Anguilla

F-Blocker

Doing some boring research at work & found this:

Anguilla (a British Overseas Territory in the Caribbean) has a capital "city" (town, actually) called The Valley!
The Valley

The population would just about fill the back half of the Jimmy Seed )

Got friends that live there, beautiful part of the world but currently experiencing a huge wave of gun-crime and burglary.

Is that specifically in Anguilla Thommo, or generally that part of the Caribbean?

Antigua also has significant level of gun crime and burglary. I have a friend who is a lawyer in St.Johns and home security is a major problem.

I cant speak for the rest of the Caribbean, Ive only spoken to my friends in Anguilla who said their had been a sixfold increase in burglaries in the past year, building on a significant rise the year before.

Wow! Bit worrying. Does seem to affect parts of the Caribbean disproportionately.
