BAUGHERS BAY, Tortola, VI- Social commentator and Pastor, Claude O. Skelton-Cline, has lashed back at Hon Stacy R. Mather (AL), calling him immature.

Pastor Skelton-Cline responded to Hon Mather’s comments during the Continuation of the Ninth Session of the Second Sitting of the Fifth House of Assembly on September 22, 2025, where the 2022-2023 Constitution Review Commission (CRC) Report was being debated. 

Hon Mather, during his debate contribution, said, “There’s one colourful man on the radio who likes to say, ‘Where’s the list of things you’ve achieved?'” 

On his show, Honestly Speaking on September 30, 2025, on ZBVI 780 AM, Pastor Skelton-Cline responded briefly to Hon Mather during his show titled ‘The Future is Now’. 

It shows his immaturity- Skelton-Cline

“We saw Mather with some of his frolic, made his comment and in a case where he even mentioned me, and what it shows is in that instant, it shows the immaturity really of his person, and irresponsibility of his legislative duty, the lack of wisdom behind his words, and the poverty of his argument,” Skelton-Cline said. 

He added that the comment showed the “poverty” of Hon Mather’s argument, as he had to resort to personally assaulting a private citizen for having a different view. 

“There are particular rules in the Standing Orders around this matter, but I will leave that to the instructions of that have already been given.”

    We need to stop seeing Political elections as a popularity contest we are electing too many opportunists and dead weight. This particular representative brings nothing to the table. Could it be he has nothing to offer except a bunch of fluff.

    Claude is right! Mathers ain’t talk about one thing worth agreeing with since being elected… ranting about foolishness. Most recently , Gay marriage . We got bigger things in the territory to deal with .
