An Opposition Clutching at Straws
Dear Editor,
Let me state my bias from the outset: between Gaston Browne and Jamale Pringle, I firmly believe Gaston Browne is the more competent and capable leader for Antigua and Barbuda.
For weeks now, I’ve been trying to make sense of the Opposition’s argument regarding the Alfa Nero matter—and quite frankly, I still don’t understand it.
They allege that money is missing, yet every piece of evidence shows otherwise.
The government received US$40 million from the sale of the vessel, and there is transparency in how those funds were allocated. So what, then, is the issue?
It seems to me that the Opposition is grasping at straws, pushing baseless claims in the hope that they’ll somehow gain political traction.
With water and road improvements underway, and an economy that is creating jobs, their platform appears increasingly hollow.
Lacking substantive issues to campaign on, they are seizing on anything—even flimsy narratives—to attack the government.
If the current administration continues to make tangible progress on roads and water, I believe the United Progressive Party (UPP) will face an uphill battle in the next election.
Moreover, the UPP must confront its leadership problem if it wants to be seen as a serious alternative. Until they can put forward someone who can match Gaston Browne in competence and intellect, they will struggle to inspire confidence.
We should not and will not remove a capable leader over false corruption claims. It’s simply not going to work.
ALBP for now

The mere mention of a comparison between the Hon. Gaston Browne and “rape-and-scrape Jamale Pringle instantly turned me off. What an insult to the Hon. Prime Minister.
The ony common features between them are:-
1) they are
both Antiguans, I think;
2) they both lead a local political party
3) they have both been declared as “fathers”.
ABD THAT’S IT.
HOW DARE YOU COMPARE an erudite scholar in the field of finance, economics banking with one whose greatest accomplishments were a teaching stint as a teacher of woodwork, an entrepreneur in the renting of party equipment – tables, chairs, tents etc., and a business or picking up dead dogs across Antigua! Wheel and come again if you wish to be taken seriously.
One steals money and all is about himself and the other could be your neighbor. What is wrong with you people? Cleaning up dog helps clean the community and renting equipment is like no different to your average hustle working people can relate to and teaching trades to built your home. Do you just walk around look at every person and be like: “Chupz look dat carpenter day man have no accomplishment in life. Chupz da cleaner gyal to dunce fu something betta?”
WTF goes through your mind?
The HON. LARS JAMALE PRINGLE is the Duly Elected leader of the UPP and the next Prime Minister.
He is young, grassroots, humble, friendly, loyal, patriotic and committed.
Time will tell, but it certainly won’t be the sly fox and sore loser coz he is not a teamplayer and he is more yardie than Dadli
1. They had no claim to grab the boat.
2. They provided to receipts to trace back all the finical record of the bill they produced you should be able to lose that final balance sheet but with the sources you can recreate that final result without any issue.
3. Using taxes to fund their lawyers in a private case that isn’t pertaining to Antigua government just privately named person such as Gaston and Telemack. While that the same PM that bose about much money they have and that he’s a multi-millionaire
That’s the key points to the argument which I agree with. There are not false corruption claims when there is a lot of bull shit that is being done such as land grabbing in Barbuda. You can be bias all you want if you’re a established business owner you’re probably fine but regular working people and new generation are going to be ones to suffer after all the beaches are sold to hotels and all jobs revolve around tourism
My bias is towards The opposition simply because I disagree with the government economic policies and way of doing things, it only caters for the rich like all of them in the administration. UPP would be a viable step in the right direction in my eyes
*V for Vendetta you have said many commendable things about Pringle except competent. I have followed your comments on ANR and certainly believe you need to have your head examined.
@ Political Observer
You more need to have your head examined when you don’t know that HUMILITY trumps all, the one thing that GASTON LACKS, he is so dam pompous and arrogant, but pride cometh before a fall and a haughty spirit before destruction. Wise words.
@xxx All the humility in the world cannot help you as a leader if you lack confidence, intelligence and competence and rely on others for everything you do and say. Imagine Pringle as Prime Minister with Gisele Isaac in the background pulling his strings. I am schooled in politics and know what I am talking about. Antigua and Barbuda would be in a very bad place with Pringle as Prime Minister. Wake up and smell the coffee.
