First, Premier Brown left Bermuda, monitored it then timed his return to a time when all of the hard groundwork of addressing racism and Bermuda's injustices had been accomplished by those he left behind.

He in fact came back to Bermuda to walk through doors that had essentially been broken open by his peers and others. In short, he came back to reap the benefits of others' struggles.

Bermuda by that time had long been a wide-awake country as a result of the tumultuous 50s, 60s and 70s during Bermuda's civil rights struggles.

Dr. Brown stayed away from that struggle. If Dr. Brown found sleepiness than it was to be found only in his mind or as a result of his late awakening or arrival. In truth, the legacy and political epitaph of Dr. Brown should be prefaced and read as follows: "The administration that should have never been: moving Bermuda backwards five steps at a time whilst giving the sensation of moving forwards."

Dr. Brown, in a self-centred, orgiastic and narcissistic flight of materialistic avarice and greed, has in four short years respectively brought this Country and the PLP to the brink of financial disaster and internecine disunity. We all will rue the day he took office.

The Premier has squandered a golden opportunity to have transformed this community into one of the most progressive and enlightened communities the world could have known. Bermuda, in that regard, would have been the envy of the world.

If Dr. Brown was not such a lover of crass, backward, trickle-down capitalist economics, he may have explored the benefits of the redistribution of the wealth of this country more directly to those more deserving among us by fundamentally transforming an economy set up by capitalistic and unbridled entrepreneurs to benefit themselves from as far back as 1620.

Essentially, the same monetary and taxation practices and policies that obtained under the UBP and benefited the 40 Thieves are being practised and enlarged today under the PLP and Ewart Brown's administration. Again, to the primary benefit of the traditional capitalistic entrepreneurs and nouveau-riche.

How does the working class look to Dr. Brown for help — he loves this system.

Instead of being the best Premier this Country could have seen, Dr. Brown is far and away the worst! Dr. Brown is not a politician interested in fundamental, progressive change. He basks in the status quo!

Dr. Brown's tenure and administration is littered with broken, disappointed and heart-broken would-be successful black entrepreneurs, particularly black male, in imminent danger of losing their homes and livelihoods.

So much for black empowerment under his watch.

Dr. Brown's tenure shall be immortalised by memories of all the stealth-by-night subterfuges, deceiving colleagues, 'smoke and mirror' contracts and other superficial political gadgetry and trinkets.

He shall also be remembered for the extravagant and ostentatious gala events, the UBP of old glitz and glitter, the hoopla of million dollar songsters, golfing events, at prices the average PLP member and supporter do not earn in a week.

This group has been banished to the sidelines by the Brown administration.

Dr. Brown's very own self-adulating Farewell Gala Event was designed to entertain the hoi-polloi with subsequent conscious-salving, scrap-distributing benefits and usual trickle-downs to the lowly working poor much, much later.

If Dr. Brown had any humility, love or feeling for this group he would have provided them tickets at his expense or thrown a separate party at a place of their choosing.

But Dr. Brown is in fact the quintessential capitalist who features large in the epic works of Frantz Fanon's 'Black Skins, White Masks' and 'The Wretched of the Earth' masquerading as the untrustworthy petit bourgeois class who, once they attain power and wealth as a result of their elevation to office, quickly forget their roots and turn upon the very working class who put them there.

Dr. Brown's administration is so reminiscent of George Orwell's 'Animal Farm'.

I very much regret my participation in Dr. Brown's installation as Premier and party leader. He has turned out to be a great disappointment. Lots of promise but no delivery.

Accordingly, it is not surprising to those of us who are in the business of analysing opportunists and revolutionary pimps to hear Dr. Brown castigate unprotected civil servants, bus drivers, taxi drivers etc., and throw them to the public wolves.

He does the same with Ministers and other Bermudians who face him down and who he insults by categorising them as not being as progressive as Jamaicans, Washingtonians or Californians. He constantly brands Bermudians as 'slow to change', lacking a 'can-do attitude' etc.

He confuses Bermudians' niceness for slowness.

Methinks he is in for a great surprise as he clearly, as a result of being away so long nurturing wrong ideas about Bermudians, has taken leave of his senses. Dr. Brown blames everyone else for his unfinished work.

Dr. Brown states that, 'Bermuda is not a welfare state'. I don't quite know what he means by this statement, however, if he means that Bermuda ought not to assist those who need help the most then this attitude is simply in keeping with his usual, unapologetic, insensitive nature towards those less fortunate than himself.

If that is his interpretation, then he has acted contrary to those pronouncements in handing out free bus passes, free day care, free college tuition etc. — all the indicia of a welfare state.

Dr. Brown bemoans welfare states but lived in and benefited from one for decades. The USA, Europe and the UK are welfare states for goodness sakes.

These countries have welfare programmes which act as safety-nets to bolster people through hard financial and economic times. Why would anyone not want that system in place? Everyone is not rich or well-to-do. In Bermuda, the inadequate welfare system of financial assistance is underwritten and supported by the donations of the huge number of charities in this country.

So yes, we are a welfare state already. Where has Dr. Brown been all these years?

This sector of course was not a part of his agenda and ideas that he 'executed and put in action' during his tenure obviously. He didn't know they existed. Nor cared really. Finally, Dr. Brown will also be remembered for his lack of good taste and manners. Swathed in infamy, he doesn't quite know how to leave the stage gracefully and silently.

He would prefer those of us who fall into the category of 'you can't fool all of us any of the time' to actually thank or feel beholden to him for the misfortunes he has brought us. All praises!

Clearly, the Premier is a personification of narcissism on steroids. May he have a speedy, silent and unceremonious departure, please!
