If anything it reinforces the need for a curfew in these dark and troublesome times. If someone can do this at 8pm just think of the damage they can do after 1am if there was no curfew and more than half of the county is in darkness.
The Politicians are weak so they whittled under the pressure of a few constituents who selfishly want their night lives back so they could fool around with Tom Dick and Harriett.
I gone...
Our population is a changed demographic, and now a nation of economic migrants, a majority of whom are uneducated. Meanwhile, ninety percent of earnings exits the country. So the nipple sucking continues at the disadvantage to the country. It is a take, take ,take and send out never give back relationship. There should be a very steep fee imposed on all money transfers out of the country. (2) All should be required to maintain a significant portion of earnings within the territory's banks.
most of the people benefiting from aid in BVI are immigrants
Most of the people benefitting from scholarships in BVI are children of immigrants
Most of the people controlling the government are immigrants
Most of the people making the most money in the BVI are immigrants
Most of the people seeking to grab as much as the can sooner or later from the BVI under the guise of helping BVI are immigrants
Money is not circulating in the BVI mostly because of immigrants
So why the hell shouldn't most of the people rebuilding the BVI be immigrants
If money is not going to you, check what your policies have done for education and infrastructure in the past thirty years....
They promote illiteracy in this country and no one seems to figure it out look at the education system of lately , you have ministers coming out and saying in our house of assembly send the looters home send this set home ,we just had the speaker of the house said not in my house with regards to the swearing in of the governor who is the queens representative now they are broke because of whatever they did with tax payers money now they running to the same UK for help and want the same governor to help them after they turned down the help that was given they used the same bully pulpit to get rid of the state of emergency when the governor went to England for help but let me ask this question

Its their judicial rights to do so cause I have my hands out and their rights is to fulfil my needs and every person living in this territory needs. Belonged, born here or sponsored. We all have rights that was bestowed upon us that can be taken from us by will or by force. We need to live with it and give God thanks and stop our foolishness before he allow his wrath to pass before our face again. We are all God's children. Do what's expected of you, obey them that has the rule over you, live and let live, do unto others as YOU WOULD HAVE IT DONE UNTO YOU
