Notice, Turnquest cannot even tell you what the police have actually accomplished that he is praising besides having the media take pictures of them holding machine guns in the faces of unarmed women. And he cannot tell you what "we need to stop playing with these guys" means in terms of policy or legislation. In other words, he is simply just jumping on a bandwagon that he thinks will garner him popular support for the moment.
Exactly. But only the voices of reason are putting forward this entirely reasonable and correct position. Others with political or otherwise personal agendas do not care what the end result is, so long as they can look a certain way to a certain group for a certain period of time.
Is the media paid not to correct lies it is told? CWC does not hold only a 49% stake in BTC, it owns 51%. What is wrong with these media houses in this country?
>It is uncertain whether the 2011 BTC privatisation, which saw the then-Ingraham administration sell a 51 per cent controlling interest for around $206 million, contained any provisions relating to a change of ownership or control at cwc.
**read the darned agreement! it is a public document!** What does the Tribune mean it is "uncertain"? The terms are spelt out in black and white. I suppose anything would be uncertain if you never bothered to lay eyes on that thing.
Further, how does the government think it has some say in Liberty (which already held a 13% stake in CWC), buying more shares thereof? The government has no say in that acquisition, it is a done deal. Liberty is here. What is the government going to do - seek to shut down BTC if it doesn't like Liberty Global? The Bahamian people elected a pack of cretins.
As well as the armed robberies and home invasions, not to mention the gun smuggling. And it seems Bahamians are not thinking this through. You cannot simply order an entire island or even entire section of island not to move in their own country. It is illegal and unconstitutional outside of certain other actions in law happening first. We have no curfew laws on the books, and such laws would not be enforceable anyway. But still, why wont the government bring their plans to Parliament to make them legal instead of continuing this autocratic practice of seeking to make laws in front of media microphones? And then what does a curfew do to get the criminals off the streets? And you cannot impose a curfew indefinitely. But for most Bahamians, all we need is a show and a performance. Things don't actually have to work or even make sense, they just need to satisfy the form over substance requirement.
This cretin had the project put into provisional liquidation and now believes he can tell the parties how to deal with liabilities connected to the project as if he does not understand what liquidation or receivership mean? How many cranial gaskets were blown back when he had his stroke? Actually let me be correct; the Prime Minister fully knows better than what he is saying. What he also knows is that most Bahamians don't know any better, even in the media. That is why he is making these inane pronouncements with a smile on his face and feigned determination in his voice.

Guess we need a 24 hour curfew then, since we seem to think serious crimes only happen after midnight?
