Never fails to amaze how the PLP both love and despise the colonial trappings of the British Empire.
Let Government house fall into disrepair for decades, but salivate for a Queens Honor.
Join WTO but remain pro xenophobia in domestic policy.
Can someone investigate the cost of having Lady P. be GG?
Did she live at home? Pocket the full budgeted Ticket? Pay her Real Property tax?

Hoarding, hmm, as in beefing up inventory prior to a hurricane? And what of first cost price increases when other places get hit placing high demand on certain items?
How is hoarding defined in this ludicrous exercise?
The stupidity outlined above is laughable if it weren't so ignorant.
And might price control look at the other side of the equation, praising those who do not gouge?
or is its edict to just demonize the merchants with a broad brush?
Pray they beef up inventory pre hurricane, although with the act giving government the power to appropriate inventories if the minister deems appropriate, with terms for repayment to follow
a merchant would be as much of an idiot.

Where is Whitney Bastian? Probably wishing he were back in Freeport!
Maynard is a part of the problem also. In fact, any of the management/union/ministers who speak to BEC/BPL are a part of the problem.
Thoroughly incompetent. As to marching down Bay St, we know what happened last time: the two most vocal got government appointed and shut up.

Just spoke with a young man i've known for decades, was arrested and detained for 3 months for breaking into his Mothers bar/rest. He opens and closes the place for her.
His prints were the only basis for his arrest. Charges were dropped, but he spent 3 months in fox hill and lost two cell phones to the Police.......
At least he lived through the ordeal, thankfully.

On ‘Police beat suspects? Ridiculous’

Digging up Pindlings "dream" is a cheap shot and obvious attempt to raise the spetcre of the dead! Internal party wrangling for position.
Ain't no power broker in either party gonna move the base of power to Andros,
it is part of the reason they Have always feared Freeport and still do!
What an expensive joke this could be.

Is the ankle monitoring system even working? House arrest but out and about?
Doesn't the system Geo-fence them, alerting someone if they move?

The Government has created the WTO"boogey man" through not being transparent nor making available their ( actually ours!) position.Since 2001 information has been unobtainium!
I'd still like a list of private sector companies or individuals consulted with. They're scarce as hens teeth.
Am I against it? no. But ignorance is bliss. State sponsored ignorance is deplorable.

Solar at the P.M.'s office and other Government offices first, at the tax payers cost, how typical.
Self service with no hoops to jump through, but let a citizen try to spend his own money to install solar and you get bounced between URCA, Min. of works and BEC/BPL with no end in sight.
There have been frequent power cuts in Nassau since I was a teenager, a long time ago!
(first inverter install, 1980!)

You can BS everything except reality. These guys actually believe their own spiel and that is dangerous.
Everything is reaction, no planning, no impetus to think ahead, total subservience to the political flavor/master of the day, no regard for the customer.
And at the same time preventing people doing something for themselves via Solar.
Where is URCA the Regulator? is this acceptable or are they also acquiescing to the political Master of the day?
Silence............

Sad thing is the driver of the other car initially suspected of stabbing him because of the accident probably is in the PMH now suffering from Police Interrogation methods.
Aside that he is one lucky fella if the Police figured out the stabbing was prior and by someone else!
This place is messed up beyond belief.
Think about that tho. you get T-boned and find yourself on murder charges!
