Could this be part of the new world order scheme ? One world govt. Allowing foreigners into the country as residents could be only the beginning. What about getting our govt so pissed that it turns us into a police state. Police training for riots all over the world on the rise. Even in Bermuda. I thinks the govts know that things to come will have people causing “Kaos” so their preparing for the public to become combative.

Lord forbid but what if the gang violence shifted to the politicians and police. Bank and shop robberies are one thing but what about when that doesn’t work and govt still isn’t handling people correct? Other countries turn right up. Props to this lady for coming up. I’m not about that life. Govt I’m sure would find a way to put me up MAWI.

Citizenship is only a human right when you don’t possess status to any country, that is not what’s being argued in favor for by the Pathways to Status. Bermuda is not violating any human rights when it comes to immigration so stop spreading this false message.

Having Bermudian status is NOT a human right.

“So anyone who wants to come and join us please, this is for everybody in Bermuda who calls themselves Bermudian.”

except of course, those who have called Bermuda home for more than 20 years and are just as Bermudian as anyone else…

hypocrisy anyone?

this is the problem when one fights for a wrong cause, those doing the right thing will not sympathize with someone fighting a modern day immigration policy that violates human rights. Not even 3rd world countries has this outdated immigration policy that bars its long term members from acquiring citizenship. Her action is out of ignorance and being out of touch with modern changes.She is just riding on her emotions . PLP leaders know this change is long overdue, but who doesn’t know that desperate politicians can call a red color green as long as its politically expedient.

This lady should be ashamed for failing to embrace change. She and others like her are stuck in the past, even third world countries have gone past this shameful and unfair immigration policy of treating people that have diligently worked to build this island. If this hunger strike and resilience were demonstrated in advocating for a good education system in Bermuda, she wouldn’t even be in the streets hunger striking. All the marvelous jobs would be occupied mostly by Bermudians.

Yes the initial KFC comment may have been an innocent joke but the ones that follow certainly were not and am not assuming anything I can read just like you can and am sure you see what I see,but its clear you have never been on the end of a white persons racist comment or joke….

It is and that’s why it keeps being brought up. There are many racially veiled comments made all the time here by both OBA and PLP supporters although PLP supporters are a bit more upfront. OBA supporters will say things like Bermudians being lazy and inept but what they really mean is black Bermudians but wont say it that way so that they can accuse PLP supporters as the only ones being racist.

The bill will pass in parliament on Friday or next week. Will this bring an end to Ms. Matthie’s protest? The government is not going to change , nor will it pull back. How committed are you to this action? Are you prepared to go all the way? Yes , to place your life on the line. Only you can answer that. Or have you set a line in the sand as a means of personal accomplishment for yourself? After one week, the body is convinced that you are not going to feed it, so it begins to make preparations to shut down, or go on the defensive. After two weeks, you won’t desire food. Three weeks, you are becoming one with yourself. Four weeks, and your true spiritual journey is just beginning. Here you are finding peace with God. It is here, that you are able to forgive the Premier , Minister Fahy and all the OBA for not listening to your cause. This is no small step. My prayers are with you.

Thank-you to this lovely lady who has taken a peaceful stance. Very commendable. I am not sure as well if the wheels will turn with any expedience in her favor. But good for you showing your resolve so close to International Women’s Day. Others should take note instead of doom and gloom rhetoric.

Good News, you have a nice spot picked out for May 24, Cup Match camping week and Remembrance Day. Stay hydrated. it is going to a be a long hot summer.

No, nothing to do with race…that is in your head which may speak to what is in your mind.

KFC is just a popular fast food place in Bermuda…stuff is very tasty indeed…although I haven’t had any for awhile, if put in front of me I’d most likely not decline despite my diet and exercise, diet and exercise , diet and exercise.

Yeah and at the end of the day the dollar has the final say! These “FOREIGNERS” know where their “FOREIGN DOLLAR” is best invested! Don’t forget the millions in tax breaks! Stop with the threats, these companies are not DUMB! Some may or in fact have left BUT how many new ” FOREIGN DOLLARS”have been invested in Bermuda since!!

“…So anyone who wants to come and join us please, this is for everybody in Bermuda who calls themselves Bermudian.”

I am in Bermuda and I call myself a Bermudian, and I AM Bermudian, but I do not support this at all!! While I don’t agree with any of the comments above bashing this woman and joking about the situation, I think this is a very silly move. She will surely get into issues out there with all the things she’s striking for. I could take it more seriously if it was just one aspect she was fighting for but immigration and age concern and education and…..the list goes on. She is fighting a losing battle!

I hope her family are working hard to convince her to stop this madness even if they agree with her stance. She WILL NOT win!!!

And people have every right to say what they want also.

Her motives are misaligned with reality.

Those that have convinced her what she is doing is for a good cause have played with her mind.

That is nasty and disgusting.

Your sad to see the division- why assume that when someone says something about KFC that’s its automatically racist? Why not give the person the benefit of the doubt and see it as a harmless joke about food and a hunger strike! KFC happens to be the only true fast food joint on the island! Ever think of that?

No- because its so much easier for someone to assume negative intent and that a person is being racist! That’s a big contributing factor to the on going division on this island in this day in age!

This is what happens with freedom of expression in social media. For some people, they write whatever comes to mind and are not able to filter these rude comments. Some of them are just plain trying to be funny, but being irresponsible as well.
