I f you analyze these statistics that 90% of Bahamians think that politicians and senior civil servants are corrupt ;then can it be concluded that 10% of Bahamians are either politicians or friends, relatives, lovers, or cronies of politicians who benefit from that corruption?

Right, how about banning inter-continental ballistic missiles next? It will be as effective and will play well to the peanut gallery.

On CARICOM agrees to ban assault weapons

It is very sad that it is a foregone conclusion that this investigation will go nowhere very slowly and the low life's who shared these photographs to social media will never be called to account, but that is just the expectation that most citizens have regarding the integrity of the police force.

So without any inward migration the population of the country would have contracted? Have i interpreted these statistics correctly?

If you do a google search; how many people are sociopathic?, the consensus seems to be about 3% of any given population. The police force in this country has 3,000 officers. And 3% of that number gives 90. Being a sociopath is very rarely a problem to others in society. Being a sociopath who is legally armed and can kill people without consequence may be a problem. We have seen this problem manifested many times in the police forces in the US, The London Metropolitan Police force just arrested one of their own for his long career as a serial rapist. We have very little checks on police behaviour but the country badly needs same IMO.

I can only marvel that the State Employed workers responsible for filling in the potholes in our roads have been rewarded with this 58% increase in their responsibility allowance. Sigh.

Rt. Hon. Dr. Minnis is correct IMO. The government is pretending to address a problem that does not exist. Over the last 10 years there have been around 1,000 people killed on the roads, in that same time period there has been no one killed by anyone using a licensed fire arm to the best of my recollection. This is just our huge bureaucracy dreaming up more ways to justify their government pay checks. Solving a problem that does not exist and making life just that little bit harder for the tax-payers.

This is sheer nonsense. Refined white sugar is a gateway drug to hard drugs. You can call it medical the bottom line is that is a known addictive substance. Ask the drug addicts and they will tell you their addiction started with refined white sugar. Then progessed to coffee, then tobaco smoking, then alcohol use, mariuana., and then in very few cases an addiction to hard drugs. Sigh.....
