anytime you succumb to blackmail and give hand over fist what you dont have in the first place, unions are bound to love you... but fear not, the chickens always come home to roost and we will all pay the price in due time for writing cheques the Treasury cant honour...

Socrates says...

Big government my friends.. this will continue the financial ruin of this country which by all evidence is already an absolute success... one of the few successes of the government...

Socrates says...

Dr. Nottage has been around and made a great contribution to the medical profession in this country. i dont give a sh#t about his politics but i do feel sympathetic about his plight as a bahamian. i hope he gets well and if he has issues, i hope he doesn't let politics take him to his grave.. he is bigger than that IMHO...

Socrates says...

another worthless, meaningless requirement.. very appropriate for such a corrupt country like ours..

Socrates says...

we need to have some national pride. i say, f*#k 'em. lets fold up the offshore banking if thats what they want.. everything should not be negotiable. people can find other jobs at bahamar. in any event, the way its been going with these banks, the days are numbered for those jobs anyway .. u agree to this and they will cone witg sonething else.. never mind what you call it, its still blackmail..

Socrates says...

it should make any nationalist bristle at the notion that an outside agency will dictate the tax structure of a sovereign nation. its blackmail with the black listing threat. those colonialists cant let go of the past..

well i guess Save the Bays may not be the only foreign entity finding local politics. secondly, if the $$$ were to benefit programs in his constituency, why pau into a overseas account? Thirdly, isn't it illegal for bahamians to have accounts overseas? just curious about these things.. in any case, there is no doubt, as the US Embassy has reported, we clearly have a very corrupt government and system..

Socrates says...

Fitzgerald says he didn't get any business despite the lobbying.. does that make it okay then? if i kill someone but dont get caught, is it okay?

this man is a QC so one would expect better, even though it is a political event where he put on this display.. those folks in the UK who receive names for various honours sent by 3rd world governments including ours, need to vet them thoroughly so that the honour system does not fall into disrepute. This display of public demeanor is insulting to fellow QCs i would think.. what a shame.. i guess bible prophecy has to be fulfilled though and certainly what we are seeing and hearing recently supports that we are indeed in the last days...

Socrates says...

i hope everybody has good IT security on their computers coz i figure the secretive NIA will be very busy leading up to 10 May....
