MEDIA STATEMENT ON THE DEATH OF JAMES TANNY ROSE:
The Office of the Prime Minister has learned of the death of JAMES TANNY ROSE, aka the Voice of the Oppressed and Downtrodden, and expresses sincerest condolences to his family, friends and all those who regarded him highly for his political pronouncements.
JAMES TANNY ROSE set out to win hearts and minds by his almost daily presentations on several radio talk-shows, and succeeded brilliantly by his persistence and clarity. He was considered dangerous by those whom he opposed, and loved by thousand others for the same reason. He could think and he could speak, and he was relentless in his ambition.
JAMES TANNY ROSE was clearly one of Antigua and Barbuda’s most effective Radio Talk-Show presenters on account of his keen intellect and incisive examination of issues that resonated with all. He was a self-appointed activist who, for ten years, was unrelenting in his pursuit of the return of the Antigua and Barbuda Labour Party to electoral victory.
JAMES TANNY ROSE was fearless and un-deterred by criticisms. He believed that his cause was pure and his mission righteous. He told Prime Minister Browne, with whom he enjoyed a mutual friendship, that he evidenced the leader’s genuine love for the people of Antigua and Barbuda, which ennobled his pursuit and defense of the Government which he helped to win re-election.
JAMES TANNY ROSE felt the tug of history and the ambition to play a role in it. He has made history and has helped to shape an emerging Antigua and Barbuda, on the verge of its 42nd Anniversary of Independence. May his spirit live on, and may the legacy which he created be preserved.
May his soul rest in eternal peace.

Like him or not, Tanny Rose was a remarkable figure who was never afraid to speak his mind even when it was likely to ruffle some feathers. He was very outspoken, yet he held no rancor or malice against those who didn’t see things his way. He was a die hard ABLP stalwart and a stance supporter of the late Honourable Sir VC Bird and Sir Lester Bird. Though he was a well known Labour Party die hard, he was friends with many on the opposite side of the political spectrum. Truly a great Antiguan and Barbudan. Rest in peace Tanny. You have played your part well. You are gonna be missed on the airways.
Such a soul cannot rest. Lets get real people!!!!
Boy aru just let politics tun aru trupit, trupit, and evil. Not even in death you all can put aside the nonsense. No worries. You and your family will get their share of grief. Like him or not, there comes a point where maturity must prevail.
PM you seem to have forgotten his Christmas Feeding Program for the old folks. He was always begging for them and he also made sure he called Social Security to find out when the pensioners could expect to receive their pension. He really fought for the downtrodden. He would make a case for them he needed help. And when it comes to his fight for justice for Andrea Hughes he was a voice on the radio that constantly called out for justice. There is so much good to tell about Tanny’s work. I didn’t see eye to eye on some of his views especially when it came to labour relations issues but, I respectfully disagreed with him. May his soul rest in eternal peace.
May his soul rest test in peace. He was a major player and contributor for the stewardship of the ABLP. He was fearless, strident, and unabashed the furor his statements provoked. Every party needs a Tanny Rose. He was loved by many, despite the disdain for him by some members of the opposition. He held his own, always. He was unwavering in his support for workers’ rights and compensation. God bless his work in our democracy. His name will be etched in our history books.
“Every party needs a ….” Please get real! We will not say what we all know out of respect for his family but please don’t lie. P.S – it wasn’t just the opposition who had an issue, check within the alp. SMH.
Condolences to his family and friend’s, Will miss hearing his voice especially his willingness to speak truth. You may disagree with him but never doubt his willingness to debate. He pushed to ensure that persons, especially those in the media space grew. Keep hoping that the info is wrong and tomorrow I will hear him call in again.
A few persons would have been ABLP activist as well if they were paid that kinda money monthly like what Tanny Rose was getting. He didn’t do it for free.
I pray he had the opportunity to repent before he passed.
Not even the devil wants him in hell.
“Will miss hearing his voice especially his willingness to speak truth.”
If you mean his truth, then fine. He destroyed the lives of so many persons while speaking his truth about them, which they never know about themselves. He was a very willful and spiteful man. Some persons have not recovered their lives after one of his vicious and mendacious attacks.
And let’s cut the crap about speak no ill of the dead. When Hitler died, do you think the Jews wished him a peaceful rest?
That is why these people do hateful things to other people. They know they can guarantee their pull back from a call for retribution as we sanctimoniously wish their evil souls a peaceful rest.
CONDOLENCES TO THE FAMILY AND FRIENDS OF THE MAN NAME TANNY ROSE FROM THE MUDD.REST IN PEACE.
James Tanny Rose was everything people say about him, and his greatest contribution to his party was his loyalty, through thick or thin, bad and good, he was right up there or down there with ALP. That is the most one can say because you know his Voice!
