‘National Pride & VI Strong’ a tale of 2 cities if people suffering- Julian Willock
As a masterpiece of critical realism, A Tale of Two Cities, by famous English author Charles J. H. Dickens, reveals the actual situation (inequality) of different classes in Paris and London around the Great French Revolution.
The young businessman, Willock, has stated in the past that the National Democratic Party (NDP) has managed to wipe out the middle class in the Territory, leaving just the rich and poor, hence the analogy.
But Mr Willock’s message was one of hope and upliftment, reminding that the people of the Virgin Islands are a hopeful and practical people, and that the New Year 2018 will be a year of renewal, a year to rebuild together, and a year to chart a new course for the Virgin Islands.
“My mission is to be a part of the rebuilding efforts, to bring solutions to the table to make our lives better, to truly create one Virgin Islands, where National Pride is linked to economic pride,” Mr Willock said in his holiday message sent out to local media houses today, December 13, 2017.
‘I will be at the forefront bring people together’
Mr Willock, is no stranger to public service, having worked with the Government of the Virgin Islands as a former Assistant Secretary in the Ministry of Natural Resources and Labour, the Director of the Water and Sewerage Department and a Permanent Secretary in the Ministry of Communications and Works, has still not announced whether he will be throwing his hat in the ring at the next General Elections but his public positions on various issues affecting the territory and his offering of solutions have been making him a popular potential candidate.
One of his main messages has been about unifying the people of the Territory and, according to Mr Willock, he will not relent in 2018.
“In 2018, I will continue to be at the forefront bringing people together, helping us to respect each other, listening to each other’s views, helping residents to find jobs, fighting for my country against those who wish to undermine our economic pillar and bringing light to the many issues this Government continues to ignore, take for granted or simply lack the wisdom, talent, courage, love for people and leadership to address.”
Mr Willock added that his mission is to be a part of the rebuilding efforts, to bring solutions to the table to make lives better, to truly create one Virgin Islands, where National Pride is linked to economic pride.
“I am Julian Willock, on behalf of my family and I, please remember this holiday season, that Jesus is alive. He is alive to conquer despair, to impart hope, to forgive sins and to take away our loneliness. God Bless These Virgin Islands.”
