    What a load! Cannot wait until this is over. You will kill this place. Maybe if you can get rid of uncle Tom’s and white people you will find Nirvana! Will will not be here, my professional services gone and my money. Bless You!

    • WhistleBlower says:

      BYE!!!

      • RFK JFK MLK says:

        Yep, enjoy your Banana Republic.

        • Hey says:

          Once again Advertising a politcal party on government property….Two faced dog and pony show PLP.

          This party, rally may have been an enteraining evening out, but we don’t need to be entertained for 2 hours once in a blue moon, we need a party that will work for us and be accoutable to us Bermudians everyday.

          This is not the party that will do that for us, as has been proven for the past 5 years…wharf not good enough (but cost too much), crime prevention not good enough (but apparently PLP weren’t aware of the escalating gang violence), School results not acceptable (school and education system costs more per child than private school, and minister pretends all is good.)…this list goes on and on.

          Let us get the OBA in and get this country working. the PLP can still hold their parties, so for the PLP nothing will change.

          • Like It Is says:

            People and their attitudes and the gang problem is not the P.L.P. Governments fault, its the fault of bad thinking on the people who are involved in that way of life, they have choices like everyone else, and they have avenues to leave their lifestyles but choose not to.

            Ok my car broke down thats governments fault, the world economy is in turmoil and its affecting every country, but its solely P.L.P governments fault. Yeah right, just like the advertisement of O.B.A. opposition propaganda on the round about coming into hamilton and all over the side of the roads and Johnny Barnes.

            People need to stop making silly excuses for things when in fact all of us need to step up and be accountable.

            Peace.

            • Hey says:

              That is what the people wanted the PLP to do, to stand up and be accountable!!!!!!!!!!! Now do you see the problem! Where are the PROMISED financials!

              ps Perinchief moved the gang related programs to Ministry of Youth, Families and Sports….Perinchief couldn’t get it going…so he has effectively passed the buck !

          • frank says:

            see your a==s on monday night when you are crying in your beer

    • Like It Is says:

      P.L.P. All THE WAY!

      • Nuff Respect says:

        All the way down!!!! Before you vote PLP please answer these questions. Please name one area in Bermuda that is better today than 13 years ago?

        Economy
        Tourism
        International Business
        Local Business
        Debt
        Crime
        Immigration
        Employment
        Education
        Cost of Living

        None of these areas are better today – NONE!!!! So why in the world would you want a repeat performance or this disaster! Unless of course you are related to a PLP minister or benefiting from the friends and family program!

        • Nuff Respect says:

          Forgot Transporation

          • Soooooo says:

            What transportation? 12 years ago I caught a ferry from town to somerset bridge, and is was on time 90% of he time….

          • Fed Up says:

            Busses broken down, ferries broken down and no money to fix them, please………………………..

        • Like It Is says:

          You sound angry?

          No I am not related to a Minister or anyone like that, I just know who has my best interest at hand.

          If you want those answers as I am not a M.P. maybe you need to ask your constituency M.P. for those answers and not hypen up unrealistic things, just take a look all around the world, and also look at things without being angry to the point you are attacking me.

          I dont even know you and I was just stating my preference.

          • Hey says:

            OK tell us exactly why they have your best interests at “hand” ?

            • Like It Is says:

              Its proven, but you would put a twist and spin on it in any.

              I am voting for the party I wish to, so what is your problem.

              vote for who you feel, Hey!

              Peace.

              • Hey says:

                You’re response was “Its proven”

                What is proven????

                Please read the Economic and jobs platform from the OBA and their other documentation, then go read the PLP documentation.

                Please be informed…it is your future you are rolling the dice on !!!!! Make sure you have a better reason than “Its proven”

                If the PLP had done a good job, then this election would be easy to know who to vote for, but they have failed us all time and time again…that is proven!

                • Like It Is says:

                  it is easy to know who to vote for.

                  PLP ALL THE WAY!

                  did you see it!

                  PROVEN!

        • frank says:

          more international business here than the ubp had ,prc,s given under the plp da

      • Luis Suarez says:

        9.50pm on a school night, and 500 yards from my house, some really loud african drumming has just woken my 8 year old twins up.

