It seems that Progressive Liberal Party (PLP) Senator Fred Mitchell, through sheer arrogance, has come to the belief that he can fly, although many have warned him that he cannot.  One can only stand in utter amazement at the resentment that this childish, petulant and selfish man has displayed since being removed from office in May of this year.  It is indeed shameless or shameful, whichever way you wish to view it.

“Mithcell warns of tit-for-tat response to PLP arrests” – The Tribune

Excerpt from this article; “IF the Free National Movement loses the next general election, National Security Minister Marvin Dames ‘will understand what tit-for-tat mean,’ Senator Fred Mitchell has said, adding the governing party is ‘slave shaming’ the opposition Progressive Liberal Party by charging former PLP politicians in court.

Mr. Mitchell insisted the FNM is ‘setting a dangerous precedent’ in how it is now handling the political affairs of the country.

He suggested the governing party has ‘turned on its opponents and is attempting to use the state to imprison, bad mouth and create a bad image of them across the country.”

This from a man that attempted to use his parliamentary privilege to read the private emails of private citizens in The House of Assembly; he has gone mad.

It is clear that Senator Mitchell is about to jump in this attempt to fly as he rants on “Poor Marvin Dames who is the minister of national security and appears to conducting this witch hunt against the PLP from his office in Nassau went to the papers a couple of weeks ago and said he didn’t understand the notion of tit-for-tat,’ Mr. Mitchell said to the small group of supporters gathered Wednesday night in Bailey Town, Bimini during a PLP branch meeting.

‘He says because this is not tit-for-tat.  The police are actually doing their investigations and he does not understand it.”

Of course, no one understands the madness that Senator Mitchell is displaying at this time other than to realize that he has made this completely political and extremely personal.  Marvin Dames is correct, the police force has finally been given the authority to investigate any wrong doing by political figures through the formation of the Anti Corruption Unit (ACU), for Mr. Mitchell to suggest that what is going on here is political or personal is actually a dangerous precedent, as it would seek to suggest that for the police to carry out there jobs against these man, as they have done, is wrong because they are above the law.

At this point, for Senator Mitchell to suggest that this is anything more than the police doing their jobs and ‘the chips falling where they may’ is a very dangerous and reckless suggestion.  What is a truly dangerous precedent is the senator’s statement of “Well I tell you what.  I bet you (certain PLP politician’s) children understand what tit-for-tat means.  And when they lose in five years, I think Marvin Dames will understand what tit-for-tat means because if this now is the precedent for how to conduct political affairs of The Bahamas you are setting a dangerous precedent”

Seriously, the fight against corruption has become a ‘dangerous precedent’ which has been set and not the vile threats that the senator has laid out here, likening politics in The Bahamas now to a drug war between two warring cartels in Mexico?

What has actually been set are a set of standard for political figures to abide by and adhere to; a set of standards, that always existed actually, to protect the both politicians and the average citizen but not in Senator Mitchells extremely jaundiced view as he states; “…it means now every little faux pas and every exercise of judgment and every little management issue you’re involved in suddenly becomes criminal…”, now who is preaching ‘gloom and doom’?  Of course this is not so and is just a extremely biased position being taken by the senator to justify his claims of the PLP being under attack.

The Progressive Liberal Party continues to fail, because it is their nature.

This morning Candia Dames writes in The National Review of as “Aborted Apology” by the Leader of the Leader of the Opposition, the Hon. Philip ‘Brave’ Davis’ but I have two questions; one, was there meant to be an apology and two does the Progressive Liberal Party (PLP) feel that they have anything to apologize to the people of The Bahamas for?

“PM: PLP owes nation an apology – Minnis calls for cooperation from opposition” – The Nassau Guardian

Excerpt from this article; “Dr. Hubert Minnis said yesterday that Opposition Leader Philip Brave Davis’ acknowledgment that the Christie administration made mistakes and lost the trust of the people, should have been followed by an apology.

