  1. After Maria was seen admiring shuggy in parliament, the dawg decided to get a muscle geek to one up shuggie? 😆

  2. 😀😃 How they say politicians don’t have any shame. She finally got the msg that the people don’t want her.

  3. If these reports are true, Samantha Marshall has done the right thing.

    She was ridiculed mercilessly, and put in an UNTENABLE position, due to the prior INAPPROPRIATE legal action by the ABLP party and Prime Minister Gaston ‘Litigious’ Browne.

    What the ABLP failed to understand, is that they totally misread the situation and the out and out anger of the constituents of St Mary’s South, who had rightfully elected the Honourable Kelvin Shuggy Simon.

    And now (if the rumours are true) the government now want to put up a – trojan horse – candidate to take Samantha Marshall’s place. Absolutely farcical!

    BUT I LOVE IT!

    I was going to buy some more popcorn 🍿, but to tell you the truth I’m sick of it, my ‘tomach can’t tek it no more, however, bullfoot soup 🥣 and Wadadli beers 🍺🍻 is now the order of the day, so I can sit back, relax and laugh at all the shenanigans from Gaston Browne and his merry men.

    • @Brixtonian. Get some of Tenman’s red wine! On second thought, no. Look how it has changed Tenman from a fairly reasonable contributor to one who can’t now recognize the clown show that ABLP is. Can’t beat a muscle man, so try a muscle man. They really cheapen our people and our politics.

    • @ tenman

      you and the ABLP are a bunch of PAPPY SHOW and TANNY ROSE and DONNA and LAMMING and COLIN and WINSTON and SHOUL and CJ and FRANKIE – you guys are totally useless. YOU KNEW YOU WERE GOING TO BE BLOWN AWAY BY SHUGGY.
      I cannot understand how ANY ANTIGUAN could EVER SUPPORT THE ABLP.

      • @IMF coming…, what’s the…Stop the crying now because if that alone made you cry, blood soon running from your eyes for what’s coming next

        • @tenman

          A SHAME U SHAME A NO, AND EMBARASS. AR U ABLP MINIONS HAVE NO SHAME AT ALL.

          YOU ARE AN AMAZING SPIN DOCTOR AND EARN EVERY BIT OF YOUR ‘SPINNING’ SALARY.

  4. The Hon Senator Marshall would have been thr better choice and representative, it’s a shame that the Constituency didn’t appreciate her and instead may have to be represented by the UPP’s candidate whose only interest is partying.

    I will forever defend the ABLP 25 more years!

    • @Troy A.or B: YOU NEED TO GO AND SUCK AN EGG. YOU WOULD DEFEND A POLITICAL PARTY EVEN WHEN THEY ARE DOING THE WRONG THINGS.PERSONS WHO DO THINK LIKE YOU.WOULD REMAIN POOR AND INDIGENT FOR THE NEXT 25 YEARS.

  5. One thing about the ABLP. They are both strategic and creative. They will use a UPP operative to run against the UPP candidate. Strategic and powerful move intended to win at any cost. Use your own brothers and sisters to plan your demise. I am sure there was a cost to this move and the brother took the bait. Traitors are all over…..even in politics.

    • TAXES WILL RISE, WATER BILLS WILL RISE as if WE NOT SUFFERING ENOUGH. USE THIS BY-ELECTION AS A REFERENDUM ON THE ABLP AND TELL THEM TO GO TAXES WILL RISE, WATER BILLS WILL RISE as if WE NOT SUFFERING ENOUGH. USE THIS BY-ELECTION AS A REFERENDUM ON THE ABLP AND TELL THEM TO GO

      @ Audley Phillip

      The unprincipled UPP Chairman for the branch SOLD HIS SOUL FOR A FEW PIECES OF SILVER.

      How Gaston can make them sell their souls- THEY ARE SO UNPRINCIPLED, I CAN GUARANTEE THOUGH THAT HE WILL GET A WOSSA BANG OFF DAN SAMANTHA- WE DO NOT LIKE HYPOCRITES!!!!

    • One thing about Audley Philip. He seems to have selective memory. Does Audley forget that Dr. Errol Cort who was a Minister in the ALP and trusted confident of the Honorable Lester Bird, jumped ship after being implicated in the Medical Benefit inquiry. Then he was embraced by the UPP accepted with open arm and put to run on their slate against his former mentor Lester Brian Bird. Which, by the way, he won. And that was only because he was familiar with the politics of Lester. And note that it was the UPP who forced the then ALP government for a public inquiry into the very same MBS which implicated Dr. Cort. And their slogan was that ALP members were corrupt and UPP will stamp out corruption.
      So, Audley, I hope I have refreshed your memory that it’s not just ABLP is smart in taking people who jump ship, but the UPP does that as well. That is politics. A man having a change of heart as Smarty Jr. sang some years ago.