        Thanks PLP for your stupid, thoughtless rally, where the only people going would have voted for you anyway.

        I’m not one of them, because I vote for who deserves my vote, not because I am black.

        • haa says:

          Oh be quiet you old bag.

          • Morpheus says:

            Wow…Thats disrespectful! Tisk Tisk Tisk…desperate people say desperate things…. :[

        • WhistleBlower says:

          and you are probably not even born here! Scrooge!

          • Fed Up says:

            And all your relatives were?

          • theothersidebda says:

            And what is the relevance of that statement? The woman says she’s a voter…being born here is of little relevance. In fact remember this little inconvenient fact: Born Bermudian means this country had no choice to accept you as their own. Status Bermudians were chosen to be accepted…they were vetted, their characters assessed and GRANTED citizenship. I bet if some Born Bermudians had to go through the same process today, they would be DENIED!

        • status! says:

          @Luis Suarez—–????really, your offended by African drumming and not because you are black you are not one of them and vote only for who deserves your vote?- look in the mirror and tell me what do you see? you better get a clue about what it is to be black and be careful who you call stupid..Politics by its mere name suggest shrewdness in managing, contriving or dealing, sagacious in promoting a policy..this game was not the brainchild of any original PLP members or black people ,so for them to have even achieved the ruling Government is a checkmate! Especially considering that the Europeans have always made us fight for everything that we have gained to just be recognized as equal humans when really Black people are the original Man and the inventors of all things!!put in a European system and still standing strong! count your blessings because you are Black and it means more than you know!When you learn bout your true identity instead of the surrogate identity you have been given all of your life, I am sure you will change your tune quicly and start beatin those drums yourself with your eight year old twins who will probably come to terms with the true reality of their existence before you! Educate them don’t adjudicate others until you are sure of what you think you know!

          • James Tucker says:

            actually the Chinese are the “inventors of all things.”

          • 1minute says:

            He didn’t say he was offended by the drumming. He said it was loud and woke up his twins, who at 8 need their sleep for school in the morning

          • Morpheus says:

            You have hurt a lot of people….WE are all tired. Dec 17 will provide change.

            Luis Suarez I will be checking on you. I applaud you exercising your right to THINK!

          • Fed Up says:

            Why cannot there be an interlectual conversation without race always coming into it. You know it can’t be blamed for all wrongs.

        • Yes I says:

          She is an old hag. Dance to the rhythm then go back to your regular schedule.

        • Judge Dredd says:

          You are living in Bermuda and you don’t even know what Gombeys are? You just blew your cover and destroyed all your credibility foreigner! Now how about you crawl back into that hole and shut your little crustacean @$$ on up.

        • frank says:

          your right you just have a black face just a little note is was the plp who got the voteing age down to 18 and helped to eliminate that racist property vote,oh’ do you remember death tax yes we got rid of that also mmmm

    • status! says:

      @Snoopy——you call yourself Professional? And Money is the only thing you have that we may need but certainly not the attitude..If Black people would be empowered economically your so called professional services would not be required!!!So how useful are you really?

    • Judge Dredd says:

      Don’t let the cedar doors hit you on the @$$ on your way out snoopy.

  2. 32n64w says:

    Wait, I thought the PLP didn’t allow Government property to be used for political campaigning?

    Sorry – must have forgotten the PLP’s golden rule: Party Before Country.

    PLP – Betraying Bermudians by talking out of both sides of their mouth since 1998; one hypocritical self-serving event at a time.

    Bermudians deserve better. Vote for change. Vote OBA.

  3. Snoopy says:

    Vote for people who think like you! Not just look like you.

  4. SMH says:

    Seriously….is there any substance to these rallies? Stand on their record? Ice Cream? face painting? lets talk PATI, jobs, economy, debt, etc etc….aw forget it…where is the degraffs lunch wagon again?

  5. Snoopy says:

    The only good thing about this is that people are employed to produce this. So, they still have a job. OMG! What about after the 17th? I can ‘t wait 5 years for another gig! Ouch!

