Two things to laugh about

IN these serious times it is nice to have some comedy, read Friday’s paper.

Birth rate: an objective view

Following the public furore surrounding the tube tying of females by a certain MP and accusations of irresponsible breeding by a certain Reverend, perhaps it would be useful to take an objective view.

Questions for Bradley Roberts

I AM one of the many who constantly ask the questions, “Is Bradley Roberts ever going to shut up?” or “Is Bradley Roberts ever going to say something that he has really thought about?”

Drive with your eyes open

DRIVING around Nassau these days you notice two things.

Warning: An IED for the PLP

The Tribune today, February 1st, 2017, might be described as an IED, (improvised explosive device) set beneath the feet of the Governing Party.

Magnificent rebel MPs

Re: Butler-Turner In Grassroots Plan.

Measure of success

I refer to The Tribune’s article on Thursday, January 12, regarding Prime Minister Perry Christie, along with the more recent revelation that he wishes to hold onto the baton for a while longer. Whilst I have not walked in the man’s shoes, I am astounded that as this point in time he truly believes that he and the current administration have not only done an outstanding job, but have excelled to such an extent as to warrant running for another term in office.

Beyond the VAT

THE explanation that Minister Halkitis gives for “ where da VAT money gone” may be adequate for the audience he addressed at the PLP convention, but his dismal attempt to sell that snowball to a listening public deserves all of the heat that it is getting.

PLP is the best choice

One may say or think whatever they wish about the Progressive Liberal Party (PLP) but my party has always risen to the internal and external challenges which we have ever encountered. We in the PLP do not give up; despair or break off running. We do not play that. The upcoming general elections will be ours to lose, God forbid.

Minnis should resign

AT the end of last year seven FNM MPs upheld a vote of no confidence in Dr Hubert Minnis.

Mirage of support

PLP Nominating - the art of creating a mirage by lumping a number of candidates into one event and creating an image of a considerable support.

The Haiti migration experience

IT was disappointing in the extreme to see The Nassau Guardian (in its editorial of the 30th January) repeat the erroneous characterisation of The Bahamas’ experience with Haitian migration as a mere by-product of Haitian immigration to the United States.

The Black Hole Bank

Monday morning Tribune Business 30th January - BOB warns Preference Shareholders - No dividend!

The errors of our ways

I was delighted to see that the Bahamas National Trust is spearheading a new Tourism product in Bird Tourism.

Halkitis and VAT money

YOU hear it often in the US.... someone has used a fact check as to accuracy of a statement well we certainly need it to respond to the speech of the Minister of State for Finance at the PLP Convention.
