‘We're out in the cold again’ – Anegada resident
This is not a new expression of residents of sister islands especially Anegada and Jost Van Dyke. They feel as though they are treated like they are less important.
“They treat Virgin Gorda like the nice step child and we like the ugly duckling but they forgetting the part where the ugly duckling grew into a beautiful swan, elections coming soon and that is when they going come bearing gifts but it’s too late, keep yall sweet talk and bribery gifts, if we ain’t good for the morning glow don’t come by night and ask us to hold torch light fuh you,” said one resident of Anegada.
The resident is a parent who said he was very hurt at the fact that his nine year old child had overheard him and a senior teacher commenting about inviting a certain government official and some district representatives to the end of year activities on the island.
“While we were discussing my nine year old was with me and could turn and say, waste of time...invite Rotary or RiteWay or Digicel, daddy you know Mr Myron (Minister for Education and Culture Hon. Myron V. Walwyn) ain't going come… they don’t like we here, we live too far,” said the parent.
“Lobster Fest come and gone and that was our Christmas present from the big ones… they done with we here till elections next year and I wish we would just chase dem backside out cause we ain’t taking using again,” the man said.
Parents and teachers alike said that they did the polite and humble thing of inviting government officials and district representatives to several of their holiday activities including parties but no one showed not for even one activity.
