A Shameful Opposition

It’s a shame contending with an Opposition that do not mustard neither the Political Maturity nor the IQ to understand a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) ... and you yet asking this nation to trust you with your immaturity and lack of or bogus intelligence?

It is inherent upon us to demand such intelligence for our kids; likewise a nation so yearns.

Those dark days of trials and errors are done – we demand guaranteed precision governance; a qualified government of the People, by the People, for the People.

We are not going to be bamboozled back into embarrassment; back to the days when we had the least prepared and most arrogant laugh-at representation in the whole of the Western Hemisphere.

This new nation will continue to advance, grow leaps and bounds sadly beyond the Dreamwork Visionless Oppositions’ comprehension. Where the sky is others' limit; it's our stepping ground.

The path of destructive politics, division, disorganization, greed, lack of IQ, unqualified and guesswork trials and failures by the Dreamwork Visionless Oppositions’ nutshell mentality fear-mongering approach, delivering failed leadership and governments are over-with forever.

The Leader Of The Opposition Health is Apparently Gravely Deteriorating

The nation is in a state of shock and is very sadden about the apparent deteriorating health of the Hon. Hubert Hughes, Opposition Leader, after a dismal appearance in a live warm-up debate on radio, Up-Beat FM - 24th, October - with the Deputy Leader of Government business and Leader of the Anguilla United Front Party (AUF), Mr. Victor F. Banks.

His disgraceful debacle and wellbeing worried both his nephews, both physicians, so much that it is reported that they summoned him to their clinic for a complete medical check-up.

Listeners reported of obvious sudden involuntary sleep disorder, slurred voice, lack of attention and a serious lack of memory; displaying symptoms that the Hon. Mr. Hughes may be suffering from Narcolepsy and/or Dementia.

Narcolepsy symptoms are characterized by excessive sleepiness, dreaming during naps and experiencing dream-like hallucinations as you fall asleep. Loss of muscle control (called cataplexy) that occurs with emotion, such as laughing or anger are also symptoms; and may explain why the Hon. Opposition Minister seems to be constantly dishing out gobbledygook uncontrollably.

However, symptoms of Dementia were long known in the diplomatic circle where he long loses his integrity, for lack of memory or failing to tell the truth, that he neither studied nor holds a degree from Britain’s prestigious University, the University of Oxford, the oldest surviving university in the English-speaking world - and is regarded as one of the world's leading academic institutions. An in-depth record search reveals that neither the name nor the person: Hubert Benjamin Hughes - attended or read for a degree at that learning institution.

The “Honourable” Opposition Leader, Mr. Hubert Benjamin Hughes, has long contended that he holds a degree in Finance and Economics from that learning institution.

In light of this revelation: should the “Honourable” Opposition Leader make known his academic accomplishments?

Anguilla Oppositions diagnosed with Swine Flu

The Anguilla political oppositions have been diagnosed with swine flu, the Minister of Health office confirmed to the nation just a few moments ago.

The oppositions gained instant notoriety in July when in the face of their irresponsible destructive criticisms on irrelevant accusations on government’s fiscal irresponsibility; the United Kingdom Government still find it prudent to complement government’ foresight. This was in the midst of the recession when the G20 heads of governments, including Britain’s, were asking its members to inject cash flow to rescue their economies and turn around the recession.

All this lack of foresight was after the UK Prime Minister, Gordon Brown, unveiled a $1.1 trillion (£747 billion) rescue fund for the global economy at the end of the G20 summit in London.

Government commitment to cutting public expenditure has seen government reluctantly cutting civil servants salaries; a measure the oppositions felt wasn’t far enough. Oppositions are hell-bent on further decreasing civil servants numbers and further reducing their pay. This is at a time when the Government of Anguilla has attracted its most qualified civil servants to date.

Anguilla – a free-market base economy – has seen skyrocketing uncontrollable cost of living in the midst of the recession at a time when other countries around the world were reducing theirs. In 2008, acting under advice and much concerned, the Government of Anguilla was forced to increase civil servants salaries – a civilized move which was met by much denunciation from the oppositions.

