UK approach to VI is like a child they want to direct– OECS Director General
The OECS Director, appearing on an episode of the Narrative with Calistra Farrier on October 27, 2022, said the method is almost as if the United Kingdom (UK) wants to control and direct the VI at the same time.
“The approach being taken by the British in the situation, it's almost like you know you have a child at your home that you're trying to correct and direct, yet you say that you're doing that to lead them to self-determination.”
Governor-led VI may not be best approach - Dr Jules
Comparing the situation to the education system, he said while there is a debate on discipline and correctness in the school system, some people are calling for rigid imposition of discipline, which he says may not be the best approach.
“I think it's the wrong focus. What we need to focus on is not enforcing discipline but on teaching responsibility and by giving young people the opportunity to be responsible,” he said as an example of the UK/VI relationship.
Dr Didacus hinted that a Governor headed country that would come with the suspension of the local constitution cannot be the best way forward.
“The unilateral determination of issues by a British Governor cannot be more abiding and superior to an elected government making decisions and being held accountable by the people of the BVI.”

On another note, given the evidence presented regarding the former Premier's nefarious dealings, if the leader of the country is so eager to get involved in such schemes, it very much looks like the unruly child is in need of some discipline.
What about a clear vision for the future.
Our government should represent the best of BVI and should welcome any assistance from the UK without worrying about getting caught in smuggling and such activities.
just sayin
