      Those prison officers also need to be charged for aiding and abetting then. Time for a shake up....time to prove that nobody is above the law.

    Please find a way to send all convicted murders who have life sentences to England. They do not hesitate to hurt other people. They need to be placed in a maximum prison facility for life.

      The UK should rescind our priveledge of citizenship. They didn't sign up for this...the people of the VI was a different breed. Now build it with known garbage placing some liability on the UK in addition to destroying the fabric of the VI. Let the VI bear the expenses connected with this idiocy...no way would we be able to afford the expense connected to having these type of folks nd to the extent of being the majority living and breeding a fatal future for the VI.
