Opposition boycotting parliament until speaker goes
(CNS): Opposition Leader Roy McTaggart said Friday that under the current government Cayman’s legislature is becoming a “kangaroo parliament”, as he announced that the opposition would not take part in the proceedings until Speaker McKeeva Bush vacates office. In a statement issued just after the meeting opened this morning, the opposition leader said that although Bush has resigned, he expects, and the government is enabling him, to continue in the chair when he should leave immediately.
“I regret to say that under this Government we are rapidly becoming a ‘kangaroo parliament’,” McTaggart stated on behalf of the PPM members. “We take our oaths seriously when we swore to serve the people of the Cayman Islands in the House of Parliament. We would be abdicating our duty to the country to participate in the sham that today’s meeting of Parliament has become.”
He accused the government of banding together to prevent a motion of lack of confidence in the speaker from being debated on a false premise. “This refusal of a valid motion is inexcusable and a violation of all democratic principles of Parliament,” McTaggart added, as he confirmed that the opposition would not attend on Friday.
The meeting was opened with Bush defending criticisms against him relating to his failure to get the Parliamentary Code of Conduct completed in line with his commitment when he was appointed as Speaker in the deal cut with the PACT Government after the elections last year. That was followed immediately by a motion moved by government back-bencher Dwayne Seymour (BTE) and supported by Isaac Rankin (EE) for a vote of confidence in PACT, which had been filed in reaction to the opposition’s original no-confidence vote.
Seymour said that, as a former member of the opposition and a minister in the last PPM-led administration, he was “uniquely qualified” to bring the motion and reassure the parliament that the PACT administration retains his confidence and that of others. He said that his loyalty had been called into question so he wanted to defend the government. He said the PACT was not a band of yes-men, as he implied that government disagreements were healthy.
Seymour said the opposition’s decision to file a no-confidence motion had given PACT the determination and resolve to keep going. He said that despite the roadblocks, they want to make life better for all Caymanians, as he listed what he said were the many things the government had achieved in the first 18 months.

PPM should have come to the house and made, in the house, the points they made in the press conference. I
t would have had more impact. That said, it was skuldugerry all round – in which the people’s needs were not even a factor.
Well said.
Let’s get this right, you are elected as a lawmaker. You bring a motion within the law to be debated and voted on. You believe you are above the law you are elected to and take the law into your hands because your proposed law is not dealt with NOW. Well, that means if you did not get your own way you were going to break the decision of the vote anyway? Well, whatever way you are still a CRIMINAL who breaks our laws and not performing the job you were elected by the people to do. CHILDREN are the least of the crime.
I agree that the Opposition cannot simply submit to PACT’s illegal actions. and I hope that Roy and his colleagues will take every step necessary to ensure that PACT does not drag our islands further into lawlessness.
The unlawful refusal to accept a motion in Parliament may seem like a small thing but it once again shows that they have little regard for the rule of law.
PPM had, and has, no regard for the rule of law.
I understand and fully appreciate the boycott. However, seems a little too late considering there were no action taken before on previous behavior which he was convicted for. Seems like hypocrisy at its best. But maybe this is political move which I have no clue on. From the layman guy who vote PPM I’m starting to view that better thoughts should be placed before speak or take action? Loosing faith in our political system. Personally I’m worst off financially and is barely making end meets now that during the middle of the pandemic. Yet the present government is saying they have achieved so much in 18 months but for who?
Why is there STILL no code of conduct 18 months after PACT seized power in April ‘21? Abysmally woeful.
@10:27pm.. the better question to ask is why in their 12 years they never even discussed a code of conduct. At least PACT has one for the Cabinet.. that’s a good start but yes they need to get one in place for the whole Parliament while they are there.
The so-called Code of Conduct introduced by PACT says that Ministers only have to ‘observe’ not comply with laws and they only need to ‘observe’ those laws that they think are relevant at any given time.
