Anti-gov’t motorcade flops with abysmal support
The protest, led by the voices of Rosan-Jones along with Kishma V.S. Penn speaking from a public address system, focused mostly on an insurance policy aimed at former Legislators, most of whom are now ill and have petitioned the House of Assembly (HoA) for the support.
Motorcade needed no permission – Rosan-Jones
Rosan-Jones told JTV on a Facebook live video that the plan was to traverse various areas of the territory and even disrupt other events, “We’re going to head up to District Seven, we’re going to crash that party that’s happening at The Stickette, ain’t no time for no celebration!” she said.
Rosan-Jones in response to questions about whether the motorcade received permission from the Police hinted that none was needed as the "BVI is a democracy" and the motorcade "was not breaking any rules nor laws".
Ms Penn, who was alongside Rosan-Jones also called for more persons to come out and support the initiative.
Meanwhile, organizer Rosan-Jones has been accused of sowing seeds of division in the territory, with aggressive, bullying politics. She has also been pitting local against locals and have been advocating for Virgin Islanders to boycott local businesses.
Rosan-Jones led failed bid for VINO boycott
In the past, Rosan-Jones had called on the loyal supporters, readers, and advertisers of Virgin Islands News Online (VINO) to boycott the news website, in another failed bid.
A passer-by speaking to our news center described the motorcade as a ‘noise nuisance’ and another compared it to the annoyance of loud scooters on a calm afternoon.
One social commentator speaking to VINO on condition of anonymity has called on the Government of the Virgin Islands to do more to promote mental health awareness in the territory.

Uncomfortable about the mess their dealing us!
Please stop the nonsense!!
Do something positive with your time ...persons will participate then!! Build a positive foundation!!
Besides, Disttict 7 party was well attended
I just don’t get it. Kishma Penn? Brodrick sista? another government employee making noise here. It’s like ayo don’t like ayo job or you just disgruntled 7 district MUMU for Marlon? Don’t follow the M&M trouble makers.
It's going to be difficult during these hard times to convince persons to participate in issues such as this.
Jobs and opportunities are scarce and persons will always put their financial health and stability first!
Perhaps, social mediums offerring defiant messaging is the way to go.
Sometimes, an invisible fight, with invisible supporters can bring about the victory in a manner that visible participation cannot!
Good Luck!
**** is evil she needs to pay her bills
KEEP FOCUS ON THE FACTS NOT THE WOMEN!
DONT GET PERSONAL AT THE END OF THE DAY IF THOSE WOMEN DONT SAY SOMETHING WE WILL ALL BE STUCK WITH NHI.
I wonder which one wears the draws with the di** holes in them.
In the late 1970s, the British businessman Ken Bates attempted to lease a large part of the island on a 199-year lease, but this was blocked after a protest movement led by islander Noel Lloyd. Inspired by Martin Luther King, Noel Lloyd, started the Positive Action Movement in 1968 to protest the Batehill company’s development of land in the territory. The Batehill leases “were to run for 199 years…leaving less than 10% of Anegada to its own people, and creating a barrier that would separate the affluent Road Town harbour from the rest of the island.” Today, a life size statute of Noel Lloyd and face plates of other members of PAM stands in memory of their efforts at the Noel Lloyd Positive Action Movement Park in Road Town, Tortola.
This is not right, government is saying NHI is good for you the people of this territory but not for us, cause we (gov) are superial than you
Improve NHI improve public education improve health
