CAN YOU SMELL WHAT THEY WERE COOKING?

AUM plans folded...

The Anguilla Utter Mess (AUM) Administration's nutshell mentality is campaigning in this election for those who benefit from politics as a game - the selfish special-interest industry on Anguilla... you know them, also known as the ones who influence them to say-anything-to-win dirty kinda politics.

However, the Anguilla United Front (AUF) is not going to play that game. We are making it abundantly clear that people like you have always and will always dictate Anguilla’s policies. We're going to continue transforming the political process by bringing together the best brains on Anguilla. We believe in honest vigorous in-depth debate on the various issues affecting Anguillians while delivering the best solutions offered. We will be honest about the choices and the challenges we face, listen to you and learn from you, even when we disagree.

To do this, we need to dramatically multiply the number of stakeholders because the only way we can win is by making this campaign belong to as many people as possible. Because its all about you, and your demands are simple.

The AUF will continue to deliver those demands: continue leadership which ensures that the work of the people is properly done and done properly - quality leadership with the qualifications a nation so yearns – the kind of leadership that elevates, with associated respectability; equal opportunity for all at home and abroad with the hope that their voice matters in a political process that too often leaves too many Anguillians out; legislation; security; reliable healthcare, an education that will give our generations the chance to compete and succeed globally.

You can take ownership of good government. It’s definitely no turning back to a failed utter mess administration. It means that you the people would have made history and took control of your destiny.

Get on-board, we must do this together..

YOU'RE NOT JACKASSES...

Pasquale (Pat) Minicucci, B.Comm, FICB, ICD.D Owner
at Minicucci Coaching & Consulting - former Senior Vice
President Caribbean Region for Scotia Bank; and the then
Honorable Victor Franklin Banks: Minister of Finance, Economic
Development, Investment and Tourism.

Mr. Victor Franklin Banks is that kind of special leader with an amazing ability to bring people to the table from across party lines in maintaining political stability and economic prosperity on Anguilla. With such highly qualified leadership and team of professionals, properly vetted, organized and fit for purpose, It's humbling and inspiring, but more than anything, it's an awakening for each one of us here on Anguilla.

It’s embarrassing for too long now, that while an intelligent globe seeks to select their elites to compete and lead; we were deselecting our elite and electing our non-intelligent animals... while our sisters and brothers in the region laugh at our staged comedy circus.

An AUM case study...A+

But we still have a challenge, an Anguilla Utter Mess (AUM) Administration therefore, we are taking nothing for granted as we work hard to get your every last vote in this general elections. We've seen what happens when the will of the people is swept aside. Corruption and incompetence paralyze their will power and ability to think; where standards are diminished, and the fundamental fairness of our society diminishes to benefit a visionless bunch of no-brainers and their influence-peddlers...

Then they label you as Jackasses!

CONVERGENCE OF CONFUSION

 "... listen, the Anguilla people are Jackasses. I destroyed Ronald

then give him a holiday. I destroyed ADP, and ANA had to take 

Victor in. I replaced an intelligent radio announcer, put an idiot to 
run in  his place, and the people voted for him resoundingly.   
I raised Eddy, buh tat boi too lazy, I couldn't support him no more. 
Look... the Transshipment was brilliant, but Victor was full of 
tricks... too smart for me, so I had to get rid of it. Whenever 
anything go wrong with my government, I blame you white 
people in London, and you know that the people believes every
word I says. So, what do you call such people other than Jackasses? 
Let me say this before I go, listen to me... I suppose to have 3 sons
left... one is mine... one don't know that he is not mine ... and one
want to be mine."

We recall the Hubert Hughes’ Vote of No Confidence; his ADP/AUM Better Government for Anguilla debacle; his transshipment saga; his infidelity with Jerome Roberts and Edison Baird theatricals; his refusal to appoint an Opposition Leader in Parliament - his raping of the taxpayers purse on an outdated phone bill - mistrust, jealousy, envy... just to name a few of his convergence of confusion in Governments on Anguilla.

This Chief Minister's greed has demolished equity... blatant Nepotism beyond possibility of restrain. In the end, his unchecked greed threatens freedom, undermines the social fabric of our society, and was an undemocratic force. His government was unconstitutional for over 3.5 years... ignored by his evil British, as they were simply afraid to be labeled as evil colonialist intentionally destroying the economy and driving Anguillians back into poverty and slavery by taking their homes, lands and jobs and killing us with taxes.

