Skelton-Cline advocates collective stand against UK overreach
Speaking during his Honestly Speaking radio programme aired on ZBVI 780 AM on April 15, 2025, Pastor Skelton-Cline expressed optimism in wake of what he described as an unprecedented show of unanimity in the House of Assembly (HoA).
Everybody has a Role
"For the first time in a long time, I saw where all 13 members of the House of Assembly was basically, fundamentally, at least in principle, was in agreement, and on one page, in regards to this report."
Recalling the Leader of the Opposition—Honourable Myron V. Walwyn (R6)—had aptly described the roadmap document as “an Order in Council through the back door,” Skelton-Cline agreed, calling it “...an accurate descriptive and description of what this is.”
Reaffirming that all elected representatives have a crucial role in shaping the Territory’s destiny, Skelton-Cline advocated further, the response also encompasses the broader citizenry.
"Everybody has a role to play; What you cannot afford is not to play your role.”
Repeat of 1949
Lambasting the substantive contents of the ‘roadmap report’ as a disrespect to the historic struggles and achievements of the Virgin Islands’ forebearers, he told the listening audience, "...this report is really a blatant disregard for the sweat, the toil, the labour, the sacrifice, the bloodshed of our ancestors.”
As such, he cautioned that the current trajectory of the United Kingdom's governance in the Territory mirrors the conditions that sparked the famed 1949 protest march.
“My prophetic friend told me… Cline, if we’re not careful, you’re about to see a repeat of 1949 in your country,’ and it’s going to be by and large because of the overreach of the United Kingdom and abuse of their power,” he recounted.
Retrograde & Retarded
Additionally, Skelton-Cline in his advocacy for an official and unified statement of national position, said “You all need—and I want to encourage—to draft and sign on to a singular piece of correspondence that should be delivered to the Governor, to the Secretary of State, and to whomever else that’s a part of the protocol, stating the position of this country.”
He insisted however, that this effort should not end with political leaders, urging instead, "...we must go a step further as other citizens have suggested, we as citizens, you as politicians in your own districts and at large, need to be a part of mobilising the country through hard copy and electronic signatures… about this country’s position on the retrograde and the retarded modes of operation that is resulting from the CoI [Commission of Inquiry] and other incidents.”
According to the man of the cloth, “...there’s no one riding in on a white horse; You and I must carry and run our leg of the journey.”

One last note about that Anegada Solar Farm, since the principal of Power52 (Rob Wallace, Jr.) filed for personal bankruptcy (yet again) in July of 2023, the government as been mum on the current completion date, which was supposed to have been in December of 2023, then got moved back to December of 2024:
https://www.virginislandsnewsonline.com/en/news/premier-hopeful-solar-project-on-anegada-will-be-completed-early-2025. Here's the telling excerpt: "The Government of the Virgin Islands has yet to give a detailed update on why the project has not yet been completed." This is yet another of the "vanity projects" such as BVI Airways that provide a photo op for the solons, but deliver nothing - and there is zero accountability. Next up is the continued push to expand the Beef Island airport, even though the "Business Case" has never been reduced to writing or even seriously evaluated (and it cannot be, because anyone with a moderately functioning brain knows that there IS NO VALID BUSINESS CASE for it).
