Prime Minister Jean Castex announced this afternoon, October 29, 2020, the reconfinement is effective from midnight tonight everywhere in France but only in Martinique with regard to overseas.

Like all the hexagonal territory, the island therefore returns to maximum protection mode against the coronavirus epidemic.

A vigorous effort by defence lawyer Carl Williams to save Lowmans Leeward resident Natasha Allen from a prison sentence, ended in failure at the Kingstown Magistrate’s Court on Wednesday. Allen, 45, was charged with stealing a stainless steel mug valued $28.00 from Jax Enterprises, on October 9. It was only after Allen had spoken to Williams before the start of Wednesday’s proceedings, that he decided to mitigate on her behalf. The woman pleaded guilty, and Williams acknowledged that, “No crime should be considered as trivial.” He said he had an opportunity to look at her record, and, “it appears as…

Fri, Oct 30, 2020 Introduction On October 27th 1979, some 41 years ago, Vincentians threw off the cloak of colonialism, and assumed total responsibility for their own future, and a commitment to work together for the development of this country called St. Vincent and the Grenadines.

Basically, Vincentians have supported the mantra that “we are not better than anyone, and no one is better…
Fri, Oct 30, 2020 ‘Young man, as you peer down the pathway of life toward an unavoidable bald head bordered with grey hairs, it would be well to bear in mind that the cemeteries are full of men this world could not get along without, and note the fact that things move along after each funeral procession at about the same gait they went before. It makes no difference how important you may be, don’t get the idea under your hat that this world can’t get along without you.’ Elbert Hubbard. Next Thursday’s elections pit Dr. Ralph Gonsalves, the four…
The New Democratic Party (NDP) has a clear plan to create new jobs and the determination to build a better St. Vincent and the Grenadines for our future. For too long a lack of economic opportunities has seen many of our people leave for opportunities in Canada, USA, UK and other countries. Many leave our islands and never return. Here in St Vincent and Grenadines our cost of living is rising, and it is hard to make ends meet. We need jobs and incomes to look after our families. In the NDP, we are passionate about building a country that…
Since the advent of the Covid 19 virus we are all advised to make our last will and testament. Anyone of us could go at any time. When we go, there should be no argument over our estate as we should have already determined who should be our heirs forever. Papa inherited the Government from Nancy after that famous walk of Grand Beach Accord notoriety. Rather we should say that he demanded and obtained the portion of goods that would have come to him in due course if he had waited. But like the Prodigal Son, he obtained his portion…
