ringers and the fake process was a set up on consignment under orders from political extremist right wing religious Conservatives.
I guess Ronnie Not Obama Yearwood is an intelligent man, but this could prove to be inconsequential with the Barbadian Population. 90-0 would be a number for the completion annihilation of DLP.

Last week Angela Cox, another hypocrite who spoke of my language, typed WTF which stands for WHAT THE FUCK!
Wunnuh tooo hypocrite!
Of those infants I taught at primary school, I know only one who was arrested for drugs. I must ask what happened to his case. Several others I know about are doing well to varying degrees. Wouldn’t know about the finances of all of them. But I would have heard if they had run afoul of the law in ANY COUNTRY.
Of those young people with whom I interacted in youth groups, only one fell prey to drugs. He was having home problems. His mother told me all about it. He seems to have recovered somewhat. My other young people are all doing well at various professions both academic and otherwise.
The young man I mentored at and out of GIS, has taken the straight and narrow path. He had made up his mind before he even met me that he would not be going to prison EVER. I only made sure they did not lock him up wrongfully by forcing a confession out of him. So….
My son is hardworking, has his own fledgling business, is a loving, right thinking, sweetheart who is no trouble to anyone at all. Girls call him with their boyfriend problems.
Say again about young people I “mentor” being in trouble!

Did you not hear Greenidge (the paid messenger) say that they are now borrowing with TEN YEARS grace period?
in OTHER WORDS, some OTHER patsy will get to worry about repayment. THEY get to spend, consult, and leak…

In March, the IPCC (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change) designated the Caribbean region as highly climate-vulnerable, meaning its people are 15 times more likely to die of climate impacts.”
