‘We can't allow politics to destroy us’- Premier warns HoA for 2024
“We have to be careful of politics or what politics has become because politics will make you minimise the good and maximise the bad, will make you minimise strengths and exacerbate what you see as deficiencies,” he said.
The Premier was at the time speaking during the December 19, 2023, Sixth Sitting of the First Session of the Fifth House of Assembly.
“Politics will allow people who are otherwise honest [to] sometimes be disingenuous. You know, politics will allow persons who are friends and family to otherwise be harmful to each other."
He said in this period in VI history legislators cannot allow politics to destroy us, "and we cannot allow politics to make us even more fragile and vulnerable than we already are, especially at a critical juncture in the history of our Virgin Islands.”
VI has 'huge battle' on hands- Premier
“At this present time we have a huge battle on our hands and to be successful in this battle, we need unity and it doesn't mean that we will not have disagreements among ourselves,” he further added.
The Premier called on legislators to be constructive in how they deal with those disagreements and to have principles in handling the affairs of the House. “We must join hands and hearts and efforts and we must fight to preserve these Virgin Islands,” he said.
Throughout 2023, both government and opposition legislators, including the Deputy Speaker of the House, Hon Stacy. A. Mather (AL), have called for more unity in the House of Assembly and for legislators to not allow politics to derail the House.
The Premier’s warning came as he reminded that an Order in Council for the UK to suspend the VI’s constitution was still "hanging over" the territory.

Yawn, You said it right,. Lawlessness is, in fact, another word that apply to disloyalty against God and humanity, especially the deliberate practice of willful misdeeds, political and otherwise.
Our Premier is only playing mind games, as if he doesn't fully knows that wrong practices of political misrepresentation of his office duties are distructive setbacks against the majority of the people of the BVI, including he and his family's ultimate best interest.
This I do know as many people worldwide also know for sure, that in a competitive race against time, time ultimately wins, but to the contrary, greed and likewise straits may or may not experience sorrowful regret prior to destructive consequences, if honest soul-searching is ignored.

Don’t worry you politicians are doing a great job already.
Until then your blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. Don't make any sense, dollars yes, but sense, none.
