How long was our power off last night?
Not enough to qualify for relief, BPL and our representative Lundy?

And shouldn't our own MP, Mr. Lundy, acknowledge that Andros has more than its share of power outages?
Seriously, you don't here about it?

When does a thinking person realize that no politician knows much about anything except bullshitting The People into voting for them?
Not one of these MPs have any expertise in the area they supposedly manage.
What could an MP, a relative of the PM, who sits in the office of the Prime Minister, know about Water & Sewerage? Nothing.
But, we allow these chumps to ride roughshod over these state owned enterprises like they have some minimal qualifications. They don't.
What is more absurd, is how our major media and news outlets, such as The Tribune and the Guardian, with their familial political connections fail to see, or to speak out about the ongoing lack of seriousness, dishonesty and lack of professionalism that exists through the entire ranks of our "leadership" club.
We have failed to hold to account those who are supposedly leading the Bahamian people, while each year the editors and journalists see the numbers and continued decline in our standard of living and the huge amounts of theft, waste, fraud and inefficiency that accompany our Bahamian way of life.
Further, there seems to be a lack of awareness by our editors of the very real consequences of allowing our politicians to continue to take out loans, nearly certainly dooming our kids to a life of economic slavery. The debt servicing is already out of control and the finance experts of our country remain silent to merely keep their jobs, with no pushback from the press.
We wait until things get to a boiling point and then, and only then, ring the alarm.
Where is the shortfall in nipping these issues in the bud, before they become critical flash points?
We love to play the blame game. As if, our own publications and media outlets have not played a major role in giving a pass to our own people who have helped screw this country over for their own political and monetary gain.
Not just BPL, but everything will go up in relation to The People's salaries.
We lack the education and decency, it seems, to lead our nation on an upward course.
I would prefer a proven expert in electrical generation to address The People, rather than a group of power hungry and money loving jokers, such as our home grown politicians.
Why don't we look outside the country for our politicians and technical advisors, instead of for teachers, nurses and doctors?
And, it seems like those in media are a bit too close to the movers and shakers here to present us with the unblemished truth.

The real question, which should come first to our politicians, is: Why does The Bahamas need to bring in foreign teachers, nurses, doctors, at all?
If we are so wracked with debt, that we can't even pay our own people a living wage, perhaps we should ask all MPs to halve their salary so we can get this country back on track?
A true leader, someone who really wants the best for The Bahamas, wouldn't have any objection.
Judging by the photos, many MPs are seemingly overpaid, causing them to over eat.
Adjusting the MPs salaries accordingly would do wonders to the cause of making this country great again.
It almost seems as if many political people think that once they get into office, we the people owe them something, instead of the other way around.
And, judging by the newspaper, perhaps there could be some kind of ethics test.
Obviously, ethics is a foreign word within our parliament.

Yup.

And, raising better kids is never the issue?
Are they all foreigners?
How have we done in making sure our children had all of the necessary medical, educational, and social resources, and the parenting skills needed to raise a family and provide a moral upbringing?
So, who failed?
We, in failing to raise respectable kids?
Or the kids who were never taught right from wrong or even basic respect in the first place?

Wow! saying stuff like this should have you disqualified from adult discussions.
I don't believe anyone in The Bahamas would EVER do anything wrong.
Especially never any police, or politicians, or gang members, or pastors..............

Slowing the hell down, helps too.

Peter,
I don't kn ow where to begin with your article full of ignorance and lies.
This genocide has been going on for nearly 2 years.
Britain is complicit, and a willing accomplice.
Your read of history is poor, and slanted with the sick imperial viewpoint that has brought Britain to its knees, and rightfully so.
Britain gave Palestine to the jews. It was not theirs to give.
The history, by honest historians, is very clear on this.
You call the genocide being committed as, "excesses by Israel."
You sick fukker.
You further stated that, "between the Jewish and Arab people."
Do you not realize that jews are members of a religion, and not a race?
Are you a fool that you would conflate a religion to a nationality?
Have Israelis and Jews take a DNA test. Simple. That's why DNA test are illegal in Israel.
Because they have no roots in Palestine. NONE.
To read the nonsense you have printed out here, in a country where the literacy rate guarantees that there will be little push back to your meanly- mouthed garbage coming out of your soft little head.
Not only are you a sick pup, you are obviously untutored in honesty and history.
The Brits have managed to poison the world and now its time has come.
How's it looking over there in your lovely country? All problems due to the Muslim immigrants, yes?
Your country is presently arresting old people for holding a sign that says they don't support genocide.
When did Britain abandon free speech? Have you said a word about it?
It was difficult to read the outrageously many lies, untruths and total misunderstanding of historical facts.
Did you see the high honers students calling out BBC for its complicity in a genocide?
Probably not.
Without doubt Mr. Young, you are one of the most ill-informed, dishonest and full of shit commentators in this paper.
Absolutely sickening.

Imagine being able to get up in front of people, keep a straight face and say the things that were said.
Every person up there either knows, or is involved with, the activities that brought these guns to the country and to our streets.
Holy Shit. Can it get any more fricking absurd?
Part of the Bahamas law enforcement team, at the top, are in jail in the states for this very crime.
It is all for show. and these chumps, ALL of them, are paid actors. Not very good ones, but actors.
The truth is completely foreign to all these actors.
We are living in an insane asylum.
