Peter Josie; I hold absolutely no brief for none of those political parties. Much of what you said; I agree with. But I believe, notwithstanding that you have been for decades, in the trenches and rough-necks of politics; you are not I believe speaking the truth to yourself in believing that Allen Chastanet would be a good Prime Minister for the country.
Chastanet was Minister for Tourism for five years. What Hotel or other Projects did he influence into this country?
His decisions were made on no sound reasoning. He saw money in Tourism Ministry. And he felt that he felt that he just had a right to spend it at will. With no realizable return by foresight or hindsight.
Chastanet is far removed from the realities of hard work and everyday living. So if his father gives you favors from time to time; don't come trying to pull wool over people's eyes. In Cabinet He was strongly in support of buying the old derelict Daher Building at Marisule.
Chastanet was so insipid in his level of dishonesty; he even tried fooling the OECS Judges in the Court of Appeal during the Keith Mondesir, Tuxedo Affair case hearing.
Truth be told; yes indded, I agree the carnival-styled arrest of Richard Frederick was very much political vindictiveness by dirty old man John Compton, assisted by Kenny, Phillip Lacorbiniere and their henchman Terrance Leonard.
The WikiLeaks fax messages were very clear Terrance, the former Comptroller of Customs is a political prostitute; for want of a better word. He was used to do this dishonorable dirty job. Why has the so-called evidence which the Labour Party had according to them when they were in opposition; why is it they are up to now not able to expose the evidence and bring Frederick to the Courts? Strange indeed. But soon it will all come out in the was.
But soon it will all come out in the wash.
More "roro",Josie must be on the platform!
Josie, had both power and influence at one time. So his missives of outdated punditry revolting to those who can see through the deception of the political dinosaurs that he speaks for and speaks to most of the times.
Why the frigging hell when you had the power you did not put the required measures in place first to begin with? To hell with your post-mortems!
The man writes what clearly is little more unadulterated bullshit most of the time.
There is some degree of truth to Josie's musings. We must never forget the past as oftentimes it informs the future.
However, his admiration of the former Tourism Minister is where he crosses from the realm of reality into fantasy. Is he blind to the plagiarised rebrand fiasco and those exorbitant phone bills?
To go as far as to suggest that the PM may be fearful of the former Tourism Minister is a bit off the mark. His dad, maybe. But not him, per se. He who controls the food, inadvertently controls the people--their levels of anger and frustration too.
I shudder at the possible reality of another spendthrift in control of the Treasury. The last Minister of Tourism has absolutely no returns on this tourism investments, one can dare call them so.
The Minister of Communications and Works even with cost overruns under the SLP with respect to the road construction, was clearly the most effective minister in the last 15 years!
No one gives him credit.
However, you can both see and use the results. Chastenet poured forth hot air. His results were just that. Hot air. Who wants more of that?
Have you ever considered that most of our past and present ministers are unemployable?
They would not find work in any other country or in any other field.
And that is if you consider that the business of fooling the misinformed, the uninformed, the uneducated, the mis-educated and the under-educated makes you honourable.
Josie,
Your Spider eh going anywhere any time soon. He is finish-
He can't win in the courts and won't win at polls.
It's no longer about Spider. It's about the people.
Stop wasting your time.
The entire membership of the last cabinet that ended the last UWP run is NOT, I repeat, NOT worthy of a single vote and far less leadership of any political party in this country!
Are these not the same people who the Court of the OECS found using legal means to give irregular tax breaks to a fellow cabinet member?
Can you find one person in the entire UWP that one can trust?
josie pay jell kar cow.
That one is in the back pocket of the party of idiots, for idiots and by idiots.
One's effectiveness as a minister should not always manifest in material or tangible terms--i.e. roads and buildings. For instance, "I built this highway, therefore I have something to show for the attendant cost-overruns." It's a disingenuous argument that simple-minded politicians should resist making.
Effectiveness is proven in efficiency, innovation, leadership, management prowess, credibility and rewards (whether direct or indirect) to the general population. Stop perpetuating idiocy.
Blogger at May 06, at 1.53PM you are correct.
Why do some people have a problem, when others express their own views that are different to theirs?
I really could not give a rat's arse.
Josie talk about our political scum instead. They screw up the place and hope to live in the lap of luxury with their loot from the treasury in other OECS countries. You would sound more believable.
