Strawbahamian, you demonstrate a commonly held but dangerous belief that The Privy Council in the UK is not an extremely important weapon in the ongoing fight to maintain a functional democracy in this country. The Russian government employs hundreds of workers whose sole job is to destroy democratic institutions around the free world. You are doing your part to assist them while also demonstrating your racism, why else mention what you think is the skin colour of the members of this highest court of appeal. You are wrong with that assertion as well, by the way. Is your stupidity and ignorance deliberate or not?

%% or so of any population is born with sociopathic tendencies. If properly raised these people can be productive citizens they make particularly good soldiers, policemen, and other tightly structured jobs. If not properly raised then they make excellent hitmen for gang bosses as they can kill with no regret. We obviously have too many like this in the country and I can see no solution except to lock myself in my fortress home and not venture out after dark.

Freeport's economy was destroyed by the corrupt and incompetent Lynden Swindling, he was pissed off that he had to pay back some of the money he had "borrowed" from prominent Grand Bahama investors. Like many Bahamians he thought borrowed money should be a gift, Bend or Break, he told them and the people cheered his courage. Similarly thus was Robert Vesco thrown out the country after the PLP crooks had bled him dry. I am sometimes surprised that ant foreign investors come here at all.

Yeah, let's encourage that...….

This is great news for all those homes that can afford to invest in solar electricity generation.

The duty free price controlled bread basket items were introduced by the UBP government before the so called majority rule. The idea was to provide staples at the lowest cost to the poor. As happens with most everything our governments have attempted it went horribly wrong and we have ended up with one of the most obese nations in the world. We are what we eat .

I wonder if the honourable gentleman wold like yo comment on the increase in stamp tax from 1.75% to 7% enacted by his government. I hope he is enjoying his pension for life after 8 years as a cabinet minister paid for by those citizens who actually have to work in real jobs.

TalHusler, you neglected to say that the alternative provided was even worse. You speak in half truths. You would make a good plp supporter as long as you had an easy good paying government job.

Why does the BCC think it has something worthwhile to offer as advice to the government on the economic running of the country. Churches are the best business to be in except for the webshops. But they only do so well and make so much money for their owners because they operate with no regulation and no taxes. It is time to start taxing these parasites who prey upon the poorest most gullible of our citizens. "Give me 10 percent of what you earn and I will arrange that God will let you into Heaven." What lies they spin. Do you know how much of your money you will have to pay them to conduct a burial service? It is almost daylight robbery. These comments do not apply to those established church Denomination that pay their pastor/vicar/priest a set and modest salary such as; Anglican, Roman Catholic, Greek Orthodox, Lutheran, and Presbyterian.
