EDITORIAL: Have we lost our way just to get shares and likes?

There are times when you wonder about the humanity of some people.

EDITORIAL: No comfort over BPL’s failings

If the public was hoping for reassurance from yesterday’s BPL press conference, there was little to be found.

EDITORIAL: It’s time to tell us everything, BPL

“This has gone beyond a crisis. This is an all-out catastrophe.”

It is almost eight years since Marco Archer was murdered, a killing which shocked Bahamians at a time of too many killings.

SO, barring a catastrophe at the polls in the new election, we are almost certainly in line for a second Minnis administration.

THE Democratic National Alliance is, we are sure, well intentioned and wants the best for the Bahamas. It raises its hand to speak every so often, makes a few points which we already pretty much know all about and then disappears back into the shadows.

EDITORIAL: Laws which make sense - for the safety of us all

It’s not often you can look at an incoming piece of legislation and honestly think - about time.

EDITORIAL: Beware the mess Boris is sure to create

Imagine the worst politician you’ve ever seen. A liar, adulterer and buffoon who makes himself, his party and his country look a laughing stock. What can you do with such a person. Well, it’s obvious isn’t it? Make him Prime Minister.
