LET me declare my interest: I've long supported Caricom and West Indies cricket. But anyone can see the writing on the wall unless they're wilfully blind. First, Caricom.

Recently there has been some outcry about the treatment of Chinese workers here when what we should be crying about is why the Chinese are here in the first place. Our esteemed Prime Minister keeps telling us we don't want to work and we believe him. We are told that we have full employment.