See Para 2.4 https://cnslibrary.com/wp-content/uploads/Cayman-Islands-Ministerial-Code-of-Conduct-27-July-2021.pdf
Hopefully that will not be copied into whatever Wig Man allows for a Parliamentary Code of Conduct. He and PACT think that they are above the law so I am not holding my breath for anything that will constrain them.
Shows your ignorance. Observe the law does not mean you sit on the beach with binoculars while the laws sail by.
Boy think before you white. If you don’t understand a topic don’t criticize it nor write about it for it make you look foo foo@1:14pm.
As much as Bush is a national disgrace, I would hope that the electorate see this as nothing more than grandstanding by ppm after years of supporting mac
Hahahahha what a joke…Wayne now relying on John John to speak up on behalf of him and his PACT government…when he (Wayne) and his key supporters so blatantly publicly stated over and over again that Wayne never wanted John John to join PACT, it was the other PACT Members who wanted him, so his hands were tied🙄 seems like his hands are still tied…what a mess you in Wayne Panton 🙄
A few minor things to note are, inter alia, as follows:
(1) All Opposition MPs failing to show up for a scheduled Parliament session is inexcusable, regardless of any reasons justifying such action.
(2) Minister Bryan’s point of order, specifically citing Orders 6 and 31 of the Standing Orders, were on point and appropriate.
(3) Ironically, Dwayne Seymour’s speech was, perhaps, the most appropriate and on point of all, because he seemed to (literally) touch on all the right points that resonated with the Caymanian people — I have to give credit where it is due.
(4) Deputy Premier Saunders was correct, as the Minister of Labour, that it was inappropriate and wrong for the entire Opposition not to show up for work — this was absolutely correct.
Whilst there are far more things that I could say on this subject and pertaining to what transpired today, I will leave it at that for now.
God bless the Cayman Isands and, most importantly, our precious Caymanian people.
God bless,
Orrie 🙏🏻🇰🇾
First of all Chris Saunders and Kenneth boycotted Parliament and didn’t show up last term with the Opposition members.
Second, boycotts have their place in Democracy. If a Speaker allows Parliament to proceed with the absence of the Opposition, then he is derelict because the Constitution calls for both parties to be present.
Boycotts are used to make a point! in this case having Parliament with Bush i the chair is a big deal, and shows that PACt has no principles.
Lastly, Wayne Panton resigned from the PPM because of Bush and his last case. Wayne was outside with the protestors screaming #sheissupported
Orrie, you seem to have missed the point that the decision of the Deputy Speaker to refuse the no confidence motion was almost certainly unlawful and unconstitutional and that the blather from the government side was nothing more than verbal ‘slight of hand’ intended to distract the public from that unlawfulness.
So they’ll miss what? Two days of completely useless dribble? When’s the next sitting? What of substance is on the order paper? Didn’t think so.
It’s the job of MPs to be in Parliament.
@8:33pm..So you are okay paying them for few months without them striking a lick..You do realize that is about $100K amongst them that we are wasting every months so they can stay home or attend to their other businesses full time..
I don’t know about anyone else but this PPM power hungry party has been taking the piss with us for years and it is time to let them understand that we are no longer going to put up with their crap..
Why does CNS get tons of comments on topics like this one while CMR seems to have next to none? Usually quite a lively conversation over there, today not so much….
Shame on Wayne Panton
Shame on Chris Saunders
Shame on Kenneth Bryan
Shame on Jay Ebanks
Shame on Sabrina Turner
Shame on Andre Ebanks
Shame on Bernie Bush
Shame on Cathy Wilks
Shame on Heather Bodden
Shame on Issac Rankine
Shame on Dwayne Seymour
Shame on Julianna OConnor
Shame on EACH AND EVERYONE of you for sitting in Parliament today with McKeeva Bush. As of now, you all are a bigger disgrace to this country than Bush himself is. To the PPM, you could have done things differently but at least you showed your disgust that the woman beater remained in the distinguished Speakers chair.
Try and hush, PPM hypocrite.
