People’s Campaign Public Evaluation For July
The People’s Campaign for Equality, Jobs & Justice has released their latest public evaluation for the month of July, which they said serves to allow the People’s Campaign to “evaluate the effectiveness of those who sit in the House of Parliament are in addressing the issues raised by the people.”
The People’s Campaign called for regulations regarding campaign financing, joined the call for respectful public dialogue, and also requested a public apology from OBA MP Susan Jackson for what they said was “her misrepresentation of the facts” surrounding the “mental illness” sign carried at the recent march.
“Our position on this is clear; we publicly denounce any kind of racism or discrimination. The placard was not condoned or authorized by the People’s Campaign,” said the statement.
The People’s Campaign also noted that they will be holding a series of community meetings which will address various issues including PRC status.
The Meetings to be held as follows, all begin at 6.30pm:
- Tuesday, August 19 – Allen Temple A.M.E. Church Hall
- Wednesday, August 20 – Whitney Institute Middle School
- Thursday, August 21 – St. Paul’s Centennial Hall
The full July Public Evaluation follow below [PDF here]
This is all very one sided…
WHERE IS YOUR ATTACK ON THE PLP for:
1) Ganja tea
2) Trying to shift blame on Grand Atlantic
3) Not turning up for work in the house
4) PLP contradicting belief in not move the family, broker a deal for family (re Grand Atlantic)
Your campaign:
6) AME church leader listing off their achievements (false idol)
7) The march banner may not have been approved, but did you ban the person from marching? Where is your accountibility. They were not at the march for the right reasons.
8) Huge % increase in Union Dues, taking from the people
Get your own house in order please.
The population of Bermuda is slowly seeing you for what you are as you reveal yourself each day.
Ah Dreamer ,de P.L.P were already under de micro-scope by Scotland Yard, Now its ya turn ,so suck it up and deal with it.
LMFAO
and we all see you for what you are!
Thank you PLP person for showing that you don’t care what anyone not in your inner circle thinks. Revealing your true selves one comment at a time.
the not de
Does it really cost over $700 per year to be a member of the BIU?
the biu have upped their charges,someone has to pay for the suits and flashy cars!
Yup, but even more surprising is the fact that when they do strike and don’t get paid by their employer, they are supposed to be assisted. Ask a BIU member how much they got paid by the BIU the last time they striked?
Chris Furbert gets his plump salary when he calls a strike, you bet your boots!
How about the last 5 times they have striked??
Yes. $14.00 x 52 weeks = $728.00
Things I can do with $728.00:
1. Save it for my retirement.
2. Pay my electricity bill for at least 4 months.
3. Buy school uniforms and school supplies.
4. Buy shares in local companies.
5. Make a balloon payment on my mortgage.
6. Buy a new fridge or washer/dryer.
7. License and insure my car.
8. Pay my doctors and dentists the portion medical insurance does not cover.
You get the general idea.
@ Ms. Poli Tician, its a good concept but most Union members are not duped by your “itemized” chart, we know very well that our dues is working for us , that’s why O.B,A./ubp has the mentality of Reaganism and Thatcherism.
Your ideology is the same deceitful Propaganda that duped voters for not voting and now they’re kicking themselves in de @$$ !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
They are much of a FOOL as you are.
And because of the Union (if your are aware of it’s History, those things you mentioned are attainable by our for fathers who fought for better WAGES and BENEFITS so we can live comfortable and secure.
So you might convince a few SURROGATES with your SHALLOW PROPOGANDA but most of us know de deal.
Sorry Charlie.
LMFAO
A few other things I can do with $728.00
9. Pay for grammar lessons.
10. Install spell-check and grammar-check on my PC.
11. Buy a few college credits, particularly in economics.
Yes, your (notice the spelling) Union is really good. It has convinced you that it is a badge of honour to be financially worse off. I do not think this is what your forefathers had in mind when they founded the Union. And if I recall, your founding forefathers walked to work with the rest of us. They did not drive by us in their SUV’s after a nice breakfast in their mansion. See the history?
But thank you for reading my list. Now I know you’re (notice the spelling) paying attention.
@ PRC if it does cost that to be a member of the BIU, its worth it compared to workers who are not Unionized whose benefits are not worth a S— compared to Unionized workers whose benefits are the envy of the Western Hemisphere !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And most Union members DO NOT have a problem with it, other then a few SURROGATES who want to sow seeds of discourse.
