Anonymous said...: Sorry this will not be any great elections. Yes there will be a lot of thunder and lightening but in the end it is "six of one, and half dozen of the other"

What differences will it make changing Stephenson for Kenny ?

Philosophy -no different. Both lost in space.

Crime -SLP failed abysmally at this.
Job creation -another failure.

Debt - Kenny cost us $100 million a year and increased debt by almost $1 billion.

Agriculture -fell precipiteously under Kenny.

You could go on and on.

What could Kenny do that is different?
He will come in and say he has to "prime pump" the economy and borrow &500 million in two years and give it to the boyz !St. Lucians will have to pay it back not Kenny when he is gone.What a joke. For 8 years he was a failure and you could expect another 8 years of mamaguyism if he gets elected.; January 22, 2011 at 11:32 AM
Anonymous said...: What cheap politics. Who wrote this the ignoramus Earl bousquet ?

Mentioning Kenny's name with Mara because she won an overwhelming victory. Victory by association.

Mara is the daughter of HENRY GIRAUDY - the former CHAIRMAN of the UNITED WORKERS PARTY !

The colour of the party Mara belongs to is YELLOW.

Stop trying to associate Kenny and the SLP with what has nothing to do with them !

How cheap and classless !; January 22, 2011 at 11:35 AM
Anonymous said...: What a stretch! Mara won her seat. In a two-horse race the loser was so far behind, that he might lose his deposit. Someone said that the BLP in Barbados put a useless candidate.

With Mara, people came in a bus to ask her to run. Kenny and the SLP changed the rules to make Kenny eligible to run.

Kenny like Mara might win the constituency. Will he win the next government? UWP is trying to make some projects to bear fruit so that it can call elections. Even if SLP wins the next elections, do you think that the people will place a crown on his head?

Jokers wild. People laughing.; January 22, 2011 at 12:06 PM

I suppose denial does that to us poor things!!! Anonymous 2 you do not deserve a response because I realise you are colour blind and so shallow. You need to return to Primary School and then move on from there ish mwen.; January 22, 2011 at 2:39 PM
Anonymous said...: #1 Stop being bias, there is a lot of differences between Kenny and King. Kenny developed the country by leaps and bonds. Show us the development created by King. Crime was increasing in Kenny era but he did many things to try to curb the situation. Tell us what has King done? If you look around the island you will see what most of the debt was used for. Please show us anywhere in St Lucia what has King done with his debt? There was much more people employed during Kenny turn especially in the construction, in those days you could not find a bag of cement in St Lucia, as soon as a shipment come it was sold out . Is there much employment going on in St Lucia today? Only a mad person will compare a dummy like King to Kenny.; January 22, 2011 at 6:47 PM

Anonymous said...: I love a dummy who provided a school place both primary and secondary for each and everyone of our children, so that we ALL could get an education in St Lucia. Not only the rich, and the poor was being rationed for an education as in the days of Compton. I love a dummy who provided better Hospitals for our sick to get treated, not the Pig pens left by Compton. I love the dummy who provided us with two of the best highways in St Lucia, one in the North and one in the South. I love that dummy who provided us with two international Stadia, a mini Stadium and the upgrading of many other playing fielding, not the Mindo Phillip park left by Compton. I love that dummy who provided us with so many hotels to provide employment for us. I love that dummy who built two office blocks to give our civil servants more space to work. I love that dummy who gave us duty free barrels at Christmas time. I love that dummy who provided us with a Forensic Lab to solve our crime. I love the dummy who provided us with better Prison, Fire stations and Police Stations for our people to work in, instead of the Pig Pens Compton left us. I love the dummy who build us new Health Centers and renovate many others. I could on and on. Please tell us what your Dummy King has done in 4 years, apart from scandals after scandals, lies, false promises and blaming every body for his incompetence.; January 23, 2011 at 6:40 PM
Anonymous said...: I am still looking for a better dummy that would educate the school children in the schools such that they have the technical knowledge and skills that they don't have to resort to drug trafficking to make a living after leaving school.

School places like the man called 'Fairty' because of his proud boast that he had built 30 schools. Look at the result. That idiot and Leton Thomas did not lay a foundation on which Kenny could really build on, if Kenny had the acumen to see beyond merely providing 'free' education.

Chuuupppse! 'Free education' my big toe!; January 23, 2011 at 7:52 PM
Anonymous said...: So these days papa the flambeaus so disoriented; they can feel the wind of change so their latest phrase on the block is to equate Kenny to King!!! and to say mem bett mem pwel!!! Well the writing is on the wall as the pollsters must have conveyed to the flambeaus; 2011 is LABOUR TIME!!!!!; January 24, 2011 at 7:56 AM
Anonymous said...: Let us not mislead the public, I do not know where you got your information from, because Allan Bousquet NEVER built 30 schools in St Lucia. Check your facts, most of the Schools in St Lucia in the UWP days were built by the Catholic Church. You mean a right thinking St Lucia can utter these words "Free education my big toe" Education is the best investment any government could carry out for the people of any country.; January 24, 2011 at 9:59 AM

Kenny did so much for us but some of us are ungrateful and color blind. I was color blind,but ungrateful I cannot be.