Can you break down why would Antigua be a very bad place? What policies would make that happen and who would be in bad place and what class would it effect more?
Who made the claim about missing millions? Why don’t you folks attack the person who has the Royal Family and the House Servants in a frenzy? I don’t know the person/persons who is/are involved in the purchase of the vessel so I can’t assume that anyone there is not of sound mind, so there should not be a misunderstanding over what was paid. However, that might be the least of the Money-Hawk’s troubles. A probe into the previous six years is bound to unearth so unheard-of skeletons. That is the disturbing part. For those who think that they should source high power lawyers; remember that specialist doctors are a must for that team too.
@ Political Observer
God called the meek and trembling Moses and made him into a mighty leader even after his lack of experience and confidence.
Gaston is the only leader in Antigua: Lord help us all.
The Spirit of God can do wonders. Some of the most intelligent and articulate leaders this world has seen were sometimes very inept, illiterate and dumb.
FYI all leaders need advisors and professional help EXCEPT GASTON. Pringle is not the only one.
@xxx All I can tell you is to pray for God’s intervention to help Pringle. Also, the Chair Gisele Isssc is supposedly a good Catholic Christian so she can pray to the new Catholic Pope Leo XIV for help as well. With all those prayers Pringle might become the leader that you, Gisele and V for Vendetta would like to see. Bunch of delusional people.
I am trying to think in a rational way what this writer is saying. The opposition does things in a way that is obnoxious and throw off interest in civics and politics, but wait a minute, the writer alluded to the fact that if the labor party gets the water and road issue fix, the upp is done with. But wait a minute, wasn’t the people suppose to be first priority? How come YEDA and PLH barbuda land thieves had the government going to parliament to empower these white people who are already rich? Forcefully taking lands from barbudans during the hurricane strike disaster at gun point utilizing the police and military and parliamentary legislation. But in other political personality and competency I think Pringle will never inspire the country that he has any capacity to become a political figure of any institutional capacity much less prime minister, and the chair person is more reactive belligerent gossip like instead a substantial in solutions . But then now come to Gaston, he was never a leader of any integrity or capacity, he was working in the money laundering bank called swiss bank where labor party voters were given jobs including Dr Carson green the Adventist president in antigua, seeing Gaston modus operandi of cursing people about their private business, he did the same to Lester ,robin and asot with the monies been siphon from the sales of fuel at the gas station to their private bank accounts called the IHI investigation. Gaston was given position in politics to quiet him while rappaport gave him many largesse too. He getting over into ALP he saw Lester was old and there was recommendations in the poles to have new faces to revitalize the ALP organization in the media and public perceptions. The ALP is a organization of criminal traits throughout the decades, since the the Antiguan population had just gotten independence and is civic wise semiliterate, where you can use the radio or TV to control these old people that had no clue. Gaston was the ticket of new face the ALP could have used after the upp brought so much good to the country in terms of development and media press freedom like radio and cinema and infrastructure, they had to go after the upp using ageism, portrayal of the Hon prime minister Baldwin Spencer as old and not in touch, and portraying Gaston as some young wiz banker, but of what real bank? I can remember one morning he went on observer radio to speak of banking and statistics when radio host Julian Rodgers took him to task with Gaston fighting to find his scrip to read from and literally having to call back in to the radio station a few time that mornings for rebuttals how he was embarrassed by Julian Rodgers a non banker. To me it was a inner criminal organization that Gaston got the chance to take over with a commitment to continue ALP work of facilitating the Caucasian one percenters procuring all Antigua resources, as soon as he goes into office the hadeed power station deal with Apua and semcorp water company who had ALP politicians ownership, and continue on to empower any of the fly by night white monopoly capital domination, at this point I don’t think the opposition leader has the capacity to understand and undo these travesty committed against the people of this country, the UPP should get new leadership with the institutional knowledge and capacity who can think and not directed. But it’s a total no! No! to Gaston brown leadership as any prime minister of this country, the ALP has totally enrich themselves.