  6. Webster says:

    How pathetic is this rally !!!!!and these clowns are running this Island !!!! God help us .

    • Nuff Respect says:

      Tuned in late to the rally and all I saw was a clip from a Calypso Show, with some guy waving a towel and waving left and right????

  7. RFK JFK MLK says:

    Bamaica.

  8. Snoopy says:

    Wow have not the taxpayers kept Scotty alive for the past 5 years?

  9. Snoopy says:

    Dear Bernews,how many people are attending this rally?

    • Bernews says:

      The cameraman is hustling doing the video stream & photos at the same time so can’t count with any degree of solid accuracy, but we will get him to pan the video camera over the crowd a few times between speakers so you can have a look…

      • Snoopy says:

        Thanks. Appreciate your coverage!

      • Like It Is says:

        Hey Bernews,

        How many people veiwing online?

        How many people have their minds made up to vote P.L.P?

        Last thing,how many people have access to internet or even choose to blog or go to the rally that have their mind made up to vote P.L.P?

    • Webster says:

      bernews. show us the audiance ..

      • Bernews says:

        We did on video and there’s one pic….but we will pan the crowd again after Mr Smith finishes speaking…

        • Like It Is says:

          forgot about me in true bermudian attitude style Bernews;_)

      • RFK JFK MLK says:

        Except for the people at concessions line I’d say that one picture bernews put up gives you a good idea of the crowd

  10. RFK JFK MLK says:

    Horton WTF?!

    • Webster says:

      Check out Hortons past….he so full of it,

      • Rockfish#1 and#2 says:

        They need to check out Scott Simmons’s past also! He seems to be quite successful at keeping it under the radar.

  11. M.P.Mountbatten JP says:

    Wow there are as many white folk as black folk here !! I guess they ( white people)didn’t get the message from the UBP/OBA race baiters . Woo Hoo…

    • RFK JFK MLK says:

      Yep, that one white person in the front row looks thrilled.

      • Pastor Syl Hayward says:

        That one white person is Jonathon Smith, PLP candidate. I don’t see any other white faces, but then, this picture doesn’t cover the entire audience.

        • Webster says:

          Jonathon Smith is not a P.L.P. candidate he running as an a independent…..

          • Hmmmm says:

            Jonathan Starling is an Independent. Jonathan Smith is a PLP candidate

          • Who done it says:

            Jonathan starling is the independent, johnathan smith is PLP

          • Like It Is says:

            Webby Web, pay attention ok, he is a P.L.P candidate.

            come on now read.

          • RFK JFK MLK says:

            Incorrect:

            http://plp.bm/leadership/senators/smith

            Running as the PLP Candidate in #28 Warwick West against Jeff Sousa (OBA).

          • Webster says:

            Pastor you are right,I am so sorry I thought you were talking about Jonathon Starling… he is running as an independent ….Lord I need some help…..

        • Nuff Respect says:

          Johnathon Smith is the guy wearing the boots. Only one who came prepared to wade though all the BS

    • Barracuda says:

      I was there for the music

    • Balanced Facts says:

      Zane and his family, Jonathan Smith and his family and Markam…total 12 …about the same number…guess no one took the PLP bait! Boo Hoo!

    • navin johnson says:

      and listening to Zane he does not know what he is…accent more phony than…

  12. Snoopy says:

    I like Randy but thank God he is not my husband ouch!

  13. Paul says:

    I really wish they’d all go *%$& themselves. They’re a national disgrace and embarrassment.

  14. Snoopy says:

    I am feeling the the love! Why just now when you have had years?

  15. RawOnion says:

    yawnnnn…..time to go look at some porn.

  16. Webster says:

    Randy , why did you not go to the Carribean for all of your hip relacements operations ? was it because you knew you would better treatment in England ? you all are so full B,S,

  17. Snoopy says:

    Not her Goverment name?
    W T F ?

  18. Snoopy says:

    The music for Zane was perfect…..Thriller! No one knows who he might bite next ooohhh!

  19. Like It Is says:

    P.L.P ALL THE WAY, See you 17th of December!!!

