Issue here is Security or more accurately the lack of it. Renovations or not, important national structures should always have security present. This lunatic obviously watched too many Taliban propaganda videos. As for Columbus, all the talk about the past is BS because it can’t be changed. He could have destroyed the f..ing statute, it would change nothing. The revisionists among us are another dangerous group that should be under surveillance by ISB before they embrace this domestic terrorism.. bottom line; you have to be able to take the bad with the good.

We need to see this for what it is, another shameful fleecing of the Bahamian in a country with plenty banks but no competition. Royal calls themselves the helpful bank.. question is helping who? Themselves?

I agree he probably did nothing criminal but surely that is not the only standard by which we assess public figures? has the bench gotten so weak we compromise on everything else?.. Fitzgerald solicited a major employer for personal benefit or that of his immediate family.... that is the issue.. you can''t have government figures owing favours to major employers. whatever happened to ethical behaviour? Standards are low, but how much lower are we prepared to go?

My how quickly times change.. wasn’t that long ago things were so bad then Finance Minister Turnquest said the House would stop providing lunch for the few days they meet per year to address the runaway debt.

The Unions definitely played their role in ensuring the demise of the FNM at the polls. They have gotten used to generous and frankly outrageous salary increases regardless of fiscal reality, benefits our brioke country camt afford. We will all pay the price as govt debt will continue to spiral out of control and budget deficits become more frightening. God bless them all.

Airlines are where you put money, not make it. Bahamasair is a bad idea that has gotten progressively worse and a luxury a small 3rd world coubtry cant afford. Western is a good example why.

Some people know time wasted when they see it.

I hope UB did another study same time on how the broke government, that employs most workers in the land, majority of who would benefit from such an absurd idea, will pay for this.. i would think at minimum a corresponding 127% tax hike? Dont talk about efficiency or productivity gains, such things dont exist here.

We have to make the vax compulsory. Too much at stake to leave it to personal choice.. personal choice okay if you dont want to drink, but we cant let the interest of the few, subordinate the interest of the majority when you're talking about the economical survival of a country.

It has always been acceptrd that you dont negotiate with terrorists. You only invite more terror. So give them your best and final offer and let what happens next happen. If the country collapses, fine. That would be what we deserve. Socialism is the problem, big government, ripe for the picking.
