Why?

Government needs to stop this foolishness of using tax payer money to fly these people home. If you make the choice to leave home to go to a school outside the country, then you need to be able to ay to get out when the time comes. That is called taking responsibility.

This parent needs their head checked. This is not the responsibility of the government.

My child was in Florida when a hurricane was about to pass through. I went online, purchased a ticket for her, and brought her home. That is my responsibility and not the government.

Do you realize that Colorado thought the same thing? Now with other states having their own industry people stop traveling and stayed in their own state.

Why would Floridians travel to GB when they can do it right in Florida?

Pipe dream?

You are not serious right?

If the owner is compliant, all the goon squad has to do is check the records at the relevant government offices.

This is intimidation.

But it easy not to see the issue, until they do it to you.

This has nothing to do with enforcement. This is intimidation.

IF the business was not ib compliance why not go to court and shut it down?

Further, the nonsensical response was that they checking for compliance. That is ridiculous. Every government entity has records. All they had to do was check their records.

Since when do we have goon squads with guns going around to check for compliance? This is gestapo tactics.

Absolutely,

You can have teh intimidation unit go into CBS Bahamas with guns, and yet that same unit will never go down Cowpen Road whee they are lined up from just after 6:00 in the morning, everyday.

What make it worst, is that the court and the police station are in the same yard, facing each other.

So are all the foreign consultants not going to be hired anymore?

Guess there is a mixed message between the tongue and teeth.

So a Maritime Task Force for Revenue is on land? And why do they need the police and defense force for revenue collection? Is that their role?

And to make matters worst, this clearly shows the incompetence of the government. Do these people on the taskforce not have these records in their offices? They do not have computers that recorded what businesses turned in what? They have to walk into a business to determine if it is compliant?

This reeks of gestapo style aggression towards businesses.

This is terrible should these alleged facts be proven true.

It would mean that there needs to be serious house cleaning in the Ministry of Finance.
