No doubt the OBA’s pleased the PLP ‘unreservedly supports’Bean+Burt’s antics What a Party of misfits they are! Kim Wilson’s support/silence disapoints! Previously-thought better of her! Clearly the OBA secretly hope the PLP keep Bean+Burt as PLP leaders forever! Lol!!

@ Bermyman,

Nope, they have no respect for women. By their actions they don’t have any for themselves let alone anyone else.

@ Raymond Ray,

It’s his skin tone that will prevent that from happening anytime soon. On the other note they love to hear his mouth, when his foot isn’t in it that is.

@ rhonda,

With Mr. Bean & co with their constant misguided shenanigans it would take Dr. Brown joining & running for the OBA to have them voted out. LOL

@ Mockingjay,

I guess you missed this then lol.

Bernews, 18th Feb 2014:

Update 5.21pm: The Minister said, “I have reached out to Mr. Swan and Mr. Starling to apologize personally to both gentlemen.

“That said, I have apologized already for what I termed my use of ‘intemperate language in the course of a private exchange’ before the House of Assembly re-started.

“I respect…”

He never apologized for his behaviour, he instead tried to deflect it as being the fault of everyone but him

Really, in the last couple years they had a leader step down for his stupid actions, they have apologized for not having gotten the economy turned around to the position they had hope it would be at by now. The only thing they aren’t apologizing for is having to make hard choices that they know not everyone will agree with, and might not see the target of the long term gain.

@ aceboy and any Progressive Labour Party female affiliate, how can a woman or anyone believe in human rights condone that asinine bie’s behavior yet along support him?
I’ll repeat A Front Ed letter prior to mine: “I find it astonishing that an Opposition leader who is about to appear in court, who has been excluded from the House, who has made homophobic and allegedly misogynistic remarks, who has admitted using ganja tea on his child and who has publicly threatened the Speaker of the House can remain as a Leader. This speaks volumes of those who support him.” (Yes volumes of them who can/do support that mindset.)

Not according to Mr. Bean, he thinks he should be the one who decides who get to be MP’s and the Speaker in the House.

they’re mixing up “Die Heart” with “Braveheart” similarly with “All timers”, “Old timers” for “Alzheimer’s”.

You must not live on the island then, because I drive past Pink Beach regularly and see a huge building site full of people doing construction work, then I drive past Ariel Sands and hear jackhammers preparing the site and have seen their plans for a $90 million development and then up at Pompano construction workers building new hotel rooms in preparation for the AC35, drive up to Dockyards and there is a buzz of activity, then down at Fairmont Hamilton the new restaurant and outside terrace areas are being worked on, across the road I see the site being prepared for new luxury condominiums by Bacardi, then where I live, the house next to me is having a big addition built and the house opposite is having renovations done. Things are happening and that means jobs have been created and are being created, as more projects start up, with Morgan’s Point, Elbow Beach and then the new Airport a year or so away. Of course there are still those unemployed, as the OBA have had to literally resurrect Bermuda’s economy from a pile of ashes, but progress is being made slowly but surely. Where are you anyway? I suggest you take off your blinkers.

Yup! They were unwavering and supportive of Jennifer Scott and Alex Scott too. Mark, if you can’t see clearly I will say it for you. At the next election, right after you get them all the young votes, you will be axed. The term we had to deceive you comes to mind.

Let me double-check on imdb…but I’m pretty sure the movie was called “Die Hard”. Sorry to be nitpicky…just the fact that the wrong name keeps getting repeated is bugging me..lol.

They too attempted to defend the indefensible in the debate that preceded the vote, only further tarnishing their own reputations. Kim Wilson knows better too.

By: Lois Frederick

Lois Frederick — Mon, 18 May 2015 15:28:57 +0000

Reread the statement. He did not apologise. He said, “Mr. Speaker, I would like to first begin by extending my profound apologies to the people of this country for the tumultuous period of transition that we find ourselves proceeding through”. It was a trick shot and play on words, that obviously fooled you and other sympathisers. Deceptive as always and only further reinforces his questionable character.

