I am aware of the Honourable Speaker's latest statement relating to representation in the Fourth District.  

toma la luna
y toma una estrella
cuando no sepas
quién eres
pinta la imagen en tu mano
y vuelve a casa

toma la luna
y hazla hablar
saca tu alma
hazla andar
pinta la imagen en tu mano
y vuelve a casa
Extracto de “Howlin at the Moon” [Aullando a la luna] de Wayne Keon

La poesía, en todas sus formas, es un poderoso instrumento de diálogo y acercamiento. Es una expresión íntima que abre las puertas a los demás, enriquece el diálogo que cataliza todos los progresos humanos y teje lazos entre las culturas.

Poetry, in all its forms, is a powerful tool for dialogue and rapprochement. An intimate expression that opens doors to others, it enriches the dialogue that catalyzes all human progress and weaves cultures together.

May I first wish you all a very pleasant morning. I am very grateful for the opportunity to be here on the occasion of this seminal workshop, and to extend very warm greetings to our visiting guests on behalf of the Government and people of the Virgin Islands.

The government of the British Virgin Islands joins the world community in strongly condemning the act of terrorism this week in New Zealand.

Good Evening,  May the Peace of the Lord be upon my Caribbean comrades.  I bring to you, greetings on behalf of the Government and people of the British Virgin Islands. Today, I am indeed delighted to join you all on this most historic occasion, and for my first visit to your beautiful islands of Guadeloupe.  

I want to start by giving God all the glory, honour and praise.

I recognise all those who have been recognised before. I also recognise the presence of all dignitaries and their spouses. But it would be remiss of me if I didn’t recognise my very good friends from the U.S Virgin Islands, Governor and Lieutenant Governor of the U.S Virgin Islands, Governor Bryan Jr., and Lieutenant Governor Roach – two very good friends of mine.

Ladies and Gentlemen of the Virgin Islands,  I am pleased to report to you that the European Union has announced today that it recognises the BVI as compliant with its fair taxation principles as well as being a cooperative jurisdiction.

Good morning.  My name is Julian Willock, the Speaker of the Fourth House of Assembly.  I thank God for allowing me to be here with good health and strength.
