      If the government didn't keep us safe there would be no re-opening. Take that to the bank!

      I hope that’s your views and not those of the management and staff.
      PS. Why would someone who take a vaccine be scared or scorn and unvaccinated person? I thought Fauci said the Jab was like a force field of some sort to shield you from all the germs. Please stop spewing your negativity

    When anything positive happens in the BVI, Andrew Fahie announces it and infers that he is behind it.

    It is indeed hilliarious when I read some comments from some people. There could only be one government at time and that is the Virgin Islands government. So which ever party wins the elections, it's the Virgin Islands government.
    Our enemy in this country is not Andrew Fahie., rather, it's the UK government. Now more than ever we need to unite despite our political differences.
    The first thing that the British will do is to establish a Naval Base in Anegada and control the shipping between South America and North America.
    It doesn't matter who does what. It is for all the people.
    Time will tell.

      Wow. What a great idea a naval base in Anegada. Think of the jobs and the opportunities. Would also bring fresh new blood to the community and create opportunites for new relationships. And all we need is for the UK Gov to take control for a while??!!?? We would also get roads fixed, internet, electricity, pretty much a new infrastructure paid for by the same money that comes in every year but is shared around people instead of on projects with results. Cross border smuggling and crimes would also be reduced with operation ships and not rusty barges that can't ever chase down a Sea Urchin.
      Thank you we will soon all be Dancing with the Stars. You are a genius.

      If the UK wanted a naval base in Anegada, they would have and could have established it years ago. They already own the BVI.

      He died earlier this year, I believe. It's for his family to carry on his legacy.

    My boat not stopping at Saba Rock until management discloses vaccination status of all employees. Oil Nut and Leverick Bay state all their employees are fully vaccinated

    Dancing with the Stars, If the UK wanted to put a Naval Base in Anegada and control the shipping between South America and North America they can do this without taking over the BVI stop talking CRAP. And for your information the UK is not the enemy it's our own people.
