Oh, it is much worse than you describe (100% accurate though, I applaud your reasoning, deduction, acumen and logic).

The PLP could just about stomach another few hundred whites stuck behind some wall, because they are no political threat.

What they can't stomach is the few hundred BLACKS that those whites might educate in technology, empower and give opportunity to. Because if they succeed...no, that will never do!! THEY WILL come after the PLP politically and that cannot be allowed to happen.

The PLP has a vested interest in keeping blacks as ignorant and without opportunity as possible. You aren't going to ask people who are educated and prosperous to vote for your cretinous policies that have ruined the country. You want them as uneducated and beholden to you for their very survival.

Keeping people uneducated is the easiest way to control them. Where has the plunder loot and pillage taken this country over the years? This clown should be the last idiot to open his mouth about the world is watching. Go away you worthless P.O.S.!!!!!

I cant believe Fweddy Boy managed to slime his way to a PLP chairmanship, I guess S#!t flows downhill afterall. unfortunately now we have to hear this stupid parrot squawk 100 dollar words at the current administration for another few years. i was hoping we were done with him, guess we couldnt be so lucky.

he knew who he should prostrate himself in front of....

anything he says and does just shows us more and more day after day that you are your cronies are nothing but bloody thieves that don't GAF about Bahamians!!! Who needs coffee with this crap??

On reading this article I was planning to comment, but those who beat me to it have said it all. No one, is apparently ready to speak up for Fred. Maybe he needs to move permanently to his Cuban paradise.

I can actually feel sorry for Fweddy. His life ambitions have been thwarted all along. He was smarter than every other PLP in the caucus and he knew it. Yet it got him nowhere. He had more polish and more worldly acumen than anyone else. Unfortunately he was was personally burdened with a heavy load related to gender predilection. I wouldn't not have wanted to be in his shoes growing up in the Bahamas. Then he used his "situation" to advance himself with Pindling and it got him nowhere because Pindling didn't want him for his brains. And somewhere along the way, instead of pride, he developed an inferiority complex about being Black, and that coloured his worldview and domestic reality. The sum total of all of this, is that to operate effectively, he became unacquainted with the truth in almost every vapid, bitter utterance that came out of his mouth. The weird thing is that he knows that it is unpatriotic to be that way. For smart people like Fweddy, the heaviest burden to carry is an unfulfilled potential and that's what makes him a bitter old man. But it doesn't excuse his perfidy, lies and lack of integrity -- personal or otherwise.

The FNM hate for this man is laughable.

This commentary section sounds like an FNM council meeting - with all personal attacks and no substance.

To hell with the guy delivering the message - what is true though is that KPT after 7 months now realizes that the world is watching.

this is of course after 'scaremongering' and telling investors the country is broke and has nothing to offer them.

as opposed to the PLP criminally robbing the people blind. Where was Fweddy's voice. All that he did, was vituperative ad hominem attacks at any who had the temerity to question the PLP. A true patriot would have stood up for the country. Nobody in the PLP did. It was all for me baby, and Fweddy is as guilty as the rest of them.

I think you're right on all of these counts.
However, if Mitchell was that smart, and cared about The Bahamas, he would have left politics long ago.
He was neither smart, nor patriotic.

This is the man that flew first class, stayed in the best hotels and what does the average Bahamian have to show for it. For your information yes the world of investors does take careful note of government policies, stability, creditworthiness and comments expressed by fools like yourself. Have you not realized that this is not the only country with sun sea and sand and investors and tourists can choose umpteen more accessible and friendly places. Bahamian people are friendly no doubt but that is only if there are visitors to be friendly with, and that you idiot depends on people like you and government ministers putting out positive vibes. But there again your not really bothered are you,, when did you last go to a food bank, have your power turned off or lay on a gurney in A and E for two days?

Comrades! The world's stage is no place for Minnis, ACEE, KP, Dionisio James, Marvin, Carl Wilshire, and Jeff. The act billed at Jokers Wild Comedy Club as The Seven Most Useless Tits - - be run off the stage and over da bridge.

If what you don’t know can’t hurt you, you’re invulnerable.

I really, really hate this man!!!!!!!!Why can't we get rid of him???? He is like bugger stuck on the end of your finger!!!!!

I'm sorry that is not how it works..

WE don't get rid of someone YOU hate.

The world or The Bahamas is not yours to decide who stays or goes.

World isn't watching, the world doesn't care. Watching the Bahamas is like watching a runner in a marathon running into the wrong direction. And while he runs and yells "everyone else is wrong" the distance between the Bahamas and the rest of the world is getting bigger. At some point everyone else won't hear that runner anymore.

Wel-muddo-take-sick. . .now as a Bahamian myself that "HURT LIKE NO BUSINESS". . .but I must congratulate you for explaining "our stupidity" in shooting ourselves in the foot economically like nobody has ever managed to achieved. . . thanks my good sir/mam!
