How wonderful it is that the very expensive, to the Bahamian taxpayers, Office of the Spouse has actually managed to do something, even if it is only a press release. Someone must have actually shown up at the office to do this. Unless they just paid a non-government Publicity Agency to do the PR for them......Sigh.

The first point that comes to mind is that we have had for many years, had a crime stoppers anonymous tip line. This is run from the USA so that their can be no Bahamian leakage of information; how does Clayton not know about this?

Poleete partnerships may be in peril, .
Cos of constabulary actions most certainly feral. .
Greed and corruption rampant in the ranks, .
Senior officers getting rich, … .
very pleasing to the banks. .
And politicians always able to seem to get their cut. .
With no fear or favor, they never get rebut…..
Turks and Caicos bank accounts swelling with this loot, .
The question of corruption is surely only moot?

Ms Phillips asks; "What’s not to love?" The answer to this question is in the accompanying text; "as being funded by the gaming houses." Gambling is a horrible crippling addiction that destroys lives and families just as drug addiction can also do. This seems an attempt by the gambling bosses to whitewash their predatory business model. It also may not be a coincidence that there is again talk of establishing a National Lottery. Are the gambling lords seeking to curry favour with the government and the electorate to gain control of and reap the profits of such a lottery. Ms. Phillips has spent many years in the field of Public Relations where people are paid to advance a particular agenda or rehabilitate a reputation while making it seem as if there is no overt advertising being used. I cannot help but wonder if money has changed hands to the benefit of a Public Relations professional. Not, I should add, Ms. Phillips in this case as that would be an obvious conflict of interest and against accepted joutnalistic standards.

Yawn. Linky still trying for the Cookie Jar, aye? What happened to free money from aragonite?

So W&S Corporation will continue to be prevented from charging their customers enough to pay for the reverse osmosis water that they buy from Consolidated Water, so that debt will increase. The Corporation will also not be able to upgrade infrastructure or adequately maintain it. The results of this will start showing up in a few years time with more burst leaking pipes and cuts in supply. Sigh. Well at least no defense force officers or senior police people have been arrested in the US this week. Sigh.

It would that Birdie's mind is continuing to take flights of fantasy.

To many it is plain to see, The apples are not on the tree, they are already in the barrel ,
spreading the rot in fine apparel.....sigh.

The high-ranking Bahamian politician, .
Got himself in a great position, .
To make bundles of dollars smuggling drugs, .
Taking all bribes from Colombian thugs. .
The marine, the sergeant, and the super, .
Transporting worse than that ol’ “Square Grouper”. .
How many have died from the coke they transshipped? .
How many addicts into poverty slipped? .
While the officer and police living high on the hog, .
Soon goin’ be in jail living like a dog. . .
Most excellent it would be if this politician went to jail. .
Instead of ending rich, he’d be trying to get bail.
Sigh.

In about 50 years of going to Junkanoo Jeff Lloyd has been the only Parade Master that managed to get the parade started on time, however good luck with this proposed 9pm start; it will be great if it actually happens.
