Gd mrn ANR. Please post on your portal. Thanks in advance!!Dear Editor
Undoubtedly, Antigua is definitely a gem in the Caribbean and it is not by accident that the Hon Gaston Browne has being elected as the leader of this beautiful country.
Infact, I would dare say that it was by devine intervention during the country’s last election that allowed him to become prime minister, of which I think he well deserved.
Since 1981, our country has witnessed 3 heads of state from the Labour Party and each head has displayed their own leadership style of accomplishing their goals towards the development of our twin island state.
The Hon V C Bird, the Father of the nation, started off by acquiring lands from Moody Stuart, installing water pipes and replacing sugar cane with tourism as the main source of revenue towards the nation’s GDP.
The Hon Lester Bird subsequently, transformed the landscape to a modern Antigua, focusing on the port of entries and introducing Heritage Quay as a duty free shopping plaza for the tourists
The Hon Gaston Browne has now taken it to the next level. He is now transforming the nation into an Economic Powerhouse. So far, we have seen under his tenure, 2 international airports been furnished. One in Antigua & the other in Barbuda. The upgrade of the sea ports & Heritage Quay to accommodate Megaton ships. We have also seen hundreds of climate resilient houses been built. Several advance medical procedures has also been introduced including laparoscopic procedures & kidney transplant at SLBMC and the construction of a university offering higher tertiary education. Of course the list can continue.
Kudos must be given to all 3 leaders but PM Browne in my view stands out to be the best. It would be remiss of me if I do not give him his flowers now. So, here is a tribute in poetry to the Hon Gaston Browne …
As I look back from where this nation came from
And seeing the strides it has made under ABLP.
I am concluding that political parties like the UPP
Should be dumped in the bins of our political history.
There’s no doubt that ABLP is a great institution,
With Gaston Browne at the top;
He is not only a force to reckon with
But a force, his opponents cannot stop.
It is from the bowels of poverty, PM Browne came from;
And has elevated his way to the ‘ UN ‘;
His speeches has earned him standing ovations
And has given global recognition to this nation.
Undoubtedly, PM Browne is a great leader,
Among his peers, he stands out to be the best.
His detractors and haters cannot match him
Neither are they qualified, to put him to a test.
Certainly, God has blessed him with some immense qualities,
Such as a foresight and an impeccable vision;
With these qualities he is taking us to next level
As he empowers the residents of this nation.
So let’s join in solidarity and be vigilant
And pray that God continues to bless him;
So that he will have the health & strength to lead this country
For many many more years to come.

TWO INTERNATIONAL AIRPORTS? IS THE WRITER SAYING THAT V.C. BIRD AIRPORT GAINED INTERNATIONAL STATUS UNDER PM BROWNE? I REALLY DON’T KNOW WHO IS UP WHOSE REAR….BUT PLEASE STOP IT.
THEY ARE EATING THE DOGS
THEY ARE EATING THE CATS
THEY ARE EATING THE PETS OF THE PEOPLE IN ANTIGUA AND BARBUDA
De world Boss surely deserves his flowers. Under him leadership & proper representation matters…. He has made every local Antiguan and diaspora proud. Big up PM Browne!!
Earlier in his career I predicted he was going to be a great politician and leader. He is still head and shoulder above any politician in Antigua in terms of ability. He has made great decisions. However, I don’t like his tones , don’t like the way that he has set out himself and his son to get rich at the expense of this nation.
I still think that if Gaston Alphonso Browne , but his head down and put Antigua first the sky will be the limit.
I don’t like how he talks negatively to people as well. So on one hand I applaud him and on the other I wish he could change his ways. It is not too late.
Which one of the 3 while in government acquired millions? Which ones focused on helping the people only in their duties?
If all of them did not abuse their position in no way at all, then I congratulate all three. If any of them violate their duties, misappropriate, committed larceny by trick, continuous larceny, fraud and any crime of moral turpitude against the public, then I cannot give flowers to that person.
Investigation and God knows the truth. But for those politicians who have met these requirements in ABLP and UPP, thank you.
Gaston Browne is the best prime minister that Antigua & the region has ever seen.
The 4 prime ministers in order of performance
1st Gaston Browne
2nd VC Bird Sr
3rd Lester Bird
4th ????????????? Cant find
The radar seems not to be picking up the 4th prime minister –
@ Frankly Speaking wholeheartedly supports Gaston Browne’s poor Premiership, when he clearly states:
“…[I] don’t like the way that he has set out himself and his son to get rich at the expense of the nation …”
@ Frankly Speaking goes on to CONDONE Gaston’s behaviour by saying:
“…and on the other [hand] I wish he could change his ways …”
This just goes to show that not only is he an out and out Gastonite, but also that the Prime Minister will be forgiven ANY poor decisions come what may.
Is it any wonder or surprise that Browne has been in charge for over a decade?!?!
The critics and the haters like Brix will of course have so many bad thing to say about the man. A man whom others outside of Antigua and Barbuda praise for his leadership on so many fronts, but especially as it come these days on the issue of Climate Justice and previously chaired the Caribbean Community effort in the fight of D-Risking, saving our banks from losing corresponding banking services with the US Banks.
But for me Gaston Browne earned his flowers when he took Barbuda through Irma and when he took the entire country through Covid. Just seeing how he spared no dime to take care of the Barbudans and evacuated an entire Island population. His speech thereafter at the UN that prompted the General Secretary to come and pay a personal visit to the Island. The very emotional welcome he got from a group of Barbudan children at the Airport brought tears to his eyes. I mean, ever since he took the reign he had one victory after the other. Starting with WIOC. And now he even placed a Barbuda International Airport in his cap. I don’t know what we are waiting on to give this man his flowers, but he has earned them a long time ago already. He was awarded an honorary doctorate degree, but he never really carried that on his sleeve. he was last again honored with a Humanitarian Award from a prestigious US University, but even that didn’t move him. It is time to call him. Sir, Dr. The Honorable Gaston Alphonso Browne.
Take a bow Sir, we know you are humble.
@ Less We Forget [You], may I also highlight your ignorance and lack of brain 🧠 matter (as always):
“The critics and haters like Brix (😁) will of course have so many bad things to say about the man 🥸”.
Please may I remind you once again, what was ACTUALLY said, was by a Gaston Browne acolyte – just like ya fool fool self!
I GIVE TO YOU BOSS, YOU ARE A REAL GLUTTON FOR PUNISHMENT … 👌🏽
Furthermore with your foolishness @ Less We Forget [You]:
“But for me Gaston Browne earned his flowers when he took Barbuda through [hurricane] Irma …”
Well if ah so, where’s Barbuda’s $1 million relief fund gone???
EXPLAIN DAT!!!
I can pick your nonsensical rhetoric apart any day of the week … you are the gift that keeps on giving.
I BET I MEK YOU CHANGE YOUR NAME AGAIN 🤣
Before you give anybody flowers, have a read of Kieron Murdoch’s. article. Give it a fair reading and forget for a minute that you are an ABLP diehard supporter. The gist of the article is that Gaston uses an “end justify the means” approach to everything. If you believe that that is good and deserving of flowers then let’s stop talking about whether slavery was right or wrong. Also let’s stop talking about reparation and those things because to the victor goes the spoil.
The point is: all that is achieved could have been achieved without breaking Environmental Laws, Development Acts etc. Dialogue might take a longer time but it always leads to a happy outcome for all involved. What happens if the residents are right and one of those caves collapse leading to loss of lives in Barbuda? would you still feel the same way? It’s immaturity to feel that one can just bully themselves around and foolish to think that they should be rewarded for it.
DE WORLD BOSS LIFTING US TO HIGHER HEIGHTS

