Private Letter to a Friend
Dear Harold,
I’m writing to you as a friend who doesn’t want to see you embarrassed or hurt unnecessarily.
Politics is unforgiving, and right now the reality on the ground is not matching the public messaging being put out. The media commentary, community conversations, and overall optics suggest a gap between effort and genuine support. Momentum and sentiment matter, and at this stage they do not appear to be moving in your favor.
I’ve also seen the articles and commentary circulating, and while I know media narratives can be unfair, some of the criticism has stuck because it reflects what people are already questioning. Past constituency activities associated with

Barbara Coates that failed to gain traction are being revisited, and that history is not helping the present effort.
There are also growing concerns about recent public claims, the portrayal of your return as a “resounding welcome,” the promotion of a successful youth engagement based on limited participation, and the health fair critics say relied on bringing in people from outside the constituency, many from Old Road to be specific. Regardless of intent, these are being described as deceptive, and that perception is damaging.
In All Saints West, the sentiment being expressed is not enthusiasm. There is resistance and fatigue. At the same time, Anthony Smith Jr.’s support in the area is strong, visible, and organic. Smith was fixing roads with personal resources and the help of some from the private sector in opposition, and he continues to work harder now in government for the people. People speak of him with confidence, and that reality cannot be ignored. Not to speak negatively of your age, but Smith is a young man with vigor, now peaking as you close in your twilight years.
Harold, I’m saying this privately because I care. Continuing in this race risks public embarrassment that could overshadow your past contributions. Stepping aside now would not be a failure, it would be a dignified decision that protects your legacy and personal peace. As you said in your last resignation interview, one should know when to hold-out, when to fold-out and definitely when to walk away.
Whatever you decide, I hope you know this comes from honesty and respect, not criticism.
Sincerely,

UPP forever!

  1. So is OLD ROAD NEARGAH that get them blood pressure checked instead of ASW people???? Wow.

    Desperate times for Limpy Joe IMF Pimp romantic RHYTHMS WADADLI POWER
    CAN’T

  2. Harold way is always the right way in his head. He just don’t listen to people who care about him. He should speak to Bertrand, Baldwin, Maginley, Wilmoth, Errol and other former UPP Ministers who retired in peace, stay retired and put their effort into help other younger candidates in the party get their time to shine and develop. All Harold want to do is hog the spotlight for himself, and then he go destroy Pringle at UPP convention next year. But UPP people don’t want have that conversation

  3. My analysis of letter shows the person actually think the attorney, Harold Lovell, can win. The writer displays serious fear that the attorney will win and is the best person who could give UPP the best chance of winning (based on my analysis, I would agree, but I am not a UPP supporter).

    The writer is also not from UPP but an ABLP supporter but I do not think anyone need fancy behavior and social degrees to be able to see the tactic of writer, which sadly is embarrassing that not even the writer realized it is obvious that practically everything being said in his article will be interpreted in the opposite manner.

    This is not how you utilize reverse-psychology. Based on my analysis, UPP has its best chance if more of the former returns, then properly introduced new candidates.

    If they want a great strategy, they will utilize such such. Based on my analysis the people that will have the best impact on voters would be MP Bowen, attorney Harold Lovell, former Prime Minister Spencer, MP Pringle, they must be used in the marketing of UPP for it to get any kind of traction that could result in a win for the next election.

    I actually have more information that will result in a win for UPP but only if the strategy I have is used. If not, ABLP will win the next election and after that one is when ABLP would lose. Unless the specific countering tactic I have is used.

    Again, I am not ABLP or UPP but I am for the people of the United Islands of Antigua and Barbuda (UIA&B).

  4. You shameless laboRAT!!!!
    You are so silly that seeing through you is like looking through a glass of perfectly clean water.
    Which friend giving good advice to another would do it in obscurity or anonymity?
    Wouldn’t you be proud to give advice to your friend and save him from public humiliation?
    That’s not the way laboRATs operate.
    They want to pose as genuine friend.
    They want to hide behind anonymity and pose as caring UPPites.
    No laboRAT!!!!.
    You are not caring.
    If you do care it isnt for Harold Lovell.
    It is for Anthony “Babyface Judas” Smith.
    You are afraid that the man who introduced him i to politics is going to rip off his clothes.
    You are afraid that he will be embarrassed and you will not have the lifeline.
    You do not want you water, money, free source to dry up.
    You want to continue living large on state resources and benefits of supporting the traitor.
    Lovell will bring a certain end to your good life so you are posing as a caring friend.
    With friends like you he doesn’t need enemies.
    Keep your advice.
    Give it to Babyface Judas.
    It will save him frkm public humiliation..
    We are in solidarity with the Lovell/Coates team.
    We are reclaiming All Saints West.
    If you need something to wipe your face contact me.
    I will have a grater available and waiting for you.

  5. Barbara is this what you were shoved aside for?? Oh my

    Hot flashes better than a bad heart?

  6. Mr. or Miss so-called UPP supporter it is very strange that this is PRIVATE but you idioticly decided to go PUBLIC, why are you Labourites and Gastonites think other people are stupid when you all so easily display how bumb you are.
    Anthony (Shit) Smith is a modern day Judas and will get just what he deserves. MARK MY WORD and remember the date I told you so
