ROAD TOWN, Tortola, VI – Opposition Member in the Virgin Islands (VI) House of Assembly (HoA) Hon Carvin Malone (AL) says he is concerned at the current fiasco in the United Kingdom (UK), relating to the Alexander Boris de Pfeffel Johnson government and the resignation of key persons in government.

“I have concerned myself with keeping abreast with what happens in the region, especially with the Overseas Territories, especially the UK and the EU, because we are in the midst of a world crisis,” Hon Malone told Cathy O. Richards on JTV’s Big Story aired July 6, 2022.

He said the crumbling of the UK government and the resignations of Ministers have brought unstable conditions, given the existing order that has been laid before the UK parliament that reserves the right for the UK Government to suspend the VI constitution.

Governor John J. Rankin, CMG had previously announced that the Order would only be executed should the VI government fail to implement the Commission of Inquiry (CoI) recommendations in the agreed timeframe or there was a deliberate attempt to frustrate the process.

No support of interim UK Gov't - Malone 

“It is concerning to me, and I will say outright, I do not support any installation of an interim government or interim administration to run the affairs of the UK,” he added.

Hon Malone said the people of the UK must handle their own affairs and the people must be able to work it out with no interference from the VI.

On the direct local implications, he said a new Government could mean a new set of people heading the Foreign and Commonwealth Development Office and administering OTs, with the VI left in the middle of it.

“We would then have the permanent staff, civil servants of the UK only to turn to, and we have some issues that have to address. So we need be able to have a steady, stable UK government in order for us to to see us through this particular period,” he added.

Johnson resigns as Party leader

After a rebellion by members of his Conservative Party, UK Prime Minister Johnson will step down as its leader today, Thursday, July 7, 2022, after a wholesale rebellion of his cabinet, a wave of government resignations and a devastating loss of party support.

He plans to remain in the role of prime minister until a successor is chosen, likely in the fall; however, there was no indication of whether his party’s lawmakers, many of whom have turned against him, would go along with that.

      They affect us in ways we may not see.
      Suppose Labour leader Starmer (opposition) wants to give us independence and he gets elected? He then directs UK FO to start that process. Governor has to implement that process.
      If someone else is elected with a different agenda, they will direct FO to do other things.

    "but plans to remain as UK Prime Minister until successor is chosen"

    True to his character. Never could he be wrong he was campaigning while stepping down. We should be happy such a stubborn person is replaced. Its distasteful he refused Scotland on his way out. Reminds me of the Ex governor's behavior.

      Why does the current minister insist on testing upon entry the VI? That is a waste of time and money. It makes no sense. He needs to be pressured to make the change or step down.

    Just as planned, these NGOs, globalist CABAL take over. It was always the plan to deceive all world leaders (buy in the Great Reset Nonsense) and cause disruption to the present framework of Governance, for a new Order and a Reset of things. Now they'll continue this trend, all over the world Governments are showing they are incapable of fixing this mess. This is where a new plan of action will be introduced, a New One (New World Order) run by Corporation. Read some more and you'll see how much they've invested into this digital, technocratic control scheme. The inventory of all things using A.I and robotics, Gene-Edited food products, as we argue and fight about who's wrong or right. They have the next phase of the plan to roll out and this always requires massive sacrifice. (Freedom, Lives, Livelihoods) Every revolution requires this and we are in the 4th.....INR

    Ok so THIS is the angle you milking to get back into our good graces. It's funny how you have sooooo much to say about Boris and how unfortunate his leadership was, but you can't see that he and Andrew in the same boat. Do you think we have not forgotten that you were quite comfortable in a seat on that boat? When you open your mouth the words hold no bearing with many of us. If you love the BVI as much as you say then retire.
