That would be the one. How does that saying go...you sleep in the bed you make...something like that...criminals may not be the brightest individuals, but they have to be idiots to target someone who has body guards and security details unless you are deliberately trying to send a message to that individual that they are not untouchable. I am sure there were much softer and easier targets to be had than the DPM residence.

Very lucky he did not get shot...or killed. Criminals tend to follow each other around...just sayin'...likely someone paying him back or sending him a message.

I ain't worried...citizen and passport holder LONG before dear John was in diapers or even a wet dream of his mammies...too bad he can't see past his phone cards.

Nice one...family were involved with the government at the time Pindling gained power and took the country independent...sad days for sure, the country has just plummeted into oblivion and despair.

Well this just got REAL interesting...

I will speak out for discrimination as well when I think it is deserved...to drive down a public road and have school kids launching racial slurs...where are they learning this from and why...and why do I need to turn around respect that person when they come to me for a job in 10 years time.

My family has been here longer than yours, I can almost guarantee it...some of the original eleutheran settlers that imported your ignorant self here...so shove off you troll.

The PM even came flat out and said that...'we have expenses and need money to build our future...'...or something very close to that...they have no intentions of using any money for debt...it's all future expenditures...

Did they also mention that New Zealand averages almost 43% on personal income tax? It's been said before that VAT should NOT be implemented if you do not have an income tax structure in place FIRST. Also...point of interest is that New Zealand and other countries allow for DOUBLE taxation...if I am resident in New Zealand, and also in the US, UK or other territories, I have to pay taxes in BOTH countries on my wages.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taxation_i…

"Double taxation agreements

Individuals who are tax resident in more than one country may be liable to pay tax more than once on the same income. New Zealand has double taxation agreements with various countries that set out which country will tax specific types of income"

Yeap...if VAT gets implemented in it's current form, can give you a 110% guarantee that we will be plunged into an even deeper recession than we are in now. The minimum wage employee at the moment cannot make ends meet as it is, businesses are running on razor thin margins at the moment, if they are making any money at all, VAT will drive prices for everything UP, businesses will pass along all those increased fees and taxes onto the consumer...it is a consumer tax...not a business tax, and people have to get that through their heads...everyone just looks at it now as a tax on businesses making over 100K per year...businesses do not just ABSORB additional fees, they add it to their costing of merchandise and increase their mark up accordingly to cover the costs of doing business, driving the price of goods up and taking more money out of the pockets of consumers. What next...government will increase minimum wage? Guess what...that's added business expense...more markup to cover the new costs and no one is any further forward. NO VAT!!
