    Bermuda has a real problem and Burt ignores it as presumably he has no means to provide a solution, nor a desire to do so. Housing. Very little new construction except for tax payer funded residences for expats or millionaires. Not so long ago, Bermudians married to non Bermudians had to get a licence to buy. Now the market is pretty open to anyone with money.
    Yet he goes to places like Davos to brag about Bermuda as a place to do business. Protests were held against the airport development, yet the same Bermudians do nothing to protect themselves from unaffordable housing. Why?

      “Protests were held against the airport development, yet the same Bermudians do nothing to protect themselves from unaffordable housing. Why?”

      And yet no protests when the PLP Government partnered with unknown people in a “public-private partnership” development of KEMH. Why?

      If I were you, I’d grab a chair and have a little chat with Robert King, the Opposition Leader, on Monday the 19th between 2pm and 4pm. Just casually let him know that your obaubp’s winning streak is about as real as a unicorn at a petting zoo.

    “Why?”

    Racism, bigotry, jealousy and revenge.

    • Hmm says:

      Is that why the OBA uses mostly black candidates for a majority White Political Party?

      • Truth says:

        How are white people a majority in Bermuda?

        Why is the PLP still trotting out their token whites? Do you know what hypocrite means? How about bigot?

        Another lie from another racist PLP troll
