Bad mindedness! Fraser scolds selfish scholarship recipients
Opposition Leader Julian Fraser has chided persons who received scholarships through district representatives but are now suggesting that the process should face closer scrutiny.
According to Fraser, some persons have been saying that legislators have been wasting the taxpayers’ money, but the Third District Representative pushed back on this.
“You didn’t know we were wasting government money when you took the scholarship to go to school. Now that you got the scholarship and educated, you’re coming back running your mouth,” Fraser said. “You got a scholarship but you don’t want anyone else to get anything else?”
Fraser described those traits as selfishness and bad mindedness.
“They say bad mindedness is next to witchcraft. It’s the same thing with the Ellis Thomas Downs where people are there talking about compulsory acquisition – bad mindedness,“ Fraser argued.
Fraser previously clashed with former legislator and local cultural icon Eileene Parsons, who argued that the ongoing Ellis Thomas Downs land impasse should be resolved by forcefully taking the land from the owner.
Parsons expressed that one of the land owners has been holding the territory hostage, preventing the much-loved and traditional sport of horseracing from being conducted at the BVI’s lone horse racing facility based in Fraser’s electoral district.
Premier Dr Natalio Wheatley, after noting that the land owners drastically increased the rate for the lease, said his government will continue in negotiate with them to resolve the issue.

Fraser wants the country to be hostage to his bad mindedness and selfish pursuits of his family and cronies. Race course is a classic example of why Government should own the land before spending on it.
Why has there been no arrest and charge on the sea cows bay Harbour project? Public funds was used on private property owned by this man. His family members got the contracts and did not do the work. The audit report said all of this. The country did not benefit from the project only him and his company. The UK just seem to be going after who they want to destroy.
That lease agreement for the horse track was poorly negotiated by the government’s side.
You mean it is a classic case of a poorly negotiated contract. Whoever negotiated and signed that contract should be held accountable.
Because frazer isnt a favorite to win the next election. You gotta cripple the stronger ones
But it was ok for him to give out contracts only to his buddies. I can only laugh at the desperation and tactics because they can’t pu$$yf●●t with the government funds like before LOL LOL
You better close your eyes because you wont live long enough to see Fraser arrested for he is as clean as a whistle…Fraser give up his trade to represent his people to the fullest thats why he has been elected so many times….Fraser is the best hope for his district and possibly the entire country….He give us affordable reliable water, affordable cellphone rates, extended the airport, modernize tortola with stoplights, decent looking license plates and the list goes on and on with goodies…THIS MAN ACTUALLY TOOK THE HOG OUT OF HOG CITY
It’s one thing I like about him is that he calls a spade a spade. He don’t sugar coat nothing.
It appears to me that ever since Mr. Frasier assumed the position of Opposition Leader it appears he has developed a severe case of verbal diarrhea.
He might wish to drink a cup of flower water to counteract that. I would not want to see him as a consequence develop severe dehydrated.
And tell us where is your BVI passport holding children and grandchildren??
Right on most of what you wrote/posted except the cell phone.
Cell phone costs and rates are in the stratosphere. They are way to expensive and government is yet to unvail any legislationto protect consumers from the nbelievable gouging and thieving that occur in this place daily masquarading as business.Both business and government areone and the same. So consumers are appealing to a sky God for relief. Good luck with that.
You know, I would of have respect for this minister and sheep if they were vocal all year around. However, the spur of the moment awakens are nothing but efforts to get reelected. For the last 3 years the biggest joke on Tola Radio was if minister Fraser live in the 3rd. He, Sheep and Carvin has Rising
He is frighteningly uneducated. Him and so many other BVI politicians. All talk no game. Same story.
