I want to ask you what power the BIU has over the government? You must know, one foot in either camp, do the BIU know where the bodies are buried? WHo spirited away the cash at Berkeley, TCD and the Court building?

The white people? I’m black, Bermudian and have lived the struggle and I believe certain Ministers have lined their pockets. That’s what politics is all about. EB did it and didn’t care to hide the fact. Lavern, sorry but you are living in your own clueless black and white world. I hope you never run for a seat, I will never support you.

The pressure’s on the drivers now..put up or shut up.

A bunch of taxi drivers, who can’t make up their minds, let alone manage anything for themselves, are expected run their own industry. Good luck!

At least they will have some oversight though it will still be like organizing a nursery school class after all have been loaded up with chocolate.

It led to the famous “unethical but not illegal” comment.

That’s lining pockets in anyone’s language.

You people? Too funny…

You people really don’t give up do you?

In one day, he’s supported the PTB over hte idiot bus drivers, and secondly, he’s taking steps to address the dire taxi situation. You could almost see this as a way of ultimately de-politicising the issues. A good step forward.

Shame his predecessor was too busy linig his pockets to do anything useful.

We added the Minister’s statement to the Bus Strike post: http://bernews.com/2011/02/updating-on-bus-strike-day-2/

I understand that they’re separate issues, but any acknowledgement from government would be kind of appreciated. Whatever.
