Too bad you did not get someone else to do your research (not digging). Obviously, you couldn’t do it that is why you have the wrong information. In Bermuda, Kimberley Durrant was a Law Research at Supreme Court. She was working under the guidance of their Judges and Lawyers. Many of them previously have held that position, It is known that Kimberley finished tops in London’s best law schools including Oxford University and is the only person featured at the University’s website.

I know that you’ll be surprise to know that young Bermudians can really archieve. The have brilliant minds. Persons like you always think negative; hence today’s problem.

Again you have mis-information, the wrong facts. Remember that the Past Premier (you can ask the present Premier)only wanted to surround himself with with strong intelligent persons; hence not YOU.

Once you have Kimberley’s education and qualification you can have a discussion. Until than be quiet.

Remember great minds talk about ideas
Average minds talk about events
Small minds talk about people.

I have no time to waste on wrong facts. Therefore I will not be responding to you.

I think that all of us are politically immature not just the PLP supporters. Those that escape the immaturity are either dround out by the immature and are the one driving us over the edge.

I take exception to her claiming to “understand the burdens” Bermudians are facing, since I have yet to hear that she has taken a cut of her more-than $4000 a week salary.

I also note that consultants Commissiong et al are receiving more than $400,000 a year (Gazette, July 18 headline). That sum could have kept the Sunshine League and Teen Services going. It shows me exactly where this government’s priorities lie. NOT with the people, for sure!

I generally work around the clock, and my Dad works extensive hours, but this past week threw us for a loop, and I did what I could, but my Dad was my priority.

Of course these are your very own ratings. As they are not a true nor fair representation of the MP’s performances. I would have to question by what measures did you come up with such ratings? It seem like it is based upon your personal dislikes, rather than a fair unbais, valid measure of performance. For example, if your boss, rated you as a lawyer who falls at the botton of class and poor performance in every area. Oh course you would want to know what criteria he used to measure your performance. Lets be fair and if you evaluate someone’s performance attempt next time to leave out your political views and bias assumptions. I am sure that rating that are done with such bias are never acceptable. As a lawyer, I would have thought you had more better judgement regarding evaluation of individuals performance and the various types of criteria that are used.

You have made everyone aware of the up coming meeting. This type of response means that you have got persons attention !! Persons are engaged in talking, even though the level of discourse may be of a lower standard. It is good that you are working and talking with the people to move Bermuda forward. Stand firm and do not allow the nay-sayers and political pundits worry you. They will say anything if they believe it will win their party a place at the house on the hill. Well done !! Hang in there !! !!

Its funny how when the truth hits the Press how even the most staunch PLP Supporter will still support The Party.

hats off to the Premier as both she and Brown quickly realised PLP voters were gullible and EASILY tricked or entertained.

Watch for the upcoming spin ball – another bullet in the mail from the white man, discredit Mike Dunkley for firing a black employee who stole a carton of milk, 5 more TIEAs, a trip to Russia or Africa to sign an MOU on Takaful Financing that will never go past the 3 tranactions already completed.

As a black PLP supporter i must say we are so politically immature as a group the UBP really shoudnt have given us the vote – Governors Martonmere, Sharples and the Oligarchy should have simply increased our comforts more, instead of creating social and racial strife to make us believe in the management ability of a bunch of trde unionists, and blacks who only ever really craved for acceptance, hence the obsession with titles – Honourable, Minister, Leader, MP, Don, Dame.

Hopefully our next generation take time to read about Bermuda, its history and the vital role they have of not repeating our mistakes, obsession with race as the reaon for all failures or sucesses.

PLP offers absolutely nothing for whitey and they prove it everyday. That is why you won’t see whitey at the meeting. Not because whitey is racist, but because they have been selectively eliminated. It works well for PLP. As I said in a previous post, when blacks realize they’ve been had and the last race card has been dealt – PLP will have nothing else. Then, and only then, will we see change.

In your frank opinion, why did the BIU Co-Op fail?

Another Consultant on the Books……and likely to be an expensive one!

Renee lives in or near to Seattle Washington……which means she has to fly to Bermuda or the EU for meeting…..makes no sense

I’m now puzzled as to what that expensive London Office is doing….can that office not represent Bermuda on EU Relations?

I just did some digging….that office is headed by Kimberley Durrant, a former court clerk…..one of EB’s cronnies…….another waste of Tax Payer Dollars. In that case I would see why Paula needed to appoint Renee as an Advisor.

See that’s another problem that the PLP Government bring to the table…..They hire their inexperienced supporters in roles that float high above their ability and then they find themselves in a situation of having to hire another person to support that persons weakness…..as in the case of hiring Renee.

Paula Cox, it’s time to get real and lift that cloak of transparency!

They must own and accept that it is their (PLP Govt.’s) responsible for the poor decisions and their reckless use of the public purse as to why we are in the state we are in. If you think that the UBP where in power solely because they had ‘money pumped into them’ you are fooling yourself. The UBP stayed in power for thirty odd years for several reasons, partly because they ran successful economies (over employment) remember that?, they had a very good political machinery in place, canvassing (mostly volunteers)etc.. the PLP have NEVER been good canvassers, it seemed as if they just expected to be voted in, the PLP self destructed on more than one occasion (infighting/the expulsions being one)handing the reigns back to the UBP almost by default,the dual seat system,The fact that the PLP was for so long extremely left wing in a very conservative society, (we still are) they had to change and bringing themselves more to the political center.

