Today I saw an elderly lady walking, I pulled over and asked if she wanted a lift, she accepted. Whether or not she felt uncomfortable sitting next to a younger male, she arrived home safely and not completely exhausted, smiled and said thank you, I said not a problem. Only now typing this do i realize she was black, I didnt care what she looked like when she got in my car. We all deserve to be treated as equals. IMO racial divisiveness should be eradicated from this world BY ANY MEANS NECESSARY, lucky I dont run the world, I can think of multiple unorthodox methods to do so.

I too voted for the PLP before the Dr Brown era and will not do so right now. Maybe sometime in the future. I actually like Paula Cox bu Im fearful that she won’t be there much longer. Vance Campbell is another man of good character and of course and of course there are others. However, with so many of the original Kings of Destruction hanging around – I can’t take a chance again.

my african co-workers, from Zimbabwe and Kenya, also stated the same thing to me a few days back. never have they experienced a such a racist election campaign. they found the puppet ad to be highly disrespectful.

just because in BDA some are taught that such nastiness is justified and moral, doesn’t make it so.

the people that you guys attack, label and denigrate are fellow Bermudians who only want the best for our island.

Hang on a minute – BERMUDA IS WAY MORE RACIST THAN AMERICA! Let’s just get that out there right now. I lived in rural Alabama in the early 70′s and even back then the racism didn’t compare to what is happening in Bermuda now! This is the most vile, racist place on the planet. Do not even compare us to America. We are disgusting. Our “leaders” breed racism and thrive on it. So sad. We don’t have to be this way but our leaders choose to keep it alive. Sad.

The Perpetual Lying Party lies again.

As for the rest no point in trying to reason with an irrational person.

But I will say that 28% of our students only achieved a c or higher in internationally recognised examinations (GCSE). BSC doesn’t mean sh*t in the real academic world. And yet the PLP trumpets such results as evidence of a “thriving” edcuation systm. Like I said nothing but the Perpetual Lying Party at work.

Maybe you should just be a little receptive to other’s points of views.

But I know that is a stretch.

Hilarious reading. A long fluffy list of things accomplished in the first 100 days of power. Most of them, 14 years later, NOT done.

A couple of quick stand outs. Fair & equal tenders for Government contracts & supplies. A Tourism Board comprising of more members who are in the trade.

If you have this document buried in your files, dig it out & have a read BEFORE going to vote.

It really illustrates how little the PLP actually have accomplished in 14 years besides lavish money on themselves.

Tourism: Previous administrations Tourism numbers were higher. We had one of the highest repeat customer numbers. You can’t make them come – but your advertising should make them want to come! It hasn’t – therefore they failed. Don’t blame BEST – Best hasnt STOPPED anything. Club Med, Rosewood, Elbow Beach, Sonesta, Par-la-Ville Park Hotel, Souktshore Hotel was traded a suitable location. Therefore they failed.

Unaccounted For Money: Last Auditor General was arrested without mrit for asking questions. Would you ask? By the way, they have asked the question – look it up! Where is the answer? There isn’t one.

Crime: your answer is pathetic! Caught us by surprise?? TWO of your high ranking members were former police Commissioners? Are you saying they were not effective! LOL.

Faith Based Tourism: I don’t think anyone is condemning the idea itself. It could work and has worked elsewhere. The problem is HOW it was handled and that funds were not recovered.

Over Spending: They overspent spent because they had to? $60 million extra to ProActive was where it started and we have been told to look the oter way ever since!

Unneccessary Spending: Did Dr. Brown need to always travel with a group of people! No – then that is overspending! Simple Really.

Cruise Ships: They forgot to sign a contract meaning we have 12 few cruise ships coming now then previously scheduled. They were coming – but because of thescrew up , they have gone elsewhere. If that minister was in charge of a business they would have been fired.