  6. Oh my gosh!
    Oh my!
    What happen here?
    Why the sudden change?
    This is soooo funny!
    Why the change of heart?
    Not pleased with ms.marshall
    are we?
    But why, why?
    Inquiring minds want to know🤔🫣 stay tuned!!

  7. Oh please.. a little too late for sympathy for these people.. month ago before the case was even called by the judge about Shuggy, I said that ALP and it’s candidate should just take the lost and move on, because even me an outsider could feel the temperature of the people of Antigua and particular the people of SMS that they do not want this woman in office anymore, but no, they totally ignore it and listen to ” propaganda tenman” and the likes, and push forward with this losing battle, so no, I don’t have any sympathy for these people because they were warned.

    Many of us were not just talking politics, we were talking reality, but I guess these people do not live in the latter.
    Anyway go take care of your fam Samantha, like that shouldn’t have been the focus to begin with?

    It’s funny how people find humidity when reality slap them straight in their damn face..smdh

  8. The commentators here need to take a bow. Samantha throw a up a number if Hail Marys and the comments especially Brixtonian were on point and merciless.
    Her request for debates and Shuggy never took the bait
    Her land for Youth offer which was ridiculed as buying votes.
    Samantha exhausted her play book and simply decided it’s better to stay where she is, safe face and make money the ABLP way

  9. For the past few weeks the ABLP Machinery lamented that Samantha Marshall was the best candidate for that constituency. Seems as though they did not even believe what they were saying.

    That said what other lies are they pushing?
    .
    ABLP must now admit that they lied to the public saying Samantha was the best and she would easily win the seat.

    Now Samantha enjoy your cool $10,00.00 pension for doing nothing compliments the enrichment team.

  10. Samantha reminds me of Hilary Clinton. She worked hard, done the right things, but is just not likeable.
    As politicians that is a quality you need to possess. Dean Jonas has the same problem. No matter how he does the right thing, Dean is just not likable. That is why certain politicians stand out. Like Papa Bird. Anyone who met Papa must have felt his Charisma. Whomever takes over the place must be someone that the people are attracted to. Personality matters.
    Well, Samantha, one thing I know, you are one of Antigua’s finest lawyers and working together with your brother you will sure make it much further in life.

    • @ Sidelines: Good to know she reminds you of Hilary Clinton.Yes,they do have something in common.It is called being as “LAZY”as they come.For if Hilary was not LAZY.She could have been the first duly elected Woman President of the USA.She stopped campaigning during the heat of the elections.She thought she had it all wrapped up like a Christmas present.

    • Most people don’t like pompous and obnoxious persons and no one likes the act of pedophilia either. The only person who has time to dislike Dean Jonas is Gaston Browne.

  11. She is currently a Senator and Junior Minister in the the Ministry of Health.She is getting 2 paychecks and maybe more and other perks.There is something amiss by this unexpected withdrawal of Marshall.I am now wondering.What are those swines on that PIGS OF A PEN RADIO STATION ALSO KNOWN AS POINT FM SAYING NOW.The Gaston Browne Labor Party is in disarray.There is no wonder the Country has no money.Spending money you do not have and keeps on borrowing to cover such spendings.Time for you and your CABINET of Merry-Men to go,NOW.The people of the Nation and the World at large would be HAPPIEST.

  12. From The Sideline
    The two states which Hillery Clinton lost each by one percentage point she did not campaign in those states Michigan and Wisconsin
    That is your definition of working hard ? Wow! The things some people say to justify their lack of knowledge.

  13. Most people don’t like pompous and obnoxious persons and no one likes the act of pedophilia either. The only person who has time to dislike Dean Jonas is Gaston Browne.

  14. Me tell ar u dat from the beginning. Samantha wanted no part of this idiotic court case or by-election. Unlike the other ALP buffoons, she still has some self-respect, so has retired with her dignity intact. This new fool will lose his deposit. Another humiliation for this useless government.

  15. Well, well, well. Samantha Marshall, did the PM asked you to withdraw? Enquiring minds would like to know. So the PM thought that Shuggy sex appeal caused him to win in St. Mary’s South so… why not fight fire with fire… may the best sex appeal win.😂😂😂

    • In every political party, the leader calls the shot. So, believe your bottom dollar that the PM had something to do with it. Or he would not be a leader, but a follower. And as a team player she had to agree or quit the party. Deals are made in the best interest of the party. If you ask me, I cannot see from where I sit, what is the good of this all? To me voters will be very confused, and I pray for them to see the meaning of all of this.

      • When the UPP embraced Dr. Cort who had fallen from grace with Lester, I thought they were stupid. The man was a loser. But when the shock came on election day I was shocked also. Perhaps this is something similar. We will see.

  16. I am paid to say whatever they want me to say. Gaston Browne is my leader and he owns me.

    Gaston Browne can do no wrong.
