This all goes back to the 70's and 80's when a child was disciplined by a teacher in school the parent ran to the MP, who in some cases was member of cabinet, and the next thing anyone knew was that the teacher was disciplined.

Teachers started to leave the children alone because parents always came to the child's defence with the support of the politicians.

My Dear Comrade Banker, you are so stucks in Billboards Top 100 songs in the '70s. Time move on my friend. I see you as a fan of The Bee Gees.

“We (this administration) came here and we made being a member of a gang a crime. And an offence that if found guilty, the offence is a fine of $500,000 and 20 years’ imprisonment...”
so technically all members of the PLP need to go to jail, ey?

You see that aye

At Least he didn't blame the lawyers.......

Our system is becoming just like the USA ....................... the courts are setting the tone for major social issues (eg. same sex marriage, gun laws, bail, legal drugs etc)

Until the legislators grow some BALLS and deal with basic issues such as capital punishment, legalizing drugs, gender equality etc....... we will remain in the clutches of the crime bosses and the Privy Council

When the Legislature does not take the initiative .......... others have to step up
The ball stops with the PM, Cabinet and Parliament ........... don't blame anyone else BJ (SMH)

How the hell he can talk about how bad it got once the gun court was stopped. Wasn't his government that stopped it,and why cant they restart it ?. This man is delusional.

1. Jeremiah 17:9 “The human heart is the most deceitful of all things, and desperately wicked. Who really knows how bad it is?

2. Mark 7:21-23 For from within, out of a person’s heart, come evil thoughts, sexual immorality, theft, murder, adultery, greed, wickedness, deceit, lustful desires, envy, slander, pride, and foolishness. All these vile things come from within; they are what defile you.”

3. Proverbs 4:23 Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life.

Adam blamed Eve for his sin and when Job was suffering from being attacked from satan from all sides, his wife told him " who is this God you serve that will allow you to go through all this?" she could not fathom the faith of Job, so she told him 'curse your God and die", rather than endure the pain and suffering you are going through. The Bahamas has endured enough of the blame game and the passing of the buck." When David sinned and had a relationship with Besheda he did not deny his sin. He confessed that she was so beautiful that despite all his efforts to resist he could not resist her beauty. Not only adultery but he became an assessor to murder. He didn't ask God to deny him punishment,(and it was severe) but he asked God to restore him to the relationship and the joy he had with God before the sin). He lost much of what he had including death of his family members, but none of that was as valuable of the relationship he lost with God. The Bahamas has fallen in love with sin, murder and violence especially. We call ourselves a Christian nation, but rather than cry out for forgiveness and restoration (with God) we continue to pass the blame. Man alone cannot solve the problems we are going through, and hence the bible admonishes us to "wait on the Lord." Many of our young men, who are being slain, have not seen the inside of a church since they were Christened. Parents: restore to them that joy, don't wait for four or six persons to roll them to the alter for then it may be too late. For God so loved the world, he gave his only begotten son (john 3:16) amen

Reminiscent of a whiny & petulant child; Nottage is part of a government that can and does move the goal posts at will when it suits their purpose. If you don't like the "improvements" your government made go back to what wasn't broken to begin with.
If you want to put some heat under the judiciary start with the AG's office.

I think that these articles and comments should be nailed to the doors of the HOA because those turds don't log in here and most don't read the paper either. Better yet, an opposition Member might like to tell the governing party and Members what the people think. Or they could take turns. We are all just preaching to the choir with these comments - all except birdiestrachan, John and Comrade TalRussell.

But, the Judges are political appointees aren't they? appointed by both PLP and FNM.
Add some expat Judges who want the nice pension that their own countries do not give them.
You expect them to make waves or stand up to their paymaster?
AG's office is no different. Pure politicized tool designed to keep politicians out of jail, and not much of anything else.
Bernard Nottage and all his cohorts past and present have all created this problem!
If true justice were to prevail the argument wouldn't be who else can we all vote for,
but that we better find someone to vote for because all PLP's and FNM's past and present are in Fred's constituency as residents!

The Turks and Caicos Deputy Police Commissioner was charged with corruption last year in an open and shut case but the JURY acquitted him at his trial. They have the same problem we do except we cant even seem to bring a charge against anyone except a poor schlepper.

It's a common character trait in Caribbean nations. Too much corruption and shoulder rubbing

Guess he's talking to the AG, Jerome Fitzgerald (twice over, nolle & Lamb) and Alfred Gray

I note that Nottage did not level any criticism at the Attorney General nor the Deputy Attorney General whose jobs it is to safeguard evidence collected and bring charges against criminals or suspected criminals. Makes it difficult when the AG is the one under suspicion I guess.

Madhatter ................... BJ is a tired old man (like most of the PLP senior leaders) ........ he will not make the mistake that Perry is making ............ seeking re-election

............ I cry shame of those poor dumb ass Andros people .......... Pindling already shit all over them ........... and now Perry is puking on them .................... sooooooooooo SAD

Nottage blames his pants for being on backwards

The Appeals Court castigated some former Scotiabank employees yesterday for stealing by reason of employment and pitched their appeal out the window. I guess its different when the owner ( Bahamas Government ) knowingly instructs BOB to lend money to family, friends, and loved ones, that they know will never pay it back. And then they cover it up by instructing NIB to deposit the people's savings to cover the losses, knowing that that will also be lost. Something wrong with this picture !
