Dear Sir,
If key people in the Government are so incensed with the UK deciding on the new Chief Justice, it seems to me Bermuda should go independent.
Being a colony is a two-way street. Bermuda, or more strictly speaking the present government, can't pick and choose what the responsibilities the mother country should assume, like paying unforeseen bills.
Maybe this altercation confirms that the apple is about to fall from the tree: an analogy used by Adam Smith. Bermuda should stand on its own two legs and cut the apron strings to mix my metaphors badly.
