Hon Walwyn says Claude O. Skelton-Cline, 'Frothing at the mouth'
Honourable Myron V. Walwyn (AL) took issue against Skelton-Cline alleging that he left the NDP because he was booted from the BVI Port Authority.
The political rant took place in the Third District, Sea Cows Bay on Saturday, January 26, 2019, when the NDP launched their representative for that district, Mr Aaron F. Parillon.
Frothing at Mouth
“I see some of them frothing at the mouth but they only frothing because the government did not renew their contract at the Port. That’s why they frothing,” Mr Walwyn said referring to Skelton-Cline.
Hon Walwyn continued, “Anyhow [If] their contract was renewed, they would not have been over there saying the things they saying about the NDP,” he added.
Walwyn was at the time talking about the qualities of a leader and what voters need to consider when choosing one, noting, that a defining issue for the 2019 elections has to be about leadership.
“It is an issue which is so critical to our immediate future that we cannot escape it. It is the leadership more than any other factor which determines whether a country succeeds or whether a country fails,” he said.
Leadership is not holding a position – Walwyn
He further stated that leadership should not be confused with holding a position as a leader since that is meaningless.
According to Mr Walwyn, “It is a sad currently on contemporary politics that the ultimate ambition of some persons is simply to rise to the position of Party leader and then use it as a stepping stone to becoming Premier, Prime Minister or President. We must be on our guard against such persons,” he said.
“Their self-serving agenda does not include the advancement of the people. It includes advancement of self.”

I may not be a fan of the minister in charge of education, and indeed, also do not have anything against him. Fair is fair. People are generally slow in acting to do what's right, or what they think is right, but always quick to point out what they perceive to be other people's mistake. Whoever you are, if you think there was something to salvage, you could have taken the initiative to do so, or voice your concerns before it was all gone.
Your comments, in this case, I find to be a bit on the distasteful side.
