Who'll notice if there's a war going on?

Mar 17, 2003, 14:02

Today's METRO:

"Big Food Group, owner of Iceland stores, is demanding £12 million from the government of poverty-stricken Guyana.

The money is compensation for a sugar business the South American country nationalised in 1975.

Guyana, so poor the international financial community has written off 90% of its debts

...repaying it would cripple the Guyana economy...

Big Food's turnover of £5.2 billion dwarfs Guyana's £2.15 billion GDP. The group is refusing to back down and has forced Guyana to a binding World Bank tribunal hearing in London later this month."

Bastards.