Shame on PPM for not showing up. When I pay you I expect you to show-up. They are paid to do a job and it is the duty show-up. Shame on PPM
Does this mean that we “The People”., do not pay you, since you gave yourselves’Leave of Absence “.. …… No Work No Pay. At least McKeeva showed up.
This means that we the people get the Speaker that we want hence the representation that we get with it.
Whatboutism at its best.
6.06pm Didn’t McKeeva get paid when he took an unauthorised “Leave of Absence”? Also most people commenting don’t understand the Westminster form of Government, know what Standing orders or Erskine May are hence the type of people they elect.
Constitution, Erskine May and Standing Orders are all important — I’m a Caymanian who is very familiar.
Run it all from London with half a dozen civil servants. Joke.
Why not try it? It couldn’t be any worse!
Half a dozen Whitehall civil servants could not even organise a piss up in a brewery, much less run the little tin pan that is Cayman😂
They could buy the liquor for the No 10 pub quiz night or birthday bash or whatever we we’re drinking to tonight.
PPM did the right thing! Spineless Wayne Panton should be ashamed of himself to sink so low to maintain title. He and the rest of PACT – OMG what a disgrace!
Are they? I am the anti-fan of Bush, however, he was not convicted of anything in this last go-around. We all collectively fell down when he was LAST convicted, however that was then and this is now.
Legally, under what laws do we remove him? The “I don’t like his stin’king ass” rules? Understand, I want him GONE. I think he’s a pox on our legislative purity and progress.
I think the whole of Cabinet should talk and collectively elect to toss him out. Work together for ONCE to accomplish a common goal.
Mmmm search hard and long and let me know when you find a backbone in either Roy or Alden! Tell me which one in the last 4 years got McKeeva to resign? Or even asked him to? Unna dissolved parlament to protect him thats what unnna cowards did! Now unna want to act like you have principles! Unna think we fool!
Just a note for the misled: The only things that PPM did were for PPM, They were, and are, only interested in getting more loot for themselves!
PPM are power-hungry and unfit to lead!
Imagine the noises and potential JRs and moaning all around that would come shortly after. Nonetheless, the Governor may need to step in yet again to fix the fresh mess. Wow.
Has he ever “fixed” anything yet????
Yes. Civil partnership law.
Governor need to call up the regiment and have all these fools removed to a stockade, from where they can be put to work on the chain gang.
McBeater at the front, Panton at the back, the rest of them in between.
Where they gonna put you?
In the wig?
This is a great idea from Roy. Let’s get a bunch of kangaroos and install them in Parliament. Leave them to it and we will no longer need any elections and let’s face it, the kangaroos will do a far superior job than the current incumbent morons.
Politics always requires that leaders take stands for the betterment of the country. Which do you think has more impact? Removing a speaker or removing the Government? PPM motioned for both – the Speaker himself accepted the motion against Gov which outweighs that against Speaker in any event.
And yet, after given the opportunity to tell the whole country, detail by detail, why PPM feels that PACT Government is incapable – they chose to take the day off claiming they will not sit with McKeeva Bush! Really??? Half of you been in with Bush for over two decades and now you choose to take a vacation from your biggest move ever!?
The PPM are the ones making a circus out of the Cayman Islands parliament! Plugging the media with article and press release after press release with attempts to overthrow instead of getting down to policy and real business and dealing with the true issues of the day!
My thoughts exactly, Anonymous 5:04pm. Instead, of turning up to defend their position, the PPM left the field wide open for every PACT batter to hit home runs by detailing every good thing the government has done in their district since taking office.
They cannot list anything because they did nothing?
PACT has done almost nothing, which is a good thing, and is certainly better than when the PPM did too many bad things.
