    They say dat I was “British” from birth due to colonialism; But I couldn’t travel freely to England (Hellgland) as a citizen. Me parents left Dominica and migrated to England (Hellgland) and had to work and remained for many years before they were issued British passport. Geemee a damn break, tan, with all you queen and de baroness. Black folks are ever willing to remain and be at the bottom of the barrel. Down there the SALT is concentrated.

    You all don’t know that the queen is the head of the commonwealth and Patricia’s boss? So she is there to receive instructions, that’s all.

    Lovely picture the Queen seems quite happy to see the Baroness. No false smile there. Right person for the position she seems to be saying.

    Congratulations Baroness Scotland, Secretary General as a Dominica I feel very proud of your accomplishment. May God Bless you, our Country and the Commonwealth.

    You critics are missing out on God’s blessing and graces. Your heart is stamped with hatred. How could you ever be genuinely happy and peaceful?
    I love the Queen. I also love our new Commonwealth Secretary General. She will do a good job of it. Be broadminded. Dominica will benefit. Mark my words.
    Prince Harry is in Canada. He was in Toronto yesterday. I settled for viewing and reading the news. However, he was welcomed in Toronto and by Canada’s Prime Minister, Justine Trudeau. The Prince is a genuinely nice guy, a down-to-earth one.
    Let us appreciate everything that is good and those who are especially nice people whether we know them personally or not. What is important, they are as human as we are.

      Your statement is a duplicate of the mulatto class during slavery.What Benefit?You really think those People have our interest at heart? As long as they can control the business so that they make all the profits You really think they want to share it with You ? When slavery was abolished You think the Monarchy was happy?
      They simply reinvented Slavery and the Slaves are Happy and not rebellious they are very cooperative .Even when by the rules we were not supposed to have a General Secretary We were able to Get our Former Attorney General in the position just because She was born in Dominica

    When will we learn to stop being so Negative, this is a proud moment for all Dominicans, Life will become better when Labour and Workers realize we are Dominicans FIRST, and a Mature people will appreciate what we have for once without fighting against each other.

    Strive for honour sons and daughters,
    Do the right be firm be fair,
    Toil with hearts and hands and voices,
    We must prosper! Sound the call,
    In which everyone rejoices,
    “All for Each and Each for All”.

    I am so proud of Baroness Scotland. She is able and will be a great success. The Queen body language shows that she likes Baroness Scotland.

  16. Well that is why I call grace and class, also a another uplifting, for him who maintains reverence to God

      Stop being a DONKEY HOLE whatever the UWP supporters said it is for u and ur children, and grand children to come so don’t make ur self pass more stupid than u are, the liars and corruption partakers will continue to be on the throne while the truthful ones keep struggling on the lather the voice of GOD is not the voice of the crowed nor the people it’s the voice of the TRUTHFUL ONES as in PILOT HALL the majority of the people who were there on that faithful morning when CHRIST died for all sinners, for it was the voice of the people / majority who shouted let his blood be upon us and upon our children
      But CHILDREN of Jerusalem don’t cry for me but for ur self that’s what the DONKEY HOLES in D/ca will hear for them self take care and may GOD be with U ALL

      The Queen is too much of an important and busy person to stoop low and read lowly communication. She has no time for lowliness.

    The never exceling forever declining labor baboons will feel like this is the equivalent of Patricia Baroness getting knighted by the illuminati puppet, the evil queen of England. In the meantime most of them cannot even afford a television. If they desire to purchase or upgrade their living room video or audio sets they have to run to Courts for special financing where most of them endure severe rejection due to the lack of evidence as to how they would be able to repay what their hearts desire. Yet they continue to enjoy their broke salty lives that is filled with nothing but misery and sorry that is spearheaded by king Pharaoh. What a shame!!!

      Corporations and governments (including your own), perhaps; but I’m really not sure that Queen Elizabeth II personally is capable of ripping off entire regions of the world.
