Learned our lesson?
Re: PM talks of “teachable moment” amid anger over govt response (The Tribune, October).
Retire, Mr Christie
Perry Christie is an affable man. He likes doing his version of the “soft shoe shuffle”. He reminds me of another leader from a few thousand years back – Nero emperor of Rome. Whilst Rome was burning Nero played the fiddle.
Ingraham return a nightmare
Please permit me to express a few thoughts of national importance. Some political pundits along with some disgruntled FNMs, paid political media and newspaper operatives are “beating the drums“ of a possible return of “Herbertus Maximus”. The former Prime Minister has not indicated officially that he would return to frontline politics, except to give vague generalizations about his retirement from the “game”.
First class after Erika
State of emergency in Dominica our sister CARICOM country, following the devastation caused by the tropical storm Erika, surely does not require our Foreign Affairs Minister to fly from Nassau to Dominica, to evaluate what possible aid The Bahamas could give?
The friendly arm of the law
Re: Criminals Must Understand That Government Is Not Their Friend (The Tribune, Editorial, September 23).
Support the police
Advice has been forthcoming from Police Officers and their former colleagues on crime for decades. The politicians from the Pindling era never really considered our suggestions. In the following paragraphs I will provide some advice on measures that should be considered and implemented. I will be brief and I will be open to the public for questions and discussions.
Moss plans for new party
I wish to commend and congratulate the Member of Parliament for Marco City, Gregory Moss on his announcement of the formation of a new political party.
Term limits
I see that Opposition Leader Dr Hubert Minnis is once again talking about term limits for a prime minister. Dr. Minnis is clearly not capable of learning. After three years as FNM Leader, he keeps making the same mistakes and repeating the same old foolishness. He is also a big hypocrite when it comes to term-limits.
Sniping about Minnis
I could only shake my head in wonder at today’s headline – “FNM divided over Minnis.”
It’s time to say the necessary thing: Christie must go
I truly enjoy reading Mr Ortland Bodie’s commentaries. They are usually informative, well written and in a lot of cases give insight to meaningful issues affecting our country.
Is this how we should appear?
I really think everyone in this government suffers from severe myopia or total blindness.
Nottage and crime
The Minister of National Security, Dr Bernard Nottage, is coming apart at the seams, it seems. Dr Nottage feels that the government should be lauded and applauded when there is a lull in murders – not a sustained reduction, mind you – but a lull.
Christie’s legacy
Now that the Chinese State Construction Company has “agreed” to proceed with the necessary construction work at Baha Mar and provisional liquidators are in place to ensure the orderly and dispassionate operations at that property, there is the possibility that a second plank would have been laid on the legacy platform which the Prime Minister is seeking to build. His “testament” is being rolled out, finally.
Blackbeard’s Cay case
Kindly allow me space to respond to the interview with Wayne Munroe published 23rd September in The Tribune, on the Blackbeard’s Cay matter.
Waste collection
I am a resident of Stapledon Gardens and sometime ago our garbage was collected on a weekly basis.
