MESSAGE OF CONDOLENCES ON THE PASSING OF FORMER UK PRIME MINISTER
Hon. Fred Mitchell
Minister of Foreign Affairs and Immigration
The Bahamas government extends condolences on the passing of Dame Margaret Thatcher, the former Prime Minister of the United Kingdom.
Our country joins the world communion in our expressions. She is remembered for her visit to The Bahamas during the Heads of Government conference for the Commonwealth that was held here in Nassau in 1985. In a landmark shift, she agreed to change her country's position with regard to the relationship with the apartheid regime in South Africa and to sign on to the Nassau Accords which led to the freedom of Nelson Mandela. This truly marks the end of an era.
Our nation marks her passing.

I totaly agree, she was a great leader who tamed the Unions and understood econmics, therfor she would understand that in this tough economy that we are in that we send an offical MESSAGE OF CONDOLENCES and not spend the money sending a dealgation to a service and put them up in a 5 star hotel and fly bussnes class on British Airways.
Afterall, we have issues here and this one trip would probably pay for 1/2 the runway lights in Mayaguana.
It's just a matter of belt tightening!
