I walk freely everyday dearest one ! there is no change,,,,, a lot of waste of time, as the UBP could have just changed their name in the 1st place !! Every political party has its ups and down, do good do not so good….recall the PLP sat in opposition for years, they did not go thru such drama as UPB are doing now ! They were also willing to accept they were the Opposition !

In the land where every white person is a racist and every black who is not PLP is a House N, and black foreigners who stand up have hearts of white folk and where labour unions protect employees who lie, and cheat and where politics is not driven by issues but rather race, a place where education has failed and the world is spinning us by, I welcome any new of possible change. After all, we know where we are going under the present government.

So using that logic, the PLP is still EB’s party just with a couple of different names.

If it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck, last time I checked, IT IS A DAMN DUCK!!!!!! It’s the rebirth of the U damn B damn P for goodness sake! My prediction: the Milkman will be placed in a safe seat during the next election so he can get back in the Lower House and BAM, he’ll be the Opposition Leader again! Note Opposition Leader: God help us if he becomes Premier. God help Bermuda!

Terry,

Is it true that Dr. Ewart Brown has actually joined the OBA (Old Bad Asses)?

What is going on with the leaders of this community??? OBA should be called OBAD! It will cover all the Names it used to be! I went to lay down and woke up with the news of resignations, independent MP and whatever. Does any of those MP’s get it, that 47% of the voters elected them, and they are pussy footing around in the House! If you resign, then get out of the HOUSE!! Bermuda as a whole is suffering. Some elected members of the House is in country are in shambles. If the ‘heads’ get it wrong, then we the people have no-one to look up too! You call this fiasco ‘A STRONG OPPOSITION” It more of the same. They can’t even get their ownself together let alone be a Loyal Opposition to the Government. .

Clearly there are still some people stuck on the PLP and don’t care about their country but I for one will be watching to see what the OBA can put together and deliver. I want an option for the next election so that I can see my country heading (being lead) in the right direction. And for my fellow PLP supporters, open your eyes and your minds, I have.

Lana, when was the last time you could walk this island freely. Your concerns were nothing more than leaving thye puppy tied up in the back yard and your pantry was full of needed items.

The rose will be and it will bloom and then it will die off. Trim it when time deceids and watch it sprout as you await what you want to see when it is time.

I think the article says he resigned as “Opposition Leader” that does not mean he has quit the UBP. So he is still a member of the UBP, but just not the official opposition leader.

Look Bermuda, its a reunion of the 40 Thieves, singing their new tune, HOTT off the press. Let’s see if Sir John backs this group. We know his son was a defector.
Oh the agony off this all.

I’m a big fan of Mr. Barritt and Mr. Gibbons and hope they become Premier and Deputy Premier after the next general election. Not only are they intelligent and progressive minded, they exhibit great integrity and are proud of Bermuda’s historical significance.

Keep on keeping on and stay focused! All the best
