The majority of Barbadians will awake to the news government paused its asinine plan to rename Independence Day to Barbados National Day. Although some of us understand the sterile rationale for the decision, how can our leaders forget the human considerations to making decisions that involve human beings? It is obvious the budding legacy of Prime Minister Mottley’s government will be the number of initiatives and projects which had to be paused, cancelled or were poorly implemented.
The blogmaster does need to be prolix to articulate the stupidity of the decision to rename Independence Day. It must be an insult for sensible Barbadians to be forced into having this kind of a debate. Perplexing is how the largest Cabinet in our history approved the decision – or did they. How is our government so detached from public sentiment to have mismanaged a simple matter of celebrating two important events on the national calendar?
It makes some of us wonder about the capacity of this government to govern in a post Freundel Stuart period. A government it bears reminding that won at the polls twice with an unprecedented result. If we cannot manage and execute on non complex matters, what about the weightier tasks required to manage a country? To be a fly in a room when members of Cabinet have to negotiate deals with foreign investors, representatives from the IMF and IDB to mention two. It is the season to recall bajanisms – lord, much belly.
Continuing a lowly blogmaster’s lament.
The many ‘UNsassembled’ steel houses imported from China, IDB survey, questionable assurances about the state of the NIS (unable to produce audited financial statements for how long)?, new national ID fiasco, continuing the tradition of ignoring Auditor General’s comments, spike in violent crime, escalating lawlessness on pothole roads, a deer in headlights approach to executing growth plans -how about a relevant Energy Plan to respond to a spiking oil import bill and waste to energy solutions?. ‘Cant name all’.
That said, fake outrage by some of us should not be allowed to flow under the radar. The buck stops with the people in the system of government we practice. In an environment where WE the people voted for members of a single political party, what better time than during the month of Independence to reflect on the best path to take to a Republic.

There’s an expression ‘you start bad, you end bad’. This name change was a part of the decision to become a republic on November 30.
It appears that Mia believes our history cannot accommodate her and another. Hence her desperate attempt to diminish and erase EWB from our history. It is sad that national initiatives are driven by jealousy and being petty.
“I’m a member of a government that listens, and as we’ve done in the past we’ve listened to the voices of the people. I have heard the voices, read the comments from people who are partisan and non-partisan. This has become a divisive issue and has stirred the emotions of the Barbadian public”
Don’t act and then listen. Listen, seek input and then act. This ass-backward approach is what causes our government to often change its course after announcing a policy.
Abrahams’ comment could be taken as serious and sincere if he apologized for the mistake STOP, hard as it would have been.
This sort of thing happens when you have sleeping opposition parties and advisors too afraid to speak truth to power.
These simple failings is why the DLP will probably hold another 30-0. This piece of rock is too small for them to not have heard of the day being renamed.
As a layperson, the renaming to Barbados National Day makes no sense after one minute of thinking the thought through to its logical conclusion. What will we say to a tourist or school child that will not confuse them when they inevitably ask ‘What is the bank holiday for?’
Barbados National Day can be declared as the day the new constitution is completed and proclaimed.
I proclaim another feather in our PM’s cap for acquiescing to the cries of the people and another nail in the DLP coffin for missing yet another chance to prove they not still playing catch-up.

