If a government cabinet minister announces that legislation is being prepared to prevent landlords from increasing the rent that they can charge the tenants ensconced in their rental units then it should come as no surprise to anyone that every sensible landlord has no choice but to preemptively raise the rent while they are still able to do so.

I had the privilege of knowing Sir Etienne, not well but probably better than most commentators on this site. My opinion is that Sir Etienne would be amused, entertained, by his grandson's decision. Whether he would have applauded or condemned his future actions will, I suspect, depend on what those actions actually prove to be. To be clear; Sir Etienne was fearless, possibly a man of integrity, but he was not a paragon. He founded the Tribune to make money, nothing else.

Scully; just so.

So, Joeblown, tell us how you feel about being hit by some one who tells you to do something but which you do not do? This is not abusive as long as excessive force is not used, aye? A slap on your face is fine, aye? Or your backside being smacked with a slipper?

Is Robert saying that it is not possible to be a member of Cabinet and keep your integrity intact? His statement as reported seems a little lacking in clarity.

It is good to see this publicized at last. Parents who physically assault their children should be held to account and punished if necessary. Personally I advocate a televised public caning in Rawson Square as the humiliation might just get the message across to these parental bullies.

Does anyone else remember Mr. Ruffin closing hotels on Cable Beach? Does anyone remember the name of his Bahamian lawyer? Does anyone remember how much severance pay was paid out to laid off workers. Asking for a friend. sigh.

jobblow, your are using logical fallacies and unfounded presumptions. I can only admire the way you presume why Jesus did or did not say particular things. If I had to guess then I would guess that you make a good living from preaching to the credulous.

Is this what happens when you start to believe the carefully constructed myth about your own abilities?

What is interesting here is the simple level of ignorance being displayed, Jesus said not one word about men who were gay, there is no teaching of Jesus's referencing anything close to homosexuality, and again and again some church leaders get obsessed with the subject. We can speculate why that is.
