No record of victimisation
You recently published a letter which may have been a well-intentioned attempt to demonstrate support for the new Leader of the FNM and admiration for his ability to positively impact political discourse in our country going forward.
Support the leader
A lion was watching three bulls feeding in an open field.
The trouble with envy
Envy is one of the most potent causes of unhappiness. It is certainly the most joyless of the Seven Deadly Sins.
Late-again PLP must end discrimination against women
It is a cruel twist of fate that Fred Mitchell, the only Parliamentarian in either of the Houses of Parliament (he was a PLP Senator at the time) to vote against the Resolution to abolish all forms of discrimination against women in The Bahamas in 2002 was given the privilege by Prime Minister Christie, of announcing in Parliament that 10 years too late, the late again-PLP finally understand that discrimination against Bahamian women is wrong. Still, as they say: “better late than never.”
Gambling debate rages on
The debate on the legalization of a lottery rages on.
Thanks to staff at PMH for their care
I have benefited from the professional service and care that has been provided by several of the fine employees of the Male Orthopaedic Ward of the Princess Margaret Hospital.
To nationalise or re-nationlise
It concerns me seriously that journalists, who might not know better as I suspect, owing to their surname are not Bahamian, use the word “re-nationalise” in the context of the ongoing proposal arising from a pre-election promise, to the reality of face-to-face discussions between the Government and Cable & Wireless, whereas the intent is for the Government to re-establish that the majority of the equity shares will be held by the Treasurer of The Bahamas instead of the people.
Complicitous nuances
Politicians do dumb things in the name of the “party line”, and a certain level of “dumbness” can be expected from them as they go about doing what they think is best in a particular moment.
Policing without fear
THE change in the Police Act, that took away security of tenure from the Commissioner was a major mistake made by the former government.
Generator threat
This is to draw the Commissioner of Police’s kind attention to an incident that took place at my home on July 6, 2012.
. . . or Animal Farm 2.0?
Some have said that it is too soon to critique the performance or lack thereof of the PLP.
Minister's guns
There is an ongoing debate on the Talk shows about the Minister of National Security and his Junior Minister carrying handguns.
PLP view on rights for women
Just when we thought the current political landscape in The Bahamas could not immediately become more rife with notable (and infamous) precedents, the PLP government has announced it is now a born-again believer in equal rights for Bahamian women.
Ban the sins - all of the sins!
THESE pastors and the BCC may well be on to something – what a great idea to simply ban the sin of gambling! That’s sure to take care of it for good.
Christie fails to rise above it all
I am continually amazed by Prime Minister Perry Christie’s inability to rise above the ranks of his petty party and establish himself as an honourable leader.
