‘De rich run things @ NS’ – Boat Operator
According to the person who asked that we protect their identity, Deputy Premier and Minister for Natural Resources and Labour Dr the Honourable Kedrick D. Pickering allegedly keeps turning a deaf ear to issues relating to accessing certain beaches and more so docking at certain locations in North Sound.
The person said this issue was brought up in public once again to the Deputy Premier in the presence of several members of government while at their most recent meeting in North Sound regarding priority being given to Oil Nut Bay boat docking at a particular dock in the area, one they say is a public facility.
“You know what he said (Hon Pickering) at that meeting? He said that it was the first time he hearing of this matter and I find it hard to believe him because it’s at almost every forum they have this is brought to their attention and we get that they don’t know, they looking into it, they will get us feedback and nothing go so, this thing continues to happen and it’s not right,” said the person.
“We went as far as to take a picture of the notice they have up there; we sent it to them and no one can give us any word or explanation. It seems like we got to become millionaire and sending rockets to the moon before we get some respect from this government and be free to access certain ‘PUBLIC’ facilities,” the person continued.
The photograph of the signage as seen on this site was also shared with this news site and while it does not specifically say the dock is only for the use of Oil Nut Bay boats others in the area said that they are prohibited from using the dock and only those boats belonging to Oil Nut Bay are seen docking.
“My question is who do we ask for this permission, nobody up here can’t tell us the answer, the Deputy Premier ain’t know then who run things here it’s obviously the billionaire,” the person said.
Several calls to the office of the Deputy Premier’s office yielded no response. In one instance this news site was made to hold for a long period awaiting a response but was forced to abandon the call as the wait was too long. On another instance the information was taken by a receptionist and it was promised that someone was going to return call but that call never did materialize.

VIP trying the same old games as they did in 2007 trying to win the elections. Painting the NDP as elitists and for the rich, while they are no different. It will not work this time. Last time the people gave you a chance, we got Biwater, Green houses, SCB Harbor, Johnson's Ghut mess and a whole sort of mismanagement of our funds. If VIP was in power the UK would have taken over long time. This tactic won't work. The whole rich vs poor is foolishness. It's the self-proclaimed poor that you see driving around in Benz and BMW, wearing $300 Jordans, diamond bracelets, gucci and LV bags, nails done, hair done, big fancy boats. Locals need to invest in tangible things, set themselves up then they can spend because the money will be coming in. But no, they want to do sh.t with their money, selll off their land then complain about white man this and that. I don't think that there are black people anywhere else in the world that have it as good as BVI locals but we continue to squander it, sell off land by the 100s of acres, front for businesses and spend off our little money like stupid rappers on TV. When will we stop the madness? We complain about the rich whites and we don't like the rich locals, what do we really want?
Fraser and the VIP remain the best hope for the BVI and the FCO already said if the NDP is return to power it will be hard for the BVI not to be taken over by the UK…go talk that!
