‘The march is about country; We will deal with NDP later’- Julian Willock
Mr Willock was at the time, Tuesday May 22, 2018, speaking on the online radio show Fresh Radio Vybz with Paul A. Peart aka ‘Gadiethz.’
Mr Willock, a former Permanent Secretary with the Government of the Virgin Islands, called on all residents to make a special effort to march, as he told the host “this march is about country, our economic rights, our human rights and our ability to live in dignity…”
March for our economic rights- Willock
The amendment on public registry that will come into force in 2020 has the ability to destroy the Territory’s main revenue earner, causing the economy to collapse, massive public and private sector layoffs, foreclosures and residents living in poverty.
In the interview, Mr Willock told the host that he had to debate with many of his friends about other vexing issues and had to answer many questions about “why we are not marching on the current government for the mismanagement of funds.”
However, the political candidate for an At-Large seat in the next general elections said, “one has to know when to put aside politics and deal with country, as the march is about country and we must stay focused.”
He added, “what our ‘mother country’ did to us after two hurricanes is sad, questionable and it will affect every man, woman, boy and girl in the Territory.”
We will address other NDP political issues after march- Willock
Mr Willock urged the critics of the march to stay focused, and not play politics, “trust me when I tell you we will get time to deal with the NDP and their dismal record on the management of the country…another election is around the corner, but now is not the time,” he insisted.
In an invited comment to our newsroom about the march, Mr Willock said “I know it will be successful and I am expecting to see over 10,000 people out on Thursday to send a powerful message, that we will not eat rocks."
The Decision to March will start at 2:30 PM on Thursday May 24, 2018 from the Sunday Morning Well where residents can also sign the petition and move to the Governor’s residence on lower main street, Road Town
International and regional media houses are expected to cover the march.

You are talking PURE hog filth.
Remember that our successive Governments have chased away more business by making everything so difficult to do business here than this sanction will chase away. People waiting months for permits, no decent education to tool up the local population, crumbled infrastructure.... a bit less Mugabe and more Lee Kwan Yiew required in future.
No to the ndp
