If the Bermuda electorate can’t see through the engineered damage being created by this political party in power, then unless they are voted out, Bermuda will never recover.

Scary times Bermuda, scary times indeed.

I partially agree with NO MORE WAR…

Truth be told the throne speech while traditional is only for sweet words and dress up and to make promises they can’t keep.

This is what the taxpayers’ get for $150k a year?

But somehow the PLP couldn’t find $15k for Bahamas relief?

I am neither PLP or OBA. I am for a government that puts Bermudians first and does good for the country both financially and economically. It is so funny that I saw straight through the PLP’s false promises before they were elected in. I knew they were saying what they needed to say to get their feet back in the door and it would all change once they were in. The premier needs to go and a third of his party. I am so sick of hearing about the UBP and the race card. UBP doesn’t exist anymore so move on please. PLP needs to know the same people that voted them in can vote their lazy, high spending, cost of living increasing and rule changing butts right back out the door. I say it’s time for Bermudians to stand up to this half a** government and do more protesting and let them know we WILL NOT stand for their ignorance or maybe it’s time for another election!!!

You never voted PLP. If you did you would realize that many black voters departed from the UBP which you’re not. Instead of the UBP trying to deal with it’s racist past you and people like you changed the name to oba. Stupid stupid stupid!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Now you have the weakest leader in the oba, who the PEOPLE don’t trust!!! Save yourself another failure at the next election and replace him fast…… maybe the PEOPLE will start to listen. Until that happens SHUT UP!!!

it is so crystal clear that the plp are lost and have no idea what to do , the delay in letting us know that there is a plan to turn our economy around ( don’t believe there is one ) because in the end it wont matter about ” this is what we promised to do if elected” as the country will be in the toilet and all the so called wealth will be devalued ..so go ahead and continue to support these clueless wonders and stay silent ..its only going to get worse that’s not a blind threat its already happened and its a reality

Minister Jamahl Simmons said, “It seems as if the OBA is just the Party of “No”

“No to a living wage. No to affordable healthcare. No to putting Bermudians first.

THAT’S BECAUSE YOUR PARTY CLAIMS TO BE FOR EVERYDAY BERMUDIANS BUT YOU’RE PRICING US OUT OF BERMUDA!!!

By: What???

What??? — Fri, 25 Oct 2019 11:52:28 +0000

Are you serious jamahl? Your party has done nothing but increase the cost to live here since gaining power!!! That is a fact. Please miss us with your deflection

I don’t even know why we have a Premier he can’t make real decisions anyway. So that’s probably why he’s made this decision. It makes him feel all powerful but truth be told the throne speech while traditional is only for sweet words and dress up and to make promises they can’t keep.

No, No, No! Sound familiar Jamahl? The PLP own the “No”. We Bermudians deserve to hear what our government’s plans are. We would like the opposition to debate your plans OPENLY and hear the replies. Ms. Jackson called the PLP anti democratic and accused you of making up rules to suit your agenda and you never answered to that. Instead you resorted to your very typical and immature babbling which I think is aimed to deflect from the issue rather than face it head on. 25-11 but don’t be so smug we are still looking for good governance.

“One day they are whining about being forced to cut short their summer vacation for a necessary Parliamentary session to do the people’s business.”

Dear Minister Simmons, what people’s business are you referring to? Where can I find a record of that session please?

What amazes me is that Simmons himself is a UBP/PLP, along with K. Swan, W.Furbert. Yet they always want to brand the OBA as UBP/OBA. Lest they forget they all vigorously attacked the PLP when they were on the other side. Now all of a sudden they have had a conversion experience. I DON’T THINK SO! It is a selfish agenda hiding under the wings of the government of the day. And yes I am a PLP supporter. But I don’t condone persons of either party that speaks out of both sides of their mouth.

Is Jahmal really accusing someone else of whining? He frikin invented whining.

Why doesn’t the Minister for Nothing answer the serious questions being raised?

Simmons has made two comments while collecting a ministerial salary
Not a bad return on a nothing job

Jamahl, you do realize the election is over now and now this Government needs to start acting like a real Government. No one is seeing any results and our economy is in dismal shape and yet your still in election mode. Just proves that your very good playing politics but horrible at running this country. But hey, then again I’m not a Minister without a Portfolio collecting a full time salary for doing nothing. Great if you can get it. Enjoy life at the trough.

The Minister of Propaganda speaks!

“No to a living wage. No to affordable healthcare. No to putting Bermudians first.”

Two years of failure and incompetence, higher taxes, declining retail sales, declining economic confidence, declining population, increased cost of living and an empty suit premier.

PLP failure.

Hard to imagine a more infantile response from the Minister Without Portfolio. I think he finally wrote something himself.

So the oba give a blow by blow factual account of what has happened and the plp give a 12 year old’s response – apologies to 12 year olds

Your agenda — Thu, 24 Oct 2019 23:06:51 +0000

You said a mouthful Jamal! You said “our agenda” which means the “Premiers agenda” and not the “people’s agenda”! You work for ME (and all other Bermudians)! You better get your arrogance in order or we will rise up and put you out!! And I am a proud PLP supporter but you are making a mockery of my trust!!

By: 2bermudaz

So no answer to the issues the oba raises just puerile rhetoric and we are paying this guy 150k for this bs?