Cayman needs a real alternative, which is not PPM and not PACT. Maybe a few PACT might be okay, but most current MPs need to go.
this entire debacle was just them trying to seize power – they don’t actually care about Mckeeva at all keep in mind instead of handling Mckeeva themselves in 2021 the PPM called an early election
This was all about getting Alden and Co back into power
If the PPM actually wanted to get rid of Mac what they should have done is attended Parliament and moved a motion to waive the standing orders which require the five days notice that was used by the Deputy Speaker to refuse the motion. They only needed a majority to pass the motion to waive the relevant standing order. Either the motion would have passed or the country would have seen the MP’s who wanted Mac to remain. Alden and members of the PPM are seasoned politicians so they would have known this option existed which then raises the question as to whether they actually wanted to remove Mac or just wanted to play politics as the waiver of standing orders is commonly used in Parliament almost on a daily basis.
I am not a part of the PPM or PACT fan clubs but I have concluded that Wayne is the most power hungry and shameless character to have ever entered the political arena. People have short memories but I recall clearly his loud objections against McKeeva in the past but now he is supporting and condoning his behavior, just to hold onto power. The damage being done to the reputation of these islands is unforgivable. Shame on you Wayne!
Well said.
Well said. 😁
unlike PACT who literally pay a horrendous amount of $ to Sandra and the most toxic social media platform I’ve ever had the misfortune of experiencing. They and her deserve each other. clowns and amateurs the most dangerous of combinations.
Then you little adult children should have your salaries cut or suspended because it simply means you are not going to do any wak for that time period. But to say this will happen? Oh boy. Who am I kidding. These BoBos and Teetees don’t wake now under normal circumstances. Everyone of unna should have your salaries boycotted because none of ya any better than the rest. Except, the Speaker who is the center of your gesture to not wak.
We are truly a sh*tshow for sure and I can’t see a way back for Cayman. A mixture of immature, self-interested and poorly educated ‘politicians’ from a pool that wouldn’t get the soles of your feet wet.
And Jon-Jon’s ‘speech’ 😔. Oh my goodness! He is the thickest of the lot.
Oh poor babies…they lost the election and still can’t believe it
The ppm are a joke, throwing their toys out of the pram again
Just go away and let adults run the country
They didn’t lose. They were all returned to their seats. FYI.
PACT happened to be able to form after the election. FYI.
Not Austin and, even so, PPM did not run enough candidates to form a government, unless they had a coalition. Get your facts straight.
The collective actions today of the PPM is the definition of hypocrisy and petulance.
How ironic that all PPM members showed up for work in the same Parliament with Mckeeva Bush in the Speaker’s Chair AFTER he was convicted in 2020 and was a key member of the PPM led Coalition government of National UNITY 2017-2021.
They failed to show up to work today to defend or provide any justifications for their own motion of No Confidence in the Government…that is a historic fumble that is likely unprecedented in the Commonwealth.
This is another classic example of the PPM’s “Selective outrage” and political theatre by our elected leaders in the Opposition.
Unfortunately, this is also consistent behavior by those at the highest levels of the civil service who operate by using a similar “sliding scale of accountability” in the Cayman Islands to justify their decisions etc.
This sort of behavior by ‘leaders’ in the opposition who are getting paid to show up to work in Parliament for the people yet deciding not to do their jobs but still earning their salary is nothing short of a national embarrassment. In the private sector there are consequences for such actions including termination of employment.
The same individuals when the PPM were the government in power were willing to work with the Speaker.
Consider these facts:
1. PPM were happy to keep him as Speaker for 4 years.
2. PPM did not remove him or demand he resign after the first incident in Florida within 3 months of the 2017 election.
3. The PPM did not call for him to resign after he was found guilty in Grand Court in Feb 2020.
Where was their outrage and principles then? We are talking about the same PPM MP’s that failed to show up for work that are allegedly standing on principles today.
Why did they not demand he resign given his public transgressions and the large majority they held as the PPM led government of National Unity?
I get the political games…but as citizens we have to be able to call bullshit when we see.
As leaders they should be setting the best example for the country and insuring that these principles they claim to have are applicable to all persons in all situations not just for political theatre.
Our competitors will be rubbing their hands and laughing at today’s events and the circus like behavior by some of our elected clowns.
#STAYWOKE🇰🇾
Kind regards
Johann Moxam
You do realize that by implication you are denoting the lack of principles by PACT to not move forward to remove him from his position and instead allow his golden parachute as a matter of political convenience.
