I think the whole of Bermuda, needs to know, how we stood while Britain was a part of the European Union, and the likely impact following their exit, international business speaks well of our reputation, how about the rest of us.

That is folly ‘stunned – the renaissance can start at home. No more bleeding of the economy paying benefits to illegal immigrants for one – England being able to restart industries that were shut down because of the relationship with the EU secondly and thirdly the 350M per week saved via the taxes that GB has to pay…that is a new school per week – that is a new hospital per week, that is a new bridge, a new stadium, investment in technology – the list goes on.

What is it with this Borg hive mentality that thinks we must all be connected to “the mother ship’ to be economically viable? GLOBALISM HAS FAILED – you know why? Poverty is the worst it has ever been worldwide and the wealth gap is the greatest it has ever been worldwide – look it up for yourself – globalism has done nothing but make the rich richer and the poor poorer.

Here is some numbers for you – in the 43 years GB has had an association with the EU it has been profitable for them (GB) ONLY ONCE!

Exactly Payattention – we should be happy to wash pots in a country that our forefathers were forced into and bled and died for…people like “jus wondering make me sick and their time is coming – the world is waking up to the inequities foisted upon them by people of this ilk – they are evil and anti-equal opportunity.

And secondly “jus wondering” the Bermudians I have met at buzz kick ass – they are wonderful at what they do and guess what? I do not need an interpreter to understand what they are saying.

Silly predictable response just wondering – when you factor in what these foreign workers get paid in their local currency after conversion you would bet your ass a Bermudian would do that job.

Let me paint a Picture for you.A Thai national working here for lets say $750 pw is actually making 27,000 THB per week! Considering their rent (most of which is illegal considering how many stay in a unit) and food expenditures lets just say they send home $250 BDA or 9000 THB per week!

How in the world is a Bermudian supposed to compete with that fool? Pay me 27,000 BDA per week (the above established ratio) and I will clean a FUC*#ng toilet.

That is why foreign workers spell the death knell of economies – they drive wages down and send valuable revenues overseas never to be seen again. The wonderful people of England have recognized this and have said enough – the gates for sovereign national representation are now opening and we will be taking our country back at the next election – especially from un-elected leaders like Dunkley and Fahy.

TO JUS’ WONDERIN’:
You have TOTALLY MISUNDERSTOOD my message.
Bermudians who are ACADEMICALLY and abundantly qualified are DELIBERATELY being overlooked by MOST foreign bosses.Ask them. They will tell you!!
Bermudians who would have the potential to fulfill the menial jobs was not my point.
That was YOUR wrong interpretation of my opinion!!!!!

Why is it that every time someone tries to make an argument that there are jobs out there for Bermudians but “they just don’t want them” they give examples like cleaning toilets and washing pots?? ……as if we should be thankful for the opportunity! While those are honest paying jobs, is this what Bermudians should aspire to do while non-Bermudians with equal qualifications, or less, sit comfortably in higher level positions?? H*LL NO!!!

Those “colonial economic parties” have had forty years to forge economic ties with growing economies in little places like China and India.

Population of Australia and NZ = 30 million approximately
Population of EC = 508 million

Find me a handful of Bermudians that want to clean toilets when everyone else is sleeping for crappy pay and don’t complain and you WIN! I’ll wait because their are jobs out there WE as Bermudians just don’t want or won’t go that low because its a **** job, etc. Go work at Buzz, cleaning carpets, toilets, etc those jobs are open and I’m sure they would rather hire Bermudians, less paperwork, etc. BUT GUESS WHAT…..BERMUDIANS DON’T APPLY!!! Tell me why that is?!?!?

Nostalgically – in favor of BREXIT however it will be very challenging for Britain to revert to being Great Britain without renewing and strengthening ties with her former colonial economic partners. #mixed feelings #BREXgrets

Employ Bermudians. How can foreigners dictate, in Bermuda, who should and who shouldn’t be employed.
Practices in this area of work is being overfilled with foreigners and there are Bermudians who need positive work.
They are employable with skills that suit the job.
These unfair practices MUST STOP!!!

It is comforting to see the BDA and ABIR speaking to this today.

Many people are nervous and anxious to know is the Brexit good, bad or ugly? So much speculation today- here and around the world.

It will be interesting to see if these groups speak to the no show referendum yesterday held in Bermuda – will Bermuda now be seen as a safe or not safe community for LGBT employees of all the firms we want to attract to our island?

If a strong financial country like England can pull out of the EU, we can only aspect that others will follow . The desired formation of the Holy Roman Empire will only be achieved by inviting in the Papacy. All 28 nations have one religion . Papa is the only person who can bring about a union of nations in Europe .
