Political opponents are taking aim at the man who wants to be this country’s Minister of Education.
United Progressive Party candidate Franz deFreitas is the subject of ridicule from the ruling Antigua Barbuda Labour Party for incorrectly spelling the word “grateful.”
This audio clip of the potential minister on Observer has been making the rounds of ABLP radio and social media. Listen here:

Did this guy graduate from some kind of school? How did he get through? Chuups.
I graduated from university with honours and sometimes have problems spelling words. Thankful for spell check and the ability to recognize when the spelling may not be right. Some people’s brains are wired to math and science and others to languages. Few are wired for both.
I agree. Even if a person is reasonably good with the language, one still has to, for example, reread one’s writing a couple of times to write to perfection. When in a hurry, it’s easy for an error to slip through. The human brain makes mistakes sometimes. What’s important is what plans do they have to address the issues and perfect the eductation system if any? How do those plans compare to those of the other two parties?
Did you do an article on the PRIME MINISTER stumbling on the word THESAURUS.
That, like this is a non-story.
In the meantime, we still don’t even know who forged the Prime Minister’s signature.
ANR, do you care!
Gaston Browne :The word is PROTOCOL,NOT PRADACAL. GASTON,DO YOU WANT TO GET YOUR FORGED SIGNATURE BACK? JOKE OF THE CENTURY,SOMEONE THEIF FROM YOU,YOUR SINATURE.A YOU SAY SO,LAUGH PEOPLE,LAUGH.
U spelt signature incorrect. Lol
it was intentional !!
Wow!!
You have never misspelled a word?
Let’s talk issues!!
Alp needs to stop raping the country..
Too many people, suffering and catching hell.. antigua needs a change.
Is this really what we are focusing on?
*Gas prices are soaring
*people are un/underemployed
*no water in our pipes
*Stress is causing a lot of people to have mental breakdowns.
And this is where we are placing our energy.
How many people out there can say they have encouraged 3rd formers to write CXC exams. I planned on letting my child write exams from 4th form but because of Franz’ encouragement he started in 3rd and passed his two subjects and continued from there. He has not finished from school as yet however, he already has the minimum qualifications required to enter the world of work in Antigua & Barbuda.
So I am GRATEFUL to Franz.
Give me Franz (someone who actually cares for our youth) any day over a educated pretentious fool.
Rome is burning but this is a headline. I guess words like CHANSPARENCY and CHEASURY are in the English dictionary since that’s how the DAWG can pronounce them.
So true. I wonder if anyone close to the PM has ever been brave enough to tell him about all dem CHeeeees he always talking bout. Surely, the learned and proper English language expert Cutie Benjamin must has corrected the PM, in private of course.
Chust me, they follow his prodigals.
The man is human anyone can make a mistake just like one alp minister telling people close your eyes and see what the ALP has done in this country close your eyes
Greatful grateful one and the same. Grate…you are getting on my nerves. Great… you are doing wonderful things
Only shows that the DUNCE ELEMENTS, MURDERERS , PEDOPHILES etc.are attracted to UPP. FRANZ is just an EMPTY VESSEL with lots of noise. Hence the results of 2023 election.
ABLP. will win ALL 17 seats. LANDSLIDE VICTORY for ABLP.
The latest poll
UPP 12 SEATS
ABLP 4 SEATS
BPM I SEAT
UPP WINS BY A LANDSLIDE
ERIC THE RED CRIES FOR A YEAR AND A HALF
Annie, you know that poll is false. It’s made up and false.
By the way ERIC (THE RED) I just heard that Asot Michael will continue as the ALP candidate in St Peters. If that is in fact the case, nobody should take Gaston Browne serious going forward after his many pronouncements that no way Asot Micheal will be a candidate on the ALP ticket while he is in charge. I am patiently awaiting the SPIN of people like you, BEEF, TENMAN, TANNY ROSE, JUST SAYING, SMH, FROM THE SIDELINE, HMMMMMMM and RAS SMOOD on Gaston Browne’s about face turn from all his pronouncements about Asot not running on his ticket.
@Charles Tabor..,🤣a wah u ah put me innah Tabor🤣🤣⁉️
While the Saga is interesting, the UPP still have a lot of work to do, especially with the young people.
This Asot/Gaston Saga was obvious three(3) years ago. Gaston, MUST compromise with Asot, and Asot still may challenge him at the ABLP Convention, if Gaston is confident in holding it.
Asot has being publicly humiliated by the PM, and in Asot world, he does the humiliating. Asot is willing to take Labour down, as his revenge and the ABLP stalwarts cannot afford to let this happen. Asot Michael is not Vere Bird III.
Now, I’m just speculating! Let’s see what transpires and which direction(s), the factions go after they leave the #CrossRoad!
I, for one would love to see DNA begin to gain some momentum.
@ CHARLES TABOR
You heard the Prime Minister said that is NOT true. He also said that SERPENT is a DAMM LYAD. Since when Tabor believe what SERPENT spew on the radio. Tabor 17 seats for ABLP. Tabor take a look at the UPP Candidates…..Who will vote for the UPP CANDIDATES. Harold Lovell is a ” SPENT FORCE “.
By the way ERIC (THE RED) I just heard that Asot Michael will continue as the ALP candidate in St Peters. If that is in fact the case, nobody should take Gaston Browne serious going forward after his many pronouncements that no way Asot Micheal will be a candidate on the ALP ticket while he is in charge.

