Prime Minister Roosevelt Skerritt told a large crowd gathered at the Kensington Oval in Barbados for the “One Caribbean: The Concert For The Children of Dominica” on Sunday night, that the people of the Caribbean are one.
“All ah we is one Caribbean,” the prime minister stated.
He said in formal CARICOM meetings, regional integration is discussed as as an ideal to work towards, but “tonight, here at Kensington Oval, it is a mission that has been accomplished.”
“In this crowd I see no Antiguans, St Lucians, Trinidadians, Jamaicans, Dominicans or Barbadians,” he said as the crowd cheered. “I see an experience of one people from the region.”
Skerrit began by singing Jimmy Cliff’s hit “Many rivers to cross” and then stopped to read his speech.
He spoke about about the virtues of regional integration and promised that Dominica would rebuild stronger with help from its Caribbean neighbours.
He thanked the Barbadian public for their support of Dominica after it was devastated by Tropical Storm Erika on August 27. The Prime Minister also expressed his thanks to the artistes and organisers of the concert.
Skerritt also went into the crowd to hug several people who expressed their condolences over the tragedy that killed many Dominicans.
Among officials at the concert were acting Prime Minister of Barbados Richard Sealy, Leader of the Opposition Mia Mottley and Leader of Opposition Business in the House of Assembly Santia Bradshaw.
Several Barbadians and Caribbean artistes performed at the show, among them were TC, Edwin Yearwood, Red Plastic Bag, Leadpipe and Saddis, Alison Hinds, King Bubba, Peter Ram, John King, Lil Rick, Grynner , Mikey Nahtalee and MRBLOOD of Barbados.
Destra and Denise Belfon of Trinidad, Skinny Fabulous and Hypa 4000 from St Vincent, international reggae singer Maxi Priest and Admiral Tibet and Luciano of Jamaica, also performed.
Dominica’s Michele Henderson also performed.
MCs were local Barbadians, Mac Fingall and Jamar The Starr.
In all these questions about Skerrit’s Versace shirt, some see nothing wrong with that, but if you do recall the same skerrit could not afford a basic $500 suit to his inaugural in 2000, but now he affords a $3,500 shirt to a fund raising event.
alu have jokes too wi i fort the article was about the fundraising event wi am lost because am only reading about his attire anyways i love my pm five more years ,long live dca we shall rise who vex drink loubiere water
As long as skerrit is prime minister of Dominica more disasters will hit Dominica.
Crystal ball told you that, Ms Cleo?
It is stipid to suggest that the cost of the PM out fit is insignificant particularly in our time of need. A French president I believe it was Sarkozy was seen wearing a very expensive watch diring the time the French economy was doing very bad. The news reporter captured his wrist with the watch on during a public appearance and the matter was a huge scandal. It must so be noted that Sarkozy was also accused of corruption.
What was of significance is the fact that ehilr the French people wereunder economic preszure the president was evidently living a lavish life style. The same scrutiny should apply to the PM in our time of need and hardship

hahaha but who tell allu is d man that buy his shirt? he has a lot of friendsss. He got it from one of his many friends.. A a I doh see with allu. something allu(me too) can never afford…
Sakwais sort by the laws of Dominica the PM is sippose to declare gifts worth more than $1000 or thereabout. Yoh Laborats are just too ignorant. Sakwais mootor Batali
Eat your heart out! Because you cannot afford it.
18 ministers in a poor island. Rich Trinidad has only 23 ministers with a population 20 times that of Dominica.
Now he is wearing expensive shirts to promote help for a poor island
Did anyone think that the PM got that shirt a few days ago just to make an appearance at the Concernt? Common people – the man must have had his shirt months ago and decided to wear it. So what if he wears his shirt – I guess he will be a bit aware of what he wears after all this hoopla. He will have to wear his bowman to go to formal functions… give me a break. This is so trivial I have no idea why we cant get it.
Omg you Dominican people
..when you guys gonna leave this man alone and stop criticizing him!! Are you guys serious ?? This is a Prime Minister are telling the man he should dressed up in rags, when we Dominicans always spending our last dollar buying named brand clothes , bags ,shoes …don\’t you all see how the woman and men dressed up like celebrities??? Mr prime Minister you and your wife deserves to look good too!! selfish people grow up and leave Skerrit alone!!!
The point is, he cancelled the Creole Music Fest, meanwhile he all over attending everybody else relief concert and having fun at our expense. Gabbed up in thousand dollar button downs. While the people here suffering and trying to deal with life or a lack of life in the place. No emotional relief no sense of ease up for many. He tell us to just give the donations in $$ instead of having private aid concerts which can raise revenue in place of the fest. even the community day of service jump up cancel. meanwhile he sewoing hard like a mouse because the cat is away. it even seeming like hunting season cancel.
