Do not worry, sLicks2, diplomatic language can be hard to decipher for those not conversant with it.

This person should go into Stand-up comedy. He claims that there is no o strain in relations with the USA. The next report is : " Ambassador Herschel Walker has publicly accused the Davis administration of telling investors that in The Bahamas, “the rules can change after you have already made the investment”, in an extraordinary intervention following the government’s plan to take over regulatory power in Freeport from the Grand Bahama Port Authority.".....sigh.

If this victim of an unjustified police shooting had paid into the National Insurance Fund throughout his working life then he must be deserving of the benefits due to him. The NIB is separate and apart from the government, or should be, and is therefore a sperate issue from the compensation awarded by the judicial system. It has not been reported whether this victim of a police shooting did or did not qualify for the NIB benefits.

I cannot help but wonder: "Has this man ever done a real hard days work? Swinging a pick to dig a hole in August,, nailing shingles on a roof in July? Or has he spent his life in AC as a Union boss that he parlayed into a do-nothing well paid government job, earning a large salary that is paid for by our tax money? I do not know, does anyone else commentating know? If I had his job I wouldn't want to retire either.......sigh

Hi, Gotspeed, that would make sense; otherwise we have an economist whose whole life's work is in figure, who does not understand figures; or we have a reporter, whose whole life's work is on words, who does not understand words.

Prof. Pinder is reported to have said; "New Providence had approximately 105 people per square mile,". Now working with very approximate figures; an island 21 miles by 7 miles' 21X7= 147 sq. miles. (actual land area reported at 80 sq. . miles)Working. for simplicity with the 147 X 105 = 15,000. Surely no believes the population of New Providence is only 15,000...? Sigh

This is fair enough but the Rastafari also perhaps should thank the king on behalf of the thousands of Bahamians descended from enslaved people rescued from the slave carrying ships by the Royal Navy and subsequently settled in New Providence; think Adelaide and others.

The Christie government received several thousand tear gas grenades from the Chinese government for crowd control. These grenades would have come with a grenade launcher. Perhaps someone needs to check the inventory and see if anything is missing; there may be yet anothwr bad apple in the barrel.....sigh.

These state employed workers under this PLP government could not buy even buy a round of drinks in a free bar at a wedding....just saying. sigh.....

The years of relative peace may be over; Ukraine, Iran. & Venezuela all indicate that anew reality is facing this country. We have enjoyed are years of plenty, and mostly squandered the riches thereof, now come the years of famine. Best learn how to fish and grow corn again.
