UPDATE – OJ mocks Minister Fraser’s “one man comment”

SEA COWS BAY, Tortola, VI – The incumbent of the 3rd district, Julian Fraser, comment stating that “if he falls, the VIP falls” was ridiculed by his challenger at a tent meeting held in Sea Cows Bay last evening, November 3, 2011.
Kevin ‘OJ’ Smith, the 3rd district candidate under the NDP’s umbrella, told supporters it was the most outrageous statement ever in the history of the Virgin Islands, which is contradicting the “very legacy that the VIP [Virgin Islands Party] is trying to stand on”.
“You mean to tell me that after 40 years if I want to get rid of the VIP I only need to get rid of one man. You mean to tell me that the subtotal of the VIP is one man, the man who says he is better than all the rest! Now we understand, that is like saying that you are the VIP. That is not self confidence that is something else,” Smith mockingly stated.
On October 31, 2011 at a rally in the 3rd District at Sage Mountain, Minister Fraser was speaking about the Ocean Conversion saga when he said his reward will come on November 7 for all the “nonsense that went on for the last four years”.
“… the NDP had one goal in mind to get rid of Fraser. They know that if Fraser fall the VIP falls, that is their goal but it ain’t going to happen,” Minister Fraser said at the rally.
Smith further claimed that Hon. Fraser is so desperate that he is likening the party onto himself and if he was a VIP supporter he would not stand for that.
“We have no interest as the NDP in not even trying to move one man. We seek to save and to represent the one country we have and the one future that is ours from our birth right…if to remove the VIP, it means we have to remove you (Fraser) then come November 7 you will be removed from office,” he declared.

He added to the vociferous crowd, “Then you call yourself the galvaniser and you can’t even galvanise your own party, but you tell the whole world that the whole party is riding on your narrow shoulders. One man, by one man… One man put stop light around the roundabout and one man did not have the humility to apologise for his mistake, but instead the leader of the country had to apologise on his behalf. One man stood up before you elections past and said to you good people of the Third that if he does not fix the sewerage problem during his term you must not re-elect him, please oblige. The same sewerage that the one man promised to fix has already killed our reefs, and the entire ecosystem of our bay has collapsed.”
Smith did not stop there, he further claimed that “one man” landfilled the bay area in the district for property under his family name and charged that even members of the family are familiar with what the plans are and have the audacity to call it an economic development.
Touching on the Sea Cows Bay Harbour Development project, Smith said by law the Government is required to have public meetings with the individuals who the development will affect; ensure representation is made before the plans are approved and submitted, and put up signage in public areas of the impending development.
However, he claimed none of the above-mentioned things have been done.
“Today we have not seen any signage, have not been able to make representation nor have we seen any publication in the Government’s official gazette. Yet we are told by one man that it is a public development. So if it is a public development then why does it not confirm to the law which governs public developments,” the NDP candidate asked.
“That type of galvanising will not stand up in the economic state we are in, and unless we work together and hold one another accountable, we will sail together…no more one man gang,” Smith noted.
Continuing to mock Hon. Fraser, the NDP candidate said, “One man writes out the legacy of our forefathers who believed that BVIslanders should prosper in their own country…one man seeks to undo the past sacrifices of our past leaders who thought we should do everything to promote BVIslander ownership. There can be more prosperity, jobs opportunity for our people.”
According to Smith, the Sea Cows Bay Harbour project is underway without the full consultation of "all the people.”
Smith assured residents once elected he will fight to protect their investments, and pointed out that “one man brought BiWater to our shores and caused a water upheaval in our country despite the fact it is still the Government’s responsibility for the distribution lines. He refuses to acknowledge that we have distribution issue with the water.”
He continued: “The liberator who liberated us from high price of water although the water plant, which sits on the Fraser’s property is charging the Government $18.92 for every 1,000 imperial gallons, has neglected to tell you that BiWater has brought to our shores cast iron pipes that we have refused and no longer use in this territory. If you don’t believe me take a trip up to the site and see for yourself.”
“Mr. Liberator it seems that what you will liberate us from now is our good health, but I submit to you that the people of the Virgin Islands will not stand for such things. Mr. Liberator since you carry the weight of the whole VIP on your shoulders, since you are the man better than all the rest and all of that, you can’t even get our hospital finish, can’t get no mini hospital on Virgin Gorda, but you bring us rusty pipes to liberate us from our good health. On November 7 we will liberate ourselves from that kind of leadership,” OJ further claimed.
The novice politician informed supporters that his aim for contesting the seat is to represent the constituents, and views himself as the employee to make sure their needs are met and the critical issues in the Virgin Islands and the district are properly addressed.