———————————————————
Critical what do you want the DLP to do? The electorate obliterated the DLP twice in four years despite the party’s best efforts to explain to Barbadians the country needs an
opposition in Parliament.
The electorate in their wisdom gave Mottley’s party all the seats in 2 elections. It is criminal on your part to blame the DLP for the dictatorship traits the PM is revealing. The Independence change of date is the latest disregard by the BLP of voters who gave them all the seats. The DLP in fact should be applauded for trying their best to carry on as an organized political entity while having no representatives in the House or Senate.
It is a despicable state of affairs the voters who voted overwhelmingly for the BLP have to deal with. The DLP did tremendous work to transform Barbados into a leading developing country punching above its weight. It is criminal to cast them aside without one parliamentary seat for the 40,000 citizens who voted for them. The snake oil leader basks in the glory of a one-party state flaunting the true colors the DLP warned about. Indeed, former boss Arthur and former colleagues Payne etc. also warned the electorate. The voters blanked the Dems twice anyway.
You Critical know the electorate will forgive the foolishness, the mistakes the demagoguery of Mottley and give her another 30 seats next election. How can you blame the DLP when they are stripped of political strength and resources to even run their crumbling office. Their plight contrasts to the BLP’s squander of millions on overpaid ministers, consultants and spongers.
Billionaires on and offshore fund the BLP. How can the Dems compete? Even so they try. They’ve agitated for the firing of the education minister over the IDB disaster and petitioned for the walk back of the Independence Day fiasco among other issues. Honest observers recognize the Dems make an effort to keep the government on their toes, but human and financial resources are thin. Mottley is in the drivers’ seat and the electorate take what she dishes out. After all it is the electorate who decided they wanted no opposition in Parliament.
Indeed, this outcry was predictable, hence Mia’s promise not to change it in the first place. The is actually a reversal of a reversal.
Unforced error.
If the narrative is that we cannot trust our government, then this obviously would reinforce that opinion.
If it was an attempt to deflect from the IDB violation of rights, then it may change the focus on that particular violation by introducing another feeling of violation and disrespect. So, it reinforces those negative feelings.
It appears too that there may be a legal hurdle that has not been taken into consideration.
This reinforces the idea that this Government thinks it is above the law.
It was put over as a cabinet decision but an astute politician should have known that it will be read as a Mia decision.
This does nothing to dispel the dictatorship narrative.
FURTHERMORE, a government that is forced to “back back” so frequently cannot be touted as “a government that listens”. It is instead a government that is so far removed from the people that it needs a sound amplifier.
Ah well, I guess it is still better than a Sleeping Giant administration.
As I said long ago, we the people are going to have to wield some serious people power and show our polutitions which “God” they are serving. ( I decided to keep the ‘u”. It seemed the keyboard knew better than I).
This should have been a non issue in my book. The change of our head of state was just a completion of our legal process of becoming INDEPENDENT.
This was stated by the PM, I think. Therefore there was no need for a name change.
I had no problem with the same day being chosen. I thought it appropriate to start and end on the same day.
With nimble footwork and some timing this ball could have been smashed out of the oval.

trying to distract from what is COMING FOR THEM and once again showed up their inefficiency, ineptitude, incompetence, uselessness…..
even though the fake independence charade was just that…a mirage…..they should know some people indoctrinated as directed totally believe in it, and the stupidity of trying to change the storyline using sleight of hand to rewrite history for personal agendas was bound to backfire..
colonizers cant even pull that off successfly and get away with it in this timeline…but the under-educated LOW LEVEL MINIONS believe they can…
This is an example of an epic failure, much like “Lettuce Liz” ill fated budget, however it is smart politics that the Gov’t backtracked but if it was a Cabinet decision, how come the change is in effect prior to a Cabinet meeting? Mia saw which way the wind was blowing and instructed her Minister to eat crow by releasing the statement announcing the reversal.
The Gov’t’s vaunted public relations team could have prevented this fiasco by putting out feelers to the Bajan public about the proposed changes months ago and observe public sentiment instead we have the Bull in a China shop approach and announcing it as a fait accompli.
Gov’t by Fiat failed on this occasion.
The story so far..
An Independence Day Name Change was Announced

The vast majority of Bajans voted for the BLP ( not once but twice ) and had a reasonable expectation of very good if not great governance.
PM MIA and the BLP needs more time to meet the expectations of the electorate.
I will leave it to the BU maguffees to give PM MIA suggestions for a path to greatness.
This is Karma, Retribution AND JUDGEMENT.
Listening to Brasstacks right now. David Ellis is moderator,

Lil ignoramus me. I just thought it was another distraction.
Instead of issues within the MoE, to which they will not bend, or listen?, this is to show they do listen.
Change the channel.
Maybe I am too old? Nov 30 will always be Independence day. Call it as you want.
While @Sarge pointed to the T&T experience, my memory says Republic Day there was of such significance, its celebration was actually discontinued for a number of years before being resumed.
As pointed out the actual DATE in T&T was not the date they became a Republic, but, the date Parliament first met under the new Republic Constitution.
So we still have time? Maybe many years?
And does it matter?
For our powers that are, have treated the existing Constitution with scant respect.
Hence, another talking point to move focus away from the woes within the MoE.
@NO
Have been hearing others making the point about distraction but as Donna and others have opined the cumulative effect of the many ‘back backs’ might create a spontaneous combustion of public distrust of the BLP before next general election? Another win by default?
The majority of politicians and government ministers are of average intelligence but we expect them to do jobs just beyond their abilities.

