Over the last 10 years there have been many death sentences overturned by the privy council. The latest was that of Maxi Tido (not sure of spelling) where in the councils judgement a person who was raped, tortured, head batched, burned and rolled over with a vehicle is not deemed the worse of the worse and therefore the death penalty should not apply. If this was your daughter how would you feel. The Privy council has no intention of approving any death penalties. So we can march up and down Bay Street and make noise all we want but we are still subject to British Rules.
I pray for the day when crime stop being pilitical and all our citizens can come together and collective address these issues. It is obvious that no Goverment can stop criminals from being criminals but you can make an inpact on persons who have not reached that level as yet. You can invest in the Police and the legal system to arrest, prosecute and convict persons in the most professional, methodical and deliberate fashion. Find a way for all persons charged with murder or other serious crimes to be tried before the courts and not placed on bail for thier safety and the safety of the general public. You can work towards removing our country away from the privy Council so we as country can truly exercise our soveriegn right to deal with the issue of death sentences. So many issues the last thing we need is finger pointing. What we need is action.
"We do not have the lower class vote". Tribune was this an actual quote from Mr. Stuart or are you imbelishing a little. And the FNM party I know do not Protest in front of Parliment or do they hand cuff themselves to the Speakers Mace. Can someone please show this clown the exit ASAP.
Any plan taken by the government would have to include all mortgage holders. It is quite unfair for the government to cherry pick who gets assistance as everyone was affected by the recession. Some of us however had our priorities in order. So lower the interest rates for everyone if you want. Give tax incentives and or have interest credits available to all mortgage holders. Lets be equitable with any releif assistance given. Ay assistance given by the Government is being financed by tax payers of the Bahamas and we are all tax payers here not just the persons who fell behing on their martgage..
