Let me help ya some . . .woman suffrage came to the Bahamas 1952 (pushed by the Elkes Lodge of USA who got their own in 1950). . .the PLP was born 1953 with the UBP Caucasus forming in 1950. . .becoming government 1958 to 1967 under british government!! The Mr. Symonette became Premier in 1964 when Britain granted self-rule in the Bahamas. Britain gave up government of the Bahamas in1964. . .the UBP was government from then to election 1967 where L.O.P. took over the lead of government! The UBP had 3 years of ruling this nation as government. . .1964 to 1967 election! Neither the UBP and PLP had power of local/self rule until 1964 when this power was granted by the British. No vote for woman was under the British government. . .never under any Bahamian governments! Ay advantage the bay street boys had when they came into government in 1964 were given directly by the British government. . .Symonette took over home rule in 1964 with the PLP at 11 years old. . .with L.O.P. and the firey bunch in the plp there alive and kicking! The UBP had 3 years with the PLP in their faces at all times, every step of the way!
During the battle you speak of, L.O.P. joined the PLP 1953 and was appointed party legal advisor until he became party parliamentary leader in 1956 after the PLP lost the election with Stevenson as leader.
The Britain gave home government to the ubp(predominatly white) in 1964. . .who held and unpaid parliament since the time of pirates. . .they made no laws, controlled no monies, were responsible for no government services or protections whatsoever. . .they were just that. . .a bunch influence peddlers hob knobbing with the British elite. . .who were all overseas colonial public servants. . .influential blacks had the same paneling power as well to better their states. Many of them did!!
So you can see. . .if you want to. . .most of the crap the black man have to deal with was put in place by black and white influence peddelers to the british power to get ahead for friends, famlies and lovers. . .

Another example, two American president killed for drug involvements when Abraham Linclon April 14th, 1865; J. A. Garfield Sept. 1881; William Mckinley 1901 and J. F. Kennedy 1963. . .besides those four no other USA President was killed before Obama became president.

You may be eluding to the accusation that "Big Joe Kennedy" was involved in rum running out of Canada during prohibition. . .the Warren commission/CIA/FBI and multiple conspiracy groups could not tell clearly why JFK was killed. The prevailing theory is that he was killed for "pulling the plug" on the Bay of Pigs Invasion planning!! You seem to know what the rest of the world don't know. . .

Anybody understand this mixed-up . . .I don't know what to call this. . .the only thing makes sense is that Woods Rogers was given amnesty and because of his "pirate skills" was commissioned as GG to the islands and was given the mandate to clear out pirates!! As for the rest of that post. . .where do you get your information from. . . I know that it is in your head. . .but I want to know where you get it from before it is "jumbled up" in you head?

Beside the Meyer Lansky scandal which other major scandal you can find under the UBP government. . .? Yinna running ya mouths with little knowledge about yinna topic. . .either check ya facts or sit this one out. . .please. . .ignorance een funny!!

ignorance is bliss only in the head of the person who insists in staying in it. . .i suggest that you start with the book pindling and top of the mountain. . . two books that tells about the belly of Pindling dirty politics. . .then move on to COI report 1984. . .

i suggest that we find a "real" issue with the minnis government and provide relevant, honest dialogue where we can become congruent with the development moving forward in this nation!

the horse is out of the barn peoples. . .cheap political stupidity will not have any cogent input to anything except to show ya hate or jealousy!!

you will see more dumb comments than this around here. . .either they don't know how the public services works or they are just plainly "lost in their own juice". For example, the DOE had an acting director for the last 14 months. . .and the replacement was sworn in as acting!!

Yall see why he says what he says. . .dumb statements like above. . .dishonest comments full of "blinded" hate and some jealousy. . .he may be a poor speaker. . .but lazy, dumb, a do nothing nitwit he is not!! That's where yinna keep shooting yasef in the foot so to speak. . .yall keep being dishonest and mean. . .while he winning the hearts of the people. . .like he did during the election.

Call him what ya like. . .he will win again as long as yinna keep looking like yinna "barking at moving car". . .the people them are not stupid. . .we know black crab syndrome when we see it!!

So if yinna hope to make a significant dent in the electability of doc come 22. . .yinna sure have to do better than we see yinna doing around here. . .he making azzes of yinna all over the place. Why yall think he is getting more comfortable with his "power-base". . .yall talking a bunch of nonsense. . .ween on yall run wid dat!!

Read people. . .please learn to go and read. . . .that man was the pariah in his party because he was an ardent advocate for black rights and their equal access to the resources of this nation!! I wonder when the Tribune will start publishing the things he did for the black Bahamians and the hell he caught in HOA for his advocacy for poor blacks!! This ignorant ranting going on on this site is a witness of how much contemporary history of this nation known by our elite!!

He/she can't because as I usually tell him/her. . .what the hell are you talking about? Higher ordered decision making must depend on accurate descriptives and inferences in data. . .John has never learned the primary duty of activism. . .stop talking nonsense and be honest. . .technical bureaucrats will ignore jumbled up conjectures as such. . . nonsensical data. . .it cannot be used for any relevant log-frame matrices planning. . .
