‘All of it is nonsense!’ – Hon Julian Fraser RA

ROAD TOWN, Tortola, VI – Chairman of the Virgin Islands Party (VIP) and Representative for the Third District Honourable Julian Fraser, RA has refuted allegations that he refused to shake the hand of a government minister and that he walked off during the playing of the Territorial Song at a ceremony.

A caller made the allegations on VIP’s Let’s Talk aired on ZBVI 780 AM last night, February 4, 2015 and asked Hon Fraser to respond.

“Brother Fraser, I respect you…Honourable Fraser. One time down on the [racetrack], my good friend [Myron V. Walwyn] was shaking hands and you refused to shake hands. And the national song, when they played it you walked off. I mean you said you will be a leader,” the caller said.

“I hate when people ask me these kind of things so I said when I go on the air I will ask him these kinds of questions,” said the caller.

To the caller, Hon Fraser replied, “I could probably see you now with somebody sticking a little note in your face saying ‘tell Fraser he walked off during the national song’, did he come back? I can’t remember doing something as dumb as that as walking away from the middle of a programme when something is happening. All these programmes are taped…maybe we should look at the tape and see if it’s true.”

“I don’t know anything about that…it is foolishness to be walking away from a programme in the middle of the national anthem or the national song,” he said.

Hon Fraser said too that he does not know what would prompt someone to make a statement about his not shaking the hand of Minister Walwyn. “On the racetrack of all places,” he said.

“Those are things that I believe are just being thrown up in light of what is taking place but all of it is nonsense,” he said, referring to the ongoing controversy involving former National Democratic Party legislator Eileene L. Parsons and her use of profanity to Hon Andrew A. Fahie (R1).

    Another reason why I will give VIP all my voters all 19 of them in my family. Instead the NDP apologize for the disgrace and disrespect of Ms. Parsons, they get joe jack to call tying to take LIES about Fraser.

    When fahie call them corrupt instead of telling us why they are not, they attack Fraser and civil servants.

    A bunch of wicked desperate people yet another reason why NDP must GO!

      The ranting of Ms. P ain't,t going to deter me from voting for Ronnie and Dr. Smith, nor is it going to deter me from voting for Andrew although I think he was being malicious in his intent

    Fraser is right, it is all nonsense on both sides, NDP and VIP, get over this nonsense and start working on the business of the country. The world will not stop turning because a politician refused to shake hands with another or may have said some silly words.

    It will be seen as poor judgment poor political savvy and a record of weakness for Dr. SMith not to speak out against Ms. Parsons and what she did ...
    This is political weapon for enemies inside and outside of the party...

    Best thing is to walk away like Fahie did...So who will lead Paul Whatley party now.?
