Comment: I honestly feel that this news is sad, and should have been told about before. jobs are so hard to get in the island right now, what are they going to do. A message to all those who were affected by Marriott decision, be strong and dont give up, God only puts you through the bad for youto get the good !!!!

Comment: Its a burning shame. Look at what happening to our country. Its Only Proper Manners That the Managers for that company should have inform his/her workers of such act. But in another word THEY could affort to do that when deh get so many offerings.. Under Poppa Bradshaw Dem Could have never got so far with there selfish act..... God take time to correct our act..

Comment: Dr. Douglas is a peculiar person, with a big chip on his shoulders. He seems to have a sense of entitlement, and we ought to be glad that someone like Mr. Archibald is not afraid to speak out against this sort of behaviour. Fifteen years is too long for any one party to have continuous power, especially when they are not functioning to their full potential. His control of the critical portfolios is a clear indication of where he is losing clear thinking.

Comment: Some of Marriott staffs i hope they hve some money put aside for a rainy day for as you can can see the economy is slow all over the world .They were making good money there and most of them werent thinking bout a nxt day. So i need to know now wat about the YES program because i read the workforce took on 365 ppls are there going to laid them off or terminate them also.

Comment: washie u need to go praise god nd leave douggie he isa good man to have u up in goverment buliding

Comment: Douglas says he expects more "openess" from the Obama administration. Can you imagine our PM??? According to his own Ministers, this is the most secretive, vindictive and dictatorial Prime Minister. Is this a case of pot calling the kettle black???

Comment: that was great for children to teach them how to express theirselves and the puppets were greaat tto teach them not to be afraid to do something.

Comment: It is rather interesting reading these post and seeing the wide range of support for and against what Washie is doing. The support is split down the middle. For this reason, I would like to add my "two-cents" to this discussion. I am supporting Washie, not for his bashing of the PM, but rather for the objective it is trying to attain. We as a people are blinded by politics and the politicians, know this and are using it against us. For what I see, (don’t get me wrong here, he is my PM too), we are revering him as onto a god. We are in essence digging our own grave. But as Kittitians, that is all we know. There are the few that stands above the rest, but then there are those cannot think logically in a given situation, we must be told how to think, and what to think about. Where is the independence we so celebrate on September 19th every year. We are independent as a "state", but not in our "mind". Bob Marley said it perfectly "…liberate yourself from mental slavery; none but ourselves can free our minds...". This is my wish. You may ask "...bo who he tink he be so, man…soun so stupid"? I must say, after reading this you will think about it, it may wrestle with your conscience for a few moments, but that all it will do for the majority. If you are in the minority....with a warm hopeful smile, I gracefully bow with respect, because your reasoning is what makes my heart quiver with hope. Thank you. Those who know me personally would always here me say "...The grass is wet. Why is the grass wet?" (Think figuratively) I am looking forward to a wave of responses. mnlpb_01@yahoo.com

Comment: you live by the sword so you shall die by it. you incited violence to removed the first prime minster in 1993 now and today u still talking you could incite again but that is not what we want we want to do it with the informational fight not the violence that you so like to incite. mr. washie is an educator so he deserves the school being name after him, but that is how the labour party feels that if they do something for the country first thing are you say is dont forget we did this or we did that but you guys forget progress as a country not as a government. wake up st.kitts we need change of goverment with fresh ideas.
