Dr. Athill…come home!
I agree… she should come home & don’t let pride take the best of her. I assume her conscience is now bothering her….. The thought of protesting against the university of WI Five Island campus & now it is providing her with her bread & butter.
She can be a prodigal daughter & return home…. Our arms are wide open to welcome her home…
London Bridge (UPP) is beginning to crumble. This is just the beginning… More will resign after their convention.
@ Dexter Pelle and Bluddy Joke
You guys DEFINITELY DO NOT KNOW Dr Athill…….she DESPISES EVERYTHING LABOUR!!!!!
FYI, there was no falling out with the UPP-
Really, they bought her too????
Lookout Chet, u r getting replaced…😜
She never MURDERED ANYONE
She is not a CONVICTED PEDOPHILE
She never TEEF CHURCH MONEY
She not a RAPIST
She never borrow Wilmoth Daniel STRIPPER POLE BUS $
She never spell G-R-E-A-T-F-U-L
@SMH: SHE NEVER SAID “PRADACALS” FOR THE WORD PROTOCOLS.I AM NOW WONDERING WHO USED THAT WORD,PRADACALS.
U so right if they put a bird brain in some of u guys are u still fly backwards look how politics have some are u foolish statement
All the best and good luck for the future Dr Athill, and many thanks for your input in the party, your constituents and the country as a whole.
Like The Honourable Harold Lovell, it is never good to see honest hardworking people leaving the UPP.
Hopefully, you will keep your hard fought integrity, and not join the ABLP.
@aBrix shim poor u Pringle next .. u the biggest ablp supporter ever turn .. turn coat .. because I were not given a position.. but u love man so u join the upp now calling man magnificent poor u… Tell me it’s not so .. u gay fool .. u voted ablp the last 5 elections.. and don’t let me have to start calling your real name and records .. always remember don’t f$$@k with a dunce … I can expose u I see everything u type
Wow, that was a quick response @ Curia#%e. I thought I was fast. It’s good to know that you are hanging around for my erudite mudslinging and truth telling of the way the ABLP are destroying the country and citizens.
Talk soon @ Curia%*e …👍🏾
@ BRIXTONIAN
You cannot spin this one. Dr. Athill is a Professional person and cannot align herself with UPP and Thier DUNCE Leader JAMALE PRINGLE and the others. Richard Lewis and Bowen are next. Then the UPP will have the DUNCE elements such as SERPENT , SMITH ,SHUGY , PRINGLE remaining in the UPP. UPP is on a collision course before the Primary.
I will suggest the following to UPP.
Mr. Knight ( Observer, KNIGHT at night ) should become the UPP Candidate after Bowen resign in St. Mary’s South ). Also , Knight should become the leader of UPP.
It is about time UPP get rid of the OLD MAN COWS from around the party.
@ PAM, calling upp people names, doesn’t make what you say correct. On the contrary.
When you ABLP supporters resort to these low and ignorant blows, all it does is highlight how you all – for the most part – continuously struggle to put any cogent and constructive debates/arguments together.
I’M ALWAYS STUNNED BY IT IF TRUTH BE TOLD …
@ PAM

Waiting to hear directly from CLEON. UPP too damn lie. Especially the man cow.
Radio and TV interview coming soon
@ Well well well
I WOULD PREFER TO HEAR FROM YOUR MODDA THAT DRAGGED YOU UP RATHER THAN YOU BEING BROUGHT UP!!!
Bought her! Why do you think she can be bought? Yall are a sick set! Clean, you just do you right! Don’t bother with anyone. Your decision is your decision.
Labor allll de way baby girl, come home to papa. We love you over here………uncle Gassy will take you into the camp with open arms plus you go get lots of goodies as a cross-over
Somehow some where this is Gaston Browne fault. He probably paid her with some of the $4.5 billion US that came on the African plane🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
CONGRATULATIONS Dr. Athill you have done the best thing. You are too INTELLIGENT to join with UPP. That party is for CRIMINALS , MURDERERS etc.
