      They keep recycling the same people for different positions. Can any new young BVI landers get a job?

    This is the same problem why young people cannot get work,because these old folks who retire from a job,was rehire for a different position,so they are collecting double from the government, retirement money + a salary, and why does the premair needs an adviser? The people who elected the premier shouldn't vote because when you elected a person to do a job that mean you are confident he who what to do,having an adviser mean you're not sure what to do,we understand that you might not know everything but yet again that is why you hire minister mp's who have qualifications in that type of field, you have a bounch of sitting ducks in office who doesn't even know nothing about their jobs rather taken trips and have their secretary write out scripts what to say when they go to events.

    Is he not closely related to this Premier? If it ain't family it's someone he is inappropriate with being hired. Make it make sense Lord. I guess we had a C.O.I for nothing.

    Careful now, they are all born here and have more rights than some of us and I'm guessing they have supporters from the amount of dislikes your comment got.....which is disturbing, I guess a lot of people like a lil rodent sprinkles on their groceries.
