Silence! Wow.

Lies. The high end estimate being touted by Potter would barely cover our annual budget for the Department of Education. And for that we risk a $1.3 billion tourism industry? Please.

Where are Britain7 and ColombusCushion? It is afternoon in the UK, they should be awake.

The DPM debacle is distracting attention from the legitimate concerns of these workers. And Randy's Butler's disrespect in not even showing up for hearings.

Yah I have. And the best possible case scenario will be nothing compared to the revenue we earn from tourism. You would destroy our environment, the very commodity which makes our high per capita income possible, and turn us into yet another petro-dependent failed state. No thanks buddy.

Let me tell you my friend. I am a born Bahamian - I promise you, I have a far better idea of how "everyone" here feels than you do.

@ Britain7 - Lol look here, you are obviously such an arrogant colonialist that you don't even realize how insulting your pretend company's every action is. Did you really expect us to come shuckin' and jivin' to thank you for enriching yourselves at our risk?

Have you heard Potter's argument? This should win a Pulitzer by comparison.

Didn't BPC just merge with a company called Colombus Oil PLC? Interesting coincidence. You British trolls are so arrogant and uninformed and culturally deaf. Ya know, we used to have a holiday called Colombus Day until we abolished it. Because colonialism. If you are going to come on here to bother us, at least make some effort.

Britain7, please get my virtual name out your mouth till yinna learn to use the search function on these messages, which will quickly show you who is who. I have been commenting on this site for more than a decade, pretty much since it was launched, on a very wide range of issues pertinent to Bahamians. That is because I am a true-true born Bahamian, not a fraudulent foreign poser like you, who is only on here to run interference for your British oil company long enough to get rich off our backs.
