Vexed Bermoothes

After months of waiting, the Commission of Inquiry into corruption and official misconduct in the Turks & Caicos Islands has delivered its final report.  The Governor there is expected to make an announcement today.

Our own Dr. Brown has perplexingly tied his boat to the discredited PNP administrations of Michael Misick and Galmo Williams.  It is surprising that he would choose to spend his political capital in this way.

It appears that the Misick glitz has long ago lost its lustre.  At a large church service this week:

At that point, Ellis became political and said that this country has shown a lot of progress since then and “we cannot let the Commission of Inquiry ‘Stop the Progress’”, which was a repeat of the PNP campaign slogan of 2007. “We all have leprosy,” Ellis was heard to say, referring to the population of the TCI, but only Misick is being singled out, he said.

At that point, large groups of people were seen on TV walking out and the cameras momentarily caught the large exodus then turned away. However, Bishop Ellis shouted in front of the camera admonishing those leaving calling them “Sissies and punks.” Then he turned to the remainder of the crowd, telling them, “Go on all you sissies and punks, get out, get out!”

Update:  The TCI Governor acknowledged receipt the report, and said that an announcement would be made within 3 weeks regarding its public release and commencement of the interim government.
