Bassy - Love Vine
November 28, 2025

Bridget!! Me can’t See-down, see-down!

NOW DIS ARTICLE is being written Wednesday, before the electshuns Thursday, hours before anybody even voted or should have voted. But last Thursday evening, Lie-Za attended de NDP’s “Thanksgiving and Manifesto Rally” at Kearton’s Playing Field.

She is Christian eh, very spiritual and hooked on Gospel Music.

At de meeting, she became very emotional.

Firstly, wid de T’n’T Gospel singer. And den when our very own Inter-nahshun-all Gospel Queen, Bridget Blucher was on stage, de meeting shifted to higher gear, when Bridgette raised dat all powerful voice of hers, and began to sing : “ Me can’t see-down, see-down; I see-down! De crowd dat was in full party mood, suddenly switched into praise’n’ worship wailing, as de Holy Spirit took full control.

Dey was peace and calm and outpouring of blessings; of Love and call foh healing among thousands of young people present.

Lie-Za swear dat was no ordinary spiritual encounter, she literally felt ah wave of change taking place! And dat is her testimony!

But all ah dat aside- she is always up to miss-shift eh. She suggest dat she and I publish we own predictshun even after. At least we have no bets at steak! at least we can compare or scores wid de Go-venommint rigged machines.

First to begin, she pulled her three (3) most pop-yuhlaw (over-all) canned-dates: “Fry-day, Shallow and Shevern John!” Ah told her nothing go so, start from de north and come down. She countered me by saying dat she and Grampa sat down and came up wid ah list ah winners.

Top of her list she has Chatoyer’s great-granddaughter, Cheverne in North Windward. Ah told her dat ah know her next pick is NDP (Shallow) in North Leeward, she said dat was Grampa’s choice, and as ah matter of fact she said:“Grampa gave NDP de three (3) Leeward seats! as well as de three (3) Kingstown seats- “Cummings, Lay-cock and Bramble!” Ah started to count wid my fingers, when ah reached seven (7), she said seven plus de two (2) NDP Grenadines seats.

Ah asked her if she telling me him-fatty-kill-he dat NDP done win de electshun 9 to 6, and if she’s not afraid dat dey will lock up she and Grampa, she said: “ Not at all! And is No way ULP could win six (6) seats in dis elect-shun.”

Immediately she jumped into ah tan-trum, saying dey’s ah penalty foh ah sin called “Pull-it-tekill wretch-rebuke-shun” waiting patiently foh dem politish-shuns who “sitback” quietly in Par-liarmint, raised absolutely no object-shun, actually voted yes, to de passage of all dem oppressive laws, greedy Bills, draconian vax-seen man-dates dat would have caused and still causing excruciating pain and hardship, physical and mental suffering to aino-saint

people. Lie-Za is bitter, she say dat ULP will prefer not to win five ah de six remaining incumbent seats dat dey held, namely: “East and West St George, Marriaqua; South and North Central Windward!” And den she said early, early, NDP was leading in three ah dem remaining six (6) seats. Sis Lavern Velox, Bruce, and John. In other words if all goes according to dey pre-dick-shuns, Lie-Za and Grampa should be celebrating on de streets singing: “Me Can’t seedown! see-down!see-down. And wid dat is gone ah gone again.

One Love Bassy
