I have noted with expectation the Tribune’s articles, concerning my trip to North Abaco, firstly as a Headline Story on July 12, 2006 and again on July 13, 2006 in a byline response from Hubert Ingraham and an Editorial by The Editor.
It appears from the editorializing of the headline story, laced with more opinion than fact, that The Editor of the Tribune was more stung by my usual remarks and historical facts concerning Hubert Ingraham, than Hubert Ingraham was himself. This only confirms what the sensible reading public has always known, that being the historical fact that the Editor of The Tribune loses whatever limited sensibilities reposed in her, when those of special interests to The Tribune are held up to the light of public scrutiny.
I would wish to remind or inform The Tribune, that my desire to retire after two and a half years and the request of The Prime Minister for me to continue on at the pleasure of his appointment as a Cabinet Minister, is really inconsequential to the positive progression of the nation, as opposed to Hubert Ingraham breaking his promise to return as a potential Prime Minister of The Commonwealth of The Bahamas. If I were never an MP or Cabinet Minister again, it wouldn’t be earth shattering and destructive; however it would be earth shattering and destructive if Hubert Ingraham were to ever again hold the reigns of power in The Bahamas. That is the distinct difference in me being requested to stay longer than I had desired and Hubert Ingraham returning as a potential Prime Minister because that is what he desires.
I would expect that the Editor of The Tribune will now continue writing for weeks, months and maybe even years about my remarks in North Abaco over the Independence Weekend, concerning Hubert Ingraham, for again, obviously The Editor was stung very painfully by my remarks. However, I wish to remind The Tribune Newspaper, that anything they may have to say against me and in defense of Hubert Ingraham, would ultimately be held up, by the public, to the light of truth and the history of who actually tells the truth, when it comes to Bradley Roberts as compared to The Tribune and their cohort, Hubert Ingraham.
Hubert Ingraham forced Sir Lynden to resign and provided some benefits, but got his Cabinet to sweeten the benefits for him in providing a personal assistant at $45,000.00 yearly and a maid for the rest of his life.