The community Day of service jump up should be banned/ cancelled forever. It is a useless event that defeats the purpose. After we clean, we go in the streets and litter as we are accustomed to. Litter bugs need to stay home after the clean up campaign – stay at your homes and litter as much as you like. I am happy that the Community Day Street jump up is cancelled! Great idea!!! Litter Bugs Stay Home!!!
Go read a book. All you dominicans like too much sewo.
By the way after all this is said, just to let you know, this a gift to the PM by a proud Dominican. May God bless the people do Dominica.
oh yeah ?? a gift?? dop you also know what he have done to get that kind of gift from the man ? duty free concession ? tax exemption ?? please precise, apprarently you know the story
OMG how lovely! Our Prime Minister was dressed in this ultra expensive VERSACE outfit to a fund raiser for our storm ravaged country. He was even dressed better than the Acting Prime Minister of Barbados who was in attendance and the Leader of the Opposition of Barbados who organized the fund raiser.
So I know you Domiincans trying to figure out why dress like this. Obviously he had to stand out from among the rest. So when the news goes around, those persons hesitant to attend the show would rush to attend.
Remember we do not want ration is cash we want. What better way to attract attention than to dress in VERSACE to bring in the crowds. And trust me, if Prime Minister Skerrit was not starring at that concert, I doubt people would have attended.
It is so easy for us to move away from the facts. How many useless comments about the shirt. My my people you all never cease to amaze me. He is the Prime Minister. Have you all not understood this yet. What is clothes but bedding…
You all are more concerned about materialistic things than the real issues at hand…many idiotic comments about the PM shirt… DNO should not even print these childish silly comments. But then again it is a mouth peice for everyone.we are all entitled to our opinions
I’ve read through all the comments and if you read the comments before the topic you would swear the topic was “the PM’s Shirt”
Real small mined people, pathetic is a better word.
That’s the mentality of a few Dominicans who continue to dominate and try to push their agenda via social media and news outlets like this one. The majority of Dominicans think differently. As a matter of fact on the ground in DA is quite differently. They try to be everywhere in order to attack the integrity of the PM. These people are the reason why I don’t like politics. They are sickening. God bless DA.
THose roso south people are so loving and kind
Dominican men should not be seen with two kibuli in their hsndd whining behind a woman but the PM is deen at a fund raiser wearing a shirt that cost more than the monthly salary of a Permanent Secretary.
In the middle of Erika missery wifey on dedignated flight to go America to have her second American kid.
I thought on hands on deck call for thee ultimate sacrifice s- that we all share the sorrows and poor health care.
But we the people get the arrogant and corrupt politicians we uphold. We confone wrong and the corrupt men and women run roughshod on the innocent ,ihnorant and efucated sychophants.
Do you own a spell check? Jeeez. Then again what you need is a hard slap across your face with a swing into english….
You laborats dont read anyway so Lang Mama decided not to be folly.
Makak=monkey
Just another idiot.
Lang Mama you are very narrow minded – Skerrit is not Dominica my boss stop your OBSESSION over the man personal business…….
Erika damaged a significant section of Dominica, but that didn’t shut down the country, we still have business going on so if he send his wife to America to make baby what that have to do with me as a Dominican?? It’s the man business!!!!!! He does get a salary as PM and so he can spend it on what makes him happy, just like you and everyone else….. You guys carrying on as if ERIKA destroyed Roosevelt Skerrit and not the island Dominica,,,,, SMDFH
Really man? Just imagine a mother prepare meals for the children but will not eat the same food and prefer eat at fancy restaurant whe the children must eat her crapy food.
A Calypso is in the making on dis shirt. In times of sorrow the “pm” should dress in SACKCLOTH AND ASHES.” Not in no celebratory fashion.
@Lang Mama. Thats a big lie, you can’t spell. Further, why would you lower your intelligence for somebody else. You can’t spell sweetie. Stop it. Don’t be hating because you cannot afford the Versace shirt.
Many Dominicans must not continue to bury their heads in the sinking sand.
What excuse could be given for Skerritt to evade the important UN General Assembly, absent himself, refuse to speak, explain, dialogue with the world leaders, hundreds of them there, plus the millions who would listen to Dominica’s plight? Opportunity lost, Big time.
