True they do want accountability. But what they don't want is what is happening now with a Government spokesperson saying stuff when a report has not been finished. Almost trying to make sure the report goes the way he wants it to.
Ahh but now they have shown Junkanoo and other cultural items. So to question them means you are unpatriotic. At least that's what its going to be seen as. You almost have to be happy we sent that many people. As without that there would have been no one to watch the shows.
LOL No one has been listening to the rules for a long time. Why does Government keep saying they will enforce them when every weekend they are shown to do nothing of the sort. All it does is make them look silly (this was the same for the last government).
How do you expect people to be able to criticize the data when they don't release any? It clearly says that there is a rise in cases of children but then goes on to say they have not released any data. They are only saying this to tie in with the schools not being open, this way they can blame the kids not being vaccinated on that. Even though most countries have schools open and most kids under 11 are not vaccinated.
If you won't release the video, then don't say anything on the case until the coroners case. This is a disgrace to be saying these things publicly . Always makes me laugh that we would be in uproar if a case like this happened in the US and the police refused to release the video. Whilst down here we are told to accept it.
The letter write is wrong when he says CFAL paid not one penny in tax. What he means is not one penny in corporation tax. If you bring corporation tax then you need to get rid of the other taxes companies pay, and work out which one will give you more money in the long run. In addition the letter writer keeps saying that the ex-pat communities contribute nothing (this and other letters), whilst conveniently forgetting that many of them do work here, and all of them spend here which produces GDP for the country. Now if the Government brought in the income tax and reduce other taxes to make the hit a little less bad, then this would benefit the ex-pats who don't work here. As Government would not be taxing their income (though they could try but overnight they would be gone).
Looks great. Its a shame this will be the only year they can do something like this, as next year i would imagine the area will be covered in Junkanoo bleachers from the start of December.
