This is quite chilling (and sadly all too common in sub-Saharan Africa). It has to be commended as brave journalism. It?s not everyday that you read an article on the BBC that ends in the words, ?Even if I die today, those involved will have been exposed.?

It does rather suggest that most doom and gloom, the world's going to pot feelings are basically created and maintained by the press.

"ooh, if it (shot in the head, cute kid kidnapped (or whatever happened)) can happen in paradise....I could be next...nowhere is safe, so many murders in london...*"


And the press just have to keep rubbing the bruise. But then we obviously love to feel outraged and afraid or we wouldn't keep buying the damn papers and gasping "isn't it terrible"


Not to say it wasn't a terrible and senseless event, but you know, I didn't know them it doesn't affect me"


As it happens first stop on honeymoon is Antigua, but not that one.

Although from reading the press it seems that the island?s murder rate has more than doubled over the last 5 years. Which I?m sure is of no small concern for the people who live there.


Knowing precisely nothing about political or social affairs on Antigua I can?t comment any further.

    • Happy to recommend Leon. He supplied and fitted a new bathroom extractor for me. Very quick to quote, fair price, scheduled the work quickly, good communications regarding arrival time on the day, did the job efficiently, and was pleasant to deal with throughout. 
    • It's been suggested that he may be on drugs because some like ecstasy makes one thirsty. Was that why he stole the bottle of water? But what is strange is that he went in via the front door and reached in towards the rear. He then tilted the rear seat backrests forward so that he could reach right into the back. He did this rather than open a rear or the rear hatch. Go figure! It's my wife's car and she says she always, I RPT,  always locks it. Incidentally, our neighbour no longer locks his car because he has had a side window smashed twice now because of thieves breaking in.
