    So you go clubbing with a machete on your person?
    Well,maybe he had plans to go directly from Club to his cane field and do some cutting . Or maybe he keeps his machete in his car for easy access for his work.

    Another Vincie cutting human cane. When will immigration and government put restrictions to the BVI on those people. As, it is clear that theybringthat that cutlass culture with themwhen the are enteredinto the society.

    Hence, a complete ban from the citizens of that country must be instituted before they chop up one of our ow.

    The chop up and subsequent suicide of the perpertrator of the teacher lady from East End, (the Premier’s back yard,) (i can’t remember her name, she survived the attachon her life, but came out of it with a missing hand, some time back

    She is my colleague and friend. And, the immigration policy makers since the attack on her life, right next to the Premier’s family property, has done nothing to reform the intake of certain peoples from cetain known countries, for excessive violence tendencies, ie. Jamaice and St. Vincent, from being processed into this our country.
