      It always take a person like you to F**k up and put a damper on a person’s day. Stop with the negative old news comments. If you want to get ahead in life, you don’t look back.

      @ opposition. A year ago? You are wrong. How much did you get under the NDP regime of 8 years? Set of hypocrites you all are.

    And you are not going to get it. You know how things work in the BVI. The only way you will get an answer is if everyone stay away from the festival and don’t spend any money.