In a national address on Monday night, Davis said the Progressive Liberal Party (PLP) recognizes it made mistakes during its last term in office, which resulted in the Bahamian people sending a ‘powerful message for change’.

‘I had listened tentatively and of you make mistakes. And you know you made mistakes, I was listening for the apology,’ said Minnis, following a visit at Albany.

‘There was no such apology.’

Davis assured the PLP has reflected on and embraced this message with ‘humility’ and determination.’

He also acknowledged that the PLP lost the trust of the Bahamian people’ on too many fronts’.

However, Davis said there is still support for the PLP’s ideology, and recognition that the party has brought about transformational change in the Bahamas.”

It seems that whenever lost the Progressive Liberal Party (PLP) resorts to its record to save them but what they must realize is that while many and most do recognize and support the ideology of the Progressive Liberal Party, many and most also have come to realize that the PLP has wandered far way from these ideologies that once made it a party that is able to bring about “transformational change”, this is why they continue to fail.

Prime Minister, the Hon. Dr. Hubert Minnis, calls for cooperation from the Progressive Liberal Party, this is excepted but at this time the opposition which cannot even seem to muster the humility to apologize to the people of the country, even the Rt. Hon. Hubert Ingraham has the courage and humility to do this, seem to be on another ‘mission’ which is to win the next general election at all cost.

They [the Opposition] must realize that they do not only need to apologize for the ‘mistakes’ that they have made during their time in office but for what they continue to do as the opposition; as they set out to divide the electorate in what can only been seen as a sad and desperate effort to reach out to those that they feel had ‘deserted’ them during the last election.

 The Progressive Liberal Party in still in campaign mode and therefore has no desire to cooperate or feel sorry because as Senator Fred Mitchell put if shortly after the general election; “. . . Politics is not a crying game. It is a competition for power. Power is the only fact. They have it, we want it and need it to govern and protect the poor in this country. The rich are now in charge. Eileen Carron, Louis Bacon. Fred Smith, Sarkis Izmirlian. That is the fight now against rich and powerful monied interests,” Mr. Mitchell noted, also thanking those who voted for him in Fox Hill.

The Progressive Liberal Party continues to fail, because it is their nature.

END

In a national address to the national last night, Philip ‘Brave’ Davis, Leader of the Opposition proves that we are no longer dealing with persons that are sane and slip into insanity from time to time but rather a group of persons that are truly mad and occasionally slip into sanity, not to stay for any substantive period of time, last night was not a time of sanity.

They, the Progressive Liberal Party (PLP) now seek to convince the people of The Bahamas that suddenly they have the answers, again, to the move the country forward, as Mr. Davis suggests to Prime Minister Dr. Hubert Minnis and the Free National Movement (FNM) that “much of the groundwork has been laid out already” by the PLP to make the country successful.  I say ‘suddenly’ because during their entire tenure they continued to display a lack of vision for the country and the nation continued to fail, but only now do they claim to have a plan; utter madness.

“Davis owns up to PLP failures – ‘Serious errors lost trust’ – but he still lashes out at PM” – The Tribune

Excerpt from this article; “PROGRESSIVE Liberal Party interim Leader Philip “Brave’ Davis admitted yesterday the former government made ‘serious’ mistakes and lost the ‘trust’ of Bahamians, but offered no outright apology for the missteps of the previous Christie administration.

Instead he south to justify the former governing party’s actions saying that during its last term in office the Christie administration was always thinking of the people affected by its polices.

Despite conceding mistakes, Mr. Davis also castigated Prime Minister Dr. Hubert Minnis saying his national address least week left the Official Opposition ‘perplexed’ and offered no vision, concrete policies or credible plans for taking the country forward.”

As one sat and listened to Mr. Davis three months into a new Free National Movement administration/government which he set out to criticize for not fixing what Mr. Davis admitted that he and his Progressive Liberal Party administration ‘messed’ up in the first place, as he admitted to making “serious errors”; one would never fathom that he was actually a part of the government that brought the country to its tipping point. It was as if he were preserving a corner of his fantasy world, in which he and his party was never wrong but if indisputable reality disagreed with their delusion, then indisputable reality must be wrong.

