Wouldn’t it be great if the Governor General Rodney Williams addressed the fact that since the killing of Asot Michael, that the citizens of this country hasn’t been given any updates on how and why this elected Minister was murdered?
Tributes are fine, but a thorough investigation is also required isn’t it Rodney?
Williams ran to UK officials when he had the opportunity to hold our own Prime Minister to account on an important political and policy matter and declined to do so; just to keep his position and save Gaston from deeper scrutiny. Absolute weak-hearted cohort.
Let’s see if he’ll push for outside and international interventions into the untimely and heinous demise of Asot Michael.
HOWEVER, I WON’T HOLD MY BREATH …
Brix u are seriously dumb and ignorant for this comment. I get it you all dont like (particularly hate) the ABLP government especially the PM but for you to want them to speak about a murder case that is still under investigation and before the court is now an all time low even for you. Come on man you profess to be an intelligent and well read man but the ignorance you spew on here is just beyond ones imagination and is giving delu del
@ Chupes, I would never expect an unintelligent ABLP acolyte to believe or even agree with an UPP supporter. Come on now …
And even you must admit there has been a handful of high profile murders in Antigua that should have come to the courts by now, and the citizens more informed. Come on now …
We’ve hardly heard any criminal updates on the recent murder of the young lady; the 2-3 unsolved killings of custom officers (how many years is that now?); and the recent high profile death of Parliamentarian Asot Michael.
Again @ Chupes, come on … now who’s SERIOUSLY dumb???
ABLP supporters supporting the indefensible.
1. I for one never stated that I am an ABLP supporter.
2. Where and when have the media, law enforcement or government have ever released details of on going high profile cases please post the links
3. You are very ignorant and delusional as hell to be running in the comments with these claims. Not because you throw a lot of words together makes you what you are saying any less ignorant. Now do have a good day Sir. In fact go outside and touch some grass!!!!!
@ Chupes, Antiguans aren’t looking for the ins and outs of a Mangooses behind in the above mentioned murder cases; but we have had nothing; zilch; nada.
Don’t you think that strange as an ARDENT ABLP supporter. Come now, take ownership and don’t be coy about who you support.
You sound embarrassed 😳
BTW, you’re never critical of other ABLP supporters, Members, Minister’s or even Gaston Browne. Strange that for someone who doesn’t support the
government … 🤔
You aren’t fooling anyone on ANR.
Pull the other leg, its got bells 🛎 🛎 on it!
Birx you obviously woke up this morning and chose ignorance. Let me leave you be to wallow in your ignorant delusional world. Because if I am to.continue with this back and forth with you its going nowhere. Now unlike you who seems to have nothing better to do but hit the refresh button I actually have a life outside ANR. Maybe you should try and get one to!!!!!
GOTCHA … 😂😂😂