A@anna why are you such a follow after me. Were you bullied in school? Do you have self confidence issues?
Poor you, just saying. You are just upset because you cannot control the narrative.
Get over it!
I dare you to share the ABLP list of achievements!
It is one line SELF-ENRICHMENT!
Annie, do you have a “life”? Chuups.
@Tabor…the most I will bid you is a good weekend.
Good weekend to you as well JUST SAYING.
@ERIC (THE DEAD) RED: Which GBLP MINISTER,HELD ON TO A CLIENTS CHECK FOR YEARS.THE PROPERTY WAS SOLD AND HE GOT THE FUNDS ON BEHALF OF HIS CLIENT.HE KEPT THE MONEY AS IF IT BELONGS TO HIM.SHE SUED HIM AND THE DAY THE CASE WAS CALL IN THE HIGH COURT.HE MET THE LADY AND HER LAWYER ON THE STEPS OF SAID COURT AND GVE HER A BANK DRAFT FOR THE AMOUNT.THE LADY IS FROM SWITZERLAND.THE PROPERTY IN QUESTION WAS IN JOLLY HARBOR.SO IF YOU LIB INNA ONE GLASS HOUSE NO THROW TONE (ANTIGUA LANGUAGE).

SWOOSH
BY THE WAY, WHAT IS GASTON’S PLAN.
YES, YES, IT IS TO RAISE THE PRICE OF GAS. EVEN THOUGH THE CEO OF WIOC TOLD US THAT WE HAVE SIX MONTHS SUPPLY LEFT
EVEN YOU HAVE TO ADMIT THAT GASTON BROWNR DON’T LIKE BLACK PEOPLE
SWOOSH
Just like Jonathan Joseph, BEGGY BEGGY FRANZ did not skip a beat so we know it was NO MISTAKE. He spelled it incorrectly over and over. Paul had to sheepishly pull him up on air!
The shadow Education minister CAN’T SPELL!!!
Shadow Agriculture Minister CAN’T FARM!!!
shame and disgrace!!!!!!!
PRATACAL
TEACHER TO GASTON : A UM
THE WORD IS PROTOCOL.
With all that’s going on in this country spelling a word is important you idiotic wannabe. Shame on you. Isn’t the increase in gas price more important than spelling? You so very much sick me tumuck. So here’s what, we prefer people who can’t spell to lead us because we yearn badly for caring and passionate representatives like Franz because all the members of this government are doing is robbing and abusing us. We will NEVER EVER forget tear gas Sunday August 8. Franz and Mr Lovell would have never tear gassed us. So you need to stop being a fool, an idiot and rescue this country from ABLP.
Ask some of these government minister’s to write a letter, without their secretary to punctuate and spell check and many of you would be surprised at the outcome.
Eric the Red – a white Pedophiles and top businessman is one if the main contributor to ABLP. That deep pocket is who APLP depending on to finance the election.
Franz spelled the word INCORRECTLY and CONFIDENTLY at least 4 times. What dumbo clown!!! Spent WASTED YEARS buidling up Trump country and come back to Antigua unable to spell? What was he busy doing all those years? COLLECTING FOOD STAMPS or something?? A pitiful and shameful disgrace and a PUPPET/PROP being used only because of the unfortunate passing of Mr. Burton! A “fresh wartah yankee” out of touch with the Antiguan reality. He and Paul are poor choices for host since they fled Antigua ages ago and are therefore out of touch.
Franz the word is GRATEFUL!!!!!!!
