this man curse things he involved in ifails he is a waste how he is premier I don't no
justify however suits you but this shit done
you only seeking your own interests while people suffer
foolishness absolute foolishness
Always someone going somewhere if it was their own money would not be happening for sure.
So thats alright.
The owners or the guests that board those vessels don't provision here, they don't buy fuel here, they don't shop here... but they do come to look. This is a beautiful destination, unlike no other. But we can't charge them for watching.
Lorna would have been better suited for the Monaco trip ( if anyone had to go) because of her FSC background and the very nature of Monaco and its show.
this is just rediculous and shows how little he cares about the BVI purse. more airmiles for him, more luxury living at our expense...maybe he sees that this is his one and only term as our leader and wants to maximise his own experience.
absolute BS
Then again; they take us all for fools so why not go Monaco on 1st class/business class and stay in an opulent hotel eating at Michelin starts restaurants on the BVI purse!!! Another example of waste and blatant disregard of prudent and fiscal responsibility by this dude….pathetic!
Nobody in Monaco is interested in the BVI, with all its restrictions to keep their yachts out. Nobody in Monaco cares about who our Premier is or what he says.
This was a waste of money until we could show them what we have DONE. Nobody cares about our empty promises about what we gonna do.
they add raping to the the list of crimes
the teachers striking and all he doing is f****king lying travelling and partying
Kendrick Malone holds the record for having been the first trip toona
