“Poor Donkey”

 Dear Sir, 

Some years ago, a very elderly man who lived in one of our rural districts had a   small donkey. However this man tried, he could not get any work out of this unruly animal. He grew tired of feeding this wayward beast, so he tied it under a tree near to his house and posted a ‘for sale’  sign nearby. There were many enquiries but no one would buy the donkey. So he kept lowering the price. Until one day, an overseer, a big red man on a horse, from the nearby plantation passed and offered to buy this shaggy unkempt dirty and bad smelling animal.  When the price was agreed at three shillings (seventy-two cents), the overseer asked the owner the name of the animal. The terse reply was: ‘that jackass there massah, he name “Franklyn”. Now what could have reminded me of this story?  Emma Francis (Mrs.)

    Wuh wunnuh talking bout or should i say who? Who is Franklyn? Caswell Franklyn? If so leave Caswell alone, He is misguided in his opinion on the PM and his wife, but he remains to me a good Barbadian, who’s biggest problem and one that is shared by way to many bright young men, Sly and Hendy B included, is that they have become too lazy and as such have rest their career, and future at the feet of Politics, Politicians, and Political Parties, with 26 letters in that alphabet to choose from these guys have certainly failed the number one test of investing, “Never put all your eggs in one basket” :D

    Caswell is no political friend of mine. But one thing I know about him is that if he believes in something, he believes in it. He stands up for what he believes in as well. He is not misguided Adrian. Anywhere else in the world a PM who gives his mistress a job (political appointment) at tax-payers expense would have a lot of explaining to do. But perhaps Adrian has no morals either.

    I agree on the latter part: but when did she get the pick? why now? and not before? and i do have morals, thats why i keep politicians at arms length. :D

    Read Caswel’s letter in the Sunday Sun. That’s why they are going to be on his back. Get the facts Adrian. They are there for those who are willing to read, learn and inwardly digest. Stop shadow boxing. Who cares where you keep politicians?

    Bronx lawmaker faces indictmentAccused of misappropriating funds

    Eyewitness News

    (New York – WABC, August 25, 2006) – A powerful lawmaker from the the Bronx is on the other side of the law today.

    New York State Senator Ephram Gonzalez Junior faces indictment on charges of corruption. Eyewitness News reporter Ken Rosato is live in Lower Manhattan with the story.
    Yesterday he was considered one of the most powerful lawmakers in the New York State Senate. Today he turned himself over to federal authorities, and he could be facing the most challenging legal battle of his life.

    “There will be an arraignment today, where he will of course be pleading not guilty and there is no further comment at this point,” was all his lawyer would say on the way into court.

    Investigators say the powerful 58-year-old lawmaker faces charges of misappropriating government funds. The sealed, 19 count indictment allegedly charges that the 18-year-state senator used grants and contracts that were supposed to go to community groups to line his pockets instead.

    It also allegedly shows the senator provided taxpayer-funded jobs to friends and family members.

    It’s all part of a two year FBI probe that also included the use of deputized agents from the New York City Department of Investigation. Eyewitness News has learned agents may have traveled for the case as far away as Florida and the Dominican Republic where Gonzalez owns a cigar business.

    He was to be arraigned this afternoon, and was expected to be released on $25,000 bond.

    aBajan, for thoe of us who do not know can you give examples of how Barbadian politicians are corrupt?

    I don’t understand how you can suggest that the PM’s wife is corrupt unless you have proof of some wrong doing on her part.
    She is not a politician so she not be attacked.

    Give her a break but you can pelt nuff licks in the PM and the rest.

    Doan be too hard on William though. I think he is a good Bajan.

    So what has happenned to Owen Arthur’s Jamaican wife – Beverley Arthur (nee Bachelor). Owen has a problem of courting his Secretaries. He did the same thing while working at the Jamaica Bauxite Institute in Jamaica.