Kinda sounds familiar, like grass roots funding!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
LMFAO
And the majority of Bermuda as QUICKLY seen the OBA for what it is and who they represent.
*has QUICKLY
They represent all Bermudians and that includes you Ian.
“The People’s Campaign will seek to assess the Government and the Opposition” – note “and the Opposition” and yet not a single mention of concern about the Opposition thereafter such as those mentioned by hmmm above or any other concerns.
Peoples campaign is a sham.
Operation Pressure Cooker.
Part 8- Section 1. (a).
Shalom.
Nothing has changed, this is still the PLP.
Two years ago this lot presided over the worst economic and social mess in Bermudian history.
No wonder they have a mask on.
So were United States, Portugal, Greece, Mexico, Venezuela, Iceland, Ireland, Spain, United Kingdom, Denmark, Germany, Italy, Egypt, South Africa, Japan, Australia and New Zealand, um its called GLOBAL RECESSION, and your point is…………………………….
Oh I guess they were de blame for that too…
LMFAO
whatever the plp/biu/people’s campaign for ignorance are giving you,they are not getting their money’s worth,you are the 3rd worst fool on the internet!
Oooo… name calling. Theres a shocker.
Overspending an economy already in full economic employment caused Bermuda mess. That was the PLP. When we needed resources, for when times get tougher they were all gone and we were committed to paying out more than we had. All PLP.
Economics of a pre school student….
Typical PLP, blame someone else.
Pathetic.
For once I agree with you Hmmm. What you have described ARE truly the economics of a pre school student! Good on you mate
And as used by the Last government.
Ian, how do you think fiscal and monetary policy should be used to help Bermuda. Do you think that foreign investment putting dollars in Bermuda is good of bad for Bermuda.? Do you think Bermuda needs foreign investment?
You are trying to get a seat in the PLP as whatever they do is right. I want to know your economic prowess….you have already backed PCox. Not a good start.
You conveniently left out a few countries, why? Maybe because those countries like Canada for example were not equally affected. They did very well as did many others. Portugal, Italy, Greece and Spain also nicknamed the P.I.G.S had governments that did what the PLP did, spend and waste everything , then borrow more with the hope that the income will always be there.
The recession may have affected many countries around the globe, but those with smart and responsible governments did okay.
Bermuda was doing just fine, but the PLP refused to take Bob Richards advice!
Funny how you leave out the US and UK… You know.. the two power houses we just happen to be most closely tied to economically… Uh duuuuhhh
That would be because both those countries where included in the post he replied to…
Yes Boiling I agree with you. There are some PIGS alright all over the world, and Bermuda was right there with them. I am so tired of people thinking that the PLP was blameless in this financial mess. They were told over and over and over again to stop wasting our money by the people and also by the then opposition, but did they listen, heck no. Now when we most need it, it’s gone. So Kunta, just why do you continue to question the truth? Read and open your eyes, they, the PLP, bankrupted us.
But how well were we prepared to handle it? Due to taking advice for years from ill advised advisors, Bermuda suffered much worse than it could have been. The expression, saving for a rainy day comes to mind. Even just a tiny bit would have been something but no sadly Bermuda was caught with it’s pants all the way down. That is the real issue. And now we are all paying dearly for it, with no room to manoeuvre. Very sad.
Denying the potential effects of the Global Recession on Bermuda was another big mistake by the PLP, as nothing was done to mitigate the effects on Bermuda for the first 3 years and the spending carried on unabated. The worst combination in Bermuda’s history, a massive recession coupled with an overspending Premier and a weak Finance Minister that couldn’t say NO.
An amazing talent I must admit… How could you possible know whether we suffered more than we could have? Individuals and businesses where borrowing just has crazily as government. And banks (the supposed experts) were lending it – 100% financing to kids to buy condos and all. So why is you OBA blame-gamers direct NO fault toward the real culprits behind the mess many are in, namely banks and large financial institutions. You live in an information age and have NO excuse for not knowing these things.
You are correct… as a result of the global recession all of the above mentioned countries had negative GDP % growth rates from 2008 through 2009/2010. The difference is that Bermuda is still in a continuous state of decline whereas the others are showing upwards trends for the most part. Unless i’m mistaken, this puts Bermuda in a state of economic depression (2 or more years of economic recession) not just simply a recession.
What OP is getting at is the fact that the former government didn’t appropriately adapt to the global recession. There are numerous examples of this, but for the most part it came down to their inability to balance the budget and continuously living outside their means. As a result we are now feeling (and will continue to feel) the burden of the previous financial mismanagement of our country. So to sum it up, yes… they were to blame for that too.