For Opposition Leader Davis to now condemn the present administration for not moving the country forward significantly in the past three months, when he and his administration struggled to keep their heads above water, taking us down with them over a five year period and expecting for the Bahamian people to trust a word that he says after his tenure in office as Deputy Prime Minister, is as natural as him going to the top of the water tower and jumping off in beliefs that as leader of the Progressive Liberal Party now he is invincible and can fly and has accomplished something as Deputy Prime Minister, you have not and you did not, as you console yourself in the thought of [the] “PLP is still a powerful force for good.”

Yes, Mr. Davis, your party have made some “serious errors’ when it was the government, one of which was to believe that the average Bahamian was foolish enough to still follow you blindly; they are not.

END

This past week had Philip ‘Brave’ Davis, Leader of the Opposition Progressive Liberal Party (PLP) ‘advise’ Prime Minister Dr. Hubert Minnis that on his path to revenge that he should dig two graves; the irony of this statement is not only is the prime minister not on a path of revenge but the statement was made while Mr. Davis issued a subtle threat of vengeance to the prime minister of what his government would do when if they were to win the next general election. One would only assume that Mr. Davis was busy ‘digging graves’ at the time that he penned this letter to the prime minister.
He really must have, because it seems as if Senator Fred Mitchell, unaware of the ‘graves being dug’ – as usual, fell into one. In response to Prime Minister Dr. Hubert Minnis’ address to the nation this past Wednesday, Senator Mitchell comments, “What concerned me about the speech is why do they keep talking down the economy?, Mitchell asked.
This is a rich country. This is not a poor country.
But everything that comes out of their mouth is woe is me…..doom and gloom.”
The irony of is that as the senator calls the country a rich country, he fails to address the economic path that the country has been on during the past administration with high unemployment, a growing national debt, a rising fiscal deficit and four economic downgrades with the possibility on the horizon of another, but I will agree that the country is a rich one but as I admit this I would also need the senator to concede that his government mismanaged the finances of the country and put it in a very precarious position.
When Senator Mitchell says; “So every investor who is looking at will say ‘Oh, my God, we can’t go to The Bahamas, things are terrible there. It’s falling apart.
The government said it is not going to happen and so on and so forth.”
Of course, when Senator Mitchell says that investors will say; “The government said it is not going to happen”, he is being very liberal in his interpretation of what is really being said, where he borders on deception but what is more worrisome about the senator’s comments is the assumptions that he makes of others. Senator Mitchell seems to make the assumption that any investor is too inept, lazy and incompetent to do the necessary research to find out the true economic state of The Bahamas; which would be in my opinion akin to the government of Greece deciding to not tell the international community the moment they went bankrupt and carry on as business as usual hoping no one notice; this approach is not only dangerous and reckless , it is plain stupid.

What Prime Minister Dr. Hubert Minnis has actually done is lay out how things really are, openness and transparency, and begin to lay out a play to fix the problem, with the first step being a 10 percent cut in ALL government expenditure.

My Morning Paper had found that Senator Mitchell has the propensity to act as if he is the smartest person in the room, which may be the case in the Progressive Liberal Party headquarters but not nationally, and therefore treat all others as if they are beneath him intellectually, when in all actuality his ‘intelligence’ has proven to not be that much above ‘normal’; my advice to the the senator; re-evaluate the light in which you tend to see others and therefore treat others; especially those that oppose you as your day of reckoning cometh quickly.

