Well sad to say, but now they see how it feels when Tourists are harassed on Bay by Ms Lundy. And when The Bahamians shouting, "Foreigners Go" home or Chinese being beaten in their own stores. Shoe doesn't feel good when the other foot is it? Funny there's never an arrest in any of those cases in The Bahamas
Why villainize one and not the other. Let's not forget how many tributes have been paid to the so-called the father of the nation-Ping! I find that he and his arrogant party did the most damage to the country during their reign of victimization, myself and my family can attest to that. So can most of the people of North, Central and South Andros. Let's not forget his constituency in South Andros only got running water inside their homes and electricity under Ingraham. No, you can't rewrite history, yet with each passing year, the Bahamian Politicians continue to do so.
Great way to kill foreign investment in the country and if you don't think you need it, wait til they start packing up and going elsewhere. If you do turn down work permits, don't brag about it!
The Caribbean Trade Agreement with the EU was to make it easier for Caribbean countries to trade with EU countries, open access to EU countries for travel easier travel on both ends, Tourism etc. The EU is not going to crumble when Britain leaves, on the contrary, Britain is crumbling as we speak with talks of leaving the EU. I think Minis' inexperience as a leader is showing every day even more so with this Oban deal. Maybe they should be the first party to stick to their manifesto instead of being side railed.
The only sensible comment in the mix! The EU is where America stood 50 years ago. Times have changed and countries who refuse to change with it will not survive. He whole holds the GOLD makes the rules. The Bahamas does not have a leg to stand on against the EU.
Like you said observer2 IF another referendum was held today. There would be a resounding vote to remain in the EU. Brexit talks are on again/ off again and Britain is already feeling the pinch of the drop in migration, loss of revenues through business filing for bankruptcy or planning their exist to other EU countries.
I agree. This investigation was slack from the get-go. How come it took locals to find this plane crash? Even though it's been found they still slacking off on the investigation. The family of the victims should be marching on Parliment demanding answers and to make matters worse, they're trying to vilify the polite by saying had no commercial pilot's licence. There's more to this story that is exposed. Half the pilots flying charters in The Bahamas do not possess commercial licences. They go to school, gain their pilots licence and either get a job with a charter company or fly for themselves. Only when accidents happen they speak about regulating the industry.
That quote is often taken out of context!! He was speaking about Majority rule in the house and when black Bahamians were not allowed Downtown or given the opportunity to work in banks or stores down there.
The constitution was also written to keep the Brits out. When Pindling and his group went to London to inform the Crown that the Bahamas was moving forward with Independence, it was put on the table to grant Britis already living in The Bahamas automatic citizenship and the same for Bahamians living in Britain. He said NO they would have to apply, at which time many were denied and sent packing, even ones married to Bahamian women.
I agree Deddie and the same thought comes to mind when reading any article concerning immigration back home.
While the constitution does not make way for automatic citizen to anyone born in the Bahamas, the law does states that upon turning 18 the individual has a right to apply for status in our country and we all know how that goes. Many are left states for years while waiting for citizenship to be approved. 2018 we are still in the debating who is allowed citizenship and who is not! There needs to be some reform in our immigration system, any application that's more than 5 years old needs to be reviewed. They need either grant or deny those persons right to remain. If a person is born on Bahamian soil they must be a valid reason for denying them status!
