We will write this slowly and very carefully. We confirm that the pictures above were taken on January 15, 2008. What this tells us is that the activities captured on the images above took place on election day 2008 in Barbados. We are therefore forced to ask the following questions:
- In Picture #2 the vehicle M50 is clearly visible. Can the presence of the vehicle in the Farm on January 15, 2008 be explained?
- Picture #5 shows Peter Miller in the midst of the crowd. Mr. Miller can you tell us what you were doing? More importantly, what had just transpired in the huddle which made you so pensive?
Would it be expecting too much of our media houses, which have been touted as being full of journalistic standards, to join us by asking the hard questions about events in the Farm on Election Day 2008?
Oooops, we forgot, they need evidence!

Why de DEMS don’t tell wunna how much money get pass out in de Farm to get we to vote fuh Chris.
Wunna men got nuff big talk and high words, but I live dey and I know what I see wid my own two eyes.
If wunna doubt me ask Ross.
i for d bees , i got 4 new tires & rims for my car.. i hope elections were every day..well at least once a month!!
DLP PICK UP BY TRUCK LOADS AND GAVE PEOPLE BETWEEN $120 – $200. Some people didn’t even live in the areas.
I am a young person who was voting for the first time, my friends and myself were offered money from the DLP to vote for them. My friends took the money, but I refused to vote. Both sides are guilty for what they were doing. The economy doesn’t seem so bad now. The same news shows every night, so it seem like the Government don’t have any work to do right now. Everything seems in order for now.
One should ask a few questions when it comes to Rommell Marshall’s case.
1. Did his representative agree with the totals and that everything was done above board. Did he sign off on the count?
2. Was Mr. Marshall on hand when the counting was going on so that he could respond timely to the fact he was losing his seat?
3. Did he in fact ask for a recount within the stipulated guidelines and time frame before the winner was announced?
4. Were the ballot boxes at the counting station so that a recount could have been done?
5. Were all the officers and personnel on hand to execute a recount or were some of them already off premises when the recount was requested?
6. Finally this one really is a sprat but…. whilst Mr. Marshall is in court will he take the time to also tidy up another matter of unpaid NIS?
I also want to express my vexation with regards to people being bought because they cannot see past their noses.
It was touted during the elections how people waited in the rain for BLP manifestos, I remember posting that those people who we saw getting Manifestos would not even have the time to read them or dicipher them.
I have a real problem with Barbadian citizens – young or old, taking money for something they should look at as their constitutional right, payment for votes is downright whoring.
I know that I will get stick for this next comment but I strongly believe that the last administration is to blamed outright for this begging and cap-in-hand mentality that prevades this society today. What ever happened to good old hard and honest days work.
The young boys sitting on the blocks smoking from as early as 7:00 am begging, engaging in destructive activities.
We have become a nation of beggars, lazy and slothful and slovern. Pride and Industry dead and buried.
Also I want to know when the police will do somthing about this foolish Bloods & Crypts gang foolishness, they have all over the place written up with loads of crap, Barbados is a whole ghetto.
And the hurtful thing is that 3/4 of these gang members cannot read, or spell, and then we boast about our literacy rate
are ballot boxes kept for historical record? and if so, where? an is it possible for the government to see how you voted?
