True

50 years after independence this country is worst off. So politicians though a party to celebrate changing the white massa for the black massa.

They tried. The had it voted in Parliament. The PLP after supporting it in Parliament came out and took the referendum and played politics with it.

Again, dialogue.

If you seek to try throw disparaging remarks, then it becomes clear you are deflecting and have no actual proof to back up what you are saying.

We only do change when we can produce the evidence and then speak truth to power.

The government cannot do anything for West End and East End, and it have the heart to talk about Freeport? These dudes just completely looney-tooney.

Rather than us throwing aspersions, let us see if we can have real dialogue that pushes change.

You claim Symonette to be despicable in calling it irregluar. What is the law that we can point to to show what Bell did was illegal and not irregular?

I believe Bell is totally wrong, but let's see if we can bring out the illegal, and then have a ground swell to ensure this act is taken seriously

You cannot be serious with this comment. You have to be making an April Fool's joke.

Didn't the PM boast about the fact that there were no new taxes in the budget? Guess this the voodoo math on this one that was missed.

Larger than the ones in Grand Bahama as well.

And how many people rushing to Andros to build? And this joker talking about acre and half sized residential lots?

The larger question though is where is the listing for all this crown land being leased. Who have they been leased to? For what purpose have they been released? Are they politically connected individuals?

What does never really materialised really mean? Does that means some thing did happen in the partnership?

I am not making a comparison with anyone else. I am just speaking to the present one. And he is incompetent, which is my viewpoint, as every time he opens his mouth you just shake your head.

I can only go on what is presented to be by him.