    • Balanced Facts says:

      Caymans Premier said “all the way”…!

      • Like It Is says:

        This is Bermuda.

        If you now want to start a slander of the premeir try your best, in no way should you lower yourself to think like that, unless desperation has set in.

        you should be ashamed of yourself for even bringing that comment into this, it shows you are just a trouble maker, and do not have the best interest of your country in your mindset, unless you would not have made that comment!

        you are IGNORANT.

  20. Snoopy says:

    Zane? . .didnt have to save 800 jobs, really what choice did you really have?

  21. Pastor Syl Hayward says:

    Is that Zane talking about bailing out NTB? How about all those folk that lost all their life savings. I hear silence at the idea that 1200 jobs were saved at Tucker’s Point. There are that many people working there?

    Please, do not talk about education $250 million spent on Education when only 28% could pass the GCSE.

    Oh Lord, he is still talking about what happened before 1998.

  22. So Tired says:

    This is pure ignorance for the ignorant. God help us if this is the like for the next five years.

  23. Dee says:

    Face painting – what is this a children’s birthday party? Where’s the bouncy castle? The PLP are a complete embarassment to Bermuda, what the hell do others think when they see this.

  24. GOD 1st says:

    more entertainment

  25. truth says:

    This is an embarrassment……Sad day to say this is what politics has come to in Bermuda…

    Not b/c you on stage are PLP/UBP/OBA whatever…..But because you choose to pull something like this off. Politics is about PROFESSIONALISM. Being in charge of a country requires PROFESSIONALISM!…That being said…What are you THINKING! (to those of you who are actually watching will know exactly what im talking about)

    Put your shirt back on, Stop Dancing to Michael Jackson, and stop waving your cane and holding it like a gun!

    Disgrace…

  26. Terry says:

    Vote PLP.

  27. Webster says:

    Dale, take your meds…

  28. Nuff Respect says:

    Mr. Scott said he voted today??? Does this mean he won’t be here on election day? Or do the candidates get to vote in advance?

  29. Auntie Zuzu says:

    Thank you Bernews for the stream!

  30. sonso says:

    do you see Paula? she is up there yellin in the mic! desperate i guess?

    Coggy: “THIS Government, THIS Goverment, THIS Government”
    Kat Williams: “THIS s**t right Here, THIS s**t right Here, THIS s**t right Here

  32. Liars says:

    Holy Smokes the Premier of this country is pleading for her job!

  33. GOD 1st says:

    @ Luis Suarez PLP doesn’t respect young people in general. This little rally that was or is still going on with the beating of loud african drums goes to show me that they don’t have much respect for others besides those who are on the family,friends list. After all is said and done some people will remain the same others might change for better ,to be ohnest with you this kind of behaviour that the plp is displaying is not a surprise.

    • DND says:

      LOL @ “loud African drums” – those where BERMUDIAN Gombey drums.

      • M3ke says:

        LMAO

      • Like It Is says:

        Goes to show people will say anything and when they do, their true color comes shining through.

        If you want to vote OBA, do you.

        You dont have to bash people for choosing to vote PLP.

        You dont see PLP supporters bashing OBA supporters, it just goes to show they have a lack of confidence.

        When you are confident you are sure, and when you are sure, you have no need to badger, taunt, or ridicule.

        OBA supporters, please take the advice and use it, cause you all come across as edgy and quite childish.

        Go and make your vote, and lets see the outcome.

        PLP ALL THE WAY!!

        Peace!

        • Let me get this str8 says:

          “You dont see PLP supporters bashing OBA supporters”

          You obviously do not read the blogs or listen to the radio shows much.

          • Like It Is says:

            OOooo K.

            • Let me get this str8 says:

              So you don’t think the perpetual insinuation as whites who support the OBA as racists and referring to black OBA supporters as puppets, uncle toms or worse is not attacking OBA supporters/candidates/MPs et al?

              • Like It Is says:

                do you see ME doing it?

                NO.

                Anyone making anybody feel that way is wrong, just like its wrong to bring that to me.

                I am white!

