Off On Research Trip

I realise this is going to cut down the discussion here, but I leave tomorrow to do some fieldwork pretty much for the next two weeks. I’m off to Kenya and we’ll be in and out of the bush, and I’m not sure how much internet access I’m going to have. I’ll do [...]

Disappointing

I have read over the reports in the RG today detailing correspondence and other documents relating to the construction of the new Police/Court building. The information seems quite detailed, and I am afraid they appear ahrd to refute, although I would like to hear the reply to them from the various agents involved in [...]

I certainly share Greenrocks enthusiastic support for the custom duty relief for solar panels, mini-wind turbines, smart elctricity meters and compact flourescent lightbulbs that I read about on the Bermuda Sun website here.
Personally I would argue that we need to go further, perhaps adjusting property taxes to encourage greater implementation of these technologies, or even [...]

New Battery Technology

Initial Look At Auditor’s Report

Well, I’ve had an initial glance over the auditor’s report, as per the link provided by VexedBermoothes. I’ve also briefly read over some of the statements in the RG.
I want to stress that I’ve never looked at an auditor’s report before, so I am definitely not familiar with what they should look like, you [...]

Tea Time

I’ve decided to end the whole thing about the sports award. Well, sort of.
You see, I’m willing to believe that Mr. Burch was not sidelined for public criticism of the Government. I’m willing to accept that the issue was handled horribly by the Government, so horribly that it left it open for interpretation. [...]

Follow or Support?

Below I’m quoting a comment from a ‘Micheal’ which was posted in the thread ‘Reprehensible’. I don’t know who Micheal is, but I think his comments are no doubt shared by many within the Party. Because of that I’m going to reply to him fully here.
