A political ad on social media sponsored by the opposition Progressive Liberal Party (PLP) states as fact; “Hiding behind the Emergency Orders Minnis and his FNM have funneled millions to undisclosed private accounts.” It then goes on to give a list of ways in which they claimed that Prime Minister Dr. Hubert Minnis and the Free National Movement (FNM) used the Emergency Orders to funnel these fund to these undisclosed private accounts but it ends with the statement; “This this FNM’s get rich quick pandemic.  To date there has been no evidence produced by the opposition PLP to substantiate these allegations, nothing beside speculation, supposition and propaganda to prove these libelous lies.

It would appear that speculation, supposition and propaganda have become the PLP’s new ‘truth”, so whatever you hear them say;”To tell the truth”, get ready for a full load.

While putting this ad together, the leader of the opposition was also writing to the Utilities Regulations and Competition Authority (URCA) complaining to have the Free National Movement (FNM) from running its own political ad on Cable Bahamas, which they claimed “slandered and defamed” the  leader of the opposition.

“URCA ISSUES INTERIM ORDER FOR CABLE BAHAMAS TO STOP AD AGAINST DAVIS” – The Nassau Guardian. – 20, July 2021

Excerpt from this article; “The Utilities Regulations and Competition Authority (URCA) has ordered Cable Bahamas to ‘cease and desist’ from broadcasting a political ad featuring Progressive Liberal Party (PLP) Leader Philip Brave Davis until further notice.

According to the interim order, which was signed by URCA CEO Carlton Smith on July 22, Davis issued a complaint to URCA against Cable Bahamas alledging that the ad which was ‘slanderous defames’ him was broadcast on multiple Cable TV channels since July 12.

In the 30-second video, Davis is criticized about his previous term in office and charged that ‘nothing has changed’ and that he has ‘no new ideas’.

The ad further states that the PLP’s economic plan was ‘slammed by the media’ with key points being largely recycled, unfulfilled promises.”

Davis complained that Cable Bahamas ‘failed and or refused to ‘clearly identify the as a political ad or political broadcast on behalf of a specific candidate, political party, or  other person or entity, and clearly indicate that a candidate or party authorized or paid for the political ad “

The Progressive Liberal Party (PLP) under the leadership of Philip ‘Brave’ Davis continues to show that they are nothing more than duplicitous, hypocritical cowards, so no the ad is correct on that aspect, that “nothing has changed” but this is the second complaint by the Davis led Progressive Liberal Party (PLP), the first being a complaint to the social media page Facebook, in an attempt to silence his critics.

The Brave led Progressive Liberal Party (PLP) must put on their ‘big boy pants’ and realize that if you fire a political shot  one just may be fired back.  How can you fire off a political ad on social media, laced with unsubstantiated allegations but then complain to URCA when ‘rapid fire’ is returned on Cable Bahamas?

Is it because you have exhausted your campaign funds due to poor political gamesmanship and cannot afford to run ads on Cable Bahamas?

Is this the party and two-faced way in which a Brave led PLP government will operate when they are criticized?

The PLP fails for one reason, it is their nature.
