Behind Germany’s refusal to grant Greece debt relief – Op-Ed in The Guardian – "catch a fire"

https://jonnystar.wordpress.com/2015/07/11/behind-germanys-refusal-to-grant-greece-debt-relief-op-ed-in-the-guardian

Notes from a small island. 2002 ‘Manifesto’. Moderation Policy and Contact. July 11, 2015. Behind Germany’s refusal to grant Greece debt relief – Op-Ed in The Guardian. I am thoroughly disappointed with the Greek Government’s vote last night to effectively capitulate to the Troika, despite the momentum they won from the successful No vote last Sunday. Here former Greek Finance Minister Yanis Varoufakis articulates some of the reality behind the Troika’s approach. 1,227 more words. July 11, 2015 at 3:15 pm.

Vote Starling – An Independent Voice for Bermuda – "catch a fire"

https://jonnystar.wordpress.com/vote-starling

Notes from a small island. 2002 ‘Manifesto’. Moderation Policy and Contact. November 14, 2012. Vote Starling – An Independent Voice for Bermuda. As many readers may know already, I’ve announced my candidacy for the upcoming general election. I’ve decided to run as an Independent candidate, and I’ll be running in Constituency 20, which is pretty much the City of Hamilton (from King Street) over into Fairylands. I’ve set up a website exclusively for this campaign. This entry was posted in Announcements.

Serious Allegations – Serious Questions? – "catch a fire"

https://jonnystar.wordpress.com/2015/07/09/serious-allegations-serious-questions

Notes from a small island. 2002 ‘Manifesto’. Moderation Policy and Contact. July 9, 2015. Serious Allegations – Serious Questions? As noted in my post yesterday. There’s a developing story which I feel is going to become VERY big. Explosively big. At the moment it’s impossible to say anything more than these affidavits contain a number of allegations concerning key persons in the OBA Government, allegations concerning bribes, possibly blackmail, and questions about governance in general. For those wonder...

Limited internet access… – "catch a fire"

https://jonnystar.wordpress.com/2015/07/27/limited-internet-access

Notes from a small island. 2002 ‘Manifesto’. Moderation Policy and Contact. July 27, 2015. Limited internet access…. Apologies to readers, however I have had limited internet access for the last two weeks, and likely for the next two weeks also. So posting is kind of on hiatus at the moment – think of it as an extended CupMatch blogging holiday…. As soon as I’m able to get a regular and secure connection, I’ll be back to posting properly. This entry was posted in Announcements. Article on Municipal Reform.

Article on Municipal Reform – "catch a fire"

https://jonnystar.wordpress.com/2015/07/14/article-on-municipal-reform

Notes from a small island. 2002 ‘Manifesto’. Moderation Policy and Contact. July 14, 2015. Article on Municipal Reform. So, I’ve got an article on Bernews today,. Written in reaction to the Municipal Amendment Act 2015 (no.2). I must admit quite often I find the comments confusing at times – I find it difficult sometimes to really understand where some of the comments are coming from. 1) Do I think Team Hamilton worked out? No – and I’ve been critical of Team Hamilton over the years. I, l...It’s al...

Some Saturday Musings – "catch a fire"

https://jonnystar.wordpress.com/2015/07/11/some-saturday-musings

Notes from a small island. 2002 ‘Manifesto’. Moderation Policy and Contact. July 11, 2015. I’m surprised that all of a sudden there’s a debate. About the OBA’s 2012 election promise of creating 2000 jobs. As election promises go, this one seemed clear to me as being empty fluff – it didn’t contain any clear policy commitment (like holding a referendum on casino gambling or suspending term limits for two years for a review) – it was just nonsense. Irresponsible nonsense at that. 8220;He’s a Marxist! 8221;...

2002 ‘Manifesto’ – "catch a fire"

Notes from a small island. 2002 ‘Manifesto’. Moderation Policy and Contact. 2002 ‘Manifesto’. The 2002 Genesis of Catch-A-Fire. While I’ve been perhaps boring readers with an onslaught of what many may regard as outdated and irrelevant sections of the manifesto, this page will provide handy links to these sections that readers can review with greater ease over time. I will update the links as the sections themselves come online. I) Introduction to the Current Situation. V) Race and Class in Bermuda.

The Municipal Reform Act 2010 – "catch a fire"

https://jonnystar.wordpress.com/2010/07/23/the-municipal-reform-act-2010

Notes from a small island. 2002 ‘Manifesto’. Moderation Policy and Contact. July 23, 2010. The Municipal Reform Act 2010. To begin with I want to make it clear that I am in favour of reforming the municipalities. Furthermore, there is nothing all that bad in the draft legislation that I am strongly opposed to. At best there are some aspects of it that I need clarification on, and depending on the clarification I might advocate various amendments. I have to admit I had always seen the CoH as an autonomous...

Another ‘Gate’ Moment? – "catch a fire"

https://jonnystar.wordpress.com/2015/07/08/another-gate-moment

Notes from a small island. 2002 ‘Manifesto’. Moderation Policy and Contact. July 8, 2015. Another ‘Gate’ Moment? I think Bermuda may well be approaching some form of singularity regarding the recent explosion of ‘-gate’ scandals. The biggest scandal taking up this suffix to date, in the Bermuda context, has been Jet Gate, which led to the downfall of the first OBA Premier and – arguably – also led to the resignation of the first OBA Attorney General.
