Bullying a problem going too far

I cannot explain with words how terrible a person can feel if they happen to be a bullying victim. But what is bullying you may wonder.

Tennyson dead wrong - again

My self-serving, narcissistic, overbearing, thin-skinned, oligarchic newest best friend Tennyson Wells has elevated me to the level of superstar. He has gifted me my very own groupies.

Minnis will prevail

As the Free National Movement’s convention draws near, it does my heart good to see the support that Dr Minnis is getting not just from the Nassau supporters, but from the Family Islands as well. While the battle for leadership raged, Dr Minnis has remained focused and done his work well. The sign of a great leader!

After the referendum

In the aftermath of the Referendum, there is much speculation. It is disturbing to hear accusations that the Bahamian people are ignorant or misogynistic, xenophobic or homophobic.

Casting the first stone

In recent times, Bahamians have been consumed with the realisation that many of our sons and daughters are not subscribing to what we call “old school” methodology. The discussion of alternative lifestyle has caused us to abandon Christian principles and become God himself.

The illogical fallacy of CA Smith

I should be grateful if you would permit me a little space to comment on the unwarranted attack by retired Parliamentarian and Ambassador to Washington C A Smith on retired Governor General Sir Arthur Foulkes which he made by open letter on the 10th June 2016.

Unpaid real property tax as much as $400m

I am hearing that Real Property Tax people are starting a re-evaluation process…if it is to create an electronic data base I certainly support that BUT if it is to re-assess, probably increase the Tax Assessment I take the greatest objection seeing that the department has an inability or convenience not to be able to collect over $400m in back unpaid assessments.

The consequences of the referendum

To the enlightened and the educated who are overwhelmingly in the minority in The Bahamas the result of the referendum was a huge disappointment.

Apology to Sir Arthur

I would be grateful if you would kindly publish this note of apology to Sir Arthur Foulkes, who has confirmed that he is not the writer of the article published in The Guardian of June 2 under the nom de plume Simon.

Butler-Turner should return to the PLP

Long Island MP Loretta Butler-Turner has yet to decide on taking on Dr Hubert Minnis for the FNM Leadership position at the party’s July convention. Butler-Turner is attempting to appear modest to FNMs.

Financial sovereignty

Whilst Bahamians have been actively opposing one another for the past several weeks leading up to the recent referendum, it would appear that other serious business has been silently but inexorably moving full steam ahead on the other side of the curtain.

Decision time for the FNM

Much has been said about the leadership struggles within the FNM. On one hand you have a man that was handed the reigns after just being introduced to frontline politics five years prior, and on the other you have a collection of experienced men and a woman who despite their best efforts seem to lose their voice amidst the noise from the core support of the leader.

The reason for the fight in the FNM

Let me say at the beginning I am a supporter of the FNM. Truly I am disgusted at the continuous quarrel over the leadership position in the party

Prime Minister of convenience?

Results of Referendum – is Prime Minister Christie the Prime Minister or only the PM when it suits him to be?

The man behind the pen of Simon Front Porch

This open letter to ‘Simon’ of Front Porch is written in direct response to Sir Arthur Foulkes who hides his identity by masquerading under the nom de plume “Simon”, “Bahama pundit” and whatever other names he gives himself in The Nassau Guardian and his letters to the press.
