A heartless incompetent government. After this government cannot provide one of the 8000 jobs they promised us and people are losing their jobs every day, they are preventing St Lucians from making an honest living. In two years all that will stop, because we will not have to pay a set of Guys for doing little work for the country.

You should ask the SLP for a job you know or is that it, maybe you're just an SLP prostitute. You're everywhere with your SLP, SLP, SLP...God, you're anoying.

This is an unfortunate situation but the goverment must be a goverment, and if they can give a valid reason why the vendor must be moved, then so be it. On e must not forget that the land does not belong to her. Very often we make discisions out of piety and emotions, not good logic.

Anonymous said...

You argue that the land does not belong to her. Ok. How about government giving her an opportunity to purchase the land? Why after years of leasing it to her to now want to sell it to foreign developers?

#2 where did you see #1 mentioned SLP in the contribution? People we are allowing politics to have us BLIND. We are so blind some of us cannot see that government has taken us backwards. We cannot even make a valid contribution on this board

Talking about jobs, you right SLP is the only government that will provide jobs for us, not this incompetent government, whose most of their members including the PM cannot find a decent job anywhere apart from getting elected on Compton name, because they are not academically qualified.

Here is another case again of people using CROWN LANDS and never looking forward to moving into a place of their own. For 2o years this lady has been using Crown Lands free of rent, and no one found it necessary to say that this was not right. All rental profits were going to her bank account, whilst others like her were having to pay rent for wherever they were located that was not Crown Lands. This is the first fault here, which she should have realized would one day catch up with her under some government who was doing their job poroperly.
I would also like to state that this demonstration sounds quite fishy to me when it is stated that both regional and local artistes will be performing. Who will be paying them, especially the regional ones?
Anything is being concorted now to make this government look bad, and this is just another one of these rigged up demonstrations. St. Lucians, especially those of you vendors who have to pay for the places you conduct your business, I hope you check this out properly.
Another set of vendors who we may hear from sooner or later, are those on the Vigie Beach opposite the Sir. Geroge Charles airport. Just wait and see. Some people just think that life could be a complete freeness.

Who told the woman that she should vacate the land? Is it Richard Frederick or the entire government?

I hope this situation is handle amicably. This could be a break or make for the UWP government if this issues snowballs. If this thing gets out of hand and people buy into this perception that the government is moving against poor people, this could be bad news for them.

Those who want to see the government's downfall would like nothing more than to see them take a hardball position on this issue and evict that lady.

I pray that in the interest of peace wisdom prevails.

Good contribution, sounds good to the ears, but there are some things i need to correction you on. First you said you said that government is doing their work properly, most people will not agree with you. What has this government done properly for it three years, how many scandals have they had? I think they are famous in doing SCANDALS PROPERLY. Foreigners would come here and the government would give them all type of incentives, tax free etc, but according to you local should get nothing. The other thing you said that was wrong is about rent and crown lands. I will tell you people have the right to make a living in their country especially when the government cannot provide jobs for them. Instead of evicting people with no where to make a living, the government should provide an alternative to the people, because it is the duty of government to take care of its people, that is what we are paying them for. Is seem you have a job , so you are now targeting vendors at Vigie, because you do not care how these people feed their children. You see how selfish you are.

Finally, some of you are begining to make sense. There is hope for St Lucia after all.

Freeness! Freeness! Freeness! This has become the pathetic makeup of the Saint Lucian mentality. Of course the Prudents (the chinese lackeys cum slp stooges cum anti -developmentalists) are thriving on this freeness mentality. They are nothing more nor less than a bunch of destructionists. They need to give Saint Lucia a break! Upon reflection perhaps they are too naive to understand or too bent on wickedness to care about Saint Lucia!

You afraid al ready , you asking who is paying for the artist, do not worry we are prepared and organised, to move against this incompetent government. We need something better in St Lucia.

Anonymous said...

I don't know what is your problem??? Why didn't you'll have a problem with Prudent when he was singing the praises of Flambeau all those years. You have to remember that he was you'll own. As a matter of fact he belong to you'll body and soul. What happened here???? You'll can't toy with this brains any more??? You angry??? Poor jab.

We don't ask you'll how much the Taiwanse give you'll. Why bother about how the people will pay for their rally.

Crown lands cannot be sold.

If it can't be sold why is it being given to foreigners for development?

It shouldn't be.

All what this government is doing is good for de people. They wanted to move back to the days of Yes Man, now day have it, wat day crying for. Is we who wanted that same whip pon we backs, we say com back papa, save we from our prosperity and our independence. Take us back to the dark ole days, when you slept wit our daughters and give we a ticket to go Ingland. Wen you take way we land for a passage on de boat to the mother land. Papa we want you back, because since you lef de politics St. Lucia have virgins again. So you got your papa and you don't have the land - that's flambeau democracy and I like it.

Why does it have to always be a fight between UWP and SLP? This poor women is fighting for the right to feed her family and all we can come up with is UWP and SLP?

Anonymous said...