BIU Ststement: The government does not get to decide who they want to protect. The LAW says they have to file statements and they didn’t for 10 years. I’m not a BIU member but I was at one point in my life.

Unemployment: You say it is not the governments job to create jobs, but earlier you said they overspent to stimulte te economy – if it wasn’t to create jobs, then what do you mean stimulte? By the way are you refering to the Tynes Bay incinerator tha the PLP oppossed and was built by the UBP?

Crime

Your ignorance will be the destruction of this island. Not only should the PLP not be returned to power quite a few of the should be arrested. The day will come that they will no longer be able to cover up their wrongdoings. There are good honest people doing investigative work right now. It will be a long process because of the sensitivities surrounding the corruption coming from this countries highest office but rest assured it will come out.

The only unfortunate thing is that we’ll have to wait until after the election.

I pray for your soul, as you deserve better than what those you support have given you (though you’re probably a paid troll, in which case you’re part of the problem).

They have BS’d Bermudians about a “bright future”, including many more tourist arrivals, new business ventures, new hotels etc, etc!! It is ALL *Smoke and Mirrors* – while in the meantime they have spent ALL the money and the Island is in a GIANT mess with debt totaling over $$1.6+ BILLION, with NO end in sight!!

Finally – don’t forget ALL the unemployed and underemployed Bermudians (About 8,000 -10,000) + all the businesses that have closed their doors!! This c*ap cannot go on indefinitely as the Island is becoming like a “Banana Republic” or a 3rd world dictatorship!!

If for some ridiculous reason the voting electorate can’t see this for themselves and the PLP are reelected – then you can expect a lot of IB companies to look for “greener pastures” and a lot of white business people and their $$$ will also leave + there will be NO more Investment $$$ for new hotels or up-grading the old ones!!

Bermuda will literally become a 3rd world country with much “civil disobedience” – more gang related murders and armed robberies etc – and NOT many tourists!!!

DO YOU ALL GET THE PICTURE – BECAUSE THIS WILL BE YOUR FUTURE IF YOU DON’T VOTE THE PLP OUT-OF-POWER… BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE!!!

GOOD LUCK BERMUDA FROM AN *OLD BERMUDIAN* WHO LEFT THE ISLAND 20 YEARS AGO – AND HAS BEEN WATCHING ALL THIS NONSENSE SINCE THE PLP WERE ELECTED BACK IN ’98!!!

VOTE THE **OBA** INTO POWER AND GIVE THEM A CHANCE TO SEE WHAT THEY CAN DO FOR BERMUDA AND BERMUDIANS!!! WHAT HAVE YOU GOT TO LOSE???

For example. The Auditor General is not ‘managed by the Governor’. You can’t blame the Governor for the missing money. That idea is bizarre. The problem is that Auditor General’s powers of investigation are limited by law, deliberately, by the government.

Are you retarded? You call trying to fool the populace by following a less than secret plan to split up, add a few new faces then rejoin clean? Oh right I forgot, PLP supporters are un-educated buffoons, we’ll fall for it! RIGHT!!! You really think we needed to read that secret document to realize what was going on? We’ll see you as the XYZ party in 2016 I guess, that’s if you don’t run out of letters in the alphabet before then.

Can someone tell me how I can find someone to pay me because I have been out of work for a few months now and I wouldn’t mind a job again. Funds are getting low.

So are we to assume that all the people I hear talking on talk shows, day after day, after day, after day talking the same old garbage are paid too? Are the PLP supporters that post regularly and pationately paid? They must be?

Just out of curiosity ,this blog took less than three minutes to post, so exactly how much can I get paid? LOL

By the way – if thoose out there would just answer the questions about what the PLP has done that would be considered an improvement over the last 13 years – I could stop asking the quesions and I would be quiet.

Education – I believe that the government tried several things to try and rectify the educational system that was left by the previous administration. They implemented the Cambridge Curriculum etc. my daughter is now encouraged to take her O levels and A levels in middle school as aposed to taking it in senior school so that she can be more advanced than her peers from other jurisdictions.

