Barbados Underground- It Feels So Good!Recently BU posted two blogs about the Bajan brand. What can we tell about the Bajan brand if we are to judge by the following comment made by the UK’s latest lottery winner Les Scadding of £45.5m? The couple robustly insisted they would keep their feet on the ground and ‘think very carefully’ about what [...]
- Nation Newspaper Creates News Based On Unscientific Cellphone PollSubmitted as a comment by Adrian Hinds Two accepted scientific polls with results unfavourable to Mia Mottley, followed by two questionable polls that are favourable to her. The latter enabled by the Nation newspaper; coincident, or a deliberate attempt to create news rather than report it? We should remember the 2007-8 Cadres poll that suggested 20-10 [...] […]
- 2009 Final Barbados National Survey On Corporal Punishment And Educational Issues ReportExtracted from the CADRES Survey done on behalf of the Barbados Union of Teachers (BUT) and the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) provided to BU with the compliments of Peter Wickham, Head of CADRES The report speaks to the issue of corporal punishment and other major educational issues in Barbados, based on a July 2009 Barbados [...]
- Does The Black Race Suffer From An Inferiority Complex?As great as the late Michael Jackson was many Blacks questioned his acceptance to being a Black man. His transformation to a lighter skin complexion in his later years was viewed with suspicion. Despite many news reports which have suggested Michael Jackson was afflicted with the disease known as vitiligo, Blacks have remained suspicious. The [...]
- Police Tortures Teen In GuyanaSubmitted by Dawn Simmons – Chairman of the North American Region People’s National Congress Reform The North American Region of the People’s National Congress Reform condemns the most recent heinous acts of torture committed by members of the Guyana Police Force on a fourteen-year old, while in their custody at the Leonora Police Station, Guyana. The [...] […]
- The Urgency Of Pursuing A Renewable Energy Agenda For BarbadosMaybe BU missed it and if we did we are willing to apologize to the government. It is approaching two years since the Democratic Labour Party (DLP) took-up the reigns of government and we are still to sense the urgency of its renewable policy. So far all we have read about is the wind farm [...]
- GEMSWhat are the functions and objectives of an independent Senator? During the time the late Sir John Stanley Goddard sat in the Senate he repeatedly called for up-to-date financial statements for Hotels and Resorts Limited to be made available. After all, it’s a majority Government owned company funded by the taxpayer and surely we have a [...]
- BU Family Member Asked To Contribute To Call-in ShowThe following comment was posted by BU family member ROK. We invite the family to share feedback before and during the show if they can to represent the views of the BU family. Hopefully ROK will be given some latitude to represent the Bajan blogosphere. Here is the link to VOB to the 12PM EST [...]
- Defending The Bajan Brand – IISubmitted by Kim Young as a comment to the BU blog Defending The Bajan Brand You know David, I share the views of some of your commentators. First, I think I understand what you mean by “reputational management”. I suspect that you are alluding to the good reputation Barbados has on the international scene as a [...]
- Remembering What WAS BajanSubmitted by Sapidillo There seem to have been many characters with the same nicknames in other neighbourhoods. A lady named Silvia; one day, she asked one of the boys on the pasture to run an errand for her; she offered him some soup. He said that Silvy taught that she was making dumplings and made [...]
- Is The Local Media Turning The Corner?Credit has to be given where it is due. The local media has developed in recent days a frenzied pursuit of a story which details how a man rose from the dead and waltz out of the Queen Elizabeth Hospital morgue. Of course BU is NOT suggesting we should trivialize the story of Mr. Scantlebury. [...]
- Mottley Much Too Negative!Prime Minister Thompson made an observation last Sunday evening that set me thinking. He said, in effect, that Opposition Leader Mia Mottley had become the face and voice of negativity and bad news in Barbados. I had never actually verbalized it in that manner, but as I think about it, he is correct! Whenever I see [...]
- Angry Black Men: The Psychopathology And Its Perturbations On The Black FamilySubmitted by Terence Blackett Beginning any controversial piece of literary discourse can be a daunting task. Equally challenging is tackling a taboo subject area which can be exhilarating, as one grapples with the issues that are so pertinent to the thesis you are trying to build – in order that it may have structural integrity. The [...]
- Guyana Government Has Institutionalized Torture As An Instrument Of Law Enforcement In Violation Of Extant Constitutional And International LawSubmitted by by Rickford Burke, President of the Caribbean Guyana Institute for Democracy (CGID) I join Guyana’s former Attorney General, Bernard de Santos, Attorneys-at-Law Nigel Hughes, Raphael Trotman, Khemraj Ramjatan and 25 other prominent Attorneys, in strongly condemning the barbaric torture of the 14 year-old son of Ms. Shirley Thomas, as well as the […]
- Defending The Bajan BrandBarbados despite its size and paucity of resources has been able to build a brand identity which is respected by many in the region and internationally. Barbados did not develop a respected brand by accident. The good governance of Barbados in a post-independence period has manifested itself through a stable political and social climate. The [...]
- Tourism In Crisis, But The Minister Is Not Concerned – Not Even About His ShadowSubmitted by a BLP Supporter First, the Minister was going after new markets, even before seeking to sure-up the ones Barbados had. Then there was a money-back-gimmick if the temperature dropped. A substantial amount was being deducted from every package booked. We then heard about ‘staycations’ and marketing Barbados’ tourism product on the blogs. Prime […]
- Guyana Police Under Fire For Brutal Torture Of 14 Year-oldSubmitted by Caribbean Guyana Institute for Democracy (CGID) NEW YORK: The Caribbean Guyana Institute for Democracy (CGID) Sunday harshly condemned the brutal torture of a 14 year-old boy by Guyana Police at the Leonora Police Station, West Coast Demerara. The Institute also accused the force of an attempted cover-up, and is calling for the removal [...]
- 25 Prominent Attorneys In Guyana Condemn Brutal Torture Of 14 Year Old Minor By Guyana PoliceSubmitted by Rickford Burke of Caribbean Guyana Institute for Democracy (CGID) Public Statement by Attorneys 31st October 2009 “No person shall be subject to torture or to inhuman or degrading punishment or other treatment.” Article 141 of the Constitution of the Cooperative Republic of Guyana. “Any person who is arrested or detailed shall be informed as soo […]
- The Shady, Secretive World Of Peter Andrew Allard And The Graeme Hall Nature Sanctuary: Does Barbados Need Any Of It?Submitted by a BU family member It seems that, having failed miserably in his efforts to acquire Kingsland Estates Limited and to drag Barbados’ court and government and people through the mud in the Ontario courts, Canadian (Albertan) Peter Andrew Allard is attempting now to sue Barbados under a Canada – Barbados bilateral trade agreement. The attempt […]
- Are Our Key Professions In Crisis?All professions are important to ensure the productive capacity of the country is firing away on all cylinders. Is is true to say however that some professions can be viewed as being more important than others? BU subscribes to the view in the Barbados context teachers, policemen and nurses represent core professions which are key [...]

If you’re asking if the picture is real you need to turn your computer off and sell it.
Trust me. You’re too gullible to be perusing online.
