  No matter who the country it is wrong and non democratic to have any other country suspend another country's constitution.

  A lot of people do not realize if the UK suspends your constitution they are in control fully which means they are in control of Immigration. This is significant because through a set of non electer UK public servants like the Governor and others he will put in place can pass laws and policies to make all UK residents automatically BVI residents. This means at anytime any of the 5 million UK residents can come and live and flood out the BVI and each OT. This will out number each country so the issue of independence will be dead as they will always have the majority to vote it down. This is one of their intentions so BVI and all Caribbean OT watch the game. STAY AWOKE.
• Preserve democracy (09/10/2023, 11:50) Like (14) Dislike (6) Reply

  Elections in the BVI allows for democracy where the people's voices through their votes are heard. They vote who they want to represent their affairs. If these people are not working in their best interest then the people have the power to vote them out in the next general elections and vote in new leaders. Neither the UK nor their Governor has ever ran for office in the BVI and asked the people to select them to run their affairs. So no order in council should give such powers to non-elected people to run the affairs of the BVI people or any other country. It is not right. It does not represent good governance nor democracy. It is high handed and a modern day slavery whip, law, and action. We must educate our people of these facts and we must stick together to preserve not just our democracy but to preserve democracy itself. Such anti democratic actions should be banned worldwide as these actions are wrong no matter the reason.

  Most people who cheat on their spouse usually testify that when it started and for a while into it everything sounded sweet and everything was sweet. They showed more caring for them than their spouse. They looked out for their well being more than their spouse. They even took care of them in terms of money and honey than their spouse. Those that leave their spouse to go with their fling end up realizing that the grass is not greener on the other side. As matter of fact they turn out to be worse than their spouse and what they did to them they found out they were now doing with others.
  
  This is how the UK have some of you behaving and thinking about your own people and leaders. But believe me when I say for those who want the UK to take over thinking life will get better & be better you will regret the day it happens because their history shows where ever they took over they made life worse not better for the people. Becareful of their nice words now. Beware of their end game by playing the corruption and abuse of power card. Be mindful of anyone who claims everyone other than them are bad, corrupt, and greedy. BVI Becareful. This is a well organized plot to suppress and enslave using modern day slavery tactics. We are proud of who we are and where we came from and where we are going as a VI people.

  History shows that whenever the UK realizes an OT is developing and making advancements towards independence they always come up with a well organized plot to claim corruption and get the people divided with no trust in each other and their leaders so the movement can be thwarted in a way it looks like the people doing it when really it is them. People are up to their games. Release the OTs because the UK has failed to raise their children and they had to raise themselves now they want to come to force them to be children again because they are claiming they do not like how they turn out. This is not only ignorance but oppression. Free the people now not later. We the people build the BVI together with little or no help from the Uk.

  I ask of the Governor to please tell the people of the BVI the TOTAL cost of your COI including: All travel, salary and other benefits of the Commissioner & each staff (even if they were UK public officers), accommodations, consultancies (including psychic cloaked as consultant or investigators), all fees to lawyers including Rawat and others, housing, all accommodations, security(even if RVIPF), man hours and fees per hour, and everything else under the sun leaving out nothing. Please tell if any of these services were tendered and if not why not? Is so, which ones and where was the ad lodged? Until the Governor answers these questions truthfully then I do not want to hear nor see him as he has loss all credibility in most of the public's eyes due to his do as I say with transparency and good governance but not as I do with thier colonial mentality.

  The new register of interest act makes it mandatory for all elected and public officials to register their interest and make them public knowledge. However, the Governor and all his UK staff working locally in the BVI have insisted they be exempted from doing the same claiming they did so already in the UK yet many questions continue to linger about ill gain wealth by pass Governors while serving among other UK officials but they can look into anyone but no one can look into them. It is these kinds of high handedness that bothers people about the actions of the Governor and UK while trying to portray that their goal is fairness and balance when in fact it is about dominance and control. We must continue to improve where we need imoroving but we must also fight these things and speak out against them.

