MP Jamahl Simmons — famous for being in all three of Bermuda’s main political parties — switched again last night as he re-joined the PLP to the delight of cheering green-clad faithful.

In a racially charged speech Mr. Simmons, who quit the United Bermuda Party after claiming bigots in his Pembroke West branch were about to dump him, said the UBP party had not changed.

He said: "The leopard doesn't change his spots.

"We can't go back to the days when people's mortgages are pulled if you stand up for the truth."

He said in the days of slavery the slave owners would attack the strongest slaves to scare the rest.

"The tactics haven't changed. The game has changed. They will try to destroy all of your leaders because they want to try and pick the type of people they want." MORE! »
