Most are surprised that Mr. Washington Archibald no longer supports the leadership of Prime Minster Dr. Douglas. Whether the fallout is a political stunt is open to question, but their very public exchange cannot be ignored.
In his latest response, Washie cautions the public to be alert now that PM Douglas threatens to force a revolution in St. Kitts and Nevis. Washie said that it was a ‘lunatic explanation’ for PM Douglas to ‘…fight to stay in power even if it means a revolution which might mean bloodshed’. Washie then warns, ‘it is a very ominous statement coming from the leader of the government…and you know that the country is full of guns….’

Revolution is no small event. Mr. Archibald is right that such threats end in violence and bloodshed. We especially have cause to be afraid when PM Douglas means that he will not leave office by such threats.
Added to this is the fact that the media is now subject to wrongful arrest and false imprisonment. For example, police arrested SKNVibes journalist Mr. Stachio Williams last December while trying to take photographs on the scene of a homicide. At the time he was standing across the road behind other onlookers, when he was approached by the Police Officer.
So the question that Mr. Washington Archibald needs to ask is this: what else can we do than be afraid, when right now the same PM Douglas holds monopoly power over both the Police Force and the Defense Force?
