It was most remarkable.  A letter was released in the public domain signed by the Minister of Education Jeff Lloyd and addressed to Elma Garraway, the  Chair of the National Advisory Council on Education to say that he will no longer be speaking to Belinda Wilson, the President of the Bahamas Union Of Teachers, until she issues an irrevocable letter of apology to him.  The  Minister claimed that in various exchanges and particularly one on What’s App, the Union President was disrespectful.  In one exchange she said in response to him: “Fuck y’all”.  The Tribune carried a headline with the

Pastor Hugh Roach, perhaps the most iconic Seventh Day Adventist Pastor, went to his grave in an ignominious way courtesy of the Bahamas Government and Hubert Minnis.  There is no secret that Pastor Roach was a PLP through and through.  His church members asked that the exception be granted to hold a church service and not a graveside service for him.

He has been silent, the so called human rights activist, about the fact that Bahamians have been abused for six months by the FNM government using Covid 19 as  an excuse, but suddenly Fred Smith finds the zeal to help illegal squatters, claiming that it’s a human right’s issue.  The only human rights

There was a public report and complaint from unnamed members of the Prison Department that there is a risk of Covid in the prison that the Government was not taking seriously. The next day the Commissioner of the Prison castigated the officers for violating the rules that said that the prison’s business should not be taken to outsiders. He said that there were no Covid cases in the prison. He must have forgotten to tell the Minister the line they were supposed to take; on Friday 25 September 2020, the Minister for the Prison Marvin Dames said just the opposite.