  We all agree our country has done well but must now strive to improve in certain areas and is doing its best to do so. But what about discussing a modern day slavery whip of an order in council to suspend a constitution in the 21st century until things like the judiciary, the 48 unrealistic COI recommendations, and others are operating how a mere few men from the UK want it to operate & be implemented. How can this be correct when there is no law in place to also hold a Governor and UK accountable. People still want to know and see the ad with the criteria and salary offered to the person selected to do the COI. Was this tendered? Was this advertised? Who vetted the applicants? Was the person hand picked? Who decided the salary and terms of reference? Who paid for it? Was this all done according to the COI AcT in BVI? Why can't these questions be answered? Why only one Commissioner for the COI was selected? Was this by design to get a specific result? Why was he from the UK? Why the UK, UN, CARICOM, and OECS, could not each independently name a Commissioner to sit on a board of Commissioners to allow transparency and fairness to do the COI? Why was the staff for the COI selected solely by the UK & were all from the UK? Why was all the COI staff persons from the same UK department as the Governor? Was the COI really independent and transparent as the Governor is claiming? Would we think so if what was done by the UK to initiate the COI was done by our local elected officials? Did the Commissioner of the COI lie to immigration and Customs when he came to BVI and did the Governor on Why he was entering the BVI? If so, is this not an illegal act punishable by law? Who really wrote the 48 recommendations in the COI report? Where they written before the COI started? Where is the other government UK lawyer Cox report? After all every story has 3 sides, yours, minds, and the truth. Where is the letter the Governor wrote to the UK in confidence asking for the COI? Was it factual? Where is the letter the Governor wrote in confidence asking for the Order in Council to suspend the constitution? Was it factual? The BVI public needs to see all these things so history can be accurately recorded. The BVI public needs to know all these things. The BVI tax money pay for a seperate lawyer for the Governor for the COI so why is the Governor, UK, & some locals upset about the speaker's lawyer bill being paid by taxpayers? What is the difference? The Governor is im charge of the police. Is he using them with the UK Commissioner of Police to promote their cause through abuse of power? The well organized intentional negative narrative the Governor & UK Officials is painting on the BVI is seeming as if it is currently working somewhat because the REAL TRUTH is not getting out. The FULL TRUTH NEEDS TO BE SET FREE. Then and only then will the BVI & ITS PEOPLE be set free.

  The Governor needs to be asked what will cause the slavery whip of the order in council to be removed from the BVI and get his response in writting and documented. I get the feeling he will never answer straight as I am sure it has nothing to do with the recommendations although they are using it as a front. Ask the Governor if all the recommendations are implemented in the unrealistic time alloted then will it be removed. His response I am sure will be the same as you can never trust these people.

    Consider your statement. We see how elected officials operate. They only act when they want people to vote for them. They only do favors for the people who they know supported them. There is conflict of interest all over. Their interest is not the people. Their interest is their own. That is why we are in the mess we are in. When you do not need someone's vote in order to be in a position to do your job, then when you act, you are acting in the interest of the people with no strings attached. Whether one is voted for or unelected, abuse of power can take place by anyone with power. If the government were not abusing their powers and were actually performing, then I would say yes, there is definitely an abuse of power by the governor. His tactics are heavy handed and unnecessary, I would say. But this is simply not the case. It is hard to argue that the governor is abusing his power and that it has anything to do with the fact that his position is an unelected one when we are being insulted everyday by the stupidity and ignorance of the elected government. The office of governor needs to remain an unelected one. Maybe choice of governor should be in question instead in that he should be selected based on a set of criteria which includes evidence that he understands the culture of the BVI and can relate to the people on different levels. The ideology that what works in UK will work in BVI is flawed so to come here with that fixed mentality will create tension between the people and the governor. But the office must remain an unelected one or else we are just asking for more problems.

