    If this Government put their money where their mouth is, these students would not have to leave because of plumbing issues. I graduated from Dellwood Middle school 10 years ago and it hurts to know they are still facing these types of problems. We have to make the school environment comfortable for our children. It’s sad!

      Princess,
      You are right.
      Was dr. gibbons not just in the news, at delwood for the first day of school? Was the oba not in charge over the past 3 months of summer?
      How was this problem not identified over the holiday period, instead causing the school to be closed in the first week of this school year?
      Ask the oba…they are in charge aren’t they?
      As usual there are some who will never admit to being at fault, instead choosing to point fingers at others.
      Whether they do it for money or for egotistical satisfaction, well, your guess is as good as mine.
      Nevertheless, I find bernews to be a good place to comment on what is happening in and around our island.
      Although, admittedly, it gets tiresome sorting through alot of the worthless drivel, and self righteousness on display.
      Stay positive

      What do you mean “still facing”? If so, then WHERE TF were YOU 10 years ago? Why didn’t YOU call out the PLP then? There were in charge since you graduated up until 18 months ago?

  6. Kangoocar says:

    @princess, you obviously did not get educated very well while you were attending school?? Can you please explain why you would blame this government who has been in power for 18 months and conveniently NOT blame the plp who were in power while you were attending Dellwood and for many years after and NOTHING was done about it??? I can see your type from a mile away!!!

    • Raymond Ray says:

      That’s so true Kangoocar…Why?

      • Kangoocar says:

        @Raymond, very easy to explain my friend, princess is just another paid plp blogger that spews nonsense on these blogs!!! Princess is no different than betty, coffee, Rhonda, paperdoll and god1st!!! Along with the many other pathetic plp paid bloggers that have no hope in life except to bring Bermuda to its knees in order to regain power at all costs!!! the big problem is, they are too stupid to realize that reap gaining power at all costs will give them nothing in the end, because there will be nothing left for them to take!!! A bunch of sad and sick individuals that have no hope in life!!!!! I will never be fooled by their nonsense and they know it!!!!

        • Kunta says:

          Do you have proof that there are P.L.P paid bloggers? But there is PROOF that O.B.A/ubp have paid bloggers !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
          LMFAO

          • LOL (Original TM*) says:

            It is a known fact that the PLP have used paid bloggers in the past and there no way some bloggers on here really believe the script they are paid to write, especially around the 2007 election. So what’s your point, its called strategy. Before you jump up and down in hysteria like this is new to either party in Bermuda. Your late catch up or you’ll fall for anything.

            LOL

            • Kunta says:

              PROOF !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

              • Kangoocar says:

                Does the name ” bud ” ring any bells your head??? Seems you have conveniently forgotten the FACT that plp min Roban was caught posting under the name BUD!!!!

    • Raymond Ray says:

      In reality, who is to say it wasn’t sabotage? Remember, there are many that hate seeing things being accomplished by our One Bermuda Alliance Government. (Think about it, and be honest…)

      • Kunta says:

        So was it a lot of sabotage when P.L.P was in power ?
        LMFAO
