PLP ALL THE WAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

the prime mister has his work cut out for him if i was prime minster i would read 15deathwarrant on the prisoners at death row he needs to show these persons who are killing like there is no end that these type of crime he would not accept i pray that our nation pray for him so can gain more knowledge and understanding he just need to deal very hard with these criminals

To the lady that said, she can now go to sleep with her door unlocked-PLP has 6 murders under its watch. 96 days to go to see this 100 day plan implemented...........Oh, Mr. Rt HN. Oil Man, and Deputy "90" counsel. We the people elected you to carry out an agenda. You only have 5 years. Don't stumble.Time moving fast.................PLP----------ALL THE WAY!

So, your really that naive to think something would be turned around in 100 days? And that these murders were because PLP hadn't done anything? As a resident here i'm amazed at the mindset that you people have. To honestly think that things can be turned around in 100 days. Hey, i've got a bridge for sale and own part of the moon. You want to buy?

And you must be minister of dumbness appointed to spread the dumbness and not see the irony(The PLP said under the FNM 490+ murders) That indicates that the FNM was doing them then according to my Great Deputy, so in all fairness I have to respect the facts as they did. Wasn't the one of the main reasons they won. And yes, how much for that bridge and I do need half and acre up there south of the eclipse to do some milk farming. Thanks..............PLP all the wasy!! 95 more days

The PLP's must deeply regret plastering those billboards around town. Because now the country is counting. They need to do what they promised and get the crime under control immediately. Not worry about settling all of their promises to those who donated funds for their campaign. Get the crime under control ASAP!!!!

the murders are yours now .....5 and counting ,,,,what you saying pgc or too bust swearing in the new minister of works ,lands and oil ....

We must give the PM some times to work his agenda and implement his strategies. Yes, there have been a few murders while he was sworn in but its a continuation of revenge. So just pray and be patience that change will come and that it will come in a timely manner.

So now it's continuation of revenge. When former Minister of National Security Tommy Turnquest suggested that, the PLP scorned him. BUT now that the shoe is on the other foot, we must give the PM some time to work his agenda. No way, not today. Youall made crime a potitical issue during the election campaign, so now take your blows. Youall said you would fix it, so fit it. 95 days and counting!

This is not about a Political Party being in power. Its about the well-being of the country. Whether PLP, FNM or DNA is in power, they still have to do the work that is necessary to combat crime, develop our country, create jobs and improve our education system. So don't point fingers. You are thinking with a one track mind. So think objectively.

To those who think they can leave their doors unlocked now.......the PLP are human beings NOT guardian angels!!

The only way that the government officials will do something about the crimes in the Bahamas, is when it starts to affect tourism, or their families ! Mothers, fathers,clergymen, teachers, and leaders! please talk to our young men and young women about self worth, self love and respect of others and themselves! What is wrong with our young people ? they are complaining about there are not enough jobs, when they are distrespecting the teachers, (who are underpaid) and are getting thrown out of school, knowing that without education, you cannot get a decent job, so therefore, the only alternative will be crime. I beg you (young people) to please stop the killings, and get your education. Pretty soon there will be people of a certain age group (missing) due to death or prison! Iam a Bahamian, (living in the U.S.A) and it saddens me when I read the newspaper and see the stuff that goes on in my country,that makes me not want to live there anymore, let alone visit, soon the tourists (that pays many people's bills) will do the same.So, get on your elected people's back , to make the place safe for everyone. WHEW !! THANKS FOR LISTENING AND HAVE A BLESSED DAY.

What Bahamians need to know, is that you don't have to be PLP, FNM, or DNA, to make the country safe. We also need to turn the mirror around and look in it, and stop blaming the government for the way our children turned out, when we know darn well that we should be our children's role model, and not someone else! We should take the blame for our country's downfall, because we are not there for our kids, sure we all have to work to pay bills, but that should not be an excuse for not being there and instilling morals, values , selfworth,honesty and respect of others in them. You don't have to be rich or smart, to do those things.

