Politicians lying on campaign trail without blinking — Skelton Cline
The issue of lying politicians on the campaign trail has deeply affected at least one outspoken local commentator and political pundit.
Clergyman Claude Skelton Cline took umbrage as he pointed to the various aspiring politicians and those seeking re-election whom he said continued to lie to the people about their promises and their record of achievement in office.
“When I listen to some of this stuff, I said, man, this is unbelievable. Now, you can lie so articulately, without blinking. We need to get some of these politicians and some of these aspiring, a lie journal,” Skelton Cline said on his Honestly Speaking show yesterday, April 4.
Skelton Cline said this was in order for them to keep track of the many unbelievable falsehoods they have been uttering to the public.
No stranger to controversy himself, Skelton Cline pleaded with the electorate to steer clear of politicians with the gift of charisma on polling day.
“In this election, it’s not about who is the most charismatic. It’s not about who’s the most articulate in this particular election, this particular guava crop. This particular mango season is not about the gifts,” he expressed.
Skelton-Cline continued to argue that the territory was in need of a reset which would see the replacement of the current government, arguing that there are dark and diabolical forces at work that are seeking to pervert and sabotage the destiny of the BVI.
He urged residents to adopt a level of discernment to see through the facade and the smoke and mirrors that he said are heightened around the time of elections.
In the meantime, Skelton Cline said he was delighted about the many women that have offered themselves up as candidates and urged women in the community not to vote against their interests. And while urging them not to ‘player hate’, Skelton Cline pleaded with women voters to support other strong women they believe fit the bill of where the country is at this time.
But despite the many female candidates and his previous predictions about women adopting more leadership roles in the legislature, Skelton Cline in offering his election forecast, pointed to just two women he felt were assured of victory at the polls later this month — Alvera Maduro-Caines (D6) and Perline Scatliffe-Leonard (D7).
Skelton Cline pointed to the two women contesting District Four, Sandy Harrigan-Underhill and Luce Hodge-Smith, but declined to call a victor for that contest over their male opponent, Ian Smith.

Wouldn’t somebody give this character some hush pills. Sick and disgust seeing it’s reappearance using undermining tactics on gullible individuals.
Pot meet kettle. It’s people like this dude in the church who does lead people to drink kool-aid…..sick MS
He deosn’t even know there are three women contesting D4 and the one he missed is sure to win. Rosita Scatliffe-Thompson is not tainted by these “parties”.
Did he lie to tax payers?
city slicker cline ) when you alone was doing it , it wasn’t a problem , and now everyone is doing it , you feeling the pain , well we had a good teacher ?
…You lie in your sleep, now what?
Why give this —- so much publicity? Can’t you see he lives on it?
He don’t have work to do like actually fulfilling the requirements of the 3 contracts he was given? Choops.
Just like you sir. Just like you.
We have seen your constant lying, in the name of a god we do not know. Yet you claim to be a holy man who lies, cheats, and steals.
Yes you are so clean
Since Mika live last night, is like the place gone crazy and Vino shut down LMAO
Mika showed us more than your drivel revelations….who the dope head and sodomists are and more to come…buss belly!
You are so right with that…Its just like two men looking a woman, the lying one always get her. Thats why they can never stop lying because they kept winning. The honest ones kept losing….Mmmmmssss
You have just described 99.9% or just about every human being on earth. Careful throwing those stones out there. Yo house maybe made of glass also.
Though many put on that outward demeanor, and even try to be, none on earth is clean, honest, upright or Godly.
Those who put on that outward farce are just as much liars themselves. There are no saints walking earth, in or out of church, christian or heden.
So let us also say, just like you, just like you. All human has fallen short…
says the pied piper
We are all sinners.
Yet this man chooses to flaunt god in our faces and demand respect because of it. When he is caught red handed, while preaching holiness, it is up to “god” to determine his guilt.
I so done with this pathetic excuse of a human.
Teacher Percy say if yo tell a lie yo going to hell as soon as yo die. Claude hook a fish so big he had to tie it on he boat and swim back to land to get uncle John to give him a hand.
THAT WAS REALLY FUNNY ?
Dem does lie so
Anyone who Claud S Clyne endorses represents a culture of corruption.
Nature Little Secret is being exposed .
I heard a Pastor put down a prayer at the Stickett this week it is a shame .
How can we as Ministers of the gospel utter such words . Pray is not against your opponent . Let God’s will be done even though you want your party to win . Eyes wide open pontificating. It is sad what Christianity has come to .
Claude as a Minister you needed to be clean in your dealings with the country purse . You are contributing to the hypocrisy and lies .
What do you expect
The former Premier was having fast and prayer .but yet still running to the obeah man in Senegal … God is not mocked . That is bringing curse on the land . We need to be clean . Respect our marriage vows, respect law and authority and respect our fellow men
Blinking no. Ever notice the big smile while they lie
Of course an expert liar would know when people are lying.
