Bar owners & men complaining of dead nightlife - Skelton-Cline
Nightlife killed
“I talked about the sting the other day with the ladies, you emptied the bars, you killed the nightlife… and the bar owners are still complaining and the men, hopefully not the married ones, are still complaining,” he said on the Tuesday, January 21, 2020 edition of the radio show.
On a previous January 14, 2020, episode of the show he said, rather than targeting women, the focus should be on the street, as targeting bars do not get to the “culprits in this matter.
“It’s not sufficient for you to pick on the most vulnerable and go into the bars, which by the way I’ve got friends who tell me you have completely killed the nightlife and the money is down, that part of the economy is down,” Pastor Skelton-Cline alleged.
Minister for Natural Resources, Labour and Immigration, Hon Vincent O. Wheatley (R9); however, had said the crack-down was widespread and non-discriminatory, “There was no target, just illegal workers in general, all illegals.”
Deport unemployed immigrants – Skelton-Cline
Turning attention back to immigrants on last Tuesday’s show, he said, “But clearly we still have too many persons on the street and you can’t tell me that these people have good working permits, if you have a working permit and you still legally in the country within your timeline but you don’t have a job… then we need to get you back to your place of origin,” he urged.
The man of the cloth had previously charged that the social culture of the Territory is now changing as a result of immigrants loitering on the streets in the capital city and in other areas.
Over the past months, Mr Skelton-Cline has been using his platform to push for local authorities to crack down on immigrants on work permit without jobs.
“We can ill afford to have so many people walking around unemployed, this is a pending, a potential social evil with all of the negative impacts around … and so I’m looking for Immigration or Customs or whoever is it responsible for this stuff, to clean up the place!”

Who cares about the bar life even if the men are single....you need a reality check.
Just like anyone could get a degree and don’t know squat, anyone could tack on Pastor, Bishop, Apostle, Prophet, to their name (wolves in sheep clothing some are).
Don't insult our intelligence by calling going bar hopping and seeing female skin while you have on your long sleeve shirt and long pants night life!
Ask some older folks in some communities you may get the truth if you are searching for it. An elderly said "what they still here" "all of a sudden some disappeared them all of a sudden they reappeared after things cool down. Another said "they are here as young as 17,18, 19 and are involved in selling their bodies". lord have mercy on the BVI. The thing is they are not here behaving them selves but many families are being affected in so many negative ways. People open your eyes all that glitters is not GOLD.
