In the latest rounds of attacks on the organizer of “We March Bahamas”, we have one of the last persons in the entire Commonwealth of The Bahamas that should attesting to anyone’s mental state, doing just that.

“Henfield ‘needs head examined’ – PLP chairman blasts march organizer for gang leader’s claim.” The Tribune

Excerpt from this article; “Progressive Liberal Party Chairman Bradley Roberts yesterday suggested that We March Bahamas lead organizer Ranard Henfield ‘get his head examined’ for insinuating that the PLP allegedly recruited gang leaders to ‘convince the streets’ to march with the governing party on Majority Rule Day instead of the activist group.

In an interview with The Tribune, Mr. Roberts also implied that the PLP will not accept lead organizer Ranard Henfield’s invitation for the two groups to march together for a ‘common loftier goal.”

While Mr. Bradley Roberts, Chairman of the Progressive Liberal Party (PLP) goes on to berate Mr. Henfield for several issues one thing is certain; he is not interested in marching along with a fellow Bahamian ‘for a common loftier goal’; that has been thrown out of the window, probably with The Mace, the baby and the bathwater.

One of the things that Mr. Roberts thrashes Henfield for is the allegation of the Progressive Liberal Party’s affiliation with gangs or it members wherein he [Henfield] states, “he was approached by two gang leaders the day before who allegedly told him they were asked to get persons to march with the PLP instead of We March Bahamas.”   Here Mr. Roberts probably is thinking that Henfield needs to get his head examined, probably because this storyline is beginning to follow the “Toggie and Bobo” script and it indeed very odd, curious and interesting that these persons seem to ‘pop out of the woodwork’ when the PLP is involved.

Then Mr. Roberts goes on to intimate that Mr. Henfield just may not be totally truthful about the request to join forces; “However when contacted for, Mr. Roberts said he never received a letter from Mr. Henfield and explained that there were ‘no changes’ in the PLP’s original plan to march.”  Far be it from me to imply that Mr. Roberts is being untruthful…..I cannot even say that with a straight face, as I have once told Mr. Bradley Roberts before that if he were to tell me that it was raining and he and I were standing in the front of a shop front, I would still go outside and check for myself just because it was he that was telling me that it was raining.  Really Mr. Roberts, given the track record of your party over the past four plus years, you now stand before the country and suggest that someone else may not be telling the truth and that they need to get their ‘head examined’?

As the Progressive Liberal Party (PLP) government attempts to convince the people that it’s goal is to build a ‘Stronger Bahamas’, it is clear that the chairman of the party has not received this memo, probably the same place that Henfield letter is or where Minister Fitzgerald got the emails or ‘misplaced’ the Rubis report for over a year, Mr. Henfield writes “his group is certain Mr. Roberts would put ‘country over party politics’; my brother, you have challenged them to be transparent and accountable; you have started a ‘war’.

The Progressive Liberal Party fails for one reason, it is their nature.
