The cause of the crime waves
THERE is absolutely no doubt the liberal granting of bail to persons who must be locked up because they are a constant threat to the peace and tranquility of our neighbourhoods is the cause.
Chinese Titanic

We have no First Lady
“The Monkey Song” is a once popular calypso about a frustrated gentleman who couldn’t seem to shake a monkey off his back. He tries and tries but every sound he makes, every move he takes the monkey mimics him. (You can hear it by Googling Blind Blake and the Royal Victoria Calypsos).

We March assessment
AS a newly minted 50-year-old Bahamian who is currently a political independent I felt a sense of cautious optimism towards the We March effort. I felt that at the very least their efforts would result in the entrenched political operatives becoming more aligned with the will of the people and move legislation in that regard. I was encouraged by the lead organisers’ declaration that the march would not be political and that ALL persons were welcomed to participate.
