yet all these highly moral members of the PLP are not taken to task for their nasty comments seems like OBA and their supporters and more importantly BERMUDIANS that don’t agree with the PLP are being held to a higher standard……..

LOL where have I heard that before.

Why doesn’t it suprise me that the PLP is against whistle blowers and transparency regarding how our tax dollars are being wasted in the bloated civil service which is a direct result of the PLP’s mis-management.

This is the same team that had the AG arrested, labeled the current AG as a race traitor and attacked the previous Ombudsman on several occassions.

Magnus Henagulph highlighted what was currently happening around him by employees being paid by taxpayers money. The result was ” he threw his colleagues under the bus”. Utter nonsense. It was a reality of which he spoke. So much so, no one could defend themselves. This happened under the PLP watch. He is a courageous young man and felt it was important that these situations be highlighted. What happened then was ” we shot the messenger”. We had come so far from integrity, professionalism and doing the right thing that we did not recognize it when we met it head on. Good luck in your new position Mr. Henagulph and please continue to abide by your values and beliefs!

Yes but the PLP is the King and Queen of anti Bermudian remeber they spent 14 years or more now dividing the country playing on history to justify their continued hate as they only see some Bermudians as “real” so what do you expect from someone who condemns what they themselves do.

LOL there is a word for that….

The nameless PLP release criticizes Magnus for his SAGE Report, yet at the time, Shadow Finance Minister David Burt praised it. How many PLP factions are there? They are clearly unaware of their conflicting opinions.

Why do you have to make it personal PLP? And why make it personal when you do not add a name to the statement?
The PLP knows as well as anyone – they have told me – that the OBA need PR. I really hate it when people/organisations are two-faced, but I guess I just have to get used to it.
Good Magnus, you are a top bloke and I’m still waiting for the coffee date.

PLP statement: We most strongly object to this Bermudian getting employment! after careful consideration and research we have noticed that this so called Bermudian does not look like us and thus we object!

LOL the PLP is shrinking their own voting base with every foolish statement they make.

Now my question stands , will Hemigulp take one furlough day per month as according to the agreements laid out between Govt and the unions ? Fair question .and I don’t expect for CC to show dirty knickers again !

You are correct. The OBA will be reviled for whatever they do. For that reason they need to do what is right to save Bermuda and ignore the political consequences. As a start:

1) Any new Government employee has a defined contribution pension. No more defined benefits. Effective NOW
2) No new hirings. No ifs or buts. If someone leaves there are plenty of other people who can be promoted. If not fire each one until there is someone.
3) Continue the privatization of Government started by the PLP. There are many services ripe to be privatized and in consequence empower and reward workers. Those who want to work will benefit.

It has already been 18 months since the election. This can’t wait.

Bean can’t say anything. He himself was employed as a paid condultant by E Brown, along with a chief of staff, an office manager, a press secretary, a driver, a coordinator (Bean), a consultant (Rolfe), a full time writer, two Washington lobbyists, and an assistant to the Premier. Ten people.
Cox “economised” and reduced it to nine people.

And unlike Commissiong, taxpayers aren’t funding an OBA consultant’s salary. Meanwhile the PLP shifted tens of millions of dollars of our money into the hands of their insider cadre through no bid Givernment contracts and sweetheart consultant gigs. What tangible returns did taxpayers receive in return other than debt?

The PLP’s hypocrisy would be laughable if it wasn’t for the fact their primary goal is to destabilize the country for selfish political gain.

PLP – party before country since 1998 – $2,000,000,000 in debt land growing by the day.

“It is interesting that the civil servant, who won thousands of dollars for throwing his government colleagues under the bus in an error filled submission to the SAGE Commission,…”

Error filled submission. That’s why the Union and co are so upset, I bet there wasn’t any errors when he described how persons played on their computers all day instead of actually worked… like they are paid by taxpayers to do!! No real comment from the Union on that was there?. Jokers!!

And there’s the rub folks. IMO the Union is more concerned with his whistle blowing on the p*ss poor work ethic/performance of some of their membership than anything that should not have been said in his submission to SAGE.

Why? Because it means that there are grounds for the removal of unneeded staff which means less dues and of course less power for the Unions. It also makes a strong argument for privatization of some Govt Departments which apparently is a no no.

Its a pity that the OBA (and even the PLP if they had remained the Govt) lack the guts to enact some of the SAGE Commissions recommendations, after all they aren’t all based on ‘erroneous’ information now are they?.

Surely all of our elected leaders can pull their collective heads out of the political sand and start fixing the problems tthey all created.

The Nameless Faceless PLP spokesperson is attacking someone who was brave enough to submit what he saw to help Bermuda progress, knowing that there would be backlash. He could have said nothing and had a much easier life, but he stood up to be counted when so many others scurried and hid in corners.
