Don’t panic - EU’s ban won’t last long
The EU blacklisting is just another form of neo-colonialism designed to place never ending financial constraints on national development while using human rights and tax arguments to spread their globalist ideology. They are using financial pressure to create conformity to their view of what the world should look like and yes they believe it should look like them!

As usual, people here just do not get it.
Why has the EU blacklisted the Bahamas? Because of Brexit. The UK is leaving and now the main user of the Bahamas as a tax shelter (the UK) is no longer in the EU. The remaining EU nations have tax shelters of their own: Luxembourg, Malta, Cyprus. They naturally want the business to go to them and to keep the money in-house, so to say. Which is normal.
Therefore, whatever we do, obstacles from the EU will keep on appearing.
Our best interest is obvious: do whatever gets us the most business from the rest of the world. Forget the EU. Their aim is to keep their business in-house. Nothing we do will ever satisfy them as it is not satisfaction they seek. It is obstructionism they want.

Well-conveyed... well-written comment. Kudos. We live in a 'white-world'. It's their way or the highway. Operating in the antithesis undermines your Agenda. Find creative...out-of-the-box ways to skin the cat without pouring 'hotbutter' up its asscrack. RealTalk!

Hope Sarkis can chase those crazy bald heads out of town. Maybe Trump will join in with him and together they can slap the stupid off EXIM Bank's face.

This is why the death penalty needs to come back. Failing that the police just needs to apprehend these criminals with lethal force 100% of the time. The courts are unable to facilitate he high volume of these cases. Public executions of offenders not only frees up the legal backlog but also cuts down on the criminal population. Can’t commit crime when you’re dead.

‘Please - answer my girl’s prayers’: Mum still waits for govt to help sick daughter
This young lady is stateless. Her mother was born here and was a Haitian until the time of her naturalization as a Bahamian citizen. Although this young lady's mother was a Haitian at the point that the young lady was born in The Bahamas, it was legally impossible for the mother to pass Haitian citizenship on to the young lady because only Haitians born on the soil of Haiti can pass on Haitian citizenship to their offspring, which the mother could not do because she was born in The Bahamas. Then, because the young lady's father, although Bahamian, was not married to her mother, he could not pass Bahamian citizenship to his daughter because our Constitution does not recognize men who father children out of wedlock. Thus, the young lady is stateless because neither of her unmarried parents could pass citizenship to her.
This young lady is not alone; her stateless situation is a common occurrence.
The Bahamas, like all other countries that are part of the United Nations, has an obligation to pass laws to deal with statelessness. We have been derelict in our duty. We can and must do better.

Your "Offshore customers" are a bunch of loser, tax-dodging idiots that flock here because we punked out, supported the Mexican Drug Cartels, and allowed the PLP and some of the FNM to use Number Houses to launder money around before and after it was created and legalized. Bunch of BS, we deserved this blacklist, and I just hope that people wake up and smell the garbage that we (Bahamians) created for ourselves.
