Baldwin Spencer Righting The Wrongs

Under the corrupt ALP regime the people of St. John’s Rural West were excluded from government’s infrastructural development and employment opportunities for their continued support of Baldwin Spencer who represented them in parliament four (4) consecutive terms.

Since 1976, the community saw absolutely nothing done in the constituency. However in less than five years the UPP government began the process of righting the wrongs of the vindictive and corrupt ALP. Significant developments have since been recorded under the leadership of Winston Baldwin Spencer in comparison to the twenty eight years of the corruption Birdism.

That is a fact we would like to remind candidate Gail Christian who is conveniently suffering from selective amnesia like all of the other reprobates in the ALP.

The United Progressive Party (UPP) would like to remind Christian and her cohorts that within five years, the representative for Rural West, Prime Minister Baldwin Spencer has worked to improve the lives of its residents.

The entire community agrees with PM Spencer when he stated, “I have always been conscious that over the years, successive ALP administrations have systematically punished residents of St. John’s Rural West for supporting me. The ALP callously denied the residents of Rural West the basic amenities with which we should have been provided. The spiteful Bird regime targeted Rural West for systematic neglect. They neglected the roads in Rural West.”

Under the Bird regime the ALP neglected infrastructure developments such as drainage in the constituency and attached low priority to health facilities in the area.

At the mammoth rally in Rural West, February 8th, PM Spencer said, “It has been a long period of spite against Rural West,” the PM exclaimed. “That regime of reprobates had virtually declared a state of war against St. John’s Rural West. I am gratified that I am now in a position to begin to right the wrongs in Rural West; and in other communities across the nation.”

Christian should be ashamed for condemning the Prime Ministers opening of a clinic in Five Islands. True to its form Christian and the ALP loathe progress.
Additionally, Gail Christian who is destined to fail in her election bi should apologize to the people of St Johns Rural West for calling them “ghetto”. For the record, Christian should note that the people of Rural West are ambitious and “not Ghetto people” as you termed them and therefore would prefer to fish rather than be pitied. Thus the promise of handouts, are insulting.

Let us remind Senator Christian that it was the same ALP who while in government neglected the people of Rural West because they were being represented by an opposition member.

On the issue, of “neglect” the UPP reminds the candidate that in 1989, Vere Cornwall Bird made a declaration that he will never sanction any development in St Johns Rural West until an ALP candidate was elected in that constituency to represent the people. That policy of neglect was continued until 2004, when the UPP government was elected.

Christian has grossly insulted the people of Rural West, once again, with the promise of handouts, should she be the elected representative.

Certainly, issuing handouts to residents, which is the modus operandi of the ALP, instead of tangible employment and skill training, will not be sustainable at the proposed rate of individual development, but only encourages, idleness which could foster crime and violence in the vulnerable areas.

The UPP government is about empowering people, giving them the tools to work and teaching them how to fish.
