Plp and the Oba both sound like little kids fighting over a toy thinking it belongs to one of them when it belongs to everybody. Both parties should grow up accept that there will be one party in power and support them for Bermudas benifit.

Please Rayban, crime flourished under the PLP as murders and gang violence all started.

Legalise it….you will be building hotels within six months!
There areareprescription drugs that we are encouraged to purchase….that are advertised….with warnings of…growing man breasts…to thoughts of suicide….right the hell onto death…yup death….if you should suddenly die consult your family doctor immediately….but this is perfectly and utterly legal…on one hand you do not have freedom of choice….but you may purchase (and are encouraged),to purchase and swallow something that may or may not kill you,……..but marijuanna is illegal?……..in my estimation …this is a wrong that needs to be made right!!!!!!

There was nothing honorable whatsoever done by the actions of the OBA when considering this matter . If revealed the silly naive things done by the disgraced OBA leader and ex- premier would have sullied Bermudas sterling reputation for years to come . Saying that , it doesn’t negate the fact that the people of Bermuda have the right to know exactly what that man and others were up to that caused the chairman of the OBA Thad Hollis , a lawyer to resign and wash his hands entirely off of the OBA .

The better question is “who caused it?” and the blame falls squarely on the PLP.

By: Coffee

That’s the $800 million question right there !,! Bermuda Premier resigns in disgrace . Craig Cannonier , Premier of Bermuda and leader of that countries ruling OBA party resigns for unspecified but suspect reasons .

The new Premier Dunkeley refuses to face the nation and tell them why . Was there a scandal ? Is there a cover up ?

Unfortunately the people of Bermudas democratic right to know has been stifled from the very echelons of power in the country . It’s a slippery slope , as the people can no longer trust the people who is supposed to be running that country .

Because he did the honorable thing after being caught doing silly naive things!!! If only the plp leaders had been as honorable?? The plp leaders should have resigned for MANY things, Berkely, Heritage Warf, TCD, Dame Lois building, Warwick Condos and the missing $800 million of OUR money to name but a few of the reasons the entire plp should have resigned over??? But nope, holding power was more important to you guys than even what was good for your supporters, speaking of your supporters, look at the mess you left them in??? They suffered the most because of your plp ways and you know it!!!!

Mr roban- was it time to say something to the press? even if its total B%LL Sh** ? When shootings were more regular (pre 2012), i didn’t blame the plp and still don’t as they were as upset as everyone else. Please raise your game a notch (if you can)

Forgot to mention that $400 million of the borrowed money the OBA was forced to get, actually went toward the $400 million deficit you incompetents managed to achieve on your last fiscal budget!!! Have you forgotten that as well???

By: kangoocar

kangoocar — Sat, 26 Sep 2015 00:49:23 +0000

Glad I am getting under your skin!!! Unfortantley not enough bermudians did until it was to late for the Bermuda economy, at this point we just have to be grateful that Dec, 17, 2012 happened!!! let me explain were the $800 million that the OBA borrowed went, it went to pay for all the incompetent things you and your plp put us the tax payers on the hook for!!! You know simple things like you guys hiring 1000++ CS employees we didn’t need, also a grandios hospital we didn’t need yet at the astronomical cost of over $300 million, you do realize that we actually had to pay for this stuff didn’t you?? For the record, if I actually was a parliamentary member of the OBA, I would have made it clear from the beginning when the OBA was elected that we should scrap immediately all the stuff we cannot afford, and that would have meant getting rid of every CS worker we did not need!!! I have explained to you were the $800 million borrowed by the OBA went to pay for your incompetence!!!! The least you can do is explain were the UNACCOUNTED for $$800 MILLION went under your watch of the public tax money!!!! After you furnish us all with that info, I will be more than happy to discuss things further with you!!!!

Good grief!!! Can you ever tell the truth?? 3 yrs??? It has been 2 yrs and 9 months, also if you think the carnage your incompetent plp caused could be repaired in less than 10 yrs you are delusional!!! Please for once do the rest of Bermuda a favour, just say nothing if you are not able to apologize!!!

You know what coffee?? You would be taken more serious if you actually for once said something that was truthful?? Being I know you are incapable of that, I will help you, you should have said, ” thanks to MY plp, our island is in a deplorable state, and we now have to hope the OBA can repair the damage we caused “” You do everyday what your plp does?? you mislead, misinform and miss represent the truth everyday to the public, and for that I have to ask! Do you have any shame???”

You know it’s terrible , I do agree . Many storefront windows boarded up all over Front Street . St.Georges still a ghost town . Weeds , grass all along the roadsides , branches from private yards and estates encroaching the road breaking bus windscreens . Murders , robberies , home invasions , sex in the public , policeman engaging in sex crimes. .

Airlines cutting runs , busses cutting runs , under employment , low employment , no employment . Economic refugees running to England , house roof tops grey and black , paint peeling from government buildings , roads in disrepair , big blue GP cars with private license plates all over the place twenty four seven .

The big airport giveaway , two hundred and forty year leases , house for sale signs everywhere .

Who is running this Island ?

As far as the “sex act” at Cup Match, hasn’t anyone considered it had been a foreigner / visitor who’d committed it? For real, if that had that been a local bie’ don’t you think someone should / would know him?

By: serengeti

serengeti — Fri, 25 Sep 2015 17:56:29 +0000

Why should the Premier get involved at all in the Cup Match act? It was hardly the Crime of the Century. And yet Roban has, several times in the media, tried to make an issue of it. He wants an APB put out, and “facial recognition software” used. He watches too many FBI movies, obviously.

The debt has not doubled. That’s a fact. However, it did increase by 10 times during the last 6 years of the PLP. That is a fact as well.

So stick that in with your pretend “concerns about misinformation”.

Truthfully hes right.

The premier did not condem the cupmach sex act nor did he apeak out public about the armed robbies and murders.

He should have.

He should have said “This bull**** needs to stop like now bedore I put my foor in someones a**” not like thay but alonf those lines.

The debt has doubled. Thats a fact. I dont see where the misinformation is coming from. Rabain neber said that he isnt doing anything about it je said hes being a phantom premier ie being silent. No matter what you OBAers say those are all facts.

Shadow Public Safety Minister Walter Roban said, “In the face of a recent upsurge in crime under the OBA …. You mean like when the PLP oversaw a massive way of gang-related murders….?

Tired of this nonsense — Fri, 25 Sep 2015 15:15:16 +0000

Sorry Mr. Roban I have to disagree with you on this one.

In no circumstance would I want politicians to dictate to our police on how, what, who and where to conduct their investigations.

In no way should our independent law enforcement be infiltrated by self serving politicians. That goes for any politician of any party.

That would be akin to the fox protecting the hen house.
