I think that she should have done this when she was in a position of power as a cabinet minister instead of saying that she wants something done now that she has no power.
The RBDF is a laughing stock. Their navigational skills are simply pathetic. The organisation should be disbanded and the tasks of intercepting migrant vessels and stopping illegal poaching should be contracted out to private enterprise.
This pastor Victor seems to believe that there is something wrong with the power company wanting to make a profit for it's shareholders. Why else would anyone ever buy shares in any company except to receive dividends from the profit that the company makes. Perhaps he is confusing businesses with non profit charitable organisations? Just another reason why churchmen should stay out of politics and politicians should stay out of churches.
Porcufined seems to think that Julian Asange, Edward Snowden, Chelsea Manning were put in jail for criticizing Trump. This is simply not true. In fact julien is jailed in the UK for contempt of court not contempt of Trump.
So this president of the nurses union does not think that the nursing care provided by her members who work in the public health care sector is good enough for those members? Okay, no surprises here, the leader of the opposition seemed to have felt the same way.
Bahamian businesses must become very reluctant to hire any Bahamian workers because it will probably cost a huge amount of money to terminate them even if they engage in egregious behavior.The future of employment in this country will be subcontracting and employment under contract for fixed periods of time. This is the only way open to businesses that wish to remain viable. The Industrial Tribunals seem to generally favor the claims of employees over the employer. The only other option is to have a limited company with a small amount of assets that can declare insolvency.
Hey FrustratingBustyman, You have totally missed the point. As a member of the eua the UK had no choice but to follow it's laws. Brexit and Sweden are simply not germane to this discussion.
Peter Young used to write a column that was balanced and sometimes even informative. This has changed over the last year or two. His inference that the Labour Party in the UK is somehow responsible for migration from EU countries seems to ignore the fact that the Conservative Party brought the country into the EU and the Labour government had no choice but to follow the EU laws that Tories had signed up for. Disingenuous to say the least. The repetition of President Trump's fake news about Republican members being attacked by BLM supporters is just sad and perhaps even shameful for an ex diplomat who should have gained experience sifting truth from other in his distinguished career. Please do better, Mr. Young.
