Political Parties, like products, have expiration dates.

Indeed, most things we use e.g. food, medicine, and even people, change over time, AND GO BAD AS IN EXPIRE

I respectfully suggest that, like food, the Barbados Labour Party has reached that “SELL BY DATE”*:

And in the same way Expiry Dates tell buyers the period during which a manufacturer  guarantees their product’s safety, quality, and effectiveness, I’m saying that the Loyal Opposition of Barbados should adopt my campaign to seriously rebalance the 30 to Zero political position 

I draw parallels in my proposed EXPIRATION DATE campaign against the Mottley government to what occurs with any food or medicine Sell By program

BLP_Mia_Mottley

1. *Food/citizen safety* – Over time, food can spoil or grow bacteria that  make people sick e.g. the dictator-like laws the BLP have been passing e.g. removing free speech 

2. *Nutritional/National value* – Governments are like Vitamins and nutrients in foods that degrade over time. And much like food, the BLP has become a political party  which not longer provides the socio-economic  stability it once did.

3. In the same way we look carefully at the *USE by date of medicine and drugs* because they lose potency, observe how the BLP has  changed chemically and toxically towards its citizenry, after this two term period. WE.CANT GIVE THEM 3 TERMS

4. Each of us remembers how some lotions,  and sunscreens, separate and dry out, and how the same product we bought to moisturize our skin caused skin irritation and infections?

Look at the BARBADOS LABOUR PARTY NOW!

Consider certain Computer Misuse clauses it had to retract!  Every week, in addition to the rising cost of living, the violence, the shootings and killings, bajans are being subjected to more and more draconian laws that opposed to making  bajans feel safer, make citizens feel that THEY ARE THE ENEMY OF THE GOVERNMENT OF THE BARBADOS LABOUR PARTY.

So i David Weekes respectfully suggest that, like any product that must meet  consumer confidence,  the BLP government has not meet citizen expectations and since they have exceeded their “shelf life” and can no longer serve their citizens, bajans must make the choices and discard these expired products. *

Consider the Barbados Labour Party to be a 30 product line with several Expired Product tags* and the BLP has exceeded every “best by”, “best before,” “sell by,” “use by” date possible*.

And it is definitely time to take the BLP off the shelves…

  2. The BLP is not so much ‘expired’ …as they have been EXPOSED – to be frauds pretending to be leaders.
    This was INEVITABLE… it was just a matter of time.

    It is written that:
    “Whoever is faithful with very little, will also be faithful with much, and whoever is dishonest with very little will also be dishonest with much” Luke 16:10

    Where have we seen the required signs of ‘faithfulness’ in small areas of responsibility that qualifies this mafia of pretenders to be WORTHY of being trusted with national leadership?

    National leadership is NOT a pathway to a lucrative power welding career…
    It is a CALL to NATIONAL SERVICE and sacrifice …for the good of the whole society.

    It is NOT an opportunity to access bribes and gifts from GREEKS…, It is a RESPONSIBILITY to champion RIGHTNESS, FAIRNESS and LAWFULNESS.

    Expired shiite!
    …as Owen Arthur warned us, they have shown themselves to have been NEVER ready, and the higher a monkey climbs…

    What a place!!

  4. Never make a politician grant you a favour
    They will always want to control you forever, eh

    So if a fire make it burn (make it burn, make it burn)
    And if a blood make you run (make you run, run, run)
    Rasta up on top, can’t you see

    Notting Hill Carnival this weekend in London Town

    With only 44 million people spread across its islands, the Caribbean has had an extraordinarily disproportionate impact on music around the globe. Often western media will use Jamaican culture as interchangeable with that of the whole Caribbean, and while reggae and dancehall remain in rude health, their international acclaim can obscure the fact that the other islands have been gestating their own styles for decades.

