Yes, like when a small group of people silenced the elected MP’s, all the people who favored the airport development and all the people who still weren’t sure and wanted to hear the debate and made sure those voices weren’t heard.

You need to stop being so hypocritical, boy.

…as much as black Bermudians want to keep the racial divide strong, so they can continue their hatred, never growing up, and continuously playing the victim.

Erskine Durrant “Buck” Burrows was arrested. He confessed to shooting dead Sharples and Sayers. At his trial he was also convicted of murdering the Bermuda Police commissioner George Duckett on 9 September 1972 and killing the co-owner and the bookkeeper of a supermarket in April 1973.

Did his hanging make it right? NO. Did spraying the people with pepper spray the other day make it right? NO. What is the solution for Bermuda? DISCOURSE….REAL DISCOURSE…SOLUTIONS THAT WORK FOR ALL BERMUDIANS!!

We all have our opinions and those opinions should be respected by others even if they seem outlandish at first glance. Every one of us has, to a degree, a unique background and upbringing which has formed that opinion.

We need to spend time building consensus around the islands major issues such as education, the shrinking population and balancing the budget. One parties view is most likely not correct based on past performance and the correct course of action for Bermuda and her people is most likely some ware in the middle ground. We need to recognize this as individuals and demand the same of the government and opposition.

Further thought, for Bermuda to be successful in the long term we need a big and strong middle class. The best way to build this is world class education. In general the government education system seems to produce substandard results regardless of which party is in power, who the minister of education is or who the education commissioner is. I suggest over time we move towards an all private education system with the cost subsidized by the Bermuda government. The size of the subsidy per child depends on household income from 100% at the very bottom to 0% above a certain threshold. The private schools already work and in time as the infrastructure develops every child could get the education they deserve and the demographics would open up with obvious social and professional benefits. Remember the inputs for both the private and public systems are the same, kids!

If anybody is interested the June 11-17 2016 issue of the Economist has an excellent special report on education which is applicable to Bermuda.

To which you are a contributor

I pay for services that are not met! I Dare Say, that the leaders of this uncivilized action, be charged with obstruction.

Everyone talks about blocking the gate. What about Bus Ferry Trash collection. This is illegal!!!

Where are the warrants

I read it over a few times, I can’t find one argument.

Not (race). It’s lust for (power)

No need for a survey!!

Secondly: perhaps the other 60,000 of us have no issue with progress and certainly job potential. That is why we went about our business. Unlike, obviously your self. Who went out to deliberately to disrupt the PEOPLE’S business.

It’s got nothing to do with (race). We had over a decade of plp rule. Which then turned to ruin. Now they are so hell-bent about power, (at any cost) they are willingly destroying our reputation and democracy..

Greed not Race!

The one thing I would disagree with you on is that PLP was made up of brightest and best. Simply for me if they had been the best and brightest this island would be in a much better place on all fronts, but this is mearly my view.

I look forward to a conversation, it is hard for me to see how to fix things within our society without the view from the otherside.

Really? that’s sad. Perhaps you should take advantage of the free education available to you, then maybe you’d understand the big words, like what privatize really means, and how it’s not happening with the airport.

They were murdered after hours of gruesome torture….read up on what was done to them, I won’t repeat it here. It was disgusting, A hanging was too humane for those panthers, for what they did to these two men.

Comparing this to an illegal protest about a new airport is f’n disgusting.

This only works because backed by Canadian Govt ratings, meaning debt is much cheaper.

It means transferring ownership of assets from the public sector to the private sector.

The airport will remain an asset of the government of Bermuda for the full 30 years and beyond. It will remain on our balance sheets, I’m not sure how else to be clearer. The airport is NOT being privatised, despite how many times the PLP use that word.

Truth not narrative.

Well done Liana. I will encourage many to read, particularly our young people.

This is best article I have read so far, in regards to the recent historical day of December 2nd 2016.

Thanks Thanks thanks!

Love you

THIS RIGHT HERE!!!!!!! Put this on BLAST!!!
