Embarrassing!

Right on Tal. No one can doubt your bona fides in objecting to this sell out of Bahamian heritage.

This comment is idiotic. You as a Bahamian should be anything but bored. This is about the selling of your heritage for a few pieces of sliver.

How long until every single Bahamian understands that privatization and competition are the only way you get low prices and good service. Governments cannot run businesses. The Soviet empire, the Chinese Communist Empire both gave up on it, despite their near religious belief in it. It does not work!!!

Flip Wilson: "The Devil made me do it."
Perry Christie: "RBC made me do it."

That photograph cannot be Peter Nygard. Those stem cell shots he is famous for taking in front of video cameras are supposed to be making him grow younger.

I mean that looks like a still shot of the portrait of Dorian Gray.

Actually Mr. Ingraham did start the legal process to force Mr. Nygard to restore all of his illegal depredations. He wrote a legally binding, cease, desist and restore order, which Mr. Nygard was dragging through the courts The current government has "shelved" those lawful orders and the current A.G. has simply ignored and refused to enforce them. Let's get our facts straight.

1. Crime is down!
2. 30,000 new jobs have been created!
3. A new regressive sales tax called VAT is not going to break the backs of poor working Bahamians who cannot make ends meet now!
4. The results of the referendum on the status of numbers shops were generally misunderstood, the voters in fact wanted to legalize them!
5. Members of Parliament don't pay their taxes or their BEC bills, or file their legally required financial disclosure forms, but there is nothing to see here, move on, no comment!

5. Heaven on earth has come!

These people openly and arrogantly refuse to pay their real property tax obligations or their BEC bills with a haughty noblesse oblige response of "no comment", and we are supposed to be shocked that they serially fail to file their financial disclosure forms?

You have to be kidding me. This is a cabal of crooks who feel completely entitled to pick and choose what laws will be enforced and based on political expediency, to whom the law will be applied.

In this open "pay to play" system, watch what happens with Peter Nygard's current request for building permits. His government cronies are going to give him Crown Land worth millions, while the country's budget is balanced on the backs of poor working people, and sanction his twenty years of open, notorious law breaking and they won't even be embarrassed about it.

This is the way they do it in Cuba (where no one gets a passport) so it's the world's best system, says Comrade Fred.

On the Little People:

France in the 19th Century: "Let them eat cake."

The Bahamas under Comrade Fred: "Just let them wait."
