Dont look like Dunkley is afraid to go round de Union.
LMAO
Say it again!
Onion Sluice , I’m not a bit surprised that you would be surprised by that.
Was the invitation to the future leaders camp by “invite only”? I can’t put by finger on it , but it just seems like this isn’t a true reflection of Bermuda and our youth? Just asking because it appears that there does not seem to be equal representation amongst schools? were the kids “selected” based on a certain criteria? Or were some omitted? Is this what Burt means when he talks about two Bermuda’s?
I recall seeing an advert pertaining to this and you had to REGISTER if you were interested…..
Indeed! Onion Sluice and Burtie have a Bermuda in mind where it’s all one colour.
@No way Jose
There were ads in various media advertising the camp. It was open to all young people.
Amazing how Dunk can go to the UNion for this but not for a debate.
What is the difference?
The people who would show up at the debate would yell and scream when it was his turn to talk, I call them the “no no’s” they only want one side of a story. Mr. Dunkley is intelligent enough to know that – pity that you need it clarified.
Keep “watching” but talk less because it makes you sound like you are not up to date.
Good observation.
Mmmmmmmm
Two reasons. the issue (not wanting to debate) and it being election time (must be seen to have a relationship with the people).
