MP Kelvin ‘Shugy’ Simon Decries Disrespect Towards Opposition MPs

MP Kelvin “Shugy” Simon is frustrated by what he perceives as ongoing disrespect towards Opposition MPs. CLICK HERE TO JOIN OUR WHATS APP GROUP

He recounts being unexpectedly asked to address the opening of the renovated Bolans Police Station on Thursday, February 29, as the representative for St. Mary’s South.

Despite not being prepared, Simon delivered the address, emphasizing his commitment to speaking on behalf of his constituents, who have elected him twice in less than a year.

Simon expressed surprise when Antigua Labour Party Senator Dwayne George, whom he defeated in last October’s by-election, was also invited to speak, seemingly with prior notice and a prepared speech.

Simon views this as a double standard, feeling that George received greater courtesy with advance notice, while his invitation appeared to be an afterthought.

As a two-time elected representative, Simon insists that such disrespect is unacceptable.

He urges the Browne Administration to treat Opposition MPs with the respect befitting their elected positions, rather than favoring appointed senators.

Simon also raised concerns about the readiness of the new police station, noting the absence of equipment or furniture, which suggests that officers may not be able to operate from the building immediately.

  1. Hear hear, your Most Honourable Kelvin Shugy Simon, well said; but you must understand that the ABLP and Gaston Browne are now in their third term of office, and the disrespect to the opposition has grown due to complacency in office.

    However, the UPP should use this bad behaviour to their advantage. Here’s why, for what it’s worth sir:

    1. When the ABLP or Gaston Browne are grousing about any lack of activity in your constituency, then remind them about their own shortcomings, and how they hold the country’s purse strings to resolve matters.

    2 When they continually show disrespect (which is obviously a distraction on ABLP’S economic woes), again remind the current incumbents about the economic suffering of the indigenous

    3. Disrespect can only be a weapon if you allow it to effect your daily life. In the scheme of things sir, Prime Minister Browne’s bad behaviour should be seen as a badge of honour, because if you – or your colleagues – were not seen as a threat, you’d be totally ignored.

    4. In trying to focus on the oppositions so-called weaknesses, they totally ignore their own deficiencies

    5. And finally, your Honourable Kelvin Shugy Simon, if the opposition were so bad, why at present are the ABLP and Gaston Browne on a recruitment drive for former UPP members?

    REVERSE PSYCHOLOGY ME THINKS SIR 👍🏾

    • @ BRIXTONIAN

      I can see that you are still singing for your supper. You know within your heart that the Opposition is Not up to standard to represent anyone in Parliament. You are writing in ANR just to sound like the BIGGEST AR***SE in Antigua.

      • Hey FERNEY, how’s it going?

        Always nice to hear your constructive verbosity and ill-educated views; however, I must say that I know when I’ve hit the weak spots when none of you ABLP acolytes, Gastonites or Kool-Aid drinkers cannot reply to my valid points or questions.

        WHY IS THAT?

        Here’s a good test for you FERNEY, I don’t expect you to answer all my above questions (due to lack of education), but try and answer number 5?

        GOOD LUCK …🤞🏾

        • Fern always a chat!! Go use your time wisely by learning to be effective at your work place and stop run up under people’s post. With a name like Fern you’re nothing but a plant in dirt that will get pissed and shittted on 🤣

    • @ Brixtonian: Shuggy should be the last to speak about disrespect. Is this a case of Satan trying correct sin ? When Shuggy & UPP gives respect then he & his colleagues will return the respect that s due to them

      • @ Bluddy Bloke, maybe you can help break the ABLP acolyte non answerable mode (because the rest are really struggling).

        Can you answer any of my questions?

        GOOD LUCK BLUDDY …🤞🏾

      • Some things are being said about Shugs in his community that are very disappointing but men will be men and chicken heads will be chicken heads

  2. MPs who boycott Parliament show absolute disrespect for the peopel who elected them. Respect is earned. And you have earned none and deserve none. You are getting back the disrespect that you showed to the people of this country.

    • @ OTTO, any chance that you can respond to any of my five points mentioned?

      Didn’t think so, what a surprise …

    • @ OTTO

      OK Bitter bush minion/ Gaston……because he made you to fork out over $5,000,000.00 in St Marys South by-election which you STILL LOST BADLY with the JUDAS ISCARIOT you are still smarting…..POOR THING.
      TEK U BANG AFF AND MOVE ON. You can try and cause the MP hurt but the people of St Marys South still BACK E. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

  3. Some call you honorable, some claim you’re intelligent, they even have you as the next Prime Minister, but I guess you really don’t understand how politics and being in government works.
    You should asked Mr independent Asot who capped the biggest win and up to now his brilliant manifesto promises can’t seem take off.
    In power and not.

    • @Carvas. It’s funny how you undermine your own argument to sound relevant, by agreeing with the sentiment, that “Shuggy” Simon would be Prime Minister of A&B one day, because if you didn’t believe that very said sentiment, you wouldn’t have repeated it!

      And yes, I’m one of the biggest supporters of Mr Simon, and have repeated that sentiment on here a few times, so you can come for me now, and ease off Brix for me a minute 😂, because it is of a fact, that my prediction will bare fruit.

      So y’all can huff and puff about Gatson Browne and how smart he is, and how dunce the UPP members are, but it is also of a fact, that all corruption eventually gets punished.

  4. @Brix… Poor you .. you will be singing this tune for the next 3 elections … And since when Shuggy become a 2 term elected member. .. remind him he was elected on deception.. and had to redo

  5. Opposition MPS Show NO respect for Themselves.

    1 .Walk out of Parliament for STUPID reason.

    2 . Whenever in Parliament DO NOT represent Their constituencies.

    3. Do not understand Parliamentary procedures.

    4. Cannot discuss the issues.

    5.Jamale Pringle is trying but on rope by GISEL Isaac.

    In other words…There is no Opposition in Antigua. Opposition MPS are a bunch of DUNCE.

    • @ GORD

      JUST LIKE YOUR DUMB AZZZZZZZZZZZZ

      U R THE BRIGHEST IN THE CAMP- obviously you know whether or not their constituents are pleased with them because U REPRESENT EVERYONE IN THEIR 8 CONSTITUENCIES!!!! STUPID AND ILLETERATE FOOL.
      U N ABLP UNDERSTAND PARLIAMENTARY PROCEDURES BUT ALWAYS COMING BACK TO PARLIAMENT TO CORRECT UMPTEEM OF MISTAKES!!! FOR CRYING OUT LORD WHICH CRAB HOLE HAVE U BEEN UNDER?

    • Howdy @ GORD, long time no hear!

      If as you say that the “opposition MPS are a bunch of DUNCE”

      What does it say about ABLP’S recent recruitment of former UPP members?

      Does it mean they will get worse or better?

      PS. Don’t hide yourself away again 😁

  6. Hey Brix,

    I admit that I love your comments but you keep letting people bait you into responding? Keep your head high fella. Stop falling for the trap.
    Just as you are entitled to your opinions, so are others. We can all share the same forum and express different ideas and views. Keep posting, but stop falling into the trap.

    • @ Trap alert, thanks for the compliment; and I’ll also try and take note of your useful tip … 🤜🏽🤛🏽

  7. Mr. Kelvin Shugy has been blessed throughout his tenure as an Opposition Parliamentarian no matter what…Mr. Temper Tantrum will always need time to prepare with a chip on his shoulder that the constituents would rather support Mr. Simon and Samantha than him….thats a monkey that will never come off his back…and by the way go fix the people playing field🙆‍♀️🙆‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️…..
