So I guess VAT is not coming despite them trying to force it down our already strangled throats, and the STEM cell project is on hold and the Prime Minister himself regrets the decision of spending one million plus dollars on a referendum that he didnt respect in regard to the majority vote that in turn increased our national debt. Hmmm, seems like they love to sell dreams to the people, because of the fact that their own agenda did not reflect or encompass these three main issues that they all of sudden became interested in and it is now holding the country hostage on an international level. Power itself has time and time again proved to be detrimental to the human mind and works, once they technically possess it. I really dont think the FNM is going to make any more of a difference other than try to cover or clean up the PLP's mistakes on top of their own.

So you have a party, that is supposed to be one, yet disagreeing with one another, making the other seem less credible than the other even when both persons are responsible for two completely different ministries. This Pinder man is driving for his own selfish desires in this country, the people voted him in on the PLP's behalf but he is proving to counteract his own party's agenda with his hidden plans to manipulate the financial system.

The thing is Domestic Crime is rampant every where. Domestic crimes are actually the most dangerous crimes a police officer can respond to. This is a fact. @conernedcitizen Parents do take this out of hand but you have to blame the parent, there is nothing wrong with correction/chastisement of your offspring as long as you take the time to teach your children what the right thing to do is and why. Most parents chastise their children without even explaining or teaching them the right thing because there is a lack of concern for the moral development of the child, and those are the children that tend to grow up violent because they are confused and dont know any better. So although I do believe it is wrong to abuse children, their is nothing wrong with chastisement as long as the lesson is learnt in the end.

Well if you talking about lost and misplaced, you probably didnt see how the court documents are kept, which is much worse. The government will have to invest in 21 century technology to keep their initiatives accurate and secure. Labour filing is very old school and still exists embarrassingly in many important government offices.

A tech background criminal should not be able to steal your identity if thats what you are implying. Thats why the right infrastructure needs to be in place to accompany these ID's where as if it does get stolen for some reason, the securities will then take over. Also, the sophisticated form of a magnetic strip should be used to hold confidential information (not the magnetic strip you see on the back of your license today, there are more complex versions) and the actual design of the card has to physically have basic but not confidential information. Swiping the card with secure government database machines will obviously be necessary. Thats where you, the responsible adult, must make sure that your valuable is not stolen and if it is stolen, the above information may bring some closure to your skeptic.

I dont agree with Fred much especially on the basis of the EU, Amnesty and the Rainbow Alliance issues but I think a National I.D card will be a great implementation. It has to be separate from the Drivers License though. Persons complain about carrying passports and other crucial documents. Maybe a National I.D that has all the right information such as, Name, D.O.B, Island you live on, National Insurance #, Passport #, Permanent Resident, Alienated etc. It can be like a permanent resident card in the U.S.A. The only problem I can see arising from this is the infrastructure, meaning accurate updates of the databases and various maintenance's, along with proper electronic communication between government departments. This can also aid in the police in checking up on persons by also upgrading their database. This information can be sourced to a National Crime Database where as Law Enforcement agencies can figure out if persons are wanted and also indicating what they are wanted for. In this day and age with so much diversity and immigration problems in this country I think this upgrade is really needed.

Good concept but the extent of lawlessness here cannot guarantee this. Maybe in the future when the country is more manageable.

Ellison is doing great things. He is shaking the force down for a positive future. Im sure he is under a lot of pressure by the government and people, but you must commend his efforts.

Handcuffing is protocol, even a person under detainment must be handcuffed. Its almost like asking why charge a police officer if he commits an offence because he is a police.. Im so glad that you are not apart of any law enforcement. I am not and even I could understand why he is handcuffed.

I think Ryan Pinder needs to address his vitiligo because that is the only thing thats out of hand here, I wonder if he would consider using dermablend as a cover up.
