The NOT fake facts are that had the PLP not put us in 1.5B of debt the OBA would not have had to borrow more (they didn’t ‘double’ the debt) to keep government’s doors open for business and take care of prior PLP obligations.

The America’s Cup made money for and continues to make money for Bermuda, Why can’t you understand such a simple thing?

The debt did not double under the OBA. It did multiply by over 5 times under the PLP though.

Usual PLP “facts”.

More fake news…you’re just butt hurt because the plp can’t or won’t do anything for Bermuda.

LOL@so….typical wall sitter, expecting handouts from the working class (AKA OBA)

Because they’re educated, and you’re not.

You’re a bigot, a racist and a homophobe.
You’re a sad little cretin…lol

Fair point, but don’t you get sick of the back and forth of you’re what’s wrong with this country sentiment.My only hope is if the people raise their levels of expectation from politicians and stop buying into the clown fest.

I guess you MUST be one of the “rich” down in DR, coming off all high and mighty!!!

The facts are that the debt doubled under OBA and America’s Cup was an exercise that cost the everyday Bermudian money! The rich get richer and soon there will be no middle class like in Jamaica! Good luck Bermuda. I left the island last year to pastures greener in the DR. Best decision ever!

Guessing you never read the ramblings of Chris Famous then? Is your attention span too short to read, digest and understand what was written?

Because they need to explain in English, but we are either too much info or not enough make your mind.

At the risk drawing the ire of onion juice I don’t think the plp are interested in bipartisan anything.

By: Retro

Both parties need to abandon this whataboutism style of politics. We are in critical need of a bipartisan plan to tackle the debt and pension problem. Opinion pieces like this ,while somewhat truthful, are not going to do one ounce of good. The electorate really should expect more.

TL:DR as usual… Why do the OBA think that everything is an essay writing competition?

Oba had worked vigorously to destroy some people..
Ridiculous ways of the oba led to their failure to bring about ANY positive change for ALL.
Oba only cared about themselves
May oba remain in its own background for a few decades.
