Nassau, Bahamas — Hubert Ingraham’s editorial Punch column “The Scribe” hinted to us early in the week how PAPA was headed to Bamboo Town to meet with constituents. Sadly so while Ingraham and his men went in sackclothes and ashes, to tell the residents of that community they apologize for what transpired in the House, no member of Bamboo Town constituency showed up. What happened last night, however, was a gathering of FNMs from around New Providence.
Branville has all of his Bamboo Town generals in lock. With him there exist more than 75% of the former council; so why did the FNM go to Bamboo Town?
Sources deep in the FNM tell us, “Branville’s single decision to vote “NO” to the sale of BTC resonated with the majority of Bahamians. Fact is, we have lost our brightest bulb and how we go forward without a Branville in the constituency spells trouble for us.”
Last night’s gathering produced supporters from everywhere else but Bamboo Town. There were residents from as far west as Mt Moriah. Far East as St. Anne’s and even the bad candidate, Duane Sands, showed up with a hand full of his few Lizzy supporters. The question is; where were the residents of Bamboo Town who Papa went to see and apologize to?
One former FNM resident in the area said, “From the way things look, ain’t any use they come in these parts. Bamboo Town GONE with Bran, South Beach gone to Hamilton, Pinewood Gone to the PLP, and all I see is GOLD in Golden Gates. There will be a clean sweep and vote of no confidence against the FNM Government in these parts and it ain’t long nah!”
Polls taken by the FNM reveal devastating results for the FNM in all of the South, Southeast and Southwest constituencies. The result forced Kennedy MP to flee to the North, South Beach Neymour to head into Exuma and Woody is sweating like wet butter in Pinewood.
Before the BTC vote Branville attempted to hold a town meeting on the sale of BTC and the FNM Goons Squad showed up and disrupted the voice of the people! Typical FNMS!
Branville shocks an entire FNM Party and has Papa wearing sackcloth. PAPA RUNNING SCARED, THE FNM GONE RED! BRANVILLE GONE AND IS FREE LIKE SIR CECIL.
You know, mental emancipation is an awakening experience.
It was’t long ago, I held firmly, and even express them from time to time, similiar opinions as that of “Thinker”.
I encourage you to think again. Branville was one of those representatives I admired, he really appeared to have his act together in Bamboo Town.
Growing up in Coconut grove as a little boy, I recall the many engaging social, cultural, technical and academic activities organised and sponsored by our representative at the time, Mr. Edmund Moxey.
Even to this day, I use Mr. Moxey as a yard stick as what a good representive should look like.
I believe, Branville has met that mark and then some, however, many and I mean a good number on both sides fail to measure up.
So, I wish to say to Bamboo Town, Pappa has plenty sackcloth to wrap himself in because he has much to apologise for, Branville is not one of them.
If you believe Branville has been a good and faithful steward, then I believe you ought to stick with the man and support him and say to the strangers, “stay out of our business”.
There is a history for all of us to make reference, some one name Hubert Alexander Ingraham, the then representative for Cooper’s Town Abaco and one Perry Gladstone Christie, the then representative for Centreville had plan to step down from Mr.Pindling’s Cabinet, their plans were skuttled and they were fired, and kicked out of the party.
they ran as independants and won their seats.
These men, both of them, I have long admired and still do. but you know, life is a circle, and we’ve come full circle with Mr.McCartney.
Bamboo Town, you’ve made a good choice when you embraced and elected Branville…. Mamma say, “ya know what ya gat”.
Thats my five cents!!!
heyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy F N MS lift up your head out of the sespool it been thire to long
COME ON PEOPLE LETS WAKE UP AND SMELL THE COFFEE. CLEARLY THE PM’S ONLY FOCUS IS SHOWING THE PLP THAT HE’S IN CHARGE AND HE CAN DO WHAT EVER HE WANTS. WEATHER ITS GAMBLING WITH OUR FUTURE OR SELLING THE ENTIRE COUNTRY. SINCE THE FNM CAME IN OFFICE EVERYTHING WENT UP EXCEPT SALARIES. BAHAMIANS ARE LOSING THEIR JOBS EVERYDAY, BUT YET THE PM STILL SAW IT FIT TO RAISE CUSTOM FEES, AND LICENSING OF VEHICLE TREMENDOUSLY!!! AS BAHAMIANS WE CAN’T EVEN AFFORD TO BUY A DESCENT VEHICLE FOR OUR FAMILIES. COME ON MR. PM THE PEOPLE ARE CRYING AND HURTING, STOP BEING SO NARROW MINDED AND START LOOKING OUT FOR THE PEOPLE, USE BRANDVILLE AS AN EXAMPLE. FNM WILL NEVER SEE A VICTORY AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I attended the meeting last night. It was well attended, so was Branville’s meeting. But, what I don’t understand is how so many of the people were non residents of Bamboo Town. Say what you like, it is the truth. The way the situation unfolded shows the immaturity of the FNM.
