It's a good thing this blog is written and not spoken, because for once I'm speechless.
The hypocrisy is simply astounding, and the Mid Ocean News was kind enough to lay it out in adjacent articles.
Read it and weep:
- PLP Cabinet Minister and Senator David Burch's political radio talk show = a great thing - direct communication with the masses - no conflict of interest.
- PLP PR Officer Scott Simmons and a PLP Cabinet Minister Wayne Perinchief sit on the Broadcasting Commission (which regulates political broadcast) = no conflict of interest
- PLP Senator and Chairperson of the Bermuda College Raymond Tannock participates in the decision to try and block Bermuda College employee Gina Spence's appointment to the Senate = no conflict of interest, doesn't recuse himself
- the newly appointed UBP Senator Gina Spence, who runs a radio talk show with Bermuda College students, that has not been political = conflict of interest, has the last broadcast stopped and is told that it could be used inappropriately for political purposes
If people sit back and say nothing we deserve exactly what we're getting.
