All you foolish upp supporters do is to BAD-TALK the Beautiful Country named Antigua and Barbuda 🇦🇬 all for politics.
@Iman
All you educated ABLP minions do is see the corruption, greediness, selfishness, malfeasance and stayed quiet and condoned it for a few dollars at election time.
Hey lemme go tek me clothes out this machine because the water a run Browne
The union in bed this is why the union and the government didn’t complete the negotiations before the election
@Iman, as usual, you are a delusional. What beautiful country? Beautiful for you and your minons as you bleed our country dry of money and our patrimony. Every community is dirty, overgrown with bush, St. Johns is in deplorable condition with the stench everywhere, our roads continue to be dark and dangerous with the constant threat of stray animals ever a real and present danger. Give us an account of the 11 billion you collected and the unknown billions you continue to borrow. What of the 12 million you got from PLH? Many out here are not just UPP supporters, but patriots. Now there’s a word that bears consideration. ALP scrapped a ‘win’ because Antiguans are easily bribed for trinkets.
