A COMIC'S VIEW: Pointless permits and chiming bells
There were a few interesting developments on the horizon this past week. Let’s begin.
YOUNG MAN'S VIEW: Corruption inside the walls of Fox Hill prison
CORRUPTION is rife at the Bahamas Department of Correctional Services, formerly known as the Her Majesty’s Prison, Fox Hill.
VIEW FROM AFAR: Importance of Disabilities Act
THE important Persons with Disabilities Act was gazetted on August 13, 2014. It establishes a National Commission for Persons with Disabilities managed by a board of trustees.
TOUGH CALL: Human rights abuses in The Bahamas
IN 2005, I wrote a column about human rights abuses in the modern Bahamas.
POLITICOLE: Gun violence and gun control - America and The Bahamas
I’m riding through an American town and I see from a fair distance a giant sign, red print on a white background, “G U N S...”, and underneath those four letters, “...and more”. Conceivably, the “and more” are accessories.
YOUR SAY: Opposition leader’s statement on the 2,000 Baha Mar layoffs
IT is with deep grief and concern for my fellow Bahamians that I received the news of the layoffs of 2,000 Bahamian men and women as a result of the winding up of the Baha Mar resort.
A COMIC'S VIEW: Time to hang up the jester’s hat, Mr Roberts
WHAT a topsy-turvy week it has been, with mud-slinging of all varieties from both sides of the political divide.
YOUNG MAN'S VIEW: The storm that tore away the pretence of competence
HURRICANE Joaquin has not only made broad swaths of our people homeless refugees within their own country, but the storm is daily exposing the failed planning and incompetency of our government.
Seeing beyond the disability
OCTOBER marks National Disability Employment Awareness month when those with disabilities in the working environment are celebrated and recognised and awareness about disability employment issues raised.
POLITICOLE: How opinions can inspire real change
I am often asked, in real time: “Are you gonna write about this?” “Are you gonna write about me?”
A COMIC'S VIEW: Sixty million ways to ruin your week
I have to say, I was having a fairly decent week right up until I read yesterday’s Tribune headline.
YOUNG MAN'S VIEW: Crossing words with Darron Cash
TWO weeks ago, I wrote a column entitled ‘War in the ranks of the FNM’ where I talked about the challenges the Free National Movement faced, analysed why, referenced a Facebook posting by former chairman Darron Cash and proposed solutions. In turn, Mr Cash wrote me a disrespectful, vitriolic email.
YOUR SAY: Change needed in the Bahamian judiciary
Finally, a politician has opened his eyes and spied the 800-pound gorilla that has now taken up most of the room and is sucking out the oxygen. Too bad that the keen-eyed observation had to come from a member of a government that is also complicit in the breakdown of law, order and public safety in The Bahamas.
POLITICOLE: Hurricane redevelopment and Bahamian self-reliance
TO NO one’s surprise, I am sure, the aftermath of Hurricane Joaquin reveals a long list of developmental inadequacies in The Bahamas.
