Should have kept the Queen on all Currency Notes … and left our primary airfield as Nassau International Airport … results in too much controversy and makes us look 3rd World … lesser significant assets such as Buildings are ok and there will always be many to go around to keep everyone happy, but the really big stuff should be left alone as it only serves to damage our image globally, not enhance.

Very naive thinking … why did Shell set up a structure here in the first place … and unless we are the lowest tax jurisdiction in the World … why should they stay … surely not for the Comch Salad, Kalik and Junkanoo! Given that the World will never “agree” to allow other Nations to have fiscal advantage, particular small “semi”-corrupt Nations that are mismanaged and in need of Global humanitarian assistance when disaster strikes, the dominant economies are now calling the shots and forcing “all” to comply … or face exclusion from the international banking system, which will really bite home if we are not careful when the credit card does not work in Florida and it is not possible to wire fees to US, Canada and UK schools and universities, not to mention purchase petroleum, food and medical products … and as for “standing up”, last time I checked this required “legs” … do we have any left, as coconut trees don’t count?!?

10% is already much higher than competing Countries ... and one can not tax yourself out of debt ... been avoiding proper management of our Country’s finances for far too long ... now leaving little option but to surrender our sovereignty to the IMF. Sad reality to not celebrate 50 years of failed independence.

Just plain awful ... more and more channels are blacked out for presumably non-payment of royalties making it very hard to watch and follow any international sport, including various Soccer Leagues,Rugby, Formula 1, Americas Cup, etc., etc.

God save The Queen ... forever!!!

This sad story is precisely why one should “always” spear fish in pairs, not merely to ensure the catch by following up on wounded fish with a second spear shot, but to ward off shark attack and to immediately assist (as appears to be the case here) in the event your buddy experiences shallow water black out,

The lack of cheap skilled labour of which the Fish House Coalition complains is the same for every business in The Bahamas ... and is all about money at the end of the day ... if they can hire Dominicans to fish, why can’t Constriction Companies hire Chinese and Mexicans to build, Farmers Haitians and Cubans to farm, Filipinos and Indians to work in hotels, English, Europeans, Canadians and Americans as Lawyers, Bankers, Secretaries ... I am sure you get the point ... The Bahamas is either for Bahamians or Open to ALL ... both scenarios have Pros and Cons.

Sounds like the Puppets have got wise to being manipulated by Masters pulling strings behind curtains.

Well said!

... yer another sad day in the History of our Country ... nothing to rejoice over.
