SOURCE: ANTIGUA OBSERVER- Former Speaker of the House and Chairman of the United Progressive Party (UPP) D. Gisele Isaac says the police are not taking her concerns and reports against Prime Minister Gaston Browne seriously.
Browne has been accusing Isaac and the UPP of colluding with a Russian woman to tarnish the reputation of Antigua and Barbuda.
During an outing on his radio station on March 16, Browne launched an attack on Isaac over an opinion piece she wrote in which she said there was a time to hate which was published in the Daily Observer.
In addition to using words such as nasty nature, hateful person, awful woman, wicked, cruel and evil to describe Isaac, the prime minister also noted that she will “die a horrible death”.
PM Browne furthermore claimed that Isaac was destroying people within and outside of the party, noting that she not only went after him, but his wife and son and that she could not prosper in this country.
Isaac, who views what was said as a threat against her, said she has made a report to the police, as she was advised by acting Commissioner of Police Everton Jeffers.
“I strongly believe he’s trying to get me killed. And I reported him to the police last Wednesday.”
Isaac said having made the report, the response she received from the police was not what she expected.
“The CID officer told me to ‘be the bigger person’ and I asked him what the force would have done to me if I had made the statement that ‘Gaston is going to die a horrible death?’ Would they not have come for me with the Riot Squad?” she said.
The UPP chair noted she was then advised by that officer that “someone senior to him would call me”.
However, to date, she has not received that call.
She said she was told that what was said is not tantamount to a threat “because Gaston didn’t say he was going to make me die a horrible death”.
“So, after I’m hurt or killed, I guess the cops will just brush me off.”
Browne continued his attack on Isaac and the UPP two weeks ago, accusing them of a smear campaign in which information keeps appearing on social media platforms making allegations against him and using his image.
“He keeps putting my name in things I know nothing about. I read the Discovery papers just like everybody else. He’s not acknowledging that the investigators spoke to Cabinet ministers. No. It’s all about me – because I am quoted in an AP article as saying the opposition knows only what the prime minister wants us to know,” Isaac said.
Responding to a post which PM Browne wrote on his Facebook page again accusing Isaac, Opposition Leader Jamale Pringle and another individual of creating defamatory pages with “their propaganda warfare, Isaac said, “Why can’t this beast leave my name alone???”
She continued, “I don’t know a thing about this “d…” page. Where would I know Martin DeLuca from? I haven’t been to the US since 2012! This man is just obsessed with me now! No. He’s trying to get me killed. He keeps doing it, setting me up as a target for his henchmen.”
In his post Browne said, “They are even paying vulnerable Antiguans on food stamps in the US to picket. They were at the State Department today with their mobile propaganda van pappy-showing themselves.”
Meanwhile, Observer reached out to Acting Commissioner of Police Everton Jeffers who said that the matter is being dealt with.
“I sent that information to CID, so CID is supposed to be dealing with that,” ACP Jeffers said.

CID is dealing with that…………..LMAO…..They Probably saying she hafu crazy after she done say the world bout the man….Chupz…
This is concerning. If someone in a leadership position isn’t being heard, what happens to the rest of us?
Is this a case of political bias? If so, that’s a real problem for everyone.
I can’t believe the police would ignore her. That doesn’t sit right at all.
I can’t believe the police ignore that former PM when he instructed Antigua people to:
“SHARPEN U CUTLISS BACK AND BELLY….CHAP DEM UP!!!!
This is worrying. If they’re ignoring her, how many others are they not taking seriously?
No one should be made to feel invisible when reporting something to the police.
“…MADE TO FEEL INVISIBLE….” you say??
Well madame is a boss at that. What goes around comes around!
What ah gwa on in this country. Gisele you losing it. Some one saying you will die a horrible death is not a threat. You are more stupid than I thought. You now seem to be as stupid as Pringle. Woman just relax and keep your damn mouth shut.
well….according to the 10,000 Frenchmen, she is a horrible person…an awful human being…..it is because of her why UPP LOST MEMBERS in a MASS EXODUS. Even the 3 MPs know how horrible of a human being she is. A female dictator, nasty attitude, my-way-or-the-highway, entitled, prideful woman.
Did she ever apologize for her NASTY WAYS at the retreat??? She needs a huge HUMBLE PIE.
Gaston bringing Jamaican politics to Antigua.
REPORTING WHAT? It is all political talk. Is saying you are going to die a horrible death a threat. Boy Antiguans have lost it.
Exactly! didn’t this woman make some comments on radio referencing giving her a license because she has some people she would like to kill????
allegedly,
I’m in full agreement that Gisele Isaac should be killed.
Once completed, Chaneil Imhoff should be next!
Police State you say? Well after she was accused of depriving the Lunatic of much needed sleep over the boat issue, I don’t think that she should expect any protection. That’s just the nature of the beast.
Honestly speaking these are two very distinguished Antiguans. I do consider Gaston Browne as a brilliant political mind. I don’t like his self enrichment politics. If only he could put Antigua above self oh what a paradise this place would be.
I am of the opinion that D. Gisele Isaac is by far the most outstanding person academically and politically in Antigua and Barbuda. So why are there so much haters. The leadership of the ABLP that recognize without her intellect UPP would be weakened. Worst yet many of her own people swallowed the lies.
Secondly she is female. We don’t like strong women. The black men in Antigua are no different from those in the USA. We praise the Barbadian PM. I think D. Gisele is equal in intellect and abilities. Don’t know if she entered politics at the wrong place. I always thing that from the beginning she should have entered into elective politics. She has more leadership qualities than anyone in the opposition and equally to the best of ABLP party can offer.
Here is where she will have the edge- I honestly and whole heartedly believe that if she was Antigua PM today- she would do so with honesty and integrity. She would certainly put Antigua and Barbuda above self.
We need to uphold true democracy and stop dragging our own down despite their political persuasion.
She is probably the only person in this entire nation that would stand toe to toe, fire with fire with Gaston Browne. Most others are afraid, including the entire Cabinet. That is why she is under such aggressive attack.
@Frankly speaking you must be joking. There is no comparison between the intellectual abilities of Mia Motley and Gisele Isaac. Motley is miles ahead. Also, the successes of the UPP in the past had nothing to do with Gisele Issac but to people like Dr. Mansoor, Damani Tabor and others in the diaspora who did the hard work. Gisele Issac is the reason for the present mess the UPP is in. I doubt they will be able to pull it back from the precipice.
@Frankly Speaking- How much she paid you for your kiss ar*e response? If you doing this for free, why make yourself a slut?