You know I have had enough of this media nonsense, It is obvious that this media is definitely trying to get away with the FNM Government, but gues what we can clearly see what government makes the most progress once in power. So Bahamians are we going to vote for progress[with the FNM] or playing[with the PLP]. Please BP stop blaming the government for crimes, especially murders as most of these are revenge killings, Taxes have gone up in every country in the world so why can’t we pay for somethings in the Bahamas. And oh check out the businesses that have shut down, mostly run by blacks who fail to pay taxes. Good bye BP……
Alfreda the argument cannot be made mute nor will it go quietly into the distance, facts are FACTS! Standards and Poors told the world, THE FNM Government BAD POLICIES has forced hardship on its people. We didn’t say that an INTERNATIONAL AGENCY did so.
BP
The entire FNM party has been reduced to sackcloth and ashes,and BP you’re so right their was a meeting for the FNM party not Bamboo Town. But the truth is, their sackcloth and ash is not one of repentance; but rather to try and hide their “FILTH”
This PLP symphatizer webpage…should seriously consider changing its name to the PLP ….Progressively Liking Perry. Its amazing how this site can call itself Bahamas Press…
Voice of Reason – what are your thoughts on the Tribune and Guardian?
BP
WOW you are in a DREAMWORLD we were at the MEETING that is how I know you are in a DREAM. We came out to hear what the LEADER a TRUE Leader had to say to us as we feel “MARGINALIZED, ABANDONED, DECEIVED and we CANNOT TRUST BRAN he can DROP us again”
Bamboo Town is FNM so BP wake up out that DREAM as Long as PGC is at the HEALM the PLP has NO CHANCE!
A COUNTRY CANNOT RUN ON ANY ONE INDIVIDUAL OR PERSONALITY!
Have you accepted yet with Hubert Ingraham and the FNM OUR COUNTRY DON’T have the slightest chance of surviving? HIGH TAXES, HIGH UNEMPLOYMENT, HIGH NATIONAL DEBT, RECORDBREAKING CRIME, TERROR AND MURDER, Massive LOSSES IN BUSINESS, A DISAPPEARANCE OF THE MIDDLE CLASS, HOPELESSNESS, DISPAIR AND SUICIDE WITH PEOPLE JUMPING OFF THE BRIDGE! MY GOD WE NEED CHANGE!
We have not seen such FAILURES IN DECADES, but THANKS TO THE FNM they are here all at one TIME…THE COUNTRY MUST CHANGE!
Hubert Ingraham Prove he is NOT half the manager of the Ship of State as Christie. CHECK THE RECORD FOR YOUR SELF AGAIN!
BP
GRANTED I AM NOT VOTING PLP OR FNM BECAUSE I FEEL THEY BOTH HAVE LOST THE VISION FOR OUR COUNTRY AND THE PEOPLE I NEED THE PEOPLE OF THIS COUNTRY TO REALLY LOOK AND SEE THE THE FNM LEADER IS NOT ABOUT DEMOCRACY BUT DICTATORSHIP. THE LAST TIME I CHECKED WERE A DEMOCRATIC COUNTRY. WAKE UP PEOPLE AND SMELL THE STINK.
Tell em BP!!
@Thinker
lolo lolo you are another empty barrel repeating the same old stupid story that if Christie is at the “helm” of the PLP then the FNM wins again.It is obvious to everyone that PC is a nightmare for FNMs who view the threat so seriously they recognise that only dissension among the ranks of the PLP will save them in a Gen Elect.And by the way Bamboo Town is not FNM country as only a strong candidate will pose a threat to McCartney.Papa has made a blunder and will find out that the shift of voters in the country has shifted.In a three way race the FNM candidate comes third.To save the FNM Papa needs to resign and let others takeover his party or the results from the Gen Elects will be devastating.
WHY IN THE HELL YOU ALL DO NOT STOP FOCUSING ON PERRY GLADSTON CHRISTIE AND LETS SEE HOW WE CAN STOP THIS CRIME ISSUE IN THE COUNTRY AND TRY GET THIS COUNTRY BACK FOR THE FUTURE GENERATIONS TO COME. STOP BEING SO STUPID ALL OF THESE GUYS WILL ONE DAY BE GONE AND WHAT DO WE HAVE LEFT, SO GET PAST MR. CHRISTIE AND MOVE ON STUPID DAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
