Silence over referendum is broken

Please help me here....the electorate resoundingly defeats the referendum, and says a big NO as loud and clear as it can, but the PM will not act on that choice of the people ? Is he next going to say that we got it wrong !!! Close down what has been deemed by the people to be an illegal activity, or expect the worst at the next election (or will you allow the Courts to overturn that decision as well)

Not necessarily disappointed, but I can tell you I sure as heck was not surprised...the blind leading the blind, the populace are way more stupid then people give them credit for in believing anything the PLP has to say or promise. Baffle them with bull$#!* and they will vote you in.

humming "Down to the banana republic" .. This makes Fred Mitchell and his department look like a bunch of parochial idiots in front of the world.

Absolutely disgraceful. Do I feel the person could have or should have been questioned, by all means, but do it a bit more tactfully, especially when in the end you did not have all the facts and made yourself, and the country for that matter look like idiots. Willing to bet the fired employee has a friend or family member in Immigration that got that swung. Sad when people have to resort to such childish behaviour.

Are these Gestapo tactics really necessary? Couldn't this have been done in the HR office of Atlantis behind closed doors? Definitely agree that this was retaliation for recently fired employees. Would love to why they were fired.

Oh my goodness!! How disgraceful! There is a protocol for everything. These are the same police who won't go in and raid illegal activities in the number houses, the same ones who don't go into the slums, but go to a place of business of a person who had a applied for a permit? These people need to be properly TRAINED!!! How much sense does it require for you to at least know that an appeal is possible and that it status should be simply checked.

Oh and Mr. Mitchell, please let me know what Bahamian you know can train a sea lion?

A Rogue Nation by any other name. The tourists can go home now and tell all of their friends how the Bahamian Gestapo shut down their show. And when Atlantis closes up shop, I hope Freddy can pick up the new employment slack. Ever see a Bahamian working on a cruise ship ? Ever wonder why they (cruise ships) are so popular today. Bahamians need to rub the stardust out of their eyes before they go blind. And YES, I am a Bahamian too.

I don't think anyone would be upset over the department doing its job. However the facts should be checked first. Also doing your job includes all illegal immigrants. So let them go to the so called "shanty towns" and do what they did to Atlantis.

May God help the Bahamas when foreign investors decide to cut their losses and leave without notices. They do not have to come the BAHAMAS to build a mega resort or open up an offshore bank, they could go elsewhere and do that. I wonder what this anti-foreign government would do since wealthy Bahamians do not create jobs for poor to middle class Bahamians.

@SP -- true bahamians will soon be eating pigeons and coconuts again. You do not scare tourists away, which puts bread and butter on the table of 75% of Bahamians. You may be behind Mr. Mitchell, but it would be ill advised to be in the reciprocal situation.

@Stapedius -- unfortunately there is nothing else except tourism. The entire focus is to attract direct foreign investment in creating mega resorts. With little else in the way of employment for a burgeoning, unskilled population, there is no other hope but tourism. If there were some long term planning in economic diversification, there would be hope. However the only way to get elected in this country is by short term promises that counter the long term common good. Can you imagine a political party saying "We have a recover plan but it will take 10 years and millions of dollars. We have to retrain a majority of the population, and until then, there will be nothing but blood, sweat and tears?". Another party would come along and say "I will pay your rent for month, give you a ham, turkey and tee shirt, and free booze at the constituency office if you wote for me." Who do you think will win?

I have read all your paragraphs. However would not you agree that many things in our country happen just to put on a show? Just to show that things are workingwhen in fact they are not? Why the so called "shanty towns" are not raided?