However... the jury is out as to why the loyal opposition waited til this eleventh-hour to act. This boycotting of the House of Assembly on Anguilla is believe to be one of the most brilliant moves yet by a shadow government on Anguilla, saving us that level of continued embarrassment from this disgraceful debacle, this utter mess Government - shuttling in the kinda of change we so urgently needed.

I therefore admonish this utter mess to fast forward, and call general elections now! Your greed has ran its course therefore, the Legislatures Pension Act has escaped its onslaught, and in the quest for political stability and economic prosperity on Anguilla, you have given the Anguilla United Front (AUF) Opposition, an unfettered mandate in this general election...

It's important to know that though we the electorate cannot regulate stupidity, we surely can usher you into Parliament or facilitate an anticipated exit.

¡¿QUESTIONS?!

"Is he a molester, rapist, racist, thief, ignorant, arrogant and reckless, and
an uneducated man too?!"

Look, the reality is that Dr. Webster is a brilliance irrespective to whom he supports or run with. We are not in this campaign to demonize anyone. I love Haydn Hughes, we will always be friends, but hates his politics... actually I respect all politicians personally. I have no political enemy... I have political opponents! And I will be harsh on any deemed such. Dr. Webster is not an AUM's pedigree... even if it is rumoured that he is the father to his unknown outside twin.

We have to be careful on what's important, and focus on that importance in this General Election. And what is important in this election is not about comparing a Dr. Webster's medical practice with Dr. Hughes' or Dr. Bryan's. I mean, the reality here is that the Hon. Chief Minister has two nephews who are credible and well known medical practitioners, in the persons of Dr. Lowell Hughes and Dr. Franklin Hughes of Hughes Medical Centre, whom have never supported his concocted governments... not even with a 10ft pole! As a matter of fact, his other nephew, Mr. Rommel Hughes, the next natural representative for Constituency-5, Road North, is the brain behind re-electing the Hon. Edison Baird, Opposition, the present representative of that district.

Let it be on record here, that none of the Hon. Chief Ministers' intelligent relatives supports his brand of politics on Anguilla, but for the Hon. Haydn Hughes - with obvious measured intelligence. Not even Anguilla Jazz Festival co-founder and renown Jazz DJ, Mr. James Connor, supports his uncle's brand of politics on Anguilla. It's a brand of gutterness and gutlessness, demonization, satanic and vile rituals... the politics of demeaning, derogatory, insulting and offensive language against senior civil servants, the Governor, the Attorney General, the Deputy Governor, investors, teachers, ordinary citizens... literally encompassing their families... racist against white people, the United Kingdom, and Her Royal Highness and families... and certainly, not least of all, the members of the Anguilla United Front (AUF) Opposition Party.

This election is about the future of your generations, the restoration of good governance and economic stability and prosperity for all Anguillians to once again feel proud to be a part of, and call Anguilla home. This utter mess government was the the kind of failed and costly experimentation we the taxpayers did not worth the shame.... 5 years of failed policies, mistrust, disunity, hatred, reckless and vileness, emptiness and failures among a visionless estranged grouping and their prostituted cohabitation, concocted to intoxicate you the electorate every 5 years with its poisonous filth.

The AUM Government has disgraced the Anguilla Diaspora in particular, and the region as a whole. Do not let you intelligence be derailed once again... do not take lightly the fact that you have been labelled to be "Jackasses" by this utter mess government of Anguilla - let no one disrespect your pride as an Anguillian. We will find work for Dr. Webster even after he loses his deposit in this general election to Othlyn Vanterpool or Pam Webster... moreover, that he is a specialist... but most importantly because he is one of us. Let this utter mess administration be the last political disaster you've experienced on Anguilla. Let a team, under the stewardship of Mr. Victor Franklin Banks , sweep away this nightmare... this gloom and dome five years of false choices, false hopes, failed policies, false economy... and restore that commitment to Anguilla's most cherished ideals. Your pride will be restored, I promise you!

EVEN GOD DOZED ON ANGUILLA...

... Anguillians never sleep since Feb 15, 2010. 

