There is a saying that goes if you have nothing good to say then say nothing at all, then there is the adage; “It is better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak out and remove all doubt”; I do not know where to place Mr. Bradley Roberts, Chairman of the Progressive Liberal Party (PLP) today, as he needlessly attacks the leader of the Gate Keepers, Pastor Jeremiah Duncombe.

“Roberts tells Duncombe stick to religion” – The Nassau Guardian

Excerpt from this article; “After leader of the Gatekeepers Pastor, Pastor Jeremiah Duncombe, confirmed that his group was in talks with Official Opposition Leader Loretta Butler-Turner with a view to forming a coalition, Progressive Liberal Party (PLP) Chairman Bradley Roberts suggested Duncombe ‘stick to religion’ rather than venture into politics.

‘Pastor Duncombe needs to stick to what he knows best and that is religion.’ Roberts said when he was contacted for comment yesterday.’

‘This is not his field.  Not at all”

I keep cautioning our politicians that sometime when someone puts a microphone in your face or as in this case calls you for comment; the best comment is ‘no comment’ but it would seem that Mr. Roberts did not get his memo.

I take issue with Mr. Roberts brash remark to Pastor Duncombe not for the fact of who he talking to and the brash manner  in which Mr. Roberts chooses to address someone on a subject that is basically none of his business but the comments amuse me and I do find them absolutely amazing seeing as whom they are coming from and the company that that he keeps.

I would strongly advise Mr. Roberts’ that these very same words that he directs at the leader of the Gatekeepers, he should sit down and have a serious talk with Prime Minister Perry Christie about, because whereas he may have handled the running of the Progressive Liberal Party organization fairly well; leaving must to be asked of and desired of this political organization; as leader of the country, The Commonwealth of The Bahamas, he [Prime Minister] Perry Christie really needs ‘to stick with what he knows best’, whatever that may be.

Like I said it is quite amusing and absolutely amazing

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