  1. Less duty materials can only lead to more island wide construction of housing for the citizens of Antigua 🇦🇬

    GOOD FISCAL MOVE SIR …👍

    • If you truly believe that Harold Lovell will be the savior of Antigua and Barbuda then you sir are a fool. This man is the very reason why Gaston Brown and ALP were able to regain power after Antigua and Barbuda people kicked their asses out in 2004. This man performance as minister of finance is one of the most dismal performance in the history of Antigua and Barbuda. His piss poor performance made it all to easy for ALP to be elected and by such a huge margain. I suggest to you sir since you seem to have a lot of time on your hands to go and do some research on Harold Lovell and UPP and see why a lot of people have no faith in him. Yes we want to see ALP gone but we don’t want Harold Lovell for PM. Anybody else but him.

      • Ah, but SMDH, if only you can look past your “generational” support of the ABLP, you will notice that after eight years of governance, Antiguans are suffering and their livelihoods – on the whole – have got a lot worse.

        TEK OFF THE BLINKERS NAH MAN … TARL!

        By the way, I supported Gaston when he first came to office – as I have mentioned time and time again on ANR threads.

        • This not generational support this is Harold Lovell is not it. Its better they bring back Baldwin Spencer. Horld Lovell is the wrong man for the job. The results of the 2018 election is a,clear message is Harold Lovell is the problem. Take it from a person who has been to several UPP rallies and know under Harold Lovell leadership UPP is heading for another loss at the polls. The problem withUPP is a very simple one remove Harold Lovell as the leader and ALP will fall but as long as he is there and still using the old 1971 playbook they wontmake much progress at the polls

          • SMDH you sound worried!
            The ABLP will lose this election! With the help of God, Harold Lovell will lead the UPP to victory!
            Sorry SMDH. This is not 2018. This is 2022!
            The UPP IS MARCHING FORWARD TO VICTORY!

      • Ok.

        You speak for all Antiguans. I can tell you now, THERES NO WAY IN THIS WORLD WILL THE ABLP be re-elected again. Not after so much HUNGER, UNEMPLOYMENT, HIGH FOOD AND GASOLINE PRICES, NO HELP FOR POOR PEOPLE. NO STIMULUS FOR PEOPLE NOR BUSINESS.
        PEOPLE JUST BIDING THEIR TIME IN SILENCE PATIENTLY WAITING TO VOTE DEM OUT

        • Are you forgetting all the newly minted citizens and residents. Gaston does this every election. He offers amnesty. Why would he be trying to find new voters? Because he knows most native Antiguans don’t want him. One of his apparent newly minted residents phoned into his radio program last week to complain that she was not allowed to register to vote. He told her to get a letter from immigration. The question is, is immigration issuing letters to people who do not qualify to vote?

      • Every day, a sector of the population goes on strike against Gaston and the ABLP.
        What these workers are saying is that they have no faith in Gaston Browne and the ABLP.
        Gaston’s days are numbered. Gaston knows it! That is why Gaston is afraid to call the election.

        • You are a real piece of work. The moment someone says anything about UPP and its leadership you automatically say that they are an ALP supporter. Just know that there are a lot people in Antigua and Barbuda who wishes to see the back of ALP but in the same breath will not elect UPP with Harold Lovell as its leader.

        • @ SAVANNAH, Gaston Browne knows the tide is turning against him and the ABLP, the citizens of Antigua have woken up at last to their broken promises.

          What was really upsetting as a proud Antiguan, the rest of the world saw us as a GULLIBLE people, who accepted working for no wages; outstanding backpay owed; substandard housing; a water supply system that should have been in place on our beautiful island years ago, and high profile employment given to friends, family and contacts.

          An embarrassing overview from the outside world 🌎

          However, we all now have the chance to make this right in the eyes of the world at the next general election.

