Who is wrecking our country? Governments or Governors?
Still Delivering the Message to the Victims:
Persons never seem to tire of asking me why bother to bring Truth for the Youth when they have their own interests which do not include taking advice from anyone... We may not agree on everything, and it is their lives to live, so I have zero intent to give them advice... I simply provide them with my experience and useful information, with the condition that they always double-check my Words for themselves.
None of us are here forever, and circumstances alter cases... Persons will see things differently, as each Generation express their own views of what should be done or not done... However, they too are blessed with the opportunity to make the best use of their human interactions, during their limited days of life... To believe that the Messages delivered will have no impact on others will be a huge mistake.
We learn from each other, and Words are our primary means of communication… These have a lasting effect that survives the grave, and good Leaders realise that the Voices of the People contain the magic that changes things for the better… It’s left to us to accept or reject, and as a measure of our usefulness or uselessness, we can choose to create roads of progress or make our bed in the middle of highways.
Is this Life in Paradise or the prolongation of Colonialism?
We say it is their life and their choice, but we fail to mean it, so Leaders ask, why are they complaining if we decide to spend a little pocket change on a Free Celebration Party… They know that is our way of spending, and they shouldn’t be calling us idiots when they were the ones who gave us the power in the Fake Elections… They have no excuse because CoI warned them of our active fiscal irresponsibility.
Furthermore, they should be grateful that sometimes we use their Money to give them stuff that they don’t want or need... Such a wonderful Social Security Housing Project on the Hill, and yet the Poor refuses to beg or thief, so they can get one of these... Look at the Brand-new High School that we built in record time... Forget about any related problems; they will sort out themselves or we’ll learn to cope.
We give you a long-promised Market Place with pretty-pretty compartments, yet all you do is complain about how ‘the Sun hot and you can get wet inside’... Guess what, the Sun can go behind a Cloud and it doesn’t rain everyday... Maybe, you People should understand that we like to change things, and if we can’t fix the Roads, at least we can rearrange Traffic, to produce more roadblocks and accidents.
You should stop saying that we don’t listen because when you complained that Brandy Wine Bay was too far and sounded too alcoholic, we moved the Party back to Road Town… What else do you People want? Do you want us to pay Local Bands like Foreign Bands? Naw, we can’t do that, because we won’t want People to start thinking that we are beginning to believe in the value of our own homegrown.
Next thing, you will start listening to AC Frett, and demanding your own ‘Local Heroes and Labour Day’, when we prefer the old fashion Holidays for Royals and Religion, even if this means speeding up our rush to the Poor House... Meanwhile, our People will endure these Holidays, and even Politicians can’t explain whether they benefit the People or Country, or are just reminders of our own Colonialism.
Let’s Destroy the Messenger so the People can Suffer in Ignorance:
Once upon a time, we were proud to live in the [B]VI… Today, we still occupy the VI, but we live in Denial… We count on the Miracles of Prayer, so we would never admit that we are in a downward spiral – A race to the bottom… From Brexit to Inflation, and Home Conflicts, we wonder, which Tail is wagging what Dog, and who is responsible for our predicament? - Is it the Government, Governor, or Ourselves?
This is the end of June 2023, and months ago I told you that the New B&F Medical Complex was well on its way to completion... Thanks to your encouragement, this was a major accomplishment, because most of you know that, without fair cause or reason, we had been blocked for years, by both Private and Governmental Forces... Nonetheless, after beating Covid-19, we were on track to be up and ready by July.
Please note, that as a Health Care Provider, we depend on both Administrative and Technical Workers, and many of these are recruited, so, it is with much regret that I report that the Demonic Obstacles are still present… While we have received assistance from the likes of the Sewerage Department, other Agencies like Immigration and Labour, use whatever impediments they can, to frustrate our progress.
Governments claimed to be fully aware of these Problems, and that they can and will solve them... However, they do nothing, which suggests that they either encourage or condone the practice... I have been told, that my victimisation is not accidental, but because of my speaking out, and, if I would just stop talking, and learn how to bend and beg, then I could get whatever I want, and even more.
In other words, they need me to become another for-sale Puppet… In the meanwhile, although they can find nothing wrong, the Heads of Labour, Immigration, and other Government Agency will abuse their power and positions to keep my Applications on their desks for months or years, until time and opportunity are lost, and the Applicants are no longer available… This usually means starting all over.
When Civil Servants no longer Serve the People or Civilisation:
It is no secret that this Project could and would benefit the VI, and I would like to see it completed... However, Civil Servants are in a unique position to help or hinder, and I’m not good at begging folks to do what they are being paid for and mandated to do… Ironically, while we are the ones paying the Civil Servants, the Governor is recognised as the one in charge, which means, that their failure is his failure.
At the same time, each Department has Political Ministers, and if he, she, or they, are unable to perform their Duties, then they too can be considered as useless... As mentioned, while the Private Sector has always paid the Public Sector and Civil Servants, Governments remain infamous for their lack of Work Ethics and Productivity… This was highlighted by the CoI, with a resounding result of ‘nothing done’.
No one seems to care if their inefficiency hinders the Private Sector, cripples our Nation’s Economy, or damages their own earning power… They exude a stench of invincibility because Governments will destroy your Good Workers but seem unable to fire their bad workers… Instead, they offer them bribes of promotions, power and increments with Monies they do not have... Still, the damage continues.
I am just an ordinary man; never been good at playing blind, deaf or dumb, but, there’s no doubt that what happens to me can also happen to you and others… This is a changing World, and just like a Marriage, we are in it for better or worse; Till death do us part… No one may know the hour so it’s best to do all that we can while we can, because we are the examples that generations to come will follow.
They may hurt, harm, or hinder us, but their innate corruption will make them unable to function in the real World… Meanwhile, if we do our best and things still go wrong, the faults and blame lie squarely on the Government and Governor... Still, worry not, for even in our darkest days the ‘God of Nature and Laws of Balance’ is great at removing bad players from the Field… If in doubt, ask Trump, Boris and Andrew.

"It is centuries old but the [old colonial, racist etc.] behavioral, attitudinal, system still persists." Hold on. Isn't every elected member of the local government of mostly African descent? And weren't the parents of the non-white Prime Minister of the colonial power born in Africa? Can we drop the lazy rhetoric and move on?
