I know as you and others do that tough times and negative happening affect peoples lives worldwide, but does our Premier knows and does he really cares? I doubt that he does. If he really did care about patching the many potholes, water-holes and cracked public traffic roads that you have mentioned, he would have already considered of cost in US$ been and being wasted on unnecessary overseas travel, etc. Bear in mind that overseas travel is necessary only when its serve the fundamental needs of all the living people of the British Virgin Islands, including you, me and visitors, too.
