Wishful thinking ...... Rich imperial countries use "divide & conquer" as their main weapon against poor neo-colonial countries. Case in point is Ukraine. Imagine 242.

Sadly, based on our USA dependent economy, eating habits and genes very little will change

It's a valid query. Why are y'all so defensive???

So, less than 10 years ago, the Govt spent $250million on RBDF upgrades. We are not sure whether that was fully completed and that we are getting value for money from that.
Now RBDF is asking for another $100 million?

Another blackeye on Jobeth.

What is the purpose of having this contracted worker there????

Cayman is part of the UK. Not a country

We don't need any more Police or Defence Force officers .......... what we need is less political interference and unnecessary promotions to senior ranks.

Too many chiefs and too few indians in both organizations .......... this is why both seem to be dysfunctional and not efficient or effective at this time.

And it doesn't help that the citizens either do not trust or cooperate with them.

The Bahamas can resolve this matter very easily ............ Tax these foreigners just as their country of origin does OR MORE and watch how quickly the EU would leave us alone.

The EU is jealous that we put ourselves out there as a "tax haven" ......... and we are stupid because we continue to live in the past and not make money off these filthy rich people who wish to bank in The Bahamas. Why continue taking the harrassment of the EU for free????

**However, Tribune Business uncovered evidence showing The Bahamas was warned on December 13, 2021, about the EU’s concerns over its “economic substance” and tax reporting regime. The Government responded with three letters in six weeks, all signed by the Prime Minister, promising Brussels this nation would address these issues - all of which involve technical implementation matters rather than policy - within the required deadline.**

Post the communications between the PM and the EU.

Then show us what and where the technical upgrades were done.

That is transparency & accountability.

Calling the EU "black country haters" doesn't fly with the truth of the situation.

The issue of staffing our schools in Abaco is not about blaming the Haitians ....... Except that 80% of the public school students are Haitian. Go figger.
