Source: Real News Antigua – Pearl Quinn-Williams, the United Progressive Party (UPP) caretaker for St. John’s Rural North, is undisturbed by the legal action being taken against her by Prime Minister Gaston Browne.
In fact, after learning about it, Quinn-Williams promised to go to the prime minister’s lawyer, personally, to collect her letter.
Last weekend, Browne threatened to sue the UPP caretaker, claiming she had defamed him on a placard she carried during the January 5 picket of the Dunbars Agricultural Station.
Reports say he has since added MP Kelvin “Shugy” Simon to the lawsuit.
REAL News will not repeat the alleged defamatory words; but Quinn-Williams and others were back on the picket line on Wednesday, January 10, with placards bearing the same message.
She joined dozens of disgruntled Faithful Nationals in a protest outside the Ministry of Agriculture on Independence Drive.
Speaking from the picket line, an upbeat Quinn-Williams says she is not bothered by the prime minister’s attempts to intimidate her.
And she promised that, after the morning’s activity, she would go to collect the letter.

Well done your Honourable Pearl Quinn-Williams, I so admire your intestinal fortitude.
We can all recall in the past, that when Gaston Browne threatened legal action, those effected were inclined to be wary of his pursuits.
Now fast forward to 2024, Gaston Browne is still using the same tactics to instill fear and loathing, however, the UPP understand that if you are calling the Prime Minister for his broken manifesto promises, he can’t litigate on truths and rights.
UPP are moving in the right direction.
Just imagine their strength in 2028. Wow!
@Brixtonian.
What can I do but admire this lady for her courage. Fearless and has what it takes to be a great leader. No crybaby, not thin-skinned, these are admirable traits and I repeat—-fearless. To the contrary our ‘ Marvelous’ leader seems, how shall I put it, rather out-of-sorts, tetchy and uncertain like he’s walking on hot coals. Might that placard have struck a raw nerve? Am beginning to have an uneasy feeling that maybe the arrow has hit bullseye. Hmmm. A male leader that lacks cojones! Not good. The defiant lady has what it takes. I admire her. What a gal.
I could kiss myself … 😘
@BRIXTONIAN
PEARL QUINN WILLIAMS ..Will pay for Her loose lips. Please read the STIPULATIONS in the letter to Her from Attorney Dr. Dorsett . It will cost Her Attorney fees to the tune of $60,000 even if she make an apology . BRIXTONIAN , you will be next. Kindly issue your correct name and stop hiding. You are a DAMN coward. Dunce loud mouth BRIXTONIAN.
I shall forward recordings to Hon. Gaston Browne with Knight and Joan defamming Him. We shall sue the bunch. Loose lips will cost.
@Gilles
In agreement with you. Prime Minister sue Them.

Stop using various alias’
@ GILLES
aka GASTON LOUD MOUTH BROWNE
If David Dorsett was the only lawyer in Antigua I would rather go to Montserrat to hire one based on his poor performance at the privy council.
There are many many other good lawyers in Antigua who can and will defend Pearl- do you think your threat of litigation will stop them from ‘calling’ his wicked government out?
He is such a petty spoilt brat, mind you compared to how he used to abuse Baldwin Spencer when he was in opposition, this is like a walk in the park.
All the money Gaston have (ill-gotten) will not be enough to prevent him being exposed or silence his critics.
You guys think you can SCARE PEOPLE????? THINK AGAIN.
BTW- you were once GILES- its either you CANNOT SPELL your own name (GILLES) or that YOU ARE DUNCENESS PERSONIFIED
I enjoy getting under the skins of the Gastonites and ABLP … gosh, I could kiss myself @ GILES, GILLES OR GILLS, which moniker is it?🤣🤣🤣
And you’re asking me to reveal my name???
If you had any brain cells 🧠 you would be part of the ABLP political membership … oh wait!!! 😁
@ ZACKIE
Glad you came out of hiding. Your IQ is still very low. Shame on you.
BTW Brixtonian , my real name is GILBERT (AKA Giles)
@ whoever you are, you nah ready for Brixtonian; you nah witness how @ From the Sideline run gone from ANR?
ABLP *acolytes*
@Gilles. Idiot!! Sue me for that.
