  • HONESTLY says : " I would think some have been shaved off of our bumper".

    Ossie Moore : Of course Barbados has had it's tourist " bumper " shaved. The " shaved tourists " are now flocking to St.Lucia , Grenada and all of the other islands that bajans used to refer to derogatorily as the "low Islands "

    Well HONESTLY ,let's keep our eyes and ears on this Barbados Official Tourism announcement which will be coming anytime soon now and you are going to hear that :

    " THIS TOURIST SEASON WILL BE A BUMPER TOURIST SEASON "

    . . . . stay tuned Y'all !

  • BK says: "Politics drenched in hypocrisy"

    Ossie Moore : Well said BK . . . the average bajan does not believe that "bajan Politics" ( Like all other countries ) are also drenched in hypocrisy.

    The average bajan believes th Trinidadian , Jamaican and Guyanese politics are drenched in hypocrisy . . . .but bajan Politics ? . . .no way ! ! !

  • @OSSIE MOORE,like we going to have to employ our own tourism police to contradict those officials because today the Bahamas has reported an increase in their tourist arrivals so I would think some have been shaved off of our bumper.We know that they know that they are not fooling all of us with that grin like the Cheshire Cat.The tourist are looking to relax and have fun that does not include the likely hood of being mugged /robbed or being caught in a cross fire when these delinquents emerge from their habitat to go on the rampage.

  • @Ossie Moore, you should have told that to Dale Marshall when he was in the opposition, and blamed the former AG for the upsurge in crime. Yap yap yap, all over the place, but now you can't hear a squeak from him. Politics drenched in hypocrisy.

  • BISCUITS "With the upcoming winter season, the island does not need any additional ‘bad’ publicity "

    Ossie Moore : BISCUITS , do you live in a cave in Barbados ? ( no pun intended )

    . . . . . . " the island does not need and additional bad publicity ".

    Anyhow no matter how may the "cattle " kill out each other you can expect the Barbados Tourism officials to go in front of the Barbados media in a few more weeks from now showing their pearly whites with grins from ear to ear saying that :

    " THIS IS GOING TO BE A BUMPER TOURIST SEASON "

  • Johnny Crow / BISCUITS and many more blaming the Attny.General instead of blaming the "black cattle; jungle animal bajans for killing each other.

    Next y'all going to be laming Jesus Christ, God, Jehovah, Jah , the Virgin Mary , the USA and whoever comes to mind for the actions of the stupid , ignorant lawless black jungle minded bajans.

  • There has been an upsurge in shootings recently. I sincerely hope the AG and relevant authorities are addressing this situation before innocent bystanders become victims. With the upcoming winter season, the island does not need any additional 'bad' publicity.

  • JOHNNY CROW :The Attorney General is not doing his job:

    Ossie Moore : Mr. Crow , did the Attny.General shoot someone in " black buhbados today ?

    You are " typical bajan " ( not one of the nice , respectable Bajans that I know), always in denial and trying to blame someone else.

    you should be blaming the black, stupid, ignorant lawless " jungle animal instinct bajans for killing one another every day.

  • The Attorney General is not doing his job, in the battle against these major gun crimes, and all other crimes in this country. What makes it more disgraceful, is that he never says a word about it, while he draws a huge huge salary. Almost every day now since the BLP Administration took power there is a shooting in some community. What is the reason for it?? The hard times government is slamming the people with? You need to say something Dale.
