Nobody outside of The Bahamas cares about Mitchell or Minnis enough for the result on tourism that you suggest, to become a reality.

Govt sends diplomatic note over Minnis airline comments
Seriously, Fred should grow up. He acted like a spoiled child by sending the diplomatic note. All he has now done is call attention to the idiotic and infantile business. Dr. Minnis called it right -- the PLP government is lost. Maybe his choice of analogy was lacking sensitivity, but it certainly isn't wrong.
Pity Fred didn't send out a diplomatic note after Leslie Miller's dangerously backward comments making light of the abuse of women in this country. Then the world would truly know how backward we are in proecting women in this country.

Bernard unfortunately young educated non politically connected Bahamians have few choices, first start your own business which is almost impossible without $$$, or leave to go to a more merit based society.

Brenard, you are a young Bahamian. You betta learn fast how the old regime do things. The ordinary Bahamain will be the last to know whats going on.
As far as the new HS diploma is concerned, thats almost already cast in stone......... a day late and a dollar short.............. just like VAT, gambling and women's rights referanda

PM 'would not put up murder signs'
He's saying there has been a systematic reduction with 1 less murder, while rape and breaking and entering are both on the rise? They have also never gotten to the bottom of the misreported crime stats. What happened to all of those stabbed and shot people at the hospital that were never accounted for in the police statistics.
Crime is most certainly not being reduced.

Okay PM got it: when FNM is in power the crime it totally the government's fault and responsibility. When the PLP are in power crime is everyone else's responsibility.

PM 'would not put up murder signs'
Perry Christie said yesterday he does not regret the “murder” billboards his administration posted prior to the 2012 general election but if he had the choice to do it again, he wouldn’t.
Nonsensical, saying I wouldn't do it again means I regret "something" about what I did.
While acknowledging that the level of crime is still unacceptable and “too high”, Dr Nottage said he is satisfied with the work the government and the police have done this far.
He better make sure PGC heard him because PGC's last statement was he wasn't going to have his legacy tied to the leadership of the police force
In New Providence there has been one less murder than there was last year and I single out murders because murders create concern among the population. It is something that we are most concerned about and if we are able to reduce the amount of murders per year I think that will be a tremendous relief to the average person in our country,” he said.
What an absolutely dumb statement to make over 1 murder. Noboody's fears about the murder count have been allayed, people are crying out daily about the crime...what if while you were speaking three murders were committed pushing the rate higher than last year?

Deputy PM: Media delight in nation's discontent
The PLP & FNM politicians have major roles in fueling this discontent & have received the rewards of keeping the masses ignorant & government dependant. Ignorant uneducated people are easy to control, so major investment was never made in ensuring all Bahamian Children received proper education. Nor was serious measures put in place to deal with issues of family planning or illegal immigration. They all made deals with foreign investors or criminals so there families prospered @ the expense of the nation. What we see on the street is the result of a history of selfish criminal minded politicians, so i'm shocked at his comments but I should not be. He has told so many lies & manipulated so many that he has become delusion, therefore in his head he believes he and his colleagues are victims. We now have to contend with the dysfunction that originates from corruption, bad financial decisions, poor education, drugs, family planning, illegal immigration etc. Stop bitching u made your money of the dysfunctional environment but what u never figured was that in the future crime would be at your door step.

You have failed. Plain and simple. You, your cabinet colleagues, your fiscal restraint policies, your crime initiatives, urban renewal, mortgage relief, webshops, constitutional reform, training agency, thousands of dead trees at agricultural institute, money missing from BOB. money missing from PHA, cost overruns everywhere, men previously removed for (alleged) embezzling appointed to chief positions, tax, phone, cabinet. You have failed us all.

Gibson threat in contract row
This is a joke of a government. Is he really trying to blackmail the former government into going along with the current governments corruption and stating it publicly?
If he knows where these 'bodies are buried' then why hasn't he let the police know, and why aren't people going to jail for corruption.
The government always has an excuse that the people before them did it. So what, the government before was corrupt and so is the current one. One does not excuse the other. We have to hold these politicians accountable. They are taking our money and wasting it, lining their pockets, lining their friends pockets, while so many are in need of social programs and better education. This is really a joke.

I really like the part where he says the officer told him he was stupid because he drove off after the first gunshot ..."you see people shooting at you and you eehn stop to ask them why?"

Multiple flaws in this situation. 1). No legal reason has been presented to engage Mr. Darling, if there was one he would have been arrested for or charged with something. 2). Firing weapon at a moving target in a highly populated City, which leaves the question are all of those rounds accounted for? 3). What legal grounds was there to fire upon this vehicle, what threat did this person pose to the public or the Officers, what exigent circumstances existed, none as I see it. 4) The use of deadly force is only authorized to protect life or to stop a serious threat, can someone articulate what was the threat here. 5). Did any of the officers attempt to notify a marked police unit to initiate a traffic stop if the vehicle was suspicious? The fact that this man had to come to the media is a representation of the level of cover up that goes on with the RBPF, and the fear for retaliation. Bahamian citizens are trapped between a goane squad Police force mentality and the criminals themselves. Those officers who did not report this incident to the proper authority are just as guilty as the plain cloths officers firing the shots. I am still waiting for some legitimate reason that they can give for the use of deadly force on a moving target, in a populated area without any threat.. Some of these guys cannot shot 80% on a stationary target without pressure so shooting at moving things in a populated area thank God nobody was killed because of these morons posing a Cops.

Nobody is sitting around the world giving a sh-t about Mitchell, Minnis, PLP, fnm or Bahamian politics. All they care about is whether the country is safe & beautiful if they visit.