                • LOL (original TM*) says:

                  So it’s easier to join them I guess in your case are you J. Smith or one of the hand full of whites that do support the PLP. IMO or perhaps this is how you try to absolve yourself from the hate hurled at white people by die hard supporters. You had one guy in this thread alone say essentially that whites have had no meaning full (in a positive way) contribution to the world how racist is that? That’s why I’ll never again vote for the PLP unless they have a major change or the OBA becomes completely unviable…

                  LOL

                  • Vote for Me says:

                    @ LOL (original)
                    Who would have thought teh UBP would become ‘completely unviable’ ater a single loss??

                    We will see what becomes of the OBA leadership after December 17 – Bermuda will be watching.

                  • Like It Is says:

                    YOU are disturbed Friend.

                    just like that one guy you mentioned in the thread,I truly feel sorry for you.

                    Peace.

  34. MJ says:

    That was way too funny. Better than anything on TV. Zane was a hoot.. Shame he did not stay in the “oven ” a lot longer to allow his brain to develop. Dumb and rich boy suckling on the teat of the PLP.

  35. Fooled Once... Not twice says:

    The reason the OBA haven’t had any rallies is because the island would then see that their main followers are the white community and they would look too much like the old UBP rallies. One thing….. You all have learned a lot from your mistakes. Good for you.

    • Barracuda says:

      get paid your dolla from the plp

    • swing voter says:

      the reason the OBA doesn’t have rallies is because they don’t need to appear to their base with idiotic theatrics….swing voters put the PLP in government in 1998, swing voters will put the OBA in government on Dec 17th because we love our country more that party politics

    • Blurt says:

      Not true, there have been no rallies like this, because the OBA are about working hard for Bermudians and NOT about partying for themselves, like the PLP.

      • SoMuchMore says:

        WELL SAID, I could not have said it any better!

      • Tolerate says:

        Good point… What exactly is there to party about with the state this country is in? Having parties while people are suffering and jobless? Well at least the PLP are kicking off their Christmas. Sad so many are looking at this Christmas through less festive eyes.
        Embarrassing!!!!

    • Balanced Facts says:

      Whose willing to be fooled four times?
      Maybe the plp should stop honoring themselves with a rally and answer for their appalling record? By the turnout looks like people aren’t buying a fourth fooling !

    • frank says:

      so true oba can’t talk to people in person just on tv

  36. Triangle Drifter says:

    The PLP are so lazy they have not even been by to drop a scrap of paper in the mailbox.

    The OBA has been by 3 times.

    Who do you suppose cares?

  37. Les B. Frank says:

    Total frickin embarassment … Especially Randy. Dayum!!!! ….. This Party is sooooooooo out of touch. Our country is a sinkin ship and our Government is dancing and partying.

  38. OBA... says:

    @bernews when will you get a “like” icon?

    P.S. 6 more days of this circus of a govt. thank you baby Jesus!

  39. Private Pyle says:

    Michael Scott says, “We are seeking re-election on a record that is superior.”

    RIGHT.

    But wait for it. Wait for it. We had to deceive you!

    • Yankee Boy says:

      I have been a fervent supporter of the a PLP Government . In my political alignment is basic ! Is Bermuda getting what we need or deserve in return from our Government ????

      Malcolm X stated ” ANY TIME YOU THROW YOUR WEIGHT BEHIND A POLITICAL PARTY THAT CAN’T KEEP PROMISES IT MADE TO YOU DURING ELECTION TIME AND YOU’RE DUMB ENOUGH TO CONTINUE TO IDENTIFY WITH THAT POLITICAL PARTY, YOUR NOT ONLY A CHUMP BUT TRAITOR TO YOUR OWN RACE”.

      In truth , the PLP is one of a good start but steady decline.

      Good Luck – Bermuda

    Didn’t the PLP stop the OBA from putting political ads on government property? Are the schools government property? What is the difference?

      @1minute,
      It’s called double standards, and is nothing new!

