Instead of focusing on increasing prooductivity in the hope of emerging from recessionary times, it would appear our PM is instead focused on working less by declaring Public Holidays. Unlikely to be the most effective strategy as we continue to stumble towards bankruptcy.

Ah, the Puppet Master finally speaks for the Puppet.

Hopefully Monday will bring a number of resignations, firings and discharges, together with an international apology from our PM, so that we can begin to heal as a nation and slowly start to raise our heads again, otherwise our 40th Anniversary will be marked in history as one of embarrassment in terms of human rights, which at the end of the day was what Indenpendence was supposed to be all about by ensuring self determination.

I did not give this story much credit when it first broke, but it now appears as if there is definite fire beneath the smoke and our country's reputation is at stake internationally, which could potentially have horrendous touristic consequences. As concerned Bahamians celebrating 40 years of independence, we should not view this as political opportunity, but do nonetheless need our Government to get out in front of this embarassing occurance before it gets "much" worse. Clearly Mitchel was wrong when he adamantly declared the mock video as "complete fiction" and accordingly, under our Westminster model of Government should immediately tender his resignation. All RBDF and Detention Officers in any way connected need to be immediately relieved of duty and discharged, including those who witnessed, but chose to do nothing. Likewise, if Senior Personnel, including the responsible Minister were made aware and chose not to act, they must also go. Such action needs to occur tomorrow, rather than later, failing which the PM could find himself having to resign or contesting a legitimate vote of no confidence.

Where is the famous "Urban Renewal", oh I forgot, that was merely for political capital. The manner in which a society treats defenseless animals is indicative of social advancement as a whole, which if this is true, there is little to be celebrating after 40 years of self governance.

Sounds like another job for our country's only proven enforcer, Woodes Rogers. You know, the guy outside the British Colonial Hotel. Anyone got his cell number?

So said, so done! Never before in the history of this country has so much political capital been squandered and in turn rendered a newly elected Government a lame duck administration for its remaining 4 and 1/2 years in office. Wow, what a case study for future students of political science not just here, but around the world!

This is laughable! So The Naasau Guardian now has a Horse in the Race, but the PLP doesn't. What next?!? I personally, like many people I expect, had intended to vote Yes, as I truly believe we should all be free to make our own decisions in life, but a Yes vote now is akin to acknowledging you have no issue with being manipulated, which is an intellectual insult and indeed, condones such manipulation, hence I intend to vote No tomorrow as a matter of self respect, as the issue at hand has become irrelevant.

Presumably all those involved in the drug trade are now free to also march en mass on Bay Steet to legalize their otherwise illegal activities without fear of reprisal from law enforcement, as I fail to see the difference?!?
