“If the press don’t mek yuh, the press can’t brek yuh and I have been around long enough in these last 15 years that I know that they got people in high places and in low places in that field they call media that if you got a hurn [hundred] dollar bill, they will tell […]

#BTEditorial – When did prostitution become legal in Barbados?

In our last editorial we zeroed in on the announcement by sex worker Natalie Natlee Harewood that she plans to contest the upcoming general election in The City and asked aloud: What if she actually captured the Bridgetown seat? Today, we have an equally pertinent question which we believe our authorities must answer, and swiftly […]

#BTEditorial – What if Natlee wins in The City?

Indeed, all would have been waiting with […]

#BTEditorial – What will history say about our goodly PM?

As we end week one of the extended stay of the Freundel Stuart administration the average Barbadian would like a good clear look into the Prime Minister’s head to try to figure out what he is thinking. Having allowed Parliament to automatically dissolve after rushing through a string of measures at the last minute, without […]

#BTEditorial – When even our lawmen don’t understand the law

The rapid retraction today by the Royal Barbados Police Force (RBPF) of its interpretation of the recently effected amended Road Traffic Act will be accompanied by a cyclone-type sigh of relief by motorists. And coming after Minister of Transport and Works Michael Lashley was forced to issue a clarification, it leaves us to wonder whether […]
