Flawed survey

THE FNM - Wilson Perkins Allen Opinion Poll taken between November 29th and December 5th.

Minnis has self destructed

Today in the House of Assembly, the Speaker read into the record of the House the communique from the Governor General, confirming that the MP for Long Island, Loretta Butler-Turner is the first Leader of the Opposition in the history of the Bahamas.

The Duke in The Bahamas

RECENTLY, I finished reading Sir Orville Turnquest’s What Manner of Man Is This? The Duke of Windsor’s Years In The Bahamas (1). An inspiring book and superb view of Bahamian history as only a man of Sir Orville Turnquest’s distinguished, esteemed pilgrimage through The Bahamas enrichment could pen.

A coup, but with grace

In keeping with the Francophiles among us, may I submit that rather than the Coup that everyone is now referring to as a coup d’état, that what took place was in fact a coup de grâce.

The Wisdom of Solomon

Excluding the Lord Jesus Christ, the biblical King Solomon is considered to be the wisest man who ever lived.

Mitchell and the Secretariat

This is a continuation of a previous letter on Fred Mitchell’s Baroness twisting in the Wind.

Minnis should resign

THE use of the Constitution yesterday by the FNM MP’s, the seven, was totally in compliant with the Constitution Article 82 clause 4.

Collapse of the FNM

WHATEVER may be Dr Minnis’ success in remaining “leader” and technically expelling the Dissident Seven from FNM party membership, the fact is he has lost the big power game.

Pride over jobs in The Bahamas

Looking at the way our society is heading the common man today doesn’t have much support or none at all, no matter which direction he or she turns. Whether it be the government, church, a neighbour, family or your good friend, but there is something today that when we have it we appear to take it for granted – and that is our jobs.

Tourism levels really a success?

WHAT are our actual, net stay-over visitor levels? How many ‘oo’s do we attract by holding Government meetings, etc…?
