EDITOR, The Tribune.

In recent political history, surprisingly the chairpersons of the two largest parties, have had a lot to say for themselves. It is incredible actually it seems that they have to comment on the most sublimely idiotic issues, which then gravitates into a political issue.

Curfew? So we will establish a curfew in certain areas of Nassau, which are described as those where a high percentage of serious crime occurs. Surely this is a breach of the Constitution, discrimination, as why not Cable Beach or the Eastern Road or even Prospect Ridge?

Yes, the esteemed Commissioner is head of the police and as that takes the brunt off everything, good or bad, but let us stay real crime has been increasing for over eight years. A major part of those years was under the leadership of then Rt Hon Hubert Ingraham.

Many must have had this thought – although the white community is only 15 per cent of the whole, isn’t it interesting that it is rare if not very, very rare that you see, as the press love to say, a white young person or other “hauled off” to the courts? Why? They grew up with the same people – went to the same schools, not all white children go to private schools. Yes, a high percentage do, but they eat the same foods - drink the same water, play sports together, drink together and there is such an incredible difference in social behaviour. Is this the secret?

I suspect so, but the PLP or the FNM or most others will never admit that.
