Former National Democratic Party 1 (NDP1) candidate in the 2011 election for D2, now a Virgin Islands Party (VIP). member Claude O. Skelton-Cline has described the Chairman of NDP 1, Hon Myron V. Walwyn (AL) as “the most divisive politician in the history of BVI politics.” Photo: Facebook

CAPOON'S BAY, Tortola, VI - Former National Democratic Party 1 (NDP 1) candidate in the 2011 election for D2, now a Virgin Islands Party (VIP) member, Claude O. Skelton-Cline has described the Chairman of NDP 1, Hon Myron V. Walwyn (AL) as “the most divisive politician in the history of BVI politics.”

Mr Skelton-Cline was at the time speaking on Saturday, January 26, 2019, in Capoon’s Bay on Tortola, as Chairman of the Virgin Islands Party (VIP) Hon Andrew A. Fahie (R1) presented his State of the District Speech.

Mr Skelton-Cline, a former Managing Director of the BVI Ports Authority stated that Mr Walwyn's politics is of “deliberate division.” He continued, “He has come this time around with his dog whistle politics putting locals against expats, our brothers and sisters from the Caribbean islands are our mothers, bothers, wives, we are married to them, why is he doing this?” the man of the cloth asked to thunderous applauds.

Walwyn Means Divide & Conquer

He said Mr Walwyn has “broken up the NDP with his divisive politics, chasing three founding members away from the party” and how “could a person like him—committed to divide and conquer—be the Premier.”

If that was not enough, according to Skelton-Cline, Mr Walwyn has now started to divide us from our neighbours in the United States Virgin Islands (USVI), “talking foolishness about they are eating our lunch.”

Hon Walwyn, whose parents are not from the Virgin Islands (VI), has a history of bullying, victimization and divisive politics. He continues to dislocate qualified Virgin Islanders and hire expats to fill public sector posts, most recently, the VI Technical School where he hired a Jamaican over other qualified locals and at Her Majesty’s Prison where he hired a St. Lucian instead of a local.

Walwyn no Good for one BVI - Skelton-Cline

In his continuous efforts to divide the Territory, Mr Walwyn told educators a few years ago that “we could do nothing else to protect locals.”

Hon Walwyn is currently under police investigation for a small wall he built around the Elmore Stoutt High School (ESHS) with a price tag of $1.6M. 

The Auditor General, Ms Sonia M. Webster in a report stated that the project was corrupt, no value for money, breaking of laws and that some contractors were paid, however, the work is still to be completed.

    Open eyes to what. With claude as the messenger really. Myron has more intergrity than you. You took money from the VIP government with Andrew as minister for education to deliver after school programe for hundred of thousand of dollars and to this day not one thing come out of it. Myron has done an execllent job for efucation in which he did deliver.

    VIP supports have a serious problem with expatriats. Aint Andrew the same one that said if a skill person come to the territory after a time period which is less than 20 years citizenship will be granted. Deep within the only reason such words were used was to get them same persons to vote for his party.

    We the expatriats that have rights to vote know deep within that the VIP do not support us. So when ever comments are being made like take our country back, we need to look out for our people they are talking to us but in a smart way.

    I am an independent voter yearning for change and I really cannot understand why VIP chose Claude as their spokesman and Campaign Manager. They were doing well until that choice. You are who you chose to have around you. The man has too much baggage: NPP, Pier Park, distasteful name calling, his disrespectful attacks after Irma on islanders who lived here for decades, can’t say good morning or good afternoon. The Man just want a sconsultancy contract or a position.

    Not good optics Andrew as you stand to lose voters like myself.

    He needed to pay Ghadize .Why is he and his people oppressing Ghadize. Just because he can't vote . Seems like when you can't vote you have no rights . Refuse to pay him the money he deserves but paying his croonies thousands of dollars to run a few blocks to build a golden wall simply because they can vote ...Sad...I remember the days when you couldn't keep Myron and Bozs off of Ghadize show. That was their main media to get their messages out and how Ghadize used to big them up. I feel Ghadize pain Pay the man ....Be the bigger man put this thing to rest ....

    Every election year we hear "promises" from candidates, be reminded these promises are based off of the expectations of what they want to accomplish but not necessarily accomplishable. With that all voters of the virgin islands have to stop hearing "sounds" and choose the candidates that can best carry us forward into a prosperous future. They all have faults, which lets us know they are human, but the Virgin Islands is too small to endure any more nonsensical rulers who only have their own personal ambitions ahead of the territory and its people. Sorry to say but choosing candidates is not an easy thing, however hear and know the candidates, view their character before they ran for politics, sometimes it might be self-righteous and then again not, so remove ones own person vendetta and decide who is best for all of us.
