Eh Eh !

But all Kenny have to do is put some STEP people to fly up and down on de jet and it weel be full!

But all Phillip have to say is : 'Why you only show the side of de plane dat empty!" De glass half full not HALF EMPTY!

But Kenny only have to hire the hotel workers after dey get fired and put dem in NICE or STEP or as Permanent Secretaries!

So all you never realize that all Kenny and Phillip ever knew was to borrow and spend like drunken sailors!

Since when you all ever knew them to have the ability to grow the tourism industry?

Sadly there is very little any Government can do to improve these numbers.

Hotels are discounting heavily to try to attract business but still the numbers are very low.

The situation is already difficult I expect this season will be quiet for most hotels.

There is no quick fix for this.

CONFUSING NEWS IN THE VOICE

A few days ago the Voice printed on the coverpage the success story:141 apartments sold at Landings, and now you read as of 14 dec.2012 it has been placed in receivership.
Is this a joke of journalism ???

Even as their economies implode because of how they have run countries over the past 30 years liberals and progressives are still continuing their policies of freeness.

Kenny borrows millions to put people like Menissa anf Hillaire in overseas positions. EC$10 million borrowed to cover their salaries and the others in the missions. The foreign minister travels two weeks out of every month at US$300 per day in per diem costs.

Then Phillip and Kenny come in Parliament to complain that after they borrowed $2 billion and bankrupted St. Lucia that there is no money to pay civil servants.

And of course he cannot make agriculture, tourism or manufacturing work and always has an excuse as he borrows more and more.

Phillip Pierre and Kenny borrow to hire people in the civil service, in STEP in NICE just like Obama 'created' 800,000 jobs in his first term but 700,000 were in government and millions have left the work force to go on food stamps. Fro that he borrowsUS$1.5 trillion a year also bankrupting America.

These liberals own and run our societies now and look at the mess they have created.

As an American we don't go to St Lucia anymore because your room rates are so high. Could you afford your prices??? Florida is a better value and it's full of British tourists AS THE ROOMS ARE LESS THAN HALF OF WHAT YOU CHARGE. PALM BEACH SHORES RESORT ON THE OCEAN IS U.S. $189.00 PER NIGHT. You figure it out.

St.Lucians have no one to blame but themselves for removing Chastenet and the UWP government from power, and replacing them with this invisible tourism minister and the SLP.

Be careful what you ask for.....

Sorry. I am a great supporter of the UWP of Sir John Compton.

I know that Phillip and Kenny are useless once you turn off the spigot of borrowed money. They cannot plan,manage of gain any positive results with their hopeless, bungling governance. It is only about what they can get for themselves.

BUT - you cannot expect me to go to the polls and vote for the electorially suicidal fools who ran the last UWP Adminisrration from King to Montoute to Fredericks to that jailbird Bousquet.

I stayed away from the polls in 2011 as did my family as did thousands of St. Lucians ans we ain't going back until you do something about the unskilled, useless opportunists and hangeronss that you have in the leadership of the UWP.

Let Kenny and these hopeless fools stay there till we have some alternatives.

For example you UWP's have that American felon Bruce Tucker in Choiseul and you want to act as if he has left the party.

I can bet that as soon as elections are called you might just see him gathering together a few of the jackasses who support him, he works the constitutiency group to get 'nominated' and he will be back in for elections along with Chastanet , et al.

yuo think we foolish?

And then everybody has to in a bullet-proof vest even while they sleep in their beds. Right?

ISn't that what we were coming to when the drug baron was sitting in the Cabinet of the last administration, with the bow-legged moronic minister telling us that we 'need to go to the next level.'

Yeap! And to the next level we went!

The drug gangs would oblige by taking out a few other more pieces of $#!& like themselves each week, until we had a murder rate of, on average, one murder per week!

When you up there have such frigging $#!& to talk, why not find yourself a rumshop with rolls of toilet paper to wipe your god-damn snout?
