This the same cliwn that burned our constitution, go away fweddy. You and your crew had 5 friggin years to fix Grand Bahama ASS

Do we really wonder why The Bahamas is in the state that it is in?
Just reading this article alone, can give lots of insights.
Dumb and dumber?
Wow.

There were too many persons named for ALL five sections of awards ......... who will they name next year???????? ........... We have named enough for at least the next TEN years ......... smt

Ma Comrade Porcupine, ever wonder if capitalism in wrong hands has become enemy colony of islands?

Typical of a PLP. The UBP was the best thing to ever happen to the Bahamas. majority rule was a mistake and did not make things better, we went downhill since then. We ran better under the Baystreet boys and actually saw budget surpluses.

Imagine how much further along we would be in development if we never went under the rule os Pindling for 25 years? We'd be a first world nation by now.

Sir Roland's ghost..is that you?

Hey, Testicleless, You are posting lies. The UBP brought in votes for women, the PLP actually voted against it but were the minority opposition so the vote passed. PLP supporters and associated parasites have started to believe their own lying revisionist history. The country is doomed, get out now if you can.

I refuse to read what this idiot says!

Then show how he is wrong. . . I happen to think he/she is right. . .about how things went down hill. . .Pindling stopped plenty developments just to remain top dog!! You should read some of his own writing how he was opposed to the point of no confidence vote when he "jook in" the independence idea to create a verge between himself and his detractors in the PLP and the public. . .he was a master of "wrangling himself out hot water" with major projects that were "big" in the people's eyes and would make opposing MPs as anti-people! Hs was so slick that very few people don't know it was Milo Butler who threw thew Mace out of the HOA window. . .then Pindling ran down like it was him!!

Think EasternGate may have been referring to Mitchell. In which case I also refuse to read his rantings beyond the first line or two.

Point taken. . .

Mr. Culmer by his congenial, stalwart appearance as well as his statements, seems to be a fine gentleman.

What will happen when the last white Bahamian passes into the neither world from these islands.
Then who to blame?

They'll still blame them somehow, or shift the blame to the Chinese and Haitians...hmmmm....

it's always the white man's fault here. LAZY people!

Oh, Coon, don't be obtuse. You have sense, you should be intelligent enough to understand what Fweddy is saying. SMDH.

The Awards themselves are mired in PLP mediocrity and therefore worthless.
Funny that all most of them want is the queens honors.
Got Fred hopping mad though. Maybe aught to award them twice a year just for that show!
Remember, no real pride without shame, Yin/Yang, but I haven't seen a shameful PLP yet!
Aught to be the party theme.

We're listening to you Mr. Mitchell. LOL! I almost said that with a straight face.

*"This is not about race," Mr Mitchell said*

In the same breath...

*"This is a classic example of what is known as Uncle Tomism," Mr Mitchell said"*

And that, our man-loving friend, is why you're out, and hopefully gone for good. Like the racist black nationalism.

He is not a nationalist. . .more like a PLPist. . .Don Quixote of national politics in vogue. . .lost soul. . .no-man's land in common sense!!

Over 50 years since the PLP came to power and still playing the race card---Sad!

Ok, I will bite. According to Fweddy, which by the way can be easily discovered in history, Sir Roland:
a: Refused majority rule (How is Fweddy's comments playing the race card?);
b: Refused to allow women to vote (How is Fweddy playing the race card? Wouldn't this be playing the gender card? I am confused?);
c: Opposed independence (How is Fweddy playing the race card here?);
These are three distinct inarguable facts, that have noting to do with race. So, please stop spewing your propaganda, Brent Symonette, er, I mean gotouunume.

Get ya information right. . .hint. . .suffrage was in 1950. . .Home office was the government at the time. . .the rift was between HO and Elks in America. . .HO granted suffrage in 1952. . .the PLP nor UBP were around. . .PLP came 1953 and the UBP a few years later!!

My my how we go about “shooting out” information that we have not thought through carefully. . .or even know about! For example, Mr. Symonette refused majority rule. . .opposed woman’s vote. . .opposed independence?!
Here goes. . .a) the Home office (Magna Carta), which was the government in the colony of the Bahamas and Order in Chief 1959 guaranteed the elective governments by majority rule. . .so to say that Sir Symonette refused majority rule in the Bahamas just makes no dang sense in seminal reasoning! How the heck he was going to do that in a colony governed by the Home Office or in any other nation around the planet? When ya act dumb ya could be dangerous nah!!

