		<description><![CDATA[it&#039;s simple,he has no option but to refuse or be recalled in disgrace and publically ridiculed after being sacked,he&#039;s a BRITISH Governor and therein lies your answer.

If you think for one second any British Governor is going to risk his career and go against the British Laws you are sadly deluded.

Quite frankly I wouldnt be surprised if he has been told already what has to be done.]]></description>

We have a long way to go on this issue and all other aspects of Diversity and Inclusion. 

It appears our politicians have ranked Diversity and Inclusion and people will continue to suffer as a result - they have created more second class citizens in Bermuda.

Perhaps they can explain to you that we are nothing without inflow of foreign currency.

Protesters were not peaceful that is why there has been no further noise. Glad you muppets cannot touch the airport you would find a way to mess it up and the proof is in your history and the findings of the COI.]]></description>

That money is percolating throughout Bermuda and people who have the energy are getting some. I do not think you understand how our economy works do you have an older sibling that has an education? Perhaps they can explain to you that we are nothing without inflow of foreign currency.</p>
<p>Protesters were not peaceful that is why there has been no further noise. Glad you muppets cannot touch the airport you would find a way to mess it up and the proof is in your history and the findings of the COI.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[Yes, all true about the OBA.  The Water Front deal still smells of corruption and it was only right for that to be rescinded.

The reason why furlough days were implemented and seniors didn&#039;t get a raise is because the country could not afford it.  

The Americas Cup was an investment in our community and it has proven to be an excellent investment indeed.

Unfortunately, if Bermuda wasn&#039;t so in debt we could have given our seniors more money and people would not have to have taken furlough days.  The reality is that furlough days and giving seniors more money gets Bermuda no return on investment.  We needed to host the Americas Cup in order to gain more money to put back into our community and it was successful.  I&#039;m sure you are intelligent enough to understand this but you&#039;d rather spread propaganda to the gullible.  It worked though, congratulations, 24-12.  You won and now can do as you want :-)  

When the island plummets then gather up every voter in the constituency that voted for Chris Famous instead of Bob Richards and looks to them for the answers!]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The Waterfront deal was a sham as outlined by the Ombudsman regarding the sham of a RFP.  If you really want to see dictatorship look no further than the stripping off the cement silos from the original owner 

How is telling people that finances are tight (albeit in a non-PC way) a sign of dictatorship?

How is setting up the Gaming Commission to be independent dictatorial, whilst the new Government who strips out the independence  not dictator like?

The OBA did not &#039;decide to use unnecessary force&#039; on &#039;peaceful protestors&#039; (which they were not).  

How is attracting an international sporting event dictatorial?

Do you view the hospital P3 deal in which we pay $30mn a year for 30 years to a private firm dictator like?  if not, why not?

In the space of 6 months the PLP has ripped human rights out of our immigration legislation, reversed gay rights and stripped the casino gaming commission of their independence.]]></description>

Lots of PLP politicians demanded answers and are still doing so till this day.  Your argument there is very weak.   

Yes, my personal life is unchanged by this proposed law but the country and people&#039;s livelihoods have been affected.  A weaker Bermuda affects all of us.  But carry on PLP, 24-12, you can do what you want.]]></description>

No one knows what the sexual orientation of their future offsprings may bring.  I find it dispicable for those that believe that sexual identity will not be knocking on their doors.  They care nothing about protecting the rights of the descendents of their futures.  This world is cruel enough without having to strike out at the rights of existing Bermudians as well as future Bermudians.  You are dispicable and without a doubt a coroaded lot if you supported this injustic in any manner.  And stop hiding behind the love of God.  He will not judge in your favor at judgement.  Prepare yourselves for the etermal heat you are choosing right now.  At least ut was your choice.  Sexual identity has none!]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Truly sad.

This is a shocking embarrassment for the PLP and Bermuda in front of the whole world. We&#039;ve made headlines across the globe, for all the wrong reasons. Millions of people will see what a narrow minded, uneducated step backwards we just made.

This is undoing lots of hard work done by many people over a long time. Bigoted, self-centered, homophobia fuelled by fear, misinformation and religious ignorance is something that ironically has multiple parallells to many other gender &amp; race struggles and painful memories of other kinds of segregation. 

All those thankful that they got their well deserved rights back in the past, but who decided to go out of their way now to remove rights from others, should be ashamed of themselves. We couldn&#039;t even rely on the senators to do the right thing.]]></description>