I believe God dozed on Feb 15 2010. This is the lessons of "greater is he that is in you", and why we must keep the faith. In that glitch, a culture of short attention spans took over, selfishness, we were fooled by everything perceived to make our lives easier and results achieved faster - our inhibitions got lower, the inherent value of things decreased and indulgence increased... the world and everything must be at our finger tips... the lies about the turning of straw into gold, and the putting of money back in our pockets overnight. Simply indoctrinated by this Anguilla Utter Mess (AUM) Administration, you believed in a world of unlimited supply where life itself is disposable - you were "Jackassed" hook, line and sinker, my fellow Anguillians.

For five long years, this utter mess administration has done nothing but molested and raped you and kids future on Anguilla. The questions are: 1) Are you better off today than you were, under these Incompetents? 2) Do you feel safer? This administration is the kinda pregnancy legal to abort - the childbirth (The other cheek of the same asshole) you must avoid come this general election and beyond.

Our way forward must be based on confidence, track record, materializing set objectives - programs mapped out which will serve the interest of all Anguillians. Anguilla now begs the question, "what have you done for me lately?”, a people crying out,“It ain't nothing going on but the rent” – food shortage, water rationing, no electricity, no jobs, extremely high healthcare cost, no help… the sanctity of our people has been diminished to that of a Jackass.

Anguilla, in 1967 you believed so deeply that in the face of impossible odds, people who love this country can change it... that time has come again. The Legislators Pension Act is constitutional, and that any such unconstitutional move by this utter mess AUM Administration to change it, must be met with mass demonstrations - make their lives hell! We must recommit to that spirit of rallying for justice and security like in London and Paris. We all need to embrace our Human Rights and stamp out injustices wherever it shows its ugly head. We need to stand up and be counted to once again give Aguillians who have never participated in politics a reason too to stand up and be counted. Love for country must have a defined meaning, and it matters not who make that commitment or sacrifice, once it has been done to benefit all of us as one people.

"Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words

shall not pass away" - Matthew 24:35

Let this utter mess administration be the last political disaster you've experienced on Anguilla. Let a team, under the stewardship of Mr. Victor Franklin Banks, sweep away this nightmare... this gloom and dome five years of false choices, false hopes, failed policies, false economy... and restore that commitment to Anguilla's most cherished ideals. You are not Jackasses my fellow Anguillians... your pride will be restored.

ANGUILLA'S SO-CALLED CHRISTIAN POLITICIANS SERVE A CONVIENT/INCONVIENT GOD

Anguilla is really too small for Politics - we all were appalled last evening listening to the To-The-Point radio program via Klass FM 92.9, to hear Ex-Police Officer renowned Investigative Journalist and radio-talk-show host, now Politician, Christian Elkin Richardson being disagreeable, condemning... actually nuking the Anguilla Christian Council (ACC), and the Evangelical Association (EA), for speaking boldly against, and demanding an apology from rouge Politician, Jerome Roberts, for calling you the Anguilla Diaspora - "Jackasses."

The role, among other things, of these organisations is the elimination of stigma and discrimination, while educating Christians on the need for peaceful existence and tolerance among members of different faiths. They believe that governance and nation building incorporate monitoring the activities of political parties and professional bodies and offering advice to them. They appeal to Politicians to spend more time discussing issues of national interest concerning education, the youths, crime, health and poverty, the vulnerable, while avoiding the use of provocative language in their speeches.

The organisations know that we cannot build a strong and stable nation of informed citizens on partisanship alone and decry the sometimes acrimonious, volatile, emotive and provocative language some politicians use particularly by the Anguilla Utter Mess (AUM) Government when speaking to their followers and sympathizers like calling them "Jackasses".

In or about May 2013, a ACC/EA joint statement said: "We are not partisan and will not take a partisan position. As clergy in this Christian society, we expect better behaviour of our citizens generally, especially citizens who offer themselves for political leadership."

The AUF has always maintained and will continue to maintain an excellent relationship with the ACC and EA, and maintained that no derogatory statements should be acceptable. This demeaning, unfair, excessive and false verbal attacks by this utter mess AUM Government should be condemned consistently and without bias and with even-handedness.

Christian Elkin, as a Christian, I too would thought that you would promote such Christian values on Anguilla. Guess here's the meaning of Christ-turn Politician... theocracy/hypocrisy... where Christianity and Politics just don't mix - ask the Hon. Evan Gumbs about his nesting... guess they maintained their Jackass positions.

