The Progressive Labour Party joined others yesterday in condemning a flurry of anti-government and homophobic graffiti spray painted around the island.

As well as walls in public places, the vandal targeted trees, portable toilets and even the side of a truck, with much of the invective directed at the One Bermuda Alliance.

Many singled out Michael Dunkley, the Premier, and Senator Michael Fahy, the Transport, Tourism and Municipalities minister, with slurs including “Kill Dunkley”, “Kill ob-gayz”, “kill mafia, kill oba”.

In a joint statement, Shadow Minister of Public Safety Walter Roban and MP Diallo Rabain deplored the offensive statements against the governing party.

“While many Bermudians have become frustrated, disenchanted and even angered with the OBA’s approach on many issues, antisocial behaviour and derogatory slurs against the LGBT community are not the way to express dissatisfaction or disagreement,” the statement said. “We condemn this without reservation.

“We encourage all of Bermuda to seek more lawful and productive ways to participate in the political process.”

The threats, which police are investigating as the work of a lone individual, were earlier called “hateful vandalism” by Mr Dunkley, and decried by Lynne Woolridge, the chairwoman of the OBA.
