Intolerable situation

The appointment of Lanisha Rolle to the Senate on the advice of Opposition Leader Dr Hubert Minnis was at the outset a huge political blunder. Subsequent events may prove that it may have been the biggest blunder by a political leader in recent times and the self-designed improvised explosive device that will blow up the leadership aspirations of Hubert Minnis.

Gibson and greed

Does anyone else think its ironic for Minister Gibson to call anyone greedy? Does anyone else worry when Fred Mitchell decides to ignore judicial decisions?

Focus on issues

I just did a poll in my office with 25 young voters. 72 per cent of them never even heard of Senator Lanisha Rolle.

51st State

To the response to the federal agents coming into The Bahamas.

Act for country, not promises

The leader of Her Majesty’s Loyal Opposition, Dr Hubert Minnis, has called himself a man of his convictions. The trouble for him is that 15 months before the next general election nine out of 10 Bahamians can’t identify one issue around which he has shown conviction in the three and a half years that he has been in the job.

Right to an opinion

I would like to suggest to Prime Minister Perry Christie that if anyone in his Government is going to speak to the press, presumably on his behalf, that they be required to attend a Dale Carnegie course so that they can learn to speak to and of people with kindness and respect.

French lesson

I have two phrases which I suggest students learning French should look up.

PM blasting through traffic

Has the Prime Minister totally lost all sense of humility and respect for the public?

Really, Mr Watson?

How did your reporter draw the conclusion that Frank Watson’s comments were surprising or candid?

Time to work it out

Thank you for allowing me space for this open letter to Dr Hubert Minnis. Mrs Loretta Butler -Turner and Mr Branville McCartney.

Sporting recognition for Ivan Johnson

Few of us know the publisher of The Punch newspaper was quite a cricket player in England during the 1970s and it’s about time he gets some recognition for it.

Grandma knows best

Calling on real FNMs to settle differences

Please be kind enough to allow me a few lines to address those “True FNMs”, and “Disgruntled Long Island FNM” that wrote concerning the state of the FNM Council, on January 14 and 21 this month.

Senator has no right to doubt Butler-Turner

l am amazed reading this morning’s Guardian 22/2016, and the oft-handed comment from Senator Lanisha Rolle, which is inappropriate, and out of order.

Is Lightbourn spokesperson for the anti-Minnis faction?

The November 16, 2015 edition of National Review gave a thumbnail, supercilious assessment of FNM Leader Dr Hubert Minnis by stating that he is uninspiring, ineffectual, and that he lacks the capability of uniting a team around him.
