This article is right on the money. Any vessel coming into Bahamian waters should be heavily taxed, no, spear guns allowed. Stop and search should happen often in the closed crawfish season, and to check the daily fish catch is within the legal limit. Infractions should result in the confiscation of the boat. Let that word get out before our waters are overfished, polluted, and over crowded. Exceptions for sailors participating in sailing regattas such as Regattas In The Abacos, or Georgetown. Those guys pay their way usually.

Four hundred and ninety pensioners back on board, ,
Fill Up’s gravy train, we can ill afford. .
So we’ll borrow more and raise more tax, .
Gubmint workers can stay chill and relax, .
With an election on the horizon looming, .
Positions secure and deficit blooming, .
Who cares that thirteen billion is our debt, .
Something our grandchildren will sure regret. .
The trappings of power are sweet and plump. .
If you tink that’s a lie then just ask tramp. .

Sigh.

This report from one of the organs of the State seems designed mostly to obscure the truth and confuse the ignorant. Most every other country will report what the annual inflation rate is, simple to understand and compare to previous years. This reporting of a 1% change in the monthly inflation is practically meaningless, but as government employees they all probably just have to say what they have been told to say by their political spin master superiors. Sad sigh.

Pondering if the shuffling old buffoon, .
Will be getting more of our money soon? .
Is that big pension not big enough, .
To buy him all his wanted stuff? .
Nygaard, the plp’s rich friend, .
Has no money left to lend. .
As he sits alone in a Canadian jail, .
Trying so hard to get out on bail. .
So Perry hits up good ol’ Fill up, .
For the cookie jar and the gubmint cup, .
The cup that never will run dry, .
Not if you believe a promising lie. .
Sigh……..

The Bishop protests; “It’s not my fault…” .
Our failing to stop the spousal assault. .
Everyone else’s fault, but never the church. .
Who care more about money than women getting hurt. .
For centuries the church covered up their crimes, .
Only revealed in these modern times. .
Pastors will say anything to keep their coffers filled, .
But everything is noted, and will eventually be billed. .
Sigh ,

Bird, has lost the plot again; Ellis was never a creature of the FNM however did he not get acres of crown land from the shuffling old buffoon and his gang of corruption smeared colleagues?

you write; " if Victim could make out HP of Outboard Engines", No where in the report does it state that the victim was the one who identified the 150HP outboards. My comment was strictly in reply to your first comment.

Just another act of fiscal malfeasance to lay at the feet of the shuffling old buffoon. Cancel his pension, he does not deserve it.

umm, thank you birdseed, I think, although not really sure what you mean.

Not to forget that Mr. Lynden Pindling was descended from a Barbadian immigrant. Just how did his father pay for his expensive English education on the meagre salary that a police sergeant received in the 1950's and 1960's? Do not get me wrong, I am genuinely curious, did the UBP government pay for it? Was there an unknown benefactor? What, where did this money come from?
