Just in time for the government change…
GASTON Brown and his chain gang members. After just two and a half years, they called an election short of the full five years, as if they actually completed what they set out to do. But they didn’t. Our passport, once respected—people from Santo Domingo and others came to Antigua to get it—now it’s not even respected anymore. It was destroyed by this previous government through the CIP visa program, which attracted shady characters. And now, we have a sketchy election—billboards are being messed with, criminal behaviors are rampant. It’s so unfair to have a government that attracts these kinds of people and still calls this a fair election. On top of that, they’re outspending the UPP with the largest billboards, and even though the UPP has a few small ones, they still get vandalized. We also don’t understand why Antigua hasn’t had a functional hospital. We’re so far behind—our MRI machines are sketchy, the whole health care system is failing, and the customer service in Antigua is terrible. Government buildings are run down—bathrooms are awful, no maintenance. Yet this prime minister claims he’s a great leader, but he’s really leading us nowhere. It’s time for a real change.
@Must have been hard , GREAT JOB..
Your paid propagandist desperation continues, commenting on every story which shows what a total loser you are, just like the clown show party you support. Your disinformation campaign is the work of an amateur and will not work. You really think you have any reach or influence writing your repetitive crap on the comment section of this website?🤣 You are a dork.
