The Opposition Leader weighed in on the row in the Senate yesterday calling on the Premier to have a "disciplinary talk" with the Government Leader in the Upper House Sen. David Burch.

Wayne Furbert said in a statement: "The Senator's rant in the Senate crossed the line during the motion to adjourn.

"To call the people squatting in the former Club Med staff dormitories 'monsters' is absolutely cold-hearted, brutal and destructive."

Mr. Furbert echoed the suggestion laid out by Sen. Gina Spence-Farmer that the squatters at Club Med are there with the "provisional authority" of the Government.

He added: "The Senator's statement that if he had his way he would arrest my colleague, Sen. Gina Spence-Farmer, for her work with the squatters is totally unacceptable and obviously threatening.

"This Government more and more is showing itself to be about threats against those who oppose. All Bermudians should be concerned about this anti-democratic tendency. It is, to borrow Sen. Burch's recently used word, 'un-Bermudian'."
