Mickey Mouse Dictatorship
"A government afraid of its citizens is a Democracy. Citizens afraid of government is tyranny!"
...Thomas Jefferson

.......................................................................................

- Premier orders Govt communications officers to reduce Royal Gazette contact.... got his Cabinet members to sign an oath of loyalty .. a "desperate move" according to opponents.

-fires Civil service head Kenneth Dill  after a Government career spanning almost 40 years

-fires Civil servant LeYoni Junos ....unlawfully dismissed from her job, a judge ruled

-Civil servant chiefs have signed a letter in support of their head, Kenneth Dill, who is fighting the Premier's attempts to fire him.

-In April last year the BPSU  said  it was getting increasing complaints from civil servants about political interference and bullying.

And in January this year the union also hit out over the treatment of the Premier's secretary who came back from holiday to find she had been replaced.

The secretary was abruptly sent home on paid leave after working in the job for the best part of a decade.

Blocking move fails to deter Bermuda’s independent press

http://blog.indexoncensorship.org/2009/05/12/blocking-move-fails-to-deter-bermudas-independent-press/comment-page-1/#comment-147

Government has let Union Asset Holdings Ltd. off the hook for all of the $6.8 million owed under a bond due when the Berkeley school project failed.

$15 million with interest. Add in the premium and the government has just given the union $2,500 for every man, woman, and child on the island.

An absolutely stunning example of government mismanagement, deceit and corruption, followed by spin and lying . It should be used as a text book example of how banana republics are created.

Corruption is the rule, not the exception,after 10 years of looting the treasury to pay for the plp elites and now,the BIU union failures.

Standard & Poor's and Moody's Investors Service revised its ratings outlook on Bermuda to negative from stable,10 years of PLP government spending has doubled to ONE BILLION DOLLARS PER ANNUM for a 21 sq. mile island with 65,000 people (works out to be $15,384 per person)

.......................

Premier the Dishonorable Ewart Brown M.D, S.O.B, has issued a mandate to the Bermudian public that everyone will be required to show allegiance to him by being branded on your buttocks with a special branding iron bearing his facial likeness.

Those Bermudians who choose not to do so, will be placed before a Bermudian Regiment firing squad, with the order to fire given by Col. David Burch.

It is difficult to know which part of this to believe without more context.  Speaking personally, Im not really up to scratch on Bermuda politics!

Not everything the Royal Gazette reports is the truth.  People should look into issues them selves from other sources.  Some thing reported are distasteful and disrespectful to those who support this government, and those who work in government.  Peoples negative and inflamatory opinions about the government seems to be a norm when concering The Royal Gazette.
