for god’s sakes Bermuds, this is not the time to showing dissention and disagreement.
the discussion should be focused on how we can make this event an overwhelming success.
this is not the time to bite the proverbial hand thst feeds us.
You cant expect people to back the event if you don’t give them the full details.
That’s why they’re having this town hall meeting plus more…common sense isn’t too common these days!
There is no separation of powers in this country. The Legislature envisions, crafts and passes a law and the same body is responsible for executing that law.
The executive branch which would be Mr. Dunkley is a part of the branch which passed the law. This is essentially a dictatorship.
There is little to no hope that the courts will stand-up to these people’s actions.
People see this – it is hopeless.
This event is not a long-term plan to fix Bermuda’s economic problems.
This event is a bunch of trust babies having a party and telling the public they will benefit by being caters.
So, the long-term vision for this country is to be a hub for sailing regatttas?
What is the vision for this country? How are we progressing in that direction?
There must be fundamental change in this country in order to lift us from the current state we are in. Hope does not lie with this bunch.
