And The Bahamas needs to make a definitive stance against Russia, we have to chose a side, and as we are next door to the USA & they always helps us after a Hurricane I think they would be the wisest choice for allies. And The USA is in NATO and sided with The UK both have immense military forces. China has a lot of interests in Cuba and in Russia, they also have Baha Mar and The Point, an Embassy here and other investments. So we also need to let them know where we stand, they have wavered on the sidelines and benefiting from all the unrest in Russia.
We need to stop Russian, investments in The Bahamian banks, their private air planes and yachts need to be confiscated and stopped operating in our seas and sky. America will have to assist us with keeping our borders safe.
And he was extremely charitable, giving support to charity's all across the nation, people have no idea the extent of his generosity and the legacy of generosity the Kelly clan continue. He was an icon. The nation needs more people like him. RIP Sir Godfrey, you deserve to have rest & peace, you certainly earned it.
@tribanon, What a load of codswallop! However... Enforcing laws that protect animals will also protect the public. Responsible pet ownership should be the LAW.
People don't mind paying taxes if they are Fair, and they get some sort of Value from the tax payments.
The taxes here are not fair, the poor pay same percentage as the rich, more in many cases. Also the tax revenues go to pay for our mostly useless government workers, the whole system needs an overhaul. Covid showed us the services that are ineffective or stagnating, and the ones we Do Not Need at all.
Making people pay existing their property tax (all people including Government workers) A government lottery, and getting rid of web shops would be a good start.
Lowest rates possible - - Flights @ $1,500,00 x 100 = $150,000.00 Rooms at $200.00 per night 5 days = $200,000.00. + food & incidentals @ $150.00 per day 5 days = $75,000.00 That's already $425,000.00. Not including limos & transportation, formal dinners entertaining guests or other incidentals it is most likely double that.
We need to get all these airport projects out of the governments hands, they just stagnate. For the sake of all of our futures, we need airports that are up to date and safe!
The government have always seemed to try and dumb-down society in The Bahamas. It benefits them.
There are so many FREE online schools, parents please do a Google search and you will find plenty of them.
We need to get more oversea teachers to come and work here, maybe on three year contracts. And more male teachers without the Bahamian cultural baggage, expose kids to other ways of thinking to change society for the better.
I had the misfortune to see the video, it was 'a murderous attack on a woman and child'. And where many of the bystanders witnessed the attempted murder, but clearly didn't try to help and many seemed almost nonchalant and de-synthesized to what was happening right in front of them. To see that behavior from our fellow humans was just as unsettling as seeing as the murder, that 'indifference' from some in the crowd was unforgivable. What Have We Bahamians Become!? The Potcakes were more visibly distressed than 'some' of the human's that were passing-by the scene like it happens all the time.

grossly incompetent,
stupid,
liars,

corrupt,

Clearly they do not VALUE Bahamian entrepreneurs .
