I agree with T.Russell. Its amazing how this gambling issue has now been watered down to just a referendum on legalising the more established 'webshops' which appears to be a direct kickback or payback to the webshop owners who purportedly financially supported both parties in their election campaigns. And how ironic that its happending so close to xmas when most of us get bonuses and can afford to spend a few extra dollars and no doubt will be more inclined to visit a webshop should the amendment to the law be passed before then. I smell a rat on this one!

Is is just me or does our Min. of Foreign Affairs always seem to be jumping on a plane to go meet to "discuss" a problem somewhere. Seems the focus is always on some foreign affairs issue and a little less on illegal immigration which is a far more pressing issue. I crave the hard-lined approach to illegal immigration that the past two ministers appeared to have. Perhaps Our PM should consider leaving him in in this post of "foreign affairs" and handing the Immigration matters to someone else who would actually appear to be dealing with them. We did not elect this Government to put Ministers in place who just seek to meet some personal agenda, look for photo ops with elite dignitaries and travel to conferences worldwide at every opportunity. Frankly, there are some that do not require discussion! It appears to be a repeat performace of his last term in office and if this Government is not careful there will be a repeat of their serving one term only.

It seems live every other day BTC is apologising for disruptions, dropped calls, or slow service. It's bad enough that we have poor service with our cell phones, but now if your land line is down it's taking weeks to get them to come and check it. I have only one question: Lord, when will this madness cease and the Bahamian people begin to get all that was promised on the hasty sale of BTC? Growing pains? I wonder.