It have to be a fight between the SLP and uwp because SLP was doing so well in the country, the uwp made a lot of noise, saying they will do better. People forgot the way they use to government the country and elected them. They go back into their old habits by continuing to victimizing St Lucians in favour of foreigners. This government is even worse than it use to be in the past, ex convict in their mist, ministers continue to break the law etc, etc. We are paying them, with none of them is able to implement any policy, they cannot even table a proper motion in the house of assembly. How can a government, who say they are for the people, when they want to evict it poor citizens who is making an honest living and they do not care to find an alternative for then. In a country where it is so easy to sell drugs, which destroy our youth. The government should be heartened and encourage people who decide to work, invest and make an honest living, especially when they are incompetent as they are, and cannot provide employment for the people.

Your propaganda is getting a bit stale.

Instead of talking none sense about people contributions, make a valuable one yourself.

My contribution is, you need to get a bloody life.

You have so much a life, what are you doing on the board, you should be in a 5 star hotel relaxing, where you are being waited upon, and leave the board for people like me who do not have a life.

Dude,

I support labour, but I must tell you that people like you are a turn off.

You are simply too fanatical for the me.

Perhaps it's time to heed the warning of the poster and get a check up on reality.

Anonymous said...

Dude , you support labour, good for you. Well i love my country, i do not support any political party per say, i just want the best we have to be serving us. After all we are the ones paying our leaders and we need them to be working in our interest. We all know that this present government is far from the best we will ever have. All we St Lucians can do, is to discuss what is going on in our country. I find it sounding strange, that a St Lucian like me, who has nothing to say because he or she is in agreement with what is going on in the country. All they would say "GET A LIFE" as if you have no right to discuss what is going on in the country, because we love to be paying ministers for doing no work. Some people might say we are wasting our time, in highlighting our complains, but that is far from the truth, because who you think who will not read this, are reading it. Someday it will fall on fertile ground.

There is logic, there is sense, there is sanity and insanity. Careful that the fertile groud that you are looking for those not land you at golden hope.

If you sincerely feel so passionate about your government working to its capacity, why not go come out in the open where you can impact or meet more people?

Why throw your seeds on infertile soil where the people who need to hear it and make an informed decision as to whether you are insane or sane can't read or hear it?

Anonymous said...

You right, i agree with you 100%, when this government finish with us St Lucians, we all will be insane and end up at golden hope, because that dirty place is what your uwp government left for us after 30 years in office. SLP provide us with a brand new state of the art mental hospital. Everything was becoming brand new with the SLP, new highways, two new stadia, new prison, new police stations, new fire stations, new schools, new garbage dump, new forensic lab, new car park, new office blocks etc,etc. That is the fertile soil i am talking about. I find you be very rude to tell me where to articulate my views, Why don't you go in the open, because you can only control yourself, not me.

The new mental hospital was built for the likes of you. You should be very proud that you will be one of the first residents there. That was the best thing the SLP did, kind of like Chicken Little you know, the sky is falling.

Anonymous said...

Yes the mental hospital was built by persons like me because we love St lucia very much, and we want to cleanup the nastiness left by the the uwp. Have you ever been to golden hope to see what that passes for a hospital, that is not fit for animals much less humane being. We must stop talking none sense about who the hospital was built for because mental is a disease, people do not buy the illness and nobody know when they will get sick. Nobody including YOU is immune from getting mentality ill. I listed so many good things the SLP did but you chose to highlight only the mental hospital, saying that is the best thing SLP did as if mental illness is a curse. We must stop our political bias when it comes to the health of the nation.

Man you once sick puppy!

Yes i am sick, because i want a government that will work in St lucia, as the SLP had done at lease. Many other St Lucians are also sick of the present government, because we are paying them our tax dollars, and they do very little work , only creating scandals afters scandals.

This guy does not have a life. Why do you people worry about him. I bet you he is somewhere in the states in some apartment with nothing do . He does not have a JOB and perhaps using some child's computer to help him pass his days up in yankee town. He really believes that he is doing the SLP a favour by writing junk all over the place. let the man write his junk he is entitlled to his opinions. He wants to play the same song like worn out record allow to the man to do his thing. He may soon get up one day and realise that he needs to go out there and try and find a real job.

Both SLP and UWP are doing a deservice to this woman. Cut out the crap and deal with the issue at hand.

You see how stupid some of us St Lucia are. We have a forum where we could discuss events happening in the country of our birth and some people because of cheap political reasons, instead of making a valuable contribution would attack those they do agree with, calling them all kinds name, read through their contributions and point out mistakes, as if they themselves write perfect english. We all make mistakes in writing the english language, sometimes in grammer, spelling or punctuation. There is even mistakes found in books that goes through so much screening, so who am i not to make mistakes, sometimes i am listening to another programmes and doing other things while i am typing, so i make mistakes. That is why we St Lucians cannot unite and organise our selves, you would see people from others countries well arganised. Eg. see them on labour day in New York, all other countries in pretty costumes, even the Haitians. When you look for St Lucians they way in the back in T Shirts. Because all they do is to pull another down eg. "who is mate, who he think he is, i making more money than mate, mate was poor in St Lucia, i have more education than mate and now he want to be our leader etc, etc." Please Lucians let us discuss what is happening in our country, and forget each other.