But alas !!!!! Attendance at that Barbados concert was priority. No presence to recognize the great efforts of UWI, WICB, WI players at the Cricket relief Match in same Barbados. Dr. Benjamin, your services are badly needed.
It’s mind-boggling. But wait. Since the revelation of FBI’s arrest of NG Lap Seng in the US, fear has crept in some circles. The net is closing in. Expect anything irrational. Dominicans brace yourselves. Expect the unexpected. But do not be surprised at narcissist behaviours.
Wey papa Skerrit wearing the same shirt that the MDTH guy wearing.When Dominicans do wake up they Will be to hungry and poor
You don’t see the gifts they got when visiting Malaysia? Oh my God!
gifts are gifts. You cant blame the receiver. That is one thing.
You being hungry doesn’t mean that the rest of DA are hungry. If anyone on this island is hungry it’s because of their laziness. I suggest you speak for yourself.
not sure when dominicans will recognize that this man displays the demeanor of those dictators that print their names on their suits
Really! And how is that? SMH
I took him for Mighty Sparrow without the mic.
Is he wearing alligator skin shoes?
loom at that man outfit. does he have a similar mental condition like michael jackson?
What does the outfit have to do with Michael Jackson? I dont get it. This is a high end designer shirt from Versace (pronounced Versachey). Looks dumb on him but its a bad piece of gabs Too Late.
One of the most recognisable and elaborate designs in the fashion world, Versace brings out their iconic print on a lavish looking bomber jacket. Constructed from quilted silk, the opulent bomber features the brand’s signature design print and a price tag of £1500.
We attempted to dissuade the Hon. Prime Minister from wearing this outfit, as such extravagance does not portray the visual message of humility which he should be striving for, but we were not convincing enough.
He will wear this when he goes begging for money to be sure!
You are joking. You’re even criticizing him for wearing an outfit? You are a bold person. Does anyone dissuade you from wearing whatever you feel like? What if you were invited to a wedding, a cocktail party or going out to some fancy restaurant? Because of your supposedly humility, if you have any, what would you have worn, house and casual clothes?
For goodness sake he is a West Indian/Dominican – from the Caribbean. He attended a concert where the majority would be attired in similar fashion. Why should he not have the freedom and right to wear this outfit to suit the occasion? It is not a crime nor immoral. People as you have nothing else to do but to scrutinize and nit-pick everything the PM does. This is a poor habit and attitude. Bad person.
The Hon. Prime Minister was attending a function at which he was representing the people of Dominica. This was not a private or personal matter like his son’s bar mitzvah or his niece’s quinceañera.
You claim “He attended a concert where the majority would be attired in similar fashion.” Are we to conclude that he was consuming excessive amounts of alcohol and smoking marijuana if the majority were so doing? We think not. He is neither a follower nor a performer. He is a leader. Our leader.
As debonair as he looks in it, common sense dictates that even if it was a gift, wearing such an outfit was inappropriate for this occasion. Our clothes say a great deal about who we are and can signal a great deal of socially important things to others, even if the impression is actually unfounded.
Nonetheless, we The Authorities respect your opinion, so let’s agree to disagree on this issue.
@The Real Facts October 5, 2015
I am very glad to read that comment of yours above–that should cause the 44 people to put their foot in their mouth, who gave that “imposter” thumbs up, because they though it was you; but I know that it wasn’t–and I know who it is.
I am talking about something some one wrote one day last week; but they used your blog name except that person left out the “s” as you write in “Facts”–something to do with reading a Gazette; which turned you around from being the side of our PM–I knew that it was all a lie., and you did not write it–glad to have you back again.
And the other note, I completely agree with you. The PM is attending a social event of Caribbean music and dancing –did Dominicans expect him to wear a funeral suit? But how foolish.
Anyway I doubt that PM Skerrit will take on that kind of foolish and childish outburst –by now he should be used to that–he has better things to take care of.
You couldn’t have said it better.
shame shame and more shame!!!
click bellow and you will understand : official Versace site.

Sjould he have dressed in pai fig? I have one too. Got it at Marshalls
Liar there is no Versace at Marshalls
What if it was a gift
When Joshua becomes our party leader he will soon become the new Pm of Dominica. I must however commend The Pm on a great yet basic speech which incidentally was very well received. Thanks to Barbados for your love and support especially Mia MOttley – your esteem leader of the opposition. She reminds me so much of our very own Joshua Francis and the sooner he becomes our leader the bettThis is the only way that our UWP can win any election. He is the best person to do that job now and I do hope that all honest members and supporters of Team Da gives him that chance – the sooner is the better- now or never.