@David
It is you, who reminds us sporadically, that a week in politics can sometimes feel like a year.
No question there can be a cumulative effect. Yet that applies to those who pay attention and are not easily swayed by other factors.
Even @Donna, my memory says, was in a voting quandary just prior to the last election, as she pondered and weighed various factors.
D or B, the island is still suffering from “implementation deficit”. The current PM is on a trajectory for a significant int’l post. What is the island’s trajectory?
@David, prolix you were… good on you 😇👏🏿
But I’ll be brief as I take you up on the understandably facetious note re :
>”Perplexing is how the largest Cabinet in our history approved the decision – or did they. How is our government so detached from public sentiment to have mismanaged a simple matter of celebrating two important events on the national calendar?”
Think it out carefully and actually it’s very clear how this MAM cabinet approved the decision … 1- they are all beholden to a very popular leader (60 – 0 is no momentary swing of populist angst) and 2- to dissent purposefully is to ‘Toppin or Bostic or maybe Caddle’ i.e to be outside the inner circle of excellent perks and salaries!
That may sound self-serving but as you asked me earlier about ‘queries to oneself’ … I do not see any of these ministers as individual ‘craftsmen’ of Barbados’ fate!
Now, to the matter of how this and the ‘back-back’ plays to Bajans. As the Americans or Israelis would say: Meh!!! …. Netanyahu was just RE-ELECTED! Trump remains a possibility … better believe that a week is a long time in politics … a year or two is like a freaking century … so much transpires that this would become meaningless!
And @Northern, like you ‘Independence Day’ will always mean much to me ..but like you I am an oldster… yet, as your fellow Bajan Roett said in a solid piece which Caddle echoed separately – quite interestingly so in the same impassioned ‘sense-of-self’ despite their fundamental differences as Bajans – modifying that naming convention would significantly alter the thinking of what INDEPENDENCE means within 1 or 2 generations. As you appreciate they are correct that it would have no meaning to any of your or my great grands or great, great nieces and nephews here on the rock by the time they reach adulthood!
Peace.
“The majority of politicians and government ministers are of average intelligence but we expect them to do jobs just beyond their abilities.”
very true, they are basic, under-educated and backward, don’t understand the definition of TRUE INTELLIGENCE, live in a world of dependency and don’t know HOW to eliminate that blight…..can only foster further underdevelopment for the island’s population decades into the future….that’s the extent of their usefulness to those with slavery agendas…..because they are embedded in not using real intelligence to do anything …seeing that no one has really called them out on it, and those who tried were attacked..
.that’s why many including myself are happy that they are now at the unenviable and perpetual stage of only delivering EMBARRASSMENT after EMBARASSMENT at world stage level…..because they missed the one thing they should not have…oblivious to the occurence…and now will pay..
..and unfortunately too many of the population were subjected to many. many decades of miseducation and don’t know what to do about their semi-literate misleaders..but they better learn real fast, this is the defining moment and THAT is what they VOTED FOR, so are now responsible for REVERSING IT asap……or go down with them and it..
Bush Tea,
Cheer up it could be worse. As the great Donna said,
“Ah well, I guess it is still better than a Sleeping Giant administration.”
We too love mediocrity in little England.
Peace.
To THE GREAT BIG CHILD IN AN ADULT BODY,
Your comprehension skills are sadly lacking! How could you interpret my comment as loving mediocrity?
Any sensible person would have seen my words as a lament on the quality of our governments B and D.
See how Northern Observer remembers my voting quandary last election day. He remembers because it was he who advised me to vote, since somebody was going to form the government regardless and it was therefore prudent to attempt to elect the better (or less bad) option.
Reluctantly, I did so just a few minutes before the polls closed. This has been the case for the last three cycles.
BUT your childish agenda is to pick at me for what reason only another poppet could understand.
Have you nothing better to do? Well, I do. Out to the Garden of Peace. My sweet potatoes are huge and need to be dug. And the mealy bug at least has a good reason for attacking my eggplant leaves. I am off to dispose of what the ants fail to eat. Blue soap solution will take care of that issue.
I do not know what will take care of yours.
Signed,
“The Great Donna”
@dpd
A slip? “your fellow Bajan” and not “our fellow Bajan” lol
I am split on the issue. We cannot change that Barbados became an independent nation and a Republic on the same date in different years.
For me, age?, Independence trumps Republic. Esp since a new Constitution, did not accompany the Republic. It was a PR event, lacking true substance. So we punted the Queen, while bestowing upon her son, the now King, a high honour, and we have those with training to help draft a new Constitution, bickering over whether they are QC’s or KC’s? Something has changed?
My apologies, the mental chains of colonialism will one day be cut, and…….
Yes @Northern .. a bit of a ‘slip’ ! I was actually going to say your fellow school-mate but then I couldn’t recall if that was true or whether he went to Lodge or where ever.
He has been in the public eye long enough that I recall it being noted in one of the articles about him!
But absolutely quite right … OUR fellow Bajan … As I suggested he is just as much that at Ms Caddle is!
And as @Donna has reminded us in the past so too were her school colleagues are WE BAJANS even though they so beloved Elizabeth to her eternal disdain… It’s just what it is!
Let’s all be craftsmen/women of this island’s fate!

