The people of St Johns North REGRET giving John the edge.... You cannot defend him in Health and what he did to Dr Joey John.. The best Doctor in Antigua ...............

Do the authorities ever check these sites when the are recruiting help. they should. so many people give good, workable advice on these forums, and we are always still in disarray. For instance,touris m should scout out a person like bandelee and consult with him on tourism matters; with the length of his comments on the matter, the articles, and the suggestions given for failure and success, usually viable. somebody need to take notice. his comments are usually non political, which is what Antigua needs right now..fairness, balance and justice. No i do not know bandelee for those who think i am stroking his ego. his comments seem to be worth noticing...

my friends came to antigua on that same cruise line 2 months ago ... when i asked them about their view of Antigua this is what they said ... Antigua was the most expensive place to shop, the people at the docks were rushing them (taxi drivers and hustlers) and they did not like the view out of their rooms or decks from the boat because all they saw was the multi purpose building and a shanty town next to it so they did not get no nice pics like the other islands ... I think our tourism officials should go on these cruises that come here so they can see and get an idea of how people are treated and what they see when they reach Antigua ... in comparison to the other destinations!!!

When i tell you that The distinguish representative (MP) rural Norht was the best choice to negotiate with cruise ship i know what i am talking about. He has the capacity and experience to deal with these matters. PLUS A HIGHLY PROFESSIONAL TEAM OF PEOPLE AROUND HIM, LOOK AT HOW HE INVOLVED THE PRIVATE SECTOR. He was highly respected in PAHO , CHAMPION THE HEALTH ISSUES FOR ANTIGUA AND BARBUDA AND THE REST OF THE CARIBBEAN.

**PLM DEBT FROM 1971** » 2009-10-03 14:58

So Graveyard John went to Miami to negotiate on behalf of Antiguas Tourism without any carrots. Next time dunce free the tourists then go and negotiate. Going to Miami with two empty hands is a recipe for disaster.

Taki ng a phrase from Vere Bird III- I don't know what he went there for he must have gone for the "free food".

**Sassafrass** » 2009-10-03 14:50

World on one!! 3-2-1 hahahahahahahah ahaahahah.

The Joke is on Antigua for electing this incompetent person to office.

Take a bow Antiguans. You deserve it.

**Evedence** » 2009-10-03 14:47

Have Mercy and VIstor, during Maginley tenure as Minister of Health, he caused to be developed a strategic plan for health, i am sure you did not know that.

**Evedence** » 2009-10-03 14:45

The Board of Directors at the new hospital is chaired by a distinguish Antiguan. He is p[robably the best trained and experience Health Policy professional in the OECS ,HE IS ABLY ASSISTED BY OTHER PROFESSIONALS, DOCTOR, LAwyer, FINANCE PERMANENT SECRETARY COMMUNITY PEOPLE ETC

**Evedence** » 2009-10-03 14:39

I TELL NOT TO TALK ABOUT HEALTH BECAUSE YOU DONT KNOW WHAT YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT . YOU ARE CONFUSING HEALTH AND HEALTH CARE.

**Evedence** » 2009-10-03 14:36

the category of persons who got training are as follows: Nurses , Doctors,(how many persons studying medicine in CUBA SINCE UPP TOOK OVER.) DENTIST AND DENTAL HYGIENIST, PHARMACIST, PUBLICH HEALTH INSPECTORS ETC.

**Evedence** » 2009-10-03 14:31

Let us agree to leave Health alone because you cannot debate with me . You have no facts. Do you know thaT there is a PAHO REPRESENTATIVE THAT SITS IN THE MINISTRY OF HEALTH , advicing on health mattters. MAGINLEY WAS INSTRUMENTAL IN THAT.

**Evedence** » 2009-10-03 14:25

KEMBA ALREADY EDUCATED YOU AND OTHERES ABOUT THE IMF, SO JUST RELAX AND BE A GOOD BOY

**Have Mercy** » 2009-10-03 13:25

What the hell training are you talking about? Who exactly got this training? Opening of a sanitary landfill? Was that even all UPP? I'm just asking! WOW! Some accomplishment! My little neice just learned to tie her shoes do you wish to giver her a medal as well?

I will never disagree that Holberton was certainly never a bed of roses but the question here is where are all the promised improvements and increase in standards? How about this claim of people not being giving their full prescriptions from MBS?

Can you ever be objective about anything? This is just like your feeble past attempts at trying to defend this government about the IMF and it's very much official now where that's heading!

**Jimmy Black** » 2009-10-03 13:04

Winston come out your shell and let the people know you are the Upp PRO. Paid to defend John..
What benefit did John get for Antigua from PAHO,,..He only went to the meeting to get per dimu,,and live big ,move big at the people expense.......
Is our health care better now that 5 year ago.. Are people getting quality surgecial care ? How mush medical benefit money did John spend and where did it go??

