This rupture of the sewage outfall is strange and must be tested on a principle of truth, transparency and accountability as In June 2018 when on tour of the south coast sewage plant Mia Mottley indicated that her Foreign Minister was asked to approach the government of Canada for technical assistan...

The blogmaster does not see Harris beating Trump based on the current lay of the political land but there is time for that to change.

No Rastafari in 2024 should be charged for possession or cultivation without a constitutional challenge. Barbadian lawyers are not doing their work or maybe they are!

A lot has been written and commented about the escalating crime situation, however, the blogmaster remains unconvinced leaders in government and non government are confident the tepid, knee jerk approaches being introduced will be effective.

THE LEGALIZED VIOLENCE UPON WHICH POST-EMANCIPATION SOCIETY IS BUILT AND CONTINUES TO BE ADMINISTERED Post-emancipation society is built on a system of legalized violence that locks the masses in a cage of perpetual exploitation.

Some 4800 tonnes of sugar and over 8000 tonnes of molasses are available for consumption. This year just over 101,000 tonnes of cane were ground compare to 109,000 tonnes in 2023. These figures are well in line with our expectations for 2024.

https://barbadosunderground.net/2024/07/12/a-stab-at-violence-on-the-street/

Barbados' Prime Minister in the hopes of appeasing the people has come up with an initiative to create a special unit to deal with crime. That is a colossal waste of time. Is this unit expected to be everywhere all the time to stop people killing each other? Clearly the government is at a loss for a...

The Value Added Tax (VAT) is perhaps the most unfair and harmful tax ever conceived. It has been adjusted several times because of its unfairness, but it continues to be unfair and harmful.

Another matter of interest is the battle for the presidency between a septuagenarian and an octogenarian, Donald Trump is 78 years old and Joe Biden 81. Obviously Biden should be at home sitting on a recliner sipping cocoa and narrating his memoirs.

https://barbadosunderground.net/2024/07/08/flow-digicel-eyesore-spaghetti-network-an-eyesore/

A sub story coming of the damage caused by Hurricane Beryl that has gained little to zero traction is the messy, tangled, hanging wires from poles belonging to FLOW and DIGICEL. These two telcos unhesitatingly increase mobile rates always ignoring cries from consumers. The question has to be asked -...

https://barbadosunderground.net/2024/07/07/pension-headache/

The news that 39 occupational pension plans were wound up because of financial challenges by employers is a concern not just because Barbados is labelled an ageing population. A reminder: good planning for retirement, especially for middleclass citizens, depends on public and private pension income....

https://barbadosunderground.net/2024/07/06/government-losing-crime-fight/

The blogmaster is known to be an optimist BUT is feeling pessimistic regarding proposals made public by the prime minister yesterday. We need to get active as a country, the proposals signal more of the same which translates to the crime situation worsening.

There was an old lady who lived in a shoe with six hungry children and a light bill for the month so she didn't know what to do. She went to the bank for a loan, but they said no, "we can't lend to you."

Let those who have ears put arrogance aside, focus on the message and accept everyone knows everyone business in a country where somebody went to school with somebody, is a friend, family of a friend and that blood is thicker than water. Let’s, do everything possible to mitigate any contagion from...

24/06/2024

https://barbadosunderground.net/2024/06/24/flow-increases-go-unchallenged/

Something the blogmaster does not understand is why utilities/telcos are identified as entities to be regulated in order to "promote fair competition, protect consumer rights, and ensure the smooth functioning of the telecom sector" but oversight is applied to selective products offered, in this cas...

If you were in charge bout here, and you genuinely CARED about the best interests of brass, would you not, by now, have RECONSIDERED your whole APPROACH and sought a NEW and FRESH plan of action….? …given that EVERY SHIITE that you have tried so far have turned into shaving cream?

The 'wet season' and the adage learned at primary school “June, too soon; July, stand by; August, come they must; September, remember; October, all over". Thousands of gallons of rainwater will runoff into the sea followed by the government in office issuing a water prohibition because our reservo...

https://barbadosunderground.net/2024/06/16/many-hands-will-make-light-work-of-crime/

It is a no-brainer given the state of lawlessness in Barbados the situation demands an all hands make light work approach. While prevention is imported for sending a message that transgression of the law will not be tolerated, how can we achieve this with a judiciary and police service woefully unde...