Now while all this is going on Attorney Wayne Munroe has promised to compile a list of alleged questionable conduct by members if the Free National Movement which he promises to present to the new Anti-Corruption Unit of the Royal Bahamas Police Force (RBPF) to ‘see what happens’ and now we have the announcement of a national address by the Leader of the Opposition Progressive Party (PLP)  this Monday.  It will be interested to hear what he has to say because it seems that he and his party had little to nothing to say to the public during their 2012-2017 period of governance, now it seems that every time that they see a microphone and camera they get like a kid in a candy store with advise and criticism.

 END

I waited the official response from the opposition Progressive Liberal Party (PLP) and finally got it and they did not disappoint, as the Leader of the Opposition Philip ‘Brave’ Davis seeming to have lost all connection with reality, displayed his and his party’s grand sense of delusion.

“Austerity could trigger recession’ – ‘PLP cautions govt. after PM’s address” – The Nassau Guardian

Excerpt from this article; “Insisting that the first national address by Prime Minister Dr. Hubert Minnis shows the government has no economic growth plan for the country, Opposition Leader Philip ‘Brave’ Davis charged yesterday that  the absence of such a plan with austerity measures announced by Minnis ‘will trigger a double-dip recession.’

During his address, televised on Wednesday night, Minnis announced the government will cut the expenditure of its various ministries by 10 percent, institute a hiring freeze and not renew contracts for emoluments that exceed $100,000 a year.

Minnis also announced that the government will reduce the number of government-owned vehicles and appoint a special committee to advise on state-owned enterprises, with a view to reducing the burden on public finances.

In a statement to the press, Davis said the address underscored that ‘the FNM has no vision, no plan and no ideas for the future and sustained growth and development into a united, resilient and strong Bahamas.”

This statement by Mr. Davis is indeed a very troubling one, as he wishes to accuse the Free National Movement of not having any ideas to move the country forward, economically, while his governing Progressive Liberal Party, from 2007 to 2012, move the country downward, producing four economic downgrades in their five year reign and left many to question to this day where has all the money gone that was borrowed during their stay in power; it is clear that the Mr. Philip ‘Brave’ Dais and the Progressive Liberal Party (PLP) have no clue on how to handle the economy.  They had no clue for five years on how to cut government spending; they had no clue on economic stimulation and indeed no clue on job creation and I dare say that IF the Progressive Liberal Party had actually produced the 10,000 jobs as promised that that they claimed to have produced, then the country may not be at this point.

One point which Mr. Davis refuses to address is the simple economic fact that you cannot tax a nation into to prosperity, yet during very ‘dark’ economic times and without the necessary cutbacks his government introduced Value-Added Tax (VAT), they then went on to claim that VAT was exceeding all expectations but yet were unable to give the country a plausible accounting as to where this money was going, as our nation’s national debt and deficit continued to rise to dangerous levels.

It is clear that in his zeal to criticize Prime Minister Dr. Hubert Minnis and the Free National Movement (FNM), that Mr. Davis missed some key points of the prime ministers national address; the first being the necessary cutbacks which will not only reduce our need to borrow but also make the country look more appealing and stable to investors, along with these cost cutting measures was the commitment to aggressively address crime; which also  has been affecting the country’s image to the world.

Mr. Davis instead deflects from these key and salient issues by asserting’ “Further, how will Bahamians, ordinarily absorbed into the public service be otherwise employed?”  Here, Mr. Davis clearly articulates that his government’s job creation plan was the public sector and this is not realistic, the county cannot afford an over bloated public sector.

Yes, there is a need for job creation but it cannot be the public sector and one wonders what happened to the job creating initiatives that brought about companies such as Bahamas Stripping?  Mr. Davis is being very dishonest with the people of the Bahamas to suggest that the present government does not have a plan to move the country forward and to suggest that the present cost cutting measures MAY lead to a recession when he and his government in five years did very little to improve the country’s economic status and to stimulate the job market or even to try to make the country look appealing to the outside investor.

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

“Minnister of Pain – PM swings axe to turn around economy’ – The Tribune

Excerpt from this article’ “MAKING good on his promise to slash government spending in an effort t balance the country’s books, Prime Minister Dr. Hubert Minnis last night announced a variety of conservative measures, including  ten percent cut in spending in all government ministries and no new public sector hiring.

