Comments on: Premier Burt On Government’s First 100 Days https://bernews.com/2017/11/new-government-the-first-100-days-beyond/ Bermuda's #1 source for 24/7 breaking news, photos & videos Sat, 11 Apr 2026 01:54:02 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.7.5 By: Ringmaster https://bernews.com/2017/11/new-government-the-first-100-days-beyond/#comment-3553777 Sun, 05 Nov 2017 19:48:44 +0000 http://bernews.com/?p=698280#comment-3553777 Guess what? Bermuda is finished totally. The PLP have one chance to carrying on the economic recovery the OBA had achieved, reducing the deficit in 2012 from around $300m a year to $130m. Their behavior since July 18 indicates they are back to spend and borrow to make their electorate happy and think they are being cared for, and hope they can tax IB but that is looking very shaky now.

I would further add that all the rhetoric that has come from certain ministers does not encourage new capital investment at all. Combine this with diminishing human rights and increasing spending and the size of government and we are at the top of a slippery slope.

Except for a select few, I think that was obvious so what is different having been the Government for 14+ years? 14 years of ignoring Bermudians and now you praise them.

The PLP are currently losing jobs and increasing debt for Bermuda so let’s see how that puts Bermudians fist.

However not one has created a job, new or existing, for a Bermudian. Committees and more committees is all that has been achieved, and of course immigration laws that have lost Bermuda jobs. Don’t hear about those unless you’re in the know.
All while this activity but nothing achieved has been going on, a new proposed tax bill is being considered in the US. Further away Singapore is creating thousands of new jobs in insure tech, while Bermuda is asking for ideas. Why is new Bermuda still in the 1960′s?

Have you lost it?
If the people of this country cannot dream to live in prosperity and peace in their own country, then what Business do we have worrying about if other can?
Whats worse is to act as though we are crazy for Beleiving that Bermudians should be first and formost in their own country! This was neglected by the previous Gov’t hence the reason they are back where they belong.

Is this guy out of his mind? What the hell does he think the PLP have been doing for the past 8 years…!!

The PLP needs to take the word Labour out of their name. Labour, almost by definition is a union based, left wing organisation. However, the ‘Bermuda for Bermudians First’ rhetoric being pushed on the country by the PLP Government is a far right wing philosophy reminiscent of Enoch Powell back in the late 60′s.

Unlike those other jokers who as soon as they got in they did a 360 on everything they campaigned for.
This is de first time that I can recall that a Government in Bermuda advocates and endorces BERMUDIANS FIRST. I know you Trump supporters dont mind it, because you have de same sentiments back where you are from.
And before you gi in ya xenophobic deck Bermuda is only 21 square miles unlike your countries where you have millions of foreigners and still have work available for the natives and thousands of miles of land to inhabit.
