Governor & Opposition 'collaborating' to undermine Gov’t– Skelton-Cline opines
“I take note on the matter of the Governor and the matter of the Opposition, and they are singing the same song and dancing to the same tune as far as I can tell,” Skelton-Cline said on the April 26, 2022, edition of his Honestly Speaking radio show on ZBVI 780 am.
“And it raises the question to the extent that they seem to be collaborating in doing everything they can to undermine the sitting government from the task that’s ahead,” he added.
Gov injecting self in local politics - Skelton-Cline
Skelton-Cline added that the governor continues to inject themselves into local politics by making pronouncements on matters for local politicians.
"First of all, the governor has no business in local politics... None. He is bent on injecting himself in the local politics.
"We did not elect the governor, the governor is here on selection representing Her Majesty's interest. We elected 13 people to the House of Assembly and it is those persons we expect to come before us with whatever concerns, deliberations, debates that they would have," he added.
Gov statement undermines Gov't - Skelton-Cline
Skelton-Cline said; however, when the governor continues to make statements that undermine the government, it raises a red flag and pronounced that it is the people who should praise or reprehend elected officials and not the governor.
The man of the cloth said the Governor's Office is therefore being used as a tool to cause confusion and retard the work of the elected government.
Meanwhile, he called out the Opposition for what he says was a collaboration with the governor on undermining the local government.
"I am not angry at the person who is the governor, it is the office and the way in which the office and this governor is using the office to be a hindrance to our recovery, to our development and it's not just now," he said.
Opposition crying fire where there is none - Skelton-Cline
Skelton-Cline added that the Opposition headed by Hon Penn sounds just like the Governor in crying fire where there is none to make themselves relevant.
Skelton-Cline called out the Opposition parties for what he said is a pursuit of power by any means to unseat the recently elected government.

Just let them people do their jobs. If they were not doing it the next headline would say. Two lazy servants both governor and opposition collecting free money monthly and the story will not end there. You know it and I know it. just stop this thing and focus on the positive.

I don't see eye to eye on everything they do for they made some blondes.but truth be told I have to give credit where credit is due. The good is they tried their best under some serious pressure and don't take that for granted. The County is still standing.
play the tape
most of the opposition keeps running to the former slave masters(history…the fahie & fraser matter a very classic example(the black brothers could not settle without the queen employed(so shameful
Nevertheless, the multi-party (NDP, Progressive United, and PVIM) opposition in the BVI seems to have adopted a Machiavellian (Niccolo Machiavelli) approach, ie, by any means necessary to arrest power from government. Like the Republican Party in the US, it lacks an agenda; its agenda seems to just say No. At least, that seems to be the word of choice for Marlon Penn, the opposition leader (The current government leader Andrew Fahie was also an active opposition leader). If attaining power the Machiavellian way, ie, by any means necessary, involves conspiring, conniving, and behaving like a Sambo with the UK-appointed Governor against your own people that is sickening behavior, self hatred, and self-reinforcing discrimination. This is the same shamefuland egregious behavior that prolonged and sustained slavery. The slave conditioning has resulted in too many of us internalizing the inferiority complex, embracing that white is right and black is wack. We must be proud of who we are whether we came from the Caucasoid Mountain or Mount Kilimanjaro.
Moreover, elected members are sent to the HOA to represent the people ‘s interest, not self interest or self promotion, and must be statesmen/women in representing the people.

Evidence still shows that, though not all, especially in the 21st Century, elderly people, though not as technical as smart ones are better advisors than most younger ones.This is a fact. This is true fact, because before one can becomes good leader, whether he, or she that person must be willing to first listen, secondly they read with an open mind, if they are able to do so, thirdly, they should properly examine its content fairly, if able to properly, have credible knowledge of their decision before condemning others actions as unfair
one should examine carefully before decisions why. Goveror John K.Haskin is a good listener, a good reader, a and good examiner. His good judgment ifof not allowing slick minded politicians, and suchlike prove true sensitivity of good character of better governance.for the people