Two reasons.
First it is the site of springs (Freshwater Bay).
The Garden is because it was a former Quaker Burying Ground!!
Spring Garden should be renamed Slave Souls
So glad to see they got a looooonnnggg list of names already, am sure that list can be made so much LONGER.
There is no greater embarrassment in the game of checkers than attempting a ‘huff’ and having to put the checker back on the board. I can only pray that our politicians are equally embarrassed.
Why the reversal?j
Why the back-back?
Why? There was a petition gathering thousand of votes in a very short time.
So what?
Do the maths.
A landslide with about 47% of the voting population participating, can be reversed (lessened) with a few thousand ‘strategically’ placed voters.
If we assume that the same voting proportions exist in the poll, then this level of discontent could easily signal 11,000 disgruntled voters. Not a number to sneeze at.
Just landed at Piarco. Despite years of complaining I end up here (again).

Wait wunna surprise? Where was the referendum promised for a republic held? Hopefully the authorities have learnt now that bajans really don’t care about if we are a republic or not and genuinely have an interest in maintaining some semblance of the past.
You can push and then you can push too far. Barrow did his part for this island, as did Adams and those that followed. Let us leave those that contributed alone and move on to contribute in a new way. If this government wants to put their stamp on their existence then do so going forward.
Barrow was known for independence. Tom for the highway and Central Bank, Sandy for putting country first and saving the dollar, not sure what Freundel did and Thompson’s rule was short.
If this government wants to be remembered then I suggest you do something memorable in the FUTURE and stop playing with our history and those that created it.

Here is a Qigong Energy routine for your eyes only
Our eyes are getting weak by looking at screens all day long when before computers we had to look all over the place which made our eyes naturally stretch and strengthen all day long. Now our eyesight is weakening because the fascia that holds the eyes all the way into the neck is weakening. The good news is we can strengthen that through Qigong eye exercises and massage which stimulate the eyes, stretch them and build elasticity in the fascia, and also works on the lens and fibers in the eyes.
Using the eye massage and eye exercises as taught in this video along with dynamic Qigong exercises.

During the IMF program of the 90’s, Barbadians were still resourceful and conservative in terms of their spending habits. Most middle class families had one car and credit card use was not widespread. That country could take a lash and survive, this country cannot. Austerity in any form will collapse the economy. The mild austerity the DLP tried brought the economy to its knees in 2017 and 2018.
So the solution is to put the country in a holding pattern of begging and borrowing and whenever nature strikes shout climate change at the UN. Imagine world superstar Rihanna touring a hurricane ravaged Bridgetown and backing, along with her superstar friends, a campaign and investment fund to rebuild (and also rob) Barbados to be climate resilient. Billions would pour in for a climate resilient Pierhead project, a 21st century Oistins, windfarms off the north east coast and Barbados bonds would be in high demand.
Problems solved, debt gone, country saved, all we need is one little CAT 5 hurricane.

Unsure of your source for Mr.Jones comments, but an article in BT suggests he is ‘in step’ with other ideas
“CPDC, through this advocacy campaign, is aiming to build a case for Caribbean debt relief as a priority, and also restructuring of existing debt based on the region’s inherent climate and economic vulnerabilities.”
The niceties aside, debt relief/restructure = debt forgiveness. For those who miss it, this is the plan.
To this end Jones said “wealthy, heavily polluting nations owe a climate debt to us, the Caribbean, and all other Small Island Developing States around the world”.

No one here notices how brilliantly our Supreme Leader controls public opinion! The state and the country are drowning in debt, but the naive commentators on BU and other social media only lament about totally irrelevant bank holidays.
Rename Harrison College , Republic College and rename Queens College, Sandra Mason College.
In that way, we would honor our first President.
Republic Day Awards should be as follows:
Rihanna Fenty award for culture
Sir Garry Sobers Award for Sports
Alan Emtage Award for Technology and innovation.
All of these awards should be for citizens under the age of eighteen.

