Jahstice: The UBP (now known as the OBA) who do not even pretend they care. They only care about upholding and defending this unequal and unjust system that was implemented which plays a significant role in our oppression. Also they only care about upholding, defending and protecting this predatory/vulture like capitalist system.

And if they said nothing you would still complain, your pen name is a disgrace for the cause.

What is evident is that you are condoning the spray painting, you support the hate messages and you and the supporters of the PLP are irrational and volatile, frequently displaying behavior that has no place in decent society. Recently there has been flagrant disregard for the law and the authorities by the combined opposition, beleiving the rules do not apply to them. Whether it be immigration, wild cat strikes or illegal protest, it is obvious now from enquirers that the PLP and their followers had the same disregard for the regulations and laws while they wrecked Bermuda for so many years, that attitude and disregard for decency continues today and poisons this Islands progress.

The day will come when the people have had enough of the likes of Yettb and it will no be pretty when that day comes.

Who said we base our vote off comments by a political party follower? What I said was as A MEMBER(That’s ME) of a family of swing voters,it leaves a bad taste in MY(ME AGAIN) mouth! BTW The OBA has not given me any reason to vote for them again as they have been full of empty, unfulfilled promises….just saying!!

The fact he went back to 2000 at least is a start for him accepting when a lot of the damage began…. well done OJ…. great progress…

As a member of many swing voters in my family…. we don’t normally base our vote off the comments by a political party follower…. just saying…. but yes, give credit where credit is due…. nice to see they got around to actually condemning the action which EVERY Bermudian should… better late than never I guess….

Ok Zendrive you are repeating yourself again…It wouldn’t have mattered if the PLP would have responded and condemned the graffiti ten minutes after the incident! How much are you being paid to be an OBA puppet? are they also paying all four of you…zevon, zendrive,serengetti and serengti?? lol

@ have some backbone.

The OBA have been working for Bermudians from before day one.

The PLP put the country in a crisis in a sinking ship.

We are no longer sinking but at the beginnings of sailing.

They said the same thing about Martin Luther King, Malcolm X, Marcus Garvey and de Black Panthers, but never addressed why these men spoke out. Whites were hanging, murdering, raping and oppressing Black people economically, socially and politically, but ALWAYS made the oppressed de vilian.
De more things change they remain de same.

Oh the plp statement is priceless. They are just shy of supporting it. They condemn the attacks on LGBT but that’s only electioneering…why no comment on the calls for murdering oba members?

Seriously, has Betty teamed up with Donald Trump, and are they secretly roaming the island at night spreading their hatred.one only has to wonder.

On a more serious note. Whom ever is doing this needs a weeks holiday in MAWI and a lobotomy.

Meanwhile, cruise visits are up, air arrivals are up, everything which stimulates a dead economy are positive, yet the PLP and their sheep can only stare at their navels and claim it was better when Brown was taking their land

Alot of what was written has similarities to the message put forward by the irritated Genie in his hate visit to the Island. Seeds of extremism have been planted in our community and the operatives are organized under the veils of various anti governmental organizations. We know who those organizations
and individuals are, they speak illogical retoric loud and clear to their following, enciting
behaviour that pales in comparison to even the most avid Trump advocate. We
see this irrational logic manifested everyday in these coment sections from the usual demigoges that dwell in Alaska Hall.

A person like you is dangerous and cant be trusted when you can blatantly lie about the PLP not condemning the graffiti about the OBA when it is clearly in the very first paragraph of their statement above! As a member of many swing voters in my family,who voted OBA last election on their promising platform,lies like that leaves a very bad taste in my mouth.No matter how much you dislike the opposition, give credit where due.

I don’t know how you read the PLP response to the threats on the LGBT community without reading the very first paragraph condemning the graffiti about the OBA….LOL UNBELIEVABLE SERIOUSLY!! I guess you only see and read what you want to read!!

what are you talking about? What did your precious PLP do for Bermudians? Outside of a select group of friends and family.

@ Bobby J

Curb and now Tweed are irrelevant so nobody cares whether they have anything to say. I think this is mostly an appropriate response from PLP but agree they should condemn death threats and no just anti-LGBT language.

“In a joint statement, Shadow Public Safety Minister Walter Roban and MP Diallo Rabain said, “The Bermuda Progressive Labour Party condemns the recent spate of graffiti targeting the OBA across the island.”

Either you cant read or you are dishonestly trying to mislead….fortunately people,unlike you, can read!!

Bit of a crap “well what do you expect” condemnation from the PLP.
Totally predictable and essentially saying hate is ok, just don’t use naughty words and threaten people.

CURB and the BIU will shortly be making an announcement about the high cost of spray paint on the Island. And of course the OBA are only complaining because this was written in black paint so they must be racist. If it had been written in white paint ….

Oh give it a rest Bobby, there’s enough hate in those messages of graffiti without you having to add to it.

Oh, please.
You mention derogatory comments about the P.L.P.
That disgraceful oba mentions that there is no place on this island for these threats.
Since this “group” came into power, they have done NOTHING for Bermudians but attempt to squeeze them out of existence.
That garbage will not work!!
Watch, wait and see.

One wonders where CURB, BIU and Rev Tweed are on this. The PLP are just saying that “derogatory slurs against the LGBT Community are not the way to express dissatisfaction or disagreement”. They are not saying it is wrong to write this about the OBA. Shame on them.
