BRITISH HIGH COMMISSIONER John White now knows how some Barbadians feel about his government’s support of United States President George W. Bush’s plan for a war on Iraq.
The second protest action targeted at the British High Commission for Prime Minister Tony Blair’s attention did not attract masses to the slippery streets of Bridgetown yesterday, but it included several clerics and a minister of Government.
