For once - after all your bloviating - you have a point. Joe Darville and Eric Carey - whom you defended when I trashed him in another post - are just mouthpieces for hire, available to anyone that can pay their price and provide them with any hope of relevancy.

Actually, it would not have. One of the exemptions prescribed in the FOIA was that of government business (my words). So, this did not have to be disclosed.

**"Not too long after the fanfare of those high profile celebrations, FTX was bankrupt, the irreverent, publicity seeking, short-pants wearing CEO was in prison and millions of dollars were owed to Bahamian companies from Podoleo Street to Albany. We then discovered that the usual friends, family and other suspects were some of the prime financial beneficiaries of that debacle."**

All true, but at least have the integrity to remind everyone that all Bahamians (and foreign investors) got back their initial investment PLUS interest, some as high as 1.5 their initial investment. That was made possible by laws implemented by the current government. That doesn't fit your scatological narrative, of course - but keep ignorantly bloviating.

Sheeprunner, I hear you - the pickings are slim. But if any of those rejects run on the FNM ticket - save for, maybe, the aforementioned Johnson - the FNM will lose, badly.

Wonderful news about the insufferable Jeff Lloyd, and the rest of those miscreants.
Wells and Campbell really should go away and never return. Hopefully they don't receive a nomination. And, if they do, hopefully the people do not re-elect them. Neither has anything to offer a modern Commonwealth.
Johnson is the only one out of this motley crew that may warrant a second look.

Man, take that BAMSI nonsense and go fly a kite. The Bahamian people considered that in 2021 and overwhelmingly decided that either the BAMSI issue was not important or the FNM was such a bunch of awful, unprepared, feckless miscreants that they didn't deserve the honour of leading the country. Retire the splenetic "but what about" narrative and present Bahamians with a new plan about why the hapless FNM deserves the honour to lead the country again.

If the crux of your thesis is the irascible, racist Michael Scott, then you are even more delusional than I thought.

If you have a better proposition, we, in Grand Bahama, are all ears.

Slightly disagree with Hubert regarding the political characterisation.

Two PMs - himself included - from two different political parties brought this issue to the people via referendum. Both times the referendum were soundly defeated (Ingraham's referendum was set up to fail, and he should have known better - but that is a story for a different time).

I agree with the women's characterisation. In the main, Bahamian women do not care about this issue - for whatever reason (with both referenda, less than 50% of women voted in favour). Sure, some upper crust women (Holowesko, Sharon Wilson) and some so-called freedom fighters (the overly mean-spirited Alicia *something or other*) raise the topic. But clearly this is a niche issue, that the rank-and-file Bahamian woman doesn't care about. Not sure why. (And no, blaming husbands or the church is pedantic, childish drivel.)

He is right, however, that absent a groundswell in support, politicians will not touch this issue with a ten-foot pole.
