Dear Editor,
Antiguans needs to be very careful how they vote come January or March 2023. This election will either make or break the country for decades and centuries to come.
Standing afar it seemsmas though King Liard plans to use the devil Burna Boy concert as a launch pad to announce a election date which strong word on the street rumor has it will be a snap election in January 2023.
It was all a ploy to fool the people of this country and an election gimmick. Remember Antigua people St Kitts is “again” offering its civil servants “double salary”. Its like Antigua people loves bad treatment.
King Liard has also promised village roads and main roads will be fixed. Where is that happening?
All promises no action government! Nothing is being done because this government does not care about the people and they are simply “broke”. “Self enrichment is their motto”.
St John’s is in the most shocking state it has ever been. The city is extremely filthy and still stinks beyond imagination. Imagine tourists season is in full swing send the city of St John’s is in a deplorable state and this “wicked” government has done nothing to bring the city to light.
Remember when tourists come on these cruise ships the city is the first and last thing they see. What kind of impression are we making on tourist who we want to see come back to our country again and the cruise lines. This government is a “wicked set of people”.
Unemployment in the country as it stands is the highest it has been in decades. Nothing is being done by this “wicked” government to address this issue. No investment has been announced, no assistance to the private sector to help elevate the high unemployment being experienced in the country.
Young people who are unemployed, get registered to vote and vote out this wicked, heartless government in 2023 and put one in there that you feels will serve your best interest.
The vaccination mandate and the teargassing of peaceful protest on the 08/08/20 will go down as the most haneous acts a Caribbean government has ever committed towards its citizens. Persons have lost their jobs, because they refused to inject themselves with the poison, as a result losing their cars, homes and relationships as a result of this wicked government policy.
The bombing and teargassing caused many persons health problem which they never had persist with them up to this day, babies who were in their homes and had nothing to do with teargas suffered health problems, the elderly who had nothing to do with the protest and were in their homes suffered.
King Liard conveniently took vacation with his family at that particular time when covid vaccination hesitancy was tense and pretended to know nothing acted like everything was a surprised when law enforcement took action “based on instructions they got” and flew up the “next day” to so call bring “peace” to gives people the impression he knoew nothing.
Give me a break. When these wicked people are voted out a commission of enquiry must be set up to investigate the actions on the 08/08/20.
What happened to no household should not go without water for more than 2 days? Its been 2 weeks since I last had water, even with the Fort James RO plant in operation.
We were promised an improvement in water distribution since its installation but “nothing” has changed.
Then King Liard promised a new RO plant in Bethesda and I drive up that side yesterday no sign “at all” of a site being readied to build a structure to house a RO plant. What a set of wicked, heartless people! Where did the money go for that RO plant?
It’s alleged that Transport Board is paying the salaries of staff at a certain radio station?
If this is true, in which country in the world would this be tolerated? Then there is this FTX and Odebretch scandals which muddied the reputation of the country.
Notice its only in a labor party government does these scandals papers along with losing our Visa Free Acess to Canda? No one is ever held accountable in this place because we are the most “corrupt ” country on earth.
Farmers have been crying out for access to water, lights and electricity to their farmes.
The clown a just come in farming, can “instantaneously” get the foremeationed at his farm ASAP because he is the leader of the country and feels he is touchable and does not care about the plight of farmers who are trying to are a living to make ends meets so he just sets himself up so he can make all the money, take the Prime agriculture lands, build a dam on his farms, a still have access to government water even if his dam dries up.
Antiguans needs to realise this guy just doesn’t care about them, it’s all about him, his family and his Cabinet getting rich off the backs of tax payers.
Am calling on all the farmers in 2023 vote this dude out because he is clearly showing you all he doesn’t care about you and your concerns.
The cost of gasoline at the pump has gone down tremendously since its highs, and this “wicked government” still has the price at the pump high, high.
