Politics as usual. Tourism is not and will never be the answer to our problems. Innovations and agriculture are more sustainable endeavors.
Hooray Jan Rapier for UWPWEEE Chairman!
/
“Enigmatic solution leader”?? listen, I never liked English, finding it at best troublesome for reasons like that. What the hell does that mean? Look, garcon I am a High School drop-out why are you confusing me like that.
“Inexorable support” from Richard and King? Now this is quite an enigma.
Rapier after reading this crap you just fabricated, I am convinced that this Paranoid Schizophrenic Claudius Francis has infected people all over the island, including from the other Party. Chastanet is a babbling imbecile encased in the leaf of the Ignorant tree; (think: penmi cornbread made of cornmeal, sugar, coconut, spices, milk, cooked in a banana leaf)
Chastanet is like a recurring nightmare that just won't stop; Chastanet has been soundly rejected by my people in Soufriere, and like a hungry cur will not take NO for an answer. When you said how much support your man has mustered, the thug Guy, and the bald ball-headed opportunist trans-gender Medusa came to mind, with her Zombie Sneer being sold as a smile. You could not have meant support as in the voters of Soufriere?
Rapier go to the Central Library and let Mr Joseph Ali give you a bath in some special herbs.
Has Allen found the foot yet. Yea the one he keeps putting in his mouth every time he opens it.
Rapier pulled it out. Angrily, you know de man have him foot in he mout again?
Is that Rapier individual a house nigger or what?
I have worked and lived 2 years in Nigeria and 11 years in St. Lucia. The Afro people are the racist, not the Caucasians. .Afro's blame their poor performance on everyone but themselves. Look at Haiti, the first independent country in the Caribbean. Jamaica!
Just name one African country with a widely prosperous population? Anyway St. Lucia is still one of the best in the Caribbean. Do not blame the Chastanets they are providing a lot of jobs on this island.
Another simpleton @6:06 AM. Why the hell did you not stay in Africa? And by the way, where the hell are you from, jackass? The issue here is not jobs, jackass. The issue is political representation. Get a better education so that you can think more clearly, confused dumb ass.
Is Jan Rapier Chas publicist? Is he/she trying to muster support for him? How can he be a leader when he can never get his facts straight. Sometimes I do not think he knows how to research and get facts before he opens his mouth. Anyway his foot is right there waiting.
Every village has its idiot. I believe that with this Rapier individual, one village is missing its idiot. He man! Get back to base quickly.
6:06/6:25
6:25 calling you a simpleton and Jackass was really nice of him - for real, what planet are you from dickhead? Afro ? who the hell calls Black people "Afro" in 2014 ? I thought Afro was a hairstyle - did you eat Lead Paint as a child? on Medication? Slow ? Retarded? Stupid ? watched too much Tarzan? or a real living embarrassment from the Ice Age ?
Did you say heel and mean butt?
With Allen Chastanet's bad record in the High Cout; he is just NOT GOOD FOR LEADER IN GOVERNMENT IN SAINT LUCIA.
Regardless of his good intentions after the fact.
In this nasty political climate; what this country needs is men and women with INTEGRITY to be in Government.
No to Chasnet and no more Kenny
Chasnet is no problem our nation has matured and moved on.No more Massa leadership. Kenny is the last, and he also has to go.
Although I dont think Chastanet is the solution, there can be no doubt that Kenny has failed.
For someone who holds himself out as a man of the law, he flagrantly acts like a medieval king disposing favours where he sees fit. St Lucia's debt is largely a result of his profligacy, spraying it up the wall like a drunken sailor with no idea of cost management, or what should be achieved with the money.
By any metric you use, st lucia is failing: debt, poor education, poor health outcomes, teenage pregnancy rate, slow (non-existent) access to justice.
The irony is that Kenny is rather good at saying the right things, which makes me think he does actually understand the issues but he is no good as a manager. He's had long enough, so he should go away now.
