DLP DUPING AGAIN JUST LIKE IN 1990s! PUT THEM OUT!

Sue me PLEASE! DLP I mean you!

Yesterday I had the MISFORTUNE of listening to the debate in the House in Barbados in a doctor's office. I was bored mindless.I am in great health by the way for those who rather I was not.lol I would however encourage anyone with common sense to listen to the Opposition Leader's press conference on www.blp.org.

What an unholy disaster the DLP is. Now this has not a thing to do with political affiliation, it has to do with MY common sense.

Much talk about these Constituency Councils was bandied about with great aplomb but no substance and then we hear Sinckler saying "no to Local Government" Interesting, why. Ok, I'll bore you. Local Government has elected members and can bring in taxes to run , say a Parish or whatever the case may be. In this case, the DICTATORS are going to appoint people to administer these Councils. Up to now I have no idea what the purpose is (nor the rant from de Rasta Man - Hammy La -), but I know this. Given the DLP's penchant for firing all and sundry who do not support their policies, I suspect that all the hirees shall be cronies and friends of the said Sinckler and his henchmen. I am open to correction so I am willing to take on Sinckler (crass as he is) anytime, anywhere ,in any forum. I know more about political policy and how a government can be run than he does in 20 lifetimes and it has nothing to do with my academic background. It has to do with caring about people and understanding economics on every scale - micro, macro...you name it and looking at needs and then coming up with solutions post analysis.

He (the Garrison Secondary grad, who is supposedly said to be eloquent but is indeed insulting to the other members and indeed, by extension the Speaker ), rants, raves, cusses people, uses nasty innuendo and then tries to defend the Constituency Councils which are all but identical to Local Government, except for local Government's ability to raise monies and taxes. So is de man confused? Or is he just an ignoramus? Then we have the issue of CLICO. Lordamercy. Up to now, we cannot find out why the PM would take Madam Governor out of her afternoon tea for a mindless and anti-intellectual press briefing that said nothing, in order to cover the tail of his children's Godfather and his good shopping buddy at Sunrise Mall, Ft Lauderdale (I saw them myself) Leroy Parris. Now Sue me, if you want. Truth in defamation is a defense, so here I am waiting on the writ. There is a fundamental problem when CLICO Trinidad is propped up by the Government and its own local Barbados Chairman (albeit a private company) denies that CLICO Barbados is a subsidiary, even Compton Bourne, my good friend at the CDB called him out on this discrepancy. Not only that, absolutely no CEO that should have such a close relationship with a private sector company (and vice versa, I don't care who it is) - it just is not good democracy.

But worse, "the Magician" Sealy, the Minister of Tourism is revamping the BTA (does this mean firing BTA staff that are not BLP supporters?) in order to increase tourism arrivals in Barbados. HUH? Is the Government aware that there is a global recession and that the US visitors will not even take a road trip to the next state so why would they come to an island with the worse service I have ever come across in my life. They do have options. I am widely traveled and I know of what I speak. Barbados is a beautiful island but for the horrible customer service especially in the tourist industry, save a few exceptions (I do like Sandy Lane, Tides, South Sea, Mango BaY and a few others like Lone Star, Fish Pot, rum shops, Susan's Waterfront, etc.) But how will he keep the people employed (except the DLP inherited 2 billion US in foreign reserves which is not for the protection of people but for buying services, products etc), while the supermarket prices (and I have one on my cellphone camera) are skyrocketing by $4 a week; and indeed while the price of Diesel (which is used in our distributive sector) is the one not decreased and gas at the pump was just INCREASED? Huh? Am I confused or stupid. Something is wrong here.....

Magician "David Copperfield" Sealy said that cruise ship arrivals will make Barbados sound for the tourist season which is not going anywhere. Has he ever taken a cruise. They are all inclusive with a few hours stop at a port. so what if there are six ships in the harbour. They are leaving in 24 hrs if so much and how much money will the passengers spend on key rings? Further, a marketing plan to Europe is a waste of time at this point when the EU is looking after itself. I am an EU citizen and I follow EU issues and I know this as a fact, so why doesn't a Government Minister? Protectionism is coming back (or may) in view of economic problems. Not necessarily a great idea in trade liberalization but the USA has a buy USA programme on. Hmmmm.

I could go on but the DLp bores me. I just have this to say. The people said they wanted change and they have it. A deplorable state of affairs which the DLP is blaming solely on the global economy when in fact, the moss was gathering on this rolling stone going nowhere but in a pit, before a recession was named. We all know recessions start earlier, so where is the DLP planning. They do not know what they are doing. They had Mascoll and they ill-treated him and he crossed the floor to the benefit of the BLP, while having sacrificed his PhD for the DLP. Well Bullocks to the DLP. He will rise again as will those with sense.

Really, there are none so blind as those who WILL NOT see. Change, For what. Indeed. The people deserve the DLP. There was a government in place that had the highest ratings at Standard and Poors, Arthur had the greatest of respect in the international world and now we have a group of whippersnappers fumbling about with the peoples/ business.

Oh, by the way. Is the press owned by the DLP. I noticed that both newspapers carry more DLP staged and bamboozled news to editors who I know have a strong affiliation with the DLP. Sue me, go ahead, I am waiting on the writ. File it. Now Mottley has to sue CBC because the DLP (nad its chairman maybe Leroy Parris again), do not think democracy is alive and well in Barbados. Well you voted for a dictatorship,m now deal with it! I don't understand my Bajans gossip but do not complain loudly about the nonsense going on with this Government. Who are they afraid of?
Adios!


p.s. and To that creep Adrian Hinds who asked me if I would still keep my promise to leave Barbados as a UK born and bred Citizen if the DLP gets in, my answer is ........

p.s.s. I smell a no-confidence motion or one term for those twits! And Leroy Parris wants FIRING!
