David Thompson alerted the taxpayers the said company was "not on our record belonging to a Barbadian" yet benefiting from "royal handshakes from various government agencies  including direct cash investments" in less than two years.  The real question posed by the party leader was "WHO IS THE REAL BRAINS" behind the factory "AND WHAT QUALIFIES IT ABOVE ALL OTHERS TO BENEFIT IN THIS WAY FROM GOVERNMENT LARGESSE?"

What is even more discerning is the lack of interest shown by Arthur, Mascoll's current political role model, to the machinations at the St Philip plant. It is clear that he has lost all control.

Arthur has led an unapologetic administration at every turn of accountability. He promised transparency and accountability from his team yet all the public gets are spin doctors trying to account for the wastage of taxpayer's monies.

How can Arthur speak of a developed Barbados? When the only development that seems to be taking place can be seem among the cronies of his administration.  This country is now experiencing a level of corrupt practices unlike any other Caribbean county. It cannot be right for taxpayers to be sitting every night watching Minister after Minister bundle their way through half truths regarding the wastage of our taxpayers' dollars. We have seen the Golden shower, Airport expansion over runs, the NHC Warrens building, the Prison cost , the highway cost tripling and now the Hardwood project, all poorly managed at the expense of our taxpayers.

The Barbadian taxpaying public is demanding answers from the mighty Arthur who can do no wrong .His recruitment strategy of politics of inclusion and his doubled edged tongue have all been answered by the daily cries of hurt and suffering of our taxpayers.

Arthur's call for fifteen more years must not be taken lightly as a request. The Democratic Labor Party is seeing it as threat to a future stable Barbados. The more the BLP realizes its fortunes are dwindling the more damage will be done to our already fragile existence. The recent announcement about works at the National  Stadium, lights at the Oval, construction of schools, police stations, Municipals centers and daycare facilities all form part of the election  carrot that this BLP is hoping to dangle in front of the voting public.

But the Barbadian public has been awoken. David Thompson and his team have been uncovering the "GEMS" and the "JAWS" of the BLP's corrupt political pot. David Thompson at every turn has being warning tax payers of this county about the wastage and corrupt practices of this BLP administration. Arthur and his bunch have asked for proof and the public has been presented with the truth. David Thompson has gone on record as vowing to unearth the political dirt wherever it settles and they is a big pile in Roebuck street.

There is no way that Arthur can wriggle his way out of a response to corruption charges against his administration. The last budget wrap up indicted that something was fishy from the top and the scent goes right down to the bottom. David Thompson smelt a rat and he found an even bigger rat at Hardwood Housing Factory Inc. The question that all taxpayers must be asking is when will the rot stop and where is the sensitivity to the needs of the public?

The solution lies in the election of David Thompson and his team. He has promised Integrity Legislation and a look into the "change in scope of works" as authored by Arthur and his team. He has the political will to deliver while his opponent sharpens his tongue and remove his gloves to sink into his element.

David Thompson's focus is not on a sharpened tongue or removing gloves, it is in securing an improved quality of life for all Barbadians. This is possible by electing the Democratic Labour Party.
