    Case for Independence: Anguilla from Britain

    About this ebook

    A pretty comprehensive and compelling argument drafted, on request, for Anguilla in 2012 to officially ask Britain, its administering power, to begin to prepare the small emerging nation and its people for independence by 2015.

    Britain's perceived complicity in recent events surrounding the banking situation of the island's two indigenous banks serve to further strengthen, widen and hasten the call for independence.

    George Hodge

    Born in Anguilla in the Caribbean in 1942, I have been lover of words from very early, playing with them in the dirt, on sand and on all types of paper, including brown cement bag.During my university years (1963-66) in Barbados, I was lucky to get short stories published in the leading newspaper. Titles include “The crane lift which was to be his last” and “The day the topless came to town”.In 1970, I completed a full novel with the same name; and, proceeded to write the play shortly thereafter. Unfortunately, both manuscripts were lost in a hurricane.If you google Anguilla Spoken Word, from 1:42 into the video, you will see me, in my golden years, breaking my public speaking phobia, I being the second guest presenter.I invite you to read and enjoy my salvaged poetic pieces. If you feel satisfied, please spread the word; and, also look out very soon for my biography and other works.