    You Bajans does mek me laugh. Thompy and Anon would have us believe that we Bajan men have a track record from which we can castigate each other for our relationships. Who setting the rules? where do we start? There are so many of us that don’t know our father, or if we did or do, that man certainly did not know us and in the least did not have a relationship with us. How many of us can lay claim to the right to redicule another man for his relationship and or family failings without casting so wide a net as not to include someone in our own family, who? You? Thompy? Since Thompy took the bait and decide to attack Owen on family and values as I suggested how does he seek to explain the life of oh lets say Tom Adams what light can he shed on the storied life and triple marriages of the author of Ginger Lilly? :D

    Adrian, how Thompy get into it? Did he say something that has got you vex? This is the BLP blog. Let’s talk about the Bees. You said a few wees ago that Thompy should have used this issue years ago to highlight certain BLP failings. Of course, you didn’t mean Owen. You meant Mia.

    If he said something about Mia, you would be over the moon. You said Thompy has no chance of winning against your great man so what’s the point of bothering with him? Tell us whether Owen was having a relatonship with a woman while married, helped her get a RDC house and then gave her a job in government? I will then explain to you whether Thompy and Anon have a case.

    Is something missing here?

  • cat eyes // August 29, 2006 at 12:40 pm | Reply

    The private life of a prime minister will always be public. All this talk about giving the PM and his wife a break is crap. Their affair, their love child, his relationship with his ex-wife (when did she become ex, by the way) is all public.
    Can those of you who beg for a break for them tell me what you say when he hides behind parliamentary privilege and savages private citizens? Yes, Owen Arthur savages them as long as they support the opposition, in many cases wrogfully and they have no recourse.None. So how now, when he has displayed utter disregard for the office of PM in his conduct, is he to be left alone? From whom much is given, much is expected and the standards of the man in the street do not apply to the prime minister and you know it. You all are aware that the lady worked with him up until recently and they have a school age child. Within the past two weeks the child’s age has fluctuated from four to six. What we are not supposed to know is if she was born when he was married to Beverly. But we know. Hiding her age is proof that Owen knows he wrong. We expect him to conduct himself in a manner befitting the office. Are women who apply for jobs with him who look a certain way to fear the PM’s advances? But as my late grandad used to say, “The office comes down to the man.” Was he so true.
    Yesterday Owen was speaking about “bashment” and Barbados’ “values” and my oh my, how hollow he sounded.
    Wonder why?

    And to Adrian: The number of Barbadians who do not know their father is in the minority, not the majority. Most children know theirs, especially in these times.

  • ADRIAN // August 29, 2006 at 1:40 pm | Reply

    Years ago when it was relevant, and certainly not in the manner that he did. When Thompy makes the claim that he can report that he has one wife, and 3 children as if to suggest that this makes him special and that those who can’t report such stellar statistics are somehow not worthy, I have to ask can Margaret Knight report that she had one Husband and 4 kids? Indeed can she report that all of her children are from any of her husbands? Is this the yardstick by which we will not pick our Leaders? Should it be use to measure past ones?

    It is common knowledge that Owen fathered his child while still married: It was wrong and it was frowned on. It is also known to me that his first marital relationship was on the rocks for a very long time even before he became leader. His first wife use to live in the US and he use to be back and forth trying to make things work, clearly it didn’t. The fact that he did not abandon his responsibilities to that child, and eventually did what the old people would have requested of any man who knocks up the outside woman, and married her, I celebrate his marriage, and his entering the union of family that is the building block for strong societies. Of course if he had maintain his previous life and Thompy had made mention of it, i would join with Thompy, but not now and never in the fashioned that he did it.

    I do not know about other relationship other than Julie, and would not be surprise if there were others, I am however willing to give him an opportunity to do the right thing now, and stand ready to castigate him if he does not. I would say that since you and Velzo and others are making the claim about outside women and RDC house etc. that it is up to you, to spell it out, not me, as i do not know of such I really don’t. Please note I don’t have to rely on you on Thompy’s and anon comments, I am as equally good a judge of this as you. You and I know that all politicians including Thompson are afraid of Mia Mottley, he will not dear to attack Mia with innuendo weapon although there is a lot of fodder there.

    Why can’t you guys leave wives, children and especially peoples mothers out of this nasty character asassanation.

    If you want to talk about peoples mothers identify yourself and go find that person and tell him to his face.

    I am a proud Bajan and I was enjoying the banter on this blog.
    William Duguid will spin my comments to defend the BLP position on this but I think attacking Thompson’s mother is disgusting.

