The assinine-ness of this Government continues to baffle me. "You must separate the government from the individual MP’s,” he said. “The government is not intervening. Persons are intervening." So the Perry Christie intervening and asking the bank what he can do "as Prime Minister" is NOT the Government? I guess as "Prime Minister" Perry Christie is not representing "the Government. #iamsoconfused!!!

On point. It makes no sense. If we have government representatives who can willy nilly ignore their responsibilities legal and ethical as government representatives, why don't we encourage all policemen to ignore their responsibilities as policemen when "they" *feel* it's warranted?

Once again Davis treats Bahamians as if they are clueless and gullible. In reality, educated citizens of The Bahamas have considered the argument and concluded that the PM was wrong to interfere with due process of law. This was as clear a case of favoritism as you will see and Davis's defense of PGC is no more than you would expect. Bahamians would have been more impressed with the PM if he had come out and said: "On reflection, I allowed my feelings of compassion towards the plight of my friend to override my better judgment. I was wrong to have interfered with due legal process and apologise for this error"

Don't hold your breath waiting for said apology!

Mr. Lightbourne must have a plan as to how he will pay for his property. I understand it is prime property. It will be easy to sell. No PM in the world can keep his property for him if he does not pay his loan at the bank. The Manager at the Bank must have the satisfaction that he can meet his obligation to do so. there are many who have no means or hopes of paying off their mortgage. there is no hope for them; there is no free lunch. or free house.

You missed that snippet from the PM then...he suddenly realized that he was grossly underpaying Mr. Lightbourne for his services...in other words, he gave him a healthy raise, out of the governments payroll/bankroll...AKA the tax payers money bailed this man out of his home. Significant enough of a raise that he could make a payment to the bank I would presume...probably retroactively adjusted his salary up to give him a bonus of sorts to allow for a lump sum payment.

All of these crony higher ups in the PLP will never discredit PGC. Even when his mistakes are blatantly obvious to the dumbest of the dumb. They still make excuses for his actions. For sure this is the last term for the PLP, hopefully for many years to come. We need some fresh, new, young meat in Parliament. These cronies are simply sticking to their own lazy agendas from the time they first entered politics, and we all know their main goal is to secure a healthy retirement in 'paradise' by gobbling up as much cookies as they can, making even the cookie monster look bad, before their exit. Who knows if they even have an agenda because we are definitely not seeing what we were promised. I hope this is the last lap for traditional Bahamians to see that the PLP is not the answer. We got independence yes, but that was due to Pindling on behalf of the PLP, but what else have we really gained as a country from this Party other than Urban Renewal?

I agree 100%

And the jury is still out on urban renewal 2.0

I agree with most of your post, but I hope you don't think the FNM is the new young meat.

Nope I dont think any is capable FNM, PLP, or DNA, I feel when the election season hits, there might be a new spring.

Why do you discount the DNA? They haven't even had a chance to show what they can do or who they are. I can see why someone would think the PLP or FNM are incapable, because they have PROVEN so. This automatic opposition people seem to have toward the DNA only shows that Bahamian people SAY they want something "new"--yet their minds are still too narrow to give something new a chance. So continue to bend over and take it.

I wonder what this stumpy little guy's highly educated children and the friends of his children must think of him. One can only begin to imagine the abuses this fella has already inflicted on so many and is prepared to go on inflicting on anyone given his failed moral compass that allows him to publicly declare that he stands behind the PM's warped sense of right and wrong. Just another clucking idiot!

I think thats why they call him 'BRAVE' lol.

Its all in line with our politicians approach. What the PM did is daily business. They don't know any different. WTF are you all complaining about? Someone to file a criminal complaint. There are anti-bribery, corruption and nepotism laws in the Bahamas. just use it.

And the people keep voting them in. When will the people of this country grow some balls and revolt? A real revolt, not 20 people walking in the streets in Downtown. How many times does the government have to crap all over the people for everyone to wake up? There is power in numbers, time to demonstrate it.

Maybe Spain and Ukraine will be of some encouragement.

Not surprising, the political class will protect each other no matter what. The Bahamas has a new form of segregation, the political class are the whiteys of yesteryear and the rest of us are the downtrodden. Welcome to the Bahamas 40 years after majority rule suckers.

White men would not inflict on black men the kind of abuse now being inflicted by black men on black men. Lord help us!

Lets agree to disagree. No matter how many years or centuries. There is no excuse for what the white man did to the black man. Lets not forget they used black baby's as crocodile bait!

Just thinking about all of the elderly people and young children with asthmatic conditions or other breathing difficulties who are being suffocated by the smouldering public dump...many of them probably wish they could be eaten by a crocodile to put them out of their misery.

Wow, he's a very bright lawyer, he knows what abuse of power is. He knows why "how we can call this abuse of power", because it is. If a police Sargent father tries to help his daughter by asking a non ranking officer to destroy a police report, he has *used his position* to interfere with the *normal* process of things. That is abuse of power. The fact that the father was "trying to help" someone is irrelevant.

A very bright 'criminal' lawyer. His skills are that to prove even the most obvious criminal innocent. They dont call him 'BRAVE' for nothing lol.

Is the "obeah king" at work again???????????????? Between the Lodge and the voodoo, the PLP always seems to have a spin on things.......... Christians Unite!!!!!!!!!!!!
