In the old days, Kremlin watchers would scrutinize who was allowed to view mayday from atop Lenin’s Tomb to see who held sway in the Politburo. In Bermuda, you can tell what news is coming by who is announcing it:
- If it is good news, the Premier Dr. the Hon. Ewart F. Brown will hold press conference. Smooth and glorious in front of that Presidential backdrop.
- If it is non-news, a Junior Minister will be allowed to share the limelight.
- It is bad news, the Cabinet Minister gets to shoulder the “collective responsibility”. The Premier is off island on official business.
- If it is really bad news, then Sen. Burch is sent out to take the hit. On a Friday. He’s not elected, and they hope it will be forgotten over the weekend.
No matter the news, the news will show up on the qlq website but not gov.bm.
Happy Cup Match!
