CCA employed the Chinese workers. But these miscreants tried to make it seem in Parliament as if Sarkis was the employer who withheld their documents, and nobody on the Opposition side corrected their wilful deception, or challenged them to state why they did not take this issue up with CCA if it concerned them so much.

Where a video starts is not proof of how a matter starts. None of us who were not there know the full story of this. What we do know is two sides clashed, and the leader for one of the sides was there as the clashing and face to face altercations dragged on. Why do we refuse to hold our leaders to the standard that befits the offices they hold and lust to hold? If Christie was there, wouldn't the demand have been made for him as party leader to have stopped whatever was going on, however it began?

Ha! They rather just point fingers at each other. I notice the story leaves out that both sides had their share of acting silly in the streets. Minnis should have shown leadership at that moment and told his side to simply ignore others and move on. But instead, one of his female workers was in the street going at it with a male PLP worker while he was in proximity. These types of things can easily turn violent. If Halkitis wasn't going to keep his crew under control (though I do no know if he was actually there at the time) the FNM's leader should have made sure his crew left well enough alone.

> In that election although the FNM won the popular vote, the PLP won the majority of seats in the House.

Is the writer drunk?

How is this a defence of Minnis by Symonette?

The FNM has already indicated that it will not nationalize Baha Mar

> One resident, Muris Campbell, who refused to evacuate, told The Tribune she has hurricane impact windows and will stay in her home to protect her property.

This lunacy is always frustrating to see. How are you going to protect your home from a fire raging all around you? Why are people so willing to die for material possessions? These people have families but are willing to suffer injury or death for things that can be replaced or repaired. You can't replace a life or repair a lost one. And she left children in the home as well? So she was prepared to have those children either get injured or killed for a house?

I am in no way a supporter or even a distant fan of McCartney, but Loretta is the one who ought to have had the master plan when she made the overtures she made. And her plan would have to had been to seek to join the DNA, since she was on the cusp of no longer being an FNM member. Remaining in the FNM, she would have had no ability to make any deals with McCartney because she had nothing to offer him. He has a party, she does not. He is the leader of his party. She is not the leader of the party she is a part of. She would not have been the power player in any talks concerning a coalition. No excuses ought to be made for the FNM. If it was a powerhouse with a real leader, it could have brokered something that may have worked. But the FNM is neither of these things anymore, and no one ought to be expected to simply dissolve their establish party and file into the FNM circus. That is not how politics works anywhere in the world. If the FNM loses the election (assuming the election is free and fair), it won't be the DNA's failing, it would be theirs.

> Well-placed sources told The Tribune that Mr Gibson decided to leave politics because he was offered a “once in a lifetime” business opportunity. The Tribune also understands that Mr Gibson has decided to spend more time with his wife and family instead of front line politics.

This is absolutely laughable.

This call to resign weeks before the general election is such a stupid call. He doesn't even know how to take what Christie did and use it politically to rally votes for himself and his party, which is what his focus ought to be on at this point.
