‘We don’t want racism here’- Premier Fahie
ROAD TOWN, Tortola, VI- As the world shifts its focus from COVID-19 to racial injustice, particularly towards people of colour, Premier and Minister of Finance, Honourable Andrew A.

Black Lives Matter march in Bermuda
Thomas C. Famous
When I first received the flyer for Sunday's Black Lives Matter (BLM) March/protest in Bermuda, I honestly did not think much of it.
Why?
Well, frankly as a black man who has been to many marches and protests, not much has changed for the better for black people.
Seen as a failure, RDA boss Paul D. Bayly in final days!
ROAD TOWN, Tortola, VI- Mr Paul D. Bayly, the man who came from New Zealand to head the Virgin Islands Recovery and Development Agency (RDA) and was paid some $300,000 plus a year, which is more than the Premier and Minister of Finance makes, more than what the Speaker of the House of Assembly (HoA) earns and even more than his boss the Chairman of the RDA Board Dr Robert A. Mathavious collects, is reportedly leaving the Territory tomorrow, Tuesday, March 17, 2020.
Ganja, Hypocrites and Social Racism

Greed knows no Gratitude - Were there not 10 cleansed? - Where are the 9?
Some things require change and we should try as hard as possible while others are impossible to change and we should accept that without traumatizing ourselves mentally and physically… My friend went to sleep last night and when she awoke, she was white and I went to sleep last night and when I awoke, I was black but that’s the way we are and that should never be a problem.

Lasting bad effects of Hurricane Irma:
Hurricane Irma is almost a year old and those lucky enough to survive still complain of things getting worse as landlords used the crisis to have tenants repair and rebuild their properties only to evict or overcharge them, especially when these victims have no means of defense – During the formation of the New Constitution, I argued for the inclusion of Public Defenders but that was omitted.

The Wicked flee when no one pursues:
My last Article was a teachable moment for Ms Jane and Mr What – This Article returns to our Bi-monthly Schedule at a time when the prospect of natural and man-made disasters rest heavy on our minds… The Hurricane Season is barely a month away, Government has not started their own recovery and the state of our Economy appears to be under direct threat from inside and outside.

This is no Secret so you are allowed to spread it:
Sincere thanks to VINO, BVI News and CBN Radio for carrying my ‘Truth for the Youth’ Messages and extra special thanks for those choosing to listen, read, learn and respond to the Information… Typical Blog Responders are invisible Persons with fake identities, loud opinions and a deep fear of being recognised so I avoid responding to them unless it can be used as a ‘teachable moment’.
Marching for the Commonwealth or just following the blind?

Only the Lazy & Misinformed celebrate before the Mission is accomplished:
Time is running out, we are still in the midst of Recovery Efforts and this is hardly the time to indulge in National Holidays we cannot afford and that only serve to push us backward rather than forward… Just a week ago we did HLS Holiday and we are now called on to celebrate Commonwealth Day and, while Persons appear quick to welcome these non-productive events, few know their basic origin or meaning.