The price of gasoline has gone down so much so that its the first time this winter in the USA where we allegedly get our gas will go below 3 dollars gallon since Russia invaded Ukraine.
Even on the world market now oil and gas prices have remained stable and this wicked government still has it very high at the pump. Antigua people you deserve better, these wicked people needs to get their asess kicked in 2023.
Poor people needs relief! The cost of food is rising at the supermarkets daily and never once has this wicked government offered a solution to reduce the prices at the supermarkets and at the pump.
Lighting in this country is shocking. Imagine it took an incident with 2 medicals students RIP to the young man who died and the young lady who lost her arm to get lighting on Friars Hill Road.
In this country we seems to be reactionary instead of taking preventative steps to prevent incidents like this to occur.
Driving up to the eastern side of the country these are roads that are extremely dark that locals tourists travels on daily, there are roads around South which are also dark which tourists and locals traverse daily, up north also there are roads which are dark and nothing seems to be done in order to address the lighting issue.
Will it take another tragic incident for action to be taken? If that is the case we deserve the government we currently have.
Imagine the same government who protested and marched up and down St John’s especially Max Hurst and Lennox Weston against the CIP is now singing it praises. What a hypocritical set of politicians we have in office.
CIP is what is keeping this country afloat currently, however the problem is what can this failed experiment government we have show to people to say this is what CIP has done.
When you go to St Kitts and other islands you can clearly see what the CIP has done.
This government has boasted they have collected over 2 Billion dollars in CIP Revenue so the obvious question is where did it all go? The new incoming administration should investigate where did all this money go and who benefited from it?
The issue of Social Security. The ABLP was the party who destroyed Social Security. Even the current clown we have as PM admitted on his radio program that it was the Lester Bird administration who destroyed Social Security.
Instead of solving the issue and having experts from overseas properly advise the government on how to fix the issue Social Security face all they do is point fingers and raise the contribution and retirement age yearly. This is just ridiculous.
One of the reason Social Security is struggling is because unemployment is very high with the government increasing the age of retirement the senior citizens stay on longer on the job instead of young persons getting a chance to enter the workforce.
Also contributing to Social Security woes is the stagnant private sector and private sector investment which currently obtains in the country. These wicked people just wants to keep the people in a begging phase, Antigua people wake the hell up.
Finally a few of “failed” projects the clown failed to get off the ground. Marriot Hotel, YIDA, WIEZ, Calvin Aire Valley Church Beach, Underwater Hotel, Callaoo Cay, Paradise Lost, etc. etc. Just a bunch of failures.
Also look at the amount of disgruntled workers in the country. Fiennes Institute, Clairevue, Pharmacy Council, National Solid Waste, Nurses, Police, Fire Brigade, Prison Officers etc. etc.
Can’t Antigua people see this government is finished and has severely lost its way. They have no use for us so we should no use for them.
In conclusion this government is a failed, useless, deceitful, 2 tongue lying snake government which must be removed from office whether elections are called in January or March 2023.
They have shown us they only care about self-enrichment of themselves and their families and they are just one set of wicked politrickcians.
Be careful how you vote Antigua people. If these people get another term thing are going to get severely worst, poverty can’t done. Vote them out, red dead! Can’t say you haven’t been warned people.

I could not have analyzed life in Antigua any better than you did Carol. Antiguans MUST STAY WOKE AND VOTE OUT THIS WICKED GOVERNMENT. RED DEAD DEAD! VOTE IN YOUR INTEREST AND THE FUTURE OF ANTIGUA AND BARBUDA NOT FOR SELF ENRICHMENT OF POLITICIANS, THEIR FAMILIES AND FRIENDS. BE WISE AND VOTE OUT ABLP! DON’T BE FOOLED A THIRD TIME BECAUSE YOU WILL NOT HAVE ANOTHER OPPORTUNITY TO MAKE THINGS BETTER. WE THE YOUNG PEOPLE BEG YOU TO VOTE OUT ABLP DO THAT WE CAN HAVE A BETTER LIFE.
