Skelton-Cline lambastes Governor Jaspert over UK 'kindness' remarks
Mr Skelton-Cline’s critical commentary came during his radio show aired on Tuesday, June 12, 2018. According to the Honestly Speaking host, “while we are grateful for all kindnesses extended to us, post hurricanes, the Governor should also be mindful of the UK’s obligations to the Territory.”
Mr Cline reminded radio listeners, it was a failure to have “not declared a state of emergency” in the aftermath of the devastating 2017 hurricanes.

The former Managing Director of the BVI Ports Authority said “there was a failure of the police force that gave rise to the looting.”
He said too, the Governor should note that these are policy areas that fall under his portfolio as Governor.
In his radio show aired live yesterday on ZBVI 780 AM, the man of the cloth noted also, “the most critical question that yet loom is our state of preparedness, as we are at the genesis of another hurricane season.”
He questioned “in what way are we any more prepared now than we were a year ago? What is the status of Disaster Management apparatus, both in terms of their facility and equipment to adequately and accurately alert the population?”
Mr Skelton-Cline at the time invited Governor Jaspert, to appear on his show, “so as to drill down on these issues for the benefit of the people.”
Jaspert a hero!
Following the two powerful Hurricanes that destroyed the VI in September of 2017, Governor Jaspert was hailed as a hero in the UK and American media as Premier and Minister of Finance, Dr the Honourable D Orlando Smith (AL) and his government, went silent for three weeks after the storm.
