    Wow imagine being so rich that you feel that you could smuggle drugs into the US Embassy. If they have no regard for the US Embassy I wnder what happens when they are in Barbados at their West Coast mansion?

    Good work blogger. First with the truth again. As far as I can tell there’s been no mention yet in the “traditional media.”

    There is a commonly-held belief among people like this that they are above the law. That they can do anything they like and get away with it. This includes hiring expensive PR flacks to “soften” the story when they’re caught red-handed. Or to keep their crimes out of the papers altogether.

    It also includes building monstrous £50 million villas on scarce and precious Barbados beach property.

    And we, who serve time for one spliff, can’t see the sea from the highway and get less and less access to the beaches that “these” people consider their own.

    There’s something very wrong here?

    Last week a senior US State Department suit visiting Barbados said the Caribbean is a threat to world stability (or words to that effect.)

    And used drugs as only one example of our unstableness.

    Did he include millionaires who live in Barbados who smuggle drugs into US embassies?

    And I’m not a drug connaisseur but judging by the amount this lady was smuggling into the London embassy she couldn’t have consumed them all herself.

    Here’s the deal.

    Let’s offer amnesty and a full pardon to West Coast Rape zillion dollar villa owners. You can build as high and as wide as you want, ugly too, gates, armed security guards and ferocious guard dogs of course, block our beaches as if they are your own, naturally.

    In return we reserve the right to body search you upon entering your compound and have our sniffer dogs examine your Hummvies and polo ponies.

    Incidentally, can anyone say exactly what the penalty is in Barbados for cocaine and heroin possession?

    It seems you are running the same item as BFP. No problem , I can just copy and paste my post from there to here!

    Reading the Daily Mail link, it seems that the Rousings are philanthropists. They also appear to have a commitment to rehabilitation from drugs, well, at least Mrs. Rousing. Barbados may well be the ideal place for them to come, in all respects. Keep up the good work, BFP, in exposing drug abuse. Are there any other scandals that we ought to know about regarding VIPs? (Well, I think we all know about A. Owen’s problem!!)

    I can add one more comment here. Can we trust them to be good in Barbados?

    If they were so brazen in their attempt to smuggle drugs into the US, is anyone under any doubt about possible attempts and successes they probably had smuggling them into Barbados? I thing the Barbados police force should “Jerry Hall” their butts if and when they next land in Bimshire. 😀

    …..But we know that drugs are only a problem when poor people have access to them.

    Read the article. I always pity rich people. Their lives are usually envied by everyone who assumes that wealth brings you happiness. I have never believed it. Being born into wealth is not necessarily a blessing nor is being born into poverty necessarily a curse.
    Every one of us has got our own demons to fight. ABBA said that money must be funny in a rich man’s world. Here they were fighting their own demons and supporting charities who fight against the drug problem. I think it is sad.

    I am not one to usually judge people by the way they are dressed or the way they look, but I’ve got to tell you those two look really dodgy. They have a spaced out look, and if I were a customs officer or security guard I would be very suspicious of them, LOL.

    I am a bit surprised at the outrage apparent from bloggers in response to this revelation.

    Is is my experience that people USUALLY try to cover their tracks by reflecting the opposite virtue to the one that represents their own failings…

    Wimps try to join the army…

    Dunces are obsessed with being called ‘doctor’

    Persons who can’t even manage their own families want to be politicians

    etc etc etc

    If I was a dishonest person, would I not feel safer operating as a lawyer – or Policeman – better yet a Judge?

    If I am unattractive, what kind of wife you think I looking for?

    …and if I wanted to be called SIR and to hob nob with the rich white people – and I was a historian, you feel I won’t start out ‘rough’ in my public lectures about slavery too….

    … if I was in a position where I could not even support my family, and that led some idiots to feel that this qualified me to become PM, what the hell wanna vex bout now that I am super rich… and it is wanna that scrunting?

    … So if these people are druggies and got nuff money to spend, and want to come and hobnob with the rich judges, politicians, etc in Barbados – why wanna surprised that they try to buy the image of anti – drug philanthropist?

