VIDEO: High School Drop-Outs Demanding High-end Jobs from Gov’t

Published

Prime Minister Gaston Browne says many of the young people who have come to see him personally are demanding high-end jobs that pay very well, some over $5000 a month.

Browne says they are mainly high school dropouts without qualifications, wanting money rather than work.

PM Browne made the disclosure on Pointe FM on Saturday

    An interesting point of emphasis, Mr./Ms. Editor. Remember, however, the ” truth” that is told with the wrong intent , beats all the lies you can invent. Despite the best efforts of many to constantly feed this population a six for a nine from a diet of lies, innuendos, deliberate distortion of facts and the like, many, many Antiguans have become health conscious and have significantly improved their diet. Seemingly salacious crap, such as wha ts presented here, simply has no place in a healthy Antiguan diet!

    Dear Editor, Is THIS P M Listening to himself??? Since the days of The Honorable P M Lester Bird ….. Our Present P M was Told of Our TROUBLED youth …. Was that 20 – 30 YEARS Ago???? Yet he so don’t care ‘bout Non Bardy but SELF ……. He has allowed the Place designated for the Corrective Measures for Our Young Boys to become SO RUN DOWN that it had to be closed for 5+ YEARS NOW!!!
    He TOOK AWAY the COMMUNITY CENTER in the Grays Green Area BUILT to Assist the GROWTH & DEVELOPMENT of These YOUNGSTERS of THIS Very Needy area of Our Country —— A Gift I believe from the Chinese …. For going on 6+ Years Now ……. And He Mr. Gaston Brown, in his 3rd TERM as PRIME MINISTER of This NATION Cannot See that it is HE AND HIS CABINET that has caused the DETERMINATION of Our Youth & Young Adults over these past 10 + Years that he has been the Prime Minister ….. He is NOW WORKING ON OUR BROTHERS & SISTERS LANDS IN BARBUDA ……. So that HE can make THEM deserving of the DESPICABLE Adjectives he uses to Describe these Beautiful, Hardworking, Conscientious People who are asking for JUSTICE to be DONE where their Land won for THEM by their Ancestors is Concerned…… Land Held as COMMUNITY Land for CENTURIES…..
    Thank you Mr. Prime Minister. We ALL DESERVE This for putting you in THIS POSITION …….