A family member was mentally ill and whenever I visited that PIG PEN, they housed the mentally ill, the tears couldn't stop flowing. I admire Kenny because he had the vision to see the need of the masses.; January 24, 2011 at 1:16 PM

Anonymous said...: - State of the Art Mental Hospital
- Magnificent Cricket Ground
- Spectacular Stadium
- Motorable Highways with lane dividers and well needs signs
- Started 4 star hotel and golf course east coast (Pralin) UWP administration stop it and sent the contractors and investers packing
- multiple secondary schools.
- Submedical facilities
- Tourism stats was at its finest under PIP.
****up until today the incompetent Rodents in office cannot renovate and bring back St.Judes Hospital. This is depriving the nation from hosting regional events at the lone stadium which facilitates alot of the patients down south**** What a #$#% shame and some of you have the audacity and guts to say this man did not perform during his stint as PM. Just to be fair name at least two projects that the King administration was has SUCCESSFULLY undertaken. Any way its sad that you cannt educate some of you casue most of you conceived illiterate. Most of you are more interetsed in the long campaigne for the rum, fried dough, chicken and pork on the grill, cause it a big party and which ever political party throws the best jam session that will determine your vote. Good luck Lucians. But i got to say one thing to the UWP supporter, "what you dont like seeing on your porch thats what you intend to see in your bedroom" Thanks DR. Anthony!!!; January 24, 2011 at 1:55 PM
Anonymous said...: I just cannot understand, as you said how some people are ungrateful. These people do not like St Lucia or the people of St Lucia. They had prefer St Lucia to stay as backward as Compton left it. All Compton did was to fool us just to win elections. Now we have a government who is doing nothing but scandals after scandals, and some people have the heart to compare King to Kenny. Frederick lay down some backward ancient concrete courts in the garden, just for political reasons, just to make people believe they are working. When Kenny made us international by providing us with indoor sports facilities. St Lucia would have been the most backward country in the caribbean, if the SLP was not in government for 9 years.; January 24, 2011 at 2:19 PM
Anonymous said...: Under Compton the growth rate in St. Lucia was at 10+% for over two decades.

Under Kenny and Co the growth rate was less than 2% annually.

Under Compton the growth rate of St. Lucia exceeded that of the other Caribbean islands on numerous occasions.
Under Kenny we UNDERPERFORMED compared to the OECS and other Caribbean islands year after year. When the best growth in the OECS EXCEEDED 10% St. Lucia under Phillip, Mario, Phillip, Dr Francois, Menissa, Felix - grew by 1% or less.

All of this while Kenny borrowed aand frittered away over $1 billion . i.e. $1,000,000,000.

Under Kenny Agriculture fell by over 30% and this was not even for bananas. Yet Kenny's agricultural policy year after year was "Agricultural diversification"
All other exports plus bananas declined. What a clown.

The cricket grounds - used once every 50 weeks. A big white elephant.

Stadium. Should have been built up north so as to uilized efficiently. Built in Vieux Fort to satisfy Kenny's ego and political ambitions and the ideas of his failed intellectual advisors.
Result: A widely underutilized facility.

Stupidity after mismanagement after incompetence and you all still support that so called leader.

You all may complain about the UWP but to lie and twist the facts of Kenny's and the SLP's failures is really pathetic.; January 24, 2011 at 4:11 PM
Anonymous said...: Who is that mad person who is trying to fool us with his rubbish. The days UWP us to fool us with their 10% growth is long gone. Kenny has provided everyone of us with a secondary education, so now we could think for ourself. Your UWP is, or was so good with growth rate, what happen happen to the growth rate TODAY? you pathetic! I want you to name one OECS or caribbean country that was developing faster than St Lucia when Kenny was in office. Try to fool us, name one. You want to make us believe that it was Kenny who had the banana industry in decline. So i suppose kenny was also in the other Windward Islands because it declined there also.
You are just showing us how foolish and misinformed you are, but we know better, the cricket ground was not built for cricket alone. There is an international indoor facility there, table tennis, netball, basket ball, volley ball is also played there, there were a few regional competition last year. Try something else you might fool us.
You right the Stadium is under utilize because your incompetent government is using it as a HOSPITAL.
You spoke about Kenny failures, please tell us of some of the successes of your present UWP government.; January 24, 2011 at 5:40 PM
Anonymous said...: You must be joking! What is the value of free education if the outcome is to have so many boys on the block?

Kenny himself betrayed his opportunistic behavior when recently in an interview he boastfully declared that he had placed education on the back burner with law as his love and passion.

