Prime Minister Gaston Browne took aim at opposition politician Harold Lovell during a town hall meeting in Seaview Farm, urging residents of All Saints West to reject the United Progressive Party’s (UPP) candidate in the next general elections.
Browne described Lovell as a “spent force” and “delusional,” questioning his ability to represent the constituency and accusing him of decades of political failure.
“A spent force. A man who is 70 years of age. The Bible says what? Three score and ten,” Browne said. “So nothing tall futuristic about him. Now, a 70-year-old man can’t have no energy. But he’s going around telling people that he’s younger than Comrade Smith. I say better look at me.”
The Prime Minister contrasted Lovell’s record with that of Hon. Anthony Smith Jr., who recently aligned himself with the Antigua and Barbuda Labour Party (ABLP) after leaving the UPP. He praised Smith as a young leader with “energy and ambition” who represents the constituency’s future.
“I want the people of All Saints West to understand that by supporting this young man, Comrade Smith, you are literally supporting the future,” Browne said. “Why would anyone want to go back to a candidate who is on rewind? We are moving forward—he’s on rewind.”
Browne also criticized Lovell’s performance as the former MP for St. John’s City East, claiming that his former constituents rejected him repeatedly and that he failed to deliver on basic community improvements.
“The place where he came from, City East, where he spent practically all his life—they rejected him eight out of ten times,” Browne said. “He was finance minister and representative, and he didn’t see the Bishopgate Street Clinic in disrepair. It took Gaston Browne in 2014 to get the People’s Republic of China to build a new polyclinic in Villa.”
Browne concluded by warning that electing Lovell would “reverse progress” in All Saints West, saying, “It is for the people of this constituency to send Harold Lovell a firm message—go back from whence you came.”

Risperdal?? Hmmm

SPENT FORCE. SPENT FORCE Harold Lovell. How can Lovell run for election while residing in Canada ? All Saints west will REJECT Lovell.
According to Mr Anthonyson King , Lovell will lose by 600 Votes in All Saints West.
UPP the CRIMINAL PARTY.
Lovell is spent like a used condom and equally worthless.
Sandra Clarke: you better be sure of what is not in your family. My mother of blessed memory used to say: “you spit in the air it comes back in your face”. She also used to say “when you point out a grave joke what how you walk, for it could be your own”. A word for the wise. There, I said it.
Instead of acknowledging the formidable challenge that the ABLP in All Saints West will get from the Honourable Harold Lovell. Browne reverts to type with his juvenile, delinquent and unpleasant rhetoric against him.
Any of us who works in a tough competitive and robust environment, understand that you have to acknowledge your competitor/or opponent. But if you want to get the better of them you resort to your own skill set.
Name calling and swearing is just what the ignorant and uneducated resort to (and there use to be so many on ANR threads a few years ago until the well educated run dem off of here).
Gaston Browne continues to act like a playground bully; and remember, we must never forget how Gaston Browne threatened to “thump” politician, the late Asot Michael whilst he was out canvassing for votes.
Be very wary of this cantankerous man Mr Lovell
Remember, when the fish head rotten bad, the rest of the body soon follow. Is it any wonder that so many of his followers duplicate his thug-like behaviour.
This untenable DRAGOMAN has to go, he acts like he really hates his fellow Antiguans.
No wants to hear this joker..go clean up your corrupt administration GB, and stop teefing all the peoples tax money.
All the damn money that came into Antigua, and not a damn thing to show for it..
People are scared to go to sleep at night, and you out here worried about Lovell.
You should be a shame of your damn self.
Your time soon come to be booted out of office..so you better worry about your seat instead. And Lovell is not a spent shell, that’s why you had to teef the seat from him the last election.
