UK’s narrative paints VI as ‘a lawless town’ to suspend constitution– Hon Malone
“April 28 or any of the activities after should not be equated to whether or not we can keep our Constitution. There are nations that run afoul, the justice system is there to take care of that. And I think that we must allow the justice system to work,” Hon Malone said.
The At Large Representative was at the time speaking on the Virgin Islands Agenda Open programme on ZBVI 780 AM with guest host Shaina M. Smith-Archer on January 17, 2023.
Uk narrative 'is not right'- Hon Malone
While referencing the arrest of ex-Premier Hon Andrew A. Fahie on drug conspiracy charges in the US, Hon Malone said the events of that day and subsequent events have now descended into a number of local arrests in the VI.
“We have a number of arrests that have been going on here and [it] seem as if they're going to be more. But should they be equated to whether or not we keep our Constitution? I say no,” he added.
Hon Malone said the narrative that is being forced currently in the territory is that the VI is a lawless town and unless the Constitution is suspended for two years that's the only way the VI could get better.
“… It is not right, it's incorrect,” the former Minister for Health and Social Development said.
'No justification' for Order in Council
Meanwhile, Hon Malone has called the UK's Order in Council to suspend the VI constitution as a guillotine on the head of the VI.
“It was wrong to place it in the first place. There is no justification for it and it should not exist. It has to be a violation of some world rule,” he added.
Hon Malone also said the existence of the Order in Council is causing persons in the VI to be doubtful about the 2023 election taking place.

The argument that you make makes no sense. The corruption and murders and cartel control etc. is a true fact - check your favourite news site, any week for evidence, and look around and see/hear how deep the dirty business goes (no help for police to solve the large number of murders? What?).
To say that those who point this out are lying, or saying it is 'perfect' where they come from is not an argument. They aren't saying 'be like white people in the UK' - which would be foolishness. They are saying 'what is wrong with all you? You don't care about corruption, murders, drug cartels, child molestation and terrible roads and almost zero education for 5 years etc?'
You twist it every time to try and blame 'caucasians' who are as varied as any group because they are what we all are - humans!
You however, have a political agenda that needs to deflect away from your own sins by saying 'but they sin, too!'. Like children the playground.
If your nation was truly in order, you would not travel South to complain about another man’s home…it’s pure jealousy and envy. You would be there living the good life with your comrades.
Moreover, Northern news journalists would have no need to report daily criminal activities such as corruption, murders, arrest of serial rapist which by the way includes the police, large drug bust, high unemployment, serial killer crimes, etc. and top UK leaders would not be replaced every few month. You cannot control your people in the north, and you definitely cannot control us in the South. If you have a problem with our leadership and our people leave and go back to your idyllic whitewashed wonderland of a home you have created in your mind. We will make it in the South with out you, believe that!
People like you just lie to make it sound simple. Only thing simple here is people like you.
What personal financial interests do you suspect the Governor and/or the staff at Government House have in the BVI?
Maybe a checking account at Republic? An NHI card?
1) The United Nations
2) CARICOM
3) USVI GOVERNOR
4) OECS
If all these were against actions of our public servants, local and Caribbean people and our politicians’ decisions and all of them kept moving forward regardless, the majority of us would have been hitting the ceiling if they failed to listen to them but we want to give the Governor and his UK Authorities a free pass. It is time to end dictatorships of any kind. It is time to end colonialism. It is time to end the two orders in council or any order in council and their attempt at direct rule. It is anti-democratic. We have to come together to stop this wicked act.
to purchase land , build houses and have businesses
To much talking,nothing happenning
Complain,complain ,
when outsiders tune in via television, radio or you tube and listen keenly to the political leadership and the simple minded controversial conversations any listener must get a bad impression
The former minister for health a few weeks ago stood in a sitting asking the current member for health all manner of stupid questions(play the tape
citzens of these little islands goes publicly just to pull down our own sisters and own brothers seeking to make themselves look good
all the slave master have to do is take out his notebook
talk to fu(! ng much
BVI is lawless - not a real place - the Wild West. We see and hear this all the time. It’s only that it’s coming from an outsider that it’s a problem.
I would beg to differ with the Hon. Mr. Malone. While the BVI has some policing issues, mainly the report from the Commission of Inquiry revealed what we all already knew to be true, that elected government in the BVI was based on whim and fancy, and very much not on the law.
you will see where the UK really stand. And while you are at it google the book "Police Power and Black People
