Can't understand why the idiots in government are still willing to settle for pennies on the dollar or crumbs under the table or is it that they don't have a choice because those checks have already been cashed?
That would mean the exclusion of most, if not all, of our current and more recently past crop of politicos. That plinth will remain empty until the resurrection.
Your wonderful parents have no doubt been spinning in their graves at some of the "old fashion systems of values" you've displayed, that they never taught you, with some of your more questionable lifestyle choices.
Sands has already shot himself in one foot while placing the other firmly in his mouth with his recent attacks on the government that he was so recently a part of, and a large part of the issues he's now trying to chastise them for. Closed mout catch no fly nor foot!
@clamshell & porcupine, right on the mark, all they've done is hang a huge bullseye on this previously undiscovered breeding ground. In full agreement that the government should (A) immediately declare this area a no-take zone with penalties with teeth for any violation, and (B) a complete ban on the export of conch meat. This should also provide some incentive for the government and RBDF to complete the work on the base funded by sandyhook or was all that money "diverted" to some other "worthy" cause? There is still money to be made from the export of conch shell for jewelry and other products but, again, this could also become a new cottage industry in the Bahamas if it was to be encouraged and some funding was provided for start-up entrepreneurs, lord knows we piss away money on so much other foolishness.
@Mandela, your version of history as taught in our country is showing, the transatlantic trade in African slaves to the Caribbean began in 1662 or 170 years after Columbus passed this way. He may have done many despicable things during his time but the enslavement and transatlantic transportation of black peoples wasn’t one of them.
#Mr Ferguson also reiterated his long-standing call for The Bahamas to mandate that all employers, workers and the Government contribute to the creation of an emergency fund that would ensure future COVID-19 type events will not "be so severe and damaging to the economy". Notice that Ferguson and the Union are conspicuously absent from the list of donors to the emergency fund. I say, you pay! Man, carry your ass!
