MITCHELL,<br /><br />There is documented evidence that there was a plot by the British Foreign office to deliberately permit the United Front Government to bankrupt Anguilla. Then, the British would have stepped in with a loan. The Anguillians would have been grateful to the British and all the talk about self-government would have been over.<br /><br />Unfortunately for the plotters in the Foreign Office, the world economy crashed, and Britain was in a worst financial mess than they had put Anguilla in. Also, since St.Helena was calling for an airport which the British could no longer afford, they could not very well play the trump card with Anguilla.<br /><br />The British allowed the United Front Government to give itself and the entire civil service a 75% increase in salary over the 9 years that it has been in office. The United Front “big boys” turned government into a business for themselves, their friends and family and the Governor/British encouraged it, with the appointment of lame political hangers on as special assistants and political advisors.<br /><br />I agree with Mr. Hubert Hughes that Britain should be charged with mal administration!<br />Also, IN MY OPINION that 75% salary increase is THEFT!<br /><br />Seriously Mr. Mitchell, when will the British stop playing these wicked colonial games on innocent island people? WE want the British to be investigated!!!!!<br /><br />Signed: ANNOYEDAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37949944.post-78693365397190391532010-02-07T18:01:06.488-04:002010-02-07T18:01:06.488-04:00I remember Canty with fondness.

I remember all the activity surrounding the public involvement in the designing and choosing of a flag and seal for Anguilla, which, if I recall correctly, was an initiative of his. I remember Petty and I were involved on his committee. I no longer remember who the others were.idmitchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08966173951425644722noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37949944.post-26625504790518037082010-02-07T16:17:28.958-04:002010-02-07T16:17:28.958-04:00Former Governor Canty did serve in the Royal Navy ...Former Governor Canty did serve in the Royal Navy for a few years, but was a career diplomat in the foreign service for 21 years.

Allan Hoole was a friend of mine, but he was a provincial solicitor by profession, even if a good one. Brian Canty, was, I believe, a retired naval officer. I sorry, my memory going. But, this does not put either of them in the ranks of Huckle and Harrison who are top-ranked FCO operatives.idmitchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08966173951425644722noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37949944.post-67029748126148463982010-02-05T20:17:39.796-04:002010-02-05T20:17:39.796-04:00Upgrading the quality of OT Governors is the resul...Upgrading the quality of OT Governors is the result of complaints from the Foreign Affairs Committee, and the political and economic disaster in TCI.<br /><br />Roberts is a decent chap who doan allow no stupidness.