@ Ms. Antigua: Both you & Vincy need to wake up and smell the coffee. The polls are clearly showing that its 5 more years for the Gaston Browne administration
I thought it was a replica of Hitler above in that fully red uniform.
You all say the ABLP is all about self. So what about UPP? So UPP care about poor people? Is that what you are trying to say? Please, wheel and come again. UPP only interested in power that’s all. They don’t give a hoot about poor people. All gimmick for vote. Lies lies and more lies. All of them are power hungry. Stop tell lies to the people like you all care anything about poor people. All are you a de same. None a au better than none.
Where de money gone. For a country that collected so much revenues why are we so much worse off than other OECS countries? How is it St Kitts can pay double salaries and St Lucia can pay back pay, yet this government can’t even pay pensioners on time?
Why we so broke? What happened to the economic powerhouse?
I am Gaston 🤡 and I endorse this letter. I hope this burna boy show will help us with the election
Ralph Gonsalves is the godly hero you desire
I’m sure the last 8 years was alot better then harold lovell entire term as Finance Minister.
Government workers were paid late regular wages and salaries, Government Building were totally shit holes, Government had NO HEAVY DUTY EQUIPMENT to do no infrastructural work, Government had an Employment freeze, Government could afford to run the hospital equipment, Government blocked children from getting birth certificate unless a bill is paid to the hospital, Government blocked small businesses from clearing goods from the port unless IRD is paid in full, Government didnt raise the minimum wage nor Public Sector workers salary and wages 2009-2014…all in harold lovell time as Minister of Finance
@ Jack Daniel
TEARGAS TEARGAS TEARGAS……UPP NEVER TEARGAS NO ONE……CUTIE AND GASTON AND THE ENTIRE LABOUR PARTY AND MINISTERS DID IT…………
……NEVER ONCE HAS ANY MINISTER OF GOVERNMENT SPOKE OUT AGAINST THE WANTON USE OF TEARGAS ON THE CITIZENSHIP OF THE COUNTRY….

5 more years…you can goo back vincy in March.
Unfortunately, for this author, all WEF backed governments are winning and will win future
elections. In order for the NWO gang to complete their global COUP, they must have governments that willingly complies with their mandates — If y’all haven’t been paying attention, this government is fully on board with that agenda.
The recent election in Brazil is a clear indication of the reach the NWO gang has in manipulating election outcomes. This is going to be the same thing with Antiguas election. The only difference is, the Brazilian people have refused to accept the election results and have resorted to massively protest it. But the NWO gang is very powerful, and they have pushed back by freezing Brazilian protesters bank accounts. (Remember Trudeau in Canada with the truckers protest)? So unless Antiguans are prepared for a protracted fight against the NWO yes men, Antiguas future is going be part of their control grid. And to be fair, a new, cash strapped government wouldn’t stand a chance against the Black Rock/ State Street/ NWO/ WEF
behemoth — Moreover, too many Antiguans have bought into the mainstream narrative anyway. I’m guessing, their awakening will come too late.
@Cannabis Indica…Unfortunately, you can lead the thirsty to water, but you can’t make them drink.
Hopefully, as more and more of Us become #Enlightened through the #realisation(s), of the reality which we’re swimming in, and Get Up, Stand Up and fight the Beast(Systems of Governance) which controls HUEmanity.

They have found a way to handle the tourists and the stinking, unsightly St John’s problem. They have organized trips outside to outlying areas that last from arrival to departure of the ships.
Middle finger to the taxi and bus drivers.
Here’s my take. If you are still thinking of voting for King Armageddon despite everything you have seen and heard him do, here is one that MUST, HAVE TO, make you decide not to.
THIS HITLER TEAR GASSED HIS PEOPLE. HE DID NOT CARE IF WE AND THOSE THROWING THE TEARGAS CANISTERS DIE
Well articulated, written and presented @ Carol Barthley.
