Have they made it there yet?? It is afternoon now and most people who still have jobs (thanks to 17th Dec 2012) have knocked off by now… Fail!!.

I can’t wait for it either. The PLP will likely get the same treatment as the Labour Party got in Britain or if heaven forbid they win the Govt they will actually have to back up their BS and then you will be sorry.

Sadly though they will fail again & it will be the working class that will feel the pain the most… again; just like after their previous tenure. So if you are a masochist and want more pain then vote the PLP back in.

I feel you pal but IMO Minister Tweed’s religious back ground and the fact that he isn’t an accountant etc… does not disqualify him from leading this group. We’ve had a few groups formed over the years I didn’t see many if any accountants, actuaries etc stepping up to the plate.

However if he was as you described it would stop him making a fool of himself which he has done on this. I’m no accountant but even I can see that they’re completely out of their depth and they are not helping their cause outside of the party faithful and the easily fooled.

While I agree this is all about helping to get the PLP re-elected again and has nothing to do with corruption or any other BS they are quoting because if it was they would’ve been all over the Port Royal fiasco and others that have come to light.

To his credit, he did, last year combine some words of profound logic.

During the debate on the Himan Rigyts Act Rev. Tweed sai roughly, “The criteria for protection under the Human Roghts Act should be whether or not a person is human’.”

That was brilliant, seen no other redeeming effort, statement, or thought before or since.

Peace.

Take note of picture above…

Using someone religious to influence people too stupid to know any better – is dishonest, at best.

That is clearly what is happening here. Religion is used to get the edge over gullible people.

If Tweed was an actuary, an accountant, a CEO – then he might actually have appropriate skills to be making his claims.

As it is – he is a preacher who has undue influence on people – and as such he is being used.

Bob Richards needs to pull his head from under the fuzzy hood and listen to the people instead of negotiating a confirmed six for a nine rotten 35 year ,one billion dollar give away . He tried to justify this deal by the deal we got from America , no comparison whatsoever !

Lets be clear here, this is not Bermudian money this is the developers money. Who they choose to award the contract to is upto them. AECON is world renowned and has vast experience. Any kind of foreign investment in Bermuda is likely to involve some sort of foreign entity. What is important here is that this has a positive economic impact in the long run and also a new piece of infrastructure that desperately needs to be replaced. Those that cannot understand that are the ones that are pro-debt in my opinion and therefore do not understand the situation we are currently in.

No group or faction has been more damaging to Bermuda than the PLP and the BIU over the past 2 years. No one has cause more stoppages to economic activity, cost the Island more money in lost revenues and continues to be ‘pro-debt’ in their behaviour. Maybe the fact that the BIU are currently in default on their financial audits is a big tell tale as to why they take this attitude. They simply do not understand the attempted economic suicide their beloved PLP undertook in a very irresponsible period of Governance.

What amazes me is the one of the PLP’s key recommendations in their so called economic plan (that consists nothing more than a few bullet points), is SEA BED MINING. Tell me how you would tender a Seabed mining project without a similar agreement in place to the airport? The only thing about the Mining project is the environmental impact and the raw material can never be put back, whilst this Airport will be Bermuda’s once again in 30 years time.

We need to protest against these ECONOMIC TERRORISTS = BIU, PLP, PEOPLE’S REPUBLIC.

For peet’s sake they are out there protesting against jobs that will cost the Bermuda taxpayers nothing!

Aecon became aware of the Bermuda Airport project after reading the Minister’s public statements and contacted CCC about it. Nothing unusual there, CCC are supposed to be a facilitator remember.

It’s likely then that CCC arranged a meeting between CCC, Aecon and the Minsiter at Aecon’s office so that Aecon could present their airport credentials (Quito Airport).