In his first televised national address as the nation’s leader, Prime Minister Minnis also said there will be no renewal of contracts for salaries which exceed $100,000 per year.  He said he will ensure his ministers ‘adhere to their budget and to financial constraints.’

He also announced a reduction in government vehicle as a part of a ‘new era of financial discipline.’

Dr. Minnis aid because of the ‘reckless and massive waste by the former administration,’ his government ‘must get out financial house in order.”

Listening to the talk in the market, literally, this morning, I heard one person claim that the hiring freeze is just another form of victimization, while another claim that ‘yes it is the peoples time, time for pain’, obviously a clear reference to The Tribunes headline but the question is just how many people agree with these cost cutting measures and/or even understand exactly what is being proposed.

I know a lot that work in the private sector are quite familiar with what is being proposed, as they are know all too well of the possibility of being laid off if the company finances were to take a turn for a worst and efforts were being made to turn things around and why should the government be any different?

I will admit that I am happy that it is not me that had to do what is clearly necessary to help the country’s economy but never the less; most of what has been proposed is desperately needed by the country and for anyone to say otherwise of for that person to be disingenuous to the persons that they are addressing.

The challenge for the Minnis administration at this time is to actually mean what they say and go about they work, no matter how unpopular the decisions may seem to some.  As they implement these drastic cost cutting measures; they must bring other programs online IMMEDIATELY to stimulate the economy through job creation, as the previous administration promised but was unable to deliver on.

The time for talk has long ended and it is indeed time for action; to show what you are made of, even if you ‘die’ trying to do it.

“Minnis won’t meet with Davis – PM dismisses political payback” ” – The Nassau Guardian

Excerpt from this article; “Prime Minister Dr. Hubert Minnis said yesterday that he has nothing to hide and dismissed Opposition Leader Philip Brave Davis’ promise of political retribution over the recent arrests of former Progressive Liberal Party (PLP) parliamentarians.

‘Whoever does wrong will be dealt with, be they PLP, be they FNM’ Minnis told reporters following a tour of the Atlantis Paradise Resort.

‘Once they have done wrong, the law will take its course.  Let the chips fall where they may.  If he has facts then give it to the police.  Don’t tell me about it.  Don’t tell it to the press.  Give it to the police.

As for concerns of whether he may face ‘PLP revenge’, Minnis said, ‘My life is an open book.  I have nothing to hide.  My life is an open book.’

‘My only worry today is that yesterday was my anniversary and I forgot.’

This is Prime Minister Hubert Minnis’ response to a letter sent to him by Leader of the Opposition Philip Brave Davis, which flips back and forth between “I would be the first to agree that where there is a reasonable – I repeat a reasonable suspicion of criminal misconduct, it should be thoroughly and rigorously investigated, including taking into account, however, explanations that may reveal that that was originally suspected to be criminal is in fact, nothing of the sort.”

So is Mr. Davis then seeking to intimate that the charges against the former members of parliament are unjustly brought and thereby unreasonable and are due to such an ‘abuse of power’, thereby promising retribution if and/or when the Progressive Liberal Party (PLP) regains control of the government.

First I would like to humbly suggest that the only way to determine if it is ‘nothing of the sort’ would be through a rigorous and thorough investigation and I ask, is that not what is going on at this point?  I get the feeling that Mr. Davis, although claiming to seek justice is wishing to ‘save face’ and appeal to his base by attempting to champion the cause of his comrades and is doing so by playing it out in the media and by suggesting that Prime Minister Hubert Minnis is personally responsible for their arrest but as the prime minister advises Mr. Davis; “Don’t tell me about it.  Don’t tell it to the press.  Give it to the police.”