The fact that many want(ed) them to fail has nothing to do with where we are today so you need to come of of that tack. I agree that Obamma is in a similar and an even worse situation, it is truly sad to see the lengths that the Republicans … go to but that’s politics. Here the PLP can steam roll (and Does) any legislation it wants quite different from what Obama has to deal with, even the Senate here can only delay legislation.

Social Programs? spare me, the UBP did have social programs in place you could argue that they just didn’t have enough of what the public needed or wanted. I’m sure there was an element of, who will we pay for it? so too many where probably under funded, Free schooling, pensions, and the plethora of things for young people plus many of the others that still exist didn’t start in 1998 you know.

Frankly I’m not interested in Obama or the Republicans as I live in Bermuda, obviously how America performs directly impacts us so having a good president etc… is obviously important to us and the wider world. That is no excuse as to why the PLP have made a hash of things here is it?! I do agree with your comments on the Republicans slate of candidates though, sheesh!!

As a Black Man I agree that the comments mentioned earlier where/are deeply offensive to me as well and as I mentioned anyone can do anything with the right education, training, experience but it is the PLP who have screwed up the economy, made poor decisions … not all Black People.

So what if ‘The White Man’ and some others (Spare Me!!) wanted them to fail the Govt just needed to heed good advise (even from the UBP) make sensible decisions and look after the people of Bermuda, sadly they haven’t always done that have they? They thirst for power just like the (old) UBP, its called Politics. Of course the Opposition is looking to make you look incompetent and point out your failings, it’s the Westminster System of Government, no body wants to be in the opposition forever as you go into politics to be Government right?! The sad thing as it is the Govt who have been the ones giving them (and others) the ammunition (lots of it) needed to snipe at them, sure some/much is unfair depending on your view point but some/much is fair and that the PLP Govt. Must Own it!!

Ask yourself this when there was a deepening recession that was strangling business’ both local and International, tourism … why did the Govt not act more responsible to the people of Bermuda. All the Social Programs that you seem to think that they put in place need what to exist? money!! Well if the Govt was so concerned about us surely they would have done a better job managing the economy knowing that those wasted millions would be needed someday, instead it was waste waste waste, overspend after over spend, junket after junket.

On That Surely the must Own It!!

Obviously most of that is BS as we know with good education, proper training … Black (anyone) can manage and own a business’ ….

They where however correct with the final bit though, the PLP have shown gross Incompetence, and have helped just as much as the often cited recession to destroy the economy and ruin the Island, sorry the proof stares us in the face everyday!!

Own It!!

The solution is simple If they are doing so well then copy them by going into business Yeah Right, It takes Guts, Commitment, Hard work and some Self Belief … Got any of that?

When the last race card has been dealt and race is no longer an issue – you and the rest of the PLP will have zero, nada, nothing. The PLP is all about race – and that is the only guarantee they can give you. That is also why the meeting is at a place like WWC.

Say what you want about the OBA. At least they want to attract all races. PLP is only interested in dividing the races – it works for them so well. As I said before, the poor uneducated disadvantaged blacks are the ones who have been most harmed by the PLP. Yet they still flock like sheep. So sad.

Now your assumption that he has a “genetic predisposition” towards whitesis probably right on.

One argument for the lack of whites at so called “black events” can be the not so hospitable manner in which whites are received at these events. I don’t have enough fingers and toes to count the amount of times that I have been posed with the question, “white boy, what you doing “round here” or “you don’t belong ’round here white boy” or “go back around the Yacht Club (despite none of my family members have ever been members and the only time I have been inside was when I worked as a bartender once” or “we don’t wasnt your kind “round here” or my personal favorite is getting slapped up and robbed because “my ilk are not welcome in these parts.” True stories.

I think you should re-post this this on the RG website, where MPs such as Dunkley and Laverne Furbert frequently comment. That way they’ll hopefully see it.

Why wouldn’t you support Dunkley?

WE WOULD RATHER SUFFER UNDER A BLACK GOVT THEN PROSPER UNDER A WHITE ONE!!!

Scream it from the roof tops and from the hills.

Say it loud and say it proud: I HATE WHITE PEOPLE!

And like I said stop talking all your nonsense and carry through on your threats of boycotts.

Start a facebook group, get air time on Hott 107.5 and preach. No point sitting on your a$$ bitching about white people all day. Just go out and do it.

What is the “system?”

I patronize black owned businesses all the time such as Brown & Co, BGA, Alberfeldy Nursery, my landlord is black, People’s Pharmacy, Phoenix Pharmacies, and so on and so forth.

If you think that white people refuse to shop in a store because it is black owned, then you are officially brainwashed. Congrats.

Force, sorry, lobby your OBA or PLP MP to ask questions in Parliament for full disclosure of Renee Webbe’s TOTAL Compensation, including but not limited to Consulting Fees and on that basis you can assess why we give her a failing grade. Actually now that you mention it and since the Premier mentioned “value for money and resetting the dial” Ms Webbe actually gets an F- -.(i.e minus 2) send her to resit her exams and re-read the value for money textbook.

Trust me when her TOTAL Compensation comes to light the other MPs will want much more than $168k and a Car.

Notice I keep stressing TOTAL Compensation (i.e. not just base salary, or base consulting fees, include business class travel expenses, allowances etc, etc, etc, etc and any income where Ms Webbe is benefical owner of any company with any separate consulting arrangements with the Government of Bermuda.

School Teacher

Uh Oh…..Hold on to your wallets. The above is just PLP Code for we’re going to screw you just a little more and in the end we’ll all prosper. This will go on until the country is bankrupt and all the PLP “leaders” join the ex-premier in Martha’s Vineyard.