    Zane sounds like the two guys in the dopey car commercial……de debt. de mortgage…de clock….? more people on stage than in the audience…

  42. Ringmaster says:

    The Premier promised not to run a negative campaign. More lies and deceit. Still running the big white bogeyman line. Don’t go back to the 40 thieves. Don’t go back to the Front Street boys. Hello any one paying attention? Bermuda obtains 95% of its revenues from International Buisness. Does the PLP realize that the images of the Premier in a camo jacket with a bunch of MPs making fools of themselves will not encourage business from the Areab world, the USA, or anywhere else, let alone make the CEO’s of companies presently here want to expand, or stay.

    The problem is she is catering to her voter base who have no idea about the economy where the money comes from except the lies they are told and repeated. They just believe money grows on trees and is handed out by Government.

  43. Ayisha says:

    Our premier should be ashamed of herself for carrying on in this unprofessional way. Why is no one else mentioning the fact that the premier looks like a — in zimbabwe ready to overthrow the government.

    This is not only shameful, can you imagine what leaders of business and leaders of countries are going to think about this speech she gave last night?

    A total embarrasment!

    • Argosy says:

      Totally agree, well said. Very Mugabe like.

    • Ayisha says:

      I don’t recall the exact word I used when Bernews edited my sentence and put -in instead but I can assure you it was not racial nor should it have been edited

      • Bernews says:

        You may have been spelling incorrectly and meant “guerilla” [?] which has a different meaning from what you actually said. The other word will be seen by many as racial hence the editing.

  44. yep! says:

    PLP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ALLLLLLL THE WAY!!!!!!!!!!!! Had fun last night! PROUD YOUNG SUPPORTER!!! Standing Strong!!

  45. sure. says:

    GOOD JOB PLP!!!! You are the party for the people!!!

    • Joonya says:

      yeah but not the party for economic recovery and future growth.

    • LOL (original TM*) says:

      They throw parties for the people some people anyway…………………….

      LOL

  46. Joe says:

    Watching the video is like watching an accident about to happen, you don’t want to watch but you just cant take your eyes off it….horrific.

    Amateurish, embarrassing, no substance, and just rhetoric to the converted.

    Why isn’t the Premier out there canvassing, walking the streets, meeting the electorate? She has nothing to offer and no past record for any rational person to give her their hard earned vote.

    • Grubster says:

      Actually I could take my eyes off it. Was cringe worthy and embarrassing and just had to switch it off.

      Had no info from PLP in my mailbox, only from OBA

  47. Joonya says:

    I finally got a “plan” in my mailbox, and it was OBA’s pamphlet.
    It was informative and had great ideas which seemed positive, hopeful and promising to me. Sounded like something that would work, and help us out of this government’s mess. Right after that I went to check out Bernews, and all I got was a soca concert from the PLP..

    • frank says:

      well stop tell your oba to come out have a rally and meet their supporters maybe they could have it at that pink club by the water

  48. Bermyman says:

    The OBA offers you solutions to many of the problems we face.

    The PLP offers you music, food and festivities. Gombeys!

    One is good for a night and the other is good for a Governmental term.

    A vote for common sense or the circus?

  49. Terry says:

    Can’t wait for this show to be over so we can move forward and try and get out of this mess.

  50. Ayisha says:

    Better to have 40 thieves than 4,000 in my humble opinion.

  51. GOD 1st says:

    @ status you have an issue with color .Their is only but 1 race thehuman race keep in mind GOD created us all in his image and likeness.If you have a problem with color you must not love yourself.

  52. GOD 1st says:

    And who told you black people invented everything.

  53. SMH says:

    Fact.

    I have lived in the same house for over the last ten years.

    Not ONCE have I had a PLP candidate stop by, call email or reach out.

    Since the last election our OBA candidate has stopped by a number of times, called more times than I can count and has been available when I had questions.

    Now I understand why…..too busy partying around the world and in their own backyard.

    ” I can feel it coming in the air tonight………change!”

  54. Vote for Me says:

    The majority of posters are criticising the PLP rallies. If they are so bad, simply ignore them.

    I can assure you that the OBA will start having rallies within the next 2 elections once they realise the value of energising the voters. Many like to use the US as an example. Obama was well known for having huge rellies, especially during his first campaign. Note the Romney did the same.

