As a Cabinet Minister, Lynette Eastmond was one of the first BLP politicians to embrace the internet and blogging, (even coming onto Barbados Free Press before the questions about her conflicts of interest became too uncomfortable) so we are not surprised that she has continued to utilise the internet in her new life.
Her three new blogs “Eastmond Parris Business Solutions“, “Eastmond Parris Law“ and “Eastmond Parris Tax“ also show that she has learned some lessons about linking to popular content to gain hits.
Good luck to Lynette Eastmond.
… but remind us, folks. What was the story about Lynette’s office and public funds or something? Are we thinking about someone else? Help us out here. Thanks!
Tip of the hat to Barbados Underground for first picking up on Lynette Eastmond’s new blog.

You mean about Senator Eastmond occupying a RDC house as campaign headquarters?
Corrupt? yes!
Will Thompson do anything about it?
Not a chance.

Come on folks, stick to facts… The St. Philip West constituency office is a private home which is rented, it has absolutely nothing to do with the RDC.

BFP Says,
But who was the home rented from? And wasn’t there govt money put into it prior to the renting?
What were the circumstances, folks? I don’t recall what the allegations were.

The home is rented by the constituency branch not Ms. Eastmond, why do you need to have the name of the private individual. The house was repaired by the owner no government funds were used. This will be my last comment on this matter, these are the facts but you seem intent on looking for dirt where there is none. Am I surprised NO…

If there was transparency and accountability, there would be no need for questions!

I am still amazed that honest, intelligent Bajans wish to offer themselves for public office when people hiding behind the anonymity of a blog continue to try and besmirch them even when presented with the facts. It really is quite ironic that these same bloggers accuse reputable newspapers of being gutless rags.

Do not act as though Lynette is a saint who is being maligned!!!
She is part and parcel of a group of BLPites who have just completed one of the worse cases of political whore-mongering ever visited upon this land.
Have you already forgotten the “Taiwan money story”…the Irene Sandiford-Garner “bullets through the window” episode…the “Philip Greaves and Sleepy Smith and Mascoll too attempted decimation” under the protection of Parliamentary Privilege…The attack on Steve Blackett and Undene Whittaker…the verbal and physical attack of Adrian Loveridge in Oistins…and many more too numerous to mention???
What did Ms Eastmond do about it???…as a matter of fact, what did any BLPite say to counter the tearing down of opponents and impugning of their character???
Nada,nothing,rien,zilch,nuffin…
Now tell me about people in glass houses again…I love that saying!!!

BFP,
I am glad Lynette Eastmond gone to FRANCE……..to be more precise to PARRIS !!!

I know all the secrets although it is no secret who she rented the home from. It was the family home of one of her staunch supporters who also introduced her to the BLP brand of politics. It is a RDC home and was the family home of one of the former ministers of government!!! It is no secret!!! Lynette ’s family lives almost next door to the constiuency office! Cha!!!

………………………………………………………………………………….
How can you state it is a family home, yet make a full circle and say it is a RDC home. You surely do not “KNOW ALL” by the way you are contradicting yourself. Come on guys, let’s look at the bigger picture and stop with the propaganda. We seems to have more questionable sexes by the way you behave.

Remember I said it WAS the family home, not is!!!And on whose land is built on? After the patriarch died, it was rented to the constuiency office…but it is the tax payers money that was spent to repair or build it…and No politicans have a right to use it when there are so many persons out there who want homes in the same constiuency!! It is wrong!!! Frankology, you should stop making excuses for wrongdoing!!! Whether it is the Bees or the Dees, it is WRONG!!
