Major roundabouts and traffic light controlled junctions should have "Do not enter unless your exit is clear" area denoted by stripes pained on the road. This system is used successfully in more developed but equally traffic-congested countries.

There is a potential flaw in this legislation which will be very hard to correct. The principle behind legislation seeking to protect spouses from being sexually assaulted is civilized and understandable, but what it does not take into account is the alcohol factor. For many couples having a romantic dinner complete with drinking wine is a common preclude to a sexual encounter later in the evening. If the wife decides the next morning that she did not want that encounter then, because she had imbibed alcohol, the law contends that she will have been suffering from diminished responsibility due to alcohol impairing her judgement, and that she has been raped, had sex against her will.To have a sexual encounter with another without their consent or when they are unable to give their consent, due to alcohol impaired diminished responsibility, for instance, constitutes an act of rape. The fact that the male may also have been acting in a state of alcohol induced diminished responsibility is no defence, he is held responsible for his actions even though the woman is not held responsible for giving her consent.
The only way a husband could fully protect himself from such accusations is to never seek to be intimate with his wife if she has had a drink of alcohol. Our law follows British law and this scenario is starting to appear in that country although not in the context of marriage yet as far as I can ascertain.
Some careful thought needs to be given to this legislation before it is enacted. It is a shame that politics in this country does not attract people of integrity and intelligence, with a few exceptions.

And where were you?

The colonial powers are finished long time. America and the 2nd world war ensured this. The developed countries are run by greedy politicians who need to collect as much tax as they can from their citizens, up to 90% of their income in some cases. Naturally the wealthy high tax payers have sought to pay as little as possible, there is a fine line between tax evasion and tax avoidance, one being illegal. Off-shore tax havens such as the Bahamas has been reputed to be, have thrived on facilitating one or the other of the two tax avoidance strategies. The party is now over, we are living in a global economy where financial transactions can no longer be easily hidden. Lots of bankers will be seeking new employment over the next few years. Maybe the Gaming Board can hire them all?

slop's father was Barbadian not Jamaican. There are lots of pings in Barbados but only one set in the Commonwealth as slop was a 2nd generation Bahamian citizen. He also always remembered who had paid for his education abroad but many people have forgotten or never knew who this was.

But what about Mr. Shane Gibson? He seemed to like him, Oh, I see........

And all this over a puddle in an access road that neither owned. For those interested Vanity Fair magazine had a great in-depth article last year explaining the genesis of this whole billionaires' soap opera.
