It should be called the UBP/PLP.

Perhaps the PLP should tell us why they are so utterly crap at everything and why everything they touch turns to crap. Have a look at today’s retail figures.

A bit of self awareness and more people would take them seriously.

Will someone please ask Minister Roban for me if along with my vote he is also taking away my obligation to pay rates to the City of Hamilton?

I remember it well. They specifically removed the right of ratepayers to vote (which meant only residents could do so) and then went and ferried up the Salvation Army residents to vote in exchange for a coffe and a doughnut.

Soon afterwards the Mayor, who had to go suit shopping at the expense of the City for a decent suit, handed over hundreds of thousands of dollars to host a black mayor’s conference that anyone with an internet connection could see was an idiotic move. Those same people actually held a press conference to show how up front and honest they were, before leaving the island with the cash.

Then came the Par-La-Ville hotel debacle. 18 million went poof! The PLP attempted to re write history and to pin this on the OBA after they moved to end the Nightmayor. But the signatures on the transfers were not OBA signatures. They sent the funds off hoping to benefit from the investment income that was promised. And just like the Black Mayors Conference, those guys took off with the cash too.

Tucker’s Town was not the only land expropriation in Bermuda’s history. If you ant to raise that issue raise it in respect of all land expropriations, even the ones that affected white people.

How many times have you heard of the St Georges or Hamilton corporations not being able to tell you where they spent their money……OR…. who they gave it to!?

Show us one shining star. The corporation of Hamilton and St George are much more effectively run. They should be taking over other government departments.

I URGE ANY PLP OR OBA SUPPORTER TO GIVE ONE EXAMPLE OF A GOVERNMENT RUN DEPARTMENT THAT IS EFFECTIVE, MEETS IT GOALS AND WHERE YOU GET GOOD , FAST SERVICE! NAME ONE PEOPLE!
