@tribanon:
I have to agree with you on this; Minister Sweeting if my business or house burns down is your government going to pay to rebuild them?
It’s the same Pandora’s box that was opened when “our” governments decided to rebuild private homes destroyed by hurricanes, only they were sort of selective about whose homes got rebuilt.
Well, that genie done out da bottle, yinna could look forward to plenty claims coming yinna way in da future and ya political ass is grass if yinnas don’t come through!

Speaking of disclosures, have they all, Davis included, finally filed their disclosures as required by the law or are we to be subjected to more of Windy Clints psycho babble?

The racist and radical Reverend would like to have his cake and eat it.
He writes about all of the white foreign people who have exploited ignorant Bahamians in one form or another and why we should jump on the history and statue destroying bandwagon.
Paradoxically, the man he and many others hold in veneration, Lynden Pindling, was one of the the major players in The Bahamas descent into the pit of the drug hell, not all of us have forgotten a nation for sale.
So Reverend, if you’re going to be tearing down statues of those individuals whose conduct contributed to the many ills that now face us as a country start with your idols’,you know the one with the feet of clay.

@tribanon,
I see you’ve reverted to type, smelling shit in a 🌹, you’ve obviously never met the gentleman and gentleman he is!

The cows may come and the cows may go but the bull in this place goes on forever.
Typical of our pompous, entitled politicians, Rules for thee, but not for me!

@john,
People like you and Obie Ferguson are always hollering about how the government must force foreign investors and the private sector to pay the “workers” higher salaries, but higher salaries only come with higher qualifications and productivity something that is completely alien to the average Bahamian.
You get paid according to what your employer thinks you’re worth, not what you or your union thinks.

What a jackass!
The only people who could expect a livable wage in dees times is da set who riding da gubment gravy train.

Put Vaughn up next to Clint and see who gets the prize for verbosity and Talking Suit of The Year.

The "simple oversight" that the governments appointed hot air producing orrifice refers too reoccurs with regularity every five years, a clear indication of how conveniently myopic and disingenuous our government can be when it suits them.

A noble sentiment, but good luck with that.

The predominant culture in the Bahamas today, particularly in Nassau, is Thug Culture, where criminal habits, drug peddling, gambling, promiscuity and other poor life choice habits are revered and regularly practiced.

Bahamian music, except in some of the family islands, has become a fond memory replaced by profanity laced noise.

Yes, lets put up a few more sculptures and murals to be destroyed, defaced or just plain neglected like so many others of our historic building and monuments. Anyone looked at our forts or the state of the cannons outside Government House or on West Bay street recently? National Pride at its best prominently on display.

Kite-flying, ring play, shooting marbles, spinning tops, playing hopscotch and other games Bahamians have played for years have now been replaced with school stabbings, neighborhood warfare, knifings and shootings raping and teifing.

When the modern history of the Bahamas is written it will be titled Paradise Lost.

Yes, we have much to celebrate and to rejoice in the cultural uniqueness of our people.
