Stop it! Just stop! You do realize were the only idiotic countryside still counting this crap! Nobody cares!
Speak for yourself only, please. I do care.
Even Biden admits the pandemic is over.
Now ask the experts, such as Dr. Faucci and Prof. Whitty, rather than a politician
A pair of liars.
Dim Wilson’s role has now ended. The TAF has now ended. Please let Bermuda get back to normal and let visitors, cruise ships etc in and get Bermuda working again. These restrictions on visitors and emergency powers requiring residents to ask to travel are the work of a Dictator and need to stop.
Why is Bermuda listed with 22 of the worst regimes in the world, when we should be leading?
Will Curtis scrap the TA and present an emergency budget?
Our Covid response has veered from the sublime to the ridiculous.
Patently now all about a Government that can’t pay its bills.
This is all so unnecessary, let’s get on with life.
