ROAD TOWN, Tortola, VI- Convinced that the Governor has been overstepping his authority and that there is a transfer of power to the United Kingdom (UK) despite the local constitution not being suspended, three Virgin Islanders decided to protest outside of the RJT Edifice ahead of a press conference this morning, July 1, 2022.

The protestors expressed concern with the set up of the Constitutional Review Committee and that the Governor has a hand in it and that the UK appears to be holding a gun at the head of the Virgin Islands, over the implementation of the Commission of Inquiry (CoI) Report Recommendations.

“I feel like things are bit out of control in the BVI. We know that we’ve made some mistakes, we’ve agreed to work with the UK to rectify those mistakes. Those mistakes were focused on good governance, corruption in office. That has nothing to do with our constitution and where we would like to go as a people, so we feel that the UK is overstepping that authority.  There are a lot of agendas at play, it’s very uncomfortable and it feels to me and a lot of other people that there is a transfer of power.”

People fought for Gov’t to change direction- Rosan

According to Rosan, the people fought for the government to change their direction but it seems the UK is instead taking over the reins of power.

“So what is it that we’re really working here for? Are we really working to better this territory or is it a transfer of power?”

The protestors said they are uncomfortable feeling like a gun has been placed at the head of the VI.

Rosan said she had been given a pass to the press conference as a representative of Tola Radio and she would be seeking some answers from Governor John J. Rankin, CMG.

More details to follow.

    When these big foreign powers overstep their boundaries they create a menace that they cant handle. Years of the US interfering in the Middle East inadvertently created Al Quaeda and led to the September 11 terrorist attack. Their actions led to radical Muslims hating America to point where they would kill themselves as long as it meant taking a few Americans with them. The UK is following this path where they have already victimized our ancestors and forced them to be slaves, now they’re slowly pushing their agenda and threatening to suspend our constitution and imposing another form of control on the descendants of slaves. These actions will only further cause hatred and anger towards the UK.

      The US Gov't itself is the cause the Sept. 11 terror attacks and the buildings collapsing by way of a controlled demolition.

        @ Ahhmm. Fact, the US blew up world trade buildings themselves to justify going over there to steal their oil. The US is responsible for horrible acts against humanity for centuries within their own country.

      They feel comfortable doing this because the people are nonchalant and care free about the matter. Just a lot of talk and blogging online.

    I really thought you women were smart but the more you carry on is the more stupid you look, because no matter what you say it’s not going to change anything. We are owned by the UK can’t you people get nit through your head, and most important the BVI need change.

    This UK territory a Jamaican Dominican Republic St Vincent Gui a na Trindadian dominated population of drug pushers prostitutesmurdrrers escaped prisoners human traffickers,thieves representive of the cultural practices and proclivities of their ifailed independent island .nations.
    A pile of gross and wasted humanity ..
    Respect has been lost for the BVI as a result of the change it has made and the depth to which it has willingly sunk.
    The waring illiterate and educated fools claiming to be activists are an embarrassment and an unwelcome nuisance whose regrettable favor of Belongership is akin to throwing pearls at pigs.

    The previous Governor ( Jaspert) expressed a like sentiment during his BVI appointment
    The "overstepping" in this current BVI tragedy was done by Cindy..
    Karma never fails.

      Cause just like the three here, the news media is trying to stir up anger and animosity amongst the people of the BVI. It's all a tactic, because the people here don't like nothing that is fair and right and educate themselves to the ignorance that's going on.
