What is it with Bahamian politicians, wannabe politicians and unionists that they can't seem to grasp the fact that private businesses first responsibility is to their shareholders.
They are in business to make money not to provide jobs or prop up corrupt politicians, governments or all for me unionists who make doing business here a nightmare.
What law in this country says that a private employer has to keep their doors open, particularly if they're losing money or being harassed by the unions, just to appease the government or the unions executive?
Those people have been made redundant and paid their severance in accordance with the law thanks to incompetent meddlers like Obie Ferguson and Shane Gibson. Greed and bully tactics will get you nowhere and in these desperate economic times half a loaf is better than none at all.
As you said Mr. Ferguson, those employees have been vindicated under the law of the land. How is your unions unemployment benefits fund looking these days? How are your unemployment numbers looking now Mr. Gibson? Those Sandals employees should be looking for you two with a barrel of hot tar and a sack of feathers.

Tal, as usual you are being your best disingenuous shit stirring self by encouraging people who should know better to shoot the messenger.
We have major social problems in this country stemming directly from unwanted and uncared for children and some of us object strongly for being taxed to pay for all them single mothers bad sexual habits.Why should we pay for your plenty children when you in the webshhop spinning wid dey lunch money?
If ya can't keep ya leg together at least make ya man wear a rain coat or take some pills yaself. Palacious and Lightbourne might not know how much the government allocates to single mothers in social programs but we sure know how much is pissed away or tief at PHA every year which we pay for now and get nothing from.

I hope the Sandals employees will feel vindicated when Butch Stuart finally says I've had enough of this bull s...t, just close the place and lets move on.
Greedy union leaders have over the years caused the Bahamas to be slowly squeezed out of the tourism market with their ever increasing demands for more more more while their members increasingly deliver less and less.
Astronomical overheads, small profits, tiefin employees, anal union leaders,who the hell in their right mind would want to be a hotelier in this country?

“What I find ironic is that the member’s statement came soon after the gender equality referendum in the Bahamas,” she said.
What I find ironic is that she can complain about inequality after women overwhelmingly rejected for the second time the opportunity to make themselves equal.Seems to me that the majority of Bahamian women already consider themselves inferior and are obviously content to remain that way.

Fred Mitchell said “rich foreigners” funneling millions of dollars into a law firm “to get a judge” to “agree” with their arguments.
I challenge Dread Fred to repeat these remarks outside of the "hallowed halls" of parliament!
The plywood cot and slop bucket will waiting for your sorry ass.

How about you take the 200million a year you piss away at PHA from their budget and use it to jump start NHI. If you accounted for just a little bit of that money wasted every year we wouldn't need additional funding or taxes to pay for NHI.

And how bout you brudda SP, who you for and where dey from? My bet is Africa by way of Haiti, bey ya'll is hate ya black bredren more than you is hate whitey dem. SP fa we nex one an only indigenous PM an asshole of the year award, ya got my vote.

Big nose Tommy Tucker singing for he supper, maybe if I talk nice bout him cool PC ga pay muh fine.

SP, you need to get ya head out ya ass. Black people bin large an in charge here for the last 45 years so when did all these white folks smuggle all these hyshins into the country under the nose of our good police an defense force? These negros we got runnin things now could give whitey lessons on how to keep black people down. If you could find a more submissive set a people than Bahamians anywhere in the world please lt me know.

"non-profit organisation Bahamas Women’s Watch (BWW) said Mr Lightbourn’s proposed policy “highlights an absolute disrespect and contempt for women’s rights” and serves “to explain the lack of advancement on core women’s empowerment issues” in the country."

Didn't these same sanctimonious women Highlight their disrespect and contempt for themselves by refusing to vote a second time for their own self empowerment and advancement in the recent referendum????
I mussy missing something here...................