@Brix do u realize by 2028 most of the upp candidates will be in their 60’s the party need to start recruiting now blood .. to be relevant. No sense going in just for 1 term
@ Curious
It made/make sense for 80 year old Robin, Cutie, Molwyn, Max Hurst to still be in politics?
You minions are a paradox, when your candidates are/were old they have more experience than the UPP, however now you are already beginning to campaign about youth!!!!!
For your information the UPP bunch are relatively younger than even GASTON BROWN.
They should get 1000 protestors all with the same placard and let him sue them all. When they win, all 1000 countersue his backside.
Fantastic idea @ Zackie, I would go even further.
Everyone that has suffered from Gaston Browne failed policies and the high cost of living economy should turn up with the same said ‘worded’ banner as well.
Will Gassssston then sue everybody?
ABSOLUTELY FARCICAL!!!
He’s making this great country a laughing stock and mockery throughout the region, if not the world!
Totally agree @ Zackie 👏🏾
@ ZACKIE
Glad you came out of hiding. Your IQ is still very low. Shame on you.
BTW Brixtonian , my real name is GILBERT (AKA Giles)
WHAT GILBERT GILBERT? 🤣
@Giles. I don’t hide but unlike you and others, my only interest is my country and the damage that is being done to it. So I will continue to read the posts and when I feel the need I will comment. I am not connected to any political party but I do and will always HATE ABLP for the damage they have done to this country.
@zackie … Did u read the nonsense you wrote .. why don’t you repeat what was on the placard and put your real name since u think this matter is a real joke .. do u realize if he wins what it means for Quinn and Shuggy.. remember Baldwin Spencer still have a million dollar rulling against him
@ Curious
Again the fear factor.
You seem in doubt about your likelihood of winning- “if he wins’’.
CURIOUS,GILES, GILLES and JP is GASTON BROWN writing.
Btw, it’s not a million, it’s a trillion, stupid fool
I guess Gaston Browne has to find some frivolous way to detract from his abject failures. Noone has forgotten how dutty and nasty he was in opposition, now he’s getting what he dished out( although this placard thing is a new level of low, even for the lunatic, stem cell DAWG) he whimpers like the coward he is.
Shuggy whooped his @$$ in SMS bi-election and he’s about to lose another one.
Let’s just make sure he uses his ill gotten gains to pay for his losses and not taxpayers money.
Queen Ivena was encouraged to sing a song defaming the honorable Gaston Browne during Carnival. Singing about a $25000.00 he stole. They, Harold Lovell included, promised to assist her with her legal fees. Can anyone tell what happened to Ivena since then. The last I heard was her trying through friends and family to get Gaston Browne to withdraw the lawsuit. You see it is easier said than done. But when you are dragged before the court it is you alone who must face the court and your lawyer will not go into his own pocket to pay the court fees. I can see a Go Fund Me account being created again to raise funds for Pearl’s legal defense. I remember Winston Dereck having enough of Observer paying cost for defamation that he stopped anyone from using his radio station to make such defamatory statements. One that really hurt his pockets was the case Sir Lester took against them for defamation of him having an affair with an underage girl. It cost them $80K. The UPP needs to understand that it’s a thin line between politics and character assassination. You can call people names like Hitler or Ugly and like the disrespect what Franz did calling our Prime Minister a punk. That is your opinion, but destaining his character you need to come up with facts. Unless you do not call names, but everyone knows who you are talking about. The thing is the Prime Minister has called all of them Laggard, Lazy, Murderers, Rapists, Con Men, but he never put names to them. And that is the difference.
@ Less We Forget (GASTON BROWN)
Franz calling the PM a punk cannot be compared to GASTON calling Baldwin Spencer a
B–L-poo-r or Ant- M–.
Such utter disrespect.
Did the PM pay out, er, millions to a certain lady of the opposition or have you forgotten? I do wonder though, what other leaders in the region think of our ‘ Visionary’ leader constantly resorting to the courts. Never forget also that we live in a very small world due to technology. Just imaging those mature heads of state muttering negative words among themselves about our dear leader in private and glad-handing our dear leader in public. Where oh where did Antigua and Barbuda get it so wrong? We are almost at the gates of hell in a hand cart.
Imagine, not imaging. Typo.
