CHRISTOPHER FAMOUS

What the OBA and PLP have in common

Christopher Famous: There are things I feel the PLP and OBA as political parties can actually work on together that would not take away from their support bases but rather enhance our country in ways we may never have seen before.

Open letter to the Premier

Christopher Famous in Wednesday's Sun offered some suggestions to his 'St Kitts cousin' Premier Craig Cannonier.

OBA’s bad week is great PR for the PLP

Christopher Famous: It was a hectic week for the OBA, with zero transparency or accountability.

Women are going back to natural hairstyles. Cool!

Christopher Famous: We have to stop buying into the concept that Eurocentric looks are the only true indicators of beauty. This whole 'Nice Hair' syndrome is wack.

Premier is finally Standing Strong

Christopher Famous: People with money think we must simply do as they say without our voice being heard. That is nothing more than financial dictatorship. Bermudians will not be dictated to.

‘No’ vote would be disaster for OBA

Christopher Famous: The OBA made a major issue about university students not being able to vote in December’s election. Yet they have guaranteed the university students won’t be voting in any referendum. Any guesses as to why?

STATUS / RED FLAGS APLENTY

Our birthright should not go up for sale

Christopher Famous: Where does the OBA really stand on the issue of status for 6,075 PRCs? Minister Fahy is on record as offering children of guest workers the ability to work minus a work permit. How far away is he from making up some lame excuse to potentially offer status?

Why status deals are bad news for many

Christopher Famous: There are many Bermudians — civil servants, seniors, contractors — who regret ever voting for the OBA. Hence the OBA want and need more votes for the next election or they are doomed. So what better place to find this new voter base but through 6,075 PRCs who …

Are we poised to ‘sell’ status to 13,000 people?

Christopher Famous: We have a concerted effort by people in the business community who are lobbying for the sale of Bermudian status to the highest bidder.

To defeat racism we must address the disunity amongst us

Christopher Famous: And at the end of the day we have no one to blame but ourselves by continuing the colonial mindset of internal division amongst ourselves.

We can learn useful life lessons from cricket

Christopher Famous: I think back to last year and the humiliating loss we suffered up west. I should have known it was going to happen, the minute I saw Paula Cox and Michael Dunkley both wearing Somerset colours during the opening ceremony.

More myths on privatization

Chrisopher Famous takes a deeper look into the myths of privatization.

Beware — privatization is driven by naked capitalism

Christopher Famous examines some of the myths versus realities of privatization.

The various ways in which class divides us

Christopher Famous: We need to be honest with ourselves. Elections come and go, yet the divisions are getting wider when we need to be closer to one another. We shun our own Bermudians, yet some say we are xenophobic.

Equality? For some perhaps

Christopher Famous: Let's be real; employers can afford to be selective, and they will select private school students over public school students. Feel free to debate, it but the stats will prove differently.
