Stand with Greenslade
Recent information published in the media and statements made by the Hon Prime Minister makes it appear that the Commissioner of Police and his executive management team are being blamed for the murder rate in our country.
Stop the blame game on murders
I was somewhat amazed when reading your editorial on January 7, 2015, about the Prime Minister saying it might have been unwise of him blaming the FNM for the crime problem in our country.

What a load of garbage
Renward Wells, in the course of his latest evasive ramblings, claims he signed the Stellar Waste LOI to enable that company to “carry out studies” free of charge to present to the Cabinet.
An embarrassing situation
It was a sad situation to see that E J Bowe came to Freeport to deal with VAT compliance only to find out that there were many items over priced in different stores in Freeport.
Chinese colonialism concerns
Much as I admire the independent spirit and patriotism of your articulate young columnist Adrian Gibson, I fear that his recent column (January 15) verges on hysteria in his

Is it like the recent Sideburns cartoon illustration where it was mentioned that the nation has an average “D-” in maths and thus are unable to comprehend VAT? However, many of the issues I raise below are not solely targeted at the uneducated or uninformed – these are issues where the educated middle-class should be hollering
