Soomer is a blasted waste of time.
Barbara Jacobs-Small came out sounding more like the "Ambassador" than the Soomer woman.
You talk about a square peg in a bloody round hole.
Moving from the Eastern Caribbean Central Bank to Ambassador for CARICOM? How do you juxtapose these two? And who the heck is the behind the scenes "instigator" to that kind of crap.
e all know what is behind the scenes. Nothing; oh nothing is a secret in these parts.
What these policy planners fail to take into account is that it is very difficult for people on the ground to see the significance of OECS integration if it doesn't impact them where they live. Most people's daily needs/concerns are for housing, food, finances to pay bills and provide for their children, job security, adequate and affordable health & medical services.
When these concerns have been adequately addressed, then perhaps the general populace will turn their attention to other things. Until then these OECS talk-shop initiatives will be seen as just that: a talk-shop, which is very far removed from the everyday reality of the people on the ground.

free movement of peoples is a bad thing. We need to be able to control who comes. It's the right of every nation to decide that.
God, they liked to be called "Dr. This, Dr. That; Sir par-ecee, Sir Par-lar"...with nothing of substance to show for the accolades!!
