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!

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
This is a fake BS letter written by an ALP member.
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
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).
Reverse psychology at its worst.
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.
Barbara is this what you were shoved aside for?? Oh my
Hot flashes better than a bad heart?
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
The headline alone is oxymoronic written by an ABLP moron.

Oh come on! Who in their right mind believes this hogwash?
This anonymous and – intentional – destructive opinion piece is intended to disparage, denigrate and dissuade the Honourable Harold Lovell from re-entering Antigua’s political arena. It won’t work!
The desperation of the ABLP sycophants and Gastonites are palpable, and they are now stooping to extraordinary lengths to retain power – including the obvious disguise of this nonsensical letter from a worried government supporter or party member.
THIS WILL ONLY FOOL THE GULLIBLE…
The people who supports ALP have a deficiency when it comes to having BRAIN POWER. Delivering a PRIVATE MESSAGE in a PUBLIC SPACE. These sets of JACK and JENNY ASSES
This letter actually did the opposite,but actually shows what a serious threat Lovell is to these Gatsonites.
This is foolish some these people are, not all, but the majority of them..they are as tone def as they gets.
Yes,Antigua is not the worst island in the Caribbean, but they could have been way better, 15 years or so better to be exact, if we didn’t have a government that has looted and stolen the hard working people of Antigua tax money.
GB openly admitted to it over the radio just the other day, where he tries to convince people that all his family investments in office are/were on the up and up.
Well, you foolish writer, we are on to all the thievery that’s going on in this government, and if they don’t want to hold their own people accountable for all the thievery, then the next election the same hard working Antiguan’s have to hold them accountable and boot them out of office.
Antigua as a nation has brought in way too much money over the years, with its beautiful beaches and people, for it to be be where it is today.
Instead we are at a stage in the history of Antigua, where foreigners are living way better than born Antiguan’s themselves.
Nothing against any individual foreigner, but name me one island in the Caribbean where Antiguan’s are living in better in that island the the natives?
That’s the big point here..
Someone is really uncomfortable with Mr. Lovell’s return but more intriguing than the Ghost Writer are the missing ALP stools who have suddenly resurfaced after all the talks about the massive vehicle thefts which seem to have been orchestrated by their Lord and his Child Bride.
They trembling in their boots, they hear Harold coming. Look how alp nearga hab um now. A bey
“It’s truly a marvel to see how much energy you spend worrying about a ‘legacy’ you didn’t help build.
You talk about ‘optics’ and ‘vigor,’ but you’re confusing a man with a tractor for a man with a vision. While you were busy drafting this letter from the sidelines, Harold Lovell was doing what he’s done for 50 years—investing in people. The photos of our youth volunteering today aren’t ‘deceptive’; they are the direct result of the quiet mentorship you were so ‘concerned’ about when it was happening behind closed doors.
Harold was being beaten and arrested for our rights in 1979 while others were playing it safe. He doesn’t need to ‘fold-out’ to protect a peace he already owns. He is exactly where he’s always been: on the front lines.
Before you offer more advice on how a statesman should spend his ‘twilight,’ tell us: what exactly have you sacrificed or built for this country besides a few paragraphs of ‘concern’? History remembers the builders. It barely notices the critics.”
So ar we have plenty a prophet in a Antigua that can only see things when a politics.
The writer can be a UPP or ABLP supporter.
ABLP because they’re trying to use reverse psychology or a true UPP supporter of young people in the constituency who knows that talking directly to Mr Lovell would be detrimental to his character in the UPP circle by the blue cool aid drinkers. None a ar you know who write um but it’s clear that the writer has brought out the red and blue cool aid drinkers. Bravo!
