    the people in Salisbury suppose to be looking out for each other. I f you see negative things happening in the village or you hear something, bring it to the attention of the police. Salisbury is a special village, let it stay pure like it used to be, do not let murder destroy our village. young people have to take note from today. if we don’t open our ears and look around our village will spoil and people will not want to visit our village. I love Salisbury, it is beautiful but bad eggs trying to bring it down. let Salisbury stay alive and special.

    We are definitely not our brothers keepers anymore. To those who stood by and did nothing, there is a God. Whatsoever you do to the least of my brothers, that you do unto me. RIP Luto.

      Please don’t sound like your name. No, to be fair to him that is not what he said and no amount of times that you say it and other people say it, that is not what he said or the context in which he said it.

      He said in the context of his eligibility to contest the elections that no law or constitution can prevent him from being nominated. Perhaps that was because he knew that he qualified but people in public life have to be careful what they say and how they say it, so he probably should not have said it that way. Just see the extent of distortion and misinterpretation which continues to haunt him.

    Why is this happening to us ? Why have we become so intolerant of each other? Gone are the dayswhen we were referred to God fearing people. Gone are the days when our churches were filled with worshippers.Gone are the days when we were each other’s keepers, gone are the days when we we’re peace makers and ready to assist whenever and argument ensued. We can bring back the good old days if we pray more, give a helping hand to the less fortunate ones, offers some good advice to our youths, and most importantly, make time for the Almighty Father.Seek the Lord while He may be found, call to Him while He is still near.Put Everything in God’s hands and we will see God’ s hands in everything The Good Lord Will Never Leave Us Nor Forsake Us. We Need To PRAY MORE.

      If the government of a country an by extension it’s PM has no values and displays on an ongoing basis corruption and unfairness, the average man on the road and youth soon think that’s the way to go. In todays Dominica everything revolves around MONEY, MONEY.

      maybe if he created an environment to foster economical growth there would be more jobs available in the private sector… in turn you would have a job and would be able to purchase food to eat.

      But since all his efforts are to create a welfare state in which all inhabitants are dependent on Him and his handouts then you will have to stay hungry and hopes he reads your comments, finds our who you are and give you a couple of dollars

    After all is said and done, we are still in need of a savior,and there is no other name under heaven given among men where by we must be saved Acts 4:12. Only Jesus the Christ can completely changed a man’s life.

    Unless the hang man is reinteoduced crimes will not stop. The court system don’t believe in God, Amnesty international don’t believe in God those Lawyers are demon possess Jesus cursed them. and the rule the courts they only thing in theie mind is money not justice. if they were obedient to God they would obey his word and HANG THOSE CRIMINALS. Bring back the Rope and the gallows save our country. Enough is enough Capital punnishment is the only way out.

    Society has digressed… Salisbury used to be a nice, safe place. what does the Parl rep have to say about whats going on in his community?

      Salisbury has been used as the factory of anger and rage and coolwosh. We forget that when we inculcate a negative characteristic it doesn’t serve only the purpose for that day. It sticks my friends.

      That is not to say that this could not have happened anywhere else but when you specifically identify a particular place as the seat of dissension and disruption anything can happen.

      People of Salisbury please go back to your productive activities of vegetable production and a close knit community. That will serve you better.

    Just by expressing your opinion these days could cost you your life. Every time there is a homicide or a murder, the value of life is cheapened as the communities become more desensitized to death. It would take the collective efforts of the government, opposition, school, church, parents, civic organizations, and the community to mitigate criminal activities to acceptable levels. Crime is everybody’s business.

        No they are not, plain and simple. And the police force is used for Skerrits business also… not for the citizens. But they are content anyway after cashing their ‘World Bank cheque’.

      Thanks Ibo France

      I seem to like your objectivity. Criticise when it is necessary but be sensible when the issues are bigger than Lennox and Skerrit.

    I hope that did not happen as a result of skerrit’s so called farmers money that has set trouble in every community because of the corrupt manner world bank money was used to bribe people for votes

        Whose name should I call in wickedness? That’s because he does nothing good and as a result, whenever something wicked is done the first name that comes to mind is Skerrit because he is affiliated with wickedness.
