Comment: I am all for advancement; I believe though that the greatest benefit should be to the country, hence huge parcels of land should never be sold but leased. I also hope that a deadline for performance has been set and that there are sanctions for failure to perform. We have heard of many promises such as La Valle' Beaumont Horse and Greyhound Racing Course where prime land apparently off limits to locals have been given to expats who have failed to develop them.

Comment: On behalf of the Graduating Class of 2002 of the St. Theresa's Convent High School, I will like to express sincere condolences to the family members & friends of our now deceased classmate. We are deeply shocked by this incident and are trying to gather the strength to cope with this situation. We hope that justice will be served in due time and although that won't bring him back, we can breathe a sigh of relief knowing that they are off the sreets.

Comment: why are you people making noise about why and where the stadiom is?we here in tortola would be happy to have had the space you guys have.people dont worry be happy.

Comment: Something is definitely wrong with our legal system! One month jailed 9 months for beating a woman almost to death, a young man jailed for three years for stealing necklaces from the craft house and one given a $2000.00 fine for having cannabis... we do have our priorities all screwed!

Comment: Another young soul lost to the gun crime. We are soon going to have the type of reputation that Jamaica and Trinidad & Tobago have in terms of their high crime and murder rates. Is this really the path we want our country to go down? This is supposed to be the "country where peace abounds". I truly hope that the Ministry of Justice and National Security will take some strict and powerful action ASAP in response to the rising crime so we can have our country back. One by one our youths are dying while we wait on them to take this action. May he rest in eternal peace. My prayers go out to his family and friends at this time.

Comment: I agree with point 1...... Look at the crimes it is all between ages 15 to 30.... What is wrong with that generation.....GOD HELPS US ALL

Comment: to all the comenters who blaming the judge n magistrate needs to stop it. they did not try the case behind the lady back,she gave her side of the story and bush gave his side so whatever the out come is thats the way it suppose to be. you guys have to learn the difference between magistrate court n high court. the convictions is different.the magistrate could not give bush a high court sentence, he had to get a magistrate court conviction. i am totally against what he did but i understand the a bit of the court system since that i accustom to go there.

Comment: another incidence of black people downpressing we own!!! everybody had plans but nobody did anything until michael b started. how come now everybody remember that they had plans after michael b done put in the work he has.

Comment: i definately agree that disrespect is disrespect, but let us look at this situation from both side. some teachers do not know the proper way to deal with kids. they keep telling the students that they have already learned, and if they( the students) do not want to learn that is their business. if the teachers dont care why are they there. isn't that what they are being paid for, to help the students? example set, example followed.
