    Max Hurst or the government need to take a decision to remove Nikki from this platform. On some days she can ask good questions…but coming to beg for recognition for some estrange social media freak is NOT the place for that. She can use her platform to heap praises on the woman why she must come here with that

    In response to your asinine question, the answer is simple and direct. In local parlance, “Carse ah yah me barn.” That ugly witch needs to realize that our current leader is Gaston Browne, not Lester Bird. The latter, according to rumor, would have quenched your thirst a long time ago. If a man she a look, or money or fame/notoriety, this (Antigua) is the wrong harbour! Go peddle your stinking wares elsewhere!