I wonder why he didn’t mock the other comment about Fraser being the galvanizer. You all NDP men too wutless. To those of you who will say what that got to do with anything, it has a lot to do with integrity and morals. A major underlying factor of how government ministers make decisions has to do with character and integrity! OJ, we don’t want you, we have the liberator and the galvanizer!
look how he turn he back on vincent..lol…por vincent
Oh the arrogance! The liberator/galvaniser/counselor/better-than-all-the-rest needs to be mocked. I hope he enjoyed his term, because it is now over.
Fraser self praises his self so much that he thinks he is bigger than life. People need to open their eyes and see that this coming 4 years is very crucial for the BVI and if we do not vote out the ruling party we are in deep problems. People need to stop and think about their future, the future of their children, grand children and the the entire generation. People need to stop and see what is happening in Greece and depending what the outcome is, the entire world will be in a financial disaster which include the BVI!!!! So lets go to the polls and vote out the VIP!!! All they are interested in personal gains. By the way that money Fraser wants to spend he would never get it because that is why the UK have not given the ok as yet because they do not want the VIP to get that money because of their foolish spending.
OJ, you have my support and vote come November 07, 2011 as I think Fraser needs to be removed. I cannot understand though why you are getting caught up in playing his dirty game by making mockery, airing faults, etc.!!! Please, just continue to inform the people of the 3rd district what your plans and goals are, and do not succumb to VIP/NDP Bashing. I know you are better than that, and I expect it from you…..
when u meet a bully..u cant be a sissy dread!
Boy Frazer you gone for sure. VIP Loyalist, Peter Cumble & Sea Cow’s Bay Gal…….put that in your pipes and smoke it!!!
I could shake your hands right about now. OJ all the way. Fraser you time is up.
BAM, look blows!! HAHHAIII!!!!! Where Biwater going with those rusty pipes? Let me hear what his cronies have to say about this!!! GO up to Paraquita Bay and check out those pipes, those things will KILL PEOPLE!!!
On Monday November 7, 2011. I will be voting for Kevin “OJ” Smith and drinking my cold refreshing OJ at the same time. How sweet it is. NDP all the way!!!!!!!!!!!!!
We trying to replace the iron pipes with PVC pipes so that water wouldn’t be brown and you want to tell me BiWater putting back them kinda pipes???????????????????????????????????
YES I am glad OJ brought it up! You don’t have to take his word for it, visit the site for yourselves! Ask the Water and Sewerage personal what kind of pipes those are. This man want to kill his own people and talking about ‘good deal’ and how much we saving? Of course Biwater saving because they want to install cheap rusty pipes. How none of Fraser blind supporters commenting on that? They backed in a corner now and can’t say a word because it’s FACT!!!
The pipes are hazardous to our health and we need to ensure that they do NOT use them. I don’t mind if becuase of Fraser we are stuck with Biwater. But if they will be doing this project, they need to do it with our well being in mind!! Our own representative doesn’t care about our health, WOW!!! Fraser, what is wrong with you?
For real, them cast iron pipes goin poison us slowly.
plase keep them in tola.

Fraser provides all these useful and humourous sound bites and people are expected to ignore them? This is politics. Fraser’s mouth is his downfall. OJ did not make this stuff up.
fraser way out infront
By voting for NDP you will secure a bright future for your children. NDP is the best hope for the future. When Julian Fraser is out on Monday the 3rd District will be the “forgotten district”. This will be for voting us out back in 2007. The NDP can smell victory on 7 November 2011.
Kevin boy Fraser going give you one man! He going wip you out come election day you wait boss
OJ you all better check that Elections Office. Fraser does anything to get a vote. Think about it. You really think you have a credible certain individual working in there and I am NOT referring to the Head.
Some people would do ANYTHING for money. I understand it had some district swapping in the 3rd. ELECTIONS OFFICE NEED INVESTIGATING.
THE VIP PEOPLE SO BLIND THAT THEY TURN A BLIND EYE TO ANYTHING THEIR PARTY DOES.
ONE THING WITH NDP WE HAUL UP OUR PARTY IF THEY GET OUT OF LINE.