    Also why is the PM assumed to have been the one to pursue his present wife. How do any of you know what caused the tow of then to get together.Why is it not possible that these two people just fell in love like some couples do?

    The PM’s wife and child should be left alone as should David Thompson’s mother.

    I will continue to contribute to this blog but I refuse to join the Carp,Catfish and Sturgeon of society in insulting peoples wives, mothers, and children.

    Hants and Adrian I must agree with your stance on the issue of the personal attack on PM and Thompson. I beleive that we have enough political issues to engage our attention than to get into other peoples private lives.

    You know Cat Eyes the bible spoke to the issue of the woman who was accused of fornication. To this day I am still lost as to what it was that Jesus Christ wrote in the sand that caused the woman’s accusers to flee the scene. I feel a lot of our mirrows would break when we look into them if they were to truly reveal our innermost secrets and images.

    Thompy is trying to push this issue as a political issue but he is no more family commited than any of us. In fact he should know that people who live in glass houses should not throw staones.If this issue continues some people might be willing to declare some truths that would cause him to tell us how family commited he really is. Is he a saint?. So let us drop this foolishness and get back to the politics. This is not an issue that Thompson or the Dems can win any votes.

  • Velzo // August 29, 2006 at 3:40 pm | Reply

    The truth is that Adrian has carried such matters to the point where they are from the time I made my first comment on this site. Check his comments on Mia and Thompy back last month. None of this is new from him. He has a big problem. I said so before and I maintain it. Its BIG.

    When things get too hot, he then pulls back with a lot of specious moralising. What I read that David Thompson said was, as far as I know, the truth. His family is known to Barbadians and from their marraige to the birth of their first was public knowledge. The public can judge him on that. If he slips, then he will slide.

    But Owen? This whole thing is not beyond public comment. Kenny Anthony of St. Lucia is the son of a Barnard and that was a topic in that election in St. Lucia when he first led his party. Clinton’s father, Carter’s brother, Bush’s children… never far from the spotlight. We live in that age. People judge you on these issues from time to time.

    That Mia is a Mottley has been an issue. That Tom Adams was Grantley’s son was always an issue or relevant. The BLP said Errol Barrow ’s father was in prison in St. Vincent when he was born.

    I heard Liz Thompson suggesting one night at a BLP public meeting that DT’s three children are not his. Owen sat there in silence as with Rev. Atherly. Hypocrites, I say! And Adrian is condemned by his own words.

    Royal Rumble: I am with you Yes we must the Lords work here on earth, and it is in that regard I say to Thumpy, he without sin cast the first stone, and verily I also say unto him ye without family who have sin cast and even bigger stone. :D My comments are not design to persuade anyone from further comment, but to demonstrate that the effect of what you say to hurt Mrs. Arthur and child will resonate unto persons that you would wish not to be implicated namely oneself. :D I have no interest in dragging Thomy’s mother thru the mud, but will do whatever is needed to drive home the point that he and persons dear to him is not beyond his comments. Attack Arthur and Thompy i will not deny anyone the pleasure that i find in attacking them. :D

    A little truth if it isn’t known already. I do not like Mia Mottley, I don’t care to be nice or civil or professional, or non-partisan as far as she is concern. I don’t even have a cogent, rational, explanation for my dislike of her, I just don’t . :D

    Velzo, when things get hot? I haven’t seen any fire from you, and I come to the fight with but a bottle of water, and i plan to drink it not dose you. :D When i was attacking Mia you lap it up, when i attack Thompy you cry foul, you are partisan i am not ,all politicians are game for me. I choose to respect the institution of marriage and that has to include Mr. and Mrs Arthur marriage. When you and thompy attack that institution I felt the need to have Thompy’s comments reflected on others to see how well they fit and you are not crying fowl. If you continue to think that the PM’s wife and daughter are fair game for political platform scrutiny, i will make sure that Thompy, and his family members share the spotlight as well. The ball is in your court. Not being loyal to your party isn’t problem for me not even a small one. :D

    Cat eyes the reports are out and stats are in, Single parenting is on the rise in Barbados. The mens group is complaining about men not being able to see their kids. Now this is in start contrast to men of yesteryear who were not even interested in seeing the kids that they brought into this world. :D

