Videos: UBP MPs Speak on Budget
Yesterday [Feb 25] the UBP hosted a press conference to address the 2011/12 Budget. MPs that spoke UBP Leader Kim.Swan, Shadow Finance Minister Bob Richards, MP John Barritt, MP Louise Jackson, and MP Charles Swan.
Louise Jackson speaks on pensions, health insurance, seniors and more:
John Barritt speaks on the debt level and cuts, saying cuts do not stimulate the economy, we need business growth. Mr Barritt said we “are in this difficulty as Government put us in it.”
Opposition Leader Kim.Swan said what we face is of “monumental importance”, and said the “solutions have been coming time and time again.” He says Bermuda has not been practicing what “everyone in Government has been preaching and we are in a dire situation because of it.”
The full 14 minute video of Shadow Finance Minister Bob Richards presentation and answering questions is below. He begins by saying the economy is in the “most perilous state since World War II.” Mr Richards went on to say that we need to “restart the Bermuda economy” and he feels this budget avoids the issues and looks like an “election budget.”
The 11 minute video below shows part #2 of the Press Conference Q&A:

So long as that UBP banner is behind you, nobody cares what you say.
Especially when you are as condescending as Bob the Snob.
So it’s his “condescension” that stops you from listening to him when he’s right?
That’s just sad.
So what banner will it take for you to realise PLP is doing you in?
Oh I know the PLP is doing us in. I also know the UBP will never, ever be the agents of change cuz they will never, ever win another general election. The UBP has no relevancy.
BottomLine, where are you living? The UBP stood and stands for good governace, have they made mistakes in the past yes but not as much in 30 years as PLP in the 10 years. They need to stay strong and not let the defectors along with Barritt, Dunkley, Pettingil and Crockwell decide for us. We voted UBP and many will after this. don’t follow traitors and on the fence trying to be nice politicians!
I live in the world of reality. You are standing next to a grave in denial, hoping that somehow the corpse will rise and deliver us all to freedom. Pigs will fly before the UBP ever wins another general election.
It has been proven again and again that people do not listen to reason.
As a result we will destroy this country.
Too bad it use to be a nice place to live
Thank goodness I got my UK passport a few years ago. I will not live in Bermuda when it turns into a 3rd world country. Some people are so stuck up on PLP that they will not appreciate what anyone else has to say or do that will make this country a better place. We have been HAD, SWINDLED, LIED TO by our current Govt and the people still would rather live in squalor than put their faith into someone else who could lead us out of this mess.
Just so you know, I am black, Bermudian, have lived here all my life and struggled to get where I am now. I feel that what little I have is now threatened by our current administration.
I refuse to let anyone PLP, UBP, BDA take and loot my country and then smile in my face for a vote. Wake the hell up Bermuda.
u so so right
I tend to agree with Reality. We the people voted for the UBP and I respected Dunkley and Barritt at the time. Now that is not the case. They are just like the Ewart’s of the world, back biting and making deals without coming out and giving we a voters a choice. Let them apologize; I have NOTHING to apologize for! Who are they going to fool. Lets start an independent party void of all these jokers and called like I saw on another blog – one Bermuda alliance. lol
So what,specifically, do Dunkley & Barritt need to apologise for? For being white maybe???
They are 2 of the very few polititians who deserve to have HONOURABLE associated with their names. If only we gad alot more Dunkleys & Barritts, of any colour, we would be in much better shape.
The shame is that the majority of them are like Reality says. Basically the scum of the earth.
of course you would think that way – they are your great white hope but they r only pretending to regain power, once in power, dunkley will bring back cat o nine and who will be getting the beatings? Not a Dunkley nor a Barritt? drift away triangle.
Soooo… based on the bizarre recitation of debunked rhetoric, your first post and, indeed, your very name, was a complete fabrication, right?
You’re just another demagogue, spreading propaganda.
so very true and sad state our dear county is in. who is one bermuda alliance going to fool – only themselves. I only vote UBP and am BLACK. Sad to see they the Dunkley and company don’t support the Black leaders we respect. Could that be the reason the Jamals and Gwens and Maxwell defected? Polls are a joke, me and my mates answer different every time they call,its always the same dumb questions
@ Thinking, whats Dunkley, Barritt et al have to appollogise for. You lost me on that one.
The BDA wants them all to apologize before they sign on the dotted line, you heard that in the meetings.
You keep pushing that line, but won’t say what they have to apologize for…
Makes you wonder what your game is “Thinking”
