After organising anti-Ewart Brown rallies and speaking out against his style of leadership, Janice Battersbee has not given up.

The protests began in June with Mrs. Battersbee as the main spokesperson for the group, BERMUDIANS.

With three rallies under their belt, the group maintains their call for Premier Ewart Brown to step down.

However, they are encouraging people to express their thoughts in the form of letters to the editor instead of with signs and placards.

And despite rumours, Mrs. Battersbee was not threatened or targeted for her involvement.

Mrs. Battersbee said: "We are encouraging people to use the media that they have available. We haven't gone away, we're just allowing due process.

"The main word is that we have not gone away. The cause has not died but others need to get involved. Other people need to get involved. So will they?"

Asked if the group is still calling for Dr. Brown to step down, Mrs. Battersbee said: "Yes, most definitely. That call will not change.

"It is not a case of wanting the government to change it is just the leadership but we will respect due process. We are watching. We are watching."

The activist said the group isn't sitting back but "closely monitoring the situation".

Asked if there will be anymore protests in the future, she said: "Protests will always be an option. We were very encouraged by that.

"We have been told by many that you know it's something that has revitalised a sense of pride and responsibility.

"It showed that when protests are done respectfully, there is an opportunity to be done in a respectful manner. And hopefully we will have more to turn out."

Speaking on the lack of support from the black community on the outside, Mrs. Battersbee said there is "most definitely" support.

"Hopefully in the communities, they will see the necessity for not only giving verbal support but physical support.

We are willing to stand up and be seen and we would hope that others will be encouraged by it.

"Again it is about right and wrong, not about race. It has never been about race.

A lifelong PLP member, Mrs. Battersbee said at the time, the protests were not only against Dr. Brown failing to consult with the UK over the resettlement of the Uighurs, but an "accumulation of leadership decisions". Asked if she still considers herself a member of the party, she said: "Yes, I support any party that has the country at heart and Iwould leave it at that. The country's best interest at heart from leadership all the way down." Speaking on future projects, Mrs. Battersbee said:"I think it's important that we do keep people up to date on ourselves and our actions just to assure them that we aren't going away. We have not given up. We are just allowing the process to play itself out. "It's good just every now and then to let people know what were up to. "We have a couple of projects in mind which we will be announcing not right now but there are a couple of projects coming out that we hope the community will get on board with. "It's focused around more unity. We want to encourage that. I think we have already started something and we want to keep it going."
