I agree with Name Withheld. It's absurd the amount and size of the hoops that we need to jump through. Too boot privacy is also out the window.
Sadly this hasn't stopped or even slowed down international money laundering or terrorism (two things that certainly need to be stopped completely).
But in reality, I don't think these measures are designed to stop either or these things; I think it's really so that the big countries can better control our economies by controlling the money. I used to think it was designed purely to shut down our offshore financial centre, but that's just a bonus for them.
I pray that the vendors at Potters Cay would encourage their patrons to park in the parking lots provided and not to be so damn lazy as to find the need to park mere steps from a conch stand. I do however acknowledge that a distance of over 100ft is a very long and strenuos walk for many of us. And why do the vendors find a need to put the generators in the road? Why not put them in the back to muffle the noise? Is it because they want to show that they got power? They just bring the over-the-hill mentality wherever they go and then wonder why no-one wants to sit at their dirty, nasty, stinky and loud stalls. Sad.
The PLP's motto is to spend, spend, spend! Why? Because 1) that's how kickbacks are 'earned' and 2) they know eventually the FNM will get back in and work tirelessly to try and get the house back in order.

Agree. They need to lick their wounds and move on. Plenty more PLP's to go after.
