women, urging them to revolutionise Bermuda.

In a dynamic speech, she tore into men and accused them of making a hash of running the Country.

It was time for women to get involved in politics and grab the reins of power, she declared.

"Being a woman is about revolution. We have power to destroy and power to give birth. Bermuda needs to be seriously revolutionised.'' And moments later lawyer Mr. Julian Hall MP beamed the spotlight on Bermuda's "institutionalised racism'' -- underlined in the Judge Stephen Tumim report.

He said the social cancer was rooted in the education and banking systems, prison service, commercial institutions, and Police force.

But the only way for the United Bermuda Party to wipe out this deep-seated racism was to eradicate itself, he said.

The Country would be going to "hell with a hand-basket'' unless there was a change of power.

"We must make that change. That is the bottom line,'' said Mr. Hall.

Later veteran PLP MP Mrs. Lois Browne-Evans blasted the Government's immigration policies.

She said a PLP Government would really put Bermudians first in the job market.

The three politicians went on the offensive at a two-and-a-half-hour rally at Devonshire Recreation Club. Opposition leader Mr. Frederick Wade was unable to attend because he has the 'flu.

About 90 people braved the bitter cold to come and hear the pre-election sabre-rattling.

Ms Webb, candidate for Hamilton East, was, perhaps, the most provocative with her assault on men.

"Let's face it, our men have made a mess of it,'' she announced.

She deplored the lack of women in executive decisions in the business community -- even though they outnumbered men on the Island.

"We also outnumber our male counterparts in the workplace. We are in larger numbers heading households as single parents. However, very often we do not get the moral or financial support necessary to run a household and effectively raise children.

"Some of our men have deserted us, they have reneged on their responsibility as breadwinner, caregiver, and father.'' Ms Webb also claimed white Bermudian women earned more than their black colleagues.

On the criminal justice system, Mr. Hall backed Judge Tumim's recommendations.

He particularly underlined the need for non-custodial sentences.

But he stressed there was nothing new in Judge Tumim's report, much of which had already been enunciated by the PLP.

Mr. Hall picked out the Police for a ferocious tongue-lashing.

Calling for a Bermudian Police force, he said he wanted the British and Caribbean Police officers to leave the Country as soon possible.

Too often foreign officers -- with their different attitudes -- "visited heavy-duty policing'' on Bermudians.

And he repeated his earlier claims about the alleged neo-Nazi mentality of some officers.

Mr. Hall also waded into the media, calling for a Press Council to be formed to ensure journalistic responsibility.

Mrs. Browne-Evans urged PLP supporters to organise themselves to prepare for power.
