Barbados Free Press reports that even the St. Vincent Prime Minister is concerned about the “sloppy service” of LIAT, a main regional carrier, while Notes from the Margin says: “In an environment of soaring air fares a Trinidadian entrepeneur has taken up the challenge of providing affordable inter island transport.”

I see this interesting report which backs up the SVG Prime Minister. I wonder the real reasons for the harassment of people in transit by Barbados immigration? I wonder if it is spying for the usual masters, Barbados known as Little Britain, or just trying to divert tourists to local hotels in exchange for a commission? Perhaps others could leave some comments on the bottom of htat article too: http://mathaba.net/news/?x=565878
