Actually speed doesnt kill any more than guns kill. Its not the instrument but the user. If realistic speed limits were posted, then there would be less overtaking due the mix of traffic at different speeds. Then u need to enforce the no texting, no drinking and use of seatbelt rules.. teach citizens how to drive so on the roundabout, you dont have vehicles in the left lane going around the circle.. stamp out corruption so you dont have vehicles in a non roadworthy condition on the street, ensure the blind drivers are wearing glasses when driving.. to just blame speed is the lazy mans explanation.
I could only LMAO listening to Lloyd try to persuade bahamians that D, E and F grades aren't so bad because the grading scale now goes to M. What he really said in effect is those grades are virtually meaningless, so employers must find another standard to assess prospective employees.
I cant believe they have to think about this.. the economy has been destroyed by lockdowns and other restrictions and here is another strain that can lead to more of that and we are monitoring it? We see how out of touch our leaders are. Wells says there are no flights from UK. Is that the only way they can get here? Finally, its not a ban against the UK.. it would be a prohibition against ANY person who was either in or transits through the UK.
The proposition seems to be WHO should pay the bill more than paying the bill. Our population is small so I think it will be a hard sell if the intent is that income tax will provide the level of taxation needed, especially if we are going to reduce consumption taxes at the same time. We recently introduced VAT and it did nothing to reduce the debt; why should we believe income tax will be any different? This is just the old Robin Hood principle being recycled.
Uniform branches assigned to maintain law and order should be equipped for any eventuality at all times unless they have prophets among them. Would we prefer that things get out of hand first then respond? If you wait to see a need, you've waited too long.
Two comments.. why does lockdown have to be a mystery until 1 or 2 days before? You know cases are high, you know it wont change, you know you going to lockdown.. so just tell the public so they have adequate time to prepare and stores adequate time to rrstock so you dont find empty shelves like in Caracas or Havana.
Next point, you lower numbers post lockdown and they bounce back like all the times before.. what did you accomplish? Is it really a solution?
There is something fundamentally wrong with a system where you get elected by voters from one party then as a personal decision, betray that vote by joining another party that those voters did not support. Its time for some kind of constitutional amendment where if a member wants to switch, you vacate the seat and hold a bye-election.
I'm confused.. to my knowledge, anybody can enter the country today via commercial airline if any flying.. just need negative test ans be prepared to quarantine.