THE CHURCH REFUSES TO BRAY ON ANGUILLA... THIS TIME.

In or about the month of May 2013, the Evangelical Association and the Anguilla Christian Council condemned the statements that were made about the Hon. Chief Minister Mr. Hubert Hughes at public meetings where the Chief Minister was referred to as “a lunatic” several times by Mr. Curtis Richardson, and "Jack Donkey" by Mr. Evan McNeil Rogers. The joint statement said: "We, the members of the clergy, find this type of language distasteful and disrespectful."

The statement went on further to say, "At a time when many of us are very concerned about lawlessness and general disrespect in our society, better behavior is expected of our politicians and political aspirants. Society, in general, and our youth, in particular, are looking to our leaders to set the moral and ethical tone for our island. Hence, we condemn this behavior by our politicians and political aspirants."

This was at a time when Anguilla were bombarded with demeaning, derogatory, insulting and offensive statements made by our Hon. Chief Minister, other members of Government, and influential peddlers - in the House of Assembly, and in the general media, against senior civil servants, the Governor, the Attorney General, the Deputy Governor, investors, teachers, ordinary citizens and certainly not least of all, the members of the Anguilla United Front (AUF).

The Evangelical Association and the Anguilla Christian Council now need to prove themselves by condemning the demeaning statements made by the Hon. Jerome Robert, of the Anguilla United Movement (AUM), to avoid such non-partisan cloud-of-doubt moreover, that as citizens of Anguilla, you too are disrespected as "Jackasses." 

The not-so-honourable mr. roberts must be made to make a public apology!

May God continue to guide you, as you aspire to higher moral and ethical standards on Anguilla.

EVIL BRITISH AND WHITE RACIST CARTOONISTS, OR VERMIN?

UK Prime Minister, David Cameron, is said
to commend his friend, Her Excellency
 Christina Scott, for saving Anguilla
from itself once again... 

Our Hon. Chief Minister some time ago asked the British government to lend him some huge amount of money so that the Government of Anguilla could acquire Cap Juluca by Compulsory Acquisition, which I believe would involve our government in years of litigation and enormous legal costs. His intention was to acquire the hotel and resell it to a "qualified buyer". Fortunately, Her Majesty Government refused to give Hubert Hughes the money and refused to allow him to borrow it elsewhere, since HMG has contingent liability for any loans and debts of its Overseas Territories. This caused Hubert to accuse the evil British of intentionally destroying the economy of Anguilla and driving all of us back into poverty and slavery by taking our homes, lands and jobs and killing us with taxes. He then raised Property Tax by 150%. But that's a disgruntle 80+ years ole man... with a youthful "son" and cabinet...

Now fast-forward 2015 - Haydn Hughes and Jerome Roberts (youths) want to change the Legislators Pension Act so that when they lose the upcoming elections and kicked out of politics forever, they will get a fat pension every month from the taxpayers purse... FOR LIFE! Your hard earned monies!

The Governor noted that the amendment was being proposed without public consultation, as was usual for legislative changes, or the alternative of an independent committee to review and make recommendations on arrangements for legislators’ pay and pension entitlements (an approach used in many other legislatures). In other words, the Governor said that this would add to the known perception that this government continues to make decisions in their own interest without recourse to us, the taxpayers.

Haydn Hughes then went on to blame the problem on the evil British, racist white reporters and cartoonists, and Jerome said "Let the Jackasses (Anguillians) bray!" This is why it must be reiterated that a vote for New AUM (The Kids), is simply "a change for an identical cheek of the same asshole!"

"There's an old saying in Tennessee - I know it's in Texas,
probably in Tennessee - that says, fool me once, shame on -
shame on you.  Fool me - you can't get fooled again"
 - George W. Bush.

Our future ahead is inevitable, a competent AUF Government under the stewardship of a most intelligent and capable Mr. Victor Franklin Banks is our only proven salvation - Anguilla deserves to be that once respectful and envied nation in the Caribbean - rightfully now a laugh-at-stock of political incompetents!

It's all about you...