@ GILES
You guys DEFINITELY DO NOT KNOW Dr Athill…….she DESPISES EVERYTHING LABOUR!!!!!

I guess the ideas are not messhing, However candidates need to be reminded of the stance they claim they stood for and we as people nees to remember them at the next polls
WOW. WOW. WOW . Cleon , this your cousin . I knew it was coming from immediately after the election. I know you were NOT satisfied with 95% of the UPP administration. I keep asking you how can you align yourself with those UNDESIRABLES of UPP. I am happy you see the light. UPP DONE / FINISHED. UPP is crazy party.

Would be interesting to hear what the ideological differences are to which she refers. One of the great feat about the ABLP, has been its ability to mesh and stick together even when differences arise. Most of the other parties haven’t yet learned how to be cohesive. They often wash their dirty laundry in public, something that you never see happening in the ABLP.
The same difference in story the DOMINICAN QUEEN CONTESTANT said about those frivolous claims made against her by some old man that could have keep up.
She had enough of Antigua’s dirty Politics. Where issues are not discussed,just degrading of persons and their characters.Where nastiness is the order of the day.
Wow!
Really!
What happen?
I wish you would let us know why you left?
Hmm too many unanswered questions.
all the best to you. You refused to be puppet to the Leadership Convention INFIGHTING!
Well, well! The minions, the DAWG himself and all kinds of mudslinging Gastonites and Labourites are out in their numbers. What is so unusual about Cleon Athill resigning? These people love UGLY don’t they, and having no facts they resort to all kinds of delusional, UPP bashing.
Our country has way bigger issues confronting it as we continue to see all kinds of taxes, when the idiot DAWG promised none, the Barbuda monies that have gone missing , the GBC debacle, another economic zone, the failing health care system to name a few.
Let’s not be distracted.
The good Dr. refused to submit to leadership that can’t even spell or articulate a simple phrase They are all beneath her. Her peace of mind comes first. Her son, her career, her family….she was not willing to compromise her values to any lesbian elitist dicators or dunce elements greedy for a paycheck. She knows that the plural of foot is not “foots” and that the plural of mask is not “maskses”. She knows not to hide her textbook content riches from the people and pretend to be poor when they come asking for help. She is fed up and can no longer do the grin-and-bear-it dance!
You as a woman decided to run on a slate wid a WICKED , VICIOUS GUNMAN AND WOMAN KILLER!!!
good to see u wake up now…..use your voice to speak out against WOMAN AND BABY KILLERS being allowed to run for elective politics
@ TESSA
You guys DEFINITELY DO NOT KNOW Dr Athill…….she DESPISES EVERYTHING RED/ LABOUR!!!!!
FYI, there was no falling out with the UPP-
Water is going up! The tax on Money transfers increased, ABST went up! Cost of living is intolerable and the resignation of Cleon Still bothers you? Your thinking is skewed!
Bwoi, look at how the ABLP acolytes and Gastonites latch on to this news, while Antigua’s economy is in dire straights; people are going hungry; the crime rate is escalating; and our Prime Minister continues to lack transparency in financial accountability.
Oh, but not to worry though, Dr Athill’s stepping down is all the ABLP supporters ah worry ’bout!!!
MADNESS MI AH TELL YOU – MADNESS!
No wonder our neighbours in Barbuda are laughing at us …
LMFAO!!!!!! Look pan dem #UPPNEGRAH. Ur precious UPP and their fracade of being united party is unraveling and here u are trying to detract as usual. There is no doubt all is not well within the UPP and ve sure as hell is Lewis loses the leadership battle he too will jump ship. The time u on her calling Gaston Browne name every post u should really check in on ur party. They about to self destruct!!!!!
Drift Wood…goo back home .
