Head Coach Still Running The Country-Mitch Says Vote VIP Out
-
by pltm
(PLTM) - Embattled former Premier Andrew Fahie is still running the country and the people of the BVI are being pleaded with to vote the Virgin Islands Party (VIP) out. This claim came from Second District Representative Hon. Melvin 'Mitch' Turnbull.
"While they [VIP] are there listening and entertaining head coach our country is in shambles. You let a man who fighting for his life still lead you and you telling me you are a leader. Man go sit down and shut up your mouth because now if he could have call in the Congress that mean he was calling in all the time," Turnbull said last evening, March 19.
He was speaking during the launch of the Progressives Virgin Islands Movement (PVIM) campaign at the Noel Lloyd Positive Action Movement Park.
Fahie was identified as 'head coach' in the allegations laid out against him by the United States following his arrest in Miami in April 2022 on drug trafficking and money laundering charges in connection with a sting operation in the BVI.
Hon. Turnbull alleged that the VIP's second district candidate who is like 'a mother' to him received a call during the party's Congress from 'head coach'.
He did not name the candidate.
"Because they say strong rumours, people talking, that head coach make call in the Congress and tell them they must run. So lawd mother you listening to the head coach too even from where he is, he still running our country, he still interfering in our affairs," Hon. Turnbull said.
Hon. Turnbull added, "Ladies and gentlemen we must, we have to, we got to put them out. It is no way you are talking about this country that has been embarrassed on the world stage, that has been led to a CoI, that had to deal with our Premier who went away on a government business, instead of government business he moved on to other business without a second and now still cannot come back from the trip."
According to Hon. Turnbull, during Fahie's time as Premier, VIP government members all sat and said 'I, I' in the House of Assembly and did not use their voices against what was happening.
"And these are the type of people, that you want to tell me that you weren’t there; that you didn’t know; that you didn’t hear; that you didn’t smell. You didn’t see; you couldn’t use your voice, and now you want to come back and tell the people it was a mistake."
He added, "One time is a mistake, two time you willful, and three time, you wotless and for your wotless and willful behavior what we are going to do? Put them out."
The Second District Representative vowed "nothing green in 2023".
"Vote out the Virgin Islands Party and restore it with this blue team under the leadership of Ronnie W. Skelton who has proven leadership," Hon. Turnbull stated.

WOW
Mitch not truthful AGAIN!!! voted on the Retirement Act but saying otherwise now on the podium. The minutes of the meeting is online on HOA site. Clearly he is lying about VIP & Fahie. He is a master at not telling the truth. He has been caught in black & white.
Why?
Why is the Governor being given a free pass in all of this when it is he and not the politician in charge of the public service and all the policies that govern them. Elected officials are being held accountable for his failures and this is blatantly wrong. We are really sleeping.
My focus
All aim is at VIP but by who? A few status quo working together with the colonial powers hoping to take VIP out and they go in so the common man can never get any help and suffer forever as the rich then alone get richer.
Still Calling Plays
HC still calling plays for Team VIP. But can apologize to the people of the BVI
@VIP Bloggers
In my deepest voice. "Why ah yo want Mitch out so bad, buddy?" He got to be doing something right. I sticking with Mitch. Can't take the chance that Troy will go and form a Government with VIP. PVIM all the way.
History
Remember Mitch and his …. did not take Covid seriously at first. If he was in power we all would have been dead now.

Like it or not
Like it or not VIP did help thousands of persons during the pandemic through grants and many other means and rescued the economy from tanking out. Mitch & others who want power knows this and will through all kinds of mud to try to make people forget this and make the help VIP gave look like something went wrong. Note his NDP at the time did not help many after Irma & Maria. He also thanked the same Fahie for helping his district and fahie was in the opposition while mitch was in the government.
Here we go again
Another brother falling prey to the colonial masters plot of helping them to destroy us all by making them think their actions are good and for a worthy cause. 400 years all over again. #D2getnew
Foolishness
Anyone with sense can see Mitch is chatting foolishness but he knows it has a chance to help him win so he said it and will do anything for power.

