A REALIST SPIKENICE'S VIEW

The problem with most of these former Directors and shareholders of the 2 indigenous banks on Anguilla is that they think that banking is business as usual - it's not. The ECCB has the right to reject any bank. The decision is ECCB's, and ECCB's alone... or any Central Bank for that matter of fact.

We do not have a right to the ECCB currency - it's simply an arrangement. Our natural currency right is the British Pound Sterling. We simply can not spend and do as we please with the EC$ and not come under its rules and regulations however draconian some of these rules "may" appear to be.

Shareholders in banks don't own the banks... owning such bank shares/stocks are very much quite different from owning shares/stocks in a private company. Central Banks e.g ECCB, are the money power’s centralized controllers, whether they are private or publicly owned - and globally, there are very few. They are not operated for profit, and ownership of a certain amount of stock in these Central Banks is, by law, a "condition of membership" in the Banking System. These or such stock may not be sold, traded, or pledged as security for a loan, and dividends are, by law, a percent per year.

None of the indigenous banks on Anguilla, irrespective to the opinions you may have heard from the misinformed, has a "Right" to be part of the banking system. It's simply a "Privilege". And, I honestly believe, giving the conduct displayed today, that any such future relation with the Central Bank (ECCB), has seriously been damaged, outside of the normal stress or difficulties surrounding our indigenous banks.

Fellows Anguillians, our choices are scarce - and it's a do or die choice. It's nothing special or exceptional about us. The ECCB can simply reject us, therefore our only other option is the Financial Services/Bank of England. And guess... the rules are even more draconian.

So here is our final option - immediately pay all you owe or meet its consequences,; reject the ECCB's inevitable (a must) banking legislation; reject the Bank of England; give the depositors back their monies; and monies left to be given back to the shareholders.... to perhaps run as a mortgage company.

Are we Jackasses or something?

... honestly Jerome Roberts... I'm sorry!

ANGUILLA LOOSE CRIMINALS ON STEROIDS - POLICE ON HIGH ALERT

My Fellow Anguillians

Being ignored causes the same chemical reaction in the brain as experiencing a physical injury, and this Anguilla Utter Mess (AUM) is bent on metastasising such chronic mental injury to you the good people of Anguilla. Do not be misled by such high levels of immaturity and incompetence - their record is now archived in the history books of Anguilla's dark and gloomily era... never to be revisited.

Yes, we heard you, and you can be assured that your government is fulfilling your mandate, and methodically working in the best interest of all Anuillians to ensure that the scale and costs of the various government options going forward are comprehensive and transparent.

My people, the road ahead may be rough... as there will never be no yesterdays tomorrow, irrespective to option pursued. In politics, we seem to forget quite easily from soundbites... and though we are not in any blame game, we do respect history, and that's not a sensible or credible option to tripeat... Failure - the other cheek of the same asshole.

We are at a time where there are challenges on the horizon for us as a people, and on this charter, we are in for some turbulent times, turbulent waters ahead. And given the turbulent waters, we need a steady hand to stay the ship. Now is not the time to take a chance or to give Incompetents a chance to try a thing, my fellow Anguillians.

As peaceful law abiding citizens we will need your help. Let us work together - it's all about you.
