Minnis fails to inspire party
IF the future of the country was not at stake the drama of Bahamian politics would be comical.
Nottage speaks
FINALLY, the Minister of National Security, the Hon. Dr Bernard Nottage has broken his silence on the recent crime spree in New Providence. But will his rant in the House of Assembly cause a crime solution to be effected?
Fighting the fires
Once again I would ask you to bear with me and publish my thoughts, this time on our public services as they relate to fire control. I would like to make this an open letter to Chief Fireman EVANS.
Little comfort
Re: Wayne Munroe. “Interception Bill will fulfil international obligations.”
Symonette is tone deaf
Brent Symonette is a stunningly naïve man.

We do not have a crime problem
I would like to go on record and disagree with all of the talk show hosts and media personalities who think that we have a crime problem; to listen to them pontificate you get the impression that this situation is something new.
Listen to Bishop Boyd
WHEN a head of a denomination speaks and speaks loudly on live television the content of his address has to be taken seriously. We should listen carefully to what Bishop Laish Boyd of the Anglican Church had to say as he said a lot.

Well-deserved extension
I am pleased to see that the Hon Chief Justice of The Commonwealth of The Bahamas, Sir Hartman Longley, has been granted an extension of his stellar career in this invaluable judicial office.
A civics lesson is needed
Two academics and an activist want to use disaffected Bahamian voters as guinea pigs. In what can only be described as some kind of weird social experiment these highly educated people want to run a ridiculous test that has as its goal the achievement of absolutely, positively nothing.
New Providence was never safer?
THE police have stepped up saturation patrols in crime hot spot areas.
We must reject govt snooping
The government’s proposal to make it easier to intercept private correspondence should send chills running down everyone’s spine, especially given the leaking of private emails.
The state of the Opposition
The call is being made for the Opposition forces in the nation to unite, but that call is coming too late. We heard no such talk when the official Opposition and its leader kept their shoulder to the wheel in the role of opposing, even when those who were elected to those positions refused to be led; we now know that they could never be led or would not allow themselves to be lead anywhere by anyone.
Future health insurance plan
NHI - what will we get?
