A well balanced article by Mr. Strachan. The usual right wing crazies will object but they are probably the same ones who though Bill Gates has planted a tracking device in the covid vaccine that they refused to take, and they probably also believe Mr. D.J. Trump really won the election that he so obviously lost. If capital punishment actually did anything to deter murders then it might be worth considering, but it does not.
Is there any better reason to be alarmed than that a highly paid State Employed Worker is telling anyone who may listen that there is no reason to panic? This reminds of the RMS Titanic, but I cannot think why.....
A small correction to a well written piece; " the Girl was once made in The Bahamas, too", well, no; St. Pauli Girl was never made in the Bahamas, it was brewed in Germany and imported. I know because it was my brand of choice back in the day. The St. Pauli Girl brand was then bought out by Becks who made the decision to focus their efforts on one brand not two.
A little learning is a dangerous thing. People have been selecting and citing carefully chosen passages of the Bible to support their bigotry for centuries now.
"“So, the finger-pointing is something that is not productive", OK, but it seems that because of the finger pointing the parties concerned are now going to meet and resolve the issue, so......
What is an acceptable figure for the number of innocent citizens being mistakenly hung after being wrongly convicted? What about 5 out of every 100 hangings? Or perhaps 10? What does the "Hang 'em high" right wing Christian pastors think?
Did Toby Smith ever get a reply to the letter that he said that he was going to send to King Charles? Did he ever even send the letter? Has he done anything with his Hog Island Hog Island Lighthouse project? It seems the government made the correct decision to entrust RCL to actually get the job done. Talk is cheap; money buy land.
So recorded deaths in the Bahamas from Fetanyl, a drug you can get legally proscribed by a doctor and purchase at any pharmacy; One. Recorded deaths from marijuana, a harmless illegal drug; zero. Is there something wrong with picture? We should expect many more deaths from fetanyl in the future, sadly.
Meanwhile some of these pastors who own and operate successful church businesses spend thousands of dollars on expensive shoes and silk woolen suits. Is that really the way that God wants them to use the money that they persuaded their followers to give to them? Is a fancy suit really more important than housing homeless children? Perhaps I mussa read the wrong Bible version.