I know it may run over your head because you’re too caught up in the opportunity to criticize the Progressives, but not a one of anyone in office over the past few years is coming out of this clean. They’ve all been mucking about in the mud and not a single one has clean hands, nor pure heart.
Not even Jon Jon Seymour has a pure heart?
Johann you are 100% Correct. Kurt Christian
Sound like a sore loser. You paraded yourself with your hashtags and are now more to blame than they are. The PACT postering is pathetic. By the way this is what a strong opposition looks like. They are not paid to go along with the sitting government especially this one that is hell bent on turning us into a welfare state. So you’re saying you’re fine with Mr. Bush being a part of this government? Will you or any of PACT say you denounce him? Lots of #politricks with your bunch.
Another troll struggling with the facts. PPM bots working over time
What exactly did Yohan say that factually incorrect? All fair points to me
It is disappointing but not surprising that instead of expressing outrage at PACT for keeping McKeeva as Speaker you chose to attack those who protested this. Politricks as usual Johan.
Johann,
The key issues here are that Bush should not be in Parliament, full-stop. Both “parties” are shit-shows and there is no leadership.
Wayne should be embarrassed enough to do something about Mac pulling strings like the puppet master he is.
We collectively through the politicians we have elected are in danger of breaking the Cayman Islands and continue to screw things up for the coming generations.
This place is a shambles.
“Wote ’em all out” is a better slogan than #staywoke, whatever that means in the Cayman context…
Please stop using the term “Stay Woke”. That’s the worst thing anyone can do.
Yes, stop saying stay woke. It takes away from substance. Agreed.
Who put him in power knowing if these facts? Wokeism is AIDS of the mind
Thanks Johann. Great summary full of facts and real questions no one wants to answer. The truth always hurts.
No issues with PACT accepting the disgraced Speaker to their backbench, Johann? Shall we wait for you to call out your friends and colleagues for accepting him to their coalition, just like there was nary a mutter from you when Kenneth broke Ministerial Code of Conduct? Selective outrage, I think you called it.
#stayhome
It’s funny how they are so hell-bent now on getting rid of Mac but would not do it years ago. Sore losers.
I guess poor Alden is missing his throne.
Macbeater needs to go but so do all of you!!!
And just think. All this could have been avoided if PPM had fired him the first time.
Just think if PACT didn’t allow it to continue….
They tried. You all forget it was Kenneth who voted to keep him there.
Did i hear Mr. Bush announce a lecture series on the Code of Conduct that will be taught by him? Now I have heard it all. It is a Kangaroo Parliament! Stop the madness.
If PPM , the opposition, is not coming to work for the next 2 months then they should not be paid.
Well, that gives PACT plenty of time to get some stuff done. Are you up for it Pact?
Yep. They should have that code of conduct complete and signed by everyone except absent members by sunset.
Imaging the minds of Kenny, John John, Jay and the rests trying to grapple with any meaningful policy decisions for this country – that should scare the cr@p out of you.
Politics sometimes requires that people take a stand on principle! Well done PPM
BS they were paid to go to work ! Our money sad when politicians outright steal time from the people by not working fir their salary . Principle Roy’s big foot!
Jah Dred sad to see that your outrage is at PPM not showing up instead of of being disgusted at McKeeva for showing up or PACT for supporting him.
Jad Dred says it all.
Anyone with an iota of self-respect and respect for the parliament would have done the same thing. Well done Sir Alden and the PPM. Do not submit yourselves under this man again. You sure stood out from the crowd. So proud of you!!
Where was their stance when they were in power? So disappointed by Roy. Time to man up! Not to sit at home & get paid for being petulant.
yes… well do e to the people who called an early election rather than remove Mac last time. Funny how all these moral sticking points only pop up when PPM has nothing to lose.
I find this all rather hypocritical of PPM. Sure PACT should never have had Bush as speaker in the first place but don’t forget how long PPM had him in power. Also, politics aside do what is right for our islands, not all this posturing.
