Are we to feel sorry that the Hospital elite are reduced to driving new oversized BMW SUV’s, the same size as the Limos? Must be nice to have such a golden package to assist with the shopping run. No wonder Healthcare costs are so high.

Clearly, the plp did nothing for your education, Patrick…you embarrass yourself, your parents and the plp. Best to stay in your lane, mate.

It’s just a lie…they don’t really have anything to argue about, and don’t know what “hypocrite” means.

The hype is real the voters will not be voting for oba/UBP boys. JETGATE Craig will be removed as leader again after he fails to bring home the T milk and secure a victory. He should start drafting his sorry goodbye speech now and release it to the public.

So let me get this straight. The OBA Chairman (Hollis) resigned over the JetGate scandal and CC was forced to also step down and this was over a contribution that was not communicated well?

Ok then pigs do have wings! Thanks for clearing JetGate up (not).

Which Jetgate? The one involving Craig, or the original one involving Dr. Brown and millions of tax payer dollars?

Read the article, and educate yourself, take off your blinkers. Jet gate was not public money, it was a donation for the party that wasn’t communicated properly. As protocol was no followed, there was internal pressure and ultimately CC resigned. There was nothing more to it than that. The PLP are masters of manipulation and propaganda. This time they were called on it. Now we learn that the PLP and OBA have been working together over the pandemic issue. Yet where is your praise for that. Stop being a muppet and use your brain, have a little greater self respect and belief in yourself that you can have an independent opinion based on facts and not just believe the gossip, propaganda and noise.

Too bad he can’t apply the same standard to buying new GP cars…..this seems to be the first time plp have had a problem with spending taxpayer money. Guess they are banking on every voter being an OJ or a Patrick. 25 – 11 whoop whoop!

Does Burt think all public employees should be prevented from ever retiring or leaving, on the basis it might cost money to replace them?

Based on your poor grammar you are obviously a poster child for the PLPs dismal record on education! Enjoy your minimum wage as a result of failed PLP policies!

So if a By-election costs the taxpayer $30,000 I think it is fair to say that a full blown election would cost the tax payer at best 20 times that amount? So if the Premier is truly concerned amount unnecessary spending in these difficult times, he wouldn’t consider calling a snap election that could cost us a few hundred thousand – now would he! Ya cant have it both ways!

Besides why would the opposition party share information with him about who might be stepping down? Has the PLP every done the same?

Those PLP members of Parliament and Government MP are doing the rightful with their jobs and to help Bermudians for all economy cost for the jobs and to prevent any covid19 reasons. The most important those PLP government always help to all Bermudians to find the ways their life as patience through only in Bermuda islandwide better than ever as you knows. So I’m patient and humble and also respectful for PLP government does do well, thank you…

A total of 3.6 million was paid out at that time to three parties, why ask only one of the parties to pay back their share of the payment?

Um Mr Burt…….. people can resign their job whenever the hell they want mate. Considering you guys are in charge heres a thought, make the bi election cost less lol. Cut costs bro. Props where they are due in regard to your handling of the covid situation, but cmon man. U set the price. Just make it lower. No reason one constituency needs to cost 30K just to drop pieces of paper in a box.

Jet gate was private also and just because the OBA UBP didn’t get their slime hands on it they wrote a report and booted him as leader. Now you want Craig’s face to save the OBA aka UBP again lololol. The experiment is over the OBA is finished. We need a third party.

Very cheap and petty indeed. Ugly.

Yet silence from the GoB on the 100x that amount for their same sex Privy Council Appeal cost risk per:

‘OutBermuda has said it expects the government to lose and for the final bill for Bermuda’s taxpayers to be about US$3 million.’ (Source: NationNews 15.3.20 https://www.nationnews.com/nationnews/news/244395/privy-council-hear-bermuda-govts-appeal-sex-marriage).
