65 years ago Bajans used to arrive in Guyana at the John Fernandes wharf desperate for "cent jobs". Guyanese used to laugh at them and how desperate and poor they were. Laugh at the small size of their island and laugh at their "weird" accent.
65 years ago Guyanese would never have imagined that their own terrible parade of incompetent governments would lead Guyanese to the point where we would be flocking to a tiny and extremely over crowded island so desperate for work that we would live 20 in a house fit for one family in order to save enough money to allow relatives back in Guyana to survive!
Last week 20,000 people (out of a population of 180,000 working age people) poured into the streets to protest actions that they didn't like. EVERY cross section of Barbadians were there protesting.
Can you imagine a protest of 50,000 people from ALL works of life doing this in Guyana?
Guyana. Jagdeo destroys Guysuco and jeopardizes the support base of his own party and yet slavishly they swallow his "black man a kill ahbe".
Granger tolerates corruption and incompetence every bit as sordid as that which he accused the PPP of. His supporters murmur "we voted for change not exchange, but wha we gun do...is Guyana you know".
They find nuff mouth when after a LIAT flight to Barbados, Antigua or Tortola the local immigration denies them entry then sticks them in a nasty room while immigration females in training to be lesbians finger their most intimate orifices.
Druggie THAT is why a tiny coral reef of 166 square miles and under 300k people has a GNP 1.5X the size of Guyana's. Not GDP per capita but TOTAL GDP. Barbados produces 1.5 times the value of goods and services that Guyana does.