5:16 pm, you must do some thinking before you write. Frederick is not you and me, he is a very powerful politican and Lawyer. He will never sit idly by and allow himself to be arrested where his repretation and his career is at stake. We all know that is how things happen in Lucia, we start with alot of noise, when something happen in society especially to a big figure. Then all of a sudden web would hear nothing about it again.
Some people are well aware of the links between the international drug trade and Saint Lucian politics. The country is a banana republic. Now we are in ALBA.
Sir Arthur Lewis was right when he asserted that the fundamental cure for poverty is education - or even access to information. Sadly, the passage of time has taught that perhaps the greatest socioeconomic equalizer has been drugs. Social mobility is no longer based on merit and honest work. The scourge of drugs has turned both the struggling poor (and ignorant) and the already wealthy (and greedy) into common criminals and addicts.
Long as you got your suit and tie ...

Even 60 year old plus grandmothers have lost the cultural values of this age group in the population. They have joined the bandwagon on their way to wealth.
If the politicians can manage the drug industry and become millionaires, why not they?
That is why you don't need to have any type education to be leader of a party or to become elected in Saint Lucia.
All you need are a lot of uneducated poor and ignorant people like those on Grass Street, La Clery, New Village, and in the Graveyard and you have it made.
Low-lifes in a suit, even they are real scum, Saint Lucians by their votes say such slime-balls and scumbags are 'the boss'.
And some even expect investors with legitimate businesses will come to Saint Lucia to create jobs with foreign direct investment for people who are so damn ignorant that their greatest skill is that they can sell and live on drugs?
UWP is now looking to find The Most High Lord of the Scum.
Issuing parking tickets to members of opposition parliamentarians was another calculated plan to cause some embarrassment, and the Press Secretary's statement was a bigger joke. As an Observers I have long ago pointed to this strategy. The operatives act on a plan and instruction then turn around and denied that politics is the motive or involved. Politics of wickedness, that's all!
We seem to have arrived at a place in modern political times when the people ask for a fish and receives a snake. Peoples all over the world have now become desensitized by the election of one devil for another. Every contender for the leadership of the people cries his wares - vote for me/us and there wiill be peace on earth. And the people, thirsting for relief from wickedness in high places, believe it and vote for change. They awake on the morrow to be faced by more discrimination, more violence and more dissemblage from the man, who, yesterday promised them life everlasting. And they retreat in fear and distrust, understanding well that, now, every politician looks to his own corner for his own gain. And the monster of bi-partisanship continues to make its bloody sorties among the people. Nationalism is shredded into strips of en-rouge or en jaune, and brother destroys brother just because of politics.
Somewhere, somehow we must find the courage to rise above this fatalistic culture in which the world has become embroiled. Somewhere, somehow, someone must find the courage to stand up in these global winds of deceit and spite, hubris and greed , and plead for the betterment of the human condition; one must plead for the return of humility, and altruism in the governance of the people. If not, we will be slapped back and forth by generations of politicians trained to glorify ignorance confusion.
When the two houses of the people meet in parliament, is it possible to place a huge map of St.Lucia with all its people, in the center of this auspicious hall so each representative can be reminded of the objective of the meeting? - To serve and work for the improvement of the people and the island of St.Lucia; for together we progress but divided we become the butt of every cruel joke about a failed state.
Remove your eye patch @ 5:25 AM, bias tends to narrow the focus. No one knows what they know.
What if the patch were removed? Wouldn't that person be able to see more scum bags coming into view and all at once?
Some of those party-shits, if they do not think like someone else; the have a problem; and seek to insult, denigrate and simply act stinking.
Don't they know that we all have a right to our personal views and opinions?
Only the Party Hacks carry on so stupid; whilst the politicians are all good friends; covering up for each other with bogus Commissions of Inquiry that lead to where.
Bunch of egg-heads.
Is there any Politician in St. Lucia who could not be described as a Scum-Bag?
In my view, not one. They are all scumbags.
Not even the school children have any respect for them. They go so low; in their actions.
Car-Car-Chien plis hoe par say, say neg sar lar.
pay jole ou sarkwee eknowen
The Ali Baba cabinet and UWP cabal has left a very sour note on the minds of Saint Lucians. Labour although not so openly so underhand and not so fissured and fractured has its own set of failures and is not doing too much better either.
The Harder they come, the harder they fall. Mark my words Richard Frederick will be the next PM of St. Lucia.
If when he moving the jaws of this puppet Castries was a stinking city, now he will not have to do anything to get their votes, I wonder whether tourists will have to wear gas masks when they visit the island.
