OK, Well, yes, we did give away 141 million dollars of your taxpayers; money but we did in fact cut down a whole valuable cork tree on the Montague foreshore that was not harming anyone, so there.....

So as a business owner you have to find money to pay your employees for 10, rising to 15, days of vacation each year, plus 10 days of National holidays, plus 5 days of sick leave, plus now an additional 3 days of mental sickness leave. So the employee gets paid for 30 days of not working. There are 260 potential work days. on the 230 days that will actually be worked, each employee must be productive enough create enough wealth for the business to fund these 30 work free days. Given the reputation of the Bahamian workers' productivity, then we can expect a general rise prices of everything. There is no such thing as a free lunch although politicians may try to tell you a different story.

Wannabe politicians bereft of sensible political agenda most often revert to the well worn playbook that seeks to create fear and outrage directed to any available minority. For Populist candidates the minority group is usually the latest group of immigrants. It is a practice that thrives on division and is inherently evil, while at the same time, being too often successful over the centuries.

And in other news, whichever political party has the most money to spend campaigning will almost certainly win the election. You can take that as a safe bet. Issues of National importance will not feature greatly in most voters decision making process. There will be a D- result. sigh.

Reminiscent of the evil days of the Pingdom when the plp goon squad attacked the fnm candidate in Lewis Yard. Just another part of the country's history that is never taught in our schools. sigh.....

So one more dot is added. The more dots that are added then the clearer the picture that will emerge when all these dots are connected. yawn or sigh, your choice...

When politicians publish a book they sometimes order thousands of copies themselves which they then give away, this has the effect of publicizing the book as it appears to be a best seller. Obviously this is not something that a plp candidate of outstanding integrity would ever consider doing................

I have always admired a quote by Bertrand Russell which states; "If a thing is worth doing, then it is worth doing badly." Russell, along with one of my past relations, was a founder member of the Fabian Society.

Why does this Strachan person always have a pro-plp, anti-fnm comment to share. Is he really a plp-paid operative? The Tribune is the only one who really knows the truth. And the owner of the Tribune confessed to a desire to represent the plp as a candidate, so any refute may be suspect.