    The examples of criticism show how out of touch some of the OBA supporters are. To learn some valuable lessons, you should attend the next rally at Berkeley on Saturday. Weather permitting the crowd will be exceptional.

    Note also that the optics of an OBA rally with a majority white support base will definitely not help the OBA’s election chances.

    • Let me get this str8 says:

      So its okay to have the optics of all black support, but disgusting if whites outnumbered their black counterparts for an OBA rally?

      So who really are the racists in thsi island?

      • Joonya says:

        the hypocrites

      • Like It Is says:

        Seems like you!, cause all you talk about is race.

        you seem intelligent, so onto the next topic CHEESH;-()

    • navin johnson says:

      The rallies are like the Darius Tucker secret plan press conference…..a slow motion train wreck…some things are so for out there you cannot take your eyes off them….as far as energizing anyone…they had a tough time getting an amen….anyone looking at this from the outside would think it was some obscures ritual with people like Zane desperately trying to be something….I find his behavior demeaning and in many ways sad that he tries the fake accent…pathetic….nothing of any substance comes from these events and you would never see the current opposition behaving like this….looks like a bad school play…..and what is with all the Jamaican accents?

  55. GOD 1st says:

    OVER 2K BUDDY

  56. Grubster says:

    After all the comments about Randy Horton, have just forced myself to watch some more of the video. Oh dear, he was like a drunken uncle at a wedding.

    Laughed though at the OBA pop up adverts that kept coming over video

  57. Victor says:

    Sorry but it is silly season:

    PLP – Premier Lacks Performance
    People Liking Penury
    Privelidge Loving Pals
    Pirates Looters Posers
    Please Lets Pretend
    Platitudes Lack Punch

    Feel free to add but above all Vote OBA if you want to have a future better than your past.

    • Terry says:

      Portugese Love Porno.
      Det buy ripping off his shirt.
      Man needs help.
      If the PLP get back in he’ll be hirering………………
      SDO anyone?

  58. Cross+roads says:

    Its hard to fathom just how childish this PLP Government can be with school boy/girl adds, let alone the stupid rallies with no focus on Bermuda at all. A bunch of non-performers non-performing !!

  59. cutback.. says:

    PLP SUPPORTERS YOU ALL ARE BLIND,DEAF,AND DUMB.. BERMUDA is in the S$@t cause of your plp government, .. dont let the cedar door hit ur asses on the way out. remember u wont have the GP cars so youll be walking, get used to poverty that you all have made…..

  60. Plan Sailing says:

    Good to see the organisation of the rally was carried out exactly how they run the country; very poorly and with blame being thrown around the entire time. Special mention also must go to the music and comedians (aka politicians); they sure keep people entertained at the expense of the Bermudian people and economy.

    Also love how they still took money off more Bermudians during the rally to keep them afloat.

    PLP shirt and hat; $5
    PLP in control of Bermuda; $1.5bn
    Watching the PLP gong show; PRICELESS

  61. kevin says:

    Are Desilva and Smith the plp white surragates one would have thought that if the plp were representative of our population they would have 36% of their candidates white. oh S##t forgot don’t have that many to choice from …whats funny is that the plp claim that oba is the ubp well not sure if thats a bad thing since their and our success or should i say prior success was due to their management. The plp is still the same group who have plundered hundreds of millions and still want to be elected….. go figure….

  62. SMH says:

    So Zane had the Freudian slip with “people who look like us” and then says .. ” I just came out of the oven a little early’? wow ! Forget the pot and the kettle…

  63. yep! says:

    PLP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We supporters are done arguing against blanket statements and ignorant vile!!! So we now ignore you, and stand stronger!! PLP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  64. One says:

    It was truly sad to see the Paula Cox and other candidates standing there with raised fists in the ‘black power’ manner.
    The leaders of international business see this, what must they think? It is truly irresponsible of our leders to act in such a manner. Shame on Vince Ingham for maligning the people who bring wealth and jobs to Bermuda, you know better. Shame on the participants of the ‘Town Hall Meeting’ for lowering themselves to such a level in an attempt to whip up emotional support when in reality Bermuda needs cool heads to decide our future.
