Column by Times Online correspondent James Bone, in Bermuda covering the current crisis:
It seems clear that the pro-independence Dr Brown has succeeded, in a single stroke, in winning the attention of Mr Obama, the world’s busiest and possibly most popular man, while also tweaking the British.
More on today’s events from Reuters:
Hundreds of protesters called for Bermudian Premier Ewart Brown to step down on Tuesday and accused him of acting like a dictator in allowing four Guantanamo prisoners from China to settle on the mid-Atlantic island.
This is just a selection of raw footage from today. As you can see later on, things got a bit heated between some Brown supporters and the protestors. One guy can be heard telling white Bermudians to “go home”. Thaao Dill on Hott 107 was commenting – with some justification – that the protest showed that Bermudian politics was still divided along racial lines. The ignorance clearly still cuts both ways – sadly there seems to be a long way to go.
