NO change. One does not need to sit down with them, if there was change it would be evident on a daily basis, but what I have seen does not reflect much of a change. It may be in their thoughts, but their actions reveal otherwise.

Can I call you LaVerne? Instead of addressing their issues, you are still dismissing them and taking a cheap shot. At least your consistent.

You will definately come away with renewed energies and belief in Bermuda. You will no longer be defending the PLP or spewing, the OBA is the UBP silliness. Go do it for you.

Ths is 2011. I guess you hanker for the past to validate your existence. Sad, sad sad. No person in the OBA or UBP wants white supremacy. Only neo nationalist loonies belive in extremist positions like that . There are a couple of extremists in the PLP, and we all know who they are and there appears to be one in you though. Check yourself in a mirror and then into MAWI, its hate like yours that holds us all back.

AT the reconvening the PLP stated their platform and its a good one so the OBA is trying to jump on the band wagon cause they can do no better with the UBP baggage they have inherited. Glad Burch is back cause it sure will be a silly season.

Are they still alive or just a wish by the OBA they are? All the OBA cabinet members are the same UBP members. many are still holding the same cabinet ministry. Only one change in the senate, and Craig, so there is no real difference.

I would have supported the PLP if it wasn’t for the likes of Col. Burch and Dr. Brown. These people were rude and caused turmoil in this society, and the public are now paying dearly for it.

Keep listening and you will hear the whispers of the UBP infused into the OBA, but your blinders won’t let you see the truth.

However, that Bermuda saw people like me living under the lopsided elitism of the UBP and I’m glad it’s been destroyed. Christ promised to destroy the temple and rebuild it in three days. Will you help? Or will you fight tooth and nail to get your old racist guard back in charge. I’ll bet if he put a white greek god or goddess statue on house of paliament grounds no one would complain. Down with white supremacy in the images which govern our society. You are suffering from loss of priviledge.

I want to know will the UBP or the OBA vote against any of the policies that they once or now indorsed, will they continue to play the no game regardless of its merits.

Really.

Your back to your old tactics since you were fired from the Senate.

Or is just another “We had to deceive you”.

Your a joke and a troll with an agenda to divide.

The OBA seems to want the credit for the ideas of the UBA but not the negative stigma associated with them. That can not work. Please OBA find out who you are and stand on your own merit. This “we are but we’re not” game you are playing will do nothing to help you and will prove to be your destruction.

Craig Cannonier: “We appreciate the Government appears to be considering or adopting many of our ideas, but we remain skeptical”.

I think Mr. Swan’s right on this one. We all know that the OBA’s ideas are really the UBP’s ideas.

As far as the Bermuda First initiative, it is not surprising that the PLP Government is using some of those ideas as the PLP always participated in the initiative, first, Premier Brown and now Premier Cox.
