The last Givernor in typical British fashion was applauded and saluted but did nothing we read on paper. This new Governor is in a hurry and has introduced a new process having not even tasted a Degraff’s beef pie with mayonnaise or enjoyed his chip buttie sandwich. Will 2 people nominate like it is for a candidate in the General Election? Where the two parties and Bermudians consulted? Which are question consistently asked by the press and know it alls? Will all names submitted be published like it is for an election? Or we have to ask Pati Whitehall or Jinks? God save the King and may the heavens continue to bless us and the tailor be complimented for the white suit and plumed hat they wear and trash once they leave.
