Playing the game of politics
POLITICS is a game and there are no rules. The game board is comprised of players who claim that they want what is best for us. They will say anything and do anything to get "another chance", to do all the good things they would like to do for us.
Posters Vandalised
I HAVE noticed that three of the giant campaign posters of Free National Movement (FNM) Member of Parliament for Pineridge, Kwasi Thompson, have been torn. I am referring to the posters on the circle on Coral Road and Settlers Way; Pioneers Way and East Mall Drive and Pioneers Way and West Atlantic Drive.

Why has Troy Garvey rejoined the PLP?
I WAS taken aback after I had seen a photo of popular Grand Bahama activist Troy Garvey on stage with Gregory Moss at a massive Progressive Liberal Party (PLP) rally in Freeport at the Old Portion Control grounds on Saturday, April 14, on a popular Internet newspaper that is pro-PLP. Moss is the PLP's standard bearer for the Marco City constituency.
Fixed date for vote
HOW is it that no one in the PLP ever dared to broach such a subject when LOP was PM for twenty-five years?

PLP act against FNM effigy backfires
YESTERDAY afternoon, the PLP issued a statement condemning an attack earlier in the day on an elderly lady — a PLP supporter in the Farm Road constituency — “allegedly by male supporters of the Free National Movement.”
Graduation dreams crushed
I AM a long standing resident of the Exuma community, and I am writing to express my concern about the recent discussion and the decision to disallow 27 graduating students of the local high school, Livingston N Coakley, to participate in their commencement ceremony. I do understand that this decision is meant to punish these students for disobeying school rules, but must we be so harsh?
Trade union unrest
IT IS very clear to many of us that the unions' unrest is politically directed and who is the mastermind behind it...He has done it before and is seeking to do it again to gain brownie points for the forthcoming elections.
A message to strikers
I AM sitting on a plane waiting to take off and we are already over an hour late...I can see the runway and no plane has taken off or landed for the last 10 minutes. What does that tell you!
