		<description><![CDATA[&quot;They stood arms in arms to prevent legislation that they felt would give thousands the ability to work here without work permits.

They left their churches because they knew that legislation would have damaged their children’s hopes and aspirations for a better future.&quot;

Just because you keep saying this, doesn&#039;t make it true. We all know Comprehensive Immigration Reform is ten years too late. And we know those marchers were lied to, and continue to be lied too. 

We know the island is dying economically because of the stupidity of protectionist polices. WE know what was presented on Friday, while being a start, was woefully inadequate, doesn&#039;t apply retroactively and should have been a quick easy fix to address anomalies within the current legislation. As such it demonstrates why the PLP couldn&#039;t run a piss-up in a brewery with leaky barrels. The sneaky way the December retail figures were released late Friday show how adrift, inept and cowardly the PLP are. 

Brannon should not have used the language he did, but the core message is the same. The parliamentary PLP group are failing Bermuda daily, and their inability or unwillingness to act is nearing the point of no return. Someone needs to ask COG Mk2 how much longer Bermuda can afford to support it&#039;s debt burden given the demographic abyss we are facing. 

Close to 20 years of failure. This is the PLP&#039;s legacy - how they destroyed a country in a generation. That should be the focus of your outrage.]]></description>
