They should throw this Nelson in the garbage or the Ocean - that is where it belongs.
It shouldn't be in Bdos in the first place.
Put the late Frank Worrell, Everton Weekes and Clyde Walcott in its place.

Local men most deserving of remembrance and honor - for their service to Barbados and the West Indies.
It should also be noted that honoring local people will reinforce local identity and values, including the waning concept of "West Indies".

Careful now, we don't want (or can't afford) to lose the Little England moniker.

Yeah, that could lead to a serious identity crisis over there.

What would you suggest as an appropriate replacement? Bimbabwe?