The utterly failed narcissistic SLP leader (Kenny Anthony) will be defeated handily at the next General Elections by Allan Chastanet.
We will finally be rid of the charlatan who presided over the two most destructive decades of our Independence and who accumulated billions in debt, created layers of animosity amongst our people and destroyed agriculture and our quality of life. Such a pity he will go unscathed and with no accountability for his incompetence and actions.
Unfortunately following a few years of faux growth and much hype the people will fall on Chastanet and the racism shown shown so far by key SLP supporters will become a raging epidemic as he is put to the sword (figuratively)!
Neither party has answers as the society as a whole is in thrall to the liberal/socialist agenda that has destroyed our black cultures from Chicago to Castries to Lagos.
Neither party has offered new ideas outside of the failed status quo.
We will continue to decline with more and more unemployment and closed businesses and a degraded society of vulgarity.
len Chastanet's bad record in the High Cout; he is just NOT GOOD FOR LEADER IN GOVERNMENT IN SAINT LUCIA.
Regardless of his good intentions after the fact.
In this nasty political climate; what this country needs is men and women with INTEGRITY to be in Government.

Thank you. Thank you. Every now and then, someone shows the native intelligence of pointing to the DOOMSDAY SCENARIO of the borbolist disease, and UTTER STUPIDITY OF PUTTING THAT FOX IN CHARGE OF THE HEN HOUSE ... after the white-collar crime of the TUXEDO AFFAIR.
A mature polity would NEVER AGAIN vote any member of the last UWP Cabinet back into office after the TUXEDO AFFAIR, and far less, the head of the ministry that allowed it to happen looking the other way.
Any cabinet minister that does not abstain or resign or speak out against such an outrage, deserves to be ostracized and banned from political office forever! Find you another job.
That was a conscious decision on the part of grown men who should have known better. Such action will NEVER ever be forgotten or forgiven by any right-thinking Saint Lucian ... irrespective of party affiliation.
John Compton is remarkably and an extremely poor judge of character.
He gave us and left us with a very large number of political albatrosses, miscreants, and political bandits just flatter his ego at age 80. Among them, a jailbird, a drug baron, a crown lands schemer, and a cabinet overflowing with political bandits who conceived and executed the TUXEDO AFFAIR.
As the chief cook and bottle-washer of this very sordid affair and disgusting stain on the political history of Saint Lucia, plus giving questionable testimony before the Appellate Court on the inquiry into this affair, Chastanet is therefore TOTALLY UNSUITABLE for any kind of political office in our struggling country. He should have no future in any type political office in Saint Lucia. No ifs, no buts, and no maybes.
@6:25 AM....Do you want some cheese with your whine? You are a lowlife with no scruples or ethics, reading and comprehension is cleary something you did not mastered. Sackway mal wat.
EXAMINATION: LEADER AND PARTY
==============================
My only interest in the UWP as one of the major pillars of our country's political infrastructure is that it be made relevant, and a credible alternative whenever the need arises for the electorate to exercise its options.
As I have said before it is politics that has brought us to where we are and it is politics that will deliver us from our current circumstances. Thus it is critical for our political institutions to be well constituted, and effectively managed. They must be a wellspring for ideas, and a crucible for future leaders, so as to play their role of shaping a brighter future for our country.
The party is going through a turbulent transformation having lost the leader that was considered its “beating heart”. I had predicted long ago that the concentration of power and responsibility in the hands of a few persons and a lack of a true democratic culture in that party would be problematic.
There was never a need for a succession plan because John Compton was the MAXIMUM LEADER in much the same way that Kenny is MAXIMUM LEADER of the SLP.
So when Stephenson King was thrusted into the leadership position to say he was ill prepared is an understatement. He lacked legitimacy - at least in the eyes of those in the party who thought they were more qualified, confidence, and the kind of gravitas that perspicacity offers.
Thus his weaknesses were exploited by a bunch of power hungry and opportunistic men. He had to be everything to everybody to maintain the position. Talk about a recipe for disaster.