The Government of Anguilla has pledged to do everything within its power to protect its civil servants wellbeing at any cost and promised to repay cuts in the future.

In his confident but charismatic nature, the Health Minister extended sympathy however jovially amuses the media when he said: “perhaps this is Almighty God sending a clear message to the electorate - to keep their distance.

Hubert Hughes, the least informed but still in his attack mode said to the nurse at his bedside, “I’ll be just fine, some jabs will do.”

The Health Minister said he plans to get the H1N1 vaccination soon, but only after the majority of Anguillians receive it first.

As the oppositions head off to seclusion while they recover, the government of Anguilla will use this opportunity to correct much destructive criticism, lies, rumours and innuendoes perpetrated by the Dreamwork Visionless Oppositions.

HAYDN HUGHES GONE MISSING

Haydn Hughes' Facebook and Anguilla Transparency's Facebook have refused to debate the real issues affecting your children, yourself and this tranquill nation and have gone missing. To this end, find him out to be a compounded-liar and you will be removed from their Facebook contacts forthwith. This guy is armed and dangerous with, a loose cannon shooting filth and spreading lies, rumours and innuendoes across this Christian nation.

The Government and people of Anguilla are on a high alert for any gobbledygook filth blanketing the nation; and are asking specifically the young to be vigilant of any sightings. The vulnerable must seek immediate cover as these destructive elements tend to prey on the weak, the less educated, the innocent and the disenfranchised electorate.

Anyone knowing the whereabouts of Mr. Haydn Hughes please notify the authorities immediately.

... and you thought that he was only a political prostitute.

The 5th Season

It is the Silly Season once again and I can’t help but reminisce how mush sillier we Anguillians become around this time. Though not late summer, this season is characterized by exaggerated news stories about frivolous matters for want of real news; real issues… they called it politics… we called it bullshit. And in the Anguilla context, we are in a constant state of… whatever you call it.

It’s the season where you, the disenfranchised electorate’s intelligence, are repeatedly belittled, trust prostituted and/or postulated, brainwashing exaggerations, innuendoes and frivolous discourse saturate the atmosphere; where political discrimination become the norm.

Frankly speaking, the electorate is weary of the relentlessly tainting and hoodwinking of our political atmosphere with purposelessness and echoing deafening waves backed by tribal patronage.

Let us not bush our chances for a brighter future through false choices, tribalism, omissions, false hopes and a dreamworks visionless opposition.

Let us not allow gluttony, disrespect and deceitfulness ‘glaucomaed’ our vision to global ills.

In the midst of this Silly Season… THINK!

Wisely.

ANGUILLA ILLEGAL PROSTITUTION RING

Recent finding by a London university research on Political Immoralities shows that Anguilla has the largest number of Political Prostitutes per capita in the Western Hemisphere; and further suggests that Anguilla has the worst political climate for virgin Politicians. It concludes that the electorate has allowed political prostitutes to run rampant, screwing people left, right and centre unfettered.

This is most surprising for Anguilla, an island where prostitution is outright illegal.

Researchers revealed that since our dependency on Britain in July of 1971, almost all of Anguilla political whorehouses' long standing residents have prostituted themselves to get into political office, where political parties pimped to enjoy the benefits of their whores, and special interest groups pay to gain favours through pimps and independent prostitutes.

This transparent immorality has been transmitted throughout the whole political-colony on Anguilla. The researchers’ findings revealed that since Hubert Hughes’ promiscuous Vote-Of-No-Confidence on 1st February 1977 - Ronald, Albena, Emile, Jerome, Pam, Sam, John, Joyce, Clifton, Victor, Eddie, Neil, Evan, David, Julian, Leroy, Fabian, Statchel, Alan, Maurice, Lolita, Camile, Merrit, Rugby, Everet, Cutwin, Valencia, Bertram, Barbara, Conrad, Arrindel, Watkin, Roberts, Osbourne, Nesmous, Eric, Orealia, Ophelia, Eddie, Belto, Kenneth, Terry, Curtis, Lorenzo, Cardigan, Sutcliffe, Haydn, Brent, Walcott, Patrick, Wilmoth, Elkin and Iwandi have all sinned and felled short of their political matrimonial vows by committing political adultery, a glorified sin by all political enthusiast on Anguilla.  

