Welcome Islandwatcher to Pprune. I'm glad to hear that this thread is of use to the Islander's of St Helena viz a viz the UK media and hopefully it will lead to you being better informed by SHG. How they manage to both keep people in the dark and run the Island beggars belief. They seem to try to run things as if it were the 19th century. I hope things get better when the new Governor arrives, looking at her record she seems to be quite normal and not of the usual civil service type, fingers crossed!
The SH Independent does a good job in trying to expose some of the worse excesses but they have been thwarted in many investigations by SHG legal restraints put on them as you will know.
