More mediocre has been the public buy-in while at the same time expressing surprise at the trending incidents of serious crime in Barbados. The blogmaster is perplexed by the public outcry regarding an elderly man being abused by a young hooligan on Belmont Road last week, yet there is no similar uproar about the number of elderly citizens being abandoned at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital (QEH) by family members. True ‘leadership within’ therefore MUST be represented by those who take on the CRITICAL role of bringing TRUTH, HONESTY, TRANSPARENCY and WISDOM to the lotta brass bowls – with the hope of getting the WHOLE SOCIETY to wake up and put themselves in a position to DESERVE the kind of leadership of which you speak.
