You people dont know the speech writer you know. He stayed in England and knew the details of how the BA plane got stuck on the tarmac years ago. He also stayed in England and wrote the report blaming xxxx for the mess with the little girl. So yes, Inquiring Mind, you need not tell him a thing - he knows and so he writes. He is the one who created this damn mess with the Leader. What would VC Bird Sr. say about this man? Persona Non Grata!!!

Poor Lester...it's not his fault! He has no idea about what is being put out there by him...I also believe that he has no idea about what is really happening in Antigua and Barbuda! He doesn't go to his office - as Leader of Her Majesty's Opposition - provided for by tax-payers monies...yet he is dying (pardon the pun) to become Prime Minister? Is he going to stay home and collect rent for using his office at home? This is just a sick joke! Only in Antigua and Barbuda! Doesn't he have any family left to try and rescue him? How really sad!

The best thing that Baldwin can do now is call election now. How was it even possible to have a vote of NO CONFIDENCE in the PM turn to a vote a NO BELIEVE in the ALP Leadership. The leadership has made a total mess of it. People were looking at them as the only hope in truning around this country. But what they have displayed lately is a total embarressment. The excuse given by the leader of teh opposition doesn't hold the litmus test at all. Not for a seasoned politician and not for such an important moment. He had better drop down in parliament and let an ambulance take him home. That way we would have a little more pitty and understanding, seeying that he did everything and fought untill. But not like this. Going home without even telling the rest of your colleagues. Lester will have a very hard time winning back those of us who are deeply disappointed and now distrust everything he says. Guess Peter was right to recommend you leave the political seen now with grace.

Wow,How nice! Five of our lovely new engines are down,Apua has spent more moneys to purchase new parts,and yet our hot topic is the No confidence vote,and secrets to be spilled.You people are becoming the laughing stock of the world, and the sycophantic sick upp fools who are feasting on the squabbles of the alp like a child on its mothers milk,just so you know this will not make the upp troubles go away,its just sickening to know while we suffer,these idiots are at each others throats,somethi ng must be on you guys,better go see Sister Rosa.

This sounds sick to say the least. If for any reason that the alp decided not to go along with the Vote of no confidence,they could have just come clean.Why all this drama,this is unacceptable.Mr Michael,please tell us what the truth is,we need to know,No wonder you have been so still on the power plant issue,everyone is looking for themself,sad to say,but i will never vote for the upp,that would be like putting a rope around my neck and tightening it,but with all this drama i really think i will stay away from the polls,especiall y if people like dangerous you, are a part of the alp,You cannot be for me and against me at the same time,while the upp scampish ministers are standing firmly behind their leader,in the face of open corruption,you are planning to destroy a party you are supposed to be a part of? As Vc snr would say,your kind have no orders in our dam parliament, you all are not deep rooted antiguans,you are all rich and therefore dont give a **.Time to purge the ALP of people like you.

**Inquiring mind** » 2012-06-11 16:43

Even if Sir Ron writes for Lester Bird, does'nt Lester Bird know what he is reading? Further, what I heard in Lester's voice can only by written as told to the writer by Lester Bird. All a bunch of idiots. I was an undecided voter, but I think this debacle just made up my mind for me. I man staying away from the polls on election day. Sungu no better than lungu!!!!!!!

**rupert j.** » 2012-06-11 16:04

Who else have secrets that they are holding over the "great' leaders head, first it was comrade brown then joseph and now asot, will the others please come forward so that we can all know where the skeletons are buried.

**fnpsr** » 2012-06-11 11:59

Asot Michael, “has threatened to “tell the truth” if his party does not “desist” from making him the “scapegoat” in the issue.”

Everyone should wish that he continues to be made the “scapegoat” so the truth will come out.

And, Mr. Michael, while you are telling the truth, remember the whole truth, and noting but the truth.

“Let’s fix the little things before we attempt to fix the little things.”

**THE GODFATHER** » 2012-06-11 11:29

Asot, your responsibility is to Antigua and Barbuda, not to your political party, so why not " tell the truth" you need too. You have blown their cover, by insinuating Ron Sanders is the director working on a favorable outcome for Opposition Leader Lester Bird, making you a public spectacle. They will never forgive you for challenging them.

