| dc.description.abstract | The British Labour Party has dismissed suggestions of interference in St. Lucia’s upcoming general elections. The rejection comes just days after a United Kingdom MP stood on a platform endorsing the St. Lucia Opposition Labour Party. Claire Ward, British Labour MP defends her role in the St. Lucia general elections and the question of a breach of political protocol is looked into. Next, China/Taiwan battle for membership of the Caribbean Development Bank has moved to Canada where the CDB is holding its twenty seventh annual meeting. Next, the Caribbean/Latin American Action Organisation in Washington expects the move towards a free trade area of the Americas to pick up momentum despite anticipated setbacks. Next, in Britain a man convicted on the basis of information given by a Yardie informant is awaiting deportation to Jamaica after a court today quashed his ten year conviction for robbery. Finally, a report in Britain looks at racist behaviour at football grounds as more than 70% of fans would support a long term battle on the culprits. In what has been described as the most widespread examination of racism in professional football investigation conducted in the multicultural community of Sheffield calls for stronger action to attract more black people to the game. | en_US |
