Could you clarify that last bit. What were you trying to say?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37949944.post-24506948844456712592009-10-26T16:43:47.846-04:002009-10-26T16:43:47.846-04:00Concerning the "news" of Anguilla.

He planned on having a local access channel with local news, but was told that any news broadcast had to be approved verbatim by the government before it was broadcast. Is that still the case? If so, that would explain the reading of pages & pages of non-news: journalism does not exist in Anguilla. Government has it blindfolded and gagged. That is the reason for the gossip network, which frequently has 10 different versions of every story. Freedom of the press is not guaranteed in Anguilla.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37949944.post-55278126533953281972009-10-25T20:34:05.449-04:002009-10-25T20:34:05.449-04:00How disgusting that this GOA has been allowed to u...How disgusting that this GOA has been allowed to use our Social Security money for any purpose except what it was intentioned for. The head of Social Security along with the ministers of government should be relieved of their positions without pay and investigated immediately. All monies taken from Social Security should be accounted for publicly and returned. We should know who got what and why.IT IS OUR MONEY, WHERE IS IT? WHO GOT IT? This has to be worse than the Turks and Caicos. The GOA should have no access to this money for any reason. Who can we turn to, to get our monies back? Why should we pay anymore Social Security until this mess is sorted? What a bad example for our youngsters the GOA is.

"I think this one is worse," he says.<br /><br />But that's not the end of it. The former independent MP thinks that the parties need to start looking towards their front benches if they're to properly cleanse the taint left from the expenses scandal: <br /><br />"But I do think it is going to require the assisted departure of all frontbenchers of both parties” he said.<br /><br />MORAL OF THE STORY: The skunk cannot be used as a mop! <br /><br />This coming election we will do our own cleaning, same as the British people.<br /><br />This message is especially to anonymous # 3. <br /><br />Signed : AnguillianAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37949944.post-3489330204740138382009-10-24T16:41:31.765-04:002009-10-24T16:41:31.765-04:00Where we don't have free advertising, we are i...Where we don't have free advertising, we are inflicted with platitudes. Look at the editorial about crime in the current issue of The Anguillian. Our crusading editor writes, "Week after week, our police report a rising series of burglaries and robberies by youngsters in various parts of Anguilla, while still insisting that the crime level in Anguilla is low when compared with that of other neighbouring islands."<br /><br />Is Nat so blind as not to see that it has been he, himself, who popularised these kind of vacuous platitudes?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37949944.post-27710852761370265292009-10-24T15:56:52.803-04:002009-10-24T15:56:52.803-04:00I feel sure that now we know the GOA has raped us ...I feel sure that now we know the GOA has raped us of our monies at Social Security, the British Government must now make a move and take over the running of our country until we have elected a new government.
