20 years of inaction would suggest that the PLP, actually don’t really care. Think about it. 20 years of decline and failure.

Exactly. They had chances to make changes and didn’t.

So this Primire’s party has been in power a few times and what have they done about racism not a bloody thing. All lip service.

Racism and prejudice is experienced by all races not just blacks. In order for all of us to come together, listen and heal truth needs to be told and acknowledged.

No! I was there Sunday marching for the same things you were. The question is, are you going to hold the political leadership of Bermuda accountable? Be honest with yourself.

I’m sorta disgusted with the PLP ! It took for an American to murdered in his own country for Racial change in ours . They’ve been in control since 2008 and now I hear the Premier talking about dismantle of Racist policies on our law books . When will we stop being house birds No wonder they were Afraid of Dr.Brown . He knew how to organize and centralize . From here on in all I can say is Educate yourselves !!!

People like you are the very reason people like me are shouting BLACK LIVES MATTER! Take your knee off us we can’t breath. You have no respect for people of color and don’t feel a black man can perform just as a good as a white man. This protest around the World has taught you nothing.

Very likely. Every press conference is like a taxpayer funded pep rally.

Must be because it’s the second time Bermuda has seen whites and blacks stand strong for the same thing. The last time was the status for all which voted out the oba/UBP.

And if we get a sudden wave of Covid 19 cases in the next couple weeks, I know exactly who to blame – starting with The Premier and The Commissioner of Police, both of whom have shown themselves to be more interested in pandering to the moment rather than protecting the health of the populace. It’s interesting that a guy can be fined $3,000.00 for free diving to put a lobster on his table while harming nobody and yet Sunday’s event is not only allowed but applauded. While many of us, myself included, are busy checking our privilege in the days ahead, perhaps these two gentlemen can take a few moments to check their vanity.

Can this mean that we are beginning to see each other as people and are willing now to try to work on supporting each other and strengthening our community instead of ripping ourselves apart.

I want to believe….

Fine.
Now stop politicizing the Covid 19 updates and stick to the subject.

He is playing a very good political game isn’t he, and is the luckiest Premier in history.

He was grappling with the failure of his Crypto Currency initiative, failure to deal with Immigration reform and an economy in chronic tailspin. Not to mention, failure to tackle gaming, education, transport, trash collection… etc etc. An administration unmarred with success.

And then he gets handed two golden balls! COVID 19, which he has handled admirably, and the George Floyd inspired BLM movement. His political capital now couldn’t be higher, and we’ve all forgotten how boned the economy is and was and he has something on which to blame twenty years of PLP failure.

Question is..what does he do now? All the stuff mentioned above is good…but where’s the money coming from? Who is paying off the debt? What is the economic plan? Is there one, or are we going to have to rely on weed?

The fact is, we’re exactly where we were in February.
