NDP Gov’t embarrassed; Mum on BVI Airways’ latest bombshell
However, today July 18, 2017 there is a deafening silence from the normally media present Doctor The Honourable D. Orlando Smith (AL) Administration.
Royal run around; ‘Nobody knows’ - Arline T. Penn
A call was made by our newsroom today July 18, 2017 to the Director of Communications Mrs Arline T. Penn and when asked if the Government has a response to BVI Airways’ announcement today that they laid off all staff and blamed the Government for them not flying, she said “NO.”
When asked whether we should speak to the Premier, Mrs Penn said “NO”, as she did not speak to him “as yet on the matter” and she will speak to him and get back to us.
When asked if we should speak to the Permanent Secretary (PS) Mr Brodrick Penn since the Premier and the Director of Communications had no answers, Mrs Penn reported that the PS was out of office. When asked who was the Deputy, Mrs Penn reported that the Deputy Secretary is Elvia Smith-Maduro and she placed the caller on hold.
No information from government
When Mrs Penn returned on the telephone, she said the Deputy Secretary Smith-Maduro had “left for the day.”
Our newsroom was not giving up so we asked for a number for the new well paid publicist Mrs Nadia J. Harris, who was hired a few weeks ago to help the Premier with communication especially, on social media, but Mrs Penn reported not to have a contact number for her or could not advise us how to get in contact with Mrs Harris.
Cows will fly first
Today in a bombshell media statement sent to selective media houses, the bankrupt BVI Airways, who the Dr Smith Administration bailed out with some $7.2Million of tax payers funds in exchange for direct flights between Miami and Beef Island, said it is still short on cash and laid off all staff, including pilots and flight attendants.
It blamed the NDP Government for having to take this action as it claimed the Government did not fulfil some obligations at the Terrance B. Lettsome International Airport.
Leader of the Opposition Hon Andrew A. Fahie (R1) has warned the public that cows will fly over the moon before BVI Airways flies. Today July 18, 2017 Hon Fahie warned that this matter is “serious” and we need nothing but the truth.

NOT my BVI look what it come too
I had warn ayaa. Barry sa U WILL HEAR
But should taxpayers cough up more money since it already invested $7.3M in this bad deal? Should government stay put and tell BVI Airways to start flying. But wait. BVI Airways says it is dead broke. Peronsally, I wouldn't give them an extra wooden nickel. BVI Airways need to go get a loan and meet their contractual obligation. BVI taxpayers are not in the loan business. And even if they were, they should not be loaning money to high risks borrowers. Glad it it is not my decision to make. Damn if you and damn you don't. Doc would not want to be you. You are saddled with sleepless nights, migraine causing, blood pressure rising..........etc problem. Physician heal thyself.
USA OUT SMART THE BVI- UK THIS IS THE WORST OF WORST FOR A SMALL ISLAND THE PREMIER WAS DRUNK WHEN HE MAKE THAT DEAL? WHAT A TOTAL F///. THEY ARE LAUGHING ALL THE WAY TO THE BANK.
The sad thing is, this administration keep on looking for ways to tax us... the territory is in a sad state!
Shut your pup up. What the Fregg UK got to come to do? All you always think white is right just like how them fooled you that Noah hauled in two of each animal in an ark, including two black worms, two black ants, two red ants, two kee-lee-kee-lee, two scorpions and two ladybirds. What ark did all these fit into? How did he know what their meal was to be for 40 days and 40 nights? They should have banged on Noah's door and eat all they found inside. Leave the UK out of our affairs. They do not have any plan to help us, always to enslave us. Bring them nuh. We will do the Rabbit dance on them; wait. Stop calling for the t****fing mF**er Queen and that blood-crawling nation UK to come here. They been here and let them now fry in England in their own Brexit fat now. Go home, Queen!!
