Funny...no word at all from the auditors, whom I believe are in charge of handling any transactions or sale of property...all of a sudden Christie is massaging the Chinese backs to get back to work...sickening. I thought Deloitte had some higher standards than allow all this political interference.
Hey...don't get me wrong, I'd have a handgun for self defense tomorrow if it was a legal option...but unfortunately it's not, so whether its self defense or not, if the person firing the shot is using an unlicensed firearm you kind of have to enforce something.
While I am happy one less thug is off the street...the question has to be asked though...was the man who shot the robber using an unlicensed handgun at the time of the shooting? While there should be no question with regards to the self defense concept and no murder charges pending, the issue of what HIS weapon is should still be dealt with and whatever penalties come from that need to be brought to bear.
Burns House bought Butler & Sands...not Heineken...turning around and saying the Sands was somehow financed because of involvement with Heineken is deceitful...but...your 'clarified' history is correct.
The Prime Minister Hubert Ingraham and his party the Free National Movement went down to resounding defeat on Wednesday 27 February 2002. Their spin doctors and apologists are trying to make-up all sorts of stories about the whys and the wherefores.
The simple fact is they were beaten and beaten convincingly.
This Senator believes that his position from the start that he would vote no has been fully vindicated. The lesson for the PLP is that the role of a political party is to shape public opinion, not the other way around. We must be informed by public opinion but the duty to lead is the role of a political party.
We therefore must congratulate the Leader of the Opposition Perry Christie and his team for the skilful manner in which this whole thing was handled.
On the other hand we have nothing but scorn for this jackass that we call our Prime Minister. He had to concede defeat just after 9:30 p.m. on the night of the referendum. But the next day, he was back true to form. He refused to resign making some spurious distinction by saying that this was a vote not against the FNM and himself but against the issues raised in the referendum. That is utter foolishness and is at variance with every known convention of the constitution.
The only event that we ought to now be discussing is the outcome of the general election. But here we have a Prime Minister who refuses to step down, and the Opposition forces have not yet rallied themselves to force him to go.
At this press conference, he showed no contrition, no repentance, and no remorse. He just continued along like nothing happened.
In fact he said that he is ashamed of the Bahamian people for having voted no. Then he proceeded to jump on a plane to a Heads of Government meeting in Australia on the strength of the same Bahamian people’s tax moneys. We should be out in the streets, forcing him and his Government to go.