  The problem is not the UK. The problem is the incompetent, thieving, lying, immature government. I am sick of hearing Sowande blame everyone else. They going on about COI the same way they were going on about Irma. What the hell are you doing about it? The changes that need to be made, make it! The problems that need to be addressed, address it! But no, the government is too incompetent, too inexperienced, too immature and too asinine to know where to begin. In their minds, the more you travel, then the more it look like you doing work. What is the outcome? Nothing except a beating on the public's purse. You do not need to go to Monaco, Singapore, the UN platform to look like you doing something. You still look incapable and incompetent like a waste of time. You need to get to work on the recommendations and stop making stupid decisions and spending money on stupid things as if there is no tomorrow. When the supposed leader has less competence than a below average man, we all in trouble. LORNA can have a standing ovation for being the prime example of what making stupid decisions look like. Do Not Make Them! is the moral of the story. The country is doomed for generations to come. Sad but true. If UK need to dissolve the house and call another election now, what is the basis, what are the grounds. People need to open their mouth against the fraud committed by Lorna. That is the basis. The coalition is illegal because Lorna was not representing the party that she purported to be a part of. She was not the voice of the party and had no authorisation to sign anything. She defrauded the people who voted for her SOLELY because they expected her to work with the party. She would not have gotten more than 100 votes had she run independently. If you ask me, democracy is in a crisis. We need to fix this mess or else political candidates will continue to defraud the people for years to come. If they rightfully consider this matter and rightfully penalize Lorna for fraud, strip her of her title, dissolve the non-coalition and call another election for her replacement, then this would be a new precedent in the name of democracy. This is what the people should be asking for.

If the asinine people in government were not asinine, there would be no problem but clearly, this is not the case.

  The VI may be opposed to the Monarchial order in council but talk is not enough to fight or oppose it. The fight, the opposition must come from a majority of people, not a few. What has the VI people done to embolden the UK ordering the Order in Council in the first place? Furthermore, what has the VI people done to fight the Order since it has been issued? Nothing constructive. We have shown disunity, no group collective, cooperative and collaborative effort, no sense of urgency or sense of purpose, showed dogged altruism that the colonialists, Mount Olympus, has the VI back and best interest, a strong distrust of locals, self/discrimination, etc.
  
  Moreover, if change is going to occur, people have to fight, agitate, advocate, protest, etc for it. However, instead of leading the people fighting collectively, cooperatively and collaboratively for change, the governing structure is leaning heavily on the UN to effect the change we want. We are leaning on the UN as the primary force to take us to the self-determination route, destination and promise land. That is wishful thinking. Well, the UN lacks the power to direct the UK or any other member to take any any action the member don’t want to do. A member will take action if it wants to, for if it refuses there is no serious consequences. The UN is an impotent agency.
  
  We, the current group of Virgin Islanders, are morally obligated to leave a better VI for the next generations of Virgin Islanders. To do so , we must plan the work and work the plan. The following is a quote from the Premier:
  “ The Premier during his press conference said while strengthening the governance structures is one important goal to be achieved from this process, it is also critical that the struggles and achievements of the VI's foreparents are not allowed to fall in vain and that "we are able to pass on the baton to the next generation of Virgin Islanders.” Would our foreparents be proud of how we handled the baton they passed onto us? Would they be proud of how we are running the race? No, they would be highly disappointed in our behavior, attitude, selfishness, limited progress, etc.
  
  Again, if we want change, Virgin Islanders must be leading the charge gallantly from the front for change as our foreparents sacrificed, fought, battled, protest, etc unselfishly for positive change. As the venerable Abolitionist Frederick Douglass said: “ No struggle, no progress.” Time for us Virgin Islanders to get off our a$$es and get to work battling for change, positive change, etc. Delay is our enemy, not our friend in this instance. The cost gets hundreds of orders in magnitude greater the more and longer we delay. There is a huge opportunity cost in delaying.