I agree with you strongly. WE meaning parents? That's where it all starts at home...And if there's not peace at home, how can we have it on earth? Parents need to take more time and consider the facts of them not been around. It affects the children emotionally, physically, spiritually and educationally.

wheres talrussell ,,no comment on this one ?????????????????

You can't expect a government to come into power and crime stops the first day, that isn't reasonable and i'm not a PLP. Give them time to see what new plans are being implemented to see how crime is going to be curb, Dr. Rollins is on the right page on this one with CCTV and put them just about everywhere, this will help a great deal.

@Spoitier, Realistically no one expects the crime to stop in one day but during the whole campaign saga that was how the PLPs made you feel, Same as them actually blaming the government for the crime problem,
well now it's their watch so stop the crime now. CCTV, yes it is a good idea but they only help with the identification of the criminal, our great police offices have been with out CCTV identifying and catching the criminals for quite some time now soooo while the idea is ok at this point it is only added expense

No matter your party affiliation, when the PLP put up those 490 murders signs and your attitude was that they are simply stating facts do not have a fit because we are in fact now stating the facts whether you like it or not. Also was the 490 counted from when Hubert was sworn in or after the first day of parliament? Please let us know when they started counting so that we too may count.

It probably started from when he was sworn in but if the numbers did started to decrease it wouldn't have been a problem but it increase every year. If the trend stays the same with the PLP then it is a major problem but the first couple of weeks isn't the measuring stick and this was probably the FNM cry doing their first couple of months in power.

LisaG, in order for the PLP or any government to make you feel that way, you would have to be foolish from the jump start. Don't you want to identify the criminals? How many murders or other crimes are unsolve in the Bahamas? If it is a good idea for CCTV I would trade added expense for safety any day, when crime goes down a lot of money that have been spent on negative things like premature funeral services, overtime for policemen and other stuff could be use for doing positive things. The only market that is booming is the Mortuary in these cases.Really I don't want to get on you but most of your points weren't really good ones..

Spoitier, Sir/Madam i simply gave MY opinion with regards to your posting. You did not have to resort to being so rude as this is the primary reason why we have this whole crime problem right now. You have a great day

My dear I wasn't rude at all, I simply gave my opinion, if your opinion matter more than mines i'm sorry.

talrussel still waiting for your ramblings on this one ???? talrussel , talrussell party of one your tables ready !!!!

Dr. B.J. Nottage (Minister) and Mr. Keith Bell (Minister of State) will hopefully put a dent in crime and the murder rate. Mr. Bell had spoken previously about the poor number of convictions. Let's get rolling guys!! Make the people who voted PLP proud.

Dr. Nottage help us..................you and your mass army of Bain and grants towners, violence free supporters and mentality. I just heard we had another murder (7) but the FNM say it only (6) because it was just after the election when they lost and still was the government. I say 5 days. You need to collaborate with our great Deputy and take a trip to the US because you can consult with crime fighters there. Don't worry about anything , When our great Deputy Brave is brave enough to believe his new found diplomatic immunity will keep him from be indicted the 1/4 of a second he touches US soil, everything will be OK. We elected you (after they say some of us were being purchased.) PLP all the way !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ghristie is working on unemployment ,,5 ministries ,,8 ministers ,,,,,lol

Yeah he's sure putting a dent in the unemployment rate

sorry typo ,,christie

This blog is not to bash each other but to have great intellectual conversations about the heavy weight of negative actions that is destroying our country. Our opinions and advice is our own and we want to be heard. WE meaning proud citizens of the Bahamas (BAHAMIANS). So lets do that and be respectful of each other. We all are adults and we can have a mature conversation without fighting.

yes the blog is about discussing things of national importance to our country ,and pointing out what we percieve as the good or bad ,be it plp or fnm .....our problem with crime starts in the home long before it reaches the house of assembly..too many children with out a daddy around ..men of our country wake up and start raising the children you father with morals and caracter !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Most definitely, I agree with you strongly. Broken homes. Cross blood contaminates the soul. Fathers suppose to be the head of house hold and they are the one's faltering. I hope one day that all the dead beat dads realize they serve a purpose in their children lives. Morals Ethics is very important in social living.
