Next time you fly into Antigua you might get a view, depending on approach, of the new Chinese village…if not drive over (very near cargo area) and take a look. Been to look 3 times and today’s visit was an absolute confirmation in my mind that “temporary” residence does not apply. Concreted driveways, garaged vehicles, landscaping, banana trees, vege patch, concreted walkways, Chinese made solar heaters…the works. They wake up to a waterfront view of Jumby Bay and coastline (which they will surely wipe out of every living creature that moves or crawls). Life is really good for the so called temporary workers and management. Went up there because I reliably heard that the Chinese are now catching all breeds of sea turtles. I also heard that the lobster exporting Chinese are now buying boats for locals to use to wipe out the lobster population. Anyone with working eyesight can see that the power plant is nothing more than a junk heap of equipment that has had its’ time…I dread to think what the quality (and money rip-off?) of the new terminal will be like. V B III really is an inspiration to those of us who care about freedom, integrity and the survival of this country.

Bugger them all

you mean burger them all for sure... bugger is a bad word..has to be burger because as far as chef knows from his internships at Mc.Donalds and burger king.a burger is where you stick a piece of hot meat between 2 bun's and top it of with condiments..... :oops:

o my now now that Chef think's about it maybe you are right bugger them all. seriously VC3 you can't go around telling all politicians to bugger off and get to work that is rude. even if it is likely true that we got shafted by Shoulin and his gang, screwed tightly with a rusty sheet rock srew by the Chinese, and nailed by the UPP on the WPP and so on .. anyway VCB3 promise chef you will not use such language again today

**THE GODFATHER** » 2012-06-05 20:35

Skyewill, you have an opinion an I have my own, I make my comparison accordingly, and that you can never change. I know my judgment of the Lone Wolf is the correct **sment, he is no different. Also, why did he stay in exile so long....28 years.

I suggest if you have nothing to say keep your bleeping mouth shut!

**Vere C. Bird III** » 2012-06-05 20:07

Think the Lone Wolf Protesters have a motto right there!! :lol:

Bugger them all especially the one's that want us to do their work for them and bring them empirical evidence on the generators.

**Vere C. Bird III** » 2012-06-05 19:52

Any politician that expects me to follow the laws that they passed in Parliament then breaks them or has no comment when the law has been broken but to say "I need empirical evidence that the generators are old" needs to be fired that is their job to find out, not the public's. So what was all that nonsense about oath of office to preserve and uphold the law Eye Candy, or Window Dressing? The generators from my untrained eye looks like junk, but the Lone Wolf is solely concerned that the UPP Government has broken the laws under the Finance and Administration Act with the Chinese assistance and had the laws been followed we would not be in the mess we are presently in with politicians from both parties leaping over tall buildings in a single bound to brown nose the Chinese because the average citizen is asking "what did we get for US$47,000,000.0 0 can we see the documentation".

**skyewill** » 2012-06-05 19:17

vb3 at least stands on for something and I disagree with my father all the time so what is your point @ rupert j...idiot!

**skyewill** » 2012-06-05 19:12

VB3, are you saying that since they have been doing us, it's our turn to do them???..DROP EM....LMAO

**skyewill** » 2012-06-05 19:10

You have a point and this time it's not on your head. This show is better than a comedy show on HBO

**skyewill** » 2012-06-05 19:03

What the hell does that have to do wit VB3? You are a fake Godfather becuase the real one would know that VB3 and his grandfather is two different people. You can judge me by my fathers actions? really?

**skyewill** » 2012-06-05 18:55

On the one brother. So can we replace UPP with ALP?

**skyewill** » 2012-06-05 18:46

I believe you have a point and I agree with your position on One China and the over priced ship engines. The fact that you are a Bird means nothing to me. I love your fearlessness and fresh honesty. Stay strong young general. A black man have no issue with Taiwan or Tibet

**Robinhood** » 2012-06-05 18:32

There will be no IHI prosecution - the deal is in the bag. Shame, shame,
what a country.

**rupert j.** » 2012-06-05 17:13

Let any one who can prove that the plant is not new or otherwise present that information to the public so that we all can see. As the saying goes put up or shut up, if you cant do that go and come again.

**Vere C. Bird III** » 2012-06-05 17:09

So now you realise I really couldn't care less for a political career, Baldwin Spencer, David Shoul, the 1.4 Billion Chinese plus Gaston Browne as long as they don't respect the laws of Antigua & Barbuda. Finally!! So its been about my attitude all along. Tell me more.

