Maybe you should stop being so beholden to a political party and become beholden to your country.
Hutchison held all the cards in the deal. They could have chosen not to sell and then just closed the airport down. This was clearly a no win situation for the government. No government, irrespective of the party in power, could have done better.
You don't believe it? Ask the operator of Memories what Hutchinson did to then to cause Memories to fold.
Let's stop being political and look at the fact that we as a country have not taken the lead to invest in our own nation, but always want someone else to do it. Then we blame the government when it does not work. Maybe it is time we start looking in the mirror ourselves.
I'm done posting. I'm about making a difference and doing something!
Let me be upfront first and note that debating in the Bahamas does not work. Leaders only push for debate when in opposition, but seem to forget about it if they assume power.
That said, some of the excuses given for turning down the debate are legit while others do not hold water. First, the issue of one media house is lame. In the US, every presidential debate is led by on media house.
Second, the issue of a commission to do debates it valid. We do need one just like the US has one which sets some of the basic ground rules. However, we are not mature in our country to have anything independent as we are too immature in taking political sides. I would not expect Minnis to take the lead to bring it about and for Davis it would only be politically pandering to say one should happen as in all his years in the PLP he never called for one.
Maybe Culmer can seek to become a statesman and suggest that this is the time to set in place proper groundwork for what will be the place of debates in our developing democracy, without regard to politics.
But then again what is the point of a debate? Anyone can promise to do something. I mean that is what the politicians do now.
What I don't get is that Gardner is only one person and Miller is only one person. Do the two of them run all the legs on a relay team? Are you telling me that the BAAA can not field a team without those two? Im sorry but the explanation by the BAAA president does not hold water. He needs to try again. Stop trying to blame Gardner and Miller.
It is amazing that these so-called human rights organizations never open their mouth to speak against illegal immigration and illegal construction by illegal immigrants.
If you are not able to speak truth to power under all circumstances, then you have no moral leg to stand on on anything you say.
Like you I am flabbergasted and still trying to figure out this editorial. Is seems like The Tribune is advocating the ilegal immigrants and illegal construction because pople they say need a place to stay to help for reconstruction?
This is in no way responsible jouranlism.
We must deal with illegal activities in the country. Otherise, we might as well allow the children to go to school and sell marijuana cookies, let the drug lords, run wild, allow illegal guns to stay o the street.
I'm sorry but this editiroal enrages me, that a national paper in this country seeks to justify illegallity in people who bltantly break and immigration and building laws and fluant it.
So the Tribune decides to blur the face of the asylum seekers who were found not to have done anything wrong. Yet, people who are hauled before the courts and are innocent until proven guilty, they seek to splash their faces, without blurring it mind you, across the page of the paper.
If you will blur asylum seekers who are released faces, then the same should be for people who go before the courts and just have a charge brought against them, but have yet to have a trial.
It is amazing the things people say when they are in opposition. Yet, when they were in government, the same things that were happening they never opened their mouth on. Davis needs to please sit down and shut up. oral authority is what he does not have the right to speak on.