**Evedence** » 2009-10-03 12:25

Mginley was the perfect choice to negotiate with carnival cruiselines. he gained tremendous capacity in the area of negotiation from PAHO WHILE HE WAS MINISTER OF HEALTH . HE CHAIR SEVERAL COMMITTEES IN PAHO AS MINISTER OF HEALTH , REPRESENTING ANTIGUA AND BARBUDA AND THE CARIBBEAN REGION.

YOU ALL DONT READ AND FOLLOW GOOD THINGS THAT UPP AND THEIR MINISTERS DID

**Evedence** » 2009-10-03 12:20

**Evedence** » 2009-10-03 12:12

lionel

**Evedence** » 2009-10-03 12:08

You and others should be ashame to call John Maginley , "Grraveyard John".really what you are are saying is that Health care providers was giving substandard services at the hospital which resulted in the death of persons. You all are really attacking Health care providers at the hospital. T he Doctors , nurses and other health workers have been degarded by people like you. Maginley Health Policies did not in anyway resulted in in poor services at the old Hospital.EMEMBE R HOSPITAL IS NOT HEALTH.

if the six tourists had beaten up six other american toursists here on island and we turned a bling eye to the injustice we would have been wrong. if 6 antiguans beat up cops in the us after trying to rip off a can driver they probably would have been sent home in bags. To me Carnival did what they did because too many people (including the cruise association) acted like the 6 were victims before letting the court system do it's work. The Jamaican and GT people on island don't get such speedy trials. The reality is that people don't want to accept that the eleven people in that cab that day got a $132 cab ride for $100 after bargining with two cab drivers. 5 of them had no problem with the fare and left the island without problems...

**Have Mercy** » 2009-10-03 10:42

DID ANYBODY REALLY EXPECT A DIFFERENT OUTCOME? Except Evedence that is? You're still around? You and kemba just got off vacation or the check just cleared? I see your views are still as skewed as ever!

This stance by Carnival was clearly on the agenda of theirs for some time but I'm convinced this whole tourists fiasco has certainly been the main contributing factor in driving the final nail into the coffin. It's obviously a move which doesn't hurt them financially while at the same time appearing to be taken some sort of action against Antigua and Barbuda(even if that's not really the case) but the action does communicate that impression. So the US media have become way less critical of them(so overall they benefit).

**visitor** » 2009-10-03 10:11

I see you're still in dunce mode,would you care to oblige me by telling me& others the lots of good things that maginley has done for health? i see you are done campaigning for lovell& the imf,now its graveyard john's turn. please dont tell me the discrimination at mt st johns was put in place by him?

**Evedence** » 2009-10-03 09:38

It is clear to me that you know nothing about Health. Maginley did a lot for Health and particularly health care

**Evedence** » 2009-10-03 09:35

Ron Joseph, who are you to be talking for rural north people. i voted for John Maginly and i am very proud of him.

**Ron Joseph** » 2009-10-03 07:22

Graveyard John stricks for 3th time.xxxxx.. Please can't you say no to David Shoul and keep John home ,'IN THE NATIONAL INTEREST'''.... .......
The people of St JOHNS North must be feeling really bad for Voting JOHN ...

**Guy Fawkes** » 2009-10-03 03:55

Once again St Martin benefits at Antgua's expense. Their Sailing Week is also going from strength to strength, while Antigua's is in terminal decline. It is being handed to them on a plate. Your tourism minister is asleep at the wheel.

**Anne of Cleves** » 2009-10-03 03:31

Pharoah had 7 plaques to deal with we have one name John Maginley that can bang all 7 out the bible. So Graveyard John Strikes again!! First it was healthcare in Antigua that he decimated now it is Tourism.

When oh Lord will this plague pass!!

**olga** » 2009-10-03 02:40

Did they really expect to change the decision? that just did not happen overnight,it was boiling all along it just reach the boiling point now, this is a result of yet another failure on the part of govt to address issues which can negatively affect our economy, they dont really care who come or go because all they want to do to run antigua is to tax us,you think tourist have to come here,antigua was always too expensive,right now it is way out of control and the upp is still determined to make it even worst.they are a bunch of jokers.

**THE KING** » 2009-10-03 01:15

I wonder if all of this is the fault of Carnival Cruise Lines? Hope the minister can answer that question but if he was left out of the deligation we could have brokered some positive results. I know for sure that we are learning and this is a classic example of how the UPP have allowed things to spiral out of control and then look to blame others because they are not forthcoming with the solutions for them. Remember that you are now in charge so please stop looking back and do what you have to do. Its time you get up off yor ** and go look replacements instead of crying at a mess that could have been handled differently in the national interest...