    To Contrarian, Abolitionist Fredrick Douglass may have said, “ If there is no struggle, there is no progress.” Our forebears were abused, exploited, etc., during slavery. Out of slavery, they struggled economically, socially,,politically and culturally under the yoke of colonialism. The hardships got more acute when the colonialists bolted from the territory after Emancipation supposedly deeming the territory as only useful as bird sanctuary. Nevertheless, in spite the hardships and through sheer rugged individualism, our forebears persevered, struggled , etc, making instrumental social, economical, and political progress. The green shoots of progress started with the Great March of November 1949, the Noel Lloyd and PAM Wickhams Cay and Anegada Protest, the transitioning of the economy from subsistence agriculture to services, ie, tourism (1960s) and financial services( 1980s). These series of events moved the BVI from being a little neglected and forgotten sleepy hollow and the poor house of the West Indies to having one of the highest standards of living, quality of life, human development index, etc., in the region. This economic and commercial success have resulted in the slaughtering and neglect of social and political progress on the altar of commercialism, permitting the colonialists to return with colonialism with its political control, exclusionary, exploitation, racial supremacy, special privileges and entitlements, etc. Belatedly, some Virgin Islanders have recognized the errors of their ways and want political and social change but unlike the struggle, perseverance, sacrifices, etc of their forebears to effect change they want to make a supposedly futile path to progress. They have a myopic path to change and progress. They take individual paths to progress instead of the more effective and connected group effort. Disunity is poisoning the well of progress. As others have noted, we are drinking the divide and rule cool aid, stifling political and social progress. Self-discrimination is cancer to political and social growth. As you noted, if Virgin Islanders want real change, they not the UN, Caricom , OECS , etc must unite as a group and be change agents for real, sustainable, and resilient change. Change cannot come by hoping for it, it must be demanded. Those with power never give up power ( they add to it); it must be demanded.

      @Political Observer (PO), instructive, informative, deep, profound, etc, commentary. True, people with power don’t easily and readily, voluntarily give it up, ie, viz , autocrats, dictators, totalitarians, and other anti-democratic agents. They don’t wake up one day and say , oh, I have too much power. Instead, they move to increase their power, influence and control. Nelson Mandela, Pope Benedict XVI, King Edward VIII are the exceptions. Power has to be wrestled/demanded from them through sacrifices, struggles, fights, etc . Colonialism is an extractive political and economic institution. It is exploitive, violent, genocial, racially superior, practicing social Darwinism, etc. Regrettably, some Virgin Islanders limited economic success have diminished their desire to fight, struggle, agitate ,protest, sacrifice, etc, as their forebears did for political and social change. This nonchalant, hands off, don’t care attitude, etc attitude and disposition have opened the flood gate for the Janus-faced, unctuous , etc colonialists to return/ move in cart blanche and lay siege to the BVI and its people without a fight. The colonialists bolted from the BVI in the 1800s when the VI was in a depressive economic state, casting it as a bird sanctuary. They came first in the 16th Century under the false premise of a ‘civilizing mission’. Now they are back in the 21st Century, after our forebears built it into an all roads lead to the BVI destination, under the false pretense again that they are protecting Virgin Islanders’ interests by controlling, restricting their freedoms, liberties, self-determination,etc . No, no, they are here for their self interest. Take note of the key Britons being put in key positions. They are like birds soiling the nest in which they want to rest so that they can wrest control. Virgin Islanders better awaken from their slumber before their homeland is taken while they are asleep. I mourn for my VI.

      PO, the hopeless, sambo/Uncle Tom bourgeoises want the UK to take over. It is sickening but period, period, fullstop, fullstop. No shame, no pride.

  There is no difference between UK Order of Council, the former slave master's whip, the former slave holder's mind set, thinking, manner of doing things, his perception of fairness and right and wrong.
  
  In essence, the order originated out of an antiquated mind and thinking, which belongs way bck in the pst, not in modern day society.