You forgot Mia Mottley. No other person has shaped our island´s fate over the past 400 years as much as she has. Her tenure includes hurricanes, volcanic ash, IMF, DLP and other vermin.
Therefore, Tron predicts that we will soon have a Mia Mottley Day and her portrait will decorate a $1,000 banknote.
@Tron
Are you hinting hyperinflation is inevitable?
Given our horrendous foreign debt, one day we will receive a new currency, the “New Barbados Dollar”. The $1000 note will then be equivalent to the current $50 Barrow, so that all citizens will see our beloved Supreme Leader every day.
We fully deserve to be made mock sport of, by bloggers such as Tron and Lawson.
How a set of people in such a BLESSED place could find ourselves in our current predicament can only be explained in spiritual terms…
To whom much is given, a lot is expected.,
However when BLESSED people INSIST on modeling themselves on brass bowls, the spiritual laws of Karma have NO CHOICE but to step in with appropriate corrective actions.
Owen in one of his moments of sobriety, warned us PUBLICLY of the supreme leader’s inclinations. Bushie also joined in expressing concerns…
The records point to the dismally poor results out there for all to see, of her stewardship over the past 30 years in public life…. in EVERY endeavor – except for her personal enrichment and empowerment.
Yet, like some brass bowls of old did, when they chose Barabbas over the most special bushman who EVER lived, Barbados has CHOSEN such leadership, now 60-0.
It is easy to follow the multitude to do shiite, but having made up our shiite beds, we had better be prepared to sleep in it….
That’s what they voluntarily, without any prompting voted for, although warned, if you don’t vote for these low class nobodies, you have no problems, because you will survive ON YOUR OWN anyway..but they went right ahead and voted for mediocrity, so that’s exactly what they are getting..
i only feel for those innocents trapped in a dangerous go nowhere system for how many more decades….but…..not for the swollen headed idiots who continue to perpetrate it on THEMSELVES….and trying to lure sensible people into their misery loves company..
they look good, no sympathy…and they ran out of apologiies and excuses…and are real quiet these days, seems they even lost the appetite to cuss me.
In the 2018 elections, the BLP use of social media was superior to that of the DLP. I fear we will see the same in 2027.
Ronnie O just put out a very nice message on the Wilfred (WA) Abrahams’s screw-up. But instead of using his own picture he uses that of WA and so it appears as if the statement to was by WA. First impressions and the message are different.
Old or new media, Ronnie O and company must use it more effectively. The message and its packaging must be in agreement.
Beginning to wonder if the blogmaster hired Wilfred Abrahams.

I just heard some disturbing Caribbean news roundup by Win Callender that went as follows:

“Babies dying in Jamaica and those responsible and accountable not lifting a finger, only giving excuses and lies.”

“Politicians publicly telling lies to the people about some mess re removal of one of their liars.”
“Another gaggle of political liars in St. Lucia doing very little or nothing while the roads need repairs, people struggling, the usual blueprint found in Barbados and across the region.”
useless politicians as usual, but it happens everywhere.
and of course the local wicked distraction that backfired about independence day in Barbados…a mirage in and of itself anyway.
so…yall been using a slave master system for 100 years post ongoing emancipation, don’t know how that makes sense, but it is what it is, you did not create said system, but pretend that ya did, now it’s KILLING YOU, destroying you, setting up evil plans for you and your children, grandchildren, future generations etc with the help of LYING POLITICIANS and you STILL WON’T ABANDON IT…so sentimental and nostalgic.

“Politicians publicly telling lies to the people about some mess re removal of one of their liars.”
that one happened in the BVI.
The word is out and spreading like wild fire across the earth.
“never trust your lying criminal governments ever again, it could mean life or death for you and your families.”
does not apply to fowls, imps, pimps or Slaves.
The Bishop of Canterbury, some months ago, warned the churches to stay away from governments, and he was right, when you are right, you are right.
Could have been us.

Hi Frank,

Nice tribute to a good man. May he rest in peace.
I called his name a couple of weeks ago!! When I left HC in 1975 he was a young rebel. When I returned many years later to assist with a Heart Foundation Fair, he was a dignified and potent officer of HC. Flakes was a great guy, very human.
