FNMs must not take risks
I believe that Free National Movement (FNM) foot soldiers are taking unnecessary risks by attacking the Progressive Liberal Party (PLP) administration of Prime Minister Philip “Brave” Davis via irresponsible means.
Avoiding the media
Is the post election honeymoon over and Government goes back to avoiding the media and the question?
Ingraham and the hand of Machiavelli
It is no secret that former Prime Minister, the Rt Hon Hubert A Ingraham, a great Bahamian almost on par with our deeply lamented and missed Sir Lynden Oscar Pindling, publicly endorsed the Hon Doctor Duane Sands for re-election up at Elizabeth and, eventually, for becoming Prime Minister “some day”. That, of course, was a mere pipe dream.
Freeport gets poor treatment
Prime Minister Philip Brave Davis’s revelation that wealthy Dubai investors are reluctant to invest in Grand Bahama must be greatly demoralising to Grand Bahamians, especially those in the Freeport area.
Personal income tax
Great attorney Andrew Allen has responded to my response to his original proposal for increased Company Tax and new Personal Income Tax...he seems hell bent and strong that this is the better fiscal and financial policy approach... hang in, Mr Allen.
Property tax
Sometimes it is best not to comment when you have been fan-faring how good the property market is and who record high leveled sales.
Race issues in The Bahamas
There is not a single racist bone in my body. As a black Bahamian man many of my ‘best’ friends, personally and professionally have been and are white Bahamians. From my early days as an Articled Clerk in the chambers of the late Lawrence LPJ Trenchard, an expatriate transplanted Englishman, I came to know a ton of white/conchy joe Bahamians.
Wasted money
Minister of State Public Services seems to have a knack to being precise and concise and on the ball.
Changing rules on entry to nation
I wish to add my voice to the concerns raised in your article yesterday by Robert Sands about entry into The Bahamas.
Ditching trash on our neighbours
Humans are indeed a queer lot. When we clean up our yard, we have no problem pitching our trash over the fence and into our neighbour’s yard. We then admire our yard and frown at our neighbour for living like a pig.
COVID protocols
COVID protocols... rules are made to be kept, Mr Prime Minister. Feeble excuse.
Ministers and masks
I believe it is okay if you have someone in your house positive with COVID if you test negative, but at the least wait five-days then certainly you can venture out taking a further test.
Shift the narrative
Over and repeatedly we hear people ask: “Why do women stay in abusive relationships?’’ or “Why doesn’t she just leave him?” Although these may seem like valid questions, all these very simple questions have very complicated, multi-layered answers.
Lucayan workers
PRIME Minister Philip Davis is to be commended for showing early in his tenure that the Memorandum of Understanding between his party and the trade union movement is a matter of substance and not just words.
FNM lacks political identity
The PLP appears to be smartly embracing the moral vision and concept of majority rule – in The Bahamas. The present makeup of that party looks to be a solidly engaging Bahamian political organisation.
