The government must now come out and address the nation forthwith!
Look, many of us know that the ABLP are absolutely terrified to do this because of the financial accoutrolements that the tourism industry brings to the country.
However, with the ever growing increase in gun crimes, how long will it be before the tourists start voting with their feet and stay away?
Surely they read the news like the rest of us?
Antiguans need reassurance; the tourists needs reassurance; and business needs reassuring as well.
ABLP, COME OUT COME OUT WHEREVER YOU ARE…
