Partial Reshuffle Of The OBA Shadow Cabinet
Opposition Leader Cole Simons announced a partial reshuffle of his Shadow Cabinet Ministers, which became effective on November 1st.
Mr. Simons commented: “In order to optimize the skills of my Shadow Cabinet Ministers, I have made a partial reshuffle. Ms. Susan Jackson, J.P., M.P., a seasoned and dedicated member, recently retired from her banking career. She was asked and accepted a new position as Shadow Minister of Transportation. She will also continue with her responsibility as the spokesperson for Education, in the House of Assembly.”
“Other changes include the transference of the Ministry of Home Affairs, including the environment to the Shadow Minister of Legal Affairs, the Hon. Scott Pearman, J.P., M.P. and the Shadow Ministry of Economic Development, which has been appointed to Senator Marcus Jones, J.P.
Mr. Simons concluded, “We take the view that these new appointments will further strengthen the current Shadow Cabinet and will enable the new appointees to maximize their skills and expertise and become more effective in serving the needs of Bermuda.”

They can reshuffle all they want but thanks to the divisive and hateful rhetoric of the last 25 years spewed by the PLP and the 30-6 we are now a de-facto one party state. Exactly what they wanted to achieve since the late 60′s regardless of the damage done .
King of the ashes !
Wow tell me how you really feel without telling me how you really feel.
“…thanks to the divisive and hateful rhetoric of the last 25 years spewed by the PLP…”
do you honestly feel this is due to “…the last 25 years…”?
“…what they wanted to achieve since the late 60′s…”
do you honestly feel this is something that started in “…the late 60′s…”?
always remember ~
Empires were run by Emperors
Sultanates were run by Sultans
Kingdoms were run by Kings.
We now have Countries run by…
As a pervious voter for the UBP and later OBA I can honestly say folks that preach like you are the very reason I left. If 30 – 6 doesn’t teach you anything the OBA will continue to fail. The UBP which I voted for was famous for dividing black Bermudians against each other. Thus the very reason you always posted a black leader in charge a 98% white party to sway black votes. The OBA is doing the same play style today and the voters are tired of it.
You would think the voters would be tired of 22 years of failure. A country circling the drain.
But then, as Gearge Carlin once said, the average man on the street is a moron.
Bermuda beware of this retarded racist troll blogger.
Who’s trolling? And who mentioned race? Merely pointing out that there’s no-one left to blame. Bermuda is failing at the hands of the PLP, and Bermudians keep voting for it.
That fact that you refuse to look at objective reality and that you resort to petty name calling, says way more about you than it does about me.
LOL it’s the pot hi kettle…..
LOL LOL LOL LOL
What part of Sandgrownan’s comment was not TRUE?
What part was racist?
Facts is facts, mate. Truth hurts.
(Your use of the “R” word speaks volumes about you… do better.)
I support the OBA and the blogging that sandgrowan writes is even sick to my stomach…. The majority of us in the party are good people and you must remember every circus has a clown.
Sick?
I’m not even a member of the OBA, nor was I member of the UBP, FFS.
I’m merely pointing out that Bermudians continue to vote for failure. And that’s stupid.
There’s no one to blame. The failure is all on the PLP.
PREVIOUS!
The Titanic will float again before these clowns win. We need another party with the best minds from oba and plp to start a new party.
If all the crises of this modern day don’t elicit more meaningful responses from us, I would suggest that we are doomed to learn these hard lessons the hard way.
Clearly how we are managing our affairs and our country is not working and I would urge us to look at how we can be more unifying in our approach to each other and subsequently in our individual and collective plans, policies and practices.
I am suggesting this will be easy… but it will be critical.
100% Agree
