I suspect that the Queen will have him removed because he is standing up for democracy. I have never felt that England wants true democracy here - that is why our Constitution does not allow a majority of MPs to choose a Prime Minister from among them. They are only allowed to choose a prime minister if they are members of the same party. So if we have 25 independents win in the next election - we may still have an FNM or PLP prime minister who has fewer than 20 members in the House.
Also, we have heard that the court case to remove the tracking numbers off of our election ballots worked its way all the way to England to the Privy Council who so far has refused to hear the case. It is suspected by some that the reason they refuse is because IF they rule that such a practice is non-democratic then they would be ruling on England as well which has the same ballot number tracking system. It would be an embarrassment.
This man Moultrie is standing up for freedom and democracy, and we all know that such things are simply not allowed in this day and age of communist rule. Look at what has happened to Hong Kong. There has been ZERO push back from the world community. No country has ordered that there be no flights or ships to and from there. The only little whimper we have heard is that UK has offered immigration status to certain Hong Kong persons who hold some kind of semi-UK passport. However none of them have actually moved to UK or gotten any status as yet. Another empty threat to feign care and concern.
I wish Mr. Moultrie the best of luck - because I would love to live in a free and fair country - but at the same time won't hold my breath.
Imagine the govt refusing an offer of free space to run the House from Baha Mar. They could have rebuilt the House during that temporary time. But yet - they have announced they wish to put us further in debt by "fixing up" airports all around this country. Contracts, contracts, contracts. You know the kind. The kind that we never see that are accompanied by invoices that we never see. Yeah, those kind.
This is just another red herring to take the attention of the people off of the fact that government is now planning to sink us MORE in debt by borrowing money to improve airports all around the Bahamas - as if people are not going hungry in this country every day. We don't have any money to spend on airports except for very very very urgently needed repairs. Making airport pretty or more functional should wait. There ain't no tourists anyway.
Yes, they may come in the future - but let's cross that bridge when we come to it. Right now small businesses need help (real help not more debt from banks) so the people can work and the economy can move up. It is so very much like government to continue their borrowing bonanza - making things look pretty for early election - while the people suffer.
Two masks? Why not 3? Why not 33? Jesus lived to be 33 years old - so I believe we should all wear 33 masks in His honour. Then we will have the protection of Jesus from the virus as well as the additional cloth.
I guess they will reveal the mail-in *sure to win" voting later on in the year. I guess someone has to check first who the majority of postal workers support.
Wonder why the entire world seems ready and willing to have ALL their medical workers be vaccinated? Isn't there an old saying... something about putting all your eggs in one basket?
