Vere Bird Jnr’s legacy deemed tarnished

Apr 08, 2013

ST JOHN’S, Antigua – Two well known individuals in the political sphere have declared that the controversial dealings involving the late Vere Bird Jnr – the elder brother for former Prime Minister Lester Bird – may have tarnished his political career somewhat. That was the sentiment echoed by Political Analyst Arvel Grant and Antigua Labour Party (ALP) Senator Lennox Weston on Sunday’s Big Issues. Both men, however, concurred that the son of the Father of the Nation had contributed to national development.
