UK influence on VI harmful to its growth- Edju En Ka
He voiced his views during the Umoja programme on ZBVI 780 AM on September 4, 2025, stating that since the Virgin Islands is a colony, a territory governed by Great Britain, many of the things the territory can do for itself are being discouraged, and that he believes this is largely due to its association with the mother country of Great Britain.
"Their governance of the Virgin Islands is attempting to point us in a direction where we should be looking to the outside, to outsiders to take care of us, to care [for] the businesses that we need to develop ourselves. We have to pay close attention to those kinds of things.’’
UK directives are causing problems for VI
Smith stated that UK directives have caused problems for the Virgin Islands' Financial Services Sector with the request for products to be made public.
"They fully well know that those businesses exist to hide things and do things they want to keep private, and when we make those things public, it is going to be harmful to our industry and cause us to lose business...What these administrators in England come here telling us how we should behave, all of these things that they are telling us are harmful to our growth and development, harmful to our sustainability.’’
He further stated, ‘’to me that’s where all of that’s coming from so that they could come and take over the industries that we should be able to develop so that they could have those industries and develop those industries and make that money for themselves and we become subservient to them because now they have the power of the production and we have the power of the consumption.’’

Some of us over 60 years grew up with no this and that about the UK
Just a Flash…
during the COVID had it not been for England the BVI would not have gotten certain vaccines
After the 2017 hurricanes UK was here offering security that was much needed
The UK wanted to help rebuild this territory after the hurricanes but the then NDP Government refused the Offer
Our Children can go to the United Kingdom and grad An Education
Citizen of this territory can move to London and work
Be honest
What do we have to enable this country to stand on its own 2 feet: there is a big difference between fact and fiction
What currency will we use
What do we have as border security
Who will actually do business with Us
- Corrupt politicians
- No Audited accounts
- Drug trafficking
- Bad education
- Bad infrastructure such as potholes
- Bad attitude towards work discipline
- Littering
- No adherence to rules & laws
Thank you Kaka for your valuable insights..
As such you have not become subservient to the UK. You are subservient to the UK. The UK has the power because the VI is a Territory.
If you cannot understand that what on earth are you doing blathering anything on the radio or the media?
He has lost all relevance.
benefit. virgin islanders know what they want and it sure not what they have been getting over the years. we tired let us decide it's our country.
I wonder if is UK that does tell politicians who to give contract to fix roads only for the roads to fall apart month's to a few years later over n over again paying the same set of crooks who did a poor job each time.
I wonder if it's the UK that build eshs so poorly that it floods out. No AC in the classroom still using windows and fan like we in 2001 etc
I wonder if the UK tell residents here to go and give primary and high school students sex drugs , weed and alcohol
I wonder if it's the UK that tell natalio to throw at party for young people who will attend and see a clear message at these party's involving sex,drugs, rum half naked women and minors, drugman and artist singing about fast life , sex , drugs, gangs and violence
I wonder if is the UK that tell us to give out cash grants to wealthy people while other people really needed it go Penny's or straight up denial
I wonder if it's the UK telling out politicians not to fix their government buildings so they can continue to rent out to their friends family and close circle
I wonder if the UK tell politicians to take the tax money and dump it into bank of Asia then after it fails give the owners more money again.
I can say a lot more but I'll be trying forever
But yeah
UK benefits
We get Estha which is done online fast and quick compared to waiver where you apply and waiting for how long to get it just to go USA.
UK offering BVI residents education and scholarships at schools in the UK for higher education.
UK was the 1st set of people to come with supplies after Irma while the politicians was scrambling and couldn't get their heads together
UK offered there advance vessel to help with COVID measures while our leaders opted for barges knowing dang well out history of trafficking humans and drugs via fast boats owned by "business men" with unexplained Wealth.
Yes the UK ain perfect but literally just being under them we get so much perks and benefits. Meanwhile our leaders can't put a proper price control in place. Them can't fixed the roads in a meaningful time or for long periods. Them can't keep water running in certain area's, them giving out money and contract's to there fellow elite circle, them ain doing ntn about the banks high interest and low returns. Them realise nobody except the elite can afford the ssb homes. Them buildings full of mould and renting so much tax money to other elites to benefit instead of fixing the buildings. Boi lemme done here for now
MP Rupert Lowe released one of the most explosive reports in modern British history.
His Rape Gang Inquiry has uncovered 85 local authorities across the UK where gang-based sexual exploitation of children has either taken place, or is still happening.
This is not just about isolated cases in Rotherham or Rochdale, the scale is nationwide, systemic, and decades long. Survivors, whistleblowers, and suppressed documents all tell the same story: officials ignored, silenced, and even protected abusers.
Responding directly to Lowe’s findings, Musk wrote:
“I would like to help fund legal actions against corrupt officials who aided and abetted the rape of Britain, per the official government inquiry.”
The establishment has worked for decades to bury the truth, but now the world is watching. If lawsuits against complicit officials begin to gather momentum, it could blow open one of the darkest cover-ups in Britain’s history.
There will be immense pushback. Expect the media to downplay, distract, and smear. But the facts are now undeniable: the rape of Britain was enabled not only by the gangs who carried it out, but by the officials who allowed it to continue.
