‘I have declared war!’ – Eileene L. Parsons

-said she will not apologise for cursing Hon Andrew A. Fahie; said VINO seeking to make trouble by making the issue breaking news

ROAD TOWN, Tortola, VI – Former legislator and member of the ruling National Democratic Party Eileene L. Parsons has declared war on the Opposition for statements emanating from Virgin Islands Party (VIP) senior member Hon Andrew A. Fahie (R1) and said that she will not apologise for cursing him on January 30, 2015.

She made the statements after she called in last night February 3, 2015 on the Speak Out BVI radio show hosted by Doug Wheatley on ZBVI 780 AM.

On January 30, 2015 during the opening of Farmers' Week 2015 in Paraquita Bay, Parsons allegedly used profanity to Hon Fahie as he attempted to greet her. Hon Fahie on a social network alleged that Ms Parsons told him, “Boy you better get the f**k from in front of me,” and refused to shake his hand.

“Let me say what happened,” she said to host Wheatley last evening. “I was sitting there with some other people in the room. The gentleman came, he bent down and said softly ‘I want to say good morning to my cousin’. I responded softly and said what I said. Nobody heard. The person sitting next to me didn’t hear what he said, didn’t hear what I said. Just both of us heard. Within 15 minutes it was on VINO. There were no reporters around. Whoever put it on VINO did it seeking sympathy or seeking to make trouble,” said Parsons.

“Let me ask you something…when in the name of whoever it has become something to go to jail for to cuss a bad word in the BVI? The smallest child is doing it. I am not above those who are able to say what I have to say. Douglas, I have been blessed with intelligence that I could use words to calm a storm and I could use words to build a fire that the Mariana Trench can’t out,” she said.

“l have been blessed with an English tongue and I am not Queen Elizabeth,” she declared.

“I responded how I did because I am a part of ‘the corrupt Government, the most corrupt Government’ in history," said Parsons.

“Whoever is so stupid to say I must apologise, they don’t know me,” she said.

“They feel that they can say what they want about you if you’re on the other side and you must not respond. This has to stop. I am not angry with him. But I have decided I don’t want them tell me howdy, I don’t want them asking me how I do because they are no doctors. As far as I am concerned I have declared war," she said.

“Nobody heard…and the only reason that it is known is because who I said it to give it to VINO and VINO was glad to make it breaking news. Since when is it breaking news to tell somebody a bad word? And they who quoting the Bible, the Bible says honour they father and mother and this young man is not my father so there is no honour,” said Parsons.

When contacted, Chairman of the Board of Advance Marketing and Professional Services, the parent company of this news site, the Esteemed Julian Willock said he had no comment on Ms Parsons' views on VINO publishing the story. However, the Editorial Board of VINO stands by its story.

    Ms. Parsons I respect you as a person but I cannot believe the audacity of you! I really cant believe you as a former politician, educator can bend your mind so low to say you are not going to apologize. Whether the person next to you didn’t hear or not it is embarrassing for me as a local young person to even believe you said the “F” word to an Honorable person. Politics is politics you played the game before, you know how it goes. The bible say forgive those who wilfully abuse you and say all manner of evil against you falsely, rejoice and be exceedingly glad for great is your reward in heaven. Why fight fire with fire. It would have been better you didn’t say anything to the minister at all. How can you compare yourself with little children using the “F” word. An honourable woman or man who is looked upon with high value and standing in our society shouldn’t be using those kinds of words to anyone. You should be shame of yourself. And yuh so bold wid yuh self bore I aint apologizing.

    Ms. Parsons, I am DEEPLY DISAPPOINTED in you and even more so in Dr. Smith. With the PASSION Dr. Smith said you were feeling at the time, how could you have said what you said “softly” and the person sitting next to you not overhear? The smallest child is cussing, so that makes it ok. For the love of God, PRAY and be a positive example to the upcoming generation, not a contentious bitter old lady. I have lost all respect for you. Dr. Smith, what is wrong with you? I expected better from you. Why are you getting caught up in this humiliating display and not positively advising that woman?

If you want respect you first have to give it. And what message are you sending to the general public Mrs. parsons? that it is OK to do wrong and have no apologies for it?? Even if you don't respect the man, my gosh!! By all means you have to respect the man's "office". For someone that is one of the 'golden girls' of Tortola this is beyond unbecoming. Its bets you simply have SHUT UP! You just made yourself look worse! No wonder the younger generation behave the way they do and then the older folks blame the younger folks.............its the OLDER FOLKS contributing to it....this is the example they're setting! No wonder school children and other younger ones feel they can disrespect teachers and others.....the older generation giving us a great example to follow....all we have to do it follow it.

    Ms. P, you wrong, we were all taught respect, no matter what, even with politics, ministers have put their differences aside but all respected each other, out of respect Mr. Fahie greeted you, especially as one of his elders and all you did is disrespect him and others with your language, others heard you so don't pretend. Dr. Smith, couple years ago you said you realized your mistake. Yet you have your party members doing what they want and disrespecting the people of the virgin islands, and to make it worse, there is never an apology given, you have all gone too far this time, and it will cost you the election. I understand that you want to stand by your members but wrong is wrong and right is right, so why aren't you doing the right thing. You too soft and got a set of huliguns, and ignorant bullies on your team who pushing down poor people and trampling on them for 4 years, shame on you all.

I am also equally disappointed in our premier, because he should have had the spine to say right is right and wrong is wrong. This whole thing makes me wonder how many wrongs take place in their boardroom all because the premier is not many enough to stand for justice, morality and equality. Shameful!

Did you watch the debates between Hillary Clinton and President Obama when they both were vying for the Democratic Nomination? Hillary fangs were out. There was nothing that she did not tell Obama. At the end the fight was over, the respect for each other was still there. He admired her strength and qualifications so much he made her Secretary of State. You people think that you have to be sworn enemies if you have a difference of opinion. Come on grow up. Eileen I thought better of you. Did not realize that you are so empty, simple and shallow.