Too much nonsense is happening in our country and our party and Joshua is the best person to clean things up. Our party and likewise Dominica needs to grow up for us to get out of this big hole . He is new blood and is bright and honest and well loved and charismatic and very popular and best qualified to replace Skeritt- trust me if UWP doesnt want him labour might take him…
Carcon we are getting tired of you trying to split team Dominica. That is too obvious and not very clever. Even I can see that. All you are showin g is that you are desperate.
@JOSHUA FOR LEADER October 5, 2015
Except that, that mentality of yours is no different from the rest of Dominicans, who cannot understand that we cannot get anywhere by completely relying on the strength of our leader–no matter who he or she is. Pertaining to the welfare and development of a Nation, there is no production through a “one man show”–are you people thinking about this?
What you think Mr. Francis can do, so can Mr. Skerrit–but neither of them can do it on their own. What Dominicans need to do, is to stop looking at a leader as a big daddy, who will feed you all on a sliver platter–they need your contribution, no matter how small–maybe your own eating utensils; how about that!
Ridiculous! Why do you think businesses and organizations in the world pay CEOs that much money? Think about it.
So after all these years Skerrit has not groomed someone to replace his incompetence?.And you are there like a doormat accepting that?YOU MUST BE A LAZY AND SYCOPHANT.
if you want to know how much the pm spend for his shirt, check this!!!
http://us.versace.com/men/ready-to-wear/shirts/220300,en_US,sc.html
and be carefull…..your heart might stop when you will see the price, even if he get a discount.
Maybe his wife get it wholesale?
She did not get it wholesale at all! she/ he bought it straight from the store. Hater
Jalousie!!! Not all you that rich na saying all you rich! Don’t grudge!
Did you expect him to go to the concert with all these dignitaries in casual wear? If you did, you are narrow-minded and wicked..
Man, that is casual wear, except it is casual wear by Versace. He supposedly studied psychology so he knows jolly well that whatever he wears or even his hair style will be scrutinized because what we wear is not just for ourselves but to send a message, to make a statement , to impress. That is why the pope wears that long dress and a funny little hat and a queen or a king a crown and a policeman a uniform and you don’t wear swimming trunks to church. Get smart bro.
oh so u saw what all the others were wearing…..it was a concert not a cocktail reception at the white house…..wicked allu people wicked eh….the man telling people no wcmf because DA people cannot be seen with a kubuli in one hand…how much a kubuli cost????? but he can be seen wearing a shirt for over a 1000USD……mordara…..and civil servant saying they wont ask for increase for the next year, when the PM wear more than their salary and more than an astaphan’ worker two months salary.
“In this crowd I see no Antiguans, St Lucians, Trinidadians, Jamaicans, Dominicans or Barbadians,” he said as the crowd cheered. “I see an experience of one people from the region.”
i can believe it!! one people from the region? before you start to united the Caribbean people try this with your own people instead of spending a lot of effort to divide them. the south against the North, the red against the Blue, the Farmer against all the other, the private against the public sector. that enough you play enough with the people. your people will show you how they can come together to send you back home.
you are right Mister PM ” many river to cross ” put don’t forget the rest of the lyrics..” but i can’t seem to find my way over”………..
Your people are dividing themselves. Just read over your comments and understand divisiveness in it.
What boy a versace shirt, garcon that expensive we!
Made in China. Custom made, nice Shirt. Heading to “G”.Q! Magazine.
Seriously speaking, for real that Michael Jackson had some shirt designed with similar print. The man liming, he at a concert, he has to look the occasion
Hater! Go get yours haha!
There was Pharoah. He pressed Moses but Jah did let his people go. Putting on Michael Jackson brogodow and preaching unity in Barbados when you pressing your own people is your sad legacy. People dying at PMH because you cannot accept Dominicans who disagree with you is the work of petty tyrant. And the Bible tells what happened Pharoah. In one storm all is taken away. You still have not humbled yourself to make real unity come. Fake. Charity starts at home
Calling the kettle black? You forgot yourself? The same applies to you.
you guys talking bout wardrobe malfunction bout what you guys dont know wont kill all you the man shirt cost $1295us. look it up on Versace site New Iconic print silk shirt. Respect skerro eh the man is a boss
Yes in all you mer!!!! Check him!!!
I can’t help but shake my head. Unity is a fine thing but Roosevelt Skerrit can’t even achieve that in his own little country where, after being in power for more than ten years more than 40% of the voters are against him. Good luck Roosevelt but I seriously think you are one delusional leader, who dreams of being in charge of the entire Caribbean under Alba, including the French islands…yes, we heard your address in Fort de France last year! I believe that is the undertaking you gave to uncle Hugo, but uncle Hugo is dead and his replacement can not cut the mustard.
