She doesnt , unlike some, publicize the physical work she does for charity but she does it.
Fit, smart, dedicated to BVI, and scrupulously honest, she is a great candidate.
I dont see one better.
does her old r@*$ even eligible to run? she was born in Anguilla
Can she explain to our people her role in the $7.2M plane? What about the conflict of interest when she had a contract with the Ministry of Finance when her very husband was the Minister of Finance? What about the financial over up when she was at the BVI London Office? I have more!
Let us think unselfishly, and act reasonable. Base on the chaotic happenings in our of late, what make even think that your have the ability to positively remedy or calm these storms.
In and mine honest opinion, you lack the ability we now need. My opinion is that. you with draw your candidency. Our country at this critical time needs strong, positive, unselfish clear minded, caring minded leader than you you are, now, and can become at this time. Your time has past. Both you husband was and probably are a part of our ongoing problems.
Future generations like the incompetent ones there now?
She has impressive foreign experience and deserves a chance.

What a shame on Lorna. Don't try to fool the people. We would like to see your birth certificate on nomination day.
