As an outsider and visitor to the beautiful islands of the Bahamas I am astounded that a club whose members are some of the wealthiest on the planet sees fit to lay off staff at this critical time. It beggars belief the club, with a harbour full of boats each of which would fund the entire salary's of all those who will lose their employment for years, cannot look after the interests of the people who have served and protected members in their exclusive club.
Are the wealthy members so indifferent to the fate of the staff that they will just let this happen?
I suggest that the Western World, having supported and funded the bank mismanagement in 2008, will pay a heavy price politically if they do not now support the poorer members of society who are losing their jobs through no fault of their own.
The wealthy people, and in particular members of LCC who have enjoyed the benefits of the Bahamas and the cheap labour they utilise for their comfort, must now step up and support these people.
