Exactly. She opens up her ‘response’ with childish name-calling. We deserve a more serious government than this lot.

Just like the Dems empty promises of handouts that only make it to friends and family while BLACK and white families fend for themselves.

“Fairytale Fahy hasn’t changed.”

One might hope for more dignity from our Minister of Home Affairs.

This comment has only one direction. Deflect. This analysis lacks substance, as does the weak arguments put forward therein.

You do realise that with the exception of 2013-2017, “The Bermuda Government” we have currently has been in power from 1998 to the present day, right?

So exactly why then is it that these many “social issues/ills” are only supposedly being tackled now, given all the time there has been to address them within that timeframe? Did the PLP open their collective eyes all of a sudden in 2025? Are you suggesting they’ve been asleep at the wheel all that time and that those providing due criticism of that are “keeping pots boiling”, as you put it?

Lol. Divide? The lack of self awareness or hypocrisy is absolutely stunning from some PLP supporters. lol.

Mr Fahy only has one direction. Divide. He offers complaints lacks substance as do his many supporters.

The Bermuda Government are tackling many social issues long ignored but some only want to search for divisive statements to keep pots boiling.

We are in this predicament because both parties have ignored too many social ills for too long. Can we separate ourselves from global politicians and work as a unit for the people of Bermuda? We have numerous troubles here forget what’s being negatively done in other countries. It is on these our focus must remain

Well said MP Lightbourne may you have continued success in your dedication to the people of Bermuda

Not one of my expenses has become cheaper. Not food, not electricity, not gas. Not one.

So take your baseless assertions and accusations elsewhere.

“Much has been done to arrest or alleviate the cost of living.”

I am curious, what do you say has been done to alleviate the cost of living in Bermuda?

My position for many years has been that Bermuda has a limited ability to control prices, because almost all consumer goods are imported and we cannot control prices in foreign lands.

That is factually untrue. Much has been done to arrest or alleviate the cost of living. The cost of living would be even higher if the PLP had not done many of the things they have done.
Don’t let the truth get in the way if a false narrative. It’s much better for the OBA and your supporters to continue this perpetuation and make it political. You don’t want any reduction in the cost of living. And we know why.

“Mr. Fahy, what does it earn you to criticize a black Bermudian woman, who has worked hard, funded her own education, worked overseas and seeks to provide contribution to her island?”

So because you are a black Bermudian woman you expect to never receive criticism?

What a weak response. You, and your Party, have done NOTHING to alleviate the cost of living burden for Bdians on a long-term basis! But hey at least you get to travel on our monies to far flung destinations.

“So we lead. We govern. We deliver.”

A highly questionable statement in a stream of very defensive statements.

The PLP leads and governs. Indeed, but how it leads and governs leaves much to be desired, as it all too often doesn’t benefit Bermuda as a collective whole.

As for what the PLP delivers, that is truly a mystery. Outside of propaganda, I’m not really sure what the PLP delivers, and it seems Ms. Lightbourne doesn’t either. Otherwise, she could site metrics or measures of success and performance that would speak to that directly.

Seems Fahy’s criticism struck a nerve and it shows.
