OPINION

Bless you, BDA, for doing the right thing

Just who are these Uighurs - and why won't the U.S. take them, if they're so innocent?

PART II OF II

The people's choice - Brown or Bermuda?

A premier is simply another member of parliament. Like all MP's, he is elected to represent his small band of constituents. As premier, though, he represents all of the people of Bermuda.

The Bermudian mouse nibbled the tail of the old British lion

Great Britain was not amused.

Secrecy, demanded by the Americans, was vital

The Bermuda Government's decision to take in Four Chinese nationals of Uighur ethnicity was a bold humanitarian gesture that I hope all residents will come to embrace.

Those who should have played key roles were kept in the dark