Feel free to check out some of the data at worldbank.org if you want a clearer picture of our economic situation compared to the rest of the world.
So perhaps, in anticipation of the recession, they should have slashed civil service in half so that we would have even more folks not contributing to the economy going into the downturn and at this time.
If you guys were as good at seeing things for what they are as you are blaming blaming blaming, perhaps we would have a chance at getting out of this. Do you thing the current government is doing a bang up job turning things around with the “empower non-Bermudians first/foremost and watch it trickle down” strategy?
Interesting you should bring up the CS under the PLP, in ’98 they were highly critical of the CS size and promised reform that would reduce it and make it more efficient. 14 years later, it had ballooned into a lumbering dinosaur who’s sole purpose seemed to be to artificially deflate the unemployment numbers.
In order for us to get ahead in our country, first and foremost requires a solid education, your beloved PLP destroyed that opportunity for a generation when they neglected our education system for over a decade, allowing to reach a meltdown. And while it is critical for government to provide a solid education system, it is equally critical for there to be a solid support for our children’s education at home. It saddens me when I hear from someone that their parent actually tells them that an education isn’t that critical, that ultimately it won’t help them, and I have heard this far to often. An education is critical to helping one develop the skills for making informed decisions. But ultimately, in order for Bermudian to command themselves in our country, a strong professional nest is required, and critical to that mindset is the elimination that we are entitled to our country, we are not. Our forefathers worked for it, we need to work for it and our children will have to work for it. Remember, the PLP promised they would build a Bermuda for Bermudians, said they would fight for what we are entitled too, and look what that got us. While the PLP were not responsible for the global recession, they are responsible for their failure to develop a economic policy to it, policies that could have helped stem the loss of jobs. Instead, they stood there like a toad in headlights (deer in headlights isn’t the best analogy for us)
They are doing a pretty good job so far. It isn’t perfect but we are seeing shoots of recovery.
We currently have frictional unemployment, which takes a little time to reduce.
Shoots of recovery with retail performance down, debt levels way up, tourism unmoved, companies still leaning operations through local/expat redundancies despite the OBAs overzealous approach to “change” on the immigration front? But when Paula speaks of shoots of recovery its all hogwash. Time to wake up and recognize the forces driving hardships here are MUCH larger they our extremely small time local politics.
There are hundreds of jobs on the jobs site…over 1000 that have been generated and advertised. I’ve seen 10 hires in my job in the last year. Retail will struggle if we don’t increase number of people on island.
Defending Cox…you are a comedian !! Are you related to her?
There you go with that PLP myth again, you kunta. How much are they paying you?
Dude u r so dumb. Pls stop talking. The hilarity in all of this is that u actually think the party u obviously voted for is out to help u. Lmfao!!! Go on mate keep gettin stepped on by your own. Dumb as rocks
The other countries you listed were for the most part out of recession in 12 months. We have been in recession for six solid years. That is entirely our own financial mismanagement, the fault entirely of the PLP, who was is charge at the time and got us into this mess.
Our economy was ruined by stupid deflationary mistakes made by the people in charge. Cox putting up Payroll Tax (and then having to reduce it, but the damage was done). Burch and his racist Term Limits. Brown and his stupid “Sven” speeches.
Its funny how they dont get that even as the same companies they have bent over backward for continue laying of tons of locals and expats to improve margins.
*laying off
Nobody is bending over backwards. Some businesses have had a tax break, meaning that don’t pay tax. On certain things for a period to encourage injecting millions of dollars into our economy. Which they have done and are doing. They could have put that money elsewhere in the world. Kudos to us for getting it.
Not sure I know what you are referring to exactly…
The correct thing to say would have been, “the People Campaign do not condone the racist sign openly displayed at the march and we apologize for pretending not to see it”. We further acknowledge that we should have asked the individual to remove herself from the march, and we should have called for her employer to punish and fire her, the same way Ms. McPhee was for doing far less.
However, we all know when you speak of Equality for all, you don’t really man everybody.
The point Ms Jackson made was this.
The woman holding the racist sign was sitting in the park with it for all to see. She then was photographed up de hill with it in the early minutes of the march.
Then again all the way to the destination and yet nobody had the decency to ask her to not display it, nobody!
Oh the hypocrisy! Can you imagine if that had been the other way round?
