Barbados Opposition Leader’s Offshore Family Assets Revealed By Blog
If Prime Minister Thompson intended to really do anything to document and recover the public assets outright stolen by corrupt members of the previous BLP government, he would have already done so. But its not going to happen. Thompy has no intention of playing hardball with Mia, Owen and the old BLP gang because he knows that the situation could be easily reversed after the next election.
But that doesn’t stop Thompy from throwing the BLP Government’s corruption in the face of the Opposition every once in a while just for show. That’s what happened in the House of Assembly a few days ago when the Prime Minister quoted a story he saw on a local blog: Barbados Money Laundering Advisory.
BMLA featured a story on the Mottley family mansions in Miami and published photos of the homes that were obviously seen by Prime Minister Thompson. So if Thompson visits the blogs, I guess he’ll pick up on our cartoon as well. This is the second time we’ve published a cartoon showing Mia and David in bed together and it underscores the truth that the public spats between the BLP and the DLP are nothing more than a show.
When the sun goes down and the public isn’t looking – be it land deals, government contracts or a job for somebody’s brother-in-law, the battle cry of the DLP and the BLP is “Let’s cuddle!”

We know Thompy reads the blogs. He admitted it to me in a conversation prior to becoming PM (not that we are friends he was just another politician seeking votes). Remember the effort that the DLP put into trying to get Declaration of Assets etc. into their manifesto? That was driven by the articles and comments in the blogs. I was surprised that he tried to keep Mia off balance by referring to the BMLA story but alls fair in love and politics.

Getting elected is an instant ticket to wealth in Barbados and it will remain that way until we have a government honest enough to pass anti-corruption laws.
That government is NOT the DLP government NOR the BLP government.
We are truly faducked!

Bare show for the public.
Lets cuddle after House of Assembly meetings is so apt. Check all that land opposite Sandy Lane & Fire Station, next to H’way and below Mount Stinkeroo.
Large lots bought for nothing (less than $5.00 per sq.ft) by purported owners such as D.Thompson, B. Miller, D.Inniss, E.H.Thompson and others. Lots to be subsequently resold to Sandy Lane under their expansion project at realistic market price. Presto, large profits. Problem is that the sale could not be immediately done as this would not be good for public image, so a wait until things die down stance is the order of the day.
