Not a Bermudian backer. Was a Bermudian partner. Danilee Trott former event planner from Corporation of Hamilton.

Premier Burt did not “lose” our money, he gave it away.

So 2 ministers resigned over partying without masks on, Burt needs to resign after losing 800k on the taxpayer money.

Who mentioned race? Not me.

Merely pointing out how a vote for the PLP is a vote for more failure.

One was our tax payer money, that Burt gave away., the other Was a donation from an overseas person, which didn’t even get into Cannoniers hands.

Why is Burt trying to weasel out of this. This I would never have happened if he hadn’t made it happen. Time for Burt to refund us our money and stop blaming others.

the Premier at the time resigned over the matter. A principle that no one in the PLP – Dr Brown human trafficking uighurs and now Burt with accepted incompetence and naiveite similar to Cannonier – would do. A big difference is that Cannonier was badly advised by the AG and another lawyer. Brown and Burt acted on their own by their own admission. Burt continues to show his naiveite and needs to resign.

The Bermudian partner was Danilee Trott. If you google her name and Savvy Entertainment it comes up as she was the company’s Chief Operating Officer (COO).

So who is the Bermudian? I’m a tax payer and this information should be released as it was public funds that funded it. And yes if this was the OBA there would be marching and protests so don’t go there. All anyone has to say about OBA is jetgate…say something else and no not the airport. Shouldn’t the Bermudian be held liable for the missing money? Let’s see how much the PLP are for the ‘people’ and name the Bermudian.

He was removed by his party for being dishonest after a report was written. Now you want to trust him to lead Bermuda. Your own supporters are saying he needs to go.

Other party member where dismissed for a lesser fault.
I guess an apology fertilizes the money tree and makes it ok.

National debt now increased by $12.31 per person. Total now $48,223.67 and continuing to rise with no end in sight. I guess everyone is resigned to the fact that Bermuda’s debt is what it is and that’s that!

Bermuda’s character, values and principles have gone out the door. I suppose the USA is rubbing-off on we Bermudians. FYI, America’s national debt per person is estimated at $78.5k.

When you look at national debts around the world, no-one seems to care. Politicians justify rather than manage budgets to attain surpluses overtime to eliminate the debt. Wishful thinking, right?

Based on everything you write on Bernews you hate anything and everything black, which includes a black government. It’s know wonder the only person who is crazy enough to lead the obaubp is Jetgate man.

Go right along and vote for the leader who received 350k from a hotelier that was for the OBA party. Which we all know the OBA didn’t receive.

So do the voters call that a dishonest trust issue or trickery?

I understand all the negativity and am not debating that this was a terrible decision. BUT I have so much respect for a leader that puts his hand on heart and admits to being in the wrong or making a mistake, rather than hiding behind “spin”. Remember – nobody is perfect and we’ve all made terrible decisions that we thought were good decisions at the time. Leaders of countries are more exposed to public scrutiny and will make larger errors.

I do not vote PLP because I find them discriminatory, but my respect for this leader continues to grow through his actions.

Sad thing is none of this even matters…they will still get voted back in by the sheeple…and nothing will come of this.

Faith Based Tourism, The Black Mayor’s Conference, Beyonce, Playboy Mansion “charity” scheme….there’s a history of vanity projects with minimal oversight and a total lack of accountability.

These on their own would just highlight a naïve and incompetent government. But when you layer on the mismanagement of the Port Royal revamp, Heritage Wharf, Berkeley, The Emissions Testing Facility, The Grand Atlantic then you start to see a trend of fiscal incompetence.

Then throw in homophobic and xenophobic rhetoric, the demonization of ex-patriots and you can see how the PLP have destroyed Bermuda in 20 years. They are the status quo. It’s on them.

Let me please point out something that came to mind as I heard the Premier speak on this matter, The Hon Premier said that this money was never guaranteed to this foreigner with out a Bermudian Backer, but the Premier never said who the Bermudian was or is, but the American persons name is out in public domain.so I have a few questions.

1) Who is the Bermudian Guarantor (Backer)

2) Is The Bermudian Guarantor being held responsible to also pay back this money, in full or partial because they would have had to have put up some form of security, to secure the loan.

3) What collateral was used to Guarantee the loan and can we as tax payers cash in on this collateral from the Bermudian Guarantor.

This seems to be a situation that has to many loop holes, and I for one didn’t hear the story when it was first published in The RG in 2019, so to hear it for the first time and listening to the Premiers response, as a tax payer I have questions, and I know the Government will be reading this post, so please answer us the Tax Payers.

If he gets it, he should resign. By the way, if you put in the cost of the sweet heart real estate and associated renovations, the real figure is a lot higher than 800k – all so Jamal could have his personal party piece and play big shot. He needs to go to and as he is opposed only by the FDM candidate in his area, I think there is a good chance he can be. Ms. Storie, get out there in 32 and canvas, canvas, canvas…

In the real world he would resign. In Bermuda he’ll get a building named after him. Total farce. And all the sheep know they’d be marching on Parliament if it was not a PLP SNAFU.

“Let me elaborate on this point, this project would never had been a consideration without a Bermudian in the equation.”

Why won’t you tell who the “Bermudian” is?

So he admits blame but tries to deflect to past financial fraudulency? Burt is in way over his head.
