Comment: This Federation is headed for a rude awakening if things don't change! I am a white man who has been coming here since 1964. I have many good friends, mainly on Nevis and I know they agree with me that Their Island has gone from "Nevis Nice" to "Nevis Not Nice Nevis Nasty". The Crime problem is riding the back of many (not all!) ofthe young male youths who no longer wave back or return a hello; they just give a smirk and hateful gaze. THIS as strongly as the unaddressed crime is what will destroy the Ferderation. Tourism, as much as some seem not to want, is what is needed for Income! To those who want expats to leave, remember the saying "watch what you wish for, you just might get it" after 47 years of loving it here and having such joy and good friends, I am planning my exit. To those I love: I always will. For those not addressing the problems (meaning the leaders), the disappointment is deeper than you think and the result could be devastating; as Jamaica saw with it's crime wave. They have had one of the highest ad budgets for thirty years to bring tourist back, and it STILL doesn't work. When you lose us, you lose us!
Up to the Local to speak up like this and then up to the leaders to get to work on the problems!!!! |
