You’re fighting a party that isn’t yours simply because they aren’t your party.

So now we are fighting to get jobs that were promised, some of us are fighting in order not to lose our jobs that are being outsourced daily by this Government, we are fighting so our sons, brother, nephews will not have to suffer the loss of their freedom or suffer abuse(allegedly) at the hands of some perverted officers in the regiment. This is our struggle, this is Bermudians’ struggle, where have you been?
@Mazumbo … exactly, Bermudians don’t have enough passion or stamina to fight for a just cause.

I was somewhat taken aback by seeing such a small turnout of avid supporters of the late Nelson Mandela :-(
