You are exceeding targets because you are only spending $81 million more than you earned instead of spending $125 million more than you earned? Really?

In the real world that is not called exceeding expectation, it is called bankruptcy!

What light bulbs? Presumably Blurt is waiting for a member of the F&F to source bulbs from China for $1 each and then, miraculously, the same bulb will appear as $5 on the government balance sheet.

No experience and no clue. Still blames the OBA. Peanuts compared to the 24 years of the PLP. $3 billion plus in debt and nothing to show for it. Grand Atlantic has cost over $100 million and what is there to show? The Hospital wing, with insufficient beds at what cost? Taken in by his gullibility to showcase Arbitrade as a fine example of Fintech, and giving $800,000 to Savvy without any collateral. A reduced deficit? Bermuda needs new police cars, trash trucks, road resurfacing, 2 bridges, causeway and incinerator and the list goes on. Pure electioneering to get himself reelected as leader, and let the people eat cake.

Even when they tried, you gave thorough explanations and responses. You laid out the policies and initiatives and you explained the context for everything. Well done. Keep it up well past October 20. We got you!
