I’m sick of so many people whining and complaining about the America’s Cup and how it will “hurt” Bermuda. You can’t do anything about it, so just enjoy it, after all it’s probably a once in a lifetime event that will put Bermuda on the map and increase tourism. Just be proud that we can be recognised around the world- all eyes are on us.

An opportunity for SOME Bermudians.

This is politicking pure and simple. Let’s focus on the huge opportunity this event presents for Bermuda to market itself worldwide. This opportunity now lasts for just a few weeks – everything else can and should wait.

Hmmm wonder if there is time to set up a “hat check” for helmets.

Would you be taking this view if the shoe was on the other foot??

The suggestion is that he is doing this to be disruptive to Bermuda at a time when we have our hands full with a major opportunity. An opportunity for Bermudians. Which he seems unconcerned about.

It’s a serious point. You’re the one who should ‘grow up’.

Awesome now can the street vendors start selling knock off AC35 gear because the real ones are to expensive.

What is all the noise about?

Street vendors need a peddlers license, and anyone that serves food stuff needs to be inspected and licensed by the health department. Nothing has changed, the reason for this is to stop “Joe Blow’s Saddle Shop” from putting up a 40 ft banner on the side of his house…

Oh. Ok. So he should’ve waited until it was more convenient to the OBA and their super yacht friends? Grow up.

Surely by implying that marketing rules that are enforced at any large scale event (yes this is new to Bermuda, but not any where else) as “apartheid” is non constructive and if anything, hypicrital to the mission of CURB. There are plenty of white and black businesses out there and there are guidelines for them all to comply with, this is not a racial issue! Not everything is a black and white issue CURB.

@ Onion Juice . Moving a vote of no confidence bill in the middle of the Americas Cup, where millions will be watching us around the world is ambush politics.

Wel Burt just enacted that tactic.

Does that mean you won’t support the PLP anymore?

So you’re worried about ambush marketing, I’m concerned about ambush politics.
