Think about it. Haitian sloop of that size with 199 people.....spfeed say 4 knots......days of sailing through Bahamian waters to get to north western side of Andros......what the "H" is the Bahamas Defence Force doing?
We can all vote No till the cows come home and won't make any difference if the Defence Force let's them come in.
I support Mr. Hepburn. The Utility company needs to be made accountable.
The problem is that the St. Georges own the Utility company so no one in the GBPA is going to do anything about it as the St. Georges are their bosses.
We must open immigration to give investors more comfort. Look at the Cayman Islands for an example of how it can be done.
We cannot ignore our poor educational system anymore. Nor can we ignore the fact that we have bad work ethics. We have no idea of how to be on time or deliver on something when we say we will.
Our attitude of I am Bahamian so I am entitled to this or that and the foreigner is satin has to change.
The yes men are old and out of touch, but have the power (they are the FNM Council) in the party to vote him in as leader.
Minnis doesn't care about the masses and neither do the FNM Council. In short, the FNM has become an exclusive club that knows little of, and cares little for, The Bahamas.
How did the boat get that far north without the Defence Force seeing?
Where are all the defence force boats? What are they doing with them? Why are they not patrolling the waters off Inagua?
The distance between Cuba and the northeast boarder is not much more than 90 miles. The Windward Passage is only 50 miles wide. Two Defence force vessels should be able easily stop any boats.

Bahamians, tell your daughters that the good Bishop wants you to have sex out of marriage. Indeed, he has fought hard to encourage you to do so.
He has even congratulated Bahamians for voting No on Bill One. WOW! Go figure!

Dame Joan Sawyer also said that nothing had changed with respect to Human Rights since 1963, yes 63.
She lied. Look up Human Rights on the UN site and Women's Rights.
