EDITOR, The Tribune.
THE Caribbean and the world have been discussing Brexit. Some of our eminent thinkers have explained the consequences of Britain leaving the European union. Some argue they did so to assert control over the continent. I know they exited because it is in their national interest. Whether it be immigration, billions spent on EU dues or cumbersome bureaucracy, the EU was hindering their national interest.
Britain doesn’t assist the Caribbean because they love us. They do so because it is in their national interest. We are more than willing to align ourselves with them and push their international agenda. The assistance will continue. We must now follow suit and push our national and regional interest. Why gain millions in aid and lose billions in trade? It is time for the Caribbean to mature and free ourselves from mental slavery. If you are not helping me to be prosperous you are not my friend.
