‘Too much talk no action from this government’- JvD resident Gregory A. Callwood
The show which is aired live for an hour every Tuesday is one of the most anticipated shows since the advent of talk radio in the Territory mostly because of Mr. Cline’s ability to attract high profile guest and his thought provoking questions.
However, the upcoming Tuesday show was already prerecorded on Friday, February 2, 2018 that included a panel of three residents from the sister islands of Anegada, Jost van Dyke and Virgin Gorda.
In a small clip from the upcoming show released by Marketing guru, Kareem Nelson-Hull, it shows the son of the famous Jost van Dyke (JvD) icon and resident, Philliciano Callwood MBE aka ‘Foxy’ representing JvD on the three member panel.
The topic mainly focused on the post Hurricane issues and how the sister islands are treated by the National Democratic Party Government (NDP).
Gregory A. Callwood speaks for JvD we want ‘action’
Gregory A. Callwood, a long time resident of JvD and a businessman told the host Mr. Skelton-Cline that he wants to see “action,” as all he hears from them is talk, but they not doing anything.
Mr. Callwood said you hear them [NDP government] talking all time “I want to see ground breaking, and building an emergency concrete 100 x 70 feet for hurricane shelter in Jost van Dyke.”
The businessman also added, “There is a water tank 750 thousand gallons…that been crushed like paper in Jvd, we want to see a new water tank come to Jost van Dyke…. so we could have our water back up and going, we don’t want to talk about it, we want to see it..”
Additionally, Mr. Callwood said the Commissioner of Police (CoP) Michael B. Mathews was on JvD for the first after the Hurricanes on Thursday, February 1, 2018 and he told him “the police don’t have no place to live, no cars to drive, what are you doing about it?”
He told the host of the show that the CoP assured him that “I will get them brand-new cars to drive and a new truck..”
Mr. Callwood stated on the show that the only time he hears about Jost van Dyke is when the politicians talk about ‘from Anegada down to Jost van Dyke.”
Mr. Callwood said, “I hate that slang because when I heard about Jost van Dyke, I want to hear something special, not from Anegada to Jost van Dyke…” Mr. Callwood passionately stated.
Sister islands in focus
The other two members on the panel were Jerry D. Vanterpool, a businessman, political activist and water plant operator from Anegada, along with Albert L. Stevens aka ‘Pop’ another businessman, political activist and social network commutator.
The show will be aired in its entirety on Tuesday, February 6, 2018 at 5:00 PM to 6:00 PM on radio station ZBVI 780 AM.

Then we had a pass Governor who wrote to the premier about his mishandling of the BVI funds but refused to investigate and make his findings public or give the people an explanation of why he is not investigating.
Tolians are ready for power look around at this country and see what was done after the hurricane mainly by tolians who had to give now and worry about been paid later if they will be paid. Right now we are been squeezed by the Insurance companies and the harsh unfair policies of the Banks.
But if you look at the history of our people we take alot but for a time. If you look around at other countries especially in our region that is averaging over a thousand murders a year you will see a people thats not ready for power or to embrace self respect and a culture thats not lewd. We dont want violence we want the system to work as it should.