White children and black children do not need to see adults stooping this low and this ignorant.
The reason people are calling this sign racist is because it speaks to the truth. But in the context of the march it may have been a bit too deep for most.
If by “too deep” you mean “deeply inflammatory and provocative” then you’re onto something.
So you would be fine with a white guy w/ a sign that says black mental illness is killing Bermuda.
LOL Same logic and true but it might be to deep.
Personally I think the sign should have been black/white mental illness.
Yet the OBA can endorse a path to status for PRCs shrouded in deceit/exploitation/agenda,snatch the voices away from Bermudians on gaming reforendum, lie about work permit suspensions, change law to legitimize the cancelling of a WaterFront lease (while offering taxes concessions and financing endoresment to others) and the list goes on and on… And it will continue, including the absence of apologies.
This is why the sentiments of folks like you regarding cause noble causes (like Peoples Campaign) have no merit. You people thrive under a toxic philosophy of denial deflection and deceit.
The PRC folks have a right under the law and constitution. The OBA did not create either.
Marc Bean said bring it in March 2013 re: gaming bill.( it is clearly recorded in the hansard). Following four months of collecting and with plenty of media exposure, the referendum petition was a fail in numbers. The people want Bermuda to move forward.
Waterfront lease was surrounded by alleged improper protocol and procedure.
Peoples campaign isn’t noble. It is contrived.
No… the OBA just chose to exploit a sleeping provision after their campaign promise of not granting status to PRCs.
Thats rich… The OBA now follows the marching orders of Marc Bean???
“Alleged” improper protocal and procedure. Thats still the official defense. lol
More like The PLP’s Campaign. Somehow it always turn into a PLP rally
This isn’t the way to going about things…You lot state “Peoples Campaign” don’t condone the behavior of “certain people” like the woman carrying “the sign”. So, do you mean to tell us that none of you saw the sign and couldn’t take it upon yourself to ask / tell the woman to get rid of “the sign”?
To get positive result one must come clean and cease knee-jerking when in actual fact there isn’t (legally) too much that can be done about them that are or will be granted P.R.C. status. It’s water under the bridge period.
Typo: This isn’t the way to go about things…
“We thank the PC for their interest in Bermuda and take note of their most recent evaluation.”
OBA – Please carry on with getting us back on track and don’t continue to be sidetracked with back and forth banter. This is a three pronged, orchestrated endeavour.
Yeah OBA, please carry on with doing the biddings of wealthy non-Bermudians, PRC-holders and local well-to-dos.
If that’s the case maybe I’m getting screwed because I’m none of those. I don’t see it that way though. And I understand varying views on policy decisions. But results for Bermudians..or lack of…will be the benchmark by which the next election is won or lost….and the voters will determine if results have meant improvements to their economic well being. And it is the economy that matters for 90% of voters when it comes time to x their ballot…no matter how much emotion people present elsewhere.
“local well-to-dos” whom are still Bermudian the real problem is you think your not included cause someone told you aren’t. Kinda like the PLP and “real Bermudians” In the words of one DJ “if they want to dissasociate themselves letem.”
LOL
Really? What else am I thinking?
That is nonsense. OBA is for every Bermudian.
A government that encourages investment in Bermuda is good for all Bermudians.
The PLP seem anti foreign investment and anti foreigner.so are bad for Bermudians.
People’s Campaign Public Evaluation For July – ‘Big Yawn’!!!!!
This group need to remember they are NOT our elected Government!! They are so obviously aligned with the PLP! You are Not elected, remember??? You are entitled to your opinion that is all. YOU DO NOT SPEAK for me! I thank Canon Francis for his measured and thoughtful recent letter. I have two children who were laid off over last year’s of PLP, They both just getting jobs now thanks to an improving economy! If you cannot be a positive part of finding solutions, get out of the way and let the rest of us dig us out of the hole YOU put us in.
Disgusted Mom
Lizzie, you wouldnt support PLP even if the good times they governed pre-2008 (namely pre-global recession) continued up to this point. On your (family) profile alone its easy to determine which political party your feel your interests are aligned with. Arent you the same Titterons that managed to build a second home under the PLPs tenure? Not really something to be disgusted about I’d say…
People’s Campaign for Equality, Jobs & Justice = plp.
I and My Family are part of the People and like many otherPeople on this Island,you do NOT represent us.
Carpetbagger
The People’s Campaign= Do the PLoP’s dirty work!!
