According to Chief of Staff, Lionel Hurst, an expert from the College of Arms, London, came to Cabinet to address improvements and amendments to the laws governing our National Honours and other aspects relating to protocol and our Order of Precedence.
Hurst reports that the government received several documents from the official, who offers his services to several countries in the region at no cost to the countries.
The Chief of Staff said the official will return to Antigua after a visit to St. Vincent, and he will be welcomed back to the Cabinet next Wednesday when the official will make a more fulsome presentation since the Cabinet members will have an opportunity to digest the documents presented.

Notes From A Native Son Of The Rock! “There is not occupation of territory on the one hand and independence of persons on the other. It is the country as a whole, its history, its daily pulsation that are contested, disfigured, in the hope of a final destruction. Under these conditions, the individual’s breathing is an observed, an occupied breathing. It is a combat breathing.” ― Frantz Fanon, A Dying Colonialism!
“Oh Gad” – Joanne Hillhouse! This can’t be Reparatory Justice! “The national bourgeoisie discovers its historical mission as intermediary. As we have seen, its vocation is not to transform the nation but prosaically serve as a conveyor belt for capitalism, forced to camouflage itself behind the mask of neocolonialism. The national bourgeoisie, with no misgivings and with great pride, revels in the role of agent in its dealings with the Western bourgeoisie. ” – Frantz Fanon: The Wretched of the Earth!
When will people of African Descent recover from the investiture of Patricia Scotland as Commonwealth Secretary General to ensure the continuation of Elizabeth and her heirs as Magisterial Monarchs! “This lucrative role, this function as small-time racketeer, this narrow-mindedness and lack of ambition are symptomatic of the incapacity of the national bourgeoisie to fulfil its historic role as bourgeoisie. The dynamic, pioneering aspect, the inventive, discoverer-of-new-worlds aspect common to every national bourgeoisie is here lamentably absent. At the core of the national bourgeoisie of the colonial countries a hedonistic mentality prevails—because on a psychological level it identifies with the Western bourgeoisie from which it has slurped every lesson.” – Fanon
38 years ago, we accepted their Constitution, Heraldic Symbols and other alien trappings including Rule “Britannia! Britannia rule the waves Britons never, never, never shall be slaves.”
38 years of Independence, still dependent on Britain to build our very own solid Institutions and a Caribbean Civilization! “It mimics the Western bourgeoisie in its negative and decadent aspects without having accomplished the initial phases of exploration and invention that are the assets of this Western bourgeoisie whatever the circumstances. In its early days the national bourgeoisie of the colonial countries identifies with the last stages of the Western bourgeoisie. Don’t believe it is taking short cuts. In fact it starts at the end. It is already senile, having experienced neither the exuberance nor the brazen determination of youth and adolescence.” ― Frantz Fanon, The Wretched of the Earth
