Robert F. Kennedy's observation that "progress is a nice word..but change is its motivator and change has its enemies," could have been made for the remaining six, all physically small, British dependent territories in the Caribbean: Anguilla, Bermuda, British Virgin Islands (BVI), Cayman Islands, Montserrat, and the Turks and Caicos Islands (TCI).
