Mitchell inappropriate
It was with shock and disbelief that I read the disparaging and insulting remarks made by the Foreign Minister of this country about one of our nation’s journalists. I was waiting for the Press Association to defend their colleague, but I heard naught but the sound of gentle silence.
Bad policy to open in a surge
It is important for schools to open. Our children need to be educated. They need to peer bond. They need socialisation.
Reopen 100%
In regards to the schools opening at 50% hybrid learning - this is unacceptable!
Income taxes
Income tax... who pays it? Whatever levied on Business ends up you and I pay 100%.
Treat all people the same
Health controls and protocols have to be as close to the same whether it involves us residents, the visitors, or the cruise visitors who are here for a few hours... we have to accept COVID virus does not respect curfews - lockdowns or the unvaccinated and in the case of the current scourge not even the vaccinated it seems.
Barriers stop Bahamas travel
We have been attempting to come to stay at our holiday property and visit Bahamian relatives for nearly two years without success. Every time we are able to travel your Government has restrictions which make it impossible to comply with your draconian entry rules.
Is an end to cheques a good move?
Central Bank No more cheques after 2023..... have they thought this through?
Social injustice for students
The Minister of Education has revealed that there are 8,000 delinquent students of the Virtual Learning Platform – who have been missing in action since the COVID-19 pandemic began. What a shameful social injustice.
Thanks for balancing Allen story

Flat on our face over good service
There is a science for providing service unfortunately we talk a lot about being ‘Better and Better’ but we fall flat on our face many times when suggesting you are offering the general public a reasonable level of service.
Parks authority audit
Do two wrongs ever make a right - Public Parks Authority contracts comments of FNM Leader.
Leave the schools shuttered
The Prime Minister is a man after my own heart. In the midst of the ongoing pandemic he is focus and relentless on getting the nation into a recovery mode. The economy is showing vital signs of improvement and more and more Bahamians are going back to work and/starting new businesses. Churches; restaurants and other social venues are gradually reopening. There are some who are calling for the reopening of schools, especially within the public sector.
The new Singapore?

PM to party in Dubai
The pandemic is not over. Currently, the Omicron wave is in magnitude nearly our second worst wave of pandemic. More than 120 people are in hospital. Some are fighting for their lives.
Send in the clowns...
As a follow-up to the Christmas Carnival caper we now have the Dubai Debacle. The back-to-back mini-disasters by the PLP government are very revealing. We have a seemingly giddy, frivolous, non-serious prime minister who seems to like showmanship and hanging out with celebrities instead of substance.
