But you have somewhat of a point from talking talking talking about the UK neocolonial policies the current premier has gone into total submission.
Don’t forget while your in there we need you to represent US, negotiate but don’t take threats or bullying.
Plus continue fighting for the peoples not for yourself. One thing about the bvi’s disappointment (the former premier) is he never stopped fighting when the UK held up bills to improve our standards of living.
Very confused & confusing individual but he never let up on hounding the UK when they try to stifle our natural progression.
