What powers are behind 'reckless' actions of Hon Vanterpool?- Claude O. Skelton-Cline
Mr Vanterpool, soon after being sworn into the House, had launched a contemptuous attack on Premier and Minister of Finance, Hon Andrew A. Fahie (R1), noting that the Premier had not been honest about the reason for this security detail.
Skelton-Cline, in his commentary on the Tuesday, July 16, 2019, edition of his show, implored that while the actions are concerning, it begs the question about who or what powers could be behind the actions of Mr Vanterpool.
Degree of Danger
“I found it quite interesting, the degree of the danger of it all, not just for persons whose names were called including his own, but for us as a territory. That always concerns me given the level of volatility… that is taking place in the UK, the Virgin Islands and the world,” Skelton-Cline said.
The man of the cloth continued, “It always begs to question when we see this kind of what I would term, for now, reckless display... That concerns me for all of the citizens of this territory and those specifically in the legislator and it concerns me reputationally as a territory.”
Apologising to the people for the Saga surrounding the D4 seat, Mr Vanterpool said the aim was to join the VI Opposition to hold the Government accountable in the HoA.
Launching an attack on the Premier and calling for UK intervention into the Premier’s alleged assassination threats, Vanterpool questioned, “why is this security detail that we have for Honourable Andrew Fahie, the man himself, and not for the position, the Office of the Premier?”
'Unseen Hands' – Skelton-Cline
According to Skelton-Cline, “When you see this kind of rhetoric, when you see this kind of a display it makes you wonder out loud, what and or who is behind this.”
He noted that Mr Vanterpool’s action may have been as a result of 'unseen hands' manipulating him, “What I saw and heard today is not the man I know, and so it raises some questions,” the ZBVI host implored.
He said, “In this particular context of us as a territory, the UK and its current posture, it just raises and has caused me… [to] force and wonder out loud what powers at the highest levels, is surrounding this that would give his the comfortability to come and say some of the things that were said.”

Maybe.
the truth hurts, I see mark with his large diary so lots more to be said... brace for it.
no one assumed you were insane. Why are you even talking about what Mark did????
Is this the way an elected member of our government should behave? I think not. Is this the kind of representation wanted in the fourth district? Definitely not. Unfortunate that all the nipple suckers hung around him cheering instead of admonishing him for acting in a manner unbecoming of someone who carries the title of honourable. There is a time and place for everything under the sun. Time and place for this vitriolic behaviour were in poor taste.
No wonder the whole country is going to hell in a hand-basket. We need to rise up and demand more from who we put in place to represent us. Outta control!
This is how a school child would behave. And the reminder of the class cheering because they don't know
better.
We taking this lightly and not seeing the seriousness of Mark actions outside the HOA.
