  2. CC, YOU ARE A FACILITATOR OF WRONG DOING AT THE PORT & YOU ARE WITHOUT SPINE LIKE A WORM. YOU ARE A USER OF A&B. IN EFFECT YOU ARE BEING USED BY A NO GOOD GOVERNMENT. YOUR TIME WILL COME.

  3. His time will come but he can always ride off into the Indian sunset with the bag of cash he just made from the Antiguan tax payers.

    All customs officers from the head to the last hire should be investigated by a recognize international forensic auditing team.

    Give them a 25% incentive of cash returned to the treasury plus their salary. The team should have powers of arrest and prosecute .

    He said the man is recovering what does that mean, will he loose a lower extremity?

  4. My Gosh the comments do make us look like a bitter set of people. Had to state that thank God we live in a country where most of us if we are honest, still think of as home. A home which many other Caribbean residents, would wish to have its blessings. We even have persons, like the comptroller of customs, who though born in India, consider A&B home. We have had persons who though born in the US and UK of none A&B parents, who consider A&B home. We have tourists who time after time, return to A&B, because they enjoy the peace and tranquility it provides In, the words of Dr. Ramsey, there are many of us contrary to the uttering of the bitter, who are indeed proud to be Antiguan
