Published
Sean Bird

The United Progressive Party’s representative for the St John’s Rural East constituency has indicated that he is contemplating withdrawing from active political involvement, which could lead to his departure from the UPP.

He expressed concerns about the party’s direction and emphasized his desire not to impede its progress.

Additionally, he mentioned that politics should focus on adding value rather than causing divisions.

Notably, Bird recently joined the UPP to run in the 2023 general election, where he competed against his relative, Maria Bird-Browne, for the constituency.

There are reports suggesting that Bird may transition to a role within the public service.

    This traitor ought not to be given any publicity at all. This hobo expects to live big on the legacy of his grandfather, the Rt. HON. Vere Cornwall Bird . Alas! He has. not heard! No one sent him the Memo. The Father if The Nation, not even Sean’s father, is and will always be Antigua and Barbuda’s National hero, arguably the ONLY one deserving of this accolade, with the possible exception of Dame Nellie Robinson . The Hon. Lester Bird, not even Sean’s father, was remarkable, despite his many personal flaws, largely responsible for the successful transition of Antigua from the sugarcane dependent economy to the vibrant tourism based economy that has benefitted this country immensely. Sean’s dubious claims to pedigree have been seriously diluted and questioned, not taken seriously except by an inept, desperate UPP – the country’s OFL – Opposition for life . As the older generation would say, Sean, “you’re all washed up in this town, pink pad!”
    Meaning? (Open to interpretation)

    If he is agrevived then the only direction he should be looking at, is the way home. Sean needs to click his heels and say there is no place like 46 North Street oh wait I forget it’s now People’s Place.
