Price war
JOHN ISSA’S comments on the generally accepted fear of a hotel price war are interesting if not significant.
Sports and politics
It’s easy to see why politicians love sports champions and celebrities. But all too often we are left wondering if the affection is reciprocated.
Christian Council land
Why on earth does The Bahamas Christian Council think that they need a building for themselves, and why more serious does this new Government think the BCC should be granted Crown property?
Questions for the govt
THERE are issues of far greater concern.
Achilles hell of the PLP
An Official Opposition (PLP) member has exposed his party’s Achilles heel when expressing contempt for the newly elected Prime Minister’s national address.
Bail’s bad for your health

It's the people's finances
I HAVE purposely allowed a few days to pass, after the Prime MInister’s address to reply.
Crumbling post office
THERE have been many remarks recently concerning the deplorable state of our main post office, both in structure and function. There are possibly at least two explanations for this:
Minnis becomes a true leader
Dr Hubert A Minnis (FNM-Killarney), our erstwhile Prime Minister, has transformed himself into a “real” leader right before our eyes. This is remarkable in that less than a year ago, the good doctor had been written off by many Bahamians and political pundits.

No more tit for tat
Wayne Munroe seems to be gearing up to attempt to blackmail the FNM government and PM Dr Hubert Minnis by presenting his alleged list of corrupt FNM politicians, past and present, to the Anti-Corruption Unit.

With or without their approval, Munroe intends to flex his legal muscle by taking on the FNM government unilaterally.
NHI wastage
On May 31, you printed a letter from me questioning why government should continue with NHI. In that letter it stated...
Tribune is out of touch
I’m not sure what happened, but it seems as if The Tribune is a bit out of touch with the sentiment of the public lately. For example, what on earth was with their headline on Thursday?
Must We Handcuff All Defendants?
Since when did the pursuit of justice start with the public humiliation of an accused person? For too long we have sat on the sidelines and watched as defendants in criminal cases are brought before magistrates and judges handcuffed, shackled at the feet and escorted by the burliest officers on the Police Force.
Listen to the truth, Mr Davis
Opposition Leader Philip “Brave” Davis likened PLP MP Chester Cooper to “a child who tells the truth no matter what the cost” for his very candid assessment of their party’s recent election loss.
