Patterson’s medieval rhetoric
I HAVE profound respect for Dr Ranford Patterson, former head of the Bahamas Christian Council.
A chance for Grand Bahama
THE Progressive Liberal Party (PLP) has been seen off in spectacular fashion, ending ten years of inept governance and corruption.
Teachable moment
At the risk of stating the obvious, the May 2017 general election is a teachable moment for both the outgoing and incoming governments.
A new government
I ALWAYS get edgy when an incoming government’s first recourse to address its financial obligations is to borrow more money.
Baha Mar - and what comes next
DR MINNIS and the new ministers face a daunting task over the next number of years: living with the legacy of Baha Mar.
Blame them
WAYNE Munroe and Brave Davis apparently have accused Dr Minnis of all sorts of things, because all of a sudden the police are cracking down on crime big time.
Ambassador protocol
THERE are established protocols and traditions as to how a Government appoints an Ambassador or High Commissioner.
Forced into retirement
The Bahamian general elections of 2017 is now over with the Free National Movement (FNM) being the victor. They soundly defeated the incumbent Progressive Liberal Party (PLP) at the polls.
Isaacs’ racist rant
PROMINENT PLP Errington “Minky” Isaacs’ racist rant at a party meeting for the retirement of former Prime Minister Perry Christie encapsulates the history of his party’s perennial usage of the race card in order to woo black Bahamian voters.
Where to investigate
THE instructions to the Auditor General from Prime Minister Hubert Minnis were direct and certainly there could be no misunderstanding.
Scorned Mitchell
Re: Mitchell lashes out at FNM win (May 15)
Mitchell’s alternative reality
Fred Mitchell’s “Air Force One” crash-landed in Fox Hill on election night. Neither Captain Freddie nor the wreckage of his gargantuan arrogance and self-importance could initially be found. The search party hoped to spot him at the recount the next day but His Highness was a no show.
Mitchell a danger to democracy
Former Minister Mitchell’s statement following his election defeat is an insult to Bahamians at so many levels.
Bitterness of Fred Mitchell
FORMER PLP MP Fred Mitchell’s press statement over the weekend portrays him as bitter and angry that he has lost the trappings of Cabinet ministers.
Mitchell needs humility
AFTER reading a report in which former Minister of Foreign Affairs and Immigration Fred Mitchell tried to downplay the Free National Movement’s (FNM) landslide victory in the May 10 General Election, where the Progressive Liberal Party (PLP) was annihilated in the polls, I have one question to ask, and I will use common Bahamian vernacular for emphasis: “Bey, you fa real, King?”
