Sean Bird to Leave UPP

By

Published
Sean Bird

The United Progressive Party is experiencing a wave of departures, with Sean Bird expected to leave soon.

This follows a string of resignations, including Kevin Arif Jonas, the former chairman and caretaker of the All Saints West Branch.

Sources reveal that Bird plans to take a hiatus from politics.

Bird, the general manager of ZDK Liberty Radio, contested the St John’s Rural East constituency against Maria Bird-Browne, the prime minister’s wife.

These developments indicate a significant shift within the UPP’s leadership and membership.

    The UPP is cleaning ship before it sink with all the flip flippers of the ABLP. They are leaving and we still haven’t heard who will replace those vacant constituencies.

    Sean was NEVER a member of the UPP. He was always the dog left outside to watch the gate but never allowed inside. The big buffoon! He childishly thought that being sired by a “Bird” automatically meant entitlement, power and influence. What a colossal error in judgement. A diluted bloodline can be reduced to nothingness in a single generation. Sean cannot claim to have inherited any if his grandfather’s admirable qualities. His decision to join ranks with the hateful, spiteful, “elitist” incompetent odd-fellows sealed his face. Already deemed “the prodigal son” he is lucky that some within his former Party are willing to embrace him once he returns from living among pigs. If that is the case, I humbly recommend that, with his vast experience, he be given a job to look after the pigs on the PM’s farm. Failing that, he can join forces with the other irrelevant, no-name Vere Bird IÌI to keep the title alive. The only Bird that I recognize is the one who is now a Browne.
