The National Lottery in England does a huge amount of good works, funding art projects, educational projects, historical building preservation; it is even credited with the increased number of Olympic medals won by the country through funding of sports equipment and facilities. The Bahamas had a wonderful opportunity to do the same. Sadly the failed christie administration decided to give the gambling franchise income to only a few individuals. Why it decided to do this still greatly puzzles me, surely there must have been a good reason......sigh.
Whomever wrote the headline; "Riding Out The Storm" has either read the three lengthy volumes of Winston S. Churchill's war memoirs, or , more likely, has watched one of the documentaries or films depicting the war years 1938 through 1945. The quote is from Churchill's first speech to the English parliament upon being elevated to Prime Minister. And, yes, I am showing off ny education.

Brilliant. Thank goodness that braggart empty barrel self proclaimed Bahamian "entrepeneur" did not control of this crown land leased land, it would probably have not have had a as good an outcome.
Hopefully this will not be necessary, there are many things that go wrong with such an unpracticed and unprecedented action. How many people can legally and safely be transported on a RBDF vessel? How many life preservers do they have, and how many heads?