His losing the leadership race to Chastanet was a reaction of how the majority of the delegates felt about his performance and of course Chastanet’s burning ambition to occupy the highest seat in the land.
It is becoming increasingly obvious that Chastanet has yet to stamp his authority on both the party machinery and the issues that confront us as a nation. Granted the disaffected section has not given him a chance and his reaction to their rebuff has worsened the situation.
Thus Chastanet has two options to nullify the threat or to acquiesce to their demands which are to vacate the position and reinstate their mild mannered blunderbuss. That is not likely to happen unless the same delegates decide at the next convention that he is not the great “high-yellow hope” they had envisaged.
Mr. Chastanet’s problem right now is hardly the petulant King and Frederick but the fact that he has not captured the public imagination nor has he convincingly articulated a vision for the country. Additionally, he has not seemingly quite connected to the ordinary Flambeau faithful as they perhaps unfairly compare him to the late Daddy Compton.
Most importantly he did not define himself in the political milieu and in so doing left a vacuum in that regard for his opponents to fashion their own not too flattering narrative.
I still maintain that a serious leader of the UWP must address the devastating blow of the Taiwanese Funds Scandal by way of a categorical repudiation of that kind of behavior, a mea culpa ala Kenny’s lapses and infelicities, and an assurance that such corruption will not feature under their leadership should they ever be entrusted with power again.
Look at my crosses. You see that SOB there at 6:06? He is fronting for the Chastanets so that any $#!# that SOB says it believes is gospel. What is more, is that it believes that Saint Lucians must continue to swallow that type of $#!# in stride. Hell no!
Write your praises for the Chastanets on parchment if you will. Fold that quite neatly in four creases. Roll it. Then shove it where the sun don't shine.
If you are too dumb, monied or do not understand that businesses remain, or thrive where they make money, jackass that is your problem. Today, businesses only give you a job if what you do for them is worth more than they pay you. Simple. If not, they flee to greener pastures perhaps like you from Africa. Businesses are not bleeding heart charitable organizations.
Now if you are just too dumb and lack the mental and information processing capacity to differentiate between job creation and political representation, then tough! Some us can see right through the likes of POS and bastards like you.
Get over it, jackass!
Unless and until; we St. Lucians take a bold stand to keep out of political office; those men and women whose track record demonstrated that they are DISHONEST; CORRUPT and/Or INCOMPETENT to add value to the standard of living of the MASSES of the people of this country; we as a nation and a people; will continue to get worst-and-worst off; till we begin to chew up each other; as a result of political desperation and dispondency.
People like Kenny Anthony; Phillip Pierre, Phillip La Corbiniere; Allen Chastanet; Peter Josie, Guy Joseph; Keith Mondesir, Ausbert D'Auvergne MUST NEVER BE PLACED IN GOVERNMENT EVER IN SAINT LUCIA.
I left out Richard Frederick for the time being; until I can see La Corbiniere provide the evidence he said that Customs and himself had; on Frederick.
Regardless of what one may say about Stephenson King; he is a man with compassion and empathy for the people of the country; and his not having a doctorate in law; yet he was overall a much better manager and leader in the country; because he never pretended to know everything about everything; but rather identified good advice and executed it for the betterment and value added to the people and the country.
I believe if Stephenson King got rid of rascals like Ausbert D'Auvergne, Allen Chastanet, Keith Mondesir, Guy Joseph in particular; the UWP would be a force to reckon with.
I left out Richard Frederick; again the matter involving him; customs i.e. Terrance Lennard and La Corbiniere must be brought to closure as they relate to the United States Embassy position with the revocation of the visa; so we in this country can analyze for ourselves and take our own decision regarding Richard Frederick.
8:28
These Fraudsters like the disillusioned Claudius Francis with the outrageous Fantasy Island episodes about Frederick sending Hitmen to assassinate him, and he Claudius had captured these Hitmen and they were being interrogated at Police HQ, speaks volumes of the insults these scumbags throw in the face of the Lucian.