I support your disgust, it is not fair, they view you as a liability, they are networking on your political exit. The Godfather stands with you, since it's unfair, and not political right what they are doing. Stand firm Asot!

I wonder when will it become clear to these A-holes in the ALP that they are getting under everyone's skin. These people are most inept as an opposition. The Clueless Wonder, Dr Dr BS, has practically gift-wrapped A&B and placed it back into the lap of the ALP, and they have chosen this time to form the fool.

It is clear that the ALP is inept and cannot seem to get out of its own way. Instead of a leader, maybe the party needs a whole new slate of candidates, because the current crop of characters are certainly not cutting the mustard. This country is hurting and dying a slow, painful death. Poor people are bawling murder, and the most important thing for these clowns is who will be the next Political Leader.

The sooner they realise how much they are turning off the electorate, the better for them (and us). As much as it hurts to admit it, we better face the reality that we may be looking at another 5 years of the UPP. God help us!

anonymous & Bush Doctor, pay attention to the following:
Quote:

Antigua St John's - Police interest in Antigua & Barbuda’s former high commissioner to the United Kingdom, Sir Ronald Sanders for questioning about his possible involvement in the ongoing US$14 M IHI controversy seems to have died a natural death.

**Asot-lita** » 2012-06-11 08:47

Asot is one big bluff, and just like the many other times - he is going to take a pass on this and keep his mouth shut as always. Grow up ASOT... be your own man for ONCE!!

**Dig It** » 2012-06-11 08:45

Well these "internal fights" are getting from bad to worst! It seems like we will never know the "truth" about what went down in Parliament in regards to the Motion, as chairs continue "folding-up" and some going around "in circles." The more the Loyal Opposition "spills" the bean about the failure of the Motion of No Confidence, the more the sound and look like a "circus!" Everyone is at each other throats, and, no one wants to take the "responsibility " of why the Motion was "killed!" Hmmm, how many "scapegoat" we are going to have before the Asot, LB and the leaders of the Opposition start taken the peoples "issues" seriously!

**Anonymous** » 2012-06-11 08:43

Sir Sir cannot be found to speak to the police on IHI but he is always available to speak to on trivial issues. Why Ron Sanders has not been back to Antigua since 2004 ? Is he waiting for Lester to win again to run the country from London or where ever he is hiding ?

**Ian Best** » 2012-06-11 08:41

Molwyn said that the Labour Party is united. Does anyone believes him now. Can Molwyn be trusted ? The Labour Party needs to clean shop starting with liard Molywn Joseph.

**Bush Doctor** » 2012-06-11 07:22

Sorry Sir Sir Ron but can you state "categorically" that you were never involved in the IHI saga?

That's what all of Antigua and Barbuda would want to know! Is that what Asot means when he refers to being a "scapegoat"?

Please come back to Antigua and give a statement to the Police so we can put IHI scandal to rest once and for all!

**tenman** » 2012-06-11 07:14

My gosh the picture with Asot playing with a goat has many connotations. It brings back memories of the PM's (BS) statement about separating sheep and goat. Sticking with the story's theme, the opposition needs to hurry clean house because the more they say they are together, the more examples appear making them liars

..

**Morris** » 2012-06-11 06:29

I wish Asot would help me to understand what he meant when he said "desist ...or the truth will be told." My questions are:
* Does this mean that the truth has been hidden from the public and all we've received thus far are lies?
* If the story was not printed, would he still be guarding the truth from the public?
* How does he expect trust from the same people he is denying the truth?
* Is his loyalty to the people or the party first?
And these are the very same clowns that get re-elected to office over and over again? No wonder ANU always seems to have problems.

**Hmmmm** » 2012-06-11 06:13

Ok, if Asot is threatening to tell the truth I can only assume that the statements that Lester has made are lies. Hmmmm, I wonder if they lie about this relatively simple matter then I can only imagine what else they have lied about. Cant trust these people.
