In 1842 when the white govt brought in people from the UK and Portugal to add to the "white" pool, is that similar to the position of helping "people who look like me"?.

Ironic that some of descendants of those "white" portuguese are NOW PLP members and TODAY getting all the big/huge/largest govt contracts.  Why is that?  If they are not PLP or friends of Brown would these privileged whites still get the large contracts - over $100,000,000 worth just last year between DeSilva and Correia?  Lopes?

What happened to helping those that look like you Tigga?  

If whites are so angered at loss of privilege, why are these particular 1842 descent whites so privileged?  If the issue surrounding Brown is a race issue then why are these whites defending him?  Something to do with huge Govt contracts?  Are they free thinkers or compensated to think a certain way?      

I would imagine if you took a poll of Suckers you would find that Paula Cox is hugely preferrable as a leader over Brown.  So is it really skin colour that people are concerned with or the character of the wo/man?

Dr. Barbara Ball is no Zane or Jane and they will NEVER shine anywhere near as brightly and make a difference to the party or history.  They are in it for the money.  You cannot shine a sneaker and change their motivation...

And with all the gay people in Govt past and present you'd think that we'd see and introduction of legislation that would protect their human rights, considering we are so humanitarian all of a sudden.  Inconsistent, double standard and hypocritical actions speak louder than words.    

Bring on Paula Cox!  

At least Paula put us on the white list in a legitmate way through hard work and not "sucking up" as she put it herself.  Brown the dodgy dealer cannot help but put himself first, lie to the people, ignore cabinet and then turn around and tell them they are angry at their loss of privilege, and not at his actions.  

Freedom of thought and speech is a basic human right not a privilege.  One worth fighting and protesting for.  Just ask the Uighurs.  

We are protecting the Uighurs who fled due to their loss the privilege and freedom, and condemning our own people for their freedom of speech.  But our protestors are white so it doesn't matter to Tigga.  Not what you say, it's your skin colour that matters.  So old and boring.

Guess what Tigga.  The value of people's houses has decreased by up to 30%.  All houses with a white roof that is...   The economy doesn't discriminate and we have bigger fish to fry than this right now and you are just creating more division and not helping people in the slightest way.

I used to post way more often on economic issues and tried to raise red flags long ago on issues like an overheating economy, falling house prices and attacks on our tax and regulatory system etc.  Your answers are all the same - race, skin colours, anti-black, anti-PLP.  Well guess what, I am 100% PRO-BERMUDA and I will call anyone out when they try to mess with our future.  And that includes Dr. Brown.  So get used to freedom of thought from people who don't think like you!  It's here to stay!    
  

K2U Grats. Totally.

Tigs.... clueless in Canada... as usual. Sorry dude, you can't swing the economics cat of North America in a room the size of Bermuda.

not that long ago the ubp had 30 mps - now they have 12 - badness can't last

But Brown said we were unique?  Obama was not a threat - "electioneering".  We are special.  Nothing was to affect our "bread and butter" industry of ins/reins.  Invesco exhibit 1.  If he's so smart why didn't he see it coming?  Why spend and overspend knowing we were going to be in recession?  Concerts, BMWs, bling and the plantinum period of tourism.  Joke!
Now he's scratching his ass and kissing Obama's looking for favours.  Uighurs was the best he could do.  Smack in the face to Paula's hard work and now we are a joke on US news & talk shows.  Political joke he is. Can't run a ministry and can't run a country.  He lies to the people and then tells them they are complaining because of their loss of privilege.   Meanwhile the US laugh at us while we feed detainees ice-cream thinking that will help with Obama's new tax policy.  Another joke.  

My point is - Brown sucks!   Bring on Paula.

Nothing to do with race.  Nothing to do with party.  BROWN SUCKS!  

Grats...

I hate to say this (because you know what I am going to say), but they need to experience it to understand.

If it doesn't hit them in the pocket - they don't understand. Sad - but true.

This might sound crazy as a Bermudian but can someone tell me who David Burt is? Never met him. I figured him for an older guy but I found some photographs of him and he appears to be in his early 30s running an I.T. consulting firm. He's the Chairman of the PLP. How'd he get that role?
