He’s absolutely right. You lot wanted to shut BDA down between 2013 and 2017. Hypocrite.

Yes, & after at least a year it can go to Cabinet who will let it languish on their ‘to do’ list till it eventually gets sent to another committee for further investigation.

Sounds like a plan.

Could not wait to get rid of Kevin Dallas to devise his own little two bit plan. There are so many holes in this proposed plan that is ridiculous. First and foremost, because you run a construction company does not make you an expert in Tourism and Transport. Mega yacht owners are going to feel the effects of economic downturn like everyone else. Whilst not the same level of impact, it is all relevant. Price/value is alive and well. So why would I go to exhorbitantly priced Bermuda with all of its ‘red tape’ and anchor there? it is delusional. To think this is coming from an individual who ridiculed the OBA for the Americas Cup which injected $300 million into the local economy. Politics is a dirty business.

At the end of June 2017 the OBA, along with everyone involved with the AC, had left the PLP with a golden platter filled with opportunity to build on the goodwill & capability to create a reason to come to Bermuda for more than a fuel stop.

By the end of July 2017 that opportunity had been destroyed. The PLP, & their followers, many of whom had benefited greatly from the AC, made it clear in no uncertain terms that they were not interested in rich white guys & their boaty toys.

2020, along comes Desilva with his half baked ideas full of conditions saying he want the rich guys & their superyachts back.

You just can’t make this stuff up.

Wow this is all happening too fast shouldn’t we form a committee with sub committees that will prepare reports and recommendations?

So after destroying the benefits of the America’s Cup, this man is now trying to attract superyachts back again? Why would they ever come here again after what the PLP did? And these are our “leaders”? Jesus wept.
