The civil service also represents a large voting block. So they're the last people we can expect to hear criticizing the civil service. <BR/><BR/>It's fine to say we must all raise our voices, blah blah, but the reality of living in a small community is that if you want to get ahead socially or economically you don't go around complaining about everything and acting like an obnoxious self-promoter or calling yourself "The Mayor." Of which we have two more than we need.<BR/><BR/>That leaves the members of the opposition, whose job it is to make noise about things that aren't right. They actually get paid for making noise. Unfortunately, we have one who Hubert accurately called "a lazy boy who didn't know how to run a ministry and spent all his time frolicking at Herbert's" and another one whose fire gon out. <BR/><BR/>So that leaves you, Mr. Mitchell.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37949944.post-30308239683717608892008-11-03T12:37:00.000-04:002008-11-03T12:37:00.000-04:00I also agree with the previous posteer in that whi...I also agree with the previous posteer in that while the Govt and the people cannot do anything directly,they surely can petition the Governor into action.When we remain silent, whether it is out of fear or ignorance,we all suffer.If we raise our voices loud to enough to the Gov't and the Governor we might be albe to force them into actually looking into some of the alleged violation and/or crime committed by our civil servants.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37949944.post-2698600806295951202008-11-01T20:46:00.000-04:002008-11-01T20:46:00.000-04:00Has the Governor done anything at all in his time ...Has the Governor done anything at all in his time here?

Maybe the Ministers do not have the ability to change things but they are on the radio every week and they can bring the public up-to-date on these issues and create such a stir that the Governor would have to do SOMETHING - anything...has he done anything at all in his time here so far?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37949944.post-7681100584148181132008-10-31T11:16:00.000-04:002008-10-31T11:16:00.000-04:00Mr.Mitchell, you are blaming the wrong people. No ...Mr.Mitchell, you are blaming the wrong people. No one in Anguilla has any authority to do anything about anyone in the civil service, only the Governor. Please stop trying to make it sound as if any minister of Government or any other person in anguilla has control over these matters.IT IS THE GOVERNOR WHO IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE CIVIL SERVICE.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
