POLITICAL TERRORISM.
That was how Minister of Education Ronald Jones described the treatment meted out to former Barbados Labour Party (BLP) politician Dr Maria Agard.
On Sunday night, the Christ Church West MP was expelled from the BLP after months of controversy.
Jones, while speaking at a joint St Philip Democratic Labour Party (DLP) branch meeting at Hilda Skeene Primary School, warned Barbadians that “if the [BLP] can do to one of their own what they have done to [Dr Agard], what do you think they will do to you”?
“Today I sing not her song, I am just making a point. They are practising terrorism – we talk too soft and we dance around what is the truth. Let this be an example for all Barbados; let it be a message that ricochets across the length and breadth of Barbados.” (SDB Media)
