No place in gov’t! So-called ‘liberator’ slams VIP’s poor record
The incumbent Virgin Islands Party (VIP) government has been denounced as the proverbial head of the snake by Progressives United (PU) party leader, Julian Fraser.
Fraser, who recently announced the formation of a soft alliance between his party and the Progressive Virgin Islands Movement (PVIM), is currently seeking re-election for a seventh consecutive term as the Third District Representative.
Fraser, often referred to during his launch as the ‘liberator’, told residents that he communicated with leaders of both the PVIM and National Democratic Party (NDP) to make his intentions clear about ousting the current government.
“I have called the leaders of [PVIM] and the other party, [the NDP], to let them know in no uncertain terms, there’s one enemy out there — that’s the Virgin Islands Party,” Fraser stated at his campaign launch over the weekend. “We got to cut the head off that snake.”
He assured persons that the only reason he didn’t have the visible support of the NDP during his campaign launch was that they, too, had a contender in the Third District; Aaron Parillon — an opponent Fraser promised to ‘take care of’ at the polls.
In the meantime, Fraser flayed the VIP government over their reported neglect of his district, heaping blame and ridicule on them for the myriad of derelict vessels scattered across the Sea Cows Bay harbour nearly six years after two category-five hurricanes struck the territory in 2017.
“These people, they have absolutely no place in government. None. And that’s why I said to you, this election is so important to me,” Fraser told residents.
He pointed to the continued poor state of water distribution in the district and the open burning of garbage, which continues at the Pockwood Pond landfill site and which residents have endured for years coupled with thick, black plumes of smoke flowing through the air.
“This country is in so much trouble. You cannot afford not to send me back to the House of Assembly. Mark my words, you cannot afford not to. This is not a game. It’s not a joke,” Fraser pleaded.

ONLY FRASER CAN DEFEND THE 3RD DISTRICT TO THE FULLEST….AARON AND OJ TOO SOFT AND GREEN TO HANDLE THIS SITUATION
Hon Fraser is a respectable man…You wont find him hanging out in bars getting drunk or having the waitresses sitting in his lap…You can find him in his office or at home with his lovely wife…Talk that!
Vote for fraser and the PVIM at-large team DO NOT VOTE FOR THOSE AT’LARGE CANDIDATES WHO TIED THE GREEN CLOTH ON EVERY LIGHT POLE IN THE BVI
This new version of the VIP is no good
If Fraser is such a respectable man, then why is he under investigation for the Sea Cow’s Bay Harbour Project? What did he do with the money from the project that was made payable to Fraser Inc? Read about his interview with the Commission of Inquiry which can still be found online. He pretends a lot of things to people but there is a lot he is hiding under the bushel which will come to light one day.
Fraser was never arrested or placed on bail for anything so wheel and come again.
We don’t want the extra baggage of PVIMP nor NDP, we want an Independent Fraser.
We appreciate our good leader in the VIP lead party, it’s just that the ticket was not well put together. However we prefer you Mr Fraser make peace with VIP leadership and be in a position to support a preferred VIP government.
With your tried and tested leadership you can bring much improvement to your district. The votes you need will come from your old VIP supporters, so don’t knock our premier, he will lead us to a new and greater Virgin Islands.
Julian will be hearing from the Auditor General soon enough. The Sea Cows Bay Harbour Project right there in the COI just like the Myron high school wall corruption. If Fraser get arrested and charged that would be two candidates in the House of Assembly being investigated. For PVIM Fraser is bad news. You already losing votes.
myron is the only one arrested and charge for corruption and must face jail time.. Opp I forget he and andrew
The VIP is a Party which thrive on corruption.
Their 9th District Rep. is allegedly also being investigated just like Frazer. Remember The VIP Cabinet Members stood before the COI and agreed to wanting to give a criminal Rapist the sacred gift of Belonger status? Having Belonger status can qualify you for a UK Passport. Where was the protection for Females in the Territory? All of them have Wives, Sisters, Daughters and Side Chicks. Thank God for Mrs. Rosalie Adams, Acting Governor at the time. Let Zoey say BAM! to that. Don’t forget also it was the Minister for Lands under VIP who said that in order for our Youth to acquire Crown Lands they had to produce a Bank Statement? Is that caring about our Youth? Who owns the Land, Owns the wealth! VIP MUST GO!!! Anyone with credibility could have NEVER join a VIP Team. That speaks volume to the level of corruption in our Territory. The BVI people deserves BETTER!!!
The VIP is the only party with an Excon running for office so which party is worst?…Oh I almost forget that the candidate for the 9th is being investigated for some kind of land matter.
It wasnt Fraser who sold the land across from the Hospital by the helicopter pad and it wasnt Fraser who sold the land up Pasea by the seaside. It wasnt Fraser who give away 45 million dollars.
If there were any evidence as you all allude to; why has the been charged like the others? 20 days out and a lot can still happen but why wait until the 11th hour to cause disruption in the electoral process? If no additional charges are brought on anyone seeking election after this week, all this chatter is moot.
Chatter is Moot? Anytime a VIP Gov’t is re-elected into power, NDP. PVIM.PU. and others will be marching through Road Town staving off the UK take over. The only difference this time, there will be no negotiation. If the people of the BVI like to gamble just try it and see. The VIP smells trouble for the future of this Territory and people. The World is watching and so is the UK. This is the one time not to truss GOV.
Stop light at roundabout – thousands wasted. Whose pig – headed idea was that?
