So let’s get this right. The PLP according to the FNM’s first Budget Statement delivered by their man Peter on Wednesday 31st May borrowed five billion dollars in 5 years. So that’s a billion a year if the math is correct. In the first week though of their reign, Mr. Turnquest, the last name of […]

LEADER OF THE OPPOSITION’S BUDGET STATEMENT
31 May 2017 The Budget statement should be an outline of the legislative measures which the Government plans to take to improve the revenue and expand the economy not a forum for political bashing and biased posturing. The Government must get on with the business of governing. It is also shocking that the FNM government […]

Does Peter Turnquest Know What He’s Talking About?
U S Decision On Climate Change Stupid On Its Face
The 2nd June decision on climate change and pulling out of the Paris Accords on Climate Change by Donald Trump, the President of the United States, demonstrates how morally bankrupt the United States is under its present leadership. The world requires leadership from that country. Instead it gets insular actions, self-centred immoral conduct and the […]
Caricom Should Speak UP. Bahamas Should Not Be Wobbly
(The statement issued below by Caricom at the OAS meeting called to deal with the situation in Venezuela falls short of the mark. It is mealy mouthed and ineffective. It is time to take stronger action on Venezuela. The situation within the country is deplorable and the government there must be told in no uncertain […]
LPIA Not Up To Scratch
Four hundred million dollars of the hard earned cash of the Bahamian people were invested in the brand new airport of the Commonwealth of The Bahamas known as the Lynden Pindling International Airport.

KB Says He Knows A Corrupt Government But Does He?
In one of the fast- tongued responses on Facebook, the voluble musician and misguided campaigner Kirk Bodie, aka KB, no doubt fresh with his Save The Bays money, the organization that corruptly influenced the election of the FNM government, said that he knows a corrupt government when he sees one. The problem is the present […]
Fox Hill Workers To Be Fired?
In its campaign to get at the PLP, the FNM has begun governing with a vengeance. They gave Elcott Coleby, the Deputy Director of Bahamas Information Services his walking papers last week. Then the rumours started going around about all the little people who have road side contracts that they are going to take away […]
Reece Chipman’s Name All Mixed Up In Phoney Video
Sometime during the evening of Thursday 1 June, a video started circulating with two men “inflagrante delicato”, full frontal nudity and in the middle of doing it to one another. People swore it was the member for Centreville, newly elected. If that had been the case, that would have been shocking that someone could be […]
PLPs Do Something Stop Talking
The PLP ought to be congratulated for the turnout at the Labour Day parade on 2nd June in Nassau. There was gold as far as the eye could see. The party needs to remember that 60,000 people voted for the PLP. The PLP’s leaders have to speak up for them. The PLP’s young people who […]

Nothing For Freeport In The Budget But Talk
The pictures we show are the pictures of Freeport as it now stands. Hurricane damage on the tourism infrastructure still not repaired. Seven months have gone by since Hurricane Matthew. The Budget Statement by the FNM on 31 May gave no hope to Freeport. There are five FNMs elected to Freeport seats. The only one […]

Mitchell Appears On Jones And Co 29 May
Is Dion Foulkes Really Serious?
The FNM likes to take credit for things they did not invent and are masters at rewriting history. You would think from this headline that this policy is something brand new but it isn’t. It’s a long standing policy of the PLP. The other lie that was told by the Minister is that the parade […]