**Ian Best** » 2012-06-05 16:50

Vere it is not the political career that is stink, it its your attitude.

**UNITED STATES** » 2012-06-05 16:43

the man who calls himself "the lone wolf".perhaps the people who are standing with him should discontinue.he seems to be taking all of the credit by annointing himself.does this man works,he needs to find a real job.the people refer to him as a lawyer.in my opinion having a law dregree does not make one a lawyer.you have to practice that craft to be a lawyer.so mr.lone wolf,for what it is worth go and practice your craft.make a meaningful contribution to your country that you proclaim you love.

**Ian Best** » 2012-06-05 16:11

Vere what do you mean by "outing" Gaston ? You going to take him out (xxx him) ? Gaston be careful what you eat and drink from your Comrades before they "out" you. They cannot fathom a non Bird leading the party. Gaston stay strong, they are no match for you.

**Fred** » 2012-06-05 15:54

Vere you need professional help. You need to see a p**.

**Vere C. Bird III** » 2012-06-05 15:36

I don't want any stinking political career but to out you and Gaston as closet UPP supporters. Bugger the Politicians :lol:

**Fred** » 2012-06-05 15:25

What Gaston stated in this press release has been the policy of the ALP for almost 30 years and still continues to be the policy of the party. What all the hue and cry is about ? Vere Bird is proven to be very erratic. IF Vere Bird is serious about a political career, he needs to come better than this.

**THE GODFATHER** » 2012-06-05 15:23

Help, you are so right, Everton employment's agenda is to attack Gaston indirectly. The headline is a propaganda piece, an other leadership aspirants are involved in this plot. Tell Gaston to be aware of the xxxxr with the twist jaw, the man with the ** salad an one who is promoting the convention. Lester may have his bad ways but he is no that evil.

**David Shaolin** » 2012-06-05 15:13

There seems to be more than just this statement that is troubling the Lone Wolf Brigade? They couldn't be supportive of the ALP and be so publicly disrespectful of the Executive of the Party?

Isn't Vere Bird II also a member of the ALP executive? Will the the Lone Wolf (his son) cuss him too? Will the same stick that knock the young goat...knock the old goat too? It seems that they prefer to select their target? I wonder why? Hmmm...

**Jumbee Picknee** » 2012-06-05 15:09

VERE III, plant your seed, watch it germinate, nurture it, protect it, and it will produce succulent fruits, there are many of us who would like to support you, but you have to stay the course even during rough seas. TIME IS LONGER THAN ROPE.

**Hearse First** » 2012-06-05 15:04

How silly! If you attack this statement by Hon. Gaston Browne, then you are really attacking the entire Executive of the ALP - of which Maulwyn, Robin and yes Lester are Members! According to the Statement above, it was a decision sanctioned by the Executive of the Party!

Please - you guys get it straight! If you disagree with the Statement then cuss all of them! Don't only shoot the messenger!

**Jumbee Picknee** » 2012-06-05 15:00

Greetings folks, Gaston has no choice but to make the statement. It's politics 101. Support those who supports you, and there is no doubt, that the Chinese Gov't, Chinese private companies one and the same, are supporting both of the major political parties in our Nation, similar to what the R.A Stanford Groups did, and we know the end result of those alliances. In this case, the US Government cannot sanction or bring the Chinese Gov't to their courts, so our Nation will have to bear the consequences single handedly, and of course, the International Courts will be just as useless. THE POOR MAN WILL BE EATING WEEDY WEEDY TO REPAY THE CHINESE....sarr y fu marga dawg, marga dawg tun run bite you....

**Help** » 2012-06-05 14:57

HE** First, Everton's headline is a deliberate act. It is all part of the plan to attack Gaston who is seen as the only person standing in the way of certain senior members and their associates. So I am not surprise at Everton's workings.

**THE GODFATHER** » 2012-06-05 14:51

There are always people who assume they have a god-given right to govern, that they have ownership over the land and it's people. Lands that were purchased with public funds ended up as the birthright of their sons. Many of our lands were given to foreign buccaneers.

Now, sons of these xxxid xxxrs of power hungry lunatics want to to dictate Antigua and Barbuda's future, calling themselves Lone Wolf. There are foolish fanatics always to be found in such organization .

**Eric** » 2012-06-05 14:43

This is all Bull **, the ALP not only support and finance this lone wolf group they are in fact an integral part of the Labour Part. This stand is only an attempt to mislead the Chinese’s into believing that they are not a part of vicious assault on the Chinese Government. Do they really think that the Chinese Embassy believe their denial?

