They were "accused" based on political affiliation. For all your nonsense about being a "freethinker" you seem still stuck in a Nelson Mandela-type jail.

That you consider Joe Darville and Sam Duncombe the bastion of environmental integrity is quite comical.

Yes, we get it: you are a hopeless FNM supporter unable to see objectivity if it slapped you in your face.

**Mrs McCartney-Russell could not estimate the cost of the damages but said all stolen items would be replaced.**
Someone needs to tell the author of this amateurish article that Mrs. Russell is an educator, not an insurance adjustor. How in carnation would she (Russell) have even a clue as to estimate the cost of damages? The reporter that asked the question should be resent to first year journalism school

This is such a poorly written article - devoid of any statistics whatsoever. So, we will run to any mechanic who says that they sell a lot of tires and all of a sudden it is a crisis? Where is the evidence of the "swamped" that was claimed in this article? What is the swamped figure compared to last year? The proprietor who claims to handle 15 calls a day - how much is that compared to this time last year? last month? two years ago?
Good grief: Calsey Johnson, Ed Bethel and Rusty Bethel are all turning over in their graves at this pathetic nonsense that attempts to pass itself as journalism.

The point left you a long time ago.

Bowe is stubbornly obnoxious with this issue. He, unsurprisingly, is proposing a solution that only works well for his bank's bottom line. There is no need for the government to "come together" with banks to create a REIT, which only benefits the bank. If Mr. Bowe, and his fellow banking executives, are serious about reducing the unproductive housing assets, as he calls them, then he can simply sell them at cost (no mark-up whatsoever). This is a true win-win: a) qualified buyers can purchase a viable home at a reduced cost (without destroying their debt ratio, thus allowing families more disposable income for other productive assets); and b) the bank converts stubborn unproductive assets into liquid cash, yes at 30 or 40 cents on the dollar. Bowe, for all his piety and wit, is just like most of us - wanting the government to bail him out of a situation.
This is not a difficult solution.

Strawman argument

This is a disgrace, of course. But the MP - who was also the MP when his party was in office - really should not attempt to clutch his pearls in this situation. He is every bit as culpable as anyone else that he chooses to blame.

Exactly, Don ANthony. Frankie's message, whatever you may think of him, is very sound.
