Providing A VOICE To The VOICELESS

Two young men—gone. Shot and killed on separate ends of the island. Before the ink could dry on From Policing to Policies, the streets had already spoken. Loudly. Violently. Tragedy forced our hand. This piece was not scheduled. It is not polished. But it is honest. And it is necessary.

Voices Radio now presents a fresh blueprint of how each district can rise, not through curfews and checkpoints, but through targeted investment, cultural empowerment, and access to opportunity.

Let us begin here: increased police presence has failed.

Anguilla is facing a slow-burning crisis—and it's not just about gun violence. It is about institutional denial, moral numbness, and policy misdirection.

Part 2 uncovers the full truth behind the hotel pool tragedy, revealing the spiritual forces and hidden realities that shaped the event.

The body of 11-year-old Adriana Younge was discovered floating in the pool of Double D Hotel — but according to her family, eyewitnesses, and scientific analysis, she was not there the night before.

December 2021 began as simple satire and commentary that evolved into journalism.

Now, in 2025—three years later—we stand on the threshold of something even greater: a full-fledged news agency preparing to plant its feet in Anguilla as an official, independent broadcaster. 

As we continue peeling back the layers of ANGLEC’s governance, one of the most urgent and troubling patterns reveals itself: the embedded conflicts of interest arising from politically affiliated board members.

This report provides a comprehensive breakdown of the individuals who have served on the Board of Directors of the Anguilla Electricity Company (ANGLEC) between 2020 and 2025. The aim is to clarify the shifting power dynamics and structural changes at ANGLEC through the lens of each director’s tenure.

A basketball court in Island Harbour has turned into far more than a local sports upgrade. It has exposed a profound failure of governance, oversight, and lawful procedure in Anguilla's recent past.

We began this series uncovering the truth about ANGLEC's leadership structure—how broken boards, weak governance, and shadowy alliances compromised the promise of public energy in Anguilla. And now, we bring it to its natural end: the collapse of the very board at the centre of this controversy.

In Anguilla, something remarkable has taken shape. Minister of Infrastructure Jose Vanterpool has appointed a new ANGLEC board with an approach unlike any seen before—an approach that could mark a turning point in how public institutions are governed.

Now, with a new administration in power and Minister Jose Vanterpool at the helm, the unanswered questions return with urgency. What happened to the renewable proposal? Who stalled it? And why?

In this second part of our exposé, we step back from Anguilla to explore how governments across the region manage majority-owned utilities, and what makes Anguilla’s current crisis at ANGLEC so rare, even revolutionary.

Anguilla's power company, ANGLEC (Anguilla Electricity Company Ltd.), is more than just a utility provider.

“ANGLEC, I can say, has been not only the administration's but particularly my focus... It has been my top priority since being elected.”

Have we become so fearful of our own people that we believe metal and memory cards can fix spiritual decay?

This report investigates the deep-rooted corruption in Anguilla’s economy and political system and proposes a series of strong, enforceable laws to protect the island from further exploitation.

At Voices Radio, We speak up when systems fail, when silence protects the wrong, and when those in power forget the people they serve. But just as it’s our duty to cry out against injustice, it’s also our responsibility to highlight the moments that remind us—there is still light within the system.

The Royal Anguilla Police Force has responded. And this is what they had to say: “We acknowledge receipt of your letter and take these concerns seriously. A thorough investigation has been initiated and we will provide an update in due course.” A short, polished, professional-sounding message.

A teacher Ms. Breanna Webster found herself in the middle of a volatile conflict involving high school girls and a grown man inciting one of them to stab the other in the face, she didn’t walk away. She didn’t film it. She didn’t look for clout. She intervened. Let us be absolutely clear: the Royal Anguilla Police Force failed its duty.

The Royal Anguilla Police Force has confirmed that a body was found in a vehicle. While the nation murmurs in shock, I declare this now through divine instruction: This is not an isolated incident. This is not coincidence. This is not business as usual. This is a trumpet blast before the heavens roar.

 He hears the knees that have bowed, the knees that have fallen, the knees that have cried out with sorrowful repentance. Let their cries echo through the Kingdom of God. Let them be recorded in the courts of Heaven. Let them be seen, and let them receive mercy.

From the depths of His soul, He mourns what Anguilla has become. Since 1970, when He delivered the people from the hands of the Kittitians, He expected righteousness, divine order, and covenant loyalty. Yet the people have danced with two kingdoms.

This message is not for entertainment. It is a trumpet blast — a summons from the courts of heaven to the remnant of God scattered in the systems of Babylon, hidden within corrupted churches, and drifting in the currents of a defiled culture.

The video that was seen—the depletion of Anguilla’s reserves—is not merely financial.
It is spiritual.
It is a mirror of Heaven’s decision to begin removing its protective covering.

This report critically examines why Anguilla’s minimum wage is failing, compares it to the UK’s approach, and proposes a hybrid model that could bridge the gaps in both systems. 

Two ambulances arrived in Anguilla—not as part of a bold healthcare upgrade initiated by Anguilla’s government, nor through a comprehensive national plan—but as donations. Two from the United Kingdom. Two from Bermuda.

Well, Hayden Hughes just showed up on WhatsApp stories like a proud mechanic, beaming beside two decommissioned NHS Sprinter ambulances shipped in from the UK, captioning it with national pride:
“Two down, two more on the way.”

Sir… are we ordering life-saving emergency vehicles, or counting barrels from the UK?

Anguilla is known for three things — peas, pilots, and pastors. But while we’ve grown an abundance of pulpits, our spiritual roots are rotting. And the youth? They see it. They feel it. And they’ve had enough.

When I released “HOW SUE & ROBIN RICKETTS BUILT A LUXURY EMPIRE IN ANGUILLA—AND LEFT A TRAIL OF EXPLOITATION BEHIND,” I knew it would spark a conversation. I didn’t expect it to spark fear. I didn’t expect people to question me more than they questioned the system I was exposing.

How did Sue Ricketts, with her extensive empire, allow one of her properties to collapse into receivership, while she and her husband continued to profit elsewhere?

​

n the days following Anguilla’s 2025 General Election, a calm should have swept the land. A sense of direction, vision, and national unity should have risen. Instead, what has quietly settled across the island is something far more dangerous: restlessness.

This exposé reveals how Ricketts used the same tactics of exploitation that were employed by slave masters and colonizers—dispossessing locals, eroding culture, and building an empire at the expense of the very people who made the island what it is today.

This investigation peels back the layers of foreign dominance over Anguilla’s five-star economy, exposes the systemic barriers that prevent locals from establishing similar legacies, and lays the groundwork for a path forward.

Who really owns the industry? Where does the money go? Why is the local economy so disconnected from the foreign direct investment (FDI) economy? And most importantly, what can be done to change this?

Soca music, born from the vibrant culture of the Caribbean, is often misunderstood. Some question whether it carries elements of darkness, while others see it as a purely joyful and uplifting genre. To understand where soca stands spiritually, we must go back to its roots, its purpose, and how it has evolved over time.

For years, Anguilla has thrived on an economic and social model that, while unspoken, has quietly shaped the island’s success. Each district, each village plays a role—West End fuels the tourism engine, Blowing Point connects the people, Island Harbour brings in the fish, Sandy Ground moves the goods. 

This report investigates the deep-rooted corruption in Anguilla’s economy and political system and proposes a series of strong, enforceable laws to protect the island from further exploitation.