Their findings however revealed that Mr. Sutcliffe Hodge was screwed most and hardest by every political party on Anguilla before been dumped. As one islander puts it in colloquial terms: “he got laid proper!”

Researchers at Yale’s Political Infidelity Research Institution (YPIRI) in the United States concluded that candidates suffering with Permanent Political Vengeful Syndrome (PPVS), a condition associated with political prostitution, will show signs of grave arrogance, dishonesty and integrity-deficit and will transmit disunity, mistrust, confusion and instability - resulting in an economic derailment or nation disaster. The real danger of being a political prostitute is that such disingenuous politicians are only seeking to satisfy their political whims rather than the interest of the nation.

However, the condition is not debilitating and can be cured by compromising narcissistic behaviours. Most political prostitutes when cured, contribute earnestly to economic growth, stability, and social development of their societies.

ANTICIPATED FIRE AND BRIMSTONE WAS A POP!!

The much anticipated interview between the opposition’s host of the Radio program - On The Spot – and the Hon. Mr. Victor F Banks - deputy leader of government business and present leader of the ruling Anguilla United Front party, was one which has seen added government support and brings much clarity to the destructive accusations propagandised by our Visionless Oppositions.

The Hon. Minister has eloquently acquitted himself fearlessly and accurately to the much surprise of the electorate who anticipated fire and brimstone turns out to be a pop; that even the host of the program was supportive with kudos and condoned most of government’s hard work and initiatives in taking the nation forward.

Much of the oppositions’ concern was the sale by our indigenous bank, National Bank of Anguilla, of a prime and secure beach front property with a hotel at Cinnamon Reef; a property which the Government of Anguilla has indirectly purchased through a subsidiary investment company of the Anguilla Social Security, for the development of a much needed hospitality learning institution... a government of the People, by the People, for the People.

As a single industry economy, the Government of Anguilla is mindful and of the positive view that such an institution is vital to growth and sustainability of this industry and in turn, a vibrant economy.

Anguilla swept the medal board at the TASTE of the CARIBBEAN in June, when a young Anguillian Team confirmed without doubt Anguilla's position as the premier culinary destination in the Caribbean. Team Captain Chef GLENDON CARTY (of Ripples and Cap Juluca), a 35 year old Anguillian gained a Gold Medal for his performance and was subsequently voted overall 'CARIBBEAN CHEF of the YEAR 2009" - a highly respected and sought after accolade.

In his rounds of clarifying much lies, rumours and innuendoes from the destructive Dreamwork Visionless Opposition camps, the Hon. Minister is scheduled to appear on the program – In Your Face – 97.7FM UP-Beat on Saturday evening.

Who Am I?

Realist Spikenice is a fairly taught pragmatic independent thinker who believes in the provocation of realism and concerned issues; with the dissemination of opinions, viewpoints or imaginaries, and maybe some lampooning! I am simply a Realist that spike nicely.

At no point, has the Anguilla United Front Party made contact with me (personally, electronically or post) with contributions of any material disseminating via Anguilla Concerned Rumours; Anguilla Concerned Rumours Facebook Page; or Realist Spikenice’ Facebook Notes.

Realist Spikenice’s independent ‘reality crusade’ started roughly over 2-years in an effort to stimulate and educate the electorate as to the much unwanted and untruthful damaging filth propaganda circulating over the internet by our retired Eastern Caribbean Supreme Court Judge – disgraceful Ian Donaldson Mitchell (Corrupt de-Don) – about our beloved tranquility. All this was at a time when the Oppositions were engaged in his support while destructively destroying our nation home... Anguilla.

