you would have been the jack @$$ to say that! You need to encourage unity for this country instead from bringing politucs into this...
How long does it take to pass a law. It did not take long for them to legislate away our freedom of speech and the freedom of the press. But they did NOTHING to to help the crime situation Three and a half years and crime is Neglected!! Three and a half years and the crime rate is UP. Now they want our vote again. Strupps!!! Dr Smith has FAILED.
The law has already been passed idiot. Try paying attention to issues in your country and you wont make yourself look lije an @$$ asking foolishness. And regsrds to timing it takes a long time to pass legislation because once enacted it affects us all for a long time to come. We need to embrace knowledge and not ignorance.
The BILL was passed just before your party dissolved the house. This has done NOTHING for crime in the past three and a half years. That was just another after thought and a BAND-AID to make it appear that NDP is doing something. A BAND-Aid like all the work that is happening now and will STOP as soon as Monday passes.
Crime Rate has risen under NDP. This is something that they have been trying to keep quiet. They were too busy looking after themselves, to have time to look out for the people who put them in there. Dr Smith has FAILED.
stop with yall politics
You got to be a stone cold idiot. All y'all who blaming these parties for crime need a lick over Ayo heads. Foolishness. Bull$%^&. Nonsense. I have to question whether you have a brain or not because its beyond ridiculous to blame NDP for this.
When will the idiocy end?
Right after the jam session so don't blame NDP people.
Mehson this must be a serious sign. can anyone honestly say **********************is a good rep for the youths and town boys around the block? This is our town centre we don't need shady people running it. Vote out corruption. Open your eyes people of the Virgin Islands do not let our country down get our young people away from *******. God bless these Virgin Islands that the right decision is made. Wake up people wake up the sign is there.
How can the community take a stand when our leaders are creating a culture of disrespect and ignorance and we accepting it? It's ok for our leaders to be telling people get the f*** out my face, it's ok to be cussing and carrying on. It takes a good leader to build a strong community!! You probably one of the few person willing to take a stand.
