Thus the BIU involvement. Give them a day off work and tell them to go protest. It is a signal…like the flipping Bat Signal to call Batman.

The silent majority have jobs. You may not. You may be retired. Who pays into to the retirement fund? Not Government workers, they take out. No private sector, no taxes and no pay or pensions for the public sector. Economics 101.

@ van Martin,

Exactly, this is and has been a calculated move, part of a master plan even. All orchestrated by some seriously evil and unscrupulous people who desire power at any cost.

Bermudians had better wake up fast or be prepared to take the licks that’s surley going to be coming. This time we won’t be so fortunate to have a competent govt turn it around in four or five years. Under the plp in it’ll likely be continual decline.

OJ. Why don’t you try and think like Dr E Brown? Does he complain about the past holding him back? No, he understood how to use the system and reap the rewards. For example, how often was he seen on Court Street with the masses versus Mid Ocean Club and rich people?

Look around you and try to get ahead, not stay living in the past.

2] Mr. richards has got the best deal for the new airport. Let’s do it now !
3] 80% want Tweed off the island. Get cracking !

I don’t know if to laugh at or cry for the PC? Do you always want to be wrong and strong?

The PC must really think their world would be better under a different government. How quickly they forget who created the mess we are in. Remember when the BIU would have wildcat strikes under the PLP for firing individuals who rightly deserved it. Inconveniencing thousands of Bermudians at the drop of a hat. I get that the BIU have to represent their membership right or wrong. How the PLP spent tax payer monies on friends and family plan in capital projects that went way way over budget.

Where was the PC or better those radical community activist then? Will these radicals exist if or when the PLP get back in? Or are these the benefactors of the friends and family plan? I believe their aim is to be the ones to build a new airport, so they can call it the Rev. Tweed International.

No one ever blamed the PLP for the global recession, the fault lied in how the PLP reacted to it… or lack of reaction to it. Through their failed policies, Bermuda fell behind and lost our competitive edge, businesses left… not went under, not down sized, but left and sent jobs to other juristictions, more competitive juristictions. And PLP reacted by make us even more nationalistic and less competitive… Bermudians first… the PLP failed and put Bermudians out of work and further behind.

Others who went into recession in 2008/09 were out of recession in 12-15 months. Some didn’t enter recession at all. Bermuda was in recession for 7 years, despite the Cox promises about how ‘any minute now we’re turning around’. It was the PLP who got us into a recession that lasted almost a decade, and more than 6x longer than our trading partners. It was the OBA that got us out of the recession.

Those are the facts.

And if the USA wants to, it could put us out of business. And you lot will ignore it, like you did last time.

Been saying this for 26 years since I left my beloved home.

It’s all about them.

They had it all and even us poor folks had a bit and worked for it.

Gonna be a banner 8 months for Bermuda and then the rubber will never meet the road nor the vessel make a wash or the black tire marks make an impression at the east end.

Best of luck and take care.

Onion Juice, while you are at the meeting can you add to the agenada “Where did our EIGHT HUNDRED MILLION DOLLARS go”. Surely the Peoples Campaign would agree that $800 million missing is much more important than the matters that they listed as urgent? Surely, the Peoples Campaign would want to know where the Peoples Money is – wouldn’t they?

And the bonus would be that they would have access to the same people at the meeting that have the answers.

But we all know this little to do with Urgent Matters and all to do with one mans power struggle. The sad thing is that when the membership back him on things like Tweeds permit – its kinda like the boy crying wolf. Eventually, the villagers stop believing and get tired of those false crys about a wolf.

Foolishness. I am going to work. If my Granny blocks the Government from doing its business again pepper spray her and lock her up. If there is one thing the PLP listened to it was Doctor Brown’s message of a sustained campaign of misinformation. They have no platform nor plan to run on. OBA’s plan is to try and get money into this island. PLP trying to block that money from coming in. Don’t get it….

If anything the PLP have adopted the Republican practice of opposing everything no matter what and manufacturing scandals.

They’re homophobic and anti-immigrant like the Republicans too (unless the immigrant is their friend).

Ex President Bill Clinton said, and I quote, “It’s all about the economy, stupid”. And he was right, and the same applies to Bermuda. All the negative antics from the PLP since they were turfed out of office has been geared to making sure as many Bermudians suffer as possible. Block job creation, keep people unemployed, generate a negative attitude towards everything. It’s standard Socialist/Communist tactics. It’s their only chance to get re-elected. They come with their own agenda, and it doesn’t include us, the real people. The only way to stop it is to expose them at every opportunity, and destroy them at the next election. So everyone needs to support both the Government and the projects underway. That way lies prosperity for all Bermudians.

Happy for anyone preventing someone going about there lawful business to be pepper sprayed. Was in the airport yesterday – yup I’m favour of redevelopment . And as for Tweed, if rules were not followed, his permit gets denied.

The hypocrisy of this campaign is unsurprising although they are so concerned they won’t meet on a holiday!

Totally agree Ringmaster.Similar to what happened in 2009 & 2010 international business are in the process of implementing their exit strategy planning. This is a fact.
Within 3 years over 75% of those employed in IB could be gone from Bermuda forever or unemployed. Think about what that means to the economy. 1200 apartments with no renters- 30 million stripped from retail sales of all types and the economy in general each month. Thats just the beginning. Think seriously if you believe in civil unrest because you are only putting the final nails in the island’s coffin.

The silent majority expect the police to do what they need to do to allow the majority voice to be heard. They did nothing when the same protesters stopped public meetings for the airport, pathways to status and the first blockade of The House. So the protesters clearly thought they can continue. Arrest those who are breaking the law. The silent majority will support the police, and it is up the the police, who are mainly Bermudian, to do so by whatever means the police feel necessary. If you don’t want to be sprayed and arrested, don’t break the law.

But the recession worldwide was cause somehow by the PLP….

“We have jobs we can’t just protest when we want”

And if you mean fighting rememeber this…
