British Virgin Islands

[needawin]

So the UK Con servative Government are taking over the running of the British Virgin Islands due to reports of corruption there. You really couldn't make it up.
Lunatics running the asylum.

[ToraToraTora]

So you are happy that the BVIs are being run corruptly?

[ToraToraTora]

do you have a link to this story?

[goodgoalie]

So would you be happier for the BVI to continue to be run by an alleged drug smuggler and money launderer?

news header: "It is common practice to offer a link to the news article you would like to discuss " - I merely want to know what the OP wants to discuss as recommended by the site.

Except of course it will be the left wing civil service running it.

So perhaps you have a point, lunatics running the asylum.

expensive place to live, the islands who want to go solo id say don't ask for help in the future, as pink floyd lyric goes, the child is grown the dream is gone.

it is called state capture ( criminals running a country/state)
big thing about Zuma and south africa

and you have to have a charismatic leader - Zuma or here Fahy to carry it off - or else you get a Boris reaction

Hey talk about irony
anyone noticed the contrast with Boris and Neilly the MP

Boris blah blahs about getting all the facts in. the Boris lovers on AB parrot o yes yes we must have the facts before a judgement

and poor Neilly ( is he a bad MP?) no investigation, no charges no case. Just an allegation and out he goes !

such is life

// it will be the left wing civil service running it.//
Buggins or Bulganin - does it matter?
neither are drug dealers

[ynnafymmi]

You need to come up to Scotland some time,needawin.

[fiveleaves]

I am not sure how corrupt a country's government has to be if a better option is to have Boris Johnson Conservatives running it directly

[youngmafbog]

For goodness sake, the Conservatives wont be running it.

Met a fella from Anguilla on a law course and he said 2020 who said "o it was my uncle who shot at the colonial officer."
