  1. Well well well
    Another court case govt. lost.
    How much of the people’s money has been spent on these ‘political’ court cases in past 5-years? Because all that money should have been in Social Security / medical benefits right now.

      • @Amneisa just jogging your memory:

        ALL WERE LOST. THE UPP WERE NEVER IN POWER. THEY NEVER HAD AN ATTORNEY GENERAL.
        IN FACT THE UPP’S ATTORNEY GENERAL FORGED SIGNATURES LEFT RIGHT AND CENTER AND SHOULD HAVE BEEN JAILED.
        YOU PEOPLE ARE THE BEST. YOUR PAY CHEQUE MUST BE FAT, WHILE PEOPLE HUNGRY HUNGRY IN THIS COUNTRY

        • Did you seriously just type that enitie paragraph of lies in all caps. My dear I suggest you go take your medication cause you must be seriously screwed up in the head.

    • The Government didn’t loose a case here this is a political party-
      Alot of y’all want to act as if y’all understand what the hell is happening – a political party and Government cases are different. One is paid for by the state and one is paid from a political party’s bank account.
      Stupid much

    • The “govt” was not listed on the paperwork in this case. It’s a POLITICAL PARTY issue. Note the difference in your propaganda brain.

  2. Stups. Everybody coulda see dat woulda happen. Now Asot would run Labour. We need to watch the people at the High Court. Everybody in on the plan. What a sick place.

  3. Asot can be MP if the people so desire, but NO CABINET OR MINISTRY for him!

    • Where's the GUN that killed NIGEL CHRITIAN and when will shortie be charged for forging the PM signature?? Where's the GUN that killed NIGEL CHRITIAN and when will shortie be charged for forging the PM signature??

      YOU SEE THE SIZE OF THE HOUSE IN SEATONS THAT WAS BUILT?

      THE VOLUME OF THE KICK BACKS.

      NIGEL CHRISTIANS BLOOD WILL FOREVER BE ON THEIR CONSCIENCE.

      ENRICHMENT? YOU WANT EVIDENCE? USEFUL IDIOTS

  4. This looks like it’s gonna require some popcorn as the implosion occurs. Watch your back Gaston, word on the street is this is just the start of Asot’s big plans for you.

    • @Economist, wait til you see the plans Alister “inTERllectual” Thomas, Pearl “FOOTS” Quinn and Richard Lewis have in store for KING LYADD LOVELL LIMPY JOE IMF ROMANTIC RHYTHMS WADADLI POWER CAN’T ABST HOTEL RIPOFF ABIB COLLAPSER BANKING-SECTOR COLLAPSER ANTI-UWI FIVE ISLANDS CAMPUS……

  5. It is a good thing that Asot had the fortitude and money to challenge Gaston and the ALP in court. In the selection of their candidates for election the procedures in the Constitution should be followed. However, the ALP has allowed Gaston to ignore the procedures and select whoever he wants to run. It happened with Alincia Grant and his wife on St. John’s Rural East. Well, not so with Asot. BEEF what say you about your Top Dawg not following procedures and breaching your Constitution?

    • Tabor, if I were you, I would stay out of Labour Party internal affairs. There is enough to comment on the manner in which the UPP went about choosing its candidates. Why you think Imhoff left and went to DNA.
      Asot can use the court to delay the inevitable, but in the end, he will not run on a Labour Party ticket. He is not fit for public office. I said that to Lester on day one. And Lester didn’t listen and that was his downfall. Gaston promised us that he would keep him in check or else. And Gaston, to my satisfaction and great admiration, kept his promise. When Asot slipped, he didn’t hesitate to remove him from his post as minister. Not like Baldwin who promised to have a policy of one strike, and you’re out, but never had the balls to face any of his ministers. Leadership matters. Big time.

  6. Y Gaston don’t follow the labor party constitution n have a convention, n then call the election. he thinks this is how he booted out the other one from Johnson n gave the spot to his wife

  7. @ CHARLES TABOR

    Do not get too excited. If Asot runs on ABLP ticket , Asot will win and still a win for ABLP

    • PHILLIP. G I am not getting excited. I am just taking an objective look at the situation. The court has finally set the record straight with respect to process of selecting candidates according to the rules of the ALP Constitution. Gaston has gotten away in the past by just handpicking his choices. Asot took the matter to court and the process should be now clear to Gaston. The court cannot tell you who to select, but it can tell you the process that must be followed in the selection. Whether Asot is on the ALP ticket or he runs as an independent is of no significance to me. The ultimate result will be the same i.e., the ALP will lose the election. Antigua people fed up.

      • Keep Dreaming. Mind your pressure on election day. Make sure you are prepared for the worst.

  8. Is Asot trying to ruin the party? He’s ancient history. It’s about time for the constituents to take to the street in a mass protest, demand Asot to resign NOW. He’s wasting everybody’s time in this power trip of his. Sir, it’s time to go home to your loving wife, the sweatheat of your turbulent lil3

  9. Outstanding result again. Let’s see how our Prime Minister reacts to this?

    Will he ignore the findings of the court and continue to ignore his cabinet colleague?

    WHERE’S MY POPCORN 🍿 AND MY BEER 🍺 …?

  10. Asot, lives to fight another day!

    The ABLP is shaken to the core. In my opinion, and to me, this riff has being in the making for several years! Da #Domino_Affect!
    This is one reason, why the PM is being reluctant, to set the date for the general election(a permanent date must be set).
    Asot helped to build the #New_Labour with his monies and the expertise! He will not go quietly, into the night.

    This is a #Dog_Fight!

    …Bark! Bark Tap Dawg! Bark!
    …Asot clap_whip a talk!
    …Two moh lash! Just two!
    …Waddap Wap! Waddap Wap!
    …And, just lakkah dat!
    …de #Shape_Shifter
    …jump outta de #Top_Dawg mouth
    …Papi! And, run fram Cedar Grove
    …to de pineapple grove!
    …all de way round south!

    • Gaston, you getting it. A ha. You getting. Yes Sah. You getting. I know. You getting. Asot min tell you so.

      Somebody told you to leave Asot alone. But you playing big and ram you goat any how you want.

      You getting. A ha. You getting. Yes man. You should min listen Gaston. But you think you big and strong.

      You were warned not to trouble de man. But you get angry because he ask you one question.

      You getting Gaston. You getting it. Yes sah. All de man ask you. Is how you get you bank book so!

  11. Asot Michael is using the court to delay the confirmation of Rawdon Turner.

    However, this too shall pass.

    The ABLP will correct any procedural breaches that may have existed in the appointment of Comrade Turner and move immediately thereafter to confirm him as the ABLP candidate for St Peter, at the next general elections.

    We maintain that Asot Michael will not be a candidate on the ABLP slate at the upcoming polls.

    • @Gaston…Papi que paso amigo⁉️

      —School pickey_neargah say,
      Asot bad lakkah sea sal, wen U pour um, pan #leach! Dem vomit up ebrie ting, dung to the #Free Disco_Dumplin and salt fish!!!

    • Well try correct procedural breaches at the level of PSC too. Enough of the elevation of people who say yes infront your face who cuss you on ANR and will be wearing all blue if upp won tomorrow!!!!

  12. It seems like Asot understands The constitution of the party more than the big talkers. Relax and gat comfy because there is more to come.
