My Morning Paper – February 20, 2017 – Shameless Attack

I find it beyond difficult to find the exact words to describe the Progressive Liberal Party (PLP) under the leadership of the Hon. Philip ‘Brave’ Davis.  The idiocy of his statements makes one cringe in despair, as we see an “intelligent” individual display the intellect of a pure idiot.  This may seem a bit harsh but it is all that I can seem to muster at this point as I attempt to be as diplomatic as possible about his statements since becoming the leader of that ‘great’ political organization and if they [the PLP] are to be a force to reckon with or just an organization to make a valuable contribution to the progress of The Bahamas in the future, they simply cannot do it with the present party leader at the helm.

“Davis critical of labor initiative, but Foulkes says govt. won’t be distracted” – The Nassau Guardian

Excerpt from this article; “Opposition Leader Philip Brave Davis yesterday branded as a shameless public relations exercise a job registration event hosted by the Department of Labor in Grand Bahama on Saturday.

However, Minister of Labor Dion Foulkes said thousands of Bahamians remain jobless as a result of the PLP’s shameless mismanagement in government, and the Minnis administration is preparing Grand Bahama for many jobs that will become available.

Foulkes said the ‘Labor On the Blocks’ initiative has led to 800 jobs for Bahamians on New Providence and a ‘number’ of Grand Bahama residents were hired on the spot on Saturday.

The minister said that about 1,300 job seekers were added to the department’s labor database on Grand Bahama as a result of Saturday’s event.

‘The database is most important as significant number of job opportunities are set for Grand Bahama in the near future,’ Foulkes said.”

Now it would appear that job creation by the Free National Movement (FNM) government is nothing more than a “shameless public relations exercise”, even after 800 plus persons gained employment which, I guess, cannot compare to the party-type atmosphere of the Progressive Liberal Party’s version of job creation, also known as Junkanoo-Carnival; which took millions out of the country’s coffers only to produce several hundred short term jobs; if that, short terms jobs which produced a very minuscule or very limited boost to the economy, if any at all, this is the very definition of “shameless”.

It would appear that the opposition Progressive Liberal Party (PLP) does not know what to say or do as the government seems to be actually delivering on its promises and the only thing that they [the PLP] an do at this point, to their own determent, is to pick at very little things and attempt to make them issues but as I have said before it seems as if no one is actually listening.

The Progressive Liberal Party continues to fail for one reason, it is within their nature.
