The DLP would like Bajans to believe that “the global recession” is the blame for all our challenges, but this is simply NOT the case, and a attempt to mislead Bajans. The DLP cannot blame the global recession for the “RECESSION OF IDEAS, VISION, and LEADERSHIP” that has plugged the current DLP government and PM from day one.
In soccer when you keep passing the ball to a striker who keeps missing the goal, you don’t keep passing him the ball; it’s time to pass the ball of government leadership back to the BLP who can get Barbados back on track.
Below is the DLP report card on DLP manifesto promises which have mostly become all DLP failures:
1. Lower the cost of living – “F”
2. Improve access to property ownership – “F”
3. Health care for all – “D”
4. Education for the 21st century – “F”
5. Family First – “F”
6. Empowering our young people – “F”
7. Enhancing the role of Women – “D”
8. Treasuring our Elders – “F”
9. Sports for All – “F”
10. Social Security Improvements – “F”
11. Making our culture work for us – “F”
12. Hassle Free Service – “F”
Another key failure of the DLP as recently admitted by the PM himself has been their inability to have any positive impact on lowering unemployment in Barbados instead it has risen and is still rising.
If you think you pockets are empty now under the current DLP government, with 5 more years forget the “POCKETS” they coming for your “PANT”.
Barbados Underground 
still waiting to hear the specfics of THE BLP? TESTED AND TRIED IS NOT Enough much like insulting the intelligence of the electorate who wants to know the alternative .
The quip of the night @ Rices , St. Philip came from a lady in the crowd.
When David Estwick reminded the crowd that Owen Pledge for 2013 was to put “money” into people pockets.
The lady in the crowd retorted ” fuh 14 years of Arthur I ain’t get none…..he put the money in GREENLAND and the BLP cheque in his PERSONAL bank account. Now if she and she family send a milk box a garbage to GREENLAND it cannot receive it. So why he want to come back ? ”
Those who heard her retort shouted…it is DEMS in the morning and the evening !
Owen Arthur is now caught like a RAT in a TRAP. PM Stuart again told the huge Rices crowd that ” Arthur wrote him as PM trying to sell MAM to the DEMS for 30 pieces of SILVER ”
It is the 3rd public charge from PM Stuart….OWEN cannot admit it or else the BLP 2013 campaign will end IMMEDIATELY !
Admission will confirm to the DOUBTERS that BLP UNITY………is just a fleeting ILLUSION !
Sing Biggie Irie….we voting DEMS now !
The sheep mentality will not cut it when everyone except the politicians and their families start suffering from hunger. WHO TRIED TO COVER UP THE THEFT OF SEISMIC DATE FROM THE PMs OFFICE, WHO STOLE THEM AND TO WHOM WERE THEY SOLD??????????????????????????
@ Observing,
the DLP would need a visual head to head between FS and OSA
Will the leaders and deputies debate face to face on televison rumour is Owen dont want to what is he afraid of?
It must be said that if not for the 2.8 billion in reserves we would have been worst than JUNK status. This continual reference to recession is but a mere excuse for poor management. The BLP could talk about the many outside challenges they had while in office including the steady rise in oil prices to a record US$147.00 per barrel. However the problem with the current administration was the constant blaming and not taking responsibility. They failed to take the warning of OWEN of impending world economic decline and promised the world to Barbadians. They had a big fete up OIstins to fool the young people and got in. Then they started crying recession for every failed project or idea. They would not get on with the job but were on CBC constantly “LOOKING BACK”. They failed to inspired class leadership by the constant denial and blame. THE DEMS are like a man how marries a woman who came with good and bad and only wanted the good. She came with baggage that the man did not want to accept and likewise the DEMS did not want to accept when they married the country the baggage that came with that marriage. LOOKS like divorce is the what will happen and they only can blame themselves. By the way the woman thought the proposal and the marriage where a CONTRACT NOT an INTENT. The manifesto we are told was not a social contract but an intent…..I guess then that the people intend to DUMP DEM!
