Bean: Time we were masters of our own destiny
Royal Gazette
Opposition leader Marc Bean launched what appeared to be a thinly disguised campaign for Independence on the grounds of Government House last night, claiming it was time for Bermudians to become “the masters of our own destiny”.
An estimated 2,000 protesters met at the official residence of Governor George Fergusson at around 5.30pm, responding to calls by the Progressive Labour Party last week to demonstrate against a controversial ruling by the Governor. Mr Fergusson had earlier rejected a motion — tabled by the PLP and passed in the House of Assembly — for Government House to set up a Commission of Inquiry into historic land grabs.
Describing the protest as “more than just symbolism”, Mr Bean said that the relationship between the Island and the UK had to evolve, and that Bermudians should prepare to “compete against everyone else who is trying to marginalise you in your own country”.