By: Lois Frederick

Lois Frederick — Mon, 18 May 2015 15:23:27 +0000

Interesting point. So by the PLP’s logic, it is only the Speaker who can remove himself from the House. Of course the motion will fail without the numbers anyway, so it’s a moot point.

That you can’t see the difference between what Dunkley did and what Bean did is more than a little concerning.

Many of us would say- Not apologizing or accepting responsibility (for anything… ever) is a sign of weakness and insecurity.Maybe politicians think plenty of voters are small minded and view an admission as some sort of mini defeat? Votes are measured in Quantity not Quality.

WOW! Unwavering and unreserved?
Sure didn’t sound like a lot of strong support on Friday from his own colleagues! From my stand point I hope he stays as leader! However, I have no doubt that they will not keep him for the next election, its the usual “we had to deceive you!” PLP tactic.He is an embarrassment to the Party! Lets hear from individuals like Kim Wilson, Walton Brown, Dennis Lister (we know what Terry thought of Bean!). “Unreserved “? Really? I don’t think so!

Its not a war Mockingjay – this is the main problem with Bean and the PLP’s us and them tactics.

What Burt does is the correct opposition – attacking policies not people and ideas not race.

Grow up

The PLP has a good number of potential leaders who are good reasons to vote OBA but, without question, Bean is the very best.

Stand strong. Support Bean.

If you were paying any attention Steve you would have heard the apoplogy in the HOA on Friday by Mr. Mark Bean… so does that make a difference now or are you just hellbent on making a negative comment against the loyal opposition leader..knowing that he has apologized, will that now give him more credibility in your eyes?

The fact the the PLP support Bean, Burt and Brown following their sideshows says it all.

It is one thing to say that something is a waste of F ing time! It is another to make a personal attack on someone by referencing their gender, their integrity and accusing them of partaking in sexual acts with others.

Do the PLP not have respect for the women of this country?

Marc Bean is a clown and this suspension is well deserved.

However, it only seemed to take a vote so is there any reason why the government cannot do this whenever they feel like it? Or does someone like the Speaker have to approve taking it to a vote? What would prevent the OBA from voting to suspend any PLP person any time they want? They always have the votes to win…

Nah. Too much baggage, that’s about to be opened and seen for all to see. But then again the plp have a reputation for making poor choices, so they could still do it.

lol….Dunkley was caught on a mic telling the truth….that the issue at hand was a waste of f-ing time.

He did not threaten anyone, call anyone a racist dog, didn’t call a female MP a political w**** who he would pass around amongst his friends.

That is what YOU are defending.

Such hypocrites. Yet you support an OBA Premier who mouthed out disgusting expletives on a hot mic where children could have been listening in this so called sanctuary of a HOA as he was denigrating someone else from his high pedestal. Where’s the talk of censorship there and his being escorted out like a common criminal as was Mr. Bean? Oh right…it’s SELECTIVE.. Gotcha.

By: Double D

Comes as no surprise to me.

The PLP put forward jahmal Simmons as a candidate after his tweets about burning and violence.

This ‘unwavering’ defense speaks volume about this organization as well as anybody who thinks such rhetoric is becoming of so called ‘leaders.’

I expect the same cry of dictatorial behaviour when the PLP put forward their censure motion against the speaker and label Marc Bean’s comments about next week being MP Horton’s last day in the House as being un democratic? Wouldn’t want to be hypocrites right PLP? Never mind, you guys live by the do as I say and not as I do mantra.

Carry on.

I was under the impression that the UBP/OBA had a mandate to create jobs for Bermudians . No jobs created thus far but , one serious attempt to make sure Mark Bean can’t work in Bermuda !

One word of advice to Mark Bean ; Never show your enemies strenght before the fight !

Randy Horton ; your name and reputation is in the toilet . Once respected , now a pariah in your community . When the UBP/OBA is done with you ,the pension check will be of no comfort .

May the mighty PLP return to Government soon !