At the end of the day when all is said and done, what really matters and is of the utmost importance is allowing the investigations to continue by the police ; so as to allow the ‘chips to fall where they may’.  As for the ‘threat’ by Philip ‘Brave’ Davis, calling it what it is,  it would appear that the prime minister’s concerns about that is quite minimal, as it should be, as his only regrets from yesterday is forgetting his wedding anniversary as it should be when you consider the message of the Leader of the Opposition.

“Munroe wants FNM’s probed – Lawyer compiling list of names to send to the police” – The Nassau Guardian

Excerpt from this article; “Attorney Wayne Munroe said yesterday he is compiling a list of alleged ‘questionable conduct’ by members of the Free National Movement (FNM), which he said he will present to the new Anti-Corruption Unit.

‘I think what needs to happen, and I am beginning to do it, is to compile a list of all the questionable conduct that has been alleged over time against any existing or former politician, be it someone in the present FNM government or retired, and send it to the police and see if they are evenhanded in investigating, arresting, detaining and questioning those persons,’  Munroe said.

‘The police have established what the threshold for arrest is and the threshold for charge is.’

‘I suspect that if they are going to show that they are being even-handed, that those will be investigated in the same manner as these other ones.”

So far, Munroe said he has compiled a list of six names.  He said he expects the list to grow.

I will offer them information in writing to the new corruption unit, which I will deliver with a delivery receipt, and I will sit and wait and see what happens with the investigations,’ he said.

Munroe says he intends to finish his research by the weekend.”

My Morning Paper questions the motives of Mr. Munroe because his motives and actions tend to imply that he questions the work being done by the Royal Bahamas Police Force’s Anti-Corruption Unit but then he has this right but it is really foolish, in my opinion, for Mr. Munroe to suggest that the recent arrests of former members of parliament of the previous Progressive Liberal Party (PLP) government have been drive by anything more than complaints from private citizens to the police an being investigated by the anti-corruption unit. 

When Mr. Munroe delivers his packet to the police with it be accompanied with the necessary affidavits containing statement and evidence from ‘others’ verifying that the allegations that they present/contain for intend factual or is Mr. Munroe expecting the police to just take his word for it?

What is Mr. Munroe’s motive here?  To put in a list of names and if not supported with the necessary documentation, then label the on-going investigations and pending court trials as another more that a ‘with-hunt’ to hurt the reputation of former PLP member of parliaments?

I personally have no problem with Mr. Munroe putting for a list of names with the necessary supporting information to warrant them being investigated but to only putting forth a list of names without the supporting documentation is only meant to either ‘stir the pot’ and give the opposition Progressive Liberal Party (PLP) the perceived leverage to claim that the investigation are being handles in an  evenhanded manner or even a blatant attempt to intimidate the Free National Movement (FNM) into stopping it’s investigations all together, which is stupid because the investigation are being carried out by the Royal Bahamas Police Force, and this is not the proper way to conduct serious business such as serious as this but exactly what I feel that Mr. Wayne Munroe QC is going to do, he can always prove me wrong.

END

As the Royal Bahamas Police Force’s Anti-Corruption Unit carries out its business of investigating allegations of wrong-doing by members of the previous government, the Leader of the Opposition Progressive Liberal Party (PLP), the Hon. Philip ‘Brave’ Davis, suggests that if he and his party were to win the next general election, their business would be about pay-back.

“PLP promises payback – Davis says day of reckoning is coming for abuses” – The Nassau Guardian

Excerpt from this article; “Opposition Leader Philip Brave Davis has written Prime Minister Dr. Hubert Minnis alleging abuse in relation to recent arrests of former parliamentarians, and warning that where such abuses of power occur, the offending parties, be they police or politicians, need to understand that there will come a day of reckoning for them as well.

‘What goes around comes around,’ Davis wrote.

‘And let me hasten to add that, this is not a threat.  It is instead an immutable law of the moral universe, one that is sometimes expressed in these words: ‘When you set out to dig a grave for your enemy, dig two.’

