Play the political card all you like the fact is PLP FNM or any other governing party would have been subjected to the terrible series of consequences that have happened of late. Yes assistance is required but bear in mind running a country and its finances are just a larger scaled up version of domestic finances. Simple truth is you can only spend what you earn and only borrow what you can repay. In simple terms if an individual maxes out their credit they either have to cut back on personal expenditure and or take a second source of income. Every country is facing huge deficits including the UK which has already told the population to prepare for tax increases. The Bahamas with its reliance on tourism, small population is of course in a very difficult position. That being said prior to this and after hurricane Dorian the government paid out a bonus to every teacher of $1500. Why when the countries finances are already in a dangerous state.

Another world conspiracy theorist surfaces. Please suggest a viable alternative. Feel free not to be vaccinated but don't complain if you catch covid and the economy continues to deteriorate. I will bet that airlines, immigration and other bodies will soon be demanding proof of vaccination for travel. Looks like you watch and believe what Trump is putting out there.

You are as deluded as this power hungry madman.

This man has a defite mental condition.

Go and see someone on a ventilator, struggling to breathe, then you can dismiss this terrible disease. Lockdown is hard no denying it but please what is your solution other than lets all walk free and spread the disease.

Bullying takes many forms. In education some new principals wet behind the ears, knowing bugger all about man management seek to run their little kingdom by threats spoken and unspoken and using the annual ACR to make childish and untrue statements. How about one principal , failed teacher, rapid promotion who never observed a teacher teaching once in a whole year yet commented that the teacher with a wealth of experience did not apply that in the classroom. Simple vindictive childish bullying. It happens in nursing and other government bodies that require the annual ACR. And chucky you are so wrong especially as it applies to education, new principals are often so insecure that they are intimidated by good experienced staff, whom they never consult and substitute and do treat some staff who do not bow down badly.

Come on bishop Ellis , less bull from the pulpit and get this lady a home . bet some of those relatives who ejected her from the house go to church and spout meaningless tracts from the bible yet didn't care when she slept. I know social service staff cannot help everybody but did they pass this lady on the steps as they went home. There are so many good people out there but also so many who profess to be Christians but turn a blind eye to misery.

Spot on porcupine, sick of these past biblical quotes written hundreds of years ago by a mere human which in no way are accurate. We cannot get facts or records right even with video, recording devices and word of mouth .Ellis with his high pitched squeaky voice has built himself a nice financially secure living just as so many other so called pastors have especially in the USA. If there was a god surely he could have controlled all the misery across the world, surely he could have prevented these viruses killing many of the people that worship him. There are countless self proclaimed pastors and Prophets in the Bahamas with no training just spouting the same nonsense often dressed like kings and queens . What training did Ellis have to become a bishop unlike Anglican priests who study for over three years. Add to that there are so many differing religious groups and gods that they can't all be right. Maybe Ellis should declare his wealth and then donate most of it to the poor. Some hope of that ever happening.

What a joke Ellis and his screeching voice is. He was never elected and who made him a Bishop. Lives very comfortably on tithes and church offerings. Maybe as a gesture he could cease all donations during the pandemic, but he might have to take his Rolls of the road for a while.

Surely it should be a condition of new build homes have a catchment tank size dependant on factors such as number of bathrooms, roof area and so on.. my catchment tank is in regular uae but pity people with older houses.