Claudius Francis won an Oscar for best costume - walking around Castries with Bullet-proof jackets and SLP gave him a job as a parasite to suck the Lucian taxpayer's monies, while SLP wants to CUT the wages of the Lucian worker.
These scumbags have nothing on Frederick. In fact it is Richard who has taken legal action against these degenerates - Claudius Francis, where are the hitmem you captured??? you boldface liar!!
8:28
I maintain that the permission of this Labour Party to permit a boldface fraudster like Claudius Francis to live off the taxpayer is an insult to ALL Lucians.
While you wait for this other idiot La Corbiniere to take-on Frederick, you have a Paranoid Schizophrenic Claudius Francis who is willing to fabricate tales of fantastic lies to curry favour with this Labour party and not one of these politicians possess a grain of decency to demand the this Madman Claudius Francis on the Lucian payroll be fired - yesterday he Francis had a letter from Chastanet asking UWP Micoud South Arsene James to give up his elected position so Chastanet can get elected - do you people have any shame at all, allowing this madman to urinate on your heads and tell you it will end the drought!
rapier you living in a dream world.with dreams of the life of the 14th century
Kenny Anthony is his own acilies heel. The PM has failed as Minister of Finance,and should bow out. It is time for him to resign hand the reins to Philip Pierre,the country no longer respect or trust him.
Not in this life must Chasnet become Primeminister of this country.
....well Rapier, if you were feeling the water for demented sharks; you certainly found a school of 'JAWS'!!....
People like the person who lived in Nigeria and St. Lucia and still does not know how to describe Black people, proves how ill informed and lacking in the basics of education, some fools can so easily demonstrate. To blame the lack of progress of some black countries on its people again shows a lack of historical knowledge. The French imposed a hugh debt on Haiti for lost of their slaves when Haiti became an independent country. That debt is the main reason for Haiti being one of the poorest countries on earth. Moving on. If there is any one who does not believe that St. Lucians know Kenny has failed. They should check their pulse. The better days did come.....for Kenny's friends who were sent to London, Canada and Washington as diplomats. Better days did come for Claudius Francis the World's number one Wanna Be....some thing, any thing......Fool of the decade. He can now put on his CV, he was top shit of the Senate.
Economic power combine with political power is the recipe for a form of "economic slavery" We will all be living on the plantation designed for us by mad spending Allen Chas.
Given that the Country will reject Kenny at the next election. Yes even the SLP have conducted their polls. And that Cap Estate is not a Constituency in its own right, poor Char will not be elected, but his party could well win. Enter yet another Prime Minister, by default in the person of Gail Rigorous and Serious Person.
Prepare for massive inter party war, when Allen on the outside tries to dictate to the Prime Minister of the day. Watch this space.
Can some one who knows Rick explain why his paper uses the tag line, Bringing the Truth to Light ? This is so confusing, a so called investigative journalist, who has written 3 books on the politics of St.Lucia, will more often than not remove good comments, if he feels it will up set his inner circle. Why does he not encourage free speech. Does any one actually buy his paper ? Why is there not a constant editorial page in his paper.? Can you call the Star a news paper in the true sense of the word. Would the great journalist of the past the world over want to be associated with a paper like the star? Come on defenders of Rick, let me hear your views. The previous writer has a point. Lets start guessing where Chas will loose his deposit.
.....@7:28: surprise, surprise!.. the Star is a mouth piece, and like any other MPs they are completely self serving...wake-up!

How long did it take you to realize that this guy Leary Wayne is a sick narcissist. "When I sit naked on a Sunday to eat my breakfast", is how Wayne relates his stories; it's always "When I, I, Me, Me."
Just stop torturing yourself by not reading Wayne's rubbish. The guy is sick and only allows people who praise him, or impotent critics to express their views. Just don't read his masturbation.