I find it a sad truth that if you say something enough, somehow it becomes more believable. There was no global economic recession. This is a myth propagated by the PLP to deflect blame for the miserable state of affairs that they caused in our country.
None of Asia experienced a recession. Nor the middle east..nor Canada or Mexico nor most of South America. These countries represent 2/3 of the world. Global recession? In addition, the US experienced a 1.9% GDP decline over 18 months. Bermuda has experienced a 16% GDP decline over 5 years and is still going. This recession was 100% self inflicted by the PLP government of the day through multiple actions including term limits that literally chased away our clients and made our long term guest worker feel despised. Well done PLP. Economics 101 says to treat your customers with respect. You made them feel unwelcome and they left. Is that really so complicated?
Why do you (less than accurately)refer to Asia, Canada, Mexico and S Amercia when we are economically most closely tied to North America and Europe. You know… they guys that DID bear the brunt of the GLOBAL ECONOMIC RECESSION!
I’m afraid I have to disagree that Bermuda’s recession is 100 percent inflicted by the PLP.
There was a global recession, though there were countries that did weather things particularly well. Bermuda was affected because the US was.
That said, the PLP are responsible for the depth and length of time that we’re suffering under the recession. They were not financially responsible with Government spending, and they made decisions that successfully offended the people and companies that we needed to weather things.
So you sow, so shall you reap. Well, the PLP didn’t just leave the field to fallow, they turned on the fan to blow away all the soil.
What were these decisions you refer to and how were they more impactful on the “depth and length” we are suffering than say the fact 85% of our GDP is propped up on a single industry, globalization has made it increasingly easier for that industry to identify and capitalize on cost efficiencies (especially human resource), massive losses in equity markets wiped out much of those companys’ investment capital in 2009/20010, banks were lending willy nilly pre-2008 as if the fun would never stop and (more recently) the industry that most of our econommic activity rests on is currently under threat by forces that are making it harder for them to turn a buck?
It should be noted to the Carpetbagger of the People’s Campaign that Bermuda long ago passed the Recession and have been in a Depression for the last 3 years….Thanks to Brown,Burch and Cox
If you ask me the peoples campaign sound like a bunch of…..
The Peoples Campaign (LOL), or rather the PLP splinter group are clearly a bad joke. Despite claiming to be an independent group they show themselves as being in the pocket of the PLP with every utterance they make (& or don’t make).
The PC roll out another list of issues that they feel the OBA have either failed in or have been seen to be lacking in transparency, that’s fine. Yet no real mention nor criticism of the PLP, why is that?. Where is the PC’s request of the PLP to get on with meeting Gov. Fergusson’s request for more information regarding the inquiry into historic land grabs?.
This was supposedly such an important issue to the People of Bermuda that the PLP called for the Gov’s removal and childishly refused to sit in the HOA (they haven’t been missed) so why haven’t the PC asked the PLP to do as the Governor requested?. Instead the PC say they want a Peoples Review Commission of Inquiry, clearly a pathetic attempt to give the PLP a pass and look like they are indeed concerned about this issue. Pathetic!!
The PC through their clearly biased stance are being seen as just a PLP agitator group and nothing more. So much so that their Youth event yesterday was attended by how many? Clearly the Youth and the wider population see the PC for what they are and they are voting with their feet and staying away.
for fear of actually fixing anything, We all of us in Bermuda allow elected Official to convince of anything that can’t be proven…It is the history of Bermuda and I see it change anytime soon…The best liars/ emotional stirrers wins the election..
The Bermuda made recession, we truly are another world…all other jurisdictions are part of the global world, but not Bermuda…we rely on no our jurisdiction… our economy operates independent of global trends..
2014 Citibank is still reducing staff Worldwide… but when they do it in Bermuda it’s the PLP fault..
NEW YORK (AP) — Citigroup says it is cutting 4,500 jobs over the next few quarters.
CEO Vikram Pandit said the job cuts are part of the New York bank’s efforts to reduce costs. Pandit made the remarks Tuesday at a financial services conference hosted by Goldman Sachs & Co.
Citigroup Inc.’s fourth-quarter results will include $400 million in expenses related to severance. Pandit also warned that the bank will take another $500 million hit to revenue from an accounting loss the bank will have to take for the higher cost of its debt.
The biggest corporate layoffs of all time
So all those institutions are still releasing staff but woe betide the OBA Govt if they release Govt staff. Heaven forbid that they privatize any of these wasteful, money draining entities that are costing taxpayers more than they are worth.
