You’d be wise to read the history of the Transatlantic Slave Trade. No African nation could ever hope to emulate the numbers enslaved by the English, Portuguese and Dutch. 12.5 million Africans (approx 10 million survived the voyages) were shipped west with the English and Portuguese accounting for 7 out of 10 of those voyages. The presence of the Dutch Indies Companies, the East India Co and the Portuguese drove the increased demand from African slavers. And that’s just the Western Hemisphere. Your argument is an old one that has never stood the test of time or history.
So now homeowners must rely on this new program’s hand picked contractors to supply the labour and bulk materials to rebuild their shelter from storms? Should call this fund what it really is ‘Another Alex Storr Scam.’
Really? You inferred this from Dr. Sands’ remarks taking Davis to task for asking Bahamian to do as I say and not as I do? Promise to lower VAT by 2% all the while secretly planning to raise it on much needed commodities despite a crippling pandemic and the worst inflation in decades?
Davis and his crew of miscreants’ tactics are perfectly aligned with Augustus and the other Roman Emperors who placated and distracted the mob with games and cheap food and wine. Which of course came right right out of their mouths/taxes!
You’re joking of course?! The Bahamas with this “Brave” Davis at its head has become an global embarrassment, the poster child of corruption and malfeasance.
I have to wonder where Ms Glover-Rolle gained such confidence in the ability of the police or the judicial system to bring murderers to justice given the woeful record of both? Platitudes do not change a society steeped in lawlessness from the top down.
One must foolish indeed to think folks believe such woodenheaded nonsense. Healthcare workers in hospitals, from the surgical theater to the labs etc do their jobs using protocols that include masks in their PPEs. Whose seen them dropping like flys for lack of oxygen?? Our workers are run off their feet, are ready to or have quit because this pandemic here, all over the world what they’ve been warning us for years. Our gov’ts have been defunding healthcare cutting bed numbers, cutting staff and patient services for years, all the while ignoring the inevitable reckoning they knew was coming. Lives would be lost when those chickens headed home.
Who'd vote for a corrupt party, and their corpulent crowned head sleek with the grease from palming gov't coffers for $250 a week? In what altered reality is this a livable wage in the Bahamas?
Who waits until after an oil spill to undertake due diligence, start vetting their contractor for insurance? All the while reminding us how many times (?) this is a third party contractor they were forced to hire. And who believes that a shipping company utilizing unregistered ships would carry insurance? And since this is 'any chance to make a buck' Slippery Frankie he likely owns the company.
It should be BPL assuring Bahamians as we know the worth of his pledges of "taking responsibility". It should be BPL and the gov't providing Bahamians with Sun Oil's mandatory contingency plan, their insurance vetted for spill remediation that any responsible utility demands before awarding contracts This void speaks volumes. And these folks want to drill for oil?
