“but Bermudians can’t get past …”

Make that “some Bermudians”. Most of us don’t care about such things as skin colour, sexual orientation, place of origin and the like.

Don’t think that you are absolutely correct but you are very very close.

“Could we just move on, please?”

I wish we could, but Bermudians can’t get past race, or hating the gays and foreigners.

If we disqualified every politician who’s said something stupid/insensitive/inappropriate/badly, we wouldn’t have a single politician in office.

Could we just move on, please?

Please show me these ‘hateful comments’ that Jones made.
Saying he supports Trump may not be a clever thing to do around here but it isn’t hateful.
And warning minors that inappropriate postings on social media may have repercussion isn’t hateful either.
So please elaborate.

So, after seeing Jarion’s response, why then did Marcus resign?

there were no hateful comments, stop making thing up. Please people, go listen to the whole video as recently posted then make up your own mind.

Was this man saying hateful comments? Not at all. To say he was making hateful comments is a LIE ! Why are the PLP lying, ask yourself that.

Noone cares about this, save for the PLP desperately trying to distract from their utter failure.

It’s always easier to attack the person than it is to respond to the legitimate issues.

all I know is …. anyone openly or secretly supporting Donald does not deserve to get my vote period.

“This next election will really tell us how many blind numpties we have.”

I doubt it. The OBA is not viewed as a viable opposition by most Bermudians. The OBA did not even field 36 candidates in the last elections if my memory serves correctly.

Another PLP victory could simply mean that most Bermudian do not see any viable alternative.

The OBA bloggers can distract with the other issues, but the bottom line, is does Mr. Richardson condone Mr. Jones’ hateful comments? Does he endorse the candidacy of Mr. Jones?

Also makes me wonder why there were no candidate announcements around any of the OBA candidates. Perhaps they nor the leadership wanted to have to field any questions.

Is their strategy?!?! Lol my god. They are so delusional. They’re trying their best to push their rabid base to the brink aren’t they? This next election will really tell us how many blind numpties we have. They can be counted by every vote for these corrupt power mad people we call a government.

LMAO ? Really , Ms. Hayward Bell ad the PLP want to point fingers and question someone’s record? LOOK AT AND QUESTION YOUR OWN LEADER! He is our poster boy, your hero!

Do you support him and wheat he has done and said? What has he done for this country. Name one thing about Bermuda that has improved under his leadership? Just ONE! Let me help you. I am tired of hearing election BS, don’t tell me about what you are going to do next time you are elected. Tell me what you did while you were elected and getting paid the big $. Your big accomplishments seem to be Sugar Tax! Yay , how has that worked out? More duty for government meanwhile consumers pay more. YAY! Oh, and passing a law raising the minimum wage? So again, employers just raise the prices on goods they sell or lay off staff! ? Yay? C’mon, surely, one of the PLP cheerleaders and F&F should have no problem telling us what they did. With 30 of their own voted in Im sure they can tell of of at least one improvement per ministry per year? Not to much to ask – is it? One thing per year per ministry?

Education ?
National Debt?
Tourism?
Road works?
Public Buildings?

Clearly this whole article is to deflect from the article where the opposition are asking about the court deal.

Lauren,

Our roads are a mess, the causeway is a mess, the swing bridge is a mess, the grad Atlantic is a mess with millions upon millions thrown at, the SP is a mess, should have been open for this past season. We are 7 billion dollars in debt and have nothing to show for it.

The person or you are trying to destroy intentions were absolutely sound, we need the education and want to know what govt are doing about the rise of social media, smart phones, the dangers of AI. How is the Govt helping parents, schools. What program has been developed? Why are there no ads on YouTube or social media platforms warning ?

WHAT HAVE you done with $7 billion Lauren?
