All of a sudden, a BIG march and BIG events using government resources. I WONDER what spurred these mammoth celebrations this year? The day usually passes with limited fanfare lol! They really scrambled to plan all of this at the last minute! Fancy turning a public holiday into a political circus............

Thanks to WE MARCH BAHAMAS we now finally have a recognition of Majority Rule Day in this country. It took the PLP over forty years to make the day a holiday and the only time they could find to march and have fanfare to celebrate it is after WE MARCH planned something for that day. Definite signs that the PLP are running scared of another successful WE MARCH event.
We need to know how much their fiasco will cost the Bahamian people.

Interesting the subtle brainwashing that goes on just before elections. Years ago it was repeated showing of "roots" now we have ZNS showing the road to Independence with dramatic music every night around 7.15pm. Coincidence -I think not. Lets reinforce the grass roots populace that the white man/Bahamian is demonic,racist and just plain not wanted (except for their cash).
