“A sad tale of incompetence… warning flags ignored for a decade…”
An excellent CNC3 Television programme from October 2010 if for no other reason than to see some of the panelists squirm.
“Why should taxpayers bailout naive or greedy investors?” Good question!

Barbados rated #2 just behind New Zealand
Out of 50 Commonwealth countries in the just released report “Because You’re a Girl – Growing up in the Commonwealth”, Barbados stands near the top as a good place to be a girl growing up. Compared with so many other countries, Bajan women have opportunities and equality with men in every area of life – according to the study’s sponsors: Plan International and the Royal Commonwealth Society.
That’s not to say that there aren’t some things that need changing or work, but it’s good to see international recognition and confirmation that Bajan girls and women have every opportunity to be the best that they can be, and that our society recognizes and promotes the ideology that women are full citizens and deserve equal rights and opportunities with men.
