The DD are here to stay and will forever change Blowing Point and Sandy Point, howver, we have to take an objective view of it, if ever we can, and try to make this a workable situation. Despite this, we still have to be vigilant to figure out a plan to bring them down. This might take some time and careful investigation but be not dismayed it can be done.<BR/><BR/>This is our island in the sun and we will do whatever we can to preserve that.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37949944.post-23309859245596865272008-02-10T12:42:00.000-04:002008-02-10T12:42:00.000-04:00Sounds like the showers are a good idea - At least...Sounds like the showers are a good idea - At least folks will be able to shower off the "poop" before getting back on the ferry!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37949944.post-49471373497689934682008-02-10T10:48:00.000-04:002008-02-10T10:48:00.000-04:00In response to the story about showers and toilets...In response to the story about showers and toilets for the locals.What are the implications here?Is it that the locals do not have toilets and showers in their own homes?

The Sandy Point beach was as pristine as any in Anguilla and I enjoyed frolicking there with friends and family. However, I now know that I wont be able to do so anymore and that I have the GOA to thank for that. Why is it that the Gov't appears to place more interest in the ambitions and aspirations of these foreign businesses or businessmen then concern for the welfare of its own people? Money is not an end unto itself and should be treated as a means to facilitate continued economic growth. In this respect, we need to carefully consider the various programs and projects that are sent our way. Proper planning and research studies must be conducted by worthy professionals who have the proper credentials needed to undertake such an assignment.<BR/>I know that this is in retrospect but these outrageous actions being perpetrated by the GOA are suspect. Why is this happening ? What are the fringe benefits or enticements? Who is profiting from these unilateral decisions? Is this another corruption scheme where the GOA is again being used as pawns in a crooked business venture to the detriment of Anguilla and its people?<BR/><BR/>These are some hard and serious questions that have to be posed and deserved to be answered?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37949944.post-29412926344954145352008-02-04T22:30:00.000-04:002008-02-04T22:30:00.000-04:00Guess no more swiming or picnicing down there anym...Guess no more swiming or picnicing down there anymore unless you want to do so in Dolphin pooh and get sick in the process.<BR/>Hubert what have you to say?You seems to be able to talk about everything else well?Where is you voice?You will never ever get my vote you should be sent to Dog Island to live with the goeats and sheep for all I care you useless blabering imbecile.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37949944.post-61441180731101768922008-02-04T11:35:00.000-04:002008-02-04T11:35:00.000-04:00We used to swim and dive there.

We have a rogue Govt' who it seems believes that they are empowered to impose their will on the people of Anguilla without penalties. This should be viewed as a wake up call to make all Anguillians aware that it is time to relieve them of their posts in Gov't and to institute the change that is now painfully obvious.<BR/><BR/>It is time that the people come to grips with the idea that Hubert no longer represents their interests and withdraw their support from him. The people of Anguilla and Blowing Point, especially, should not stand idly by and allow this craziness to continue. It really is a let down for the locals and the country as a whole for the Gov't to act so irresponsibly.<BR/><BR/>We have to raise up and fight the powers that be and boot these jokers out before they come up with another crazy scheme such as the DD circus.

Looks very hi-tech.<BR/>This weeks Anguillian has some letters to the editor where the Dolphins are referred to as fish. A little education seems to be needed on Anguilla's national symbol. The Dolphins in question are warm blooded mammals, not the Dolphin fish, aka Mahi Mahi, that we all love to eat. Maybe if people realize they are not fish, more interest will be shown for their plight.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37949944.post-26682402575560326652008-02-03T10:25:00.000-04:002008-02-03T10:25:00.000-04:00I find it infuriating that the Government is showi...I find it infuriating that the Government is showing blatant disregard for the facts - The environmental chaos, the horrible living conditions the dolphins will be in, the backwinding of our tourism plan (ie Low volume, High quality) and most insultingly the will of the people!