His list I can tell you is far from being exhausted. But at least one catch the drift.
No man is perfect. And certainly not Gaston Alphonso Browne. But we are not looking for perfect men when we give one his or her flowers. We look at their achievement and accomplishments. And that is how we measured Gaston Browne and recommend that he has long deserved his flowers. Others have contributed far less to the development of this country and have been honored. And I will not call any names. But I’m still in doubt whether or not Gaston has contributed more or in a way equal as to V.C.(Papa) Bird to this country. And he has still a lot more to give. Thank God we are not bothered by the STUPID PEOPLE. While the dogs bark the wagon moves on.
Boi!
Dis labor party kool-aid Trang, Trang.🤣
@Brixtonian, I told you,you cannot reason with these Labourites. Their heads are so far up the DAWG’S derriere, they wouldn’t know say from night.
All the things that @Lest we forget attempted to point out are fallacies.
The UWI Five Islands campus: How the hell does that benefit the common man? Is it putting revenue into our treasury? We hear of 80 million dollar Saudi loan; who got that money? Who is paying it back?
The Harrison Center,like the cemetery lies incomplete and unused. Why? According to the DAWG, they ran out of money. @Forget is delusional.
Jobs? Where? Bloating the public sector? What investor has the DAWG brought here to provide private jobs?
Gaston Browne has done nothing for Antigua and Barbuda. NOTHING. The kool aid is indeed trang.

Better to Remain Silent and Be Thought a Fool than to Speak and Remove All Doubt.
That is all I have to say to you.
Come on @Forget, you insistence on supporting a party over country is pathetic. Have you any concept of patriotism? Of country first?
Who is really the fool here? Your response was as insipid and inconsequential as you are.
Refute what I said. Those are questions thinking individuals will ask. No ordinary citizen can afford UWI Five Islands, yet taxpayers are paying of the chains to maintain it. When ALP does something that is transparent, beneficial to each and every Antiguan and Barbudan, without party affiliation, without bullying and the abuse of power, then I will tip my hat to them. If it’s shrouded in deception, lies,kickbacks and ambiguity,then I will call them out. Can you handle that @ Forget?

In the decades to come, as the early beginnings of the Five Islands campus will be recalled, your names will glow brightly as its first stars.”
The graduates were Launée Richards (valedictorian), Netisha Alie-Grant, Jerushah Baynes, Shanique Gumbs, Marsha Lay-Jarvis and Lakiesha Mack.
All these are local youth coming from POOR parents who would not have had the money to send their child overseas to study.
That is the bullshit you are spreading when you say “No ordinary citizen can afford UWI Five Islands”.
It makes no sense arguing with stupid people.
