BAUGHERS BAY, Tortola, VI– Talk show host Mr Claude O. Skelton-Cline has said the Virgin Islands is desperately in need of a "mother".

“The country just needs a mother, it needs a touch, a mother’s voice, a mother’s spirit, a mother’s wisdom and inclination and discernment,” he said during the June 21, 2022, edition of his radio show, Honestly Speaking.

“I believe for such a time this woman is going to come forth…  What I am asking you to pray for is that I want you to pray that she would have her own burning bush experience on the other side of the desert, because that’s what we need right through here,” he added, regarding his conviction that the VI will have a female premier at the next general elections.

He said the time has come for the VI to do its own genre pivot, towards this strong fortified, well-abled judicious, and integrous woman to come forward to lead the country.

Courageous leader needed in  VI- Skelton-Cline 

Meanwhile, the clergyman added that the wilderness is crying out for the voice in reference to VI needing a leader with courage.

Quoting Henry Ward Beecher in the mid-1800s, he spoke of the need for courageous persons in the VI to step forward, rather than be cowards. 

“We must be women and men who are going to meet this moment, not cave, not just comply and become complicit… but for country for generations yet unborn,” he said.

He called on Virgin Islanders to step up collectively rather than wait for someone else to step up.

“We as a people, we have to come together, and coming together is not uniformity but the strength of the unity in the diversity,” he added.

      The BVI has a Mother. It is her badass children that are throwing dirt in her face and disrespecting her beauty. All of them riding on her apron strings instead of living a good clean life honestly. You all are the greedy ones dragging her down instead of carrying her.

    Hey Vino, stop giving this dimwit a platform. Polluting Virgin Islanders thoughts and minds with this drivel day in day out. We know you’re just filling space but give over already - less is more! Give us a report on price rises in the last month, or how many days school children missed on the island this year due to covid/inadequate facilities/pay disputes - OH F that would require some real reporting and time investigating and not just printing some jackass’ thoughts … lazy wha?

    Fake pastor Claude Skeleton Cline, you said that we need a mother right now. According to the Bible human first mother committed the first sin. In the BVI are many mother's. Many including me know that your are trying to influence us, by deception to accept your prophecy.

    Question to you, sir; Isn't time for you to stop trying to murder us politically with you lies, and deceptic tactics?
    is the mother you spoke of your wife? Is the person The lawyer from East End district that lost in her last two attempts to regained political power?
    If you are not prepared to give us insight of who you have in mind, don't you think it is time to shot your mouth, from exposing your arrogance, and ignorance to us, and others if how crooked you really are?
    With that written, God loves you, and so do I.