          WE ONLY HAVE OUR SELVES TO BLAME IF WE DON’T GET IT RIGHT AT THE BALLOT BOX …🗳

      • I AM NOT A MEMBER OF THE UPP BUT THEY WOULD BE FOOLS TO LISTEN TO YOU MR SMDH.
        HAROLD’S PERFORMANCE AS MINISTER AS FINANCE STANDS HEAD ABOVE THIS SO CALLED PM WHO CANNOT PAY PENSIONERS, CANNOT PAY SUPPLIERS, CANNOT PAY CLAREVUE WORKERS, CANNOT PAY CBH WORKERS, CANNOT PAY NURSES, CANNOT GIVE AN INCREASE TO PUBLIC WORKERS UNLIKE UPP WHO GAVE AIR TRAFFIC CONTROLLERS, CUSTOMS OFFICERS, POLICE ETC MASSIVE INCREASES DURING LOVELL’S TENURE. I DON’T KNOW WHICH ERA YOU WERE OR IS LIVING IN BUT IT IS THE WORST THIS COUNTRY HAS EVER EXPERIENCED UNDER A PRIME MINISTER!!!
        I AM A FINANCIAL EXPERT SO I CAN TALK.
        GO HIDE YOUR SMDH CRAPP. ANTIGUA PEOPLE WOULD BE WICKED TO VOTE ABLP BACK IN. UNLESS THEY LIKE TO BE TORTURED.

        • And now I know you are SAVANNAH as well quiet a few persudeos on this site. Lol its really funny how my opinion have you rambling on and on like the useless idiot you are.

        • Harold lovell paid government salaries late every month for 2 plus year, pensioners were paid late since 2007 nonstop- where have you been living? Or you’re one to forget quick?

          • I GUESS YOU FORGOT THIS COUNTRY WAS ON A GO SLOW FOR NEARLY FIVE YEARS UNDER LESTER BIRD WHEN SALARIES COULD NOT EVEN BE PAID. THE COUNTRY WAS STUCK AND THE WHEELS WERE NOT TURNING.
            YOU USEFUL IDIOTS HAVE COLLECTED MORE THAN TWICE THE MONIES THE UPP COLLECTED DURING THEIR TENURE AND STILL CANNOT PAY SUPPLIERS CLAREVUE WORKERS, PORT WORKERS, CBH, QUARRY WORKERS, NURSES, TEACHERS- EVERY WEEK THERE IS SOME STRIKE AND NOW TO SUPPRESS THAT YOU GUYS FIRING PEOPLE LEFT RIGHT AND CENTER.
            ABLP MUST GO YOU TERRIBLE AND DISHONEST LIAR.
            THERE IS TOO MUCH HUNGER AND SUFFERING IN ANTIGUA. I HAVE NEVER SEEN IT THIS BAD. YOUNG PEOPLE BEGGING MONEY AT THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, BUSINESS SCREAMING FOR STIMULUS AND YET NO INTERVENTION FROM THE GOVERNMENT-JUST SILENCE.
            IS THIS WHAT A POWER HOUSE IS- OR A POOR HOUSE. VOTE DEM OUT

    • Have you checked the quality of the houses the government is building? Take a drive up Paynters and see how the houses are sitting flat on the ground with no foundation. The people up there going to have tons of problems with flooding. The houses are both poorly and cheaply built.

      • @Observation….Stop finding excuse to remain under your momma’s roof. You obviously dont understand construction technology or simply out to deceive. ALL EBRY HOUSE UP dey was built on what is termed a raised foundation due to very fact that it is a low lying area. Before the houses were built concrete piles were driven into the earth and were allowed settle before the major construction work started. With that said go and get one and cum fram unda mamma roof.

        • @Just Saying
          Take a drive up there and prove me wrong. Even the picture of the new affordable home shows it sitting flat on the ground. Where are the raised foundations ? They must be unda your mamma roof. The people living in these houses are going to have water flowing through their houses the next hurricane or tropical storm. Do you own and live in one of these houses?

  3. Every day, a sector of the population goes on strike against Gaston and the ABLP.
    What these workers are saying is that they have no faith in Gaston Browne and the ABLP.
    Gaston’s days are numbered. Gaston knows it! That is why Gaston is afraid to call the election.

  5. A lawyer friend of mine has agreed that they will draft up a contract that you will have access to. With the said contract you are to ask all UPP budding politicians to sign when they come to your place soliciting your votes. It will detail all the promises to date and have them commit to providing you with US $1.0M if the promises are not met.

    • LIKE THE 500 HOUSES IN 500 DAYS AND WATER IN 14 DAYS?

      I WOULD RATHER BET ON UPP’S PROMISES THAN THE LIES GASTON GAVE US PRIOR TO 2014.

      GASTON’S PROMISES ARE COMFORT TO FOOLS AND USEFUL IDIOTS LIKE U

  6. By the time UPP get into power ebry Antiguan will done hab one house so you can kip you duty. Thank you ABLP.

    Oh….it is still pride month. #LGBTQ. Represent….Happy pride month!!!!!
