For obvious reasons the BVI government is not involved.
Bring on the COI.
Spill the beans and let us all be informed.
It’s sickening tbh will they be extradited for the bombs they be dropping????
come on man !!!!!
See now if we had cannabis bill maybe these people thirsty for wealth would see better more wholesome legal options and y’all get more community involvement to solve crimes when people don’t fear police for a little herb.
Caribbean people not about them processed chemicals.
But we’re not working with a full deck to figure out how to mold society.
From not locking doors at night to not being safe with all this action. But still the police force grows larger. If you need help stop criminalizing the people simple.
Where there is no vision the people perish.
I shouldn’t say that though because it falls on the governor & UK now. The government reps have voted, the VI people have spoken.
What are we waiting on??? Easy fix for many social issues, and an improvement to the tourism & hospitality package.
I guess we wait until everyone else does it after they get the head start and we don’t seem special for it before we are allowed to reap the benefits. Mean while the people are exposed to black market products and young mostly black people continue to get records.
Waiting on the amendment to the drugs control act too. These things are no excuse to hold it up if anything it should be motivation to improve the economy.
Dont mix bro ...so u still need white privileges......it works. Wonders
