Slum Development

Slum at Mariners. Whatever happened to Anguilla? First, I learn about our importation and use of slave labour. Human trafficking was not enough. Now, we have to turn a derelict hotel into Anguilla’s first slum?

The dolphin prison people imported Mexican slaves into Anguilla to relocate their pens and animals from Barnes Bay to Sandy Ground. Where to house them? Why, in the abandoned hotel at Sandy Ground, of course. The fact that the buildings are rat holes, there is no electricity or water, no sewage disposal, no kitchen facilities, are not a problem. It is not as if we have any health regulations in Anguilla. Here, there is no one with the authority or credibility to insist that minimum standards are maintained. Besides, they are Mexicans, hardly human beings at all. So, have a look at the photos below. This is how we allow their employers to house and maintain them. Click on any photo to see the scene in its full glory.

Great going, Anguilla. Chalk up another victory for crass profits over humanity. Anguilla leads the way again.
