Every year consistently without fail, the Royal Barbados Police Force does its utmost to stop Euphoria!
In our first year 2005 they denied police security and then spent the entire weekend of the show harassing the euphoria venue owner contriving reasons the show should not go on. They failed.                                 
 In 2007 the letter we sent to police requesting security mysteriously disappeared and conversations we had with them they could not remember having. They failed to stop the event then too.                           
Now in 2008 the Police once again  has stepped up to the plate in its draconian and even more aggressive efforts stand in the way of cultural entrepreneurs.Not only are they denying security but by calling the media to ensure that the message is sent that Euphoria production is in joepordary achieves a more sinister objective we will reveal.                         
Why has the agency whose primary task is to prevent crime also added to its objectives stopping an entertainment event?         
Let Boyce tell you why, because every Euphoria event has been on the same night as cohobblopot. Therefore the police has been constantly used as a tool to protect the financial interests of the government by stamping on private enterprise.
Even if you look at their call to the media, as you would know the police is not known to be a friend of newspapers as media has a nasty habit of reporting on incidents of abuse done by the police.                                 
The malicious intent of the timing of their phone call is to effectively remove “euphoria” as competition so that cohobblopot tickets would be free to sell. 

In all the previous years that we have had Euphoria there is one person who stood by us in these times of difficulty with the police.
 That person is our now Prime Minister David Thompson. Back then he was David our legal advisor and he was very effective in representing us in these Police issues.
I can honestly say if not for the efforts of David there would be no Euphoria.

Guess who I have written too?

Euphoria Cliff hanger continues tomorrow….
