First Ri Ri now MM.

Where are the Yardie, Tit, Mudland, Dottie/Revo leaders who the world sees as most influential?

In reply to Castled

Yard produced influential people before you could walk.

In reply to Castled

Yardies might say Judge Chutkan.

In reply to JahJah

They made Times Magazine 100 Most Influential People in the World list?

Call names.

In reply to Castled

You new to the game.

In reply to Castled

Not that it matters, since they only started doing this in 1999 but Usain Bolt made it in 2016, and in 1999 guess whose album was named Time Magazine Album of the Century

Rest assured that the likes of Garvey, Seacole, Wint et al have been influential before you were a mere suckling.

In reply to Castled

You needed Time magazine to validate those two? What are they today that they weren’t yesterday, in your mind?

In reply to JahJah

Pretty talk
No results

In reply to JahJah

Bolt, Nesta, Marcus etc. are G.O.A.T's and immortals bruh. There is no argument on their rightful places on all time influence lists.
The question pertains to the present Time list circa 2023 and looking forward

In reply to Castled
TT does not need validation from time magazine

Jonathan Plummer? from the real Stella getting her groove back

Your thoughts on the job they have done and continue to do in education? Ask little children about sexual orientation? The men with cutlasses drill? Education reform that looks like rank amateur hour?

They were dealt a bad hand but all they are doing in the face of severe hardships is borrow money, tax the snot out of people and come on the tv with some grand dream they are unable to execute.

So you can talk pretty too.

In reply to powen001

Let us do a recap for the viewers.

1. sudden's party was historically bad so the Bajans got rid of them.

2. In the world of elective politics the goal is to retain power. Governments would love to do all the necessary things but many necessary things are unpopular so there is this seesaw of giving and taking.

3. Your party has borrowed and borrowed and taxed and taxed and written off.

So the country has its fair share of issues - from sudden's historically bad party running the country into the ground to Covid, wars, inflation and food insecurity. The only solution to fix the problems has been to borrow a ton of money to which the Bajan taxpayers have been paying back. The course of action is usually very unpopular and will cause you to lose an election. BUT that has not been the case. People are very unhappy but there is no alternative so the country has and will continue to vote for Powen's party.

Powen's party finds themself in a dream position of being able to fix the country without suffering the blowback of unhappy voters yet all they have actually done is borrow and tax. But that is not my scathing criticism of the job being done. It is the brilliant ideas they come to the country with and the absolute lack of execution of these ideas. Health reform. Education reform. Finance reform. Integrity reform. Their ideas!

And it is that sugar coating people around here see and think your people are so influential and admirable. The pretty talk and the ideas. Bimshire won't get far with this group.

In reply to nick2020

Yuh always calling my name.

But from Powen’s submission I would give way Powen along with or instead of MAM

In reply to sudden

I don't know if people truly understand how ineffective this group has been.

Borrow borrow borrow and tax. Where is the greatness in that? You have two 30 loves that is really easy.

But look at their home grown initiatives and the failures. Back in 2019 they proposed to abolish the 11 plus. Now this grand academies of excellence. Who's fault is it they have not been able to get off the mark?

Remember the safe zones proposal?

The list of ideas they came up with that have been so poorly thought out and stalled tells you everything you need to know about this group.

Maybe the Bajans don't deserve any better.

In reply to nick2020

The Democratic Labour party was historically bad? Wasn't this the party founded by the immortal EWB who lifted Bim from a backward speck in the Atlantic to a modern speck in the Atlantic with free education, free health care and more. The same EWB stopped Bim loitering on the colonial premises and ushered in Independence over the vociferous resistance of MM/powen party. Check yourself bruh

In reply to Castled

The 2008 to 2017 party of sudden was historically bad.

Sudden went chasing after some woman abroad and left the party in dire straits. And they have never recovered.

In reply to nick2020

i will have you know that i had nothing to do with the political direction of the DLP after the death of David Thompson

In reply to sudden

Exactly!

You abandoned them and look what it did to the country.

All for a woman. Was it worth it? Was it?

Powen is right about you.

In reply to nick2020

listen, dont try to enjoin me in your fight with Powen
