PM ready for Budget critics

PRIME MINISTER Freundel Stuart  says he is ready to battle critics of the 2013/2014 Budget and those who want  to remove his party from Government.
 In a feisty presentation at the opening of the Democratic Labour Party’s 58th Annual Conference  last Friday, he defended Government’s decision to make Barbadians at the University of the West Indies pay their tuition fees and issued a warning  to his political opponents.
“I do not fight battles until I have to . . . . Nobody chooses any battleground for me or the way of battle; I choose them,” he told the gathering at the DLP’s George Street headquarters.
“Let the enemy know that  you are not dealing with a kitten;  you are dealing with a real warrior,” said Stuart, the party’s president. (GA
