‘We cannot afford to have our constitution suspended’- Julio S. Henry
Henry made the call during a public meeting last evening, May 1, 2022, at Althea Scatliffe Primary School, on the topic of no suspension of the VI Constitution and the way forward.
According to Mr Henry, “We [VI] at this point in our development, we cannot afford to have our constitution to be suspended and put us in a situation where our hands will be tied for the next two years, if not more.”
The topic of the suspension of the Constitution comes following the arrest of Premier Andrew A. Fahie (R1) over drug conspiracy charges and the release of the CoI report by Governor John J. Rankin CMG, where the commissioner recommended, amongst other measures, Direct Rule by the UK.
Virgin Islanders march against direct rule
Today, May 2, 2022, scores of Virgin islanders (VI) gathered in front of Government House to demonstrate against UK direct rule and the suspension of the VI constitution.
Henry, in his appeal to the people, also warned them about information sources. “I would encourage each and every one of us to pay attention to the information that’s coming out,” he said regarding to the people of the VI.
The social commentator warned against information that goes against VI holding on to its constitution and evolving and developing. “We must be concerned when information is coming especially at the rate that it is coming,” he added.

UK help us from these people
The UK has no ill intentions to abolish and deprived the people of the British Virgin Islands of their just contitusion rights. The UK's intentions is to help us to practice good government for the betterment of all the citizens of this country, and stamp out corruption, that is commonly being practice, especially by corrupt politicians.
You Sam, and others of the same mindset would have many to believe that the UK is the enemy of the leader of the British Virgin Islands. The facts are the corrupt politicians, and many that profit fr their unjust behavior are the main enemy that hinder good governance.
Contrition don't need to be abolished, but it surly needs reformation. Unfortunately, greedy people like you and many others don't care, because corrupted politicians are serving your selfish purpose, by mismanaging our finances unjustly on a dairy basis.
People everywhere differ on various opinion. It is a personal right, but many to the people of the British Virgin Islands suit the following quote:
"Empty buckets make great noise."
To the contrary, buckets of fresh water save many from dying from thirst.
Many, if not most of the noise keeping people of the British Virgin Islands, in regards to our failed issues that have caused the UK to recommended good governance by our political leaders are justified.
If the UK
were to allowed you, and other bigmouth like you, Sam, things would go from bad to worst.
Please bear with me a little longer:
History shows the a number of European countries have fought war over these countries, namely: England, Denmark, and others. Evidence shows the many of the Forts, tools of those conflicts are presently here.
England and Denmark claimed the virgin Islands, what was called the Danish virgin Islands was sold to America, now called usvi. The British Virgin Islands is owned, politically, and military speaking by the UK, though they gave special rights under their rule
Question:
What make some of us even think that we have equal
rights as they do have to this country to demand of them to bow to our demands? In addition to this, are we willing to fight militarily to take it from them?
Wisdom is far more precious than silver and gold.
If you don't believe me, ask Hon. Premier Andrew A Fahie.
