The PLP chairman has been uncharacteristically quiet. Is it possible that he proposed the Party's strategy of opposing the curfew measures and this opposition was then deemed inadvisable politically and practically.
How close was Sol's dream to being derailed by the PLP? They promised to cancel the deal with Sun if only they were elected. I remember Pail Adderley announcing this and thinking to myself "What an idiot.". Luckily for the country the PLP was not given the mandate to govern. Most PLP administrations have been a fiscal disaster for the country but not usually for the cabinet ministers it seems.
Hey Banker; you got it totally right. I have been telling anyone who would listen about this unpalatable truth for decades now. As national characteristics we do not plan for the long term and we do not manage our financial resources well. The government is made up of representatives of we people so what is true for us is also true for the government. Chicken Little has it correct this time; the sky really is falling. God luck to us all.
is this really effective in cutting down the transmission of covid19? Do people really catch this virus from walking on the downtown sidewalks? If so then good for the DEHS but I seems more like a PR exercise to let the electorate see that their government is doing something. Does the virus not die after 24 hours on a surface like tarmac?
hey MessyGin, you missed the point again. I was saying what people saying is Toby's hard work; having tea with the GG and things, just is not hard work compared to mixing concrete. I have mixed concrete, you are saying you have too which might or might not be true; but what you gotta admit is true is that it is true hard work. Not like tying one flag on one lighthouse one time. I hope you are able to understand this now what with all your drywall and picks and shovels experience. Picks? really?
Hey Messygyner. I have almost certainly mixed more concrete in the hot sun than most, used a Makita 38lb jackhammer to dig holes more than most, shingled and tiled roofs more than most, but you are correct about not ever having worked humping garbage cans all day. I do not know Mr. Smith at all but you not find anyone in the country who has ever put anything in any of my pockets. Now, can you say the same? I thought not.
I see posts declaring hoe hard Toby Smith has worked on this project and how much money he has spent. Frankly I do not believe it. How much money has he spent and on what has he spent it? Tying a flag onto the lighthouse, arranging a call on the governor general to get his face in the newspapers, and removing one small boat load of trash is not hard work. Mixing concrete in the sun is hard work, reporting to work at 4:30 am to hump trash cans all day is hard work. The money the cruise ship line has invested is serious long dollars, soo I ask again just what has Mr. Smith done that warrants him receiving a large parcel of some of the most valuable real estate in the Bahamas?

Bodie is irrelevant, at the number of sickeningly sycophantic letters has dropped. Please never forget that he was disbarred for very good reasons.
