Mitchell’s ignorance
FRED Mitchell states that one of the reasons for declaring that Cuban detainee Marin was “a flight risk” was that Marin had “previous service in the Cuban military” (sounds ominous doesn’t it).
Age just a number
Prime Minister Perry Christie’s decision to lead the PLP into the 2017 general elections at the ripe age of 73 might have been partially influenced by American geopolitics.
A man that has beaten the odds
Last night, Hon Andrew Holness, Jamaica’s JLP Leader, whose leadership came under question time and time again from his own party members, won the election against Portia Simpson Miller and the JLP, a party that was predicted to win by a landslide by just about every forecast done!
Keep gender debate non-partisan
This week, House Members are scheduled to vote on the four gender equality Bills.
How far ahead do we plan?
I see the series of ‘Outlook Seminars’ are starting their 2016 series….have to ask: for what betterment the speakers never are candid - dance around the subject matter and the politicians just make a farce of them so really I conclude a waste of a day and the attendance fee.
NHI: No cost to you! Seriously?
In a recent online publication by Dr Delon Brennen touting the new National Health programme, he mentioned the words NO COST TO YOU no less than four times and FREE once in the space of one minute. I do not know how this man can sleep at night knowing that what he is telling the Bahamian public is not true.
Political cowardice
It is an appalling act of cowardice that the powers that be should attempt to throw the attorney who appeared for the Crown in the habeas corpus application under the bus.
Action, not bickering
I was dismayed to read your article of February 24th “Minnis lacks support of white Bahamians”. It is unfortunate that attorney Michael Scott thought it appropriate to make a generalisation about people’s opinion based on skin colour, something I think that has no place in today’s society.
Web shop economic impact
It is very interesting that few, if any, of those persons who complain about the depressed state of the Bahamas economy, consider the impact that the web shops have, and continue to have, in this regard.
Cuban doctors to spread socialism?
As I travelled down the valley of life, I banked around a corner and smelled what appeared to be a decaying rat. As I went further, the smell increased and, lo and behold, at the end of the valley there was indeed a dead rat, the proposed National Health Insurance plan.
Were hecklers hired for meeting?
According to The Nassau Guardian, between eight to 10 young men disrupted an FNM Torchbearers nomination meeting on Wednesday night.
Cuban case highlights Rufa matter
For those who weren’t sure what to make of the case of Bruno Rufa in Freeport, the case of the Cubans is instructive.
What does the PLP fear?
Another postponement of the PLP convention - clearly the leadership fears something as a convention is totally controlled and only involves three-four days at the most.
Decline of Bay Street
It is truly said that “it is an ill wind that blows nobody any good”.
Hawksbill meddling
Hawksbill and Grand Bahama Port Authority - looks as if PM Christie wants to meddle here now.
