Senior Anegada resident blasts CoI as hypocritical

Senior Anegada resident blasts CoI as hypocritical

93-year-old Anegada resident, Darvin G. Potter has lambasted the United Kingdom (UK) sponsored Virgin Islands Commission of Inquiry (CoI) as an exercise of the "the pot calling the kettle bottom black while both are cooking on open wood fires.”

Mr Potter, who wrote the letter to the CoI Commissioner, Sir Gray R. Hickenbottom since February 3, 2021, shortly after the controversial CoI was announced, said another Bible analogy for the UK is that they should take the plank out your eye, “then you will be able to see to take the speck of dirt out of someone else's eye.”

UK blasted as Hypocrites!


“You are a hypocrite,” the respected Anegadian wrote in the three-page long letter addressed to the commissioner. The letter has reportedly gone unanswered by the Commission.

“This a proverb well known here in the West Indies, the one who lives in a glasshouse, should not throw stones at other people's glasshouses. To the Chairman of this inquiry, you are just doing the before mentioned, and let me bring you up to speed on Virgin Islands manners. Respect breeds respect,” he said.

“We know why you are here so let me spell it out for you. It is not to find out if corruption and mismanagement is taking place. It is to take a scrumptious living and future for the white families that Britain wants to send here to give them a better future at our expense,” Potter lashed out.

He said the people of the VI know the history of Great Britain, of the empire, leaving Europe and going to Africa, and raping it for the spoils of gold, silver, diamond, and minerals.

UK were teachers of slavery & subjugation of blacks


“All those black people who opposed her were killed. Britain taught P.W. Botha of South Africa to subjugate the blacks by killing them, and jailing the black leaders like Nelson Mandela, for saying that by any means necessary he will take back freedom.”

The 93-year-old Potter said all of Britain's territories, for the tenure of her rule, were prepared to be subservient people.

“After demanding independence by the insistence of the United Nations were put loose on the sea of nationhood without a paddle, shameful.”

He asked Gary R. Hickenbottom to tell his bosses the people of the VI know that the fix is in, “We have watchers watching for us. You do not see them, but they are seeing you. Wish it were possible to have an audience with you,” he said in closing.

Speaking to our newsroom today, February 11, 2022, Mr Potter, who refers to himself as a 'student of history', said he wasn't expecting to get a response from Hickinbottom but the message was sent.
