Because *some people are better at Ruling over us than *others... Ha ha... Joke's on us.

All right-thinking Bahamians should rule out Lady Ping as GG

Thank God Bran McCartney is not the Prime Minister and prayers should go up that he never does. If she did not pay her property taxes for 14 years some of her debt occurred when the FNM party was in power. Mrs. Pindling will do well if she is given the post.

McCartney does not have one original idea . except flogging in Rawson Square.

So Lady P. was entitled to full property tax exemption when she turned 65. That was sixteen yars ago. SO Does that mean that if she applies for the exemption she will get back the $300,000 she paid PLUS the two years that was paid prior?

WELL WORTH REPEATING: Even if she and her family have been shamed into paying her long past due tax bills, it does not take away from the fact that she is a tax dodger who has brought much shame on the Bahamian people. We as a country have over the years graciously bestowed so much on Mrs Ping (notwithstanding the findings of the Commission of Inquiry regarding the corrupt activities of her late husband) and for that she has spit in the eye of the much less well off common Bahamian people. Think of all the poor children in this country who lack decent medical care, lack school supplies, often go to bed at night hungry, and so on, just because the likes of her and the Ishmael Lightbournes in our country feel they do not have to pay their taxes out of a sense of entitlement whereby they believe they are above the law. All the while, she resides like a queen in her lakeside mansion on an eleven acre estate in an upscale Cable Beach neighborhood, no doubt looking down on all of us hard working Bahamians as peasants with complete disregard for the horrible financial hardships most of us must endure day in and day out. AND TO THINK THIS WOMAN MAY EVEN STILL HAVE THE GALL TO WANT TO BE OUR NEXT GG! HAS SHE NO SHAME?.....NOT EVEN A PUBLIC APOLOGY, NOT THAT IT WOULD MAKE MUCH OF A DIFFERENCE AT THIS LATE STAGE!!

Mr. McCartney, You hit the nail on the head. I agree with you 100%.

i was always taught that it was an unforgivable dimplomatic sin the keep our queen waiting.
if i remember correctly, at the chogm meeting held here in nassau in the early eighties, a reception for all the government leaders was held on the royal yacht brittannia hosted by HM and PP. ping and wife arrived 25 minutes late for this reception, keeping everyone else waiting.
now i dont know if this was deliberate in order to make a dramatic entrance, was deliberate to make a point, or just lack of broughtupsyness, but one thing you can be sure of is that although most of us will have forgottten, the queen's handlers will not have forgotten or forgiven this insult.
apart from the fact the pings wife has done virtually nothing, leaving out the redx, for anyone in this county, and leaving out her interference with the judical process on the arrest of her son, the chogm incident should have precluded her from being appointed acting GG let alone being the actual GG.
if she is confirmed in the post i will be writing a personal letter of apology to HM to let her know that this appointment does not have the support of the common people and was not done in the best interests of the common people but was political payback move by our prime idiot, sorry i meant minister,

If she is nominated by Christie and appointed GG, I suspect many a sufficiently well connected Bahamian will also be writing to senior members of the London press and a number of the London tabloids to tell all Brits about Mrs Ping and her family's embarrassment of the Bahamian people through her attempt to evade payment of her taxes, including reminding the London press and tabloids about the outcome of that Royal Commission of Inquiry as regards her late husband, LOP. Obviously the poor judgement of Christie would feature heavily in such writings, including his coziness with leading known mobsters and racketeers in our country, like Craig Flowers. One can only imagine the stir this will cause. Who knows, it may even become the triggering event for another Commission of Inquiry. Christie (and by extension the Bahamian people) are unfortunately still the butt of a very good London pub joke about the renaming of Nassau International Airport.....let's try not to create another really good London pub joke with Mrs Ping, Christie and the Bahamian people being the butt of it. There's only so much laughter well tanked Londoners deserve to enjoy!
