“The Foreign Secretary and the Minister for the Overseas Territories, will continue to engage directly with the Overseas Territories, including during the November Joint Ministerial Council and in future visits to the Territories,” Minister of State Stephen Doughty said.

During the British Parliament’s session on September 6th, Conservative MP Andrew Rosindell asked the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, “whether he plans to visit British Overseas Territories within the next six months.”

In response, Minister of State Stephen Doughty said, “The Foreign Secretary is keen to visit the Overseas Territories, where diary demands allow. The Foreign Secretary and the Minister for the Overseas Territories, will continue to engage directly with the Overseas Territories, including during the November Joint Ministerial Council and in future visits to the Territories. In August, the Minister for the Overseas Territories met all of the elected Leaders of the Overseas Territories via video call.”

    Well ! Well ! WEll ! Is that not a very sorry state of affairs, it could be worse, if learn that they will eventually get round to dealing with the Colonies, if and when the can find an empty space in the diary ,
    ( the village book of Jokes and Trivia )
    or when it is not raining over in Liverpool or the Manchester ship canal and presumably in between golf games, after the mountain snow and “water board” skying excursion in the French Alps.
    With respect to extending all political courtesy when they get here? a day trip on the # 7 buss ,including visit to our Aquarium to see the Penguins and also to the empty Parrots enclosure, not forgetting the Mosquito breading hatchery would be a nice treat, and then if time is available in the tight schedule on to St Davids to go paddeling at Clear water and participation in a Tea and Crumpet party with Pokeahantis.
    Do you remember going back a few years where some of us enjoyed that very hilariouse educational ministerial B.B.C. TV program mired in paperwork and inexactitudes.
    ” Yes Minister”.
    if we pray long and hard enough they may bring those clowns back and if we are fortunate get a repeat.,after all it was funny
    Over there in Good Old Blighty , it was not uncommon to take the micky out of their political representatives .
    Can any one tell me why our leaders do no wear pinss tripe business suits with waist coats. and Bowler hats ?

    BLOGGS Old Boy.

    We are all British as a result of being born here out in the middle of the ocean .

    Bloggs , I did not think that relation had gone down hill that fast and become that bad here who pushed the button in this country where there is so much love going on here .

    I guess we all have to hate some things as many don’t realy know why or what for, that must be the larest trend .

    If it were not for the British back then investing their money in Bermuda , then again you would have to work with mortgages in a bank here to know failing that ,we would all be still living in tents.

    A few Bermuda people are presently living in a row housing on the dole in Liverpool down by the docks for a better life.

    All is not lost, just slightly broken the names on our war memorial at the cavinet office S.E. corner tell the real story.

    Mr. Bloogs .
    What are we going to do if the brits tell us that they are going to get us to be more than willing accept a few thousand of their imigrants .
    You know,spread the joy !
    I got it !, Plan “A” we turn off all the landing lights, including the bathroom toiler water and ceiling light ,
    un plug the R.A . water heater or install a timer, release the geese and a small fox terrior and pretend that nobody is home .

    There is always Plan “B”. Privalages almost the same as what they left behind .

    Issue pasports, drivers licenses , voting privalages, give every body a free class G pink KIA , plus free gas free for 6 years , two years free medical , free bus tickets.
    Last but not least, a free chain saw . They can have two cats and one canary . Additional options join the Army or W & E . landscaping dept .

    BOT’s
    Please allow me to give a brief over view of what we the people of Bermuda have been described as , above as an Overseas Teratorial citizens and as a brief reference to the people who reside in foreign lands under the control of Great Britton , we are widly know today as Brithish Overseas Teratoraties short version B.O.T. or individuals in resisence as B.O.T.s. if there is more than one of us .

    We are sitting on our terlet under the watchfull eye of a Governor. ” God bless her heart”.

    The way I look at it as a presumption I and the rest of my buddies can go over to the ” Isle of man ” walk through the front door claim my nationality as a B.O.T. bein one of the same sit down and say . Whats for dinner?

    Like wise the Isle if man, BOT -tenites are people. who can presunably claim to be entitled to and subject to the same privalages as here ,in our BOT land and say . Whats for Dinner ?

    I am normaly not that sesnsative but I do and presume my few friends also take exception to be refered to as a B.O.T Citizen in political circles .

    In geographical terms the island of B.O.T does not exist , it went wosh ! by the stroke of a pen .

    Dipolomacy people , take a gentle buy never the less a giant leap backwards.

    To add insult to injury our beautiful island affectionally know as Bermuda and slso known as the oldest and by going all the way back to and from 1609 as a British Colony being initially abandoned by the Spanish leaving behind a few hogs is also now refered to as a BRITISH OVERSEAS TEATERATORY being bonded to another by the sweep of a pen.