THE GOVERNMENT OF ANGUILLA AND THE TAXPAYERS' PURSE

THE GOVERNMENT OF ANGUILLA BREAKING INTO THE TAXPAYERS' PURSE

And the sleaziness continue with this AUM Government of Anguilla. Now they are currently full-steam ahead to change the Legislators Pension Act 2004. Their motive is to allow the Hon. Jerome Roberts and the Hon Evan Gumbs to rob the taxpayers purse after just 5 years of failure, and/or not wait til they reached the age of 60, as enshrined by the Act - what a set of Vermin we have as a government here on Anguilla.

The laws take into account all Legislators since February 10th 1976. The Father of the Nation, the Honourable James Ronald Webster; and former Chief Minister, Sir Emile R. Gumbs et al. All receive their pensions under the same legal provisions - still Haydn Hughes had the heart to say in the AUM's public meeting last evening that Mr. Websters spent his monies on Anguilla and receives nothing, and that they will do something about that, by changing the legislation... to incorporate Jerome and Evan exit at the polls. Sleazy?

The circumstances under which a pension shall be paid is clearly outlined in Section-4 of the Act as follows:

The person has 

a) served as a legislator for not less than ten year; 

b) has ceased to be a legislator; 

c) has attained the age of 55 years if he was a legislator before the act came into operation and 60 years after the act came into operation; 

d) not having attained the retirement of 55 or 60 becomes medically boarded and unable to discharge the duties of a legislator or any other gainful employment.

Section-6 states:

A pension payable under this Act shall, if the person in receipt thereof again becomes a legislator, cease to be payable during the period in respect of which that person is in receipt of an allowance as a legislator, but if the amount of such basic allowance is less than the amount of pension, the higher amount is payable.

So when you hear such empty asses on the platform on this issue, please read Legislators Pension Act 2004, and confirmed what happens after MrVictor Franklin Banks is reelected - "It's all about you, Anguilla."

For the wanna-be politician, Mr. Elkin Richarson, we know that if you could've read and/or understand, such knowledge still wouldn't paint the desired picture of a greedy "Slick-Vic" coming up with a scheme to receive both payments. And while they were on their feet last evening, they could also have taken the opportunity to speak about “golden handshakes”; renunciation payout; bonuses; sweet-deals; perks; and  the “redundancy packages.”

We here at Anguilla-England Relation are keeping a close eye on the ground...

POLITICS OF NARCISSISM HERE ON ANGUILLA...

Narcissism refers to excessive self-love and its becoming the distinguishing feature of Anguilla politics as children behave just like their parents. This alienated obsession with self recently found expression in the Anguilla House of Assembly and the cutthroat style of politics and moral malaise.

Many of those seeking leadership in this country scores high on narcissism and low on empathy. Some will argue that such behaviour is new normal in a society with increased economic inequality and insecurity or that this is the correct response to living in a world of increased competition and pressure to win. Narcissist thrives on manipulation and their ability to abuse their victims’ receptivity to being mesmerized by their poison.

Its acceptable for a person to seek to dominate and achieve however when that desire surpass a healthy self-regard into a narrow quest for self promotion, it becomes a dangerous mechanism that short circuits empathy and shuts down that person ability to understand how their actions would impact others. Narcissists are bullies, parasites and charismatic seducers who cheat and lie as natural as they breathe. Narcissists live to appear important on the world stage and promote themselves by tearing down others.

Ever notice that it took and entire constituency to uphold our retiring narcissist. Over the years he assembled an entourage of enablers who justified and defend his actions. The dangerous thing about narcissists is that despite all their bluster and the appearance to behave as if they are the centre of the universe, deep inside they harbour a childish dependency, can’t stand to be alone, and is terrified by the thought they are nothing. Their values shift continually, questions of faith and doubt have no answers, and ascertaining life’s purpose or a workable moral code seem impossible. There is a need for their fantasies to be passed on and reinforced their children, lovers, family members, co-workers, followers and the general public. These people who are only useful as long as they remain in thrall to the narcissist and reflect his image or warped sense of reality; otherwise they are thrown overboard.

A disillusioned electorate is the perfect breeding ground for narcissists. Anguilla is such fertile soil that for the first time in our history we are witnessing the mantle being passed from one narcissistic guru to and eager narcissistic squab. As long as you are deeply unsatisfied with your life or believe some external force, race or power controls your destiny; you are ripe picking for any narcissist guru or squab. Always remember they promised you the moon and delivered a school of rats.