  • Adrian // August 29, 2006 at 6:26 pm | Reply

    Thompy started it and i gine finish it. Thou much of their lives, history, and travels have been sanitized from histories pages, I have been thus far able to place Tom Adams and Margaret Knight in England in the same years and time that Thompy was born. Now England is a big place so i might very well be a coincedence of time and nothing else. :D Now i notice that Tom Adams had a conspicous tuff of white hair at the front, and i notice that thompy does keep his hair real short so it’s hard to tell if he has what might be the Adams men trade mark. Velzo could you have Thompy grow his hair out to despel this dangerous and malicious notion? :D I intend to publish my findings of the lives and travels of these two Barbadians, and it looks like i might be able to determine once and for all that while Thompy is making fun of Owen for having a child out of wedlock that he might be the product of one. Then i would have to ask how could man make such mock sport of himself and not know? :D

  • True Blue // August 29, 2006 at 11:09 pm | Reply

    Adrian, the point is not about children out of wedlock or not. You have fascination with that point. The point has to do with what he said: he is not ashamed. Now let us use your logic about Clyde and what he said about debt. Did Thompy say Arthur was ashamed? Who the cap fits…

  • True Blue // August 29, 2006 at 11:14 pm | Reply

    Velzo, don’t be frighten. I wonder if he remembers that Arthur called Hartley Henry – a married man with a family – a sexual predator on the floor of the House. Or that he called Richard Sealy Austin Sealy’s piglet. Or do you remember the Budget in which he attacked Thompy’s sister-in-law under parliamentary privilege.

    Arthur has said time and time again – under parliamentary privilege – exactly what Adrian is saying. Henry Forde said it. What happened? Thompy got more votes in St. John. Who really cares?

  • Adrian // August 30, 2006 at 12:09 am | Reply

    I don’t remember what was said about Hartley, but Hartley was a player for a long time that aint nuh lie. I don’t recall these things, and i am not defending Owen’s abuse of parliamentary privilage, If i was in parliament nuh body din gine get away wid cussing me, nuh way nuh how, dahs is why when I see them state-side i don’t be too kind in words to them. But what eaxtly it is that Henry Forde said that i may have repeated? I also missed Henry’s comment. But tell de thruth doah, you feel if Thompy let his hair grow all doubt about who is father is will be removed? Uh want to know too if there connection to Jack Pilgrim and the pilgrims from porey spring St. Thomas, could you find these tings fuh me? :D

    Again, I say I hear no outcry from those who carry on about peoples’ mothers when Owen savages private citizens in Parliament. But as soon as the spotlight is pointed on him, we hear give him a break. I repeat, he is a public citizen, and to whom much is given, much is expected. Lay off? Not for s’ite.
    I do not know what kind of cough mixture Adrian drinks sometimes, but I cannot believe he said he has no interest in dragging Thompy’s mother’s name through the mud when every now and then he presents some piece of disgustingly obssessive “research” on the man’s family that nobody in Barbados has or is interested in. He has is not mere “interest.” Adrian you are obssessed and I think it really is sick Deal with Thompy, not his mother who cannot defend herself.

    Most Barbadians know their fathers, especially today. Oh and Adrian, with reference to the statement you made about doing the right thing etc, what happened to the mother of the 18-year old who is studying overseas and who was present for the wedding?
    And why should anyone fear Mia. Most of us pity her. As far as her private life goes, bring the proof. Otherwise leave alone.

    Adrian, again I say: you hqave a big problem. I have now read the entire speech.

    What was it Thompy said that you don’t like? That he is married? That he has three children? That he is proud or rather not ashamed of them? That they travel with him? That he includes them in family photographs? What is it you or Owen may have a problem with? I fail to see what your grouse is.

    Look Margaret Knight was a poltical animal a prolific letter writer on politics, but that aside, if it is ok to attack de women in Owens life i can only be fair to expect such on de women in Thompy’s life. If you aint ready to call a truce me neither. :D

    Now can I put Tom in England at the sametime as Margaret i sure can.