Bananas anyone?
McKeeva should not be sitting in as house speaker anymore he is a total disgrace and so is Panton for bringing him back.
Cayman islands government is a joke
Will anyone notice?
One can only hope Whitehall does.
Boycotting does not serve the people. Ask the Grand Court to confirm that PACT has breached the Constitution. Ask the Governor and the UK to end this farce of a Parliament and call a new election. Act – don’t pout.
Exactly !!!!!. That is what I was thinking his statement was about.
Breached the Constitution how?? Boy you can hear some foolishness!
I guess they would feel ashamed to come in with a vote of no confidence against the Government only having to explain why the five of them were the only one voting for their motion..
PPM are burying and distancing themselves from the Cayman voters with this extreme thirst for power at whatever cost.
If I had got up this morning and not gone to work without telling my boss and then went on social media to say I wasn’t coming back in until someone who has resigned leaves the place of work, my ass would be fired and it would be the last time I worked there. They had to work one day this month and they couldn’t even do that. Somebody tell me why we are paying them in excess of $11k every month please?
I’m not a PPM supporter, but the reason why the Opposition in any Parliament brings a motion is usually so they can make enlightening statements during the debate on the motion, or just bring attention to a subject, that the people who vote would not otherwise hear.
This is why not one wry word will be said about McKeeva in this session, and people reading history years from now will have to assume that he did nothing wrong. After all, they have his letter saying that he didn’t do anything wrong.
So you take your oath to serve the people so seriously, that you refuse to serve the people?
They certainly would not be serving the people today. You all need to write the crap that the deputy speaker pulled, not once but twice..
I am no fan of the PPM crowd but on this they are absolutely right. So long as Bush sits in the Speaker’s chair the parliament has no credibility.
John John admitting that the Catron led government is untenable.
Who is Catron?
Sandra CMR
What are you writing about, 2:29pm? Seymour introduced a confidence motion on PACT and went on to list all the good things the government has achieved or introduced since taking office. Every other PACT MP did the same, so the PPM basically focused the spotlight on the PACT while they performed a full play.
Where will Big Mac go after politics? Is he an expert in a specific field in the private sector? I think he could open a Caymanian style restaurant in West Bay maybe call it The Diplomat which could be rather popular.
He’s not resigning as an elected member of West Bay, only as the Speaker of the House. He will only be a backbencher after his timeline expires in November.
Unfortunately, I think that he will be re-elected again.
There used to be a Le Diplomat here some 35 or 40 years ago. It was an upmarket , must wear jackets restaurant in what is now the Grand Pavilion.
I doubt if Mac could go there , not knowing which fork to use.
He knows what a fork is for?
Of course he does. His favourite expression is “fork over the…”
Mac is also a reputed ‘Consultant’. Remember: China Harbor. His consultancy efforts has been mainly focused on ports: Airports & Seaports.
Oh, and– High Value Real Estate Mergers-Acquisitions and Political Horse Trading, too.
Lots of money💰💵 in the Bank🏦
5.38 you forgot to mention that all his consulting and other deals are done behind closed doors , under the table and in the dark of night.
Lots of money paid maybe – then spent in casinos and bars.
Previous administrations have never really been spectacular, but I believe PACT has hit a new low. It’s very disappointed to see how these events are unfolding, the fact that McKeeva was even allowed to run again and now determine his departure date (which I believe he has no intention of honouring) is scandalous.
I understand PPM’s actions. The job of the opposition is to keep the current government accountable, but the current government is not even allowing them to do that.
These are worrying times for Cayman, especially when we have to wait until 2025 to change anything. Hopefully there will be some young educated Caymanians in the next election.
What a pile of hog wash 2:20 pm you forget who let Bush political career alive for their own benefit , who else but the PPM do now somebody uses him and it’s all wrong and they are the devil incarnate. You and the whole bunch a you have become stupefied by the vitriolic shenanigans of Sir Alden Mash Roy etc who gave away everything besides the salt water during their tenor .
