Thank goodness that we now have a Governor General who knows how to arrive on time.

AS i see it there are three disadvantages to becoming a republic and one advantage. The advantage is that cronies and large dollar donors to the prime minister's party will no longer be able to be rewarded with one of these risible knighthoods or damehoods. The disadvantages are; the huge expense of implementing a presidency. losing the Privy Council, the Court of final appeal in the world, and lastly the severing of any moral obligation that England may feel to welcome Bahamian subjects unto The United Kingdom when the rising sea levels inevitably make our country untenable for continued habitation.

How do you stay in power? You give the people bread and circuses. Although we have a cabinet full of clowns, the country has no circus but then there is junkanoo instead.

What an evil message the so-called bishop is disseminating. I have noticed that nowhere in the Bible does it say that anyone should give any money to pastors or priests either, so everybody please stop financing these people and their sick views

Flyingfist wants to get rid of the first past the post electoral system because it results in a 2-party political system, A little learning is a dangerous thing. The English 2-party system of governing has worked better than all else for hundreds of years. Getting rid of it for proportional representation instead will always result in a weak government coalition of several different parties. Such a government has difficulty getting any effective legislation passed without compromises that undermine its effectiveness. There are several examples of this over the past 50 years or so.

The first King Charles was such rubbish that we had to separate hi head from his body. King Charles the Second was a dissolute waste of space who through his stupidity caused the death of thousands; see; Reasons behind t he Battle of Culloden. Let us all trust that King Charles will not follow the examples of his two namesake predecessors. Long Live The King, and Paddington Bear too.

If I understand this article correctly then the firing of 90 workers saved the company 3 million dollars. So, it costs a million dollars in wages, so, to keep every 30 employees, it seems like you need long dollars in this country to be able to employ people. The government has over twenty thousand workers on its payroll which explains the country's downward economic spiral.

This columnist writes: ""Biden condemned them en masse as unfit to participate in the nation’s democracy." Well, no, President Biden did not do any such thing. He was referring to instead the Ex-President Trump's supporters who entered the Capitol Building in a failed attempt to stop Vice=President Pence from affirming the Electoral College result. Where is this former diplomat getting his information from?

hrysippus says...

The government consists of well over twenty thousand paid government workers. After the last election there was a change of; about 30 people, having been elected; and about another60 or so, having been appointed; but essentially we have the same twenty thousand state employed workers who could get almost nothing achieved in the rebuilding of Abaco in three whole years. They did manage to spend 30 million dollars or so collecting post Dorian debris. How is it possible to be so ineffective for so long while wasting so much of our tax[payers money? And don't even let get me started on the potholes infesting most of our roads.........
