We elected Josie in 1979, to put policies for the benefit of the country, he and Odlum decide to go back to the market steps to make more noise. They break up the government to put back Compton into office. He was also a government minister in the UWP government, he never formulate any policies. Now he want talking about policies, it is to late now Josie.

You were in hibernation - why did you came out? Winter is not done yet!

What did you, Josie, did or accomplished when you were a government minister. Why didn't you applied all your formulas then!! PLEASE STAY IN HIBERNATION, AND DO NOT COME BACK.

Some people are better at policies on the outside than on the inside LOL. Josie seem to be one of them.

The journalists should try to find out where the guns that came into St. Lucia between 1978 and 1981 are hidden. The people they question about that are Peter Josie and Mikey Pilgrim. let's see if anything will happen.

They should also not to try, but find out, what are the illiterate people they (Josie and company) were training with guns are doing now. Are they now or ever were part if the criminal industry in St Lucia? Over to you Josie!

These issues / allegations are old history now; I too can be shamed by my own past behaviour.

On the other hand, I'm not convinced that a posse of journalists having access on demand to police records is a very good idea.....for instance, how would the names that might appear as "in association with" be dealt with? I wonder if the writer has some more proactive suggestions rather than a hunt?

The inescapable fact is that although St Lucia has the potential for everyone to progress, it's falling onto its own sword by way of the crime rate.

How about starting at grass roots? Here's a thought: You work in, let's say, constuction. You'll be very aware that your power tools will, eventually, be stolen. But if people didn't buy tools which they know are likely to have been stolen, the market for stolen tools and in turn, theft would diminish. Additionally, there's a reasonable chance that at some point you'll buy you own tools back.

Resisting temptation now will pay rewards for you and your children in the long run.

Most of the stolen goods from St Lucia is taken to ST Vincent to be exchanged for pot. What mostly sold in St Lucia are stolen fruits and vegetables.

I suggest that police always go to the Drug Baron's pot market and warehouses with ski masks and bulletproof vests. Let the police be protected.

Dat full is so full of it. They elected that one too?

Peter, we still have a constitution and legal system operating in St. Lucia. Our present circumstances are due in great part to a lack of accountability. A legal position of AG still exists and we have a DPP in office. Assuming that the holders of these two offices are grossly incompetent, who is authorized/empowered/willing and or able to take the necessary remedial action? Mind you, I am not calling the current holders of these offices incompetent, but supposing they are, what different results would one expect to see in the administration of justice and operation of the police force?
As for your suggestion, just suppose that a murderer were to be identified as a result of your reporters intervention, what would happen next? Would we try the perpetrator before a journalist court? Get serious man.
Look at Egypt today. Must it take total chaos and public protest for our leaders in society to take action? In the face of all this talk about crime in St. Lucia I was searching for a response however minute from our PM or minister with responsibility for the police, the only statement I got was that PM King was promising his full support behind Carnival!!! Go figure.

Some very good points Mr. Josie but forget about our journalists. They all subscribe to the liberal, progressive, socialist view of the world that has destroyed our black societies.
Think of all the things you have recommended in your columns. Invariable these are conservative positions based on Judeao Christian foundations and these do not mesh with the liberalism of our local press.

They could not see a good politician if he/she came up and smacked them in the face because their criteria for leadership is as screwed up as the rest of those influenced by american liberalism and progressiveism Look at Guyana, Trindad(where everything goes) or Jamaica(where the rude boy attitude reigns) . All failing states adhering to liberalism.
so forget about any assistance from local journalists in assisting with governance. They could not recognize it and cannot even comment on it.

The crime situation is St. Lucia's way of joining the rest of the failed states in the Caribbean.

First we elected failed characters and personalities and other social failures. They cyan get a job other than in politics. They have no work experience that that help them do any kind of ministerial work. There is no transfer of skills. Sorry. Sorry. If you do time in a penitentiary in the US you have job experience. That is operating under a false identity and expert lessons on how to become a crook. People who make a living out of the carnage on our streets. Getting a paycheck from each worker in the drug 'pyramid' scheme.