‘Those who are committing these abuses should therefore understand they cannot do so with impunity. To use your (the PM’s) own words: ‘Where you do wrong and abuse your position there will be consequences.’

Davis also wrote that where an investigation into alleged misconduct of ministers or MP’s is indeed justifiable, it is of first importance that the investigation be conducted by the police in manner that is completely free of political contamination.”

First, I would like to correct Mr. Davis on his reference of ‘grave digging’; the saying goes, “As you embark on a journey of revenge, dig two graves’ – Confucius.   I feel that it is very important that he gets this correct because it would be wise for the Opposition Leader to pay close attention to it as he now promises ‘payback’ and also he must outline these abuses that he refers to and show where these investigations may not be considered by him and others as ‘justifiable’.

As far as My Morning Paper was aware the investigations have been carried out “by police in manner that is completely free of political contamination”, Mr. Davis seems to be a bit confused as to what is going on here and he seems to be blinded by vengeance for his colleagues.

Mr. Davis, first question I would like to ask you is why is doing what is right being considered an abuse of power.  Of course the irony of it all is that as Mr. Davis ‘warns’ the prime minister that “where such abuses of power occur, the offending parties, be they police or politicians, need to understand that there will come a day of reckoning for them as well”, and this is exactly what is occurring at this time; the “day of reckoning” has come for “abuses of power” by the former Progressive Liberal Party (PLP) government.

Indeed, a day of reckoning is coming for each and every one of us, but as it pertains to the recent arrests of the former parliamentarians under allegations of abuse of public office by virtue of their positions; I would hope that this is a turning point for us as a society/country and that each and every elected official is held to these standards and no matter the side of the political fence, I hope that moving forward we would hold each and every one accountable for whatever

A mere days after being advised by his very own political party colleagues that he needs to remain quiet, some recommending that he needs to resign or be fired immediately as the chairman of the Progressive Liberal Party (PLP) with former Progressive Liberal Party (PLP) Cabinet Minister, Loftus Roker responding to former PLP MP Philip Galanis’ observations of “..the leadership of the PLP should call for Roberts’ immediate resignation and adding “The party needs to start from starch.

‘We’ve lost our way.  I agree with Mr. Galanis on his observations of Bradley Roberts.

‘I’m not sure he is doing anything to advance the party’; Mr. Bradley Roberts seems to be at it yet again.

“Roberts: ‘Rise up’ against evil of the FNM” – The Nassau Guardian

Excerpt from this article; “Progressive Liberal Party (PLP) Chairman Bradley Roberts last night called on supporters to ‘rise up and challenge’ the Minnis administration and take to the “streets, march and demonstrate”.

“I am a strong supporter of law and order but strongly feel that if the witch hunt in not discontinued that we, the supporters of our great party, must rise up and registers our disgust,’ he told supporters at a National General Council meeting.

‘We must take to the streets, march and demonstrate.  We must engage in a letter writing campaign not only to local newspapers editors, but to the United Nations High Commission on Human Rights.

‘Political activism is the most potent form of opposition to bring about change and to put a stop to evil.”

Exactly what is this evil that Mr. Roberts is referring to and to this point, whose human rights has been violated?

The ‘evil’ of investigating persons for allegations of wrongdoing and abuse of public office and holding these persons accountable?

Mr. Roberts, while advocating for civil discourse for ‘evils’ that he seems unable to articulate,  Mr. Roberts claims to be a strong supporter of law and order but has never questioned any malfeasances, clear violation of law and order which occurred during the past Progressive Liberal Party (PLP) administration.  Usually, the good chairman stood to attempt to justify it or deflect away from it, and often chastised those that spoke up/out against the perceived wrongdoings of the last Christie administration, making his statement of believing in law and order hypocritical and duplicitous.

What I would advise of the good chairman, as long as he is chairman, that he should actually find some ‘evil’ that has been perpetrated by the current Minnis administration on which to base your call for social discourse, thereby making it legitimate, because without that, your actions are nothing more than that of a reckless person.
