Don't rely on the postal service

I am sure there have been plenty of letters and news reports while I was away about the Post Office downtown and its workings.

What lies ahead for the new PLP

THE 53rd national convention of the Progressive Liberal Party has now come to a close with the election of the Hon. Philip ‘Brave’ Davis, QC, MP (Cat Island, Rum Cay & San Salvador) as de facto and de jure leader of that entity.

Parliamentary privilege should not differ with each administration

I have read an article in The Tribune, dated October 26, 2017.

Perry Christie out of touch with the people

I read and listened with interest to Perry Christie’s remarks about the recently-concluded PLP convention and he just confirmed for everyone how out of touch he is with us, the people. I am a 29-year-old Bahamian from a traditionally diehard PLP family.

The battle started by Martin Luther is still alive today

October 31, 2017 will mark the 500th anniversary of the German monk, Martin Luther, nailing his 95 theses to the door of the Wittenberg Church.

Sloop Sailing: Is there Hope?

It is imperative that we find and enforce a consistent process by which to expunge or seal certain categories of crimes committed by young people to assist in the social liberation.

Hurricane relief

BAHAMIANS generally have a tendency to respond emotionally to situations that require thoughtful consideration. For example, we often send athletic teams to compete in international competitions.

Watch out, Mr Davis

Well finally Perry Gladstone Christie, has totally and fully left the political arena. I hope Philip “Brave” Davis will not take his counsel, but then it really does not make too much difference as to most, when you see Mr Christie you see Mr Davis.

Taking our beaches back

Re: Activists Triumph in Nygard Dredging Case.

Take our Chance

JUST a few years ago every month there used to be one fund raising Lottery or Game of Chance for established charities or churches - today I believe that one is now three per month and usually the individual one has to obtain an extension of time to sell their tickets because there is so much competition out there.

In praise of Ellison Greenslade

WOULD you kindly provide me with some of your space in your very popular newspaper to praise a great Bahamian, former Commissioner of Police Ellison Greenslade?
