Able, qualified candidates who have no connection to the PLP of old would be a far better standard for selecting candidates, but why would 'Brave' want to do that right?

Let the rape and pillage of the poor continue unabated!

Of course those who like to smoke or see the opportunity for a profit will ignore this sound advice!

What is really sad is when people run to extremes of any argument in order to make a point.
It should be obvious that children can benefit from properly applied corporal punishment, but there is also the potential for abuse.

Any form of discipline will have negative physical, mental or emotional effects if not administered properly, including time outs!

Having received corporal punishment at home and school decades ago, I can attest that when used as a form of discipline for correction it is beneficial for some children.

Some do not understand that the beating itself should not be in isolation, it has to be controlled (not done in anger), there has to be an explanation to the child of why it is being given and then the amount of strokes has to be limited. Once a person beats a child out of rage it easily becomes abuse and abuse in all forms is bad.

Which of the allegations Mr Davis is making have the former PLP government NOT been guilty of?

Obviously nothing suspicious here, with an apparent cover up by Italian police, right?

Only a geni-ass would invest in that fund!

... ever tried to stop water coming into a leaky boat?

While I have nothing against Mr Smith personally, I am tired of people who are already getting pensions being set up to collect another pension. It is a disgrace and a drain on the public purse for the benefit of a few!
