Can someone please translate this from political Newspeak into plain English?

Right, now that the horse has bolted we can bolt the stable door. Why does it always have to happen like this this Bahamas State Employed Workers?

How do you spell cronykickbacks? Just asking, no relevance to this story at all.

His Excellency the good Bishop Delton,
Has a solution to the country’s crime problem.
Wayward chillren, especially boys,
Must be redirected to wholesome toys.
School social clubs and Christian church,
Must fill the adolescent search,
For meaning in this violent land,
Where gangs and death walk hand in hand.

Ideally every room in every police station should have cctv recorded off site. All "confessions" should be videotaped. This is what happens in civilized countries, those countries still have evil policemen but there are less reported incidents of police abuse.

A pertinent and justifiable comment. The Bahamas Plays and cinema Board is just an irrelevant bunch of PLP supporters appointed to earn extra income from the tax payers, their obvious ignorance and religious bigotry is on full display here.

On Movie ban xenophobic and insulting

Obviously to spent 10 of thousands of tax payers dollars celebrating the passing of a prominent plp politico is much more important than helping disabled Bahamians. I heard that the
champagne and hors de oeufs were really excellent. Much better than you voters had for supper. LOL.......

Jo Hun, thanks for the correction; I was working with French numbers and forgot to translate back to English ones. 30 murders multiplied by 364, divided by 58 gives 188. 188 divided by 4 gives a murder rate of 47 per 100,000, Still exceptionally and unacceptably high.

The Bahamas has experienced 30 murders in 58 days so far this year. If the murders continue at this rate, and no sane person wishes it to, then the total for the year projects out to 275 murders. A country's murder rate is calculated on the basis of the number of murders per 100,000 of population. Even people who did not do well at mathematics when in school we be able to see that with a population of 400,000 the country would have, if this trend continues, a murder rate of over 68 murders per 100,000 population. The highest of any country in the world. This both sad and disturbing. My condolences to to the hundreds of the victims family members. My business partner was murdered for his Rolex watch several years ago. The pain of loss never leaves.

No one works for the government except that they could never succeed in the private sector, where promotion and advancement depends on ability rather than who you voted for in the last election.

On Govt is unbelievably inefficient
