LOL just a tad bit late for that! Unless of course one has really low standards I suppose.

In Oct 2022 Burt told Progressive Labour Party delegates, at a leadership debate as his place at the helm is challenged by Mr Dickinson, that the Fairmont Southampton deal “has been done”. “The deal has been signed. What we are doing is getting to the closing process, which takes 45 to 60 days.”

Now we are being told 2026

I do not doubt that it will eventually open, but can you really say that the CURRENT PLP should be governing this country given the lies, misdirection leading to a concrete megacity that will be the Condos putting greater stress on an infrastructure that has been left to crumble in favor or handing out mere crumbs to Bermudians appease the crowd while enriching self.

I wonder if that drop was factored into the loan agreements.