If you were a recipient of my emails over the years, you would if attentive, observed my disclaimer which read:

Neither the Government of Anguilla, United Kingdom or the United States of America nor any elected official, member of any opposition party or any law enforcement agency contributed to any part thereof nor is responsible for any such discourse aforementioned or its dissemination. Unauthorised amendments and/or editing and dissemination of this initial discourse are strictly prohibited without my prior written permission and may be unlawful. However, an excerpt(s) may be use for base or expanding discussion.

I therefore request of you, to please let’s be respectful to each other’ intelligence and independent thoughts.

Realist Spikenice believes that voting is not simply about dictating conscience but rather an educational process where on Election Day you are given an examination; the results are your future success... or failure. This ritual or consciously tribal selection process which has plague Anguilla from the dawn of elections must come to an end if we ought to build a successful nation.

No one should vote for these empty vessels Oppositions out of sympathy or a slogan called change, but rather not vote for them because they are clueless, disorganized and destructive for the future growth, development and stability of Anguilla.

Why am I status-quo?

The oppositions do not seem to have ideas, inspirations or individuals who can combine effectively to confront the Anguilla United Front (AUF) brand of democracy. They have almost subordinated their thinking and tactics to the AUF’s rather than being novice in their approach or having no principled stand over any issue.

They are disorganized with deep-seated disunity and mistrust between the groupings.

They have resolved themselves to the party of ‘NO’ at any cost - with the ‘I don’t kNOw’ alternative policy regarding how to solve any nagging problems. There is no coherent alternative approach; instead they all are simply wasting time pouncing on the government on matters of tactics and minor hair-cracks and leaks rather than supplying real solid solutions or some other visionary complement.

How insignificantly more must the Opposition felt, where in the face of its destructive criticisms on irrelevant accusations on government’s fiscal irresponsibility; the United Kingdom Government still find it prudent to complement government’ foresight.

And the NOs go on with the I don’t kNOw alternative or introductory legislation on: the Port Authority; the Proceeds of Crime Bill; the stalled Planning Bill; Employment Protection Legislation with a National Minimum Wage; Consumer Protection Legislations etc.

There are various issues on economic, social and other fronts where the Government does not have clarity of policies. Sadly though, our Oppositions do not have the self-confidence to challenge the government on its all round failures.

An opposition, which wants to persuade the electorate that it ought to be in a position of power, has the obligation to be pragmatistic; come up with real alternative policies, ideas and vision; and must not be devoid of new ideas or creative thinking if they feel that the Government of Anguilla has a poor dismal record.

A failure in all these areas concludes that our Oppositions do not have intellectual clarity, the vision or the political maturity to tell the government that the overall security of the country is intrinsically linked with good governance.

But they brag and boast about their greed assures - their personal achievements through detriments of their victims’ derailments. So what have they done for you lately - never assist always desist, no admiration only rejection. Disunited and disorganized as be; they are not fit to lead neither you nor me.

They have simply sit idle-by - waiting and watching for the government to stumble from one mess to another… then destructively criticize.

Tell me why must I waste my vote on them set of losers?

Teamwork or Dreamwork?

At the end of this silly process of electing Teamwork for continue growth and prosperity for Anguilla, the nation must unite at roundtables to create the opportunities for all Anguillians; and discussions for the liberation and reconstitution of our country. We must enter a new stage of unity and trust, struggle and rebuilding; applying all means necessary, working forcibly to eradicate all destructive forces.

Today, not surprisingly we are in an economic-cleansing called a recession, but the reality is that we are way past a hopelessness-cleansing. Sadly so, this will involve a vital part of our parliamentary democracy – our Dreamwork Visionless Oppositions.

Our way forward must be based on confidence, track record, realizing set objectives - a program mapped out which will serve the interest of all Anguillians. Anguillians have proven over the years that we have the capacity to resolve our own issues ourselves provided that we are given the opportunity to do so without destructive and selfish interferences.

Under sound leadership, the Government and people of Anguilla must hold the firm conviction and stance of our legitimacy and legitimate concerns and speak with one accord, one voice, one song.

