It got testy at times in Parliament yesterday. Especially when the Prime Minister, Gaston Browne, took to the floor to chide and chastise the member from Barbuda, Trevor Walker, for being an obstructionist and for misleading the people of Barbuda. He addressed the gallery of Barbudans in a rather pointed manner, and many times declared words to the effect that he will never be afraid to ‘speak truth to power,’ and neither will he speak in this country with ‘fear or favour.’ He derided the member from Barbuda for entering parliament to shed crocodile tears, and he challenged him to be a man and stand up and cease whining like a “cry-cry-baby.” He even went so far as to question the good MP’s christianity.

“We cannot have development in Barbuda unless the land issue is settled and for that to happen Barbudans must have control of the lands on the island.”
