Emothions have been running high over the last several days. Once again St Martiners have been called all kinds of name because they dared to express disapproval of something happening in the country. Is that not our right????
Even our Deputy has told us that we are an "island of prsperity in an ocean of misery" and should therefore shut up! PROSPERITY????? Really???? French st martin in 21 square mile of people on the dole!!! The collectivity has not the slightest idea of how many people live on this island. They say 363.000 but 70.000 people collect from the CAF!
The toilets on our little airport in Grand Case have been out of order now for months! Why? A company is paid to clean and maintain those toilets. But can it be that the company has not been paid? Why not? Because the litany sung from every corner is that the collectivity has no money? Then where the hell is th prosperity?
Even France knows that they cannot take away all the misery of the world. How then on God's green earth can st martin take away any, even its own? St. Martiners are not even allowed to work for themselves unless they make enough to pay for all the ones the government wants to come in and vote for them! The number of people who have tried to work to support themselves that have been stopped and fined and brought before the court is known only to the court.
The idea for the European Union came from France. How is then France cannot or will not understand our situation here on St. Martin?
Frustration on St. Martin is buildingand if the two governments of this island do not take things in hand their own people will come for them eventually. Ghandi's own people shot him and his daughter down, not strangers.
What politicians seem to forget is that they are very, very, very comfortable. It is the poor man on the street who is uncomfortabl. The straw that breaks the camel's back is just that- a straw, and nobody knows when that straw will fall! Like earthquakes, nobody knows when the big one will hit.
Governments, take heed!
