You belong on the yellow site cause people like you are always flooding their comment section with p¡$$ . Before you just say R.I.P and leave it as that, yall post puré hogwash under the headline.
You said everyday but this was night
Need better roads in that trash country… All the people act like pompous a**holes and don’t even have 3rd wo ld country roads… Get better roads… Save more lives
Tortola done, done done done. East End Road is like a war zone.
We really need to hold to account those responsible for the disgraceful and dangerous roads. It starts with the Public Works Department and whoever is supposedly in charge of it and goes as far the auditors who need to find out where the money goes and exactly what the machines and men are working on at any given time.
Because it doesn’t look like they are doing much public work.
EVERYTHING IS PROGRAM TO DECIEVE THEIR OWN PEOPLE AND DISTRACTION IS ONE OF THEIR TOOL THAT IS USED WIGGLE THEIR WAY OUT OF THEIR HOLLYWOOD SIDE EFFECTS / A WHOLE SET OF SWEET TALKERS / THE WOMEN JUST AS BAD ?
It starts with Mark Vanterpool, Alvin Christopher, Kye, Jeremy Hodge, Jeffery Skelton, Quality and Autland Construction. All of them need to be held responsible for the dire condition of our roads. I can’t forget Water n Sewerage, Flow, RDA, Fahie, Dr Smith. What a shame. Millions upon Millions has been stolen and given away to their friends to make it look like they’re fixing the roads. 20 years later the roads are worst than Haiti and Africa.
