    "My people perish for the lack of wisdom.". Look what we have come to. Bribing people with a dish of food, and a few drinks one day out of 365 with our own finance. Tied by the belly. You may think or may not think that I hate you, but I don't. What I really hate is sly tactics being played on the blind, and the weak.

    I have a much better suggestion, give everyone of us $100.00 of our own money. We can provide music for ourselves of our choice. Last year Hon. Malon Penn was criticized for food handouts. Is not the the the same Old, same Old game? Yes, it is.

      The premier has dressed as Santa and gave gifts to children for many years. He has always celebrated Christmas.

      The only sly tactic is what your trying to pull. You complain about food as bribery then turn around and say you want them to give 100 dollars. Then what will you say.

      Merry Christmas.

    This is all about getting everyone to bow down and worship the image of the beast. The Christmas narrative was created by those who have stolen our spiritual powers and are keeping us captive by their false narrative. "While shepherds watch their sheep by night all seated on the ground on a cold winter night that was so deep". Picture that. We have been conditioned to accept the foolishness without even thinking. So hurry hurry come for curry so that the big man can score some brownie points with our masters. This is all about having us to contribute our spiritual energy to the false Christmas narrative to empower our oppressors. Sorry but some of us are awake watching every move you make every step you take.

    Thank you, but no thanks. Just my opinion, would it not have been better to issue food vouchers or a gift card to purchase food? Most of the people that is going to turn up for a free plate of food and a drink is not in need. AND WHO, have a MERRY CHRISTMAS.

    Hope that everyone who turn up is fully masked. It was reported on another site, the Premier and his Deputy tested positive.

    The BVI is a good place to invest in business. Why? Because most of its citizens are cheap-minded. They can easily be bought for a plate of food and a few drinks handout in exchange for the precious vote. It is called the art of political science., a political mindgame tactics.being used wherever democracy is said to be practicing. Very sad, though. We surely do need the CoI help.in the BVI.

    Thank you VINO for showing this comment.
    Happy holidays, and a bright future to your organisation.