**PEACE** » 2012-06-05 14:35

Are you saying LAWS were BROKEN in ref to the WPP by the GOAB (GIVEN BY THE CHINIES /THE LOAN ).And the ALP Chairman should stay SILENT about that because the CHINESE are INVOLVED (BY giving the loan).
Are you forgetting when a Chinese store was opened in the former Dews Super market who wanted them out of Antigua.It was Shoulin.
That is the reason the ALP Chairman,should be out there putting the GOVT and the CHINESE foot to the FIRE.
THE GOVT OF ANTIGUA & BARBUDA AND THE CHINESE WERE DISRESPECTFUL TO THE PEOPLE OF ANTIGUA & BARBYDA BY BREAKING OUR LAWS ,THE ALP CHAIRMAN STAYS SILENT AND YOU ARE PRAISING HIM.

**Iamsodone** » 2012-06-05 14:02

Gaston you need to take a page out of VBIII' s book. You are the one who fell and knocked your head. You have a certain radio personality campaigning for you. What did you xxxxx xxm? More xxxd or xxx xxx going to double the amount of xxxxy given to xxx by a certain MP ?

**Vere C. Bird III** » 2012-06-05 14:00

Can someone please tell me if we had an economy in Antigua & Barbuda before the Chinese arrived in 1983? Didnt we purchase the lands of Antigua from the Syndicate in the 1960's without the Chinese, Didn't we have a tourist economy before the Chinese?

"Wha Fly Minna Do Before olde Lady Eye Run Water?"

Long Live Taiwan? Long Live Tibet?
No to One China Policy, One Child Policy and One Party Policy.

**SlyThatGuy** » 2012-06-05 13:59

On the one hand,the Lone Wolf Protesters,the bitter enemy of the People's Republic of China,love and support the Antigua Labor Party. On the other hand,the Antigua Labor Party loves and support the People's Republic of China,the bitter enemy of the Lone Wolf Protesters.This should prove to all Antiguan & Barbudan that if the Antigua Labor Party should come to power, it will stand against us and not involve itself with our concerns.

**Fred** » 2012-06-05 13:24

This statement is long overdue. It is good that someone in the party had the intestinal fortitude to bring some semblance of sanity to this situation. Why would the labour party destroy such an important bilateral relationship is beyond me. Antiguans need to rise above the anti Chinese rhetoric and understand that the relationship with China has reaped significant benefits and that its in the countries interest to maintain the relationship. This primitive idea that you should curse the Chinese in opposition and embrace them in Government is nothing but primitive. At least we can count on the reliability of Gaston's position on the various issue affecting the country

**Tobi** » 2012-06-05 13:18

Once again I'm impressed with Gaston Brown's statesmanship. Rise above the corruption and family rule of the past. We need responsible government, not a return to the way we used to govern.

**It Is Me** » 2012-06-05 13:12

Why will the ALP want to work with this present ambassador to China who doesn't even answer their leaders letters about the Wadadli power plant? Does the ALP really think at this point the Chinese ambassador wants them to win over the UPP?

**Ian Best** » 2012-06-05 13:09

Gaston you should not be daunted by the Lone Wolf Taunts. You are a statesman and you have said the right thing. You are showing real leadership. Those in the ALP who lionise vere 3 for threatening to physically kick the Chinese Ambassador and to toss him on his head are just as stupid and debased as Vere 3. Stand your ground Gaston. That is why you are a cut above the rest.

**Vere C. Bird III** » 2012-06-05 13:06

The Rule of Law is > Spencer, Shoul, China and Browne. I will call out Gaston Browne for the failure he has been as the Chairman of the ALP. If he has sworn an oath of office to preserve and uphold the laws of Antigua & Barbuda and can't speak out against the laws of Antigua & Barbuda that Baldwin and company have broken in this Wadadli Power Plant agreement then he is no better than the U.P.P. and the Comrades will deal with him at the Party Convention.

**onlooker** » 2012-06-05 12:37

Mr. ALP chairman, please go read the Financial Administration Act No: 23 of 2006, tabled and passed by this wicked UPP leadership. Just maybe the Lone Wolfs should be chairman of the ALP or the official opposition, we may just get value for our hard earned dollars taken and given as taxes.