Tourism – you can’t make people come to Bermuda, you can only invite them. To be fair there isn’t much for tourists to do when they get here. We don’t have enough beds to accommodate the amount of tourists that you critics desire. Everytime there is talk of a hotel development, we have BEST and all the crazy save the trees people want to talk bad about the developers and government and expect the investors to still part with their investment dollars after being treated like crap.

Unaccounted money – as far as I understand there is an Auditor General who is managed by the Govenror and not the elected government. If there were any impropriety she has the powers to expose and initiate court proceedings. So unless you are calling that person and the governor incompetent then you have no meat in that issue. By the way I’m asked “where did I get my money” when I’m trying to deposit a couple of thousand dollars in the bank so don’t you think red flags would be raised if there were millions of dollars being transferred about? I’m just saying.

Crime – if you’re referring to the gang problem, I think that the level some of these gangs are operating in took us all by surprise and no one person or organization has the answer to solve it. I think that the whole country has to come together to stop it. We have to make a legitimate living look and be more attractive than the gang life. Believe it or not gangs have been around long before the PLP.

Faith Based Tourism – I always thought this was a bad idea and to have Andre Curtis manage it was even a worse idea but in terms of “getting the money back”, I believe their hands were tied once Andre was acquitted of the crime. The acquittal pretty much said he did nothing wrong so they couldn’t go after his personal wealth without a conviction.

Spending – I believe government spent because the private sector wasn’t and did it to stimulate the economy. Remember government is the largest employer on the island and hasn’t laid off one person during this economic storm. Hardly any large company can boast that fact.

Unnecessary Travel – who are you and I to decide what is necessary or not. So I can’t comment on that at all.

Cruise ships – are we that arrogant as Bermudians to think that a cruise line has to build and maintain smaller cruise ships just so they can accommodate our Town and St George’s cuts. These cruise lines have adopted the bigger is better business model if we can’t accommodate them docking then they will go elsewhere. And even if they did come they are bound by our out dated laws wherein the cant open their casinos while in dock. I know the church’s and residents have their issues with gaming but the locals aren’t allowed on-board either way so until the laws change to benefit them they won’t come. And just imagine if the pier in Dockyard were never built, do you know how many ships would be tendering next year? ……… 0

BIU statements – are you a member of the BIU? If not, wth does it have to do with you. Those issues should be sorted between the members and the BIU who they subscribe to. We bermudians “want to know” sometimes surpasses our “need to know”

Unemployment – News Flash!!! It’s not the Governements job to create jobs! That is a myth. It’s the private sectors responsibility. All the governments has to do is build and maintain a sustainable infrastructure where businesses can operate with relative ease. They are the biggest employer as I mentioned earlier but that is mostly to do with sustaining the infrastructure. You did contradict yourself because to their credit they did implement those work skill initiatives and several others. The Power Engineers which will operate the Tynes Bay power production once that comes online. My understanding is that the levels some have attained are some of the highest in their field. Anything higher than a level 2 engineer can run a nuclear plant. Now that’s saying something for my onions.

Listen it sounds to me that you’re singing the same tune as many others have no real argument to support your opinion. It’s sorta like a horrible song you hear on the radio and at first you hate it but as you hear it so much you start to sing a long when you hear it…. I’ve poured cold water over all the issues you have raised. I want to end by saying that we can debate opinions, but we can’t debate the facts. Look up everything I have written and you will see that it is all documented.

13 PLP Strong holds (5, 14, 15, 16, 18, 21, 26, 29, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36)

05 OBA Strong holds (8, 12, 20, 22, 23)

18 Marginals. PLP need 6 (3, 10, 13, 17, 24, 25) – I feel they have also.

Lets see how it all pans out.

It literally is “Everything You Need To Know”!

Let me make it easier for you. THE DIDN’T GOVERN!
