In light of recent events on Barbuda, I wrote this deep-dive into the island's history, the threats its people face today, and why any of it matters to those of us who live elsewhere. #landrights #taymouthcastle #discoverylandcompany #caribbean

The First Minister has been urged to demand action from the controversial developers of Taymouth Castle after what locals claimed was an 'insulting' response to his previous calls

The Antiguan Government’s adjudication of Barbudan land is naked cronyism, an attack on the rights of ordinary Barbudans for the benefit of billionaires and career politicians. It must be fought and stopped and we wish all the best to our colleagues in Barbuda as they go forward.

@ScotNational Congratulations in particular to the residents of Taymouth Drive, who worked tirelessly to raise awareness of this issue and canvas their neighbours. They deserve a drink after all this!

A great success for Loch Tay, but particular congratulations here must go to the residents of Taymouth Drive, who worked tirelessly to raise awareness of this issue and canvas their neighbours. They deserve a drink after all this! https://t.co/0ktruHHyMl

PKC planners said environmental impact assessments weren’t necessary for these developments because good practices could mitigate the side effects. Now we’ve got proof those practices aren’t being followed. So now what? 2/2 @PerthandKinross @JohnSwinney @PeteWishart @markruskell

[Unity @UnityLandHome]

Perth and Kinross Council have uncovered a litany of planning breaches and instances of poor construction practices at Taymouth Castle. Further proof of Discovery Land Company’s total lack of regard for the land on which they build #LochTay 1/2

fantastic article by @CaribbeanClash on the rampant hypocrisy behind Leonardo DiCaprio and Robert DeNiro's roles in Killers of the Flower Moon https://t.co/Zn3FEIV97r

[Clash! Voices for Caribbean Federation from Below @CaribbeanClash]

“De Niro is among the global capitalists who have collaborated with the Government of Antigua to terrorize and degrade the Barbudan people and their environment.” https://t.co/I93xzUS77g

[Clash! Voices for Caribbean Federation from Below @CaribbeanClash]

A win for Barbuda, but the fight to preserve the commons is not over. As Alvette Jeffers writes, “Those who oppose Barbuda’s land claim and their efforts to be self-determined have summoned the ghost of the colonizers to their side.” https://t.co/FjqKm0ExfE

This new precedent legally empowers communities to challenge developments that are destroying their lands around the world AND bolsters the work of activists &those resisting airport expansions @StayGroundedNet + global network of communities resisting DLC @UnityLandHome 7/

[GLAN | Global Legal Action Network @GLAN_LAW]

Today's win marks a turning point in Barbudans' fight for justice! It's a testament to John & Jackie's determination to protect Barbuda's fragile ecosystem & fight for their legal right to challenge developments harming their lands #ecocide #landdefenders

Huge congratulations to the people of Barbuda for winning their Privy Council case! Another step towards justice for the environmental atrocities committed by the Antiguan government for the benefit of Discovery Land Company

[GLAN | Global Legal Action Network @GLAN_LAW]

Celebrations on Barbuda begin early today as John and Jackie have won their appeal which challenged a decision denying them the right to fight a destructive airport development on #Barbuda!

[Unity @UnityLandHome]

Taymouth Castle’s application for a vehicle maintenance building (23/02152/FLL) is part-situated on land earmarked for community housing - a totally unacceptable development that will reduce the site’s potential capacity by nearly 30%. #LochTay #DiscoveryLandCompany

[Unity @UnityLandHome]

Something to remember as Robert De Niro finds himself with an Oscar nomination for his role in a film about the oppression of indigenous people: his company, Paradise Found, is responsible for unspeakable and ongoing devastation to Barbuda and its people