Disappointed in you. You need to publicly apologise to Marrietta. If not don't bother look no vote from those who thought better of you. This is not behavior of a man of God. You behaving just like your cousin ****. Disappointed.

Do Eastern Caribbean countries use US$ our EC$? If EC$, would you come across a US$100 bill? I live in a country that uses US$ and to tell you the truth, I don't see them often! I want to think the same would be true for anyone coming from a country that uses EC$. Please correct me if I'm wrong.
Sorry that you feel hurt by what Ms. P said, but she is correct! Don't take it personal, because I too was very excited when I received my first hard $100 bill!

A word to the wise
Wise leaders unite people not divide as no man in God's sight is free of sin nor judgment.
@A word to the wise.
Yes, no man is free from sin or judgment. Isn't that what you're doing now? However, wise leaders work for the best interest of the people and not themselves. They STAND UP when it's wrong, not go along with it because they're afraid to say NO, that is not right. Afraid to come out from among them and be separate on issues that are wrong. It does more hurt to the people and country. The reason the COI and threat to suspend the constitution over our heads. We must do better! Vote for Integrity. PVIM and the blue team and individuals like minded.

From the time I heard Mitch attack Fahie on the podium last night I did not like what he said. It was not necessary, but it is clear today that it is another well-organized attack against Fahie. Mitch seems to have a beef with this man for many years and he seems like he will not stop until he sees the full demise of the man and yet he calls himself a Christian. I am glad NDP did not pick this guy up because he is also attacking Myron the same way behind the scenes and seems to vow to see his demise also.

I realize Mitch believes his family and friends circle is so huge in the second district that he can never lose but he may be surprised. Troy nor Marietta who are his opponents have not attacked him in any shape or form, but he is bashing them every chance he gets and calling them down and now bringing in a man who is not running. One thing I know about both his opponents is that no one can make neither of them do anything they do not want to do. It is this childish attitude of Mitch why I will NEVER VOTE for him again. I will be voting for one of the other two candidates when I hear their presentation and what they are bringing to the table which will be better than this guy mitch.

turnbull forgets very quickly because mitch sat among those who took the 8 million dollar which was lawfully approved by the house of assembly to fix east end sewage and spent those funds on the pier park without the proper authorization from house of assembly and all now the residents of the east have sewage issues play the tape mitch
mitch also forgot your tax money was assigned to purchase an aircraft so the people of this territory can move freer from BVI to Miami.:::yes, the 7.2 million tax payers money and to this very day no plane for the people, wake up mitch

My advice to Mitch
Be careful wishing for anyone's downfall and also be careful helping to try to organize it behind the scenes as when you are digging a ditch for others make sure you dig two.

Hold on
Mitch is a Minister in Government and therefore goes to Cabinet every week where all the decisions that run the country are being made. If Fahie is still running the country like he is saying then he is saying that Fahie is running him, and his decisions and Marlon own also. Mitch, you need to go. You will do and say anything for power. You are just a confusion maker and one who is challenged with the truth.
Truth
I’ve been following the past four - eight years and I don’t think Mitch is the one who is challenged with the truth. It appears at this time that the VIP, you and all negative bloggers don’t seem to know the truth even if it’s right in-front of you. Once it’s someone you like, once you stand to benefit from this person, even if they’re doing wrong. Once you feel it’s someone you can push over to get what you want. Mitch has proven he is not a yes sir or push over. For this, look at the venom and lies you are spewing. Also Reminder: things aren’t the way they were after the COI, so things would have to be done differently, so much for your motives. Further, if questioning wrong makes a person a confusion maker, it speaks volumes to your reasoning and ignorance. We’re in a lot of trouble. Choose Integrity people! Choose BVI over self. Focus more on positives than negatives.

SMH at the hate and bashing over one person who has been there, one of many who was instrumental in fighting against the suspension of our constitution along with others. One, who called out wrong many times, even if he stood alone. In fact, was proven right in instances. End of the day, the People get the government they deserve. God will allow whom he wills to win. Vote for individuals who have the country's best interest at heart and will be your voice even when tough decisions need to be made. Integrity Matters!