You and the other PLP apologists need to accept it, the PLP overspent and wasted money like drunken sailors. This was taking place before and during the ‘world wide’ recession even as Govt revenue decreased.
The PLP Govt did not listen to the numerous verbal warnings nor did they heed the warning signs that where as obvious as the nose on our faces. instead Spending and hiring increased when it was obvious that it couldn’t be sustained. By the time they checked themselves it was too late and hundreds of millions of much needed $$$$ was gone. with knowing all that so who’s fault is it then, the OBA’s, Citibank? SMDH
ok Rhonda lets say the OBA is Citibank and Government Workers are the staff…would you allow the OBA to reduce staff? after all the PLP bloated the staff of Government to win votes right?
The lady with the sign is 100++++% right. Those words ring true to you know who you are (profoundly selfish and shameless) in this commentary. Her words point out not only a Bermuda problem, but a global one. One case in point, and occurring at this writing, crawl out of your hiding place of shame and look at what it has created in Ferguson, Missouri–the deliberate murder of a young Black male by a sufferer. Accept that this world is subdued by this. If you accept this then perhaps you can begin eradicating this deadly illness.
They actually think they are relevant. Funny.
This is hilarious. This group is so in your face biased it’s ridiculous. And to think they really believe they represent Bermuda (oh, wait its the PEOPLE). After Mr. Tweeds rant, and their total disregard for dealing with issues related to any Party, Organization, or even persons other than the OBA is a farce. I’m not trying to be overly judgmental of this organization; but come on, just look at the statements they release. Do they think people are that blind?
“We are fundamentally opposed to any plans to privatize and/or mutualize any public assets. Any unilateral decision by the Government to privatize public assets will be consider to be crossing a redline.”
Any plans to privatize? Any?
Unilateral decision?
Just so I’m clear on this, is this a ultimatum? Can this be taken to the bank?
I just want to make sure the message is clear, so there’s no need for anyone to demand an apology later on.
EW
Kinda like the “red line……….
UNLESS YOU ARE FOR ALL OF “THE PEOPLE” YOU SHOULD NOT BE CALLED THE PEOPLES CAMPAIGN!!!! TAKE A SEAT PLEASE! And yes I am a black Bermudian for all of those who say that only White Bermudians are against this foolishness. I say lets ALL work together for the betterment of this country. You dont se 200 white bermudians marching up and down the street. Think of what we can do if we all worked together. ENOUGH ALREADY!!!!
@ Mike at 11.08 19th Aug – I like the way you think!!!
Hurrah for common sense!
The union raised dues 16.5% on the workers and The People’s Campaign say nothing?
Load of PLPers trying to brainwash the illiterate!
That’s because they are part of the Union and PLP. Open up your eyes people, they are a branch, notice how quiet Marc Bean’s been lately? I wonder why, they are doing his dirty work and trying to brainwash the brainwashable. YOU MEAN NOTHING AND DO NOT REPRESENT ME.
animallover,
All I am going to say is that–I had better not say it.
@ Rasta,
Yup, I guess we will have to wait for their August ‘report’ to see any reference to that, I wont be holding my breath mind you.
Things taken from the report:
1. As highlighted by ZBMTV, the Youth Symposium was sparsely attended. Maybe it wasn’t promoted enough, or the People’s Campaign lacks the draw for young people.
2. As mentioned earlier in the comments thread, the “People’s Campaign will seek to assess the Government and the Opposition through public evaluations” seems heavily weighted towards criticism of OBA members with very little commentary on PLP actions. The only thing of substance was an urging of MPs to attend the HoA sessions. How do they feel about statements made by the various Shadow Ministers this past month?
3. Like Edmund Wells states above, I’m a little concerned by the response of “crossing a red line” if Government is considering privatisation of certain things (which may be for the better good of Bermuda as a whole). That kind of resembles a threat, when discussion hasn’t even been initiated between the respective bodies.
The People’s Campaign has now lost credibility – their purpose and aim is now evident. Their bias is obvious. Sigh.
The anti-OBA bias is so obvious. No evaluation of the PLP. Rev Tweed will soon be the leader of the PLP.
Was this “gang voted” into office while I wasn’t looking??
Last time I heard, we had an election and the OBA became the Government. If the so called “people’s campaign” want to have some say, (as much as I dislike party politics) then they should form a party and run for office. This group neither represents me or anyone that I know, and I have a problem with their threatening posture.
As for the so called “Reverend”, well…!
