Country since it was elected.

That is the view of Sen. Terry Lister who listed examples of how the Government had divided sections of the community since October.

Sen. Lister said the Country was beginning to feel divided and that division was "Government-driven.'' He said: "At the election Government was given the responsibility to bring the Country together and not try to divide it. But in the last six months we have seen Operation Alienation.' Firstly, Sen. Lister believes the removal of the "ceiling'' on interest rates has hit poorer members of the community, costing them more to take out loans.

Taxi drivers had been expecting a discussion with the Ministry of Transport but were given a "bombshell'' when they were told about the new ferry from St. George's to Somerset.

He demanded to know whether Government will change the name of the new prison because of local dissatisfaction with "West End Correctional Facility.'' Also in the West End, Sen. Lister complained that bingo had now started, with government blessing, which was rivalling local sports club bingo events which raised vital funds for their clubs.
