Oh you do not say?

The same person who viciously attacked VAT while in opposition is now going to adopt VAT at the first budget he presents !

Just like he called for "transparancy and accountability" yet did not call one meeting of the Public Accounts Committee when Leader of the Opposition.

The same person who appoints a special advisor and tells St. Lucians he is weighing options to decide on China or Taiwan -- when he already promised the Taiwanese he was staying with them - which we now know is happening !

Kenny and Tony.

There is nothing in this budget that you can beleive and the opposition will have to scrutinize every line item because this govt is taking St. Lucia to the cleaners wilth millions already spent on travel , per diems and "special" appointments.

In the meantime the economy has slowed, black sigatoga is wrecking the economy (in spite of Taiwanese promise to help which is being ignored by this Government), the hotels look to be empty for summer and the middle class is suffering.

Expect Kenny to add another 2,000 to the government payroll with VAT because that is all he knows in economics.

As a first time voter in the last election, i can’t believe i allowed peer pressure sway me into doing what i did. Right now i can’t live with myself. I really can’t believe i did this….

It is understandable why you voted against the incumbents in the last elections.


Unfortunately the party representing the ideals of Sir John had been hijacked by hoodlums.

The only path forward for St. Lucians is to find an honest, courageous, no nonsense Leader for the UWP, closed down this incompetent government led by a narcissist and let us move forward.

Jeff Stewart was on Hot Button issue with Timothy Poleon last week bragging about VAT which is to be introduced into Saint Lucia in due course. During his contribution, he was quick to say that he voted Labour this time and how since Sir John's death he stopped supporting UWP. He is a liar, he has always been a labour party supporter, disappearing when Labour is out and reappearing when Labour is in. Stephen King (Dr) was recently installed as an independent senator in the Senate of Saint Lucia. He has been speaking on a number of issues in the local media. I want to say categorically, that both Jeff Stewart and Stephen King have lost all credibility.

They are not worthy of any respect. They should be dismissed as clowns and opportunists. They want to hide behind their self-perceived independence when they very publicly aligned themselves to the Labour Party during the last elections. Jeff Stewart was on Labour platform wearing red! Stephen King publicly campaigned against the UWP, using propaganda of the worst kind against the strongest members of the UWP in order to confuse and confound Saint Lucians who supported the UWP. Shame on you Dr. Stephen King, we would have thought you knew better than to go down into the dirty gutters of Saint Lucia politics.

Now that your party is in power, what is your next move? Certainly neither you nor Jeff Stewart qualifies to give Saint Lucians independent advice on anything. You have aligned yourselves, so stay aligned. You guys stole the elections. Claudius Francis was inside the Electoral Department assisted by Carson Raggie manipulating the Voter's List, adding, deleting names and sending some voters on a wild name chase!

RETRIBUTION TIME IS HERE. ALL OF YOU, ONE BY ONE, WILL BE EXPOSED. WE WILL WATCH AS YOU PAY FOR YOUR SINS OF CONSPIRING AGAINST THE WISHES OF THE MAJORITY OF SAINT LUCIANS BY ASSISTING IN STEALING THE NOVEMBER 28TH GENERAL ELECTIONS.

When will the uwp accept defeat? St. Lucians voted you UWPees out because they suffered for too long. Rum, coke, t-shirts and chicken were not enough. If more St.Lucians were given a larger portion from your coffers of millions the outcome would probably have been different.

The SLP administration must be very careful in how they carve out the policies stipulated in their manifesto. Our qualified SLP soldiers suffered for too long in the wilderness of poverty and victimization. Kenny should simply ignore the two-faced, crying baby Stephenson King. Today he says one thing, and tomorrow he sings a different tune, which is indicative of a man who does not know his left from his right.

Hope King will use the time in Opposition to get a degree possibly a PhD since he envied and made fun of the one that Dr. Raymond worked hard for. Man get yourself an education so you will refrain from being tossed to and fro on your rocky UWP ship.

That's exactly what Stephenson King should do. For ten years he stayed in the wilderness without furthering his education. He was handed priministership on a silver platter. Now is the time for him to really go and educate himself, because he has lots of free time on his hand. He has to start from learning the alphabets first.

Stephenson King and Bruce Duane Tucker are traitors kissing up to Kenney Anthony.

Hope our Dear Opposition Leader, Stephenson King will never again repeat the mistake of making fun of individuals credentials and qualification especially that of Dr. Raymond.

Dr.Raymond is one that I have high regard for not because of his good looks but for his integrity, leadership and tenacity for quality work. I look forward for great beginnings and endings for this true man of the soil.

The SLP, indeed, is sufficiently positioned to address the problems and concerns of the electorate. Dr. Anthony definitely has the right group of men and women to assist him.

I am ashamed of St. Lucia’s Justice System. Our justice system is fake like those who operate it!

(1) The judges will invent law if they want you to win and ignore the law if they want you to lose;

(2)The court system dispenses justice depending on factors that have nothing to do with the case such as whether or not the judge likes the lawyer who will win or hates the one who will lose;

(3)Some lawyers invite judges to lunch and to play golf;

(4) A female judge was recently seen overseas in a compromising situation with a local male lawyer well known to be a patronize of every judge;

(5) A certain judges goes shopping with the wife of a local lawyer;

(6) Judges engage in gossip with lawyers;

(7)Certain lawyers don’t have to work hard; they waltz into the heads, stomachs or hearts of the weaker judges;

(8)Politics and justice in Saint Lucia are as fused as fused can be;

(9) A judge once declared openly that his best friend in St. Lucia was a particular lawyer; so how can his best friend not win every case before that judge?

(10)Judges are appointed regardless if they can do the job or not;

(11)There is a judge who is over 80 years old who falls asleep during every case and who becomes involved in every trial as if he is a litigant;

(12)Woe be unto St Lucia if it joins the CCJ. The CCJ is the meeting point of judges and politicians. It is like a club. It’s either you’re in or out. If you are out and find yourself before them, then woe be unto you.

(13)St. Lucian must fight against joining the CCJ club.

Like Jamaica, take it all the way to the UKPC but never ever sacrifice the only semblance of independence you will ever have in the justice system, that is the Privy Council.

If that is true, then we are doomed where justice is concerned. God please put a hand.
