    Sad to say, but I am thankful there was only one shooting – in my pessimism regarding the state of our Country, I thought there would be many more problems than there were over festival!

    Where is the Christian Council ? The BVI has gone to the dogs . This is what the young Premier is promoting.
    As he says we are changing but for the worse.
    Changes are inevitable but no sah not this

    We complaining about losing our culture but look how little support East End / Long Look festival at the village was supported . Two pot of peas soup … the others were macaroni, bbq chicken and rice and peas
    A little stall with a few local artists work but yet still complaining that island people take over to promote Carnival blame the people in charge . They are all LOCALS
    The island artist cannot come in without the permission of the LOCALS who are in charge

    Where is the promotion of FUNGI music it is dying who to blame the island man . People need to stop