DNA hemorrhaging, UPP hemorrhaging, ABLP getting new blood. Interesting, to say the least, but some people seem to have had enough of the negative politics on the one side. You know the side that find everything wrong in what the otherside do? Even when the otherside do something good, or right, the one side will find something wrong with the good or right that the otherside do. The one side always try to come over like they have all the answers to all the problems in Antigua and Barbuda. But low and behold, some people are looking over the landscape and reading the script, and after putting the level to the line, they come to the realization that the benchmark is not what the one side purported it to be, and so they make a conscious decision to realign themselves with what in their estimation is the true reference point. One ship done sink, the other one taking in water. While some will stay on it and perish, others done get in the life boat.

@ J-man, a one party state isn’t a democracy.
ANTIGUA WILL SPIRAL OUT OF POLITICAL CONTROL IF THIS WERE TO TAKE PLACE.
My family and I are lucky, we can leave this Gaston worshiping country if it happens, unlike many disgruntled Antiguans …
No wonder people were saying they haven’t seen much of her in the constituency since the election.
I wonder if we will see her carrying Chet bags like Namba and the joker driftwood, or maby she will be heard on Chet radio station.
I would be very surprised if Ms. Athill aligned went with the Cult. Lester Bird informed us that sensible people are not attracted to the ALP. However, the fact is, Antigua is in shambles and instead of making efforts to get us out of the bind, the Dog is accused of being more corrupt than we ever thought. The ALP is a magnet for lazy, unscrupulous persons with the mentality of panhandlers. Only time will determine where Ms. Anthill stands.
It’s we the people who make up the government, not a political party, so someone quitting a political party is nothing new, it doesn’t mean that person can’t run as a independent candidate.
So if this Good Dr has some great ideas for the country, bring them forward to the people and run as a independent candidate, real smart people in this country welcomes that.
So I hope this Good Dr hasn’t quit on the real people that counts in this country, we the people, regardless of what political party she is a part of.
So good Dr, I hope your not as spineless as these Alp asswipes, and the administration that’s running this country to the ground right now, and stand up for good Governance, and the great people of Antigua, regardless if you are a independent, a UPP or a ALP candidate.
Antiguan’s needs good hearted people to lead them, so don’t quit on us like how this joke of an administration that we have in power have done.
That’s my call to you today..thanks.
This is a SERIOUS message to UPP. When are We going to learn. Everyone who left the UPP said the same message. Everyone cannot be wrong. Please UPP do some introspection. We need a strong Leader. I believe We might have to look outside. Someone earlier mention Mr. Knight . He will be much better than who We have now.
Also, at the convention let’s elect FRESH blood. A word to the wise.
@MARG
old people say who dont hear will feel. This is the same PROBLEM plaguing the IMF Party and they wouldn’t listen.
@ Big up….
SHE NEVER SAID SHE WAS JOINING THE ABLP……because knowing Cleon SHE WUD RATHER DIE THAN SUPPORT CORRUPTION AND THE BUNCH OF RENEGADES
@MARG. You mean they looking for a Trump??? That, and anything like it would be disastrous. Either support UPP as it is or don’t. You can always go to the side where there is a “strong” perhaps too strong leader.
UPP cannot and should not be like ABLP. The strength of ABLP is blind support. For UPP it’s all hands-on deck. That’s the way the country is going to see positive change, not “strong” and tief leaders.
Folks may have their views expressed, in whatever way. Whether negative/ positive, or in-between. It’s all good. Looking at this; personally. This can never be good news for the opposition party. This individual is well educated, her intellectual capacity is impressive better than many within the UPP allowing this to take root is sad. UPP needs many like her. Once this trend continues this only will weakness the UPP.
Reading the comments; I still feel some persons who supports the UPP haven’t got it. The priminister recruiting young people is a good move. Overhauling the party at this time will benefit the the party in the long run. Meanwhile the UPP stays fragile (uncertainty) leadership issues. If the UPP don’t get it together, winning the next election will be far fetch. Hey! This is just my view.
@ Independent Thinker (it)
She never said she was joining the corrupt ABLP party.
Good on you Dr. Athill
