Tal, man people can’t disappear in the Bahamas anymore and that is what has happened to the sloop full of illegals. I want to know where DEY IZ!! :-))

"People can’t disappear in the Bahamas anymore and that is what has happened."

This comment is hilarious! Let's not forget that a Haitian sloop pulled up on our shores just a few weeks ago. All 150 -200 persons presumed to have been on board have disappeared. What does he mean "People can't disappear". Please can and people do... the illegals that he so gung-ho to defend are specialist at this.

RBC has been straight out trippin’ for months now and it’s gerting worse and worse. I wonder if they will ultimately pull out of the Bahamas all together. I take it before that happens though they will continue to rape their customers with high fees and bureaucratic procedures to keep their accounts open. You’d swear they are doing you a favor by letting you bank there.

Tell me, how is it that you have to pay a $5 monthly fee plus VAT to save with them? That’s $60 per annum plus VAT just to maintain a savings account people! And that’s just one stupid charge. They take your hard earned money, lend it to other customers at a high interest rate and then still turn around and charge you for making it available for them to use. That is utter nonsense! Anyone who continues to bank with RBC is just as foolish to let them get away with this.

I took pleasure in closing my account and cutting up my cards well over a year ago. I have no regrets and no issues with high fees where I’m banking now.

I urge Bahamians and foreigners alike to boycott this stupid bank. These weekly negative headlines are quite telling.

At 27 years of age, "Gucci Grace" was by no means innocent. While her husband may have introduced her to her flashy lifestyle, I'm sure she also learned through him how to manipulate the political system, to a point of having such a sense of entitlement that she wanted to BE president (to ensure that he got to live vicariously through her and die in the chair).

They BOTH raped the system and the people for personal gain and in my opinion, should BOTH be prosecuted!

I couldn't agree more. The entire Government system brings new definition to the words, "red tape".

Tal for once I agree with you. There's something bigger at play here. Perhaps this is payback to some foreign interest for funding the FNM's campaign(?).

"The issue of the equality to the treatment the children of Bahamians was part of a package in each case and so it’s difficult to determine whether the views and results of each referendum on that particular question was one directly related to the question or whether it was a result within a scenario of a package that was deemed unacceptable.”

So if this is the case, why not bring the questions again? Wouldn't that dispel any issues of whether we were rejecting it because of the 4th question or we genuinely do not want our citizenship rights expanded. How else would they know we want this?

I couldn't agree more. They gat a half breed in the cabinet now so all buck up goes. Suddenly everyone is soft on immigration.

Very true. Negro deluded.

But MP's HAVE money to help their constituents. $100,000 budgeted annually to clean parks, assists with scholarships, etc., etc. They write the Minister of Finance and as long as it is a genuine request, the funds are given. Stop talking nonsense!

Further, there is no guarantee that if you increase their salary, they will use it (as it is their personal salary) to help their constituents. We have no way of knowing that because the only thing that's accounted for is the $100,000 per annum. A salary increase to "help constituents" is foolishness!
