Stop the rot between Jamaica and Trinidad and Tobago

Trinidad has a festering fishing problem with Barbados that has gone on for nearly 20 plus years. Not strange that it has problems with Jamaica too.

The first point of order is for ALL CARICOM Governments to adhere to the Treaty. There can be little unity and advancement in the community if certain members (e.g. T&T) continue to take a zero-sum rather than positive sum approach to relations.

Wasn't CARICOM supposed to make us more competitive internationally as a region? The existing zero-sum thinking is not helpful because other than oil, T&T doesn't sell it's manufactured products internationally as they are not competitive on a global scale!

TNT continues to use Barbadian fishermen having strayed into their waters with engine trouble, for target practice and afterwards puts them in their jail house.

As a caribbean national living outside the caribbean; I am very happy to see trinidad taking a stand. All Jamaica does is to EXPORT crooks and criminals to every body else's country.

And every nation on earth is fed-up with Jamaicans and do not want them in their countries.

In fact; they are giving the rest of the caribbean a terribly bad name.

I hate it when I am asked if I am from Jamaica.

These folks are lawless, deceptive; liars and crooks par excellence.

GOOD RIDDANCE to them ALL.

Both rich members of CARICOM are rich in natural resources. TNT has oil. They boast that oil 'Keyan spoyl'.

Jamaica exports ganja oil. The whole world is buying dat.

speaking from europe, caribean countries should not follow the EU like it is. If a country doesn't want some people to come, then so be it. What will happen is that some countries sell a passport, then that person can go anyway. It's already happening in Europe with some of the smaller countries buying a passport in Cyprus to get access to UK, France, Germany. RONALD - what you say to that??????

Fix the damn economies! That what politicians are paid to do. And you nitwits will not say that they have neither the intelligence or the training to do any of this.

You damn fools believe that by merely coming together you will all cover up your shortcomings where hardly any PM knows or shootshaters know their #$#%@&! from their friggin elbows about managing the situation properly.

You blame the poor working of CARICOM or OECS for the region not working. The region is like the Commonwealth. The common thing is poverty whilst the government ministers make a ton of money shooting crap by the boatload. For the ordinary man in the street, this friggin miserable regional crapshoot stopped making Goddamn sense a very long time ago.

Let them go to war and spill some blood to settle this matter. Their leaders both might just accidentally gain some maturity in the process.
