My impression of Davis is that he is wishy-washy. You never get a straight answer to anything. It's no comment, let's wait and see.. Etc. he trashes official data that doesn't jive with the way he would like and like the rest of his colleagues does not release any supporting documents to allow you, the general public, to read and draw your own conclusions on anything. In this case, he wants to be PM but doesn't have the guts to say yes, I think it's time for a change. SOS, duck, dodge and be evasive. Say what you will about Ingraham, but nobody ever had to wonder where he stood on anything,,, that's the kind of leader these times demand, decisive people.
banker is absolutely correct.. the chinese like Asia, USA and Europe... if we could get 200 a year we would be lucky.. hell we cant get english people and other Europeans here and they are only 8 hours away.. add in our xenophobia and who will you get to speak Mandarin and Cantonese.. those D- folks eont cut it... dream on...
this is the worst case of professional suicide i have seen for some time... here is a lawyer telling us dont trust the legal system because you can pick your judge and verdict... oh my.... things in the banana republic are worse than we imagined...
no small country has the skill level and population numbers to support continuous, significant development.. you need outside help... we dont want it so we get what we deserve.. nothing...
Consistent power cuts have been a trademark of BEC (now BPL) since its formation. All the useless governments we have had consistently failed to anticipate power generation requirements despite all the 'projects' that were needed to provide jobs and grow the economy. It's the height of incompetence and general slack-ass attitude institutionalized in government and government related enterprises that have us where we are in 2016. It endures to our collective shame...
Previous utterances by Mitchell suggest he is a closet fascist. He believes only he and a flock of close associates have the unfettered right to say what they want and do as they like. He seems comfortable with the position that government need not share any information on anything so members of the public can draw their own conclusions. He has definitely gone a long way in the wrong direction from the days of the PDF and those entertaining releases he used to make under the tree downtown...
I applaud the ruling but have grave reservations that it will stand on appeal. In the meantime, a way has to be found to put a bridle on these little gods who slander people at will and hide behind parliamentary privilege. Its the very idea that some group has greater rights than the rest of us that is partly responsible for citizens taking matters into their own hands, as they feel there is no other recourse. As for Fred, he is a courageous national hero, but as it is written, a prophet is never accepted in his own country.
Cut the civil service? Forget it.. never happen.. would be political suicide. We are now firmly established on the path taken by brother Mugabe and the Greeks.. Economic devastation simply because nobody wants to face reality.
Forget Grant and Key... dead wood and Key is no true member.. moves with the breeze.. best thing they can do is go fishing like Ingraham.. f*uk Christie and them too...
Moss, McCartney, Christie, Minnis and all the others are just power hungry egotistical maniacs... they say they represent the wishes of the people.. well if so, how the hell could those in the House unanaimously support the referendum recently, yet the people whose voice they always claim to speak for, firmly reject everything? out of touch? you decide...
