Yes i have heard of them. They weren't arrested for criticizing the rulers, they were arrested for leaking information (whether you agree that they should be able to or not is another matter). And yes you are allowed to protest, which is why thousands have been for a long time. What you are not allowed to do is destroy property, which is when you get arrested. Anyway if you want to prove your point, go to DC with a placard that says you hate Trump. Then if you are not arrested go to Cuba with one saying you hate Castro. Let me know which one allows you to.

Dawes says...

Can you show me an example of that? I have seen plenty people criticize Trump and they still seem to be out of jail. Now try live in Cuba and criticize Castro, let me know how it goes

Dawes says...

Hmm can't decide if the writer has a good point or not. He misses the fact that we all use Cuban doctors as we have failed in our countries, and Cuba provides a very cheap option. To say Cuba has been a first responder in natural disasters and not mention the amount of help the US gives after natural disasters is strange. I guess countries should turn a blind eye to what countries do in their country (though if they did would there have been any pressure on SA to release Mandela?), i know i would not want to live in a country where criticizing the rulers may well put you in jail. At the same time i agree the US policy to Cuba has not worked and they should think of something else.

Dawes says...

A lot is due to panic buying causing the price across the world to go up. In addition there has been some major issues with growing food across the world this year which will translate into higher prices. No idea how Super value works out its margins but we all pay more for non bread basket items thanks to those items. Just surprised that no other supermarket has not decided to undercut super value, as in time they would grow greatly.

Dawes says...

I'm not sure on that. There is no vaccine and yet tourism has occurred in Europe, so i wouldn't be surprised if people are willing to risk a holiday, as long as they know no lockdowns and quarantine .

Dawes says...

I am unable to find the information out, however what is our death numbers overall this year compared to the last few years. It would be interesting to see if this year has more or less deaths overall. The fact is the PM did a great job in the first phase and was able to eliminate the virus. Then he made his mistake of opening up borders and now we have it again. He tried a hard lockdown (stupidly with no notice) and we the people said no. So now we are reopening (we have to economically) and yet we the people are causing the problems. It is not the PM who is out partying without social distancing, it is us. If we just follow the social distancing, washing hands and wearing masks we should be able to do pretty good. However that won't happen and instead of blaming those who are not able to do that, we blame the PM.

Dawes says...

I believe this has been said by every Government for the last 20 years, and each time they make even larger losses.

Dawes says...

How temporary? I mean on July 10th he inistied that if we gave him 3 days then it would all be over. That was a lie. so are we to wait Until the vaccine? Many more lockdowns to come as every time we open up a bit there may be more spread. If Minnis was smart he would have got the hospitals ready for the next wave. But nope he did nothing .

Dawes says...

Useless Minnis strikes again. If he was actually sincnce about the health issues we face he would have tried to sort the Health Department out from when he got elected. As of now he has done nothing, but he can now use its decrepit state to force a lockdown on Bahamians.

Dawes says...

I think the last thing anyone would want is to have a Government Building named after them. You know within a couple years it would be run down as our government can't maintain anything.

On Now you see it . . . and now you don't
