  1. ??? $75m loan from a FRIENDLY GOVERNMENT???
    – Name of government please
    – Loan terms please
    – What has A&B given the friendly government for this loan?

    UWI very crafty, they don’t take out massive foreign loans, they expect their landed campus governments to do so, and so be saddled with ever increasing debt.

  2. Us it the government headed by Robin and Barrett?
