Politician 'blocked' young lady who was hungry & needed help- Willock alleges
Mr Willock made the allegations while a guest on Tola Radio VI’s Da Morning Braff Show with host Rosemary Cindy Rosan on August 25, 2023.
The community-minded businessman was on the show to promote a back-to-school event he had organised in the Third District in collaboration with Ms Kishma P. Forbes of Virgin Islands School and Office Supplies.
‘I keep encouraging people to get off government’s tits’- Cindy
Ms Rosan commended the initiative and noted that people should become less dependent on the government.
“And another thing I like about all of this, I keep encouraging people to get off of the government’s tits. Remove themselves from Governments. Be independent. Take that chokehold that the government have around our necks where they can tell us yes, no or turn us into beggars, and do stuff for ourselves,” Rosan said.
Politician ‘blocked’ young lady- Willock
Willock responded that the reality is the Government can’t do everything.
“The government’s coffers are limited and remember the public is saying to me every time they go to the politicians for help all they are being told is they [politicians] don’t have any assistance grants.
“One young lady told me yesterday she was hungry, she reached out to a politician, he blocked her. it’s really serious out there,” Willock lamented.
Mr Willock did not disclose the identity of the politician or whether it was a District Representative or Territorial At Large Representative.

When someone needs help give it to them rather than they come out of a desperate situation KNOWING how little the society cares for them. Then after turning up our nose some of us we get on our high horses demanding those people be arrested for a long list of victimless "crimes" people turn to. Recall all those bars? The bartenders sell poison every night the rule book says its alright.
NO politicians are elected BY THE PEOPLE for the THE PEOPLE. There is no point in democracy if you have zero influence, after they are voted in REPRESENTATIVES must remain sensitive to the will AND NEEDS of the PEOPLE. You might as well go serve the KING.
I see you want us to live in an upside down governmental system where citizens serve the government and not the other way around. Government by definition should benefit the people. The crown is established by righteousness.
Your comment is so ignorant because you assume every government must function according to your definition, the modern definition of government which marginalizes the individual.
Your definition of "country" is the same as a corporation..... SCARY!!!
I voted. This is the VI, what the people of the VI decide upon is what should be implemented.
We can build an airport but without the ground control/air traffic INDIVIDUALS the whole thing is a waste.
Golden sidewalks for the country and poverty for the people right??? I think calling someone ignorant is probably because YOU have enough.... if YOU did not have enough would you tell yourself to get a second job or go to your well to do friends for help?????
What happens when you have no friends as the lady and its not food BUT CASH you need to pay for your living expense???
You probably wouldnt give a beggar food if they were starving, and rationalize it by saying they would buy drug with the food, that's your & many people's mentality.
Id happily be a retard than live without a heart & forget my humanity.
The unregulated professions which are purposely kept unregulated thus become incubators for violence or excuses for extreme tyrannical repression - think SINGAPORE
