Counting the cost of crime
In The Tribune dated June 19, 2014, it was reported under the headline “62 murders – but major crime down”: “Although 62 murders have been recorded for the year so far, statistics show that most major crime categories have decreased significantly, National Security Minister Dr Bernard Nottage announced yesterday.”
In response to Tada
So Terneille Burrows, aka “Tada”, recently said that she is a part of the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual Transgender (LGBT) community.
Minnis has PM on the retreat
I have been reading with more than slight interest the catfight that certain media interests are trying to stimulate between the Leader of the Opposition, Dr Hubert Minnis and his Deputy, Loretta Butler-Turner.
Questions for the PM
Please allow me space in your columns to address two questions to our illustrious Prime Minister, the Rt Hon. Perry Christie:
Squandered opportunity for Rollins
We have all heard the old adage, “The road to hell is paved with good intentions”. This describes the current situation of Andre Rollins. A young politician who portrayed an eagerness to make a difference for the betterment of our country, but is clearly on a path to self-destruction.
When Dr Minnis was undermining Turnquest
Life is strange. I see Dr Hubert Minnis going around trying to call disloyal others in the party who have a right to express their views and who have a right to seek whatever office they choose in the FNM. He keeps talking about how FNMs should be ever so faithful to him personally as the Leader of the party.
Minnis coming into his own
I have listened and watched with great interest the ongoing attacks on the leader of the Opposition Dr Hubert Minnis by The Nassau Guardian editorial, National Review, Simon Front Porch, etc.

Rollins: Ignorance or arrogance?
On Tuesday, Dr Andre Rollins got his wish for a headline-grabbing story complete with a coloured head shot when he threatened to name names if Renward Wells is fired.
Big Bang and The Bible
Respected scientists around the globe theorise about how the universe began. The Big Bang Theory puts forth that there was some type of cosmic force that existed before the universe began.
Rollins on thin ice
FORT Charlotte Progressive Liberal Party (PLP) MP Dr Andre Rollins’ recent threat to divulge damning information relating to his friend Renward Wells’ signing of a $600m plus letter of intent with Stellar Waste Energy has all but eroded any vestige of goodwill that remained for him within the PLP among its leadership and its base of votaries.
Were those workers needed?
I was much exercised by the recent Tribune headline informing us that Government workers were going on strike. My first reaction, naturally enough, was “How would we ever know?” but I dismissed that thought as unworthy.
Leadership crisis
According to the online Webster’s dictionary leadership is synonymous with guidance, direction, control and management. A lack of leadership would be the opposite of the four characteristics mentioned above.
Paying for influence
Having listened to segments of the alleged debate in the Parliament on the Gaming Act and heard the explanation of the Prime Minister/Minister of Finance as to who paid for the gaming consultants etc … if you missed the explanation, incredibly the parties who, for years, that have been operating illegally were billed through their attorneys to pay for the consultation.
