TOURISM MUST OPEN
The Minister of Tourism Dionisio D’Aguilar, the FNM’s favourite motor mouth, was delivered yet another blow over the past week when his best laid plans for opening up the tourism sector seemed doomed.

THE PNP GOES DOWN IN FLAMES IN JA NOW WHAT ?

THE LEADER LEAVES THE HOSPITAL | 27 August 2020
DOES MINNIS KNOW WHAT HE IS DOING?
The question is really a rhetorical one. He has no idea what he is doing. That is plain and obvious on its face. Example, he announces that he is going to shut the whole country down for 7 days because the cases are rampant and we are all gong to die if nothing drastic happens. […]

REV KEITH RUSSELL’S PERSPECTIVE | 22 August 2020
On imagination It is obvious to most persons in this country now that this government administration is failing miserably. The only ones left who still think otherwise are those benefiting from an unholy alliance with this incompetent, callous crew; and, of course, those who have a residual amount of that conscience searing, retina contaminating red, […]

THE FNM BOOMBA FLY WON’T SIT DOWN
Poor Senator Jamal Moss was apparently stung by the public criticism from this column at being called a boomba fly for the FNM.

FROM THE DESK OF GILBERT MORRIS…END THE LOCKDOWNS
Please no more lockdowns! This is unsustainable! We have a bad habit in this region – which is a bad habit in politics in general – in that we constantly make excuses for failure.

A Message From The Anglican Bishop For Covid Times
THE SCUMBAG AT THE MINISTRY OF WORKS IS AT IT AGAIN
Obviously at the Ministry of Works, the tail wags the dog. There is a particular fellow who works there in a senior contracted position.
