      Onion Sluice , I’m not a bit surprised that you would be surprised by that.

      • No way Jose says:

        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?

        • Whimsical says:

          I recall seeing an advert pertaining to this and you had to REGISTER if you were interested…..

        • bee says:

          Indeed! Onion Sluice and Burtie have a Bermuda in mind where it’s all one colour.

  2. Open invitation says:

    @No way Jose
    There were ads in various media advertising the camp. It was open to all young people.

  3. watching says:

    Amazing how Dunk can go to the UNion for this but not for a debate.
    What is the difference?

    • wahoo says:

      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.

    • Onion Juice says:

      Good observation.
      Mmmmmmmm

    • Silvery says:

      Two reasons. the issue (not wanting to debate) and it being election time (must be seen to have a relationship with the people).