There are no Tenors in either party.
There were young educated Caymanians in the last election but the electorate prefer dumb dumbs like themselves. They only want someone who can push his/her hands in the pockets and pull out a wad of money. GLory to the PPM.
who?
Oh my!
Your Excellency the Governor,
The Leader of the Opposition is correct. This Parliament is not operating within the rule of law. Please dissolve this government and call for a new election.
I agree that the Speaker must go, but I would ask the Opposition to do something more concrete to remove him and force PACT to start obeying the rule of law and operating within the Constitution.
State your case that the Speaker and his UDP/PACT followers are operating outside the law in writing and submit it to the Governor asking the Governor to use his powers under S.84 of the Constitution to dissolve this undemocratic government and call an election.
They have probably done that? They are quite capable of doing both. They had to take the stand they took today.. to show up under Mckeeva’s governance today would have been a travesty of justice.
Governor has no role Or business in our parliament, separation of powers!!! This is a matter for Wayne to resolve and he isn’t going to do it!
Wayne is soft like pap
The history of the PPM is that they cross their pinkies behind their backs when they recite “oaths”. They were the worst. Enabled criminal McKeeva to stay on, denied a vote on port, and resisted calling and conceding elections, amongst other things. They are our own homegrown MAGAtards.
What a bunch of spoilt adults, if you can call them that..
The people hired you to go to work and not get all worked up in your feelings because someone who resigns is still at work..
If anyone, can’t see what the PPM is about now, something is seriously wrong..
Becoming a Kangaroo Court?
Cayman’s Parliament has been much worse for a very long time Bobo and everyone seems to get that but the 19 clowns that currently sit in it.
What effing Planet do you all live on Roy?
Well, I’m letting my boss right know now that the next time someone resigns, I’m not coming in until he leaves.. If the PPM can do, I can do it too!
Their absence serves a purpose and makes a point.
I doubt yours would
@4:20pm What purpose? I don’t make anything near what they make for coming to work once a month? What makes me any different from Alden, Roy or any of those bunch of yahoo’s except that they make about 4 times what I make?
If it was a point they were trying to make, they certainly failed at that . The only point I see being made by them and that is what we know already, that they are not fir for purpose..
I listened to as much of Seymour’s speech as I could tolerate. He truly is an embarrassment…made worse by the fact that in order to give weight to some spurious point he is trying to make, he says God is behind it all. Also, who did he get to write this speech? Bad though it was, it had words and constructions in it that are way beyond this son of the soil.
Seymour is so dumb, so convinced he has “God given talents” so uneducated, so out of his depth .
If that is what is running Cayman, with Saunders, Mac, Jay and Bryan, then no more investment from me, and many others who are just shaking their heads will agree.
The entire PACK is nothing but incompetent ignorant nimbys. On a normal day Wayne Panton would not have given them the time of day. But this is what desperation ,will drive you to. Just go back in your heads and conscience, mull over in your minds exactly who are running (ruining) our beloved isles Cayman. Never before has it been so sad. you wouldn’t have found a more inept bunch if you deliberately went looking for them. The rest of the Caribbean must be having a laugh every time they remember the CTA Function that they had the displeasure of attending here a few weeks ago. Just imagine having to listen to them in meetings etc. a real embarrassment. A real sad state we are in!
Rolston is known to be his speech writer.
But Boy did you love John John when he was sitting with the PPM?
I always thought he was a drag. When I remember those Covid press meetings I still cringe.
PACT – enabling the drunken beating of women since 2021.
All the McKeeva Bush enablers and supporters were there though.
Funny I see former candidate like JM have joined the Mark Road bandwagon today in support of Mac
This is wonderful that PPM will not return till Honorable Bush leaves. I say stay on as the Speaker Honorable Bush so we never have to look at the PPM losers again!
Just make sure that you are not getting a salary or any other taxpayer funded benefits for the period of time that you will be away from the job.
Bush is being paid and he shouldn’t be there at all.
