Mavis Beckles has an opnion on everything:
"Criticise, but don’t pull down"
"YOU WOULD REMEMBER me telling you last week that I was going to continue talking ’bout the many things happening in Barbados that does really make you feel like screaming or lambasting somebody? The things that does mek ya sick. Anyway, you know just what I mean. The many things that does make ya blood boil.
"Now c’dear, I ain’t saying that ya shouldn’t criticise, but my Lord, man, that ain’t criticism. That is castigation. That is destroying. That is killing off, that is dissing, that is dehumanizing, man. ... Criticise, but don’t demoralise, people.
"Ting, them things ain’t right, and the next time I clap my two eye pon that Harold Hite, I gine lay a very serious complaint ’bout the kinda people he got writing fuh he paper."
