I should also admit to being particularly tetchy about this subject after overhearing the following conversation among two non Belizean people.

Person 1.'Have you seen that disgusting man who comes and washes naked on the beach here in the mornings?'

Person 2. 'Yes but he is mentally ill and there is no real provision for people like him here. As far as mental health goes on the island, either the community cares for him or he dies'.

Person 3. 'Well they should let him. It would tidy up the gene pool as well'. This person was not joking.

It made me a bit mad.
