You so dangerous then, you want to know who the clown is right? Talk about a government meeting and a clown and you ears prick *1.
I attended a government meeting at the Prime Ministers office yesterday. This meeting consisted of cultural reps United Artistes of Barbados (UAB), Barbados Association of Tent Managers (BATMAN), National Cultural Foundation (NCF) and was chaired by Minister of State in Prime Ministers Office Reverend Atherley.
If this meeting were made into a movie it could be accurately entitled “The Good the Badd and The Clown;
Let’s break that down…..
THE GOOD: Minister Joseph Atherley!
I am not picking him because he has Reverend in front of his name, I am picking Minister Atherley because of his sincere efforts which I witnessed myself to secure an agreement which would benefit the cultural industries and not disadvantage NCF. Also his excellent chairmanship which kept the parties in check including my self so that the meetings remained productive but yet views passionately expressed but yet remained amicable.
“As amicable as you could expect for a meeting that had Peter Boyce, Ian Estwick (NCF) and Sinclair Gittens (BATMAN) present”. That’s what the minister said…… wait something is wrong with that sentence let me re write it…
As amicable as you could expect for a meeting that had Peter Boyce Sinclair Gittens and Ian Estwick present! Now that looks better, I had to move my name from next to Ian Estwick’s.
THE BADD: Stinking NCF! There were many underhanded actions and lies from the NCF that were exposed at the meetings. At one point Stinking NCF even attempted to renege on the decision that had been previously reached to increase the Party Monarch prize monies. If it were not for the Minister Atherley standing firm on behalf of the industry I assure you that all like now there would have been cultural anarchy, I would have made sure of that!
We will discuss more on NCF at a later date in a post that will be entitled “NCF; with a Stinking Attitude”. Watch for it but now let us move on to ……
THE CLOWN
Who is the freaking*2 clown? That got wunnah nuh? Let’s go through who was at that meeting that could be the clown…
Dwayne Grazette was at that meeting, maybe it could be Dwayne. Also at the meeting was Al Gilkes, and myself. I was there! I am a comedian by profession so maybe I am the freaking clown, you never know…
Well the Clown was all over the place performing for us bumbling and fumbling and at times professing ignorance of what it was suppose to know. Its one thing to be a clown but to be igrunt and a clown at the same time that is too much.
May be Sinclair Gittens is the clown, the suspense is killing me, what about sexy Penny from NCF? WHO IS THE FREAKING CLOWN?? Listen I done talking to wunnah, I gotta go and get ready to go to a press conference at the Prime Ministers office.
By the way Party Monarch prize monies are being increased by 10% effective from this year, (unless NCF has their way and tries to change it again) that means an overall increase of $16’100.00. It’s a start!
*1 You are anxious to hear
*2 I meant freaking, what else could it mean….?
Coming Soon!! The Government is trying to poison me…
And I got pictures to prove it…