Dam, You think I'm Brent?? I only wish with his millions of dollars I would be sitting pretty---But thank you for the compliment!

The nonsense you spewing, you could only be Brent.

Fake News!!!! ahahahahahaha

Licks2 I have no issue engaging you, and I can do it without the little childish name calling. I will gently refer you to one of two empirical sources, Michael Cratons A History of The Bahamas, where he clearly establishes that the Magna Carta that you refer to was no obstacle on Sir Roland's quest to curtail, nay, eliminate the black vote. The other source by the way is a book written by Gail North Saunders, a protege of Micahel Craton, but admittedly the name of the book escapes me. Will be happy to revisit this conversation when you read Michaels book.
Btw, in your childish diatribe you fail to address Fweddys other two factual points. I would be happy to further the discussion.

How the Magna Carta could not prevent Pop's anti-black vote flys in the face of woman suffrage in 1952. . .black man voting in the Bahamas forever since before woman suffrage in 1952. . .the same Magna Carta that militated against slave ownership in the colonies in 1800s. The PLP was formed in 1953. . .before then there was not hindrances to black man voting. . .providing he had land. . .which was a tenant of Home Rule prejudices. . .not local UBP! The world over since 1798 (French revolution era) to Haiti revolution 1805 would allow desertion of vote through color except the USA. . .which digressed into her civil war for the same reason. . .slavery and one man one vote!! The MAGNA CARTA LED THE CHARGE FOR NON-DISCRIMINATORY GOVERNANCE AGAINST THE BLACK MAN IN THE HEMISPHERE!! As for the childish quibs. . .it will be soooooo refreshing to engage a mind that refuses to decent to poor political based reasoning skills. . .with delight!

Fweddy Boy's little tormented mind has always been mired in racism and preoccupied with deviance of the worst kind. He was an object of ridicule for the international diplomatic community, and caused our country much embarrassment abroad for many years while lavishly traveling the world at the Bahamian taxpayers expense. They simply do not come more disgusting than this wretched small minded creature!

Two things it always about money and race. Sir Roland (an obvious oppressor no debate needed) should not be considered a national hero neither should Sir Lynden .In my opinion a national hero should be someone who was at the forefront of selflessly bettering the Bahamas through many obstacles in any aspect of Bahamian life without holding office. I respect Sir Pindling for his achievements as well as the others named but they were elected for those purposes. They was only doing their jobs.

These gentlemen were more men of the times if anything. Check the history of the world at that time for emerging nations. While what happened was a great accomplishment for the majority the world's oppressed were rising up and actually the Bahamas ,as usual,was more of on the tail end of the world revolution. So to call them heroes is a bit iffy in my opinion. The times dictated their actions.

To make career politicians heroes is like putting silk on pigs, they still pigs. Dr.Minnis probably hoping one day yall would stroke his ego and in his twilight years label him a national hero.

This just a sidetrack....man I feeling this 12% ,BPL can't keep the light on and Water and Sewage want more money for inefficient and lackluster services.

Peace and God is Great.

You need to go a read history of anyplace. . .especially the Bahamas. . .or just stop being disingenuous. . .start with the 1984 Commission of Inquires report for the Bahamas. . .you know not what you speak about. . .

Thank you Akbar! Apologists like licks2 trying to rewrite history.
And I feeling VAT too.

I though that you were the voice of truth, reason, informed thought and not a polemicist for PLP propaganda! Oh well. . .I still will engage you sans nasty quibs. . .but you do write like you do know the truth.. .welcome Fred.

Interestingly, I didn't see the same whose blogging handles perfectly align Tribune bloggers Loyal Listeners and Call-in's" to the Guardian Talk Show "The Revolution" when it's Host, just couple days back had you same bloogers going 99% along with the spitting outs Dr Umar Jhonson "Psychologist" - "This is the thanks I get for helping to save a generation of Black boys.” - "Admonishing Black to seek only Black women as mates" Word from street corners - has that the BahamaAir flight back to Africa - left Pindling Airport all empty warm red shirts/ubp bodies. Time brungs on proper dance music.
