Premier Greets SoftBank Team Japan At Cabinet
With just a few weeks until the Louis Vuitton America’s Cup World Series Races, Premier Michael Dunkley recently welcomed sailors from SoftBank Team Japan to the Cabinet Office. The team is led by Dean Barker, who has been appointed skipper and CEO of the Japanese challenger.
According to Team Japan details, Skipper Barker brings over 15 years of America’s Cup experience to the Japanese team, including having sailed in four America’s Cup Matches. SoftBank Team Japan was confirmed as a challenger this summer and has moved to Bermuda this month to prepare for the World Series Races and the 2017 America’s Cup.
Accompanying Mr. Barker was his teammate Kazihuko SoFuku (Fuku), also pictured. Premier Dunkley was joined by the Minister of Economic Development, Dr. the Hon. Grant Gibbons at the recent courtesy visit of Team Japan.
WHAT A BUNCH OF CRAP!!!!!!!!
SoFuKu
Just like you!
Problem with our country…exhibit #1…Watch out.
who’s the local rep on the phone?
That’s Derrick Binns, the Cabinet Secretary.
“Watch out” that’s your opinion; (and we all know what they are like, we all have one
Read further down for mine.
You Sir are an idiot
Once again Govt. putting Americas Cup before the people of Bermuda. When govt figures out they should take care of home before taking care of others then maybe just maybe this Americas Cup thing in 2017 wouldnt be a complete disaster.
When will the simple minded people get it through their heads that we need to take care of others before we can take care of ourselves. We NEED their money. Learn how the economy works before shooting off your mouth. I swear we are getting dumber by the second on this damn rock.
Take care of others before we take care of ourselves. That’s like saying you LOVE everyone but don’t LOVE yourself.
What an @$$hole.
You simply cannot be as thick as you portray yourself.
I’m afraid he/she is.
Lol.
As soon as you say simple minded, look who’s the first one to chime in? LOL- OJ. Its like he heard his name being called!
Don’t make me holler
Never seen a Bermudian athlete meet with Dunkley and Gibbons at cabinet….
What rock you been hiding under? Dunkley meets/congratulates one, or a team within cabinet every few months. Gibbons is doing what he suppose to do I’m assuming, and meeting with our star athletes is just not one of his agenda.
people like you Know Dat only see what they want to see…you have a distorted view of Bermuda and wish to make everything racist…disgraceful
No clue.
………..and Premier Gibbons also decided that…..
when will it be Bermudians turn? dance at your yard before u dance abroad
and why is he on the phone because he knows his place it not for him or kind let the true be told
Gotta spend money to make money!
@ I heart 441: That seems to be a major problem here with a great deal of “people” they don’t realize one must give easy with one hand while simultaneously pulling hard and steady with the other if they wish to progress. It’s unfortunate for some to believe dollars will be given to them for doing absolutely nothing at all. Sad yes, but true
So when PLP spent money it was corruption, now UBP do it, it’s a sensible business deal.
Oligarchy Business Again
I give up with these internet trolls who talk *****
Shalom.
Don’t give up now, its gonna get more interesting. When PLP was in power you had the daily printing about corruption on a regular, now UBP are under the microscope you want to turn the lights off.
You cant sweep ya Gates under the carpet forever.
Terry; it amazes me every day I read the comments on Bernews. Sadly, they DON”T even know it.
SMH
Welcome to Bermuda – good luck on the water !
