BARBADIANS SAT AND did nothing 20 years ago when societal problems, crime and violence started to rear their heads.
However, said rector of St Matthias Anglican Church, the Reverend Hugh Sandiford, the island can ill-afford to sit back and do nothing now, as gunplay and gun violence continue across the landscape.
“We sat and did nothing 20 years ago. As the old people would say ‘we have brought our pigs to fine market’, he said.
“But we can no longer sit and do nothing. Together we stand but divided this nation, this paradise we call home, will fall. Let us stand together and make the next 50 years even more glorious that our first 50.” (HLE)
