Congratulations to this churchman who has proved himself brave enough to state his position, which position is sure to be opposed by the hang 'em high crowd. There is no evidence that state executions of law breakers has any effect on the murder rate. The evidence actually leans towards the opposite. Compare the murder rates of th USA with that of the UK for example.

Countries that have outlawed capital punishment (hanging, shooting, gassing, or poisoning by the government, all have a lower rate of murder per capita than those countries where the State continues to punish it's citizens with death. Does Mr. Miller know why this is so?

The greatest single threat to this country is the pervasive morbid obesity; why did
pastor TG Morrison not mention this? Oh, now I see, I mean literally now I see.

The solution being proposed by government to tackle the county's extremely high murder rate is that people should pray? Ummm, well, OK. Perhaps we need 87 more Assistant Police Commissioners as that might work just as well as these prayers.

?Rush Limbaugh? Convicted Right Wing Opiate Addict? Really? You are seriously slipping further down the rabbit hole. Just who do you listen to on Telegram, or perhaps TruthTrumpMediabs?

Perhaps they could put up a few billboards like the corruption smeared Christie administration did before they gained power?

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.

I gotta say that I , for one, did not see those unforeseen circumstances coming.

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a fairly short time; and secondly, because governments never repeal taxes, except in the rare occasions when a tax is repealed and replaced with a more burdensome one; Thatcher's failed attempt at the Poll Tax comes to mind.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.
