Cayman Islands’ looming immigration problem has made headlines again.
The Bloomberg story we ran last week under the title “Paradise Lost” is the subject of an article in Bermuda’s Royal Gazette we have published today, “Cayman Islands could eject 2,000 work permit holders”.
The operative word here is “could”. It is not “will”.
The article does say Cayman’s [...]
It is most disappointing to have to report that a last minute challenge to the election of Minister Tara Rivers has been filed in the Grand Court by Mr. Gordon Hewitt, husband of Mrs. Velma Hewitt, a candidate in the recent elections in West Bay.
I can only wonder at the timing and the reason behind [...]
From Dr. James C. Dobson, Ph.D, Founder and President of Family Talk
June 2013
Dear Friends,
Are you aware that religious liberties, cherished by millions of Americans, are being attacked, viciously and relentlessly, by various departments of the federal government? These agencies are being led by appointees of President Obama, who gives them their marching orders. His policies [...]
Roddy
By Joan Wilson
Roddy – that’s what they called him
From birth, right to his grave.
He was six foot six inches tall

Were you, like me, annoyed at the seemingly relentless texting during the elections? My telephone was constantly beeping informing me of every meeting C4C, Progressives and most candidates were having.
Texting is used by LIME and Digicel informing us of every promotion and cheap rates (with conditions) they are offering us.
We can vote (at a cost) [...]

Hmm. . “If we started off with a level playing field, everyone would have an [...]
Are you complacent or prepared? I am referring to the 2013 Hurricane Season that started June 1st and already we have had a named storm, Andrea.
It formed in the Gulf on June 5th and caused flooding and tornadoes across Florida, moved up the East Coast of the USA and finally came to rest in Nova [...]
Email doing the rounds about fanatics
An email crossed our desk about fanatics taking control and supposedly written by Dr. Emanuel Tanya*, a well-known and well-respected psychiatrist.
One of our occasional columnists, Carol-Ann Rudy, has done some investigation for me and found this version where much of the email story was taken from
Why the Peaceful Majority is [...]
Do we really need a minimum wage?
There is much talk of the exploitation of some of our workforce, especially foreign workers, and the Progressives (PPM) campaigned heavily on introducing a minimum wage. The PPM is now the government but the Minister for Labour is Tara Rivers, the Coalition for Cayman (C4C), who campaigned against a [...]
