Most regular posters on this site now know that "BirdieStrachan: is actually the nom-de-plume of a PLP politician currently out of elected office but who is famed as a committed bachelor.

The carnival was Perry’s crowning glory, .
Except perhaps for that referendum foray. .
Which turned into being his most evil deception, .
Earning gambling money to win a re-election. .
But with hordes of tourists coming for the fun. .
Dancing barely clothed beneath the Nassau sun. .
Did some people make a profit from selling masquerades?
To overly endowed women undressing for parades?

This could be really good news for the Bahamian economy. If we assume that the Bahamas government is not paying the Cuban workers directly but instead send the wages to the Cuban government, as is usually done in the past, then FillUp, Fred, and their political cronies may well get their US visas cancelled. The country would save hundreds of millions of dollars in travel expenses. Everyone should pray for this outcome.....Sigh.

Hi (st) One (d), no there are not any Bahamian workers available and willing to fill these needs. If there are then please refer them to PHA. Thank you.

These politicians value their visas, .
Especially the ones who think they are Caesars. .
Much too important to be stuck on “The Rock”. .
Subjected to their subjects mock. .
And what if one needs medical care? .
Bahamas treatment too much to bear. .
Our politicians must go to the States, .
Paying in US dollars at US rates. .
But that’s all right ‘cos the taxpayers pay. .
That’s how things work in the new government's day. .
Sigh…….

Well, yes, maybe, but the field is packed....

So she had $100,000 undeclared? Sounds like the sort of behaviour to be expected from a gubmint or State Employed worker. Sigh.

hrysippus says...

Slap happy lawyers in the courts, .
Threatening violence in place of torts. .
A sewerage smell hangs over this case .
Gets up your nose like slap to the face. .
Why do these SOE’s always seem corrupt. .
As if from a thieving chalice they all had supped?
Or is it imitating their political master, .
Stealing more and stealing faster? .
Sigh