    Tom attended Magdaline College at Oxford in 2959 and was called to the bar at grays end in 1965

    Margaret and Husband no.2 lived in Southfields London with Margaret and their four children, between 1959 and 1968. de marriage ended suddenly, uh wonder why? :D

    Thompy was born in 1962?

    his brother charles was born in 1959 or 60
    The family moved to St.Thomas Barbados in 1970 and live there for sometime until something “serious” happen. Charles was 14 and Liz was 7 at the time.

    How old is his Brother Paul? do you know? does David look like any of his brothers?

    Does anyone know if the Pilgrims from porey spring are related to Jack pilgrim?

    Jack was Margaret’s Third husband.

    ….and would you believe i got all of this from Margaret? true nuh lie. :D

    …..Did i tell Margaret to write a book and put all of this info in it? Has thompy or Margaret ever sought to deal with the national rumours about Thompy’s father? If there isn’t a bit of truth to this national rumour why would the aggrieve allow it to fester this long and not attempt to bring truth to the matter? maybe the rumour is really the truth. This is all i am seeking to do, I honestly believe it isn’t true and would wish to research it for history’s sake and to put to rest what might be a big lie. Can you put it to rest for me?

    More to the point: who is Owen’s grand-father? Check the land-owning records in St. Lucy.

    Big question though: I thought we were talking about RDC house? And what Caswell said? And about the mistress earning a huge government salary? How we reach Thompy? Typical BLP strategy. No one can tell me Adrian isn’t a paid hack. And he isn’t even a good one.

    Richmond has produced much better including, according to MK who Adrian quotes, Thompy’s brother Paul.

    Did Tom go to prison? According to you that’s Thompy’s father. Adrian???? And, by the way, at the rate Owen is ruling and if you read the court pages, 50% of Barbadian children will be born with a father who went to prison. I would love the BLP to run that kind of campaign against Thompy. Cause I hope all the young people whose fathers went to prison, according to Adrian, are as successful as the same Thompy with whom Adrian has a BIG problem. Big. Big. Big.

    Well i am someone and i aint being paid. Duguid you hear that, Velzo thinks i should be paid, wuh you think? :D

    I was sent to school at Richmond, but didn’t go much and the only record they have on me is in their blackbook. so you are right. So thompy brother when to Richmond, and he is around my age. What was his last name, Knight, or Thompson? :D

    I don’t know that Tom is Thompy’s father or not, do you? does Margaret know? does Thompy know or even care? :D Ask him to grow his hair nuh. :D

    All the slugs and vermin that are crawling out the gutter and telling dirty lies on Margaret Knight and David Thompson should know that in 2005 Margaret Knight successfully sued VOB when a man called in on Brass Tacks and hinted that Tom Adams was Thompson’s father. Margaret should listen and watch out for other vermin making the same mistake and she could be laughing all the way to the bank. I would then encourage her to write another book, for she is a fantastic writer, on “How To Laugh All the Way To The Bank.

Why doesn’t he research Mia Mottley’s life and tell us if Johnny Tudor’s comment that Elombe and not Elliott is her father is true or not? (And Johnny said he is her Godfather!) Who is Owen’s grand-father – a tightly held secret? Let’s get some real reserach Adrian.

    But the real problem Adrian has is simple. He secretly admires Thompy, who is the most outstanding public speaker today, and wants him to be Tom’s son. And he wants Thompy to be a Bee and Mia to be a Dem again.

    Life is not so easy.

    And BTW, who the frig is Adrian? And who wants to even know?

    Don’t explain that to me. I’m too busy reading what Sir Richard Cheltenham said about the NHC being incompetent on today’s Sunday Sun. Worse than that he questions the sanity of those who say they were surprised by the Arbitrators award… including, we presume, the Rt. Hon. Prime Minister.

    Again, I say, a bunch of crooks.

    One think I know, Owen Arthur treated Beverley really bad. I neva see somebody fi sleep round so. He is a sick puppy. I feel so sorry for Julie. I wonder when him go start sleep with the new secretary/assistant. It seems he has a weakness or appetite for the lower-level staff dem. He did the same thing in Jamaica while he worked at the Bauxite Institute there. Then he gave her a big jump in salary…ah! ah!. I wondered what Julie salary did he give to Julie since he also had a child to support. Maybe her salary was the highest in Barbados. What a shame Owen brought on the Office of The Prime Minister of Barbados. Him no have no say in a parliament
