Speaker Major, how dare you?
I ask this question up front, Dr Kendal Major, how dare you deny the people of Long Island from expressing themselves?

An all-time low

Second chance for students?
Jeanne Thompson, in her letter on October 20, 2015 asks , “Am I the only one...who finds the president of The College of The Bahamas’ disapproval of what he calls ‘unethical journalism’ ironic ?

Re: The new Planning and Subdivision Bill
Stubbs should hold head high
I am relieved that finally someone from the Met Office was honest enough to put a stop to this masquerade. I commend Mr Michael Stubbs for the testicular fortitude displayed to “bite the bullet” and speak the truth. This charade has been going unnecessarily too long.
Dancing while Rome burns
As two thousand more Bahamians joined the multitude of the unemployed, Prime Minister Christie in his inimitable way expounded on his understanding of democracy by deriding any and all challengers for his own job position.