**Carlton** » 2012-06-05 12:31

I don't care how much the ALP support ONE CHINA POLICY, what policy does CHINA support for ANTIGUA AND BARBUDA. Was the power plant a grant by Executive Order of the political directorate or was the order to wave Antigua and Barbuda Laws? Mr. Browne forget that he took an oath, which he should go back and read and then read section 47 and section 53 of the Financial administration Act, 2006, Sections 47; 53; and 56

**Dig It** » 2012-06-05 12:17

Years ago, King Fiah, did a song called "Faithful Nationals!" Almost the whole of ARG song along with him. Yet, that was just one night, as our people went back to their "old-ways" shortly after! Folks, Antigua is becoming a "lost" City! Lacks "Patriotism," "Moral Integrity," and, most of all, "leadership!" What is it going to take for the people to get "answers" on the new WPP? Laws were clearly "broken" but how many of us, including, most members of the Opposition, are willing to say so, publicly, or in the face of the PM and the Chinese "Great Negotiator?" Antiguans, wake up, take matters into your own hand, and, "Purge" the land from "Pestilence" that walketh at day and night, those with NO intentions to govern or oppose, and, finally, those on fleets with intentions to wipe-out our marine life!

**THE GODFATHER** » 2012-06-05 12:05

Gaston, most of the negatives are penned by the LONE WOLF BRIGADE, I am inviting members to visit South Africa, waving Antigua and Barbuda flag shouting "I will do it again".

Remember, the words of your grandad, former PM V C Bird, after sending arms to South Africa to assist Apartheid mercenary killings of Black People. We do not want any more Bird in government. We have plucked your feathers!

**Fed up with Gaston** » 2012-06-05 10:39

I am waiting to hear the ALP put out a statement distancing themselves from this mad man. I guess his constant betrayal to the leader and the party is not enough for the party to get rid of this cancerous element within. Gaston here this YOU WILL NEVER BE LEADER OF THE ALP. SO please go suck on a rock. I am so tired of you. Just get loss already.

**PEACE** » 2012-06-05 10:29

The Issue here is that CHAIRMAN and SOME members of the SEVEN (7) ELECTED in the ALP (BROWN/A MICHAEL/BENJAMI N/LAKE) FAIL to come out and OPENLY talk about the WPP that are not WORKING.
The Chairman should be out there pressuring the UPP GOV'T for the following : PROOF thet the WPP are NEW.
About the spending of the FENCEING.
About all the LAWS BROKEN BY THE PM BS.
Mr Chairman the Lone Wolfe and it's Leader are doing what you should be doing.Are you forgetting when you were in POWER,the CHINESE REFUSED to WORK ALONG WITH YOUR GOV'T (THEY DID NOT WANT TO GET INVOLVED WITH ANTIGUA POLITICS).It is not too late.
THE CHINESE GAVE A LOAN TO THE GOVT OF ANTIGUA/BARBUDA THAT HAS NOT SEEN THE HALLS OF THE HOUSE OF REP.
Mr Chairman of the ALP,you personally should stick very close to the LONE WOLE,they are DOING A VERY GOOD JOB.
GET WITH THE ISSUES.

**Pied Piper** » 2012-06-05 10:18

WOW...this is epic...and yet the ALP voters and supporters can't read or visualize it. LOL..were the leaders lack vision the people shall perish.

Serious now...the lone wolf and you are not the same but the lone wolf supports you the ALP who supports the ONE CHINA initiative.

NAh let me say it differently, the ONE CHINA initiative is supported by the ALP who are then supported by the lone wolf. something still doesn't sounds right.

You know what forget it I figured it out..we are the same, we support the ONE CHINA initiative. We just playing politricks with the voters who are our pawns.

**Vere C. Bird III** » 2012-06-05 10:12

The ALP needs a new Chairman. Gaston Browne has been weighed, measured and founding wanting. It is now time to do some weeding at the Convention Comrades!!

**KC. Smith** » 2012-06-05 09:04

Gaston reported to the Alp Executive that the Chinese offed him a 100m $ houseing project once he forms govt,,WHY.....? ?? Are they trying to buy the opposition silents on the Generators rip off?
This country was taken to the cleaners for 47,000,000,usd being fooled off thinking they are geting a new powerplant which has now turned out to be old , rusted out and non functional enviromental ''kill trap!!!! People are disgusted and tired of these nasty deals, the PM,Shoul and the China middle men must account to where the money gone!!! Dont push this under the carpet for a promise that can turn into a bluff!!!!