    “Bouyon is a Dominican French word meaning a mixture of foods,” Tilly says. “Let’s say you’re cooking; you put yam, banana, chicken, fish, dumpling with all the seasonings, it’s an all in one dish. So the music is a fusion of African beats, soca, EDM, the Haitian music kompa, French music and calypso. Like the food, we put it all together to make one pot, it’s a fusion of all Caribbean music. And then it has the ‘dom dom dom’” – he makes the unmistakable sound of a thudding kick drum. “That’s how you know it’s bouyon.”

    “It’s so energy-driven, and the way the youth react to it is so different. True bouyon is too melodic to be stopped!”

    Point in the sub-text is the Barbados Underground team (David and Bush) have been editing posts like a radio station banning the music / message controlling the narrative in it’s efforts to get Ralph elected as top dog so they will be on the inside track to be granted favours when power switches

  7. Cheap consumption hurting Caribbean

    ECONOMIST DR JUSTIN RAM is calling for fundamental change in the economic model used by Caribbean countries “if we want to improve development outcomes in our region”.

    Ram, a former director of economics at the Barbados-based Caribbean Development Bank, made this recommendation in his recentlypublished research paper Comparative Advantage, Cheap Consumption, And Poor Development Outcomes In The Caribbean.

    The economist has a problem with what he sees as the flawed notion “the availability of cheap consumption measures economic well-being”. He believes instead that the focus should be more on the human development outcomes – well-being.

    “As an economist, I look at solutions via two routes: one, tackle the root cause, two, or help people cope with the effects. Because most economists are steeped in the comparative advantage doctrine, the economic problem is misdiagnosed,” he noted.

    “So most structural reform programmes focus on number two, helping people cope with the effects when the reformers believe they are tackling the root cause.

    “This is why the problems of lack of competitiveness, low growth, and high debt levels keep resurfacing as economic problems in the Caribbean: the current economic model will always lead to these outcomes.”

    He continued: “Fundamentally, our economic development, well-being, and performance measures are flawed. We need more micro measures of development that focus on what Sir Arthur Lewis once described as the study of economics, which is ‘the conditions under which people live’.

    “We need to return to this earnestly to develop our small economies as places worthy of human occupation, with formidable and resilient conditions under which people live.”

    Ram pointed out that “most economic observers using their typical macroeconomic lenses would say that [Caribbean] economies have performed reasonably well from the time of independence until about the first decade of the new millennium, and with a relatively recent stagnation due to a lack of competitiveness, poor business environment, and bloated state sectors”.

    “I believe that . . . the root cause of the problem has not been identified, or economists are unwilling to even consider it since the theory that underpins much of the global economic order and, indeed, globalization could be the problem.

    “Since the 1980s, the economic doctrine has measured economic progress by consumption efficiency. However, I would like to say that what we have followed is not economically efficient since this would imply that all other factors and the economy are operating efficiently.”

    Ram observed that the region had instead “followed the notion that the availability of cheap consumption measures economic well-being”.

    “This implies that countries should seek to open their markets so that residents can consume products made the most efficiently wherever they might be,” he said.

    “Well-being is, therefore, measured by how residents can spend their incomes on the cheapest goods available globally to help their incomes stretch further. How much an individual can consume with their earnings rather than what they can produce is the predominant measure of development.”

    Ram said this is the theory of comparative advantage, or as he called it cheap consumption, which underpins the global economic order.

    The economist said that the region’s focus on imports and cheap consumption meant that an “economy never becomes truly innovative, or there is no need for deep technological know-how or innovation, when all global innovation is only one shipping container or a click away”.

  8. Trust crucial

    All have part to play in national security, says Straughn

    ALL BARBADIANS, says Minister in the Ministry of Finance Ryan Straughn, have a vital role to play in the country’s national security.

    He gave the admonition yesterday during the 120th anniversary service of thanksgiving for the Barbados Customs and Excise Department, at Calvary Moravian Church in Roebuck Street, The City.

    “It is important that, going forward, we chart a different course because with all that’s happening in the country you must be able to say that whilst any organisation will face its challenges . . . if we work together we can overcome challenges.

