Selling out & making Deals at the expense of our People:
More and more Persons are talking to me about Politics and asking me not to say the things I do because, although they acknowledge them as truth, they want me to go along with what others are saying so I can be elected… Somehow they totally fail to understand that the only interest I have ever had in Politics was to make things better for those we serve so this Nigger is still not for sale.

Moving from Foolishness to Possibilities:
We have finally exited April; a Special Month - not just because it is All Fools Month but because this should have been the Month of Free and Fair VI Elections that could have forestalled those damages we have seen done over the past 10-months… Even those steeped in denial have now become concerned that Leaders are unable to show real accomplishments in the People’s interest.

How long must we pay for their Snap Election?
Just a year ago we looked towards April 2016 as the Official Time for BVI General Elections until this was later stolen in June 2015… Today, even those who ignored repeated warnings and supported this hijacked process are acknowledging the real damage already done during such a short space of time – Even they now feel pain as we approach Beggar Nation status.

Good Governance means holding Government & NHI Accountable:
As we approach the end of the 1st month of 2016, NHI Experiment is underway and we all will be able to assess its function and dysfunction for better or worse… I have been ridiculed for not railing against its arrival but I don’t mind because we should all be fair in our judgment and take time to compare and contrast similar situations before jumping to hasty conclusions – I shall take that time.

Is NHI as ready to deliver as the Public is to receive?
This is mid-January 2016 and, while I do not agree with the Minister that time for NHI Debate has passed or that it is going smoothly, I do agree that NHI started as scheduled on January 1, 2016… It arrived with both Promises and Threats and even as most of us retain our opinions regarding the pros and cons, both Consumers and Providers will finally be forced to see whether or not it functions.

Oops! NHI has come too far to fail so soon:
Rumours that B&F Medical Complex has yet to sign on to NHI may simply be a lapse in journalist delivery by the Media… We thought we would have been the last to sign on but no one’s Memory is so short not to remember that B&F Medical Complex made History by being the first to sign with NHI – even before Government’s own Medical Agencies - Seems they had doubted themselves.
