I wonder if Mr. Allen subscribes to Telegram, the Russian owned and Russian controlled Social Media platform. I wonder if Mr. Allen subscribes to TikTok, the social media platform owned and controlled by the Peoples Repupublic of China. I wonder if Mr. Allen has considered that these 2 great powers in the world today are both dependent of the production and use of fossil fuels; Russia in exporting and China in using coal fired power stations to fuel their manufacturing economy. No one has more reason to try and discredit the reality of man made climate change than these two countries. The are flooding social media platfoems with their propoganda. Many people are being deceived.
Based on past experience with Government departments and State Employed Workers this will all be a disappointing waste of time for both the people employed there and the members of the public or the public entities seeking any information about anything that any government entity has done, It will be delay, delay, obscurate, and delay.
I may be way off base but I will look with interest to see what, if any rewards, Mr. Robert Sands , receives in the next couple of years, taking into to account this overt support, vis a vis NIB , for the beleaguered PLP government and also his marital connections.

Bahamian sloops have had decals advertising their products on their hulls for decades now. I can see no problem aith it. If you go to any sporting event then you will be exposed to the sponsors advertisements.
My father spent his life as an actuary in a significant British insurance company; the nib is unsustainable and that has been obvious since the latter half of the 1980's. Over 40 years of malfeasance and mismanagement by government appointed lackeys. I just regret that prominent member of Rotary was involved in this debacle.
Refined sugar is a drug many times more harmful than marijuana. This is an opinion shared by many of the more informed and educated. As is usually the case; government policy lags well behind the current understanding, Hyper processed foods are even more damaging to human health than processed sugar. Advanced countries are now moving towards tackling this problem. Give the government another 10 or 20 years and they may do the same. Regardless this iwould be a positive step forward if enacted.
A small correction is needed to this column. The anonymous entity behind this social media effort are paying for advertisements to appear of Facebook, I do not think that they have a page. It is a clumsy effort which I would expect from a lawyer or businessman who is not well grounded in marketing. I am reminded of that PLP lawyer who set up a fake Facebook page called SaveTheBaysAgain to imitate the original Save The Bays organization in order to try and discredit a wealthy expatriate resident It did not work thankfully.
