With all due respect he has inherited a mess but the Minister is talking nonsense. You would be quicker strapping your letters to a turtle for delivery rather than this mess of a Post Office. As for shredding mail if you believe for one moment that everything shredded is undeliverable then the men in white coats need to talk to you. Fact I had an international newspaper subscription years ago. Received two and then nothing else. Newspaper company traced every delivery to Nassau Post office. Fact #2. Had a subscription to auto magazine. Never received one. So not only are P.O. employees not doing their job some are also pilfering periodicals and the like. For any business to rely on sending bills out by mail then it is the road to ruin.

I agree with the rule about dressing decently as the implication is that brief or revealing clothing is sexually suggestive. Fine but so hypocritical when we have school dances where the dancing is often vertical sex, Junkanoo which is way suggestive, as is much of the public -adult organized dancing shows put on by schools and other bodies. If you have 5- 10 year olds girating in minimal clothing at public functions how do you expect them to do better when older

That's going to create a headache for all the" over their heads in debt"

But what would you replace them with ? God knows you have a short memory about PLP mismanagement, corruption, etc etc. At least the IMF has been impressed.

There are so many things wrong and no the FNM is not perfect but what is conveniently forgotten is that the PLP holding the reins of power for the longest time contributed greatly to bringing the country and its finances into disrepute. For so long it has been acceptable to dodge duties, ignore road traffic laws, turn up late for work, in fact do everything expected of a third world banana republic hat now citizens object to any changes by the people in charge.

Its amazes me how these huge sums (20 million) can be found for reports and consultations and evaluations yet there is no money for basics like fixing school roofs, maintaining the roads and so on.

Surely this is a wind up ?

Not true, most teachers are hard working but the BUT exec's are so busy mismanaging finances and fighting amongst themselves that little of note ever gets done.

The reality is that there are so many hidden stealth taxes that have been quietly imposed.
Customs handling fee $10 even though you are paying a broker.
Disposal tax even though stuff just goes to the dump like it used to do.
Stamp taxes,
Government fees on credit card use.
Customs inspection charge AND customs attendance charge ???????????????
VAT applied not only on the value of goods and transport costs but calculated on the customs fees as well--- double taxation.

The more you take out of circulation and waste the less there is to allow people to buy and invest.
However the PLP has a dismal record of corruption, wasteful spending and chronic mismanagement of money so what alternative do we have ?

Said tongue in cheek ,nobody wants to clean up this mess.
