Any news on his black ancestors who kept slaves? Nanny Straker
Could anyone envision that ( LAZY, DUMB ASS, UNAWARE, USELESS, EUSTACE )
standing there representing St. Vincent.
No, not unless we have a fair voting system in SVG. Instead we have something else…
What, Lostpet, You are now judge and jury of elections.
Hear this, put up or shut up.
Read the OAS report you JACK ASS.
Bonadie to send a man who is holding a constituency seat that may well have been stolen by persons currently unknown is an insult to the president. If it is proven the seat was subject to fraud he must take responsibility for that just as if he did it himself. At that time the Queen should be lobbied through her Forfeiture Committee asking them to advise the Queen to strip him of his Knighthood.
In fact this mans black Vincentian ancestors kept slaves there is documentary evidence of such held in the Kingstown registry. He should be paying reparations on behalf of his ancestors and family.
As for Mr Eustace he is none of the things that you chose to call him that is part of the nasty ULP propaganda machine to try and fool the people about his competence. Arnhim Eustace is a hardworking and ultra honest individual. He has never been accused of sex assaults by numerous women and he has never been charged with sexual assault or rape.
SVG is right there licking boot for table scaps as Taiwan gets the better end of the bargain making millions and billions flying SVG flags on their fishing fleets as they deplete the oceans in our name. “What a government!”
So on point here. They got jacked and don’t even know it. SVG Citizen reminds me of a childhood story the Emperors New clothes, these folks are being taken on a ride by their Ali Baba king for 15 years and still they can’t see it.
