Anybody want to bet that the disgraced labor party or one of its minions will recommend that short shirt become a national hero?
What a shame.
Sir George Herbert Walter comes to mind.
He was the founder of the Antigua Barbuda Workers Union (ABWU) who wanted better working and pay conditions for the workforce.
Something that the current administration ignores!
Sir George was also a formidable politician and businessman in the fishing business, and looking to map out Antigua & Barbuda’s future on the international and world stage.
I’m so glad we have a highway named after him.
HOPEFULLY HIS NOMINATIONS DON’T GET LOST IN THE POST … 😉
“When ya nah know ya just nah know” words of a clapsyoian George Walter’s done get national and hero awards. He is buried up at Heros Park right next to VC Bird. You haff min dey ah sleep under one rock if you did not know this. Or is it your sick obsession with Gaston Browne and ABLP mek you so demn dense and knows next to nothing about Antigua history.
Where did I mention Gasssston Browne or even the ABLP? All I was hoping for, was that another award would be forthcoming for Sir George – ah wha’ wrong wid you @ Ah Gaston Browne Fault?
Read what I’ve actually WRITTEN before replying you idiot!
WHO MORE DENSE THAN YOU…?
He was the founder of the Antigua Barbuda Workers Union (ABWU) who wanted better working and pay conditions for the workforce.
Something that the current administration ignores!
