@pat242. FYI... I was speaking in reference to this particular headline; not that of the general performance of our police force. A major operation conducted in our capital which requires expensive resources, money and time should have yielded more than one illegal firearm, especially when there are more than two dozen illegal firearms on one street corner. This particular story is nothing more than a celebration of mediocrity. So until you can accurately interpret clear, coherent, written english; you shut YOUR mouth.

A major operation conducted by a large group of police officers throughout our capital only yielded one illegal firearm??? On ONE street corner in Nassau there are at least a dozen gun- wielding criminals. A major crackdown should have resulted in more than just one confiscated illegal weapon. C'mon police force! Y'all can do better!

I'm not a fan of Mr Shane Gibson nor his PLP party. But in this case he is absolutely right. This whole mess at btc and the burden of responsibility to be bared with it rest squarely on the shoulders of the FNM government. Bahamians fought and protested the sale of btc; yet the FNM government did so anyway. Now they're trying to pass the blame in the wake of residual backlash and job losses for Bahamians. FNM members need to shut-up on this matter! This is their fault!

Simply put... because they couldn't.
If a contract is to be changed, then both parties involved must be in congruence. Clearly C&W weren't willing to negotiate certain changes.

Dr Hubert Minnis is an opportunist who only talks for talking sake. This whole mess at btc was initiated by his FNM government when they decided, against the people's will, to sell more than half the company.
Someone please give Dr Hubert Minnis some toilette paper to whipe that diarrhea coming from his mouth.

That's not nice.

From where I'm standing... the more he talks, the more idiotic Bahamians vote for him.

Time will eventually tell what Mr. Bain's motives and intentions are. I sincerely hope that he is "**indeed**" qualified to function effectively in the political arena. I'm almost inclined to applaud his position thus far, seeing that it fortifies my claim that Bahamians need to seriously consider moving away from the FNM **and** PLP.
I can only pray that he is a legitimate candidate.... if only to save what's left of our country.

Listen... I understand why the above mentioned women's rights movement would want to protest on this matter. The flippant and careless manner in which Leslie Miller conducted himself was a disgrace and embarrassment to the nation.
But maybe a lot of Bahamians should consider protesting against themselves for electing a "bush-league" government into office. Perry Christie and his organization of PLP cronies have always been known for lacking integrity, decency, and accountability. And in this case, nothing has changed. Once again an absentee Prime Minister Christie lacks the distinguishable ability to display leadership, while his party members run rouge. But considering that this has been the PLP's mode of operations for the past three decades, I'm really not surprised by Perry or Leslie Miller's action. Rather, I'm astonished by the fact that Bahamians continue to vote for these guys. I mean.... what do the Bahamian people expect when you vote for people lacking integrity??? When you vote for a "bush-league" government, you get a "bush-league" government.

You're absolutely right.
But as I constantly remind our readers... the simple truth still remains.... The Bahamian people knew exactly what they were getting into when they voted PLP. We knew that the PLP was, and is, a pathetic, off-brand, illegitimate, incompetent, inflammatory, negligent, unaccountable, selfish, leaderless, careless, hapless, clueless excuse for a government. Outside of Sir Lynden Pindling, their character has always been marred by excuses, corruption, scandal, propaganda, dishonesty, false-promises and worthlessness. Every Bahamian possessing sensible and logical cognitive abilities knew that this Christie lead party was unfit to govern the country. But what did we do? We rode the tide of emotions, rather than rely upon our critical thinking skills. And now.... everyone is paying the price for it.
Being upset with the PLP government for the state of our nation is like being upset with a dog that barks. This is their nature. This is what they do. Don't be angry with them; instead, be angry at the ignorant, asinine Bahamians that voted for them.... they're the ones to blame.
As the adage goes; "people get the government that they deserve."
And the worst component of all is... we have three more years to go.