Did not former chief justice David Simmons say he has something to reveal that will be ‘earth shattering’?Does anyone any idea what that might be about?
..
Why didn.t OSA heed his own advice and restructure the barbados economy. gimmicks and tricks not gonna do it now.. people looking for answers .he said he has them . now it is time to show and tell.
The lady in the crowd retorted ” fuh 14 years of Arthur I ain’t get none…..he put the money in GREENLAND and the BLP cheque in his PERSONAL bank account. Now if she and she family send a milk box a garbage to GREENLAND it cannot receive it. So why he want to come back ? ”
THAT’S A GOOD ONE FRACTURED BLP BUT LET ME GIVE YOU ONE I HEAR FROM A MAN IN POLITICAL DEBATE WITH HIS FRIENDS- IT GOES LIKE THIS ‘THEY SAY THE BLP THIEF FOR 14 YEARS BUT AT LEAST I HAD SOME OF THE TIEFING MONEY IN MY POCKET BUT THESE BUNCH IN TIEF BUT THE COUNTRY WORSE OFF AND I IN GOT NO MONEY IN MY POCKET. I VOTE FOR THEM LAST TIME BUT I THINK I PREFER TO GO ALONG WITH THE TIEVES BECAUSE I WAS BETTER OFF”
Hi Balance,
You last comment was fine , however , the challenge Owen Arthir has is that he told Barbadians to BLAME him for the billion $$$$ wastage of his 14 in office.
Why bring him back after such squandermania ?? Not me…..and BALANCE would recognise that as a……BALANCED approach .
@ David
The BLP is doomed in this campaign. The election fraud on Saturday night will not cut it, people can see right thru that gimmick. The fact that the BLP needs to keep publishing their (alleged) numbers is evidence that they are desperately trying to jump start the BLP car which clearly stalled late last year.
Push as they might, it is not a genuine movement by the people, its optics, optics, PR and spin.
it WONT work.
I here dying with laughter hearing Freundel Stuart saying that he does not want to be a leader whom people fear.
Was that not the reason why the GANG of 11 met at a secret location to plot against him because they were afraid to talk to him face to face even after cabinet meetings?
He really had the nerve to say that EWB, Sandi and the dead king never ruled by fear.? He really is a sleeping lion in truth? He has never heard how EWB fired senators from under a street light, or the spite of a quiet Sandi or as the kingmaker said at DT’s funeral that DT preferred to clip off people’s wings for spite?
Freundel, we soon will see the back of you!
Blance typical anwer from the BLP it is/all about their own self interst even if it meant “thieving” to do so. god dam shame……………….one another note OSA says he not making any promises .however MIA made some of her own like cut the vat “REDUCE ELECTRIC BILLS wonder who gonna foot the high defecit
‘You last comment was fine , however , the challenge Owen Arthir has is that he told Barbadians to BLAME him for the billion $$$$ wastage of his 14 in office.”
