    • The government and their people just doing what they normally do . They are entitled , didn’t you know ? I wonder which senator from bolans ? Hmmmmmm

  1. Desperation is making people stupid. Who would ever think that a photocopy would pass for a proper cheque. Also how is it relevant that he is related to a senator if no name is being presented? Are they uncertain that he committed the crime?

  2. A reflection on the state of affairs in Antigua and Barbuda. In no way do I condone this action, but desperation often makes people irrational.
    This will get worse as things continue to deteriorate under this Gaston Browne led administration.
    Other territories have found ways to assist their people except Antigua and Barbuda. It is what it is with this idiot at the helm and the minions singing in support of him for their tainted bread.

    • Of course it is. How else you think they going to get clicks likes and of course that ad revenue. They know how to sensationalized the story to bring out the trolls.

  3. Was the cheque in his name? Was he detained at the service station until police arrived or did they tell him the money is coming so hold on?
