Kudos to the Carnival organisers – and let's all have some fun

I fully endorse and support the privatisation of carnival…Kudos to the people involved, but, oh yes there is a but…don’t get too far and disrespect the Laws.

Beware a different dumping of sewage

Recently, the government and many in our nation have expressed outrage upon learning that Carnival Corporation cruise ships dumped almost 500,000 gallons of sewage in Bahamian waters in 2017, and rightly so.

Copying America not the way to go

Just why can’t this Hubert A Minnis government ever get a public relations occasion right?

Keep up the good work

I thought that your readers might be interested in this article by a young Turks Islander after a visit to The Bahamas.

Agreed, our customs duties are too high

The pugnacious Pierre Dupuch strayed off the metaphorical reservation. Again.

PLP's attack out of order

The country was shocked to hear of the killing of a Royal Bahamas Defence Force officer at Government House over the weekend. A family has to bear and endure the tragic loss of a loved one. We are all heartbroken.

No wonder we're a mess

This is a letter regarding the article "Crunch time for NIB payouts".

Maillis deserves the credit

I regret having to correct the opinion of the Rev C B Moss that he saved Clifton back then…he is incorrect he was Johnny come lately.

So will Trump remember to look into travel?

Comment from the Minister of Foreign Affairs on President Trump keeping his word to look into Travel Advisories…what a joke you really think President Trump remembered?

Political world closing in on the ridiculous

Since May, 2017 I suggest the best description of the political world is very similar to the soap opera ‘As the world turns’ - mostly very unpredictable and usually questionable closing to the ridiculous.

Medals show the difference

The results of CARIFTA as the public in Nassau have been told was that the Bahamas came second, 2nd…with 26 medals.

Fair play in public life is fast disappearing

It is very interesting to observe that public morality and politics here in our wonderful nation are not practised on a consistent basis, if at all. There are several cases in point but none more glaring than the legalisation of homosexual and lesbian sex between individuals sixteen and over and, of course, the worst one of them all, so far, legalisation and the so-called regulation of gaming or the numbers. The other one is the abject attempts to destroy and belittle genuine politicians and those who are about doing good for this nation. Let’s get down to basics.

Too much hype, not enough beef

Talk in the House of Assembly - Ministers-MP’s need to listen to their comments after they have made contributions.

Morality by consensus is not my way

According to Gallup polls, 4.5% of Americans ‘identify’ as a member of the LGBT community.

Students tackling fossil fuel emissions

We are three Grade 8 students from Lyford Cay International School (LCIS). As part of our curriculum, which emphasises community-mindedness and being well rounded, Grade 8 students explain how to take action to address an issue within our community. As part of our community project, we have chosen to spread awareness about how carbon dioxide, other greenhouse gases and harmful emissions produced by burning fossil fuels are harming The Bahamas while highlighting what can be done to fix it.
