Support for Richard Lightbourn

REF: Recent Statement by MP Richard Lightbourn regarding single mothers giving birth to more than two children.

Thank you for tribute to Cindy

I wish to thank the Ministry of Tourism for recognising the contributions of the late Cindy Williams, during her employment at ZNS. This is especially fitting as ZNS is celebrating its 70th anniversary.

Cash and his ridiculous claim

Darron Cash’s suggestion that Dr Minnis ran a campaign based on race is ridiculous and the media, which has been very biased, should make Mr Cash substantiate any such claim.

Sears brings a glimmer of light

FOLLOWING the shambolic Free National Movement Convention one thing was pellucidly clear: neither the present leader or the aspirant has the wherewithal to lead this country.

Lightbourn’s political Kryptonite

Richard Lightbourn stumbled into a room full of FNMs and bumbled around like an old gelding that couldn’t tell the difference between an abattoir and a stable. Either way, he is political dead meat and he will surely be put out to pasture soon. Only the good people of Montagu can save him now.

The single parent society

While Richard Lightbourne’s recent comments regarding mandatory sterilisation of unwed mothers were neither tasteful nor tactful, there is no denying the message he was attempting to articulate however repugnant it might seem for many of us.

A chance to clarify privilege

The recent landmark ruling by Supreme Court Justice Indra Charles against Minister of Education Jerome Fitzgerald for leaking private emails in the House of Assembly sounds so familiar.

Responsible parenting

NOW THAT we have accepted that women are free to have as many children as they wish or they can bear, and we have excoriated the hapless Richard Lightbourn for his unwise, unfortunate and offensive remarks at the FNM Convention last week, perhaps we can use some of that passion positively to effect change to a problem which we have been ignoring for decades - responsible parenting.

Wrong to apologise

THE haste with which Mr Richard Lightbourn retracted his statements regarding ‘tubal ligations’ was unwarranted and so are the attempts to eviscerate him in the media.

Only in The Bahamas!

The audacity of the cronies in our Bahamas is astounding! Only in the Bahamas would a leading physician in the Ministry of Health in conjunction with some politicians have the audacity to be a partner in a physician group which has presented a proposal to provide the government its services as an Independent Practice Association (IPA) to administrate parts of the government’s NHI proposed scheme.

In defence of Richard Lightbourn

I continue to be surprised by the unfair criticism that is being levelled against Mr Richard Lightbourn for his “tube tying” comments at the recent FNM convention.

Turning on our women

IT IS so sad when we, as Bahamians, have no respect in desecrating some of our finest ladies in our country.

We accept apology of Mr Lightbourn

Mr Richard Lightbourn is our MP. He has assisted in the community of Kemp Road consistently and without any issues.

Butler-Turner deserted by fellow MPs

FREE National Movement Leader Dr Hubert Minnis has extended the olive branch to Loretta Butler-Turner and her large group of senior supporters as well as members of the media who have been busy undermining him over the last three plus years.

What next for Minnis?

WHAT really are Hon. Hubert Minnis’ plans for the FNM?
