So I guess my overall issue is that the people, well, we were illegally prevented from getting i nto Parliament. And I understand that there was a senior police there—and I will take a point of clarif ication if I am wrong—and it was Mark Clarke and he was never interviewed for this report, and I wonder why he was …

Mr. Speaker , I am not saying that spending time, resources and money on the report was a bad thing. So I do not know why the Member is getting so exercised about it. As I said, the goal . . . I am trying to figure out if the ultimate goal, after this report has been pr oduced . …

Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker. Mr. Deputy Speaker, from what I hear being said about this report, the now -Opposition would like you to, or have you, believe that participating in civil disobedience is something that is wrong.

But it was against the law at the time! So, does that mean that we are all la wbreakers now because— when we go to celebrate Cup Match and watch Somerset win the Cup? Right? Now, Mr. Deputy Speaker, another example of civil disobedience, or another product of civil dis obedience are the Gombeys. Remember, the ruling class did not …

No, I am not going to be any longer. Because, Mr. Deputy Speaker, as I said, we know who came up with the airport deal. The people were against it. Seventy -five per cent of this popul ation were against it. And they were making themselves known through civil disobedience, which is part of our culture. And to say not …

So, Mr. Deputy Speaker, the thing is that all roads lead back to the Dunkley Admi nistration. They were responsible for this because they were trying to push a bad deal on the country, which the country did not want. They were not listening to their people. They were not listening to their voters. And one thing my father taught …

The Honourable Member is misleading the House on several different aspects. When it comes to HOTT 107.5, that is for commercial use not for propaganda. When it comes to the GP cars, we are using just the same number of Bermuda House of Assembly cars as they did, but they changed the licence plates from GP to regular numbers. And …

I can speak for myself, I am the chairman of the Airport Authority, so it was my duty to be there. It is not hypocrisy. It is taking r esponsibility for running the country and which is what the people have asked us to do. So, the Honourable Member is misleading the House. Hon. Michael H. Dunkle y: Thank you—

Thank you very much, Mr. Speaker. I would actually wish that this House send a letter of condolences for Minister Rabain’s father [Vi ncent Victor Vernel Rabain], who is, unfortunately, no longer with us.

Out of the two teams that made it to the finals, we came second. But, mind you, the team that won was made up of the same me mbers who were on the Gold Cup team. So, we were playing against National Team players. And as goa lkeeper, I held my own. We lost 6:5. But the thing is that, …
