If Compton placed a jailbird, a drug baron and an errand boy in leadership positions in his cabinet and as role models for all of us Saint Lucians to look up to, what you are describing is quite mild in comparison.
We now have to rebuild our image in the international community with a US convict as our former foreign minister, and a cabinet consciously leaching away money from the national treasury.
We can't have it both ways. We can't use the "national word" sometimes and it's o.k and at other times it's not. While the word is an obscenity, it is uniquely St. Lucian. I don't think one would hear this anywhere else. My main concern is that the children were around to hear it at the matches. But let us not kid oursleves, they hear it at other places too. Other than that, (taking the kids out) I do not think the use of the word at the cricket matches brought any disrepute to St. Lucia. There are many other issues in St. Lucia that cast us in a bad light and I don't think I need to mention these.
A really insightful article, well done the author. I have even heard profanities outside of church, say no more!!!!! Its also disgraceful to hear those abusive words in creole being used against the tourists, one day someone will enlighten them and put it on the worl wide net, see what that does to our beautiful country.

What did you expect?
Why do you want me to comment if you do not post my comment. Stop playing partisan politics.
