Unfair to Colours
Colours were unfairly treated in the B category 2024 New Year’s Day Junkanoo Parade, said Dion Miller, Chairman of the Junkanoo Corporation New Providence.
Bet on web shops
I am by no means a proponent of our web shops and more so, how they came to legitimacy following a plebiscite which clearly said the Bahamian people were against them being legitimised.
An Iconique night
On Friday, February 16, I had the distinct pleasure of attending the Ballet “Iconique” performance held at Old Fort Bay.
Free press and freedom of speech
PLEASE allow me a little space in your esteemed publication to express a few thoughts on the recent remarks made by Prime Minister Philip Davis on how the media reports on murder cases in the Bahamas.
PM’s failure being felt
PRIME Minister Philip Davis’ failure as a leader with no vision, idea and plan to reduce the high crime, robberies, murders and rapes is now impacting the livelihoods of the Bahamian people.
PM’s press comments concerning
Please permit me to express my opinion here. I see the Prime Minister has stated that the print media should not place stories of murders on the front page.
Weakened media helps ‘Brave’
Perchance it was divine providence that led Prime Minister Philip Brave Davis to lecture the Bahamian media fraternity about not placing murder stories on the front pages of the newspapers.
Unfettered press is key to democracy
One of the surest hallmarks of democracy is a free and unfettered press.
Goodman’s Bay is not for sale
I read in one of the dailies that Mr Paul Wynn made a proposal to the government to purchase the property just east of Goodman’s Bay, stating that if his proposal is granted, he would develop the property and spend an additional three million (or whatever the sum) towards the renovations or refurbishment of Goodman’s Bay for public use, as a goodwill gesture. Ha! ha!!!!
No room for political censorship
There is no room for political censorship in our Commonwealth! At the heart of our democracy lies a fundamental principle: the unalienable right of the press to operate freely. As a student of journalism, I find the Prime Minister’s recent remarks, suggesting that media should avoid front-page coverage of crime to protect tourism, not just troubling but fundamentally flawed.
Are fifty somethings “obsolete”?
“This is a sore point for many older adults. As we age medical science and healthcare mean we are well and able far longer than in the past - but are viewed as needing to move on and out of the workplace even when we could offer some wisdom and mentoring to the newer workforce.” (Linda Nicholls).
Why no income tax?
Exactly who do the PLP thinks it is serving by yet again “ruling out” personal income tax becomes less clear by the day.
The middle class under pressure
Much has been made of Prime Minister Philip Brave Davis’ recent trip to Uganda in which he took part in the Non-Aligned Movement Summit. It was probably a representative for the Davis camp who took photos of him feeding chimpanzees while in Uganda, apparently not realising the backlash it would cause.