    “A lot has been said recently in relation to some decisions the Government has made in relation to national security, but more [important] is how we relate to each other.

    “If we [are] going to be on a mission together, you must trust me and I must trust you in order to ensure that the achievement of that mission is not undermined in any way, either internally or externally. Therefore, we have to recognise that the challenges we are facing are not just internal to customs or internal to Barbados but we are facing global challenges with people organising with motives which are very different from us.

    ‘Trust and verify’

    “In recognition of that, we must ensure that in the Customs and Excise Department, just like any other department that is involved in national security, the ability to trust and verify is absolutely fundamental,” the minister stated.

    Straughn told the congregants that all Barbadians have roles to play in safeguarding national security.

    “With everything that is happening in this country, from crime to the violence that we are witnessing, we all have a part to play in solving this but it means that we must be able to do what has not been done, if we are going to retake the society, if we are going to restore pride and industry in this country and the Customs and Excise Department forms part of that architecture, just like the prison and police service.

    “But more importantly, each of us as citizens, ultimately we are the architecture that must be deployed collectively, if we are going to solve these issues. None of us can take for granted that our safety is assured if all of us don’t agree to the same standards of behaviour, the standards that we want to see operating, not just within organisations but across the length and breadth of Barbados,” he said.

    His intervention, he said, was in recognition of what the Customs and Excise Department has achieved in the last 120 years, not just as a critical institution of Government but equally critical as it related to the citizens of the country and the reputation that the department needed to embark upon, that of integrity, truth and professionalism.

    “It means now that each of us must lift our game even higher if we are to contribute to reclaiming Barbados and, therefore, the commitment of the Government, as I am here to share, is that we would wrestle these challenges to the ground but the only way we can . . . is if each of us as citizens understand the importance as to why some of the changes are necessary.”

    Several months ago, Prime Minister Mia Amor Mottley, speaking at a press conference at Ilaro Court, said Government was pressing on with the initiative of lie detector testing, as part of a broader legislative and institutional effort to combat corruption and stem the flow of guns and narcotics through official state channels.

    Attorney General Dale Marshall said Government took deliberate steps to engage stakeholders to ensure the process was one of collaboration, not coercion.

  9. Bushie is FOR the lie detector test…

    EVERY person in a critical position of authority should be subject to a STANDARD lie-detector procedure, the results of which would be reviewed by a jury or panel, and appropriate actions should then be MANDATED based on the results.

    Obviously the process MUST start at the top….

  10. The bottomline is that the duopoly has skirted the issue of implementing transparency laws for decades in Barbados for obvious reasons. We the people accept it and are led by the politicians and their surrogates to focus on less relevant issues. What can be more important than implementing a governance framework which holds our officials accountable?

    Is this OUR Enuff….???!!
    Bushie thinks NOT….!!

    Real-Enuff would NOT sink to the level of justifying the BLP’s OBVIOUS failures by pointing out that – ‘there are others who are even worse’…..

    NAH!!!
    OUR Enuff looks up to the HILLS …and aims for the stars…
    OUR Enuff learns from past errors ..and moves up and on….

    ….unless of course even Enuff now see the nakedness…
    and is saying that at least the BLP has a scarf…

    Skirted? You are very polite today. The second anniversary of the PMs address to the Nation. The promised Ministerial statement has not occured (skirted?), and the completed NIS reports seem to have been lost, at least they haven’t been laid before the House, as required by law. (Skirted?). Yet water rates haven’t risen as promised, and the vendors at Savvy have remained, though there has been no change in ownership.

    My comment is not opened to debate, it’s factual–some meds never make the shelf. Instead explain to the people in the Scotland District why repairing their bridges and roads is a waste of money.


  14. NO
    That one-trick pony designation really struck a nerve. Murdaaa!


  15. The Barbados Liberal Party (BLP) is not a medicine with an expiry date, but a natural miracle stimulant for the people and the economy. Just as the nation is immortal, so is the BLP as its sole legitimate representative.
