    Was it a budget response or a manifesto?

      Both actually, just like the P.M.’s and perfectly fitting.

    I am trying to understand what this budget response has contributed to the budget itself.

      Are you truly serious? Has commonsense deserted you? Stop making a perfect fool of yourself by asking asinine questions? Get a grip of yourself, KID, you’re losing your sanity. Any objective listener or reader to Mr. Linton’s erudite response to the 2018 -2019 budget was superlatively done.

    Excellent, especially given that he was given less than 24 hours to respond. Meanwhile, Roosevelt Skerrit departed our shores to leave his parliamentary colleagues to face this robust and well crafted response to his promises on their own. If they feel less than pleased, who can blame them. I especially detected a tone of anger in the presentation of the Hon. Ms. Baron and wonder why? Did she too feel abandoned by mr. Promise?

    So a citizenship program that is not sustainable is going to give almost 50 percent of its revenue to a private sector fund. That means you expect to make at least what is being made now. That means you going to be running a citizenship program that you EXPECT to be successful. Henley and Partners will burst your stomach and your brain Lennox. The more you people talk the more hypocrite you all are.

    This visionary response by Mr.Linton proves that the ruling Labor party cabal is bankrupt after 18 years incompetence and ideological stagnation. Dominica has the third highest unemployment rate in the Caribbean after 18 years of Skeritt. We need new leadership because this current administration is unsustainable.

    Well thought of, well articulated and well deserved! Linton is indeed a genius yet full of humidity and honesty. That the kind of leader Dominica needs at this time to turn our misfortunes around.

      Humility not humidity

        Thanks for ur observation. I thought I put humility; I guess the computer changed it to humidity and I didn’t take note. But it was a very well delivered response by Mr. Linton and his humility, honesty and love for country could be sensed, unlike the free movie Skerrit replayed which made no sense, had no hope and one you would expect from one of those very corrupt dictators of the middle East.

    • July 29, 2018

      You right! Humidity

      July 29, 2018

      Unfortunate choice of words. I think you meant to say humility instead of humidity?

      • RBD Cinema
        July 29, 2018

        But doesn’t common sense tell you all that I meant humility and not humidity? Just check the context man