I can’t help but notice how well – in general – that UPP supporters argue their case for change in the country from the 50 combined years of Birdism and Browneism governance. Really awful!
UPP supporters explain whilst ABLP supporters curse and show disdain.
UPP supporters will highlight all the 50 years of broken promises, whilst ABLP supporters will continually talk about “jam” tomorrow.
UPP supporters continually inform wisely, about the current incumbents to put the citizens of Antigua first; however, their supporters will NEVER mention a damn thing about the ABLP’S self-enrichment schemes, nepotism or cronyism that is destructive to the country.
I thoroughly enjoyed reading your letter to the editorial team at ANR … I appreciate and applaud your erudite insights. Thank you Carol 👏
This is nothing to gloat about, because death is the one appointment we all must keep; no exemptions ; no exceptions. Let this be a lesson to us 𝐚𝐥𝐥; from chief cook to bottle-washer.
My condolences to the members and supporters of the UPP.
Ras Smood proving without a shadow of a doubt that INTELLIGENCE isn’t a given, and has to be really worked at … 😖
OH BWOY! 🤯
@Ras Smood…I see, you’re back for seconds 💩💩💩
Carol, the real offence here is that you slipped through the cracks of our education system because you can’t write for sh*t.
Also, I think less people than you think care about the ILLEGAL protest on August 8th.
Five more years pan di bugga dem.
“… I think less people than you think care about the ILLEGAL protest on August 8th”.
Reading this response from @ Chups is proof perfect my fellow citizens – and critical thinkers – of Antigua & Barbuda why the world and his dawg believe that we are political lightweights, and ignorant so till, regarding how we continually put up with poor governance, and don’t seem to want to do DIDDLY SQUAT about it.
Only Gaston Browne can attract these types of political HIERODULES …
WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH US???
@ Chups
Speak for yourself.
ANTIGUANS WILL NEVER FORGET 08/08/2021. IT IS ETCHED IN OUR MEMORIES. THE PAIN AND BUNNING FROM GASTON AND CUTIE TEARGAS AND THAT DOES NOT BOTHER YOU, YOU EVIL AND WICKED ABLP SUPPORTERS. TOO SORRY ONE OF THE CANNISTERS COULDNT JUST FLY AND HIT YOU AND GASTON AND CUTIE AND ALL THE SILENT MINISTERS WHO NEVER SPOKE OUT AGAINST IT.
GET RID A DEM…R U SICK MA TOMUCK
@ Brixtonian: There is no need for you to be protracting your speeches, Gaston Browne & his administration will be managing the affairs of this country for another 5 more years. After this election UPP will go into the sunset and disintegrate
Ah ha, @ Bluddy Bloke, I see you have a problem with words like HEIRODULES 🤣🤣🤣
Isn’t wordplay just a beautiful thing?
Brixtonian loves it …✍️ again, that’s how I roll boss!
@ Brixtonian: Being verbose is one thing but scribing sense is another…..
… Nice riposte 😁
What is happening now is loveLIE is feeling the pressure…Labour Party a ramp up whereas before it was just them
Lovelle problem is Gaston Browne make he chose his candidates too early
Some want to roll out due to financial & health concerns, but they are forced to hold on at loveLIE’s desperate plea
Buddy Bloke,
I prefer a cappuccino, but if you let us know who are the posters and the polls that states 5 more years, then I may smell coffee.
@chups,
Your handle speaks volume. ” chups? ” it lacks creativity and imagination.
You have made yourself a member of the “fruit flies gang”. It’s hard to bat you away when you want to suck on the nectarine.
The Fruit Fly Gang are those selfish people with no morals or standard of fairness. They support a political party only on the basis of the crumbs they and their family can get.
The Fruit Fly Gang do not believe in merit and hard work. They believe in a political welfare system where they pickup the crumbs as King Thief continue unsbated.
