Wow. The Industrial tribunal magistrates' decision actually coming down on the side of the Bahamas beleaguered business community rather than the employee. That does not happen very often; there usually seems to be huge bias against the business owners in favour of the employee. We must hope to see more just and fair decisions like this one.
Gonefish; the UK is governed by the collective responsibility of the Cabinet. Thatcher was just as responsible as Heath, just as Davis is just as responsible as Christie for inflicting VAT on the Bahamas. Your point about the Liberal Democrats is totally irrelevant; firstly because they held very little power as the minor player in a coalition government for a fairly short time; and secondly, because governments never repeal taxes, except in the rare occasions when a tax is repealed and replaced with a more burdensome one; Thatcher's failed attempt at the Poll Tax comes to mind.
Porkipine; you make some good points. Margaret, the wicked witch, Thatcher is famed for the economic evil of burdening the country that she governed with the iniquitous VAT, just like Christie and Davis did in the Bahamas when they wre governing. VAT in the UK is now 20% on everything; this country will most probably end up the same in the pursuit of satisfying the bottomless pit of government greed.
The UK reported a murder rate in 2022 of 9.9 murders per million population. The Bahamas in 2023 will achieve a murder rate of greater than 260 murders per million population. This is probably why the UK made the country go independent 50 short years ago.
The letter writers recommendation that the PM " Davis should lobby President Joe Biden to do more to lower the costs of food in the United States." displays obvious naivety, the cost of food depends on several factors but very few, if any, are controlled by the President.
As this building and this business is owned by either nationals, or the government , of the Peoples Republic of China, can using such a British Empire name be described as "cultural approbation" ? Just asking.
