Thanks for the up-date Premier Michael Dunkley.
@ Regins: “RayRay – Clearly you didn’t read the entire article.” I commented on what Shadow Minister of Finance David Burt had stated but yes, he’d changed direction soon after this statement: “Shadow Minister of Finance David Burt said the Government will have the “full support” of the PLP as they “fight for our reputation overseas” following the “ridiculous, arbitrary action” of the European Commission placing Bermuda on a blacklist.”

Good Afternoon,
The Deputy Premier/Minister of Finance is overseas now dealing with this matter. Through this process we have and will continue to work with the UK but the most important message comes from us as Bermudians. The Deputy Premier, with the support of our London office and other colleagues, has done a good job in the past with information and education and will continue to do so in the future. He will be back Thursday night and will provide a statment to the House on Friday.

Photo ops are great.
They all do it.

But the cyber media is the way to go.

Just another rallying cry to Burts followers that we care.

Rum all around.

Good point Mr. Deacon.

The ball is in Michael Dunkley’s court and he does not need to make a “Net”.
He needs an “Ace”.

Grow some b@lls Mike.

Most unfortunate.
I do love though how in the same breath Burt manages to arbitrarily offer support and sling dirt. As if Richards knows everyone in the EU and could have been “alerted” or that all the “trips to Brussels” could have saved us… didn’t you just repeat that having no income tax alone landed countries on this list.

Oh ok just checking.

If you’re going to offer support, just offer the damn support. It’s truly ignorant to blame someone for something they had no control over.

Strikes me that this is something for the London office to take up? It seems that a process of education and information is urgently needed.

It is great to see the PLP promising a unified front with this, but can he actually make a statement of support and still critize the government in the same statement barely a breath later. On one hand you have him offering PLP support, then on the other he is saying that the OBA should support the PLP in this outrage… is he oblivious as to who actually lead the charge on this. He then goes on to say the OBA wouldn’t take a stand against something like this if they were in opposition??? The difference between Minister Richards and Mr. Burt’s responding to this is that when Minister Richards responds, it is actually intelligible, continuous and makes sense; he actually has the ability to respond like a leader and statesman.

“Shadow Minister of Finance David Burt said the Government will have the “full support” of the PLP as they “fight for our reputation overseas” following the “ridiculous, arbitrary action” of the European Commission placing Bermuda on a blacklist.”
We should be seeing more co-operation from the Opposition if we’re to get out of this debt and bettering life for everyone as oppose to name calling, insinuations and accusations.
I thank you Shadow Minister of Finance, David Burt and PLP associates…

This started out as a coherent statement and tailed into who knows what.
