You should use your vote
THROUGHOUT the world, the political class is held in contempt today.
The Privy Council Mimic Men
In 1967 Trinidadian Nobel Laureate V. S. Naipaul published his brilliant novel, The Mimic Men, which wove a sad narrative about the colonial mindset embedded in many of those colonised by the British.
Clear the secrets, clear the doubts
Baha Mar – does Cheng-Fook Enterprises own the property or… Clear positive signs that finally we will see Baha Mar, however, there is no doubt many legal questions of ownership - Licensing - who is employing have to be answered and not further shrouded in Court secrecy.
That’s where the VAT has gone
IT seems we are witnessing where the VAT money is going......official fancy banquets.
Bahamas post service
I am finally to the point that I am resorting to writing to the newspaper even though I know that it will not really change anything. I am so beyond tired of the work ethic in our country.
No need to destroy one of Acklins’ natural attractions
ABOUT ten years ago I wrote the Rt Hon Perry Christie informing him the government was about to destroy one of the most historic sites in Acklins by giving a purchase lease of the site to a non-Bahamian. Mr Christie did not reply to my letter but a civil servant called me to say that my letter to Mr Christie was passed on to him, and that as soon as Mr George Mackey, Chairman of the Antiquities and Monuments, returned to Nassau from a trip to the United States they wanted to visit the site in Acklins.
New Bill sounds familiar
FOR those of us who are old enough to have lived through the years of the 2nd World War and can remember the horrors of the Nazi regime and their iron fist, the proposed Interception of Communication Bill sounds very familiar. If this Bill is passed and becomes law I am prompted to ask if it would then be appropriate to refer to the Prime Minister as “Mein Fuhrer”?
Why no justice for Latore Mackey?
I WAS extremely upset to learn that those responsible for the murder of Latore Mackey, former aide to Prime Minister Christie, will seemingly escape justice.
Making sense of PM Perry Christie’s obscene gesture
IT took Sir Lynden O Pindling a quarter of a century to be dubbed the worst leader in modern Bahamian history - surpassing the infamous United Bahamian Party government under Sir Roland Symonette and Sir Stafford Sands, the so-called white oligarchy.
The referendum on web shops
BEFORE we all forget didn’t the PLP in 2013 call us to a referendum on Web Shops and whether we wanted a National Lottery?
Shame of Christie’s lewd, tasteless, despicable gesture
THIS morning’s Nassau Guardian features a stunning photograph of our nation’s Prime Minister flipping the bird towards his critics.
PM’s finger flip not offensive enough
SOCIAL media sites literally went viral the day after Prime Minister, The Rt Honourable Perry Christie, put up his middle finger while addressing a rally in Fox Hill on Monday.
Martial law, spy capabilities
MARTIAL law, combined with NIA & Intercept/Spy capabilities, might well be useful in fighting crime.
Alternative facts from URCA?
Last week, at the business launch for the new mobile company Aliv, it was stated by the company’s CEO Damian Blackburn that Aliv had managed to capture 25 per cent of the market share in 12 weeks. While I have been following the company’s aggressive tactics, I was quite alarmed by the statistics presented, mainly because I recently researched telecommunications in the country and the numbers seemed off.
NHI has a surprise for male patients
I’ve just downloaded and reviewed the draft of the NHI Bahamas Primary Care Benefits Package (Physician Services), which I am sure has been extensively (and expensively) reviewed by the finest medical and legal minds in the government and the civil service, as well as in medical, legal and insurance professions.
