Prime Minister Gaston Browne says he feel betrayed by at least two of his regional colleagues who have stopped him from putting the issue of a replacement for LIAT on the table. Browne revealed today that even before two recent meeting on the question of LIAT, side deals were being made about the fate of the airline. “I was surprised that during the meeting that certain deals were cut without even notifying me as a significant shareholder in LIAT. I don’t believe the prime minister of Dominica was consulted either,” Browne told Pointe FM. The prime minister says on two…

What have they done to us? What scars have they left? I am still groping in the darkness! Where is the light? We are all aware of the many ills of slavery that the Black race has endured for more than 400 years. So, here we are today, still having to fight for our survival, still having to live in fear and uncertainty, even in our own home, still having to endure the brutal and deadly force of Police. They have had their knee on our neck and we still cannot breathe. Many of my Black Brethren have had experiences…
The 2020 elections are rapidly approaching. Gonsalves loves December elections. We offer 2005, 2010 and 2015 election cycles as proof. He repeatedly said the elections will be called before year-end. Constitutionally due March 2021, Vincentians can expect to go to the polls later this year. Last Saturday we made the following post: ‘The 2020 elections in SVG is too early to call as opposed to too close to call. If you are a betting man, the best you can safely say is ULP 6, NDP 4. Don’t assume that either side will easily get the coveted 8 victories necessary to…
In separate meetiings with workers and their trade union representatives this week, I assured them of this. LIAT employees have not received salary since March and in recent days, news surfaced about the possible liquidation of the airline because of its growing financial problems which have been exacerbated by the pandemic. Members of Cabinet are of the opinion that we have a moral responsibility to assist workers during this difficult time. It is not their fault that they are suddenly and unceremoniously relieved of jobs after years of dedicated service and sacrifice. We have therefore committed to ensuring that they…

One Vincentian politician’s observation has prompted what some are calling religious censorship here. “That broadsided attact at the Calder SDA Church last Sabbath was not a sermon but a serious political speech” [sic], were the words that appeared on one Facebook account supposedly belonging to South Windward MP Alphaeus Fredrick Stephenson on Wednesday June 29. This social media published criticism of Seventh Day Adventist Elder Branson Thomas’ exhortation to his congregation is believed to have motivated the church’s webmaster, Dave Baptiste, to restrict public access to view the offending sermon on its YouTube platform, within minutes of the post.

London – Britain will end novel coronavirus (COVID-19) quarantines for people arriving in England from more than 50 countries, including Germany, France, Spain and Italy – but not the United States – the British government said on Friday. The move, effective July 10, clears the way for millions of British tourists to take summer holidays without worrying about being quarantined when they return. Those arriving from higher risk countries will still have to self-quarantine for 14 days under a rule which has angered airlines and travel companies. Prime Minister Boris Johnson’s government had debated for days how to ease the…
