Comment: Shipping + Duty + VAT.....who can afford this??

Comment: Its quite disappointing that these two schools will not be able to participate. However one would have to ask who is really preventing these children from participating, SKNAAA or religious doctrines of the schools? The association is trying to raise the standard of the event. I have long been of the view that activities that involve children should be held on a weekend, so that it allows the parents to be at the activities to see their children participate, as well as to accompany the children who are spectating. Change is difficult but at times people in authority have to make difficult decisions and make sacrifices for the betterment of the whole.

Comment: How many children does she have?

Comment: Weekend is the Best time to have the meets. It will attract more ppl and the children wont have to miss too much school work. Also, parents wud be more able to show their support to their children. We Sunday worshippers sacrifice Sundays for events, it doesnt mean we are not real Christians. Dont let the children suffer SDA school board!!

Comment: World Cup Cricket was here, It was held during the week and it was well attended by all including school children. So how come the Track meet cannot be during the week also. The SKAAA said that children were reaching home late, but let us look at the Interschool last week, it was the same lateness,minutes to 10 children still at the stadium, (SKAAA please organise yourself). The school have a principle and the sponsors, SKAAA & the government should have taken it into serious consideration.

Comment: Reason.....foolish. I am a teacher who is disgusted with the decision made by the organizers. Each school should be able to participate. Last Leeward Games Maurice Hillier produced the fastest U13 male and no telling what they could have done this year. Parents have just bought tracks in vain. And to see hear this is shame on the Organizers. We should have look beyond the spectators and see the real meaning of Inter-Primary.

Comment: PAM did not lose the elections plz stop saying that it was cheated ok

Comment: Let them come home and live here, that would be nice. They all run home to vote, so why not come here and live? Illegal foreigners MUST go. The health and education system is suffering.

Comment: You people are unbelieveable ---- You break the law you bear the consequences. If you are illegal and you get caught, then you go back home, whats the big deal. People they are illegal!!!!! and they eating all the green mangoes, we soon aint gonna get any for ourselves.. lolol. But seriously, have you guys seen the long lines @ 'Western Union' on the weekends, how is this benefiting us?

Comment: Budget presentation will begin with usual preamble: economy is bad, world in recession, “none of the developed countries have come up with the economic vaccine” to cure current economic malaise,and the should say this.The Prime Minister must admit that there are some things his government simply do not know how to fix. The Sand sun and sea are as common as amusement parks and satellite , how do you convince a family to come to St Kitts – where it would cost them three times as much compared to elsewhere? How do we become profitable and competitive in tourism, financial services – how can we promote our agricultural product, when farmers are told that five acre of land is too much for farming.when will they see it costs less to import than it does to produce here? How do we keep manufacturing competitive, when in countries paying slave wages can produce cheaper goods. These are the challenges we face? As the budget presentation progress today, little would be said to answer these questions]. The Prime Minister must understand that the national good must supersede all considerations now is the time for that approach to problem solving. We need as leaders to inspire our population, St kitts depends squarely on us rallying the country behind objectives. No one knows what lies beyond the bend, in fact we have not even seen the bend. The PM should not shy away from making hard or difficult decisions for fear of political or other fallout. The Government must take notice that The national cake has gotten no better. To protect the vulnerable, we will have to take some from the slightly better off. At the end of the day, it is one st kitts and Nevis. The Pm will speak even more preamble about the recession globally etc. Rehashing what we’ve already heard. Likely intended to set the context of the actual budget for VAT, which hopefully will come shortly.
