Ask yourself who put stirred up the emotions and rallied people to block access? The police have nothing to do with the OBA, yet the PLP are that arrogant that they put the blame on the OBA to try and stir up emotions.

What was it all over? An airport that has been proven to be a good deal for Bermuda and Bermudians as the PLP commissioned report indicated.

Yet they blame the OBA for the incident…..People are waking up to what the PLP truly represent, and it isn’t them or their interests.

In 2012 David Burt was attacking the OBA for promising to reign in spending and move the budget into balance. It’s astoundingly intellectually dishonest for the PLP for now be blaming someone else for not fixing their mess quickly enough.

That is the nature of “them”.
Typically finding glorification in nothingness..oba has Dunkley and Cannonier to thank for their rubbish philosophies in dealing with Bermuda. Neither were educated enough to do much good.
Track record… oba…. grade F!!!!
Total blunderers.

The PLP is a joke. They have the crust to keep blaming others. They smashed this country blind during their 14yr stint and brought it to its knees. OBA brought in some much needed foreign investment and stopped the bleeding. Now we’re on downward spiral again…

OBA were a bunch of morons! Paying twice the cost over next bidder to have a boat race and instead of using Morgan’s Point they build Cross Island to fill coffers of their friends!

The OBA has much to be proud of. They brought Bermuda back from the brink. And 18 months later the plp is taking us to the brink again.

“Flawless” David Burt put the lie of the OBA doubling the national debt before the election; PuLP fiction same as the the People’s Campaign

Which one was better? The one that grew debt by 7x in seven years, spending $400m a year more than it collected, and spending $100m a year on foreign consultants?
It’s not even close.

PLP really? Actually this is the Minsiter of Propaganda writing. The fact is PLP is bringing Bermuda to its knees and when they have to grant status they will spin and spin. They are all full time Ministers? Half of them do claim jobs and income from other places!!! Pathetic Lying Party at it again.

To the detriment of Bermuda the jobs created by the PLP seem to be in the Civil Service. More debt. The private sector jobs are for expats not Bermudians, as in another story the Minister is quoted as saying he has a massive backlog of work permit applications to clear. Go figure.

Come on PLP where are your jobs? Why are you raising living costs with your new taxes? Why are you increasing the size of the civil service?

It’s a sad state of affairs in Bermuda everyday watching people suffering one way or another whilst their own live it up on huge salaries they don’t deserve.

Not quite – don’t forget the 12 ministers and the overall increase in ministerial salaries

The debt increased under the OBA – it had to because the OBA was forced to borrow more to pay for the deficit it was left by the PLP.
If the PLP does not think the debt would have increased by the same amount if they were in power then they are being delusional

You are right. It is simple – all many Bermudians know is that they are taking home less money today than they did 18 months ago. All while basic living costs are going up. Spin that one Pee El Pee!!

I’ll say it again: the only person better off under this Pee El Pee gov’t is Ewart Brown!!

Oh dear, oh dear .. the PLP has been in power for 17 months or so, and this is the best they can do? Do they actually know they are in Government?

Our national debt has climbed to what in less then 2 years?

I noticed the PLP failed to address one point raised by the Opposition.

Guess it is hard to spin an economy that is in a nose dive (don’t have the convenient global recession excuse anymore).

Can any PLPer please explain on how hiking taxes on the population will be beneficial to attracting much needed foreign investment to our shores or will assist in bringing down the cost of living for the average man on the street? Their plan on hiking foreign currency purchase tax by 75% will be paid for by all consumers as each and everything we consume is imported using foreign currencies.

PS: PLP lost 2,000 jobs in 2012 alone. The OBA stopped the bleeding. Facts are facts.

The debt did not ‘double’ under the OBA. It doesn’t matter how many times the PLP say it; it is not true. It did not happen.
Debt did however increase by 7x (way more than doubled) during the last 6 years the PLP were in.
The OBA did not spend $100m on the AC. Nowhere near it.
And it was not the government that ‘pepper sprayed seniors’.

Why is it that the PLP always resort to lying? Are they incapable of winning a discussion based on the truth?

Wow, wow! The PLP is STILL behaving like it is in Opposition! These guys are clueless!

So, according to the PLP, the OBA pepper sprayed seniors?!

It’s laughable. Clutching at straws.

The economy is contracting.