**Voice of Reason** » 2012-06-05 08:43

Gaston, u are jostling for Leadership since you were elected as Chairman of the ALP. I can assure you that you WILL NEVER be Leader. Your inability to reason, & conform to party rules and regulations & your constant disrespect of your peers that put you in the position you are in just shows us that you are totally INCAPABLE of Leadership. You are not a Uniter you are a divider. You say what comes to "mind" without any thought to the ramifications.
You are bullish and you clearly, like Baldwin you do NOT have your head on & you deffinitely DO NOT KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING.
The Members of the Lone Wolf have done what you refused to do, because you are clearly in bed with the UPP you refuse to admit that the power plant is OLD, while all the evidence proves otherwise. You decide to side with the UPP while they rob us blind. I'm sorry but you are NOT somebody that I would trust Leading my country as you have clearly demonstrated your instability and inability to lead from the front, instead you and your red shirt gang demonstrate BULLYlike tendancies and that tells me that you are NOT fit to get my vote on convention day.

**pedro** » 2012-06-05 08:37

So Mr. Gaston Browne what of the wadadli power plant?Is the ALP executive and yourself finally saying that the power plant is value for money, or you honourable men and women are prepared to go along to get along? The Lone Wolf protesters are made of sterner stuff. We believe in friendship based on mutual respect, we cannot be bought. We are curious to know what you said to the chinese ambassador about the plant, or like the PM you believe that we are trying to undermine the good relationship. Tell us Gaston, what is the ALP executive's position on the Wadadli plant? We need more Lone wolves.

**Vere C. Bird III** » 2012-06-05 08:25

Senior members of the Antigua Labour Party have been muzzled by the U.P.P. and the People's Republic of China for economic gain. Long live Tibet!! Long live Taiwan!!

**Dig It** » 2012-06-05 08:19

Although the ALP may "distance" themselves from the Lone Wolf, I personally don't believe their statements would "resonnate" well with the GOAB and the Chinese Government! It is "evident" that the PM don't "trust" the Loyal Opposition, and, members of the Lone Wolf, as he has called them "criminals" and "mercenaries!" I am sorry Chairman GB but you and I know that this one is hard to "sell" to the GOAB and the Chinese, and, many supporters of the GOAB! Yet, at the same time, the ALP don't have a "choice" in the matter but to distance themselves from the Lone Wolf, as they themself will have to or may have to work with the Chinese, if they resumes power! It is just "amazing" that VCB III and the Lone Wolf protestors were able to get under-the-skin of the Chinese officials, and PM BS that our Loyal Opposition "fails" to do for the last eight years!

**microwave chef** » 2012-06-05 08:06

Quote:

The Lone Wolf group has made a distinction that its members do not speak on behalf of the ALP, even though they may support the party. At our executive meeting last Friday, we discussed the matter and we feel that the party should make a commitment to the One China policy, and we wish to make it clear that the Lone Wolf group does not speak for or represent the ALP,” he declared

.

so that's what Vere III meant when he said "muzzled"
WPP-ALP-UPP. the cost for the WPP junkyard just went up by 30 pieces of silver. sounds about right. but no deal was cut

"ALP UPP it is both your backs chef wants to see"

**skyewill** » 2012-06-05 07:59

Here are 2 countries, Tibet and Taiwan, peaceful people, who want their freedom from a master, known throughout the world for human rights violations. Here we have Antigua, a country with a history of colonialism, slavery and brutality want to make such strong point that they support a One China Policy(OPC)? Can it be for some virtuous cause? Why? For what reason? What did the people of Tibet and Taiwan do to the people of Antigua? I am not saying we should not support one China, I just want to know why should we? Maybe we have a good reason that I don’t see or understand. Why supporting the OCP is so important for Antigua? Lone wolf is saying that they sold us junk for a ton of money, are they correct? I wonder what Antigua will look like 50 years from now. Question: Why don't the agreculture ministry allow people to bring foriegn plants and animals into the country at will?

**Hearse First** » 2012-06-05 07:39

Dear Everton,

Your Headlines to this article is very misleading! It's the ALP's Executive that: "distances ALP from Lone Wolf"! Not Gaston Browne as your Headline implies!

Please try and get it right - all the time! Therefore although Gaston as Chairman penned the letter, it was the decision of the Party's Executive - according to the said letter!

**THE GODFATHER** » 2012-06-05 07:28

Gaston, everyone should have the right to be a parent, but not everyone should be a parent. Similarly, the Lone Wolf brigade should be aware that UN Resolution 59(1) detailing the fundamentals of human rights was trampled on by his grandad an uncle. Both AWU and PLM fought his grandad for those rights, so he needs to revisit history.

I know you want to make a difference within the party, but as long as his name is Bird they assume they have ownership, very indiscipline and needs to be taught a lesson. If, it was my call, I would be expelled him the party!
