The Public Service is not for the faint of heart
Lorna M. George
Ever since I graduated from the BVI High School, now called the Elmore Stoutt High School, I have worked for the Government of the Virgin Islands (VI). I started my long journey as a laboratory trainee at Peebles Hospital. The years were terrible and horrible years to say the least. It was here that my Christian values and morals were tested and tried.
Marching for the Commonwealth or just following the blind?

Only the Lazy & Misinformed celebrate before the Mission is accomplished:
Time is running out, we are still in the midst of Recovery Efforts and this is hardly the time to indulge in National Holidays we cannot afford and that only serve to push us backward rather than forward… Just a week ago we did HLS Holiday and we are now called on to celebrate Commonwealth Day and, while Persons appear quick to welcome these non-productive events, few know their basic origin or meaning.
Insurance companies not out to 'put the screws' to people of VI- Michael A. Fusco
DUFF'S BOTTOM, Tortola, VI- Since the floods of August and the hurricanes of September 2017, insurance companies have been under pressure from residents, who have complained of being cheated, pushed around, and having their properties undervalued.

Being held to ransom digitally, financially & politically

Welcome to the Twilight Zone where Wrong means Right:
Just when we thought things couldn’t get worse, Leaders across the World show us they can – International Trade Agreements are scrapped, Crucial Health Care for the Needy is withdrawn, Basic Education is rolled back, Religious Leaders dabble in Child Molestation and those in seats of Power corrupt the delivery of Justice – Sadly, these traits are not new but simply getting worse.
‘Bully’ Walwyn’s ignorance is self-revealing –Hon Fahie

Walwyn (AL) as the “Bully” Minister who is now seeking to unconstitutionally instruct the Auditor General to audit a consultancy contract awarded when Hon Fahie was Minister for Education and Culture.
When 9/11 still affects us locally & internationally
Alred C. Frett
9/11 & Relics from 15-Years ago:
America commemorates 15-years since 9/11 and to those who never cared it seems such a long time while for those who shared the Loss and Agony it seems like Yesterday… 9/11 is a Tragedy that happened so quickly but lingers so long that it brought out the best and worst in us and continues to result in the loss of so many innocent Lives that we should always remember not to forget.
BVI's progress halted by Greed, Envy & Corruption

Who cares if the loss of a Child is the loss of a Future?:
Persons insist on asking why bother to bother with Children who evidently care nothing about themselves… This is a question I often ask myself especially when so many of our Children are dying of grown-up diseases and we appear headed back to Old Testament corruption where crime was directly linked to God’s Rulers and Brother killing Brother was a formula for success.
Observing St. Ursula’s Day is a waste of time- Alred Frett
ROAD TOWN, Tortola, VI- Social activist, commentator and local entrepreneur Alred Frett believes St. Ursula’s Day should be scrapped from the Virgin Islands calendar of public holidays as no one really understands what it is about and that it is only costing the Territory money it can’t afford to lose.