    … I feeling real acid today. Anyone know of an alkaline club I could join…

    Dear Sam Gamgee: Why do you pity rich people? Just because you are rich it does not mean that you should not find meaningful work. There is plenty of meaningful low paid work that needs to be done in this world. There was nothing stopping Hans from training and working as an elementary school teacher. Nothing to stop Eva from training as a nurse and spending 8 hours a day 40 hours a week in her feet lookinf after sick people. There is a worldwide shortage of nurses and teachers. They would not be taking away any poor person’s job. They would still have their money. Hans and Eva are lazy shites who think that giving money is the same as giving, time and skill, and love and committment. There is no way that giving away your daddy’s money can be considered meaningful work. The two of them need to go back to drug rehab, come clean and find meaningful 40 to 60 hour a week jobs. Yes I said JOBS. That would keep them busy and engaged with life. WORK is the only cure for boredom.

    Krzysztof Skubiszewski’s clever observation about the word leads me to suggest “Rausing” which is remarkably close to “Housing” should be used as a verb to describe the uncontrolled building of villas and condos inside West Coast walled compounds patrolled by armed guards with ferocious dogs..

    Example. The people raping the West Coast next door to the Sandridge Hotel in Speightstown should be brought before the courts and found guilty of rausing.

    Do any of you read the Daily Mail? There is a whole other Barbados in that paper. In that Barbados the relative of a famous model was found to have her own marijuana plantation on her humongous property. One of her millionaire neighbours squealed and the Police simply asked her to stop. hmmm, how cum dah din in we paypuh? In Barbados the police would shoot yuh fuh a spliff ,an dem jus ask she tuh STOP!!!

    how do we know the rausing’s dont work? it seems they have four young children. perhaps it is no longer acceptable to have the job of ‘mother’ anymore…
    as for their link with drugs, many people give to organisations with which they feel some sort of connection. If they were covering up their own problems I would doubt they would attract attention to themselves by supporting drug problems. surely a children’s charity is much safer…
    did anyone see greensleeves before they built? it was an abandoned ruin for years. the sea wall was always there. they built the drain which now runs under the road at considerable expense to themselves. the road no longer floods. for this, i thank them. but of course they should face the law like everbody else
    they have made a statement saying they do not want to upset or offend anyone and if their presence is contraversial they will not impose themselves.
    Personally, I think that on balance barbados is losing well meaning people. of course we do not want criminals, but it seems some have already judged them based on their economic status. would we be so quick to asssume that a poor man was automatically above the law? Yet we assume becuase they are rich they think they are special. this is a form of rascism which seems to be universally condoned, and it makes me angry. why is it wrong to judge people by race, but ok to judge them for their economic status? just because they are rich we assume they are a certain way. should we assume all poor people are theives? nobody would assume this, yet how easily we assume rich people to be lazy, idle, stupid, arrogant, spoiled….well, maybe some rich people are. and maybe some poor people are all these things too. thinking about it, it might explain why they are poor….

    Dark side of paradise… the death of Eva Rausing puts the spotlight on Barbados

    The death of Eva Rausing casts a spotlight on Barbados, the island of choice for the Kemenys, Kidds and Rausings, where drugs are plentiful and the days are long

    It is just an eight-hour direct flight from London Gatwick and once you arrive you are never more than 10 minutes’ stroll from a palm-dappled shore. Barbados is known as the Switzerland of the Caribbean for the high number of wealthy home owners, and its residents spend their days swimming, lounging on white sand beaches, lunching and golfing at the famous Sandy Lane Hotel — before playing long into the night. The drink of choice is, of course, rum, and the atmosphere, like the heat, intense, heady.

    It is a life that the late Eva Rausing and her husband Hans knew well. The tragic couple split their time between the capital and Barbados where they owned an 11-bedroom beachfront mansion worth £15 million. Set on a private estate near Sandy Lane — said to be the Rausings’ spiritual home — Greensleeves comes with an oriental water garden and koi-filled lily ponds.

    Now I am pissed. These fcukers spend millions to ensure their constant supply of drugs and now people implicating Barbados.

    Maybe Barbados should start searching all private jets and Yachts that arrive on our shores.

    It should be made clear to the world that Barbados has drug enforcement like most other democratic countries but you cannot stop the Rich and Famous from obtaining the drugs of their choice.

    The Rich and Famous have the choice to just say no.

    The expletives were omitted from my contribution.

    We must be there for her when she falls.
    Those in the know saw what was happening and are not surprised at the outcome.
    She has done more for Bim that the BTA has in the last 20 years.
    Let us be magnanimous in our assessments.
    Just hope it is grass and not the white lady that is feeding the termite in the woodpile.
