PM David Thompson & Henry Hartley
Sorry folks, I couldn’t leave this one alone so I’ll make it quick.
In his new Barbados Advocate column Strange Move by Mottley, DLP front man Hartley Henry expresses dismay that BLP Leader Mia Mottley is calling attention to the $63 million dollar judgment that Barbados owes to contractor Al Barack (or Al Barrack – both spellings abound).
According to Hartley, he couldn’t believe his eyes because “when the true story is told and whatever normally hits the fan, smashes into it, that some will splash on her.” In other words, Hartley is saying that the BLP has done so much wrong and corrupt in relation to the story surrounding Al Barrack that Mottley should keep her mouth shut in case the truth outs and the public finds out.
Now THAT is truly the cow dung in this piece and it is Harley Henry that is shoveling it.
You see, in the two years that the DLP Thompson government has been in power, no member of the previous BLP government has been charged with any offense by the DLP government. Oh, there’s lots of evidence alright, but the DLP has agreed with the BLP that there would be no charges filed – only strong words. The DLP doesn’t want the same treatment back when they lose office.
My friends, in that context the latest column by Hartley Henry becomes just so much noise and cow dung. Mia Mottley isn’t worried at all about the DLP posturing regarding Al Barack.
The DLP is NOT going to do anything about BLP corruption. They haven’t in two years and they are not about to start now.
BLP = DLP = Elites.
Same old, same old ’bout hey!

Fuh true. Except we need to remember the Taitt/St. Joseph Hospital issues and who got hundreds of thousands if not millions from it.
Why doesn’t the minister tell us why everything has gone so “cold” with clico now that almost a year has passed since the bailout of its T&T parent was announced. Is he scared of telling us the state of play? Why not tell us all in a state of the nation broadcast?
Dear Mr. Duck, Esq,
The rumor mill, meaning a good friend who is “in the business” and is far more than credible, has suggested that the $10 million local bail-out is actually a mere ten percent of what will ultimately be needed to save the local Clico. Yup, $100 million! Do you think ANY prime minister is going to go public with that information?
Yours,
Mr. Rabbit
An inquiry to the Bajans on the Blog.
One has heard rumours of a new national newspaper (Barbados Today) to be published sometime in 2010. It is also rumoured that Cow Williams is the principle shareholder in this publishing venture.Is such true and can this be confirmed.
BFP,
I support much of what you have said in the article above, However, truth be told the DLP has not entered into any pact/or given the BLP any undertaking that the GUILTY ones won’t be locked up.
Every corrupt BLP politician of the past 14 years knows that time has ran out for them any day now they will be brought to justice.
Once Sir David vacates the High Chair every Barbadian is going to see some pampalam through the Courts of Barbados.
Mia Mottley is quite aware of the implications of all this .
Love is saying that David Simmons as Chief Justice is blocking corruption charges against former BLP government members.
If true that would prove everything that BFP has been saying about the reason that PM Owen Arthur appointed Simmons.
The only thing wrong with Love’s pronouncements is that BFP is right that the DLP is not going to press charges against any BLP member.
