By Any Means Necessary…

Posted in Announcements on July 26, 2008 | 114 Comments »

I’m just doing a little housekeeping, updating the local blogroll due to some recent changes in the Bermudian blogosphere.

A number of people have already criticised the decision of the Government to restrict access to free daycare to Bermudians only, excluding foreigners who fall within the recently worked out poverty line.

I was just surfing the local blogosphere, and became aware that there was a new Bermudian blog dedicated to discussing race and politics (which is pretty much universal for Bermudian blogs…).
Its run by Mr. Douglas DeCouto who ran for the UBP in the December 2007 election. In the run up to that [...]

More Labour Blunders

Posted in Local Politics on July 10, 2008 | 243 Comments »

I am still trying to catch up on the fallout from the march the other week by the TUC, the BPA and a division of the BIU. As I understand it the Government has conceded the 5% cost of living increase to the BPSU. I see this as essentially a victory. However, [...]
