Essentially Japan hunts hundreds of whales in our waters every year... including endangered species... and the Antiguan Government is 100% supportive of this massacre. Tourists to the Caribbean come here for many different reasons, but many flock here to view these beautiful creatures which generates revenue for the area... are we not concerned that they are being slaughtered?

Many were invited and it was featured on the Observer Radio News and in their paper yesterday. No officials were invited to speak in an official capacity but the meeting was open for all to come and take part. (no officials came with the exception of a very interesting female police officer who is part of a new youth program). There were loads of notes taken and we will do a proper report and ...

Facebook isn't the place for propper discussion because of the format. Let's try here again: When the UPP launched their political "Blue Wave" campaign last week they spent a whole bunch of time saying how good they were and how bad the ALP were. They called them names, and the one I liked the best was when Wilmoth Daniel called one of the ALP guys an IDIOT. He kept on saying it in his coarse and ...

From what I hear, this is all, and only, political - and completely unnecessary. Hadeed's power is cheaper than the power that the Chinese plant will supply.
