Kishmet B. Daniel throws VIP under the bus
The meeting was held at the Valerie O. Thomas Community Centre in Sea Cow’s Bay with the featured speaker being National Democratic Party (NDP) Third District candidate Mr Kevin ‘OJ’ Smith.
Speaking of her reason for calling it quits on the VIP and throwing Hon Fraser under the bus, Ms Daniel referring to an accident her family was involved in last year. “I want to say 13th July, Sunday, coming down to the laundry we were coming down in a Chevy Tahoe, we fall at 160ft down, roll 12 times and survived, look at this,” she said pointing to her children on stage.
“When I was in the hospital and I came home, my son was so mash up, my husband shoulder was broke, when you so good no matter where part your people working you does look out for you,” she said.
Ms Daniel told the audience that it was shortly after the accident that she received a call that the electrical box was being removed from her home. “I was in that place with my children, no water, no current, I called for my representation for the stroke of my X for sixteen years, there was none,” she told the audience as she broke down in tears.
Those present heard that she was in the streets with her children and despite being in pains from the accident they were forced to move from the place they once called home. “And you going tell me you want be the Premier? This is the country (pointing to her children and herself) I is the country. Look them here, preacher, teacher, lawyer (pointing to her children).”
A former VIP power house supporter
As she continued to throw Honourable Fraser under the bus, Ms Daniel said that she was one of Hon Fraser’s power house supporters who before now, went everywhere campaigning for the VIP and in particular Hon Fraser. “That’s why I tell them, I aint switch I transitioned in natural…. I announce the death of the Virgin Islands Party… thirteen years ago they were done dead.”
The public ‘transition’ of Ms Daniel did come as a surprise to many as she was very vocal in support of the VIP and heavily criticised the NDP government for years. At several meetings she spoke of her hardships in trying to secure a better livelihood and was being neglected by the NDP.
There were many instances also where she spoke of the level of support she would have gotten from Hon Julian Fraser.
Ms Daniel was one of the biggest critics of the New Craft Alive Village especially as she blasted the NDP for the fees and other conditions imposed on her and other stall holders.
Where Ms Daniel’s loyalty really stands, however, is unclear as she was seen on Nomination Day apparently nominating persons in the race other than the NDP and the VIP.

She need to look a darm job to make money to pay her darn bill and stop relying on the representative for the third district to supporting her and her children. Look at her family they are working and paying their bills they are not waitng for hand out from the ministers. Kismet is well educated why she won't get her lazy @$$ up and go look a darm job. Just what she do Fraser she is going to do you all. Stop paying her bills and you will see happen to you all after. She call you all down the same way she call Fraser down. Kismet you don't bite the hands that feed you.
You may have transitioned as you claim, however you have simply joined the culture of DISRESPECT. We can all have differences in political affiliations however I am sure your mother thought you to not bite the hand that feeds you. Transitioning entails leaving old things in the past and elevating yourself to a higher standard. As such Mrs. Daniels elevate yourself without all the hate and bitterness.
Just sick of coming on here and realising that my beautiful Virgin Islands is filled with a bunch of idiots who take everything in the political arena so personal. We have the right to disagree but can we do it respectfully. We do not live on a rock segregated from the rest of the world. Out here in America and the rest of the world the only thing that's seen is a bunch of small minded people who tear each other down because of differences of opinions. Then we wonder why others come in and reap the benefits that we feel we are entitled to.
So what if she went in support of her family to nominate him
SHAME..........THIS WOMAN ALWAYS LOOKING HELP....... NO ONE SHOULD FEEL SORRY FOR HER BCAUSE SHE PREGNANT AGAIN THIS IS NUMBER 9 CHILD AND SHE CANNOT TAKE CARE OF THEM.
cannot believe they are saying these things about the man who have helped financially for all these years given money to shop every month furnishing home and putting money in pockets for so long.this betrayal really leave me stunned
Seems like Kishmet was and should be blaming the NDP for not addressing the road issues sooner.

BLAME NDP FOR NOT HAVING THE ROAD FIX! Dont come degrading Fraser's name saying he wasnt helping you! STOP LOOKING A HAND OUT AND LOOK WORKKK!
All whose wTer doesn't cut off before the sun set say I ... Nobody ? Then swallow your comments just like some of your swallow your children you know you won't take care off . #LeavePLLAlone
Would seem that when people/a family is homeless or in need, Social Development is the logical department to which one turns. Not any individual or political party!!
Reason why people would turn to a politician/political party/candidate points to lack of government through its ministries and departments to provide proper information about how to access social services.
It is the responsibility of the various ministries, their departments, to educate/inform the public; including children in school.
Pity that there is so much boasting about how economically successful the BVI is but when it comes to common-sense, practical matters, it is a failure it deserving F! To repeat, F!
I agree with the person who pointed out that the NDP will be treated in the same manner as the VIP. NEVER TRUST A TURN COAT!
NDP ,you do more damage to yourself and people like Ms Daniel. Have you bothered to provide the proper guidance as to how she should conduct herself. By allowing her to vent in public, you have, unfortunately, placed her in a position where she is likely to be ridiculed.
She living by the creed of "be fruitful and multiply" then expects government via the district rep to take care of her and household. Well the freebs have to stop at some point so when OJ tires of her I hope she keep her mouth shut and don't run back to VIP...good riddance.
This dumb a** need to
1) stop having children
2) because she is brokes
3) she need to look a job because she is brokes
4) she need to STOP bringing her children into her bullsh** and stop relying on the Damn VIP , NDP weh she going go next PEP?
5) that's why social services are there boo, to help you
6) stop making yourself look stupid and giving people "thing to talk" eh
On another note this lady has serious issues that she must take personal responsibility for as being fruitful without any consideration for how you are going to support your offspring is akin to recklessness. Times are hard and many are in need of help so for her to think that she must get priority is selfish and inconsiderate bearing in mind that she made her own bed.
Fraser has some blame to share as he facilitated this dependency but ultimately every individual has to bear responsibility for his/her decisions. Also the other four representatives are simply redundant when it comes to who you are and who you support. The at large representation was not created for that purpose.
Tha girl is just ungrateful bas***d stop breed then things will be good for you . Fraser not your husband.