If that is his greatest accomplishment for education then he, like you, does not understand how just going to school like a holding pen does not make for an educated person. If you are one of the beneficiaries of his grand education initiative and can make such uncritical statements about education,then I rest my case. You have bought ice and you are going around frying it.; January 24, 2011 at 7:20 PM
Anonymous said...: Did you really read that nonsense you wrote about "value of free education" and Kenny put education on a back burner, not even a fool know what you mean by that. How did Kenny put education on the back burner when he reached the highest level of education one could get. He was professor. You speak like on insane person. I believe you was a resident at your Compton Golden Hope hotel, the new mental hospital is to good for you. You make no sense at all. Answer some of the questions, i ask you above.; January 24, 2011 at 7:53 PM

As to the debt the jury is still out on the most effecient economic module.Sorry people but it has to be Kenny hands down. Another four years of King and we will end up like Hati.; January 25, 2011 at 2:13 AM

Anonymous said...: My fellow st lucians, It's not about uwpees and labour,It's about the future of our beloved fair helen and where do we want fair helen to go five to ten years from now which party has the best leader who has the education, the knowledge,the experience,
With mass technology and communication who will best articulate a message not just for st lucian but the wider caribbean and the world.

Please let us not be so ignorant to the fact that we can be bamboosoa into making believe something thats not there and hasn't been there.
Look at the present goverment and their record the last four years.
Promises made and promises broken,what has they achieve to make life better for all st lucians.
Has the country been better or worse Each one must ask themselves these question and stop pallying around with the notion about this person or that.
The future of our country is at stake around the caribbean and the world.
Stop this party politics and do what is right for our beloved fair helen
Are you better off than you were four years ago. How has the country fair under this present goverment.

Look at mr king and his present cabinet of ministers,what have they done to make life better for all not for a select few.If we can answer these question then definitely we will be able to make wise choice and do what is right for us and fair helen.

Coming from a concern citizen on the future of my beloved island.
Let us pause and put on our thinking cap.; January 25, 2011 at 6:50 AM
Anonymous said...: Ok then show me the tangible growth then since your statistics are so well put. Exposed some of the major and valuable infurstructure he successfully errected. I do not want to see or hear no damn stats. I am an Econimist/Finance and you cannot tell me about statistics in regards to St. Lucias economic growth. Your are one of those folks that the UWP/Compton urinated on causing your chronic retardation. You must be a fool!; January 25, 2011 at 7:05 AM

Anonymous said...: What do you mean the national Stadium should have been built up north to utilize efficiently, what you trying to say the population in the south do not deserve to have a facility of such grandeau? The Vieuxfort Comprehensive Secondary school has been the most successful school in national track and field competition and what we had in the 80s and 90s to train was the old playing field accross the school. we creat the lanes with old motor oil and remove all the the cown shyte the wknd before out interhouse meet. Vfort has a great soccer and cricket team and we sure appreciate this facility. Every secondary and primary school from Micoud to Choiseul utilize this facility for track and field events and yes this facility was host to some regional events not to long ago and becasue of the destruction of the hosital that same year we were to host a regional sport event again but it was moved to another caribbean island. And as i said earlier in my blog the only reason its not being utilize is because it currently housed our patients. St. Judes had no other options its either the Secondary school or the stadium. Both the secondary school and the stadium are of great significance to us so it was a tough choice to make. Since ur governemt failed to revonate/restore the hospital we had to do whats best for our patients. we settled with the stadium becasue we could not afford to hault the operation of the sole secondary school. You must be under a rock some where and pls dont tell me you are in a metropolitan city in north America or Europe cause you really sound dotish. And if you are, do youself a favour while you are there consider pursuing some level of education and stop pretending to be intelligent. See i could have sent you an invite at my expense to my destination to talk quality politics but you fell miserably short of the criteria. Sorry not my calibre. May be in the next 10-15 yrs.; January 25, 2011 at 8:05 AM

Anonymous said...: Being King of Labour don't mean that you will ever again be King of St Lucia. It's one thing for Labour to crown you but another thing for the country to accept their King.

Caricom National said...: I visit the Caribbean islands in the days of Compton and Saint Lucia was amongst the most undeveloped.Today, Saint Lucia is one of the most developed islands. As a West Indian I will never understand why they replaced him for an elderly man who served before and did not develop their country.; January 28, 2011 at 7:31 PM
Anonymous said...: Caricom National, if you live amonst St Lucians you will understand why. Most St Lucians do not like St lucians like themselves to prosper, you would work with them, they would see you as a very worker, whiles their is not being done. What they will do behind your back, unknown to you, is to befriend the boss and carry all kind of bad words about you to him or her. Then you will see them being promoted, this is one of the reasons why the government service is so slack and unproductive. Some St Lucians do not care who is the hardest worker or who will develop the country most, all they care about is, who is their friend or who they will get a few benefits from personality. Some do not even care, who could work for the benefit of the country. All they care about is, they do not like certain people. We all could see the nonsense they write on this blog. "the man belly big," "the man is an idiot" etc, etc. Somebody tell me i am not speaking the truth.; January 29, 2011 at 7:38 AM
