"*Mitchell told The Tribune he has no idea why she was upset, but she is entitled to her views.*"

Typical male, *I'm dumbfounded/crazy, hysterical woman talking out her head* response

Well… given that Freddie is a hysterical woman…

Comments open on a PLP dispute...

I am kinda surprised also

I'm not. I've had a sinking suspicion for a while that comments were being "*mostly*" allowed on sensational negative PLP stories. It's an unsettling notion for a paper that always touts its journalistic integrity and which I believe in. I could be wrong, there is no way for me to know if it's a fact, I'm not in the internal meetings... it just seems off

I'm absolutely astounded that Birdie hasn't leapt to the defence of the wife of the "Father of The Nation".
Caught between the woke devil of Mitchell and the old guard deep blue sea of Margeurite, whatever shall we do????

The PLP will never shake the ghost of SLOP and the Pindlings will always view ppl like Fred Mitchell as an imposter.

Mitchell has a knack for making these faux pilgrimages. He comes to Long Island trying to resurrect HM Taylor every year as well. We take it as a bad joke.

Fascinating … never seen such an open public rebuke within a political party.

Thought the tribune would not allow one to discuss. News media needs to stop controlling discussions. It is a democratic society.

I am surprised as well to see that they're allowing a discussion. I think they want to read peoples reactions to this story....they just trapsey like that.

Only open to comments because The Tribune's owners despise the Puddling Clan as much if not more than Corkscrew Fwreddy Boy does.

Wow.....she needs to feel wanted still. Just invite her next time, especially if you're at her husband's graveside....... and save us all these hissy fits.

The Puddling Clan have wrongfully been allowed to live the high life off of the public purse for decades nothwithstanding that SLOP brought so much disgrace to the Bahamian people in the eyes of the world community by selling for great self-financial gain our country's geographic proximity to the U.S. to the Colombian drug lords in the late 1970s and early 1980s. And let's not forget how SLOP also sold out Grand Bahamians to very greedy Sir Jack Hayward and Edward St. George.

She gas shown true moral courage. The new guard PLP is afraid of her strength as all Bahamians pray for true leadership as we despair over the power corrupt politicians with the Gaming industry has over our free speech, future hope and democracy. Sir Pindling in his biography cursed every economic system that would not advance The economic goodwill of poor Bahamians. As Sir Franklyn Wilson high lighted last week, gambling addictions has rotted and decayed away the dreams for poor Bahamians to ever see the promised land proposed by black majority rule to could afford housing. Even the kids are gambling away their future thanks to our destructive black, political elite.

You are unsuccessfully trying to re-write history. It is well known and documented in the annals of Bahamian history that SLOP caused at least two generations of Bahamians to be lost to drug smuggling and drug addiction by his selling out our country for self-financial gain to the Colombian drug lords in late 1970s and early 1980s.

Not sure Mitchell was even invited because he definitely didn't dress for the occasion with his baseball cap. No Jacket no Tie?? What an embarrassment!!

As i agree with her stance same time this is a new generation, she has been placed in positions herself because of her husband so i dont see the issue. The old is gone allow the new to come through. Stuck in the pass.

Nothing wrong with respecting but constantly worshipping is ridiculous. We appreciate his service and yours, but time rolls on.

This is not the first time Dame Mageurite has chastised and rebuked Fred Mitchell ( or other PLP’s) in public. And they so needed it! The question is how does the country go from celebrating a ‘real’ Majority Rule Holiday to what many refer to now as ‘a PLP holiday?’

The present Bahamian dilemma is that there are no real differences between HOW the October holiday is observed as opposed to the January holiday.

We were uniquely placed to benefit from the Encounter Day holiday and using it as a marketing tool to build our European tourism brand with the Columbian exchange. Sadly, we allowed "black wokeness" to get in the way.

Until that difference is clearly identified, it is Heroes 1.0 and Heroes 2.0, because we are celebrating the same PLP personalities over and over again.
It goes to show the excessive ego trip that the PLP leaders are engaged in.

Just stupid to remove Columbus from the Bahamas unique tapestry. He is ours and a right to be here that he came 200 years before us black skin. The slaver nation is perched in Rawson Square.

I love both Lady Pindling and Mr Mitchell and it is my hope and pray that what ever their differences are will be resolved.

Most importantly GOD FIRST< COUNTRY SECOND and all else especially individuals after

Cat got your tongue Birdie? LOL

As long as Lady Pindling is alive and they keep having the majority rule service and recognizing Sir Lynden as the Father of the Nation, Lady Pindling has a right to be recognized...and this is me saying this as a PLP NEVER!!!! Minister Fred Mitchell acts as if he's Mr. Prime Minister himself as well as Mr. Frequent Flyer...but he sure got sat down in his lowly seat!!!

