Will Pierre take a tip from Glen Beck? By Rick Wayne

Will Pierre take a tip from Glen Beck? By Rick Wayne

There is no escaping the bad news: all over the world, people’s lives are being torn apart by prejudice, whether political, religion- or race-based or both. The sad story applies in Iraq, in Afghanistan, Africa, the United Kingdom and more than ever in the United States—the putative cradle of democracy and personal freedoms—with the country’s [...]

Is Vigie our new Field of Dreams?

The re-opening of Vigie Playing Field on Sunday afternoon was indeed a proud moment for the Castries Football Council (CFC) and the St Lucia Social Development Fund (SSDF) through Hope, who spear-headed what many thought was the impossible dream.

Is that God in Richard Frederick’s corner?

Three years ago today most people would have bet that Richard Frederick was going down. Less than a year after the December 2006 victory that put Flambeau back in office, Frederick was practically on the political chopping block.

Have Rick and Kenny buried the hatchet?

Have Rick and Kenny buried the hatchet?

In this my third and final article in a series about Rick Wayne’s Lapses & Infelicities, I will refer to the author as Rick and the former prime minister Dr Kenny D. Anthony by his first name, based on my historical association with and proximity to both gentlemen. In that regard, I offer apologies—to no [...]

Is there any prize money for Carnival winners?

Is there any prize money for Carnival winners?

We’re really not sure what it is! Maybe it is because all participants have come to the consensus that since it was such a “lapo” carnival that no one really expects to get paid. Or maybe some are still waiting to be detoxified from all the spirit of Saint Lucia that was on offer in [...]

Darren’s outta the game!

St Lucian soil and his model girlfriend. Have we narrowed the search down enough for you? Yup… you guessed it! West Indian cricket player Darren Sammy is set to tie the knot with his girlfriend of several [...]