This election the choices for leadership couldn’t be simpler: continue stability, growth and prosperity or back to the Stone-Age.

This election… Think.

Wisely!

A near miss for the Government and people of Anguilla

The Diplomatic and Intelligent Community decoded what the United Kingdom (UK) Government signaled via the Hon. Chris Bryant, the UK Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs at the Foreign and Commonwealth Office, this way:

The UK Government expresses confidence in the ruling Anguilla United Front Government in the face of its [UK] rejections to similar BOT’s requests and local Oppositions’ insensitive and senseless, inexperience and destructive criticisms.

The United Kingdom government takes into consideration - that despite Anguilla’s breach on the agreed UK/Anguilla borrowing guidelines, for which the UK Government takes seriously, the UK government is committed to credible partnerships and tried and tested (experience) leadership; prosperity and stability in its territories; and continued good governance and trust established between the Anguilla United Front and the UK Governments.

However, the UK Government foremost takes seriously (emphasis) that the obligation of freedom (independence) is the willingness and ability to stand on our own feet. It reverberates that this can only be realized with immediate and courageous plans to broaden Anguilla's revenue base even in the agony of defeat.

The UK Government further recommended, like the constitution review recommended committees, the use of ‘professional interim consultants’ on incisive advice and actionable recommendations. And with backgrounds in strategy, project management, government and research, and no family ties - they are capable of tackling any task.

Anguillians are still enjoying the luxury of being a tax free nation simply because their government - with the lack of finances, legislation or enforcement - is too weak to intervene in the private affairs of the people. As of such, rather than Orders-in-Council or heavy handedness; interim consultants are less intrusive, affordable, friendlier, and are a ‘more’ flexible way to scale up projects, bring in external expertise and deliver genuine strategic modeling for broadening Anguilla’s revenue base.

It is the absence of such plans, including details on how existing and any further debt will be paid back over the next 3-5 years, and planned changes to Anguilla’s taxation policy, coupled with the Anguilla and UK Parliamentary elections due in 6 months, the British government cannot agree to Anguilla’s entire borrowing request.

The Government of Anguilla and electorate welcome the UK Government strategic intervention and take seriously their administering power concerns.

The Diplomatic and Intelligent Community is of the view in 2009, that if the Oppositions do not have the intelligence to comprehend such diplomacy - then they are ‘not fit for purpose’.

Anguilla Won!

The United Kingdom has expressed its confidence in the ruling Anguilla United Front Government in the face of its rejections to similar BOT’s requests and local Oppositions destructive criticisms. This coded message was sent to the Anguillian Chief Minister, The Hon. Mr. Osbourne Fleming, from the Hon. Chris Bryant, the United Kingdom Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs at the Foreign and Commonwealth Office.

The United Kingdom MP confirmed that despite Anguilla’s breach on the agreed UK/Anguilla borrowing guidelines, the British Government is committed to good governance and the trust established between both governments. However, the UK Government has emphasized that the obligation of freedom is the willingness to stand on your own feet. According to the UK Government, this can only be realized with immediate plans to broaden Anguilla's revenue base even in the agony of defeat.

It is the absence of such plans, including details on how existing and any further debt will be paid back over the next 3-5 years, and planned changes to Anguilla’s taxation policy, coupled with the Anguilla and UK Parliamentary elections due in 6 months, the British government cannot agree to Anguilla’s entire borrowing request.

Anguillians are still enjoying the luxury of being a tax free nation simply because their government - with the lack of finances, legislation or enforcement - is too weak to intervene in the private affairs of the people. However, immediate stringent tax measures must be implemented by our next Parliament no matter which.

Unlike Ian Donalson Mitchell's distasteful and direspectful characterization of the Honourable UK Parliamentarian, Mr. Bryant has demonstrated nothing safe professionalism. This professionalism has baffled our Visionless-Oppositions back to the drawing board… the drawing board of destructive criticism.

Destructive change we can do without.