Watched news video feeds and just maybe the conflict lies in naming it **'Majority' Rule Day?

From video clips I viewed - didn't see a single 'Conchy Joe nor Haitian' in amongst the 100+ invited dignitaries, nor in attendance in neither Nassau or Grand Bahama.

How do a say and without offending anyone, just maybe tis time change the name the holiday or do away it completely by simply reverting back to Columbus Day, — Yes?

Looks like the Dame made a hilarious holiday even more hilarious! 🤣😂🤣s

Small wonder SLOP always regarded Corkscrew Fwreddy Boy to be nothing but a mentally warped pseudo-intellect, unprincipled political chameleon and rank opportunist.

**Something is very very off with the stories being as allowed comment. Its is almost *tabloidish* at this point. We're allowed to talk about Dame Maguerite's upset, which is worthy of discussion, but meanwhile fishermen are sounding the alarm about the hazardous chemical spill in the waters off Abaco... and comments are disallowed???**

"***Paul Maillis, the National Fisheries Association’s (NFA) secretary**, in an interview with Tribune Business also urged the authorities to “not take a soft hand” in ensuring that those responsible for the MV Onego Traveller or their insurers ultimately cover all the costs incurred by The Bahamas in protecting its marine environment, tourism and fisheries industries from any pollution fall-out.

*“It’s something we’ve been watching very closely,” he said of the vessel’s sinking. “**I know that area, Hole in the Wall, and all the way up to Cross Harbour is a very important commercial fishing area. That area, from the point of Hole in the Wall up to Cross Harbour, is a very important potting, diving and pelagic fishing source***

How many would support advocating to reduce the 11 Bahamas Public Holidays down to just **4?**

**Well, yes, I'm planting first seed** for our out Islanders who **done have legal right** to announce their own **'out island holidays'** and should damn well start announcing for 2023, — Yes?

Every holiday cost employers extra millions.
The PLP should think about that.
But they're too ego-centric and full of pomp.
Ten holidays were quite enough.

@ComradeSheepRunner, but you're not recognizing that the majority of Bahamas 2023 Public Holidays **were celebrated under Bay Street Boys Rule.**

All Pindling, Christie and Papa Hubert did was to give them name change, — Yes?

Corkscrew Fwreddy Boy truly believed he was fully entitled to exact revenge on the living Puddling Clan at SLOP's graveside as compensation for the many times SLOP summarily dismissed him as nothing but the immature, self-infatuated, petulant and imbecilic idiot that most of us know him to be.

And to think the very corrupt and roly-poly Davis just stood by and let this happen without publicly uttering one word of rebuke towards Corkscrew Fwreddy Boy.

It certainly seems PM Davis is comfortable with Fwreddy Boy attempting to throw SLOP's legacy as Moses of the Bahamaland, as well as all of SLOP's living clan members, under the proverbial bus as the 50th anniversary of the independence of the Bahamas draws near.

Wondering what kind of bussup will be coming in July lol.

But, wasn't a former Minns FNM cabinet minister taken into police custody, ---- Yes?

I cannot fault Dame Marguerite at all. I can remember when she said that she and her daughter
who wanted to nominate for the PLP in the last election were called to a meeting with the PLP
leadership and were told that she could not run as the Pindling name would cause a distraction. Brave instead pushed Picewell out for his godson, who subsequently won the South Andros seat.
Then they gather at Sir Lynden's tomb to commemorate Majority Rule? I am not a PLP but i
thought it was grossly unfair to her daughter and just to show how 'cultish' the PLP is, nobody spoke up in her defence,not even one PLP woman who were pushing for more women inclusion.

Mr, Mitchell was always with lady Pindling laying a wreath at Sir Pindling.s grave some times mistakes are made , so we move on, unfortunately they gave their enemies a whole lot of fire bombs I do not believe Mr Mitchell intended to disrespect lady Pindling

This is my first time seeing her act out as a Prima Legacy Lady. Nice to place the female wind beneath the wings of black political Bahamian historical male dominated leadership in its rightful place.

"**Police urge people to plan a strategy in case of home invasion**"

I dont know what to say.... I guess this would be in lieu of the police having a strategy to combat crime

Illegal Haitians running wild and taking over the country and these PLP jackasses arguing about a corrupt dead man that originally instigated the situation in the first place!

Unfortunately the public isnt really interested in anything until it's a crisis at which point govt *reacts*. Wait for a story on a tourist who dies swimming in ferix off Abaco or eating contaminated fish or all the fish stock disappearing, you'll have all kind of commentary on *how the govt allow that situation? Who need to resign?* blah blah. Govt loves our ability to be easily distracted and to not focus on our crumbling framework

Wow comments not disabled yet?

And just because...

For the record, if Atlantis ever books BTS I'll run away to see them too.
