YiP! Agree,…should not represent sexual abuse at all in any country!!!!! What gets me, is that he posted this on his personal social media, thinking his so called friends would only see it and probably laugh…well, he’s just exposed himself as a person that should not be in authority to help all these people that genuinely need it. I’m not from Bermuda, actually thousands of miles away but I’m thoroughly degusted in him even filming this and posting it and these girls finding this on social media which will always be and their identity all over social media! !! He should be flying back to London and apoligizing personally…but it’s out there… and what did he get… a slap on the hand..APOLIGIZE TO THESE GIRLS PERSONALLY AND THEY WILL EXPLAIN HOW SEXUAL REMARKS IMPACT ON THEIR DAILY LIVES AND LEARN FROM YOUR MISTAKES..still disgusted as a mother to one of these girls after three weeks. That’s why stupid decisions posting on social media can be a persons nightmare. I hope you can learn from this Mr Caines. I’m the type of person who listens….

I am surprised that the Milkman has had nothing to say on this matter, even if only on the importance of pasteurization.

What the hell has Jesus got to do with this DUG? Whether he is a government minister or not it was an inappropriate remark. Please do not bring religion into this especially pertaining to someone who thinks his religion excuses himself from all transgressions. I’m sick and tired of people who do and say whatever they please and it’s alright because they believe in Jesus! Jeeeeeez.

He was certainly at loud, bombastic full blast volume. Course they heard him. And that is harassment. Posting it uncensored…that is very bad judgment indeed. Now the apology makes light of it. It’s not juvenile…it’s harassment.

Now all of you run out a make sure you buy some t*tty milk for when the canvassing starts again. Remember now – he’s lactose intolerant.

Serves you right Wayne Caines. lol lol lol.- and who the HELL wants to sit up and watch you laugh at yourself eating cereal anyway. How lonely are all your lives.

The only up part of this is at least when we see his travel expenses for this trip we know he won’t be lying about the meals part.

I think because a cereal cafe is an unusual concept for us living in Bermuda, it may have been a ‘hey let’s record what its like in this place for the folks back home’ moment.

What’s bizarre, and even excusing the fact that he found the remark funny, is that he posted the vid as if he was Joe Schmoe chatting with his buddies at a bar and not a govt Minister with a much greater public persona.

That’s what it’s like in business in Bermuda too. Different standards for different people. You can be absolute crap at your job but as long as you ‘look like’ certain members of government they’ll keep you on. They just shuffle the bad ones off to a corner where they’re not allowed to deal with anyone outside their immediate supervisor.

It was totally demoralizing to those of us that put in the effort to excel. Glad I’m out and working overseas where I’m rewarded for what I do, not who I look like.

Beware this wolf in sheep’s clothing — he is in our house and claims to represent the best of the Bermudian male.

Want to be a real man? Resign, get yourself into treatment and stay away from all women.

What you describe simply as a joke reveals more about how you view a woman and her body than any false optics you created through your community good deeds.

Minister Caines: What other behaviours have you forced upon women you work or socialize with because of how you use your power and privilege?

The internet is public, and as an elected official he should know better. But considering there is only one set of standards for one political party to follow i guess that makes it ok here. No surprise at all really. Stupid is as stupid does

If Dunkley acting in same ministerial capacity had said this to an black female employee, the island would have “shut down” and massive marches being organized to demand his resignation! And you know it. PLP/PC/BIU would have been licking their chops. The hypocrisy is beyond comprehension!
You can come up with all the excuses, like breast milk is for sale, and try to shrug it off all you like. You know that scenario would have had opposite responses.

What’s wrong here is NOT wanting to call out, or have consequences for, bad, crude, crass behaviour, in our families, in the business community, and in our political arena. THAT’s what is wrong here. How low do you want the societal bar to go? because it is pretty close to the ground now in many areas. And this would be an easy, fundamental move to focusing on “how we can actually raise our young man to be better and do better”.

His behavior demonstrates two things. Firstly and obviously it shows his true character namely that of a sexist misogynistic individual and that is bad enough. Secondly, and what is worse, he thought it was “fun” to post this encounter on social media. That demonstrates an utter failure in judgment. Is this the sort of person anyone would want making key decisions about Bermuda’s future?

It’s cultural. A certain segment of the population thinks it’s perfectly acceptable to make offensive comments to women, to whistle at them, to say ‘damn, girl’ loudly when leering at a pretty girl walking by, etc.
It’s totally classless and it’s unacceptable in most parts of the world.
But here in Bermuda there is a certain segment of the population that will makes excuses all day long, if the person caught doing it is from that same certain segment of the population.

I am appalled. Your sorry? Sorry you got caught after you yourself filmed it and posted it on your page. That is sexual harassment!! What are we to forgive everyone from know on who comments on a girls legs, her breast, her as*s or in your case “titty Milk” which is even more back alley talking then the actual word which is breast milk? You represent our island, the face of the people for our National Security. You need to step down I am sorry if it is good for politicians in the world to be held accountable, well you do to. You are suppose to be strong in your faith, now this. I am so ashamed and appalled at your conduct. I wait to see what the Government does for it will be my deciding factor as to who I vote for in the next election. I am glad you apologized but now you need to pay the price like everyone else for publicly humiliating your island by doing a wrong dead against those two women.

PLEASE SPEAK FOR YOURSELF. I understand that because he is a minister he is held at a higher standard. I also understand that he is human and without a sense of humor life can be pretty stressful (his job is stressful whether you like him or you don’t). I saw the video and a lot of hate mongers are just looking for fault….as a woman and a mother of 2 daughters also the mother of a young male, this is what I saw…..first the cereal box says cereal killer….really you don’t have a problem with that? and why would you? secondly yes he said but it didn’t sound loud enough for the cashier to hear and if you actually look without trying to find fault you would see that the cashier didn’t even look in his direction after he said it leading me to believe she didn’t even hear it..(he didn’t ask her for her “titty milk” either)…AND although he was representing Bermuda, he still has to eat….and from what I can see its not a fancy restaurant serving high level T bone steak and eggs that we as tax payers have to pay for….with all this hoopla about nothing I can see why Bermuda will remain in the state she is in and possibly get worse….you all are worrying about the wrong things and the right things you have no voice for…..sit down people and focus on how we can actually raise our young man to be better and do better.

Look, everyone needs to grow up and shut up. I dont personally like Mr. Caines any particular way, nothing against or for him. But this was meant to be a joke. So grow up. I side with Mr. Caines here, you all need to just get over it. Grown men are allowed to make jokes on their own social accounts. He did not say it publicly or on a government or police site. You all wanna turn our island into some police state like 1984 big brother. Give me a break. They sell breast milk in places, whats the harm in saying it a funny way?

Unbelievable. Not only were his actions inappropriate and an affront to all females worldwide, the fact is; that after making such a stupid comment he didn’t regret his actions at all. No, he thought that it was funny and posted it on social media. I was never sure about Mr. Caines, but I am now. Mr. Premier, and sometimes you have to make tough decisions, this is one of them Mr. Premier. He is going to safeguard the women and children of Bermuda? I would never trust him ever again. He has no regret for his actions, those are mere words to keep his job. His actions show his true mindset!

Where is that miserable band of Social Justice Warriors CURB? They seem to come out against every situation where there is the most remote minuscule possibility of racism, elitism, sexism, misogyny, privilege, etc. Here you have a powerful, privileged man saying an offensive, crass, demeaning comment to a working-class woman. Where is the outrage from CURB? Nary a peep from that group that gleefully trots down the one-way road of selective outrage. The hypocrisy from CURB, in particular, has always been on display – this is yet another example.
