Globewriter comments on a Senate debate about a clause of the Children's Bill “involving a clause that includes buggery”; B.C. Pires adds: “The People’s Partnership of UNC [United National Congress] MPs [Ministers of Parliament] yesterday refused, despite urgings from Independent senators, to decriminalize same gender sexual activity between minors - even while ploughing ahead with decriminalizing the same activity between boys and girls. If ever there were a plain human rights issue, sexual orientation is it.”
Further to this, babalu reports that another elderly lady “suffered a fatal heart attack after her home was violently attacked by a paramilitary mob.”
“Bajans deserve the truth, all the truth and nothing but the truth. It is not enough for the Court of Appeal or the news media to gloss over this story”: Barbados Free Press is curious about a case in which a man who bit a police officer apparently got off scot-free.

I am planning to spend a year in Dominica. Can anyone please tell me what rental accomodation are like? What’s the cost of a two or three room apartment, what the apartments are like (i.e., toilet, shower, cooking, )? What about crime? And how much is food and houshold expences for a month?
Any info will be highly appreciated. Thanks.
Sam
I have two accommodations, but there are a wide variety on the island. Cost of living is higher than most Caribbean islands from what surveys have shown, but there are alot of positives which are outside the shopping baskets. There are long term rentals compared to what I offer, so if I am aware of your budget then I can respond with accurate or detailed accommodations.
Take care,
Pepper.
Hello Pepper,
I’d like to know if US$350-400 per month is enough for a 2-3 room apartment (or house) with normal plumbing, indoor toilet, shower, gas cooking, internet connection.
How much should I budget for food if I buy local produce only and cook for myself? I heard that electrity is expensive. How much could it be? How could Dominica be one of the most expensive in the Carribean if it is so poor?
I need a decent place for a year. Is the capital a save and clean place to be? Any suggestions?
Look forward to any and all responces.
Thank you,
Sam