FRACTURED IF YOU HAVE EVIDENCE TO CONVINCE ME THAT THE PURPORTED WASTAGE BY THE BLP RESULTED IN ILLGOTTEN GAINS TO OWEN AND HIS ENTOURAGE, THEN BY ALL MEANS HE SHOULD NOT BE A MEMBER OF THE HIGHEST COURT IN THE LAND.BUT FRACTURED FROM ALL SPECULATIVE REPORTS, SIMILAR CHARGES HAVE BEEN LAID AT DOORSTEP OF MR MICHAEL LASHLEY, MR DAVID THOMPSON AND MR DENIS LOWE EVEN BEFORE THE INK DRIED ON HIS APPOINTMENT AS MINISTER.AND FRACTURED WASTAGE IS NOTHING NEW, I CAN POINT YOU TO WASTAGE UNDER DLP ADMINISTRATIONS HEADED BY OUR ILLUSTRIOUS FATHER OF INDEPENDENCE. POLITICIANS WILL MAKE MISTAKES, THEY ARE NOT INFALLIBLE BUT IF THE MISTAKES WERE MEANT FOR THE COMMON GOOD WHY BEHEAD THEM. SHOULD THE DLP NEVER HOLD THE REINS OF GOVERNMENT BECAUSE CARICARGO WAS RUN INTO THE GROUND BY THEIR HENCHMEN OR CARIBBEAN AIRLINES, SEAFOODS LIMITED, CARSICOTT, ENTERPRISE COAST GUARD STATION OR WARRENS CREMATORIUM RESULTED IN MASSIVE WASTAGE OF GOVT FUNDS. UNLIKE YOU, I DO NOT BELIEVE SO, I BELIEVE WHEN THEY INITIATED THESE PROJECTS THEY MEANT WELL.
“PRIME MINISTER that curse his female Ministers and female candidates while in and out the Prime Minister position”
so did our father of independence. ask mrs gertrude eastmond.
“As far back as 1996, I personally asked the then AG David Simmonds for breath analysers to assist the police when they intercepted persons driving under the influence”
WHAT A WISE DECISON BY MR SIMMONS FOR NOT ALLOWING PARANOIA TO SABOTAGE THE LAST VESTIGES OF WHAT WE HAVE TO OFFER AS A TOURISM PRODUCT. GEORGIE, TOURISTS COME HERE TO DRINK OUR MOUNT GAY AND BANKS BEER AND LET OFF THEIR STEAM.ARE YOU GOING TO BREATHALYSE THEM TOO?WHAT EVIDENCE IS THERE ANYHOW TO INDICATE THAT THE 30 OR SO ROAD FATALITIESWE HAVE EVERY YEAR ARE AS A RESULT OF DRINKING AND DRIVING. WE TO LIKE TO COPY EVEN TO OUR OWN DETRIMENT.
MR PRODIGAL, I UNDERSTAND THE WHOLE OF BARBADOS WAS EATING RICE LAST NIGHT IN ST PHILIP. WHAT SAY YE?
I don’t understand why the DLP don’t seem to have any money to run their campaign.
We were told that the PM had the election date in mind from 2 years ago.
40,000 people normally vote for the DLP.
Suppose half that number were willing to give the party a lil’ piece ‘o change
Say $20 dollars per month, or about 66 cents a day.
20,000 people x $20 per month=$400,000 per month
$400,000 x 24 months=$9 million, 600,000 thousand
Plus interest a cool $10 million or so. Enough to run any political campaign, without being beholden to those who claim to be rich, but who are in fact only big thieves and tremendously damaging to any party.
The party which uses this formula, that is ordinary amounts of money from ordinary people will will the election.
@Balance “TOURISTS COME HERE TO DRINK OUR MOUNT GAY AND BANKS BEER AND LET OFF THEIR STEAM.ARE YOU GOING TO BREATHALYSE THEM TOO?WHAT EVIDENCE IS THERE ANYHOW TO INDICATE THAT THE 30 OR SO ROAD FATALITIESWE HAVE EVERY YEAR ARE AS A RESULT OF DRINKING AND DRIVING.”
The tourists are brethalyzed in their home countries and won’t object to being breathylyzed here.
The tourists mostly take taxis, or perhaps have designated drivers.
We don’t have the evidence because under our present laws we have no means of collecting it.
Wait until a tourist, especially an American tourist is killed by a drunk driver, and that tourist’s family decides to take us down to the wire.
It gine be cat piss ‘n pepper.
And we won’t be able to say we were not warned.
I would be fearful of a leader who appears to or pretends to not know what’s going on in his office or pretends to not get daily briefings. I won’t trust that one at all.
The DEMS talking bout Haggatt Hall Party and got a big party for Passage Road…well..well! Trying to fool people again…..
