It is all too obvious that once again we are not being told the full story!
At least now even the regular laymen get that this is all a sham. The PLP is losing support fast and furious. Not that they won’t get re-elected, but I think they are going to be under a LARGE amount of stress from their supporters. This SDO is going against EVERYTHING they say in regard to “protecting Bermudians”. This is simply a case of building for the sake of building and is more of a bailout smokescreen. If you build they will come? No, they won’t because the tourists see “they paved paradise to put up a parking lot” That was all Bermuda had, her natural beauty and now it is covered in concrete, is it really a surprise the tourists don’t want to come here?

If this SDO goes through – Bermuda will look like the most uneducated country in the world. Why would you give a failing resort the means to build further? Especially when our tourism model DOES NOT WORK. AND everywhere else in the world is cutting back on real estate risk exposure while we are charging straight ahead with it.

When will our Goverment and residents wake up and stop letting things like this go through with no push back to say NO?!

I’m sure it probably helps that HSBC’s CEO is Dr Brown’s brother…

Nothing more than a sham to bail out the fat cats at HSBC. If the hotel rooms are not full now, they will not be after. They are just trying to sell off more Bermudian land to rich foreigners so they can make their dept payments and run.

Man someone really must have posted a giant billboard on North Rock that says “Suckers due South”.

TP have already announced financial hardship when they laid off staff. Extending the hotel makes no sense as it is rarely fully occupied. Building more fractionals, timeshares and residential houses makes no sense when there are others (ie reefs and Newstead) sitting empty around the Island. Granting an SDO to carve up one of the last remaining large scall hillsides is CRIMINAL. Further, that hillside is home to one of the most extensive cave systems in Bermuda showing that the minister, TP and the Government have absolutely NO CARE OR CONCERN for the welfare of future Bermudians, nor the sustainability of the Island. The last time TP found caves during development, they merely filled them in with ruble and said nothing. My poor dear children, what type of Bermuda will they be living in thirty years down the road compliments of this governments continuiously incompetent decisions?

Where oh where did those campaign promises go… oh where oh where did they go? The one thing that the PLP have proven consistently over the past 12 years is that power in the hands of some black folk can be just as destructive as power in the hands of those folk of a fairer persuasion that preceded them. I respectfully ask that you drop Progressive and Labour from your name.

Does anyone believe that these PLP politician are writing these speaches? None of these persons seem literate enough. The style is the same for everyone. I think they use overseas consultants to prepare everything.
