Letter from Bermuda: Corrupt, incompetent Gov’t outdoes itself with Independence Report

Last year, the Progressive Labour Party government of Bermuda commissioned an ‘independent’ review of the issue of independence from Great Britain.A committee was selected to investigate the matter that was loaded with bias in favour of independence. Two of its members were the loudest, if least coherent, proponents of independence that we have. One of these two, Dame Lois Browne-Evans, is so opposed to Britain and reason that she has repeatedly counselled Bermudians not to take advantage of the British passports on offer to all Bermudians. The Dame’s track record on such matters is far from perfect. Having for years shouted her views that black Bermudians should refuse to accept any honour offered to them by the British, whom she views much the same way Castro sees the Americans, Mrs. Browne-Evans then accepted her Damehood without a moment’s hesitation. There are some who think her bonkers.
