Hero/Villain of the Day-24.01.05
Hero: Owen Arthur:The prime-minister of Barbados intends to make the Caribbean island a republic and wants to replace the Queen as the official head of state with a locally elected president.
Well done Mr Arthur!Hopefully you will spur on other countries to do the same.
Villain: Ray Burke:The former government minister was today jailed for six months for two tax-dodging offences.
He has been left in disgrace but I still feel the sentence is too lenient.
