Nothing about the Massive Land Fraud? Tony Best must also be in control of that newspaper also. Seem like News is really just for the rich crooks to control, This means person can also be defrauded when landing in Barbados to buy land with out CLEAR TITLE,,, Fraud is the order of the Day Buy nothing until the DLP/ BLP is removed,,,
Barbados is shining example of “land grabbing” to “profiteering”…
Capitalistic greed.!
Barbados is desperately in need of ” Land reformation” …politically.
Leasehold V freehold.
Leasehold remains the property of the state.
Freehold abolished.
This is not “communism” in today’s world …..it is a fairer distribution of
“Wealth” in a society riddled in corruption.
First act of parliament of newly elected MP is to change the laws on land
ownership/titles.
Land allocated according to “useage” returned to state if not used for purpose lease granted.
In UK today any local government can “compulsory” purchase land/property
if “useage” is required for other development with astronomical cost to taxpayers/purchasers of land/property at ” market prices”…..
With nearly 70 million pop land/property is at a premium.
If the trend in bajan ex uk continues my question is ……Where are these bajans migrating to ? Barbados ? Doubt it !😈
My two cents
Just found out that 2% of the population of Ipswich is Bajan! Who knew and more to the point, why? Ipswich is a wonderful and picturesque town with a long history of seafaring and shipbuilding yet that does not explain the preponderance of Bajans. Bajans in London are like shy forest creatures, you never meet a one so how come they all went to Ipswich and Suffolk? Curious, any info welcome!
