KINGSTOWN, St. Vincent, CMC – Prime Minister Dr. Ralph Gonsalves has accused two journalists with the British Broadcasting Corporation ( BBC) of accosting him Sunday on an airplane in Barbados and has said that he will write to the London-based media house to complain about the incident. “… I am going to write the BBC, because I am no less a prime minster than … [Britain’s former prime minister Gordon] Brown and [Prime Minister David] Cameron, to accost me like that,” Gonsalves said on a local radio station, a call from Antigua, en route to the two-day Caribbean Community (CARICOM) summit that begins in Haiti on Monday. Gonsalves, who left here on an early morning flight to Barbados, via Grenada on Sunday, said he and his wife, Eloise, were sitting at the front right side of the passenger cabin, while Ellsworth John, head of the Regional Integration and Diaspora Unit, was seated at the front left side.
