My freaking hand is empty, empty like my head, empty like the promises you get from government! Freaking empty! What is this empty hand crap now you may ask? Allow me to elucidate.

35 days ago, on Tuesday 21st August 2007 to be exact Government hosted a cultural industries consultation at the Barbados Hilton. You remember, the one where I puked. Prime Minister and Minister of Culture Owen Arthur, proudly announced the forming of the Festival Events Bureau which was to “save” Crop Over from the “inept bungling of the imbecile NCF”. (My quote here)

While I was in the process of making my contribution on this auspicious occasion, identifying salient points of concern about this new Bureau, the Prime Minister pointed out to me that the policy document I was quoting from was outdated. I did not have the current document from which he was quoting . Which translates to sit down and shut up yuh idiot you ent know what you talking bout! Being the uppity ignoramus I am, who does not know his place, I had the audacity to ask for a copy of the document to be circulated so I can peruse and participate in the process.

The PM had personally expressed concern to me that the document had not been circulated to the industry before hand and that that should have been done by the NCF. (He seems to forget they are imbeciles). It was stated that copies of this special document would be circulated to us so we can participate in the process. 35 days later, look at my hand, look, do you see a document?

NO, it is empty, empty like my head, empty like the promise we got from the Government!
