Just been reading det PLP site yung progasseeves. Dis buy Dawid Burt eis summtin alz. Taulkin bout flegs ann Gummint preevalidge. It's bloody Government House ya fool. Not a Government building. They fly the Governors colors there and as a representative of the Queen....detz vat dey doo.

Uncle Elvis is taking shit over there and are many others. They keep comming up with these lame excuses and answers. What's Chapman et al gonna say when Sir Robin Hood Brown is caught out?

Where the hell did I put that cocaine that was left outside the Sessions House for distribution to members.

Progressive Minds? Propaganda minds.  Ewart, ya doing a good job buddy, a really good job.

Sir John Swan is abroad.Huh Come on. That's how rumours get started. Wink

Rummy - I've had a look at Regressive Minds once in a while and I have to say some of the outright hate and language is incredible. Even some of the PLP supporters who try to look at things with the proper perspective get called all sorts of vile things. This is a reflection of the future of Bermuda's leading party? My goodness.

This is a post by V for Vendetta:

"Yes 'beachryan', I am a black Bermudian voter, and I represent only ME! A joke to you? racism is no laughing matter! Everything I said previously is the damn truth, and you need to quit eating the feces of that old wrinkled woman, and get right with God! ...It's ignorant asses like you that perpetuate the suppression and the common illegitimization of santan-fuled discrediting of all validity of racism by whites."

And we had a problem with Alex Scott using the word "crap" on Tony Brannon? The Queen gets feces. Dame Lois must be real proud of this kind of language being used on her day of memorial.

Some people such as 30Strong, Makai Dickerson and Vanz Chapman are just so single minded in there outlooks that they have no room for anyone else. Vanz Chapman harrasses people every where he goes. On blogs, in newspapers, even at their work. He even goes so far as to pretend he's a shareholder so he can harass the companies that his targets work for. As an example of how he is willing to not only instigate and create animosity he even goes so far as to post emails from those he tries to rile on the Regressive Minds website in an attemt to discredit people. Here is something that he received back from Michael Dunkley:

"OPP. LEADER MICHAEL DUNKLEY LOSES IT RE; DAME LOIS
On Jun 4, 2007, at 7:18 PM, Michael H. Dunkley J.P, M.P wrote:

"...the Premier was in the paper breaking ground on a housing site which was purely political ...S!o do not give me all the "bull shit"! you and the PLP are merely playing the game of politics, and that is fine with me!... but in that game, if you give it you have to expect to take it!""

To which Slowhand called him on it and Chapman responded:

"RELAX SLOWHAND
i was simply fwding an email from the opp. leader - not trying to start a race war. (Strong Successful Black Man, King and All Powerful with the voter given right to do ANYTHING) what's your prob w/ black men anyway?"

Which then got a smoking response from beachryan:

"Surely he's right? Aside from unnecessarily swearing, surely his actual point is valid?"

If you go to the PM website and read Chapman's comments you'll never wonder after spewing such head strong and derogatory comments all over the place why companies might have second thoughts as to hiring him or working with him.

I think it's time the rest of Bermuda were exposed to kind of mindset that the PLP is creating for our future. There are some straightforward, honest and mindful people who are members and supporters of the PLP. Supporter and SamsonX amongst a few other come to mind. Heck even Guilden stepped up to defend Supporter from the vitriolic bombardment and demanded truth and honesty be the first priority. But if they are going to be bashed in for seeking good governance and substance over self serving rhetoric and ignorance then they, along with Uncle Elvis, should quit whilst they are ahead and take their show on the road and maybe find another party to support or help create.

been watching in on progressive minds myself and to be honest i find it's scary shit! the likes of Vance Chapman and V for Vendetta who are two troubled individuals - i find it ironic that V spouts off about religion and yet comes across as one of the most evil twisted persons i've had the [dis]pleasure of reading and VC - well talk about blinded!  I have to constantly remind myself that these two individuals are not representative of Bermuda as a whole but just a couple of twisted individuals that will never back down.  It's for this reason that i would never submit any view on PM.  I've seen some good posts over there as well from people who so obviously want the PLP to be what their hopes and dreams are and are questioning the Premiers history.  They don't accept everything with blind faith and are the sort of people that the PLP could do well to embrace and take on board.

Unless the Premier can prove beyond a doubt his innocence over the scandals that have emerged in the MON then he needs to stand down, failing that, the PLP need to have emergency talks and have him voted off - just as HE did with Alex Scott.

To my mind the person that for me personifies integrity and is beyond reproach would be Paula Cox - now might be the time that she is forced to stand up and be nominated as Premier - it might not be what she wants right now but i think that thrown into the deep end she will prove to be just what the PLP wants and also, with someone of her reputation as Premier, more people will vote the PLP back into power.

I admit that i have never been one to pull for the PLP - but only because of the underlying current that i perceive to be one of racial disharmony and very pro=black rather than pro-Bermuda.  I think that Paula Cox has what it takes to start people focusing on Bermuda.

just my two cents worth......................

Smokes and Valley, Karma to you both. Really, you made my day by your common sense approach and actual thought put into it. A true reflection of thoughts and I agree, it is a concern for all of us.

I was just doing some b/g research on VC.  I would have thought, by his posts, that he was a youngster perhaps in his early 20s.  He is no youth!... he is in his late 30s!... working in TO taking advantage of his dual citizenship.  Coulda fooled me.  Shocked
