Political Espionage

I share and welcome the historical perspectives. It is instructive from a purely historical perspective that the commission agents and agencies, with roots around the Willam Peters Boulevard that we call businesspeople in Saint Lucia, have NEVER showed significant organic growth as business units -- save perhaps what remains of the old Cox and Co.

In fact, they have declined in size and scope becoming the targets of M&As becoming acquired companies. Others can see higher returns from the acquisition of their nonperforming assets.

One recalls too, the disaster of the take-over of M&C by the Booker Group from England.

The business acumen of the so-called business elite does not extend too far beyond borbol or far from the 'market stall' business model.

Perhaps, there may be even very compelling logic in some quarters which suggests that a certain frustrated political aspirant, unemployed and perhaps quite unemployable, a regional body not considering most recent failed airline marketing experience as a suitable organizational fit, even for a largely ceremonial job, is looking for an automatic pension.

Just like the candidates for STEP, the primary objective on the resume or CV suggests the search for a political job on Easy Street.

The D-EVIL finds work for idle hands they say. Therefore, the Soufriere bridge incident may just be a precursor and a significant indicator of things to come.

Marketers unashamedly know something about bad publicity. To them, it is still very good publicity and involves little financial outlay.

You get your name to remain in the news media. You cannot be ignored. This is so, even if to get the coverage, one has to foment a public nuisance and some trouble.

What a bumbling fool is this Pat Brown. Cobbling together disjointed snippets of information without any cohesion.

The fools who support his gibberish are the type of intellectually deficient who themselves turn giddy from just reading anything they did not know before and judging it important even when put together so badly.
Poor jabs!

Oh Pat BROWN,
Are you jealous of persons who seem to have made good use of the opportunities they managed to get and you wasted yours.What a pity.Now you resort to storytelling.If you really believe your pronouncements are grounded in facts,publish them in book form.
NOW,i don't think you wrote the last two paragraphs.Someone else did.
You mentioned that "bouyed by the fast track that bought Chastenet the political leadership of the UWP"
IF you call that process FAST TRACK how would you describe Kenny's process to the leadership position of the SLP?

...the 4 lane highway from Gros-Islet to Vieux Fort?
Is the south highway that overcrowded to expand him to a 4 lane? Or is it just to spend (waist) taxpayers money or borrow new money to bring the depth deeper??
