Britain Deporting Caribbean Nationals

-

Early Caribbean Immigrants in Britain The British government is considering deporting criminals to the Caribbean. It seems that they are so hell bent on repopulating the Caribbean with the criminal element that ,they are prepared to build jails in our islands, rather than imprison Caribbean people in Britain. We are now left to wonder if these criminal elements are actually Caribbean nationals or British with Caribbean backgrounds. However, this should not shock us because the USA already deports Caribbean nationals when they run afoul of the law. We have not heard the USA suggest it builds prisons for us but it may not be too distant in their thoughts.  They prefer to give us prisons rather than schools, lower income housing and health facilities.

The Caribbean Region Must Import More

One Caribbean Nation. ‘TWO-PRONG ATTACK’ ‘INCREASE IMPORTS, BOOST ECONOMIC GROWTH THROUGH STABLE EXCHANGE RATES’ — WORRELL By Emmanuel Joseph In a move that upends decades of thought in economics on managing developing countries like Barbados, the former governor of the Central Bank of Barbados has proposed that the region import more. Dr Delisle Worrell suggested increased imports as part of bold policy reforms focused on currency stability, arguing that only these measures will unlock sustained foreign investment and lift the Caribbean out of decades-long economic stagnation. Economists in the region have long argued against increasing imports, fearing consumer demand would invariably drain foreign reserves and weaken a country's capacity — or will — to grow GDP through domestic industrial development and exports. But in his latest monthly newsletter, Imports Sustain the Quality of Life in the Caribbean, Dr Worrell, who also consulted for the International Monetary Fund and World...
