Remember flying the Gay Rights Flag in Poland? Read this one if you haven’t done so previously – it’s a belter.

Now a vibrant new edgy FCO public diplomacy issue emerges: when is it OK for a senior British diplomat to use the s*** word during a radio phone-in programme in the Turks and Caicos Islands?

Should he stay or should he go? Discredited former Premier Michael Misick has views:

A simple apology is not enough. He has disrespected the children that might have been listening, and he has disrespected the Christians that might have been listening. We are a Christian country and such behavior should not be allowed or condoned by anyone especially the leader of the country who has absolute power. The Governor should know that with great power comes an even greater responsibility. If he was in England as a minister or a public servant and had behaved in such a despicable manner on national radio or television, he would have had to resign. 

… There can be doubt that Governor Ric Todd is practicing cronyism by making sure all of his white friends reap the benefits and rape the Turks and Caicos Islands. It is clear to all, including the expatriates, that this is what his mission is about.

To add insult to injury, he has hired an openly-gay man who lives with his male lover, to be Chief Executive of our country. The Governor obviously has no respect for the Christian values that have long been the bedrock of the Turks and Caicos Islands. Enough is enough.

There seems to be no end to the madness of Governor Ric Todd and to pain and suffering that he intends to inflict upon the people of this country. Clearly it is time to end this repressive British occupation and have elections so that we as a people can once again govern our self and set our path towards independence

On – to Freedom!
