Prime Minister Gaston Browne has hit back at St George MP Algernon “Serpent” Watts, calling his threats of legal action over recent comments a fabrication and attention-seeking.
Browne’s fiery response came after Watts denied accusations that he called for police to kill gang members and announced plans to sue the Prime Minister for defamation.

Browne dismissed Watts’ claims, referring to him as a “clueless nicompoop” who is fabricating the issue for attention. “I said that ‘Serpent’ irresponsibly tried to dissuade the gang members from meeting with me by peddling propaganda, warning them that I was seeking to entrap them so that the police could lock them up,” Browne stated.

The Prime Minister did not mince words, labeling Watts a “cold, heartless buffoon” for his actions. “Bring it on!” he added, indicating he is ready to face any legal challenge.
This latest exchange escalates an already heated dispute between the ruling party and the opposition, with both sides trading sharp words over serious accusations.
Watts remains backed by the United Progressive Party (UPP), while Browne continues to stand firm on his original stance, accusing Watts of spreading propaganda to stir controversy.

@ Gaston Brown….

U R A DAM BASTARD, an awful human being. A just come who thinks of yourself more than you ought to, and as old people say, u na accustom to nutten.
What a despicable human being! How the hell did Antigua and Barbuda descend to such lows as this clown?
Instead of focusing on the myriad of problems in this country, he spends excessive time spilling garbage on his Rumshop and social media.
This man has shown us time and time again who he is. We must believe him. This disaster must be removed from our PM slot, forthwith. Smh.
Clown world
What a terrible Prime Minister and human being. Instead of reaching out originally to the UPP for a bipartisan approach. Gaston Browne is now going down his usual route of possible litigation.
He always prefers the confrontational approach.
Is it really any surprise that the country has been in dire straights under his watch …
Time will tell……
@brixtonian

He must say whatever he wants and you’re not allowed to respond!

The buffoon PM has failed the nation on a monumental level. Gaston’s “gang members” were recruited to served his political narrative and to appear as a “caring” PM. What a big joke.
Gaston should be reminded that the majority of Antigua and Barbuda are not going around with dark shades. He has sunk to the bottom of the pit by utilising young people to make believe that he has championed a truce between waring gangs.
Interestingly, neither he or members from his corrupt cabinet had the insights to foresee that our young people were going off the rails.
In addition, what has he done to ensure that the young lady that was brutally murdered at Run Away Bay receives justice.
Moreover what and how the money received from CIP is being spent? What iniative programmes are being put in place to assist disaffected and disadvantaged young people?
In 2009 the UK Daily Telegraph newspaper alleged that the Ambassador for America was named in a report
for receiving almost $1.4 million (£930,000) from an alleged fraud against Antigua’s government.
The same Ambassador applied to become the Commonwealth’s secretary general but was rejected because of corruption associated with his name but went on to be the Ambassador for America. Also, when the Ambassador left from being the UK’s High Commissioner, two antique maps of olden Antigua disappeared without a trace.
The investigative report has not been published and the Prime Minister is called upon to do the statesman thing and published the report and ensure the money that was defrauded from Antigua is returned with interest and put the money in developing projects for our young people.
The PM should take a bold step and published the report. He is called upon to be magnanimous, and do the honourable thing and published the report.
The future of those young people who were used to propagates his “caring ” propoganda are looking to his administration to make things better for them and ALP is reminded, UPP is not in government.
ALP administration has been in power for ten years and what legacy has been created for our young people?
