I respectfully disagree with the above negative comments about Marc Bean and Zane DeSilva, not because I think for a moment that they would have done a better job than Premier Cannonier, but because we have to stop knocking other people down in order to raise someone else up.

I commented on the excellent performance of Craig Cannonier during his BBC interview because I had heard so much negativity about him being a puppet and not being able to speak for himself without a script – all of which emanated from the usual PLP political hacks such as “Let’s keep it real”. Premier Cannonier proved them to be so ridiculously and foolishly wrong because he spoke so clearly and forcefully during a difficult interview with a very aggressive interviewer. He presented our side of the argument as a true Premier should.

There is no need to denigrate members of the PLP in order to boost the image of Premier Cannonier. That is as small minded as the hacks who constantly attack him. I reserve the right to disagree with some things the Premier might say and some things the OBA might do, but on this occasion Craig Cannonier gets an “A Plus” for a masterful performance during an interview heard around the globe.

Imagine for a minute if it had been the leader of the opposition. Complete embarrassment for Bermuda.

You do realize lkir that what you’re implying is that blacks are racist because they wont vote for either a political party headed by a white man or just a white person period.
Doesn’t this go contrary to what blacks are saying all the time that it’s whites who are racist and have a problem when in fact they’ve been voting for blacks since the first 2 party election ?

I would love to see Zane DeSilva get elected as Premier and then see what all you PLP people really think of “White people! ” You wouldn’t know what to say or do!!!!

Imagine for a moment that it was Marc Bean being interviewed….watching and listening to him speak is an embarrassment ….he seems lost while Craig Cannonier has grown into the I role as the leader……

Hahaha….. and you got 4 “Like” for that ramble. Firstly I’m not an OBA defender so before you go there…. don’t. The message was OUR (I’m only guessing your Bermudian) Premier spoke on our behalf to a half-witted @$$$hole who should be asking questions of his own Government, but is too cowardly so instead seeked out a visitor to interrogate; and was appropriately handled.
F*** even a PLP support should be proud that he stood up for US (as in ALL Bermuda). You just don’t get it do you? Remember the Cayman Leader who spoke down to Premier Cox? ALL Bermuda was on his s***!!!! There’s a time when you have to “Unite”; however people like you are only interested in a Bermuda that exist in your twisted mind; no matter what damage is done in getting it.
I’m figuring you’re not even a PLP follower, because fanatics like you (if indeed you are) are the ones that make it harder on your own party.
Keep It Real????? What a joke…. And since your trolling was to incite a reaction to your “kiss my azzzz” comment; you can do just that.

Even if what you’re saying is true, your whole outrage is “How dare the OBA do something that wins them an election?”

But what you’re saying is not true, so the point is moot.

“Afraid to put a white man in as leader”

that realy speaks to how in the PLP’s words how the voters here think about white people and they say white people are the racists?

Good work Craig….now the question is, do the PLP die-hards still refer to him as a surrogate or a puppet? I say you better look inside your own ‘fortress’ of confusion

Stop drinking that red kool aid ace boy. Lets keep it real why Craig was placed as leader.

Craig was chosen as the leader because the real UBP/oba was afraid to place a white man as leader. The top brass in the ubp/oba (whites boys) know they would have lost the election.

It has always been that way and maybe the next election peoples mind sets will change. For now stop BSING the voters or take the chance and place a white man as leader. Hey and I’m not saying it’s right but they all know why he’s just a sock puppet for the real people in charge.

If the OBA decide to place a white man as leader and win I like many will STFU!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I watched it on BBC TV.That interviewer was nothing short of “in your face” hostile.

Cannonier seemed stunned at first, but quickly recovered and handled him firmly, but politely.

I agree. I was very happy to hear him being forceful in defence of Bermuda. Mind you, the guy from “War on Want” was a right a$$.

Look in your own backyard before slamming us.

I happened to turn on BBC Radio this afternoon and heard someone being interviewed, or should I say interrogated by a rather aggressive interviewer about Bermuda being a tax haven. I didn’t quite catch the voice at first or the name of the person being interviewed, but I was impressed by the forceful and direct way he was answering the questions put to him.

I was just thinking that Bermuda has someone who is speaking clearly and forcefully on our behalf when I suddenly realized that it sounded like our Premier Craig Cannonier. Quite frankly, I was stunned. After hearing so much from the PLP bloggers about what a poor speaker he is, and how he only ever sings the tune of those in “real power”, this was a real revelation.

Today, on BBC radio, being broadcast to the world, Craing Cannonier proved why he was chosen as the Premier of Bermuda. Never again will I believe all the mindless, petty rhetoric about him not being the real leader of the OBA Government. Craig Cannonier was a credit to Bermuda plain and simple.
