He is the new travelling man
You sound so studpid. All leaders of countries travel in order to help their country and establish ties.
When Dr. Smith travel it was a problem now because Andrew doing it there is not a problem?
When Doc traveled we got nothing but trouble and unethical deals. Here we are benefiting as a people.
He done pass kedric with frequent flyer miles
At least he reports his travel and the Territory is receiving the benefits.
Premier we are so proud of you
How many trips is this in total? Not even three full months yet and gone to Guadeloupe, UK, Nicaragua, and more. What will the BVI really receive out of the thousands being spent on travel?
more trips than donald trump and actually spending more than we are making right now
Mr.Premier, when are you comming to New York on business, would love for you to visit Brooklyn.
That would be great if the Premier can make a trip to Brooklyn for the Labor Day Caribbean Parade. Why not, the majority of leaders from the Caribbean is in Brooklyn for Labor Day.
I thought he was supposed to be in VG tonight…
I would like to see better suits made for our Premier , after all he is the ultimate representation and perhaps a little shoe polish . He is a brilliant man and we want him to look his best !
This man look like he is running a one man show. What happen to the other ministers, they cant travel too?
What an un-researched comment. The other Ministers also do their official travel. Also you cannot fix the BVI unless you get around the table abroad. Premier keep up the good work.
I agree, just look how the other men are tailored he really can do better.
Yes Premier, no disrespect, but it is time to have some new suits tailored made to issue a better fit. You are representing us and you have to look your best at all times.
Maybe he could eat a couple less hamburgers.
Not a good example in this diabetes ridden country.
I think they want to get BWI Airway so they can hang out some more down the Leeward Islands. “Dis Iz Weez, I going ride 1st class every time if we get it back..
The amount of stupid post on this about the Leader of a country travelling to get better for the country is totally out of ignorance. Some of the people in the BVI do not need representing only drowning.
So of all the leaders attending only the BVI benefits?
Our Premier should be commended that a panel of this high quality requested of the Premier of the BVI to be part of this panel. This makes me proud of our Premier.
Please don’t give him suit ideas ,next thing he bring in Calvin Klein to be his personal ….
Are you serious?? Calvin Klein don’t carry those yuge s***s. A Chinese company would work.