What have you stated? You are one of those who do not contribute to unity and peace.
Michelle Henderson appeared at the two relief concerts over the weekend. One in Dominica and one in Barbados. Maybe the people of Petite Savanne were not important to Skeritt, therefore he sent Darroux to represent him. By the way, he was conspicuously dressed for the international press. I hope they don’t report that he was seen wining and dinning with a montgay and a banks in his hands. Remember he was concerned about Dominicans being seen by the rest of the world with two kubuli in their hands having a great time after the passage of Erika. Do as I say, but not as I do.
I hope the organizers of this show did not hand the proceeds to Skerrit??!
The mouth/tongue is dangerous tools. So is the mind and the fingers on the keyboard. This represents you,
“Tools” is plural as is “fingers”, to be conjugated with “are”. May I suggest you educate yourself in the basics of language before commenting.
It is a shmae to have Skerritt as my P.M
De man was not even at the U.N summit to address the world , to tell them about our plight down here, but there he was dancing in a fete.
Sometimes your efforts will be better served if you just take that ill-earned money and go meet your family out there.
Resign now!
Speak for yourself. I wonder who you are. I am wondering if I would not be as much as ashamed to know someone as you?
Nice one here Facts! Hehehehehehehehehehehe! I am having fun!
Fellow Dominicans, I regret to inform you that due to the passage of Tropical Storm Erika we were forced to cancel the World Creole Music Festival, which is a product of the United Workers Party (UWP) created in 1997 to stimulate economic activity, increase visitor arrivals and spending during the independence season.
And while fellow Dominicans I had a ball of a time in Barbados at the concert, and I even tried to sing Jimmy Cliff’s “Many Rivers Cross”, you all will have to wait until next year for the World Creole Music Festival, and let’s hope another storm do not pass before.
And it doesn’t matter if there is no WCMF since it’s a workers brain child any way, we might just call it something else we can call our own.
You guys sound like an ungrateful lot
They are extremely ungrateful. What is more, due to their very words, they are heaping burning coals on their heads.
No one heals him/herself by offending others.
@ Frank, they are not so much ungrateful as much as they are “rude” and “disrespectful”! The man is their Prime Minister; are they saying that he doesn’t know what to wear for a certain occasion?
They are also like “country bookies” too; writing comments about things, which they do not understand–they don’t know that they are making themselves a “laughing stock” to the world. Good grief!
He can have fun but we must not have any here. He has a lovely of together with a young lady on Facebook, the only thing missing were the beers in his hand.
You are free to organize a party and invite all those whom you know. You could also ask them for a donation to assist Dominica, especially those who were affected by TS Erika. You could match their donations. This is an act of charity, better than criticisms and throwing derogatory words at your PM.
How do you expect to receive God’s blessings and graces? Do you not know that your words deny yourself God’s blessings, graces and virtues?. Furthermore, people as you set a bad example.
“All ah we is one Caribbean,” the prime minister stated… You are not serious- What about All ah we is one Dominica Mr. Skerrit ? that was a show and you were one the ‘actors’ and ‘performers’.I don’t believe that for a second Roosevelt.. You are not serious or sincere when comes to Dominica and those who don’t like or support you and your government. In Barbados you were performing that was it Mr.
The Emperor’s New Clothes?
Not yet Erasmus, the tiara was missing.
Among officials at the concert were acting Prime Minister of Barbados Richard Sealy.
I guess the PM of Barbados felt so insulted by Skerrit that he had to stay away and send his deputy. After all, this was a concert organized by the opposition Barbados Labor Party. That action alone speaks of disunity amongst CARICOM.
“In this crowd I see no Antiguans, St Lucians, Trinidadians, Jamaicans, Dominicans or Barbadians,” he said as the crowd cheered. “I see an experience of one people from the region
In such a large crowd Skerrit saw one Caribbean. I wish this hypocrite PM would see one people in Dominica instead of categorizing us as workers, and start to victimize us.
Pawol ah bush say pa met, say sawe ka fe
Jalousie c’est met sorcere.
The Prime Minister of Barbados is off island, that’s why there is an acting Prime Minister in the first place.
@ Mike, I am no fool even if I am a passing cloud. Most political leaders plan to leave the country when they do not want to be part of something. Just ask Skerrit. The PM of Barbados felt betrayed by Skerrit seeing how he was the first country to come to his rescue after Erika, by arranging with the former PM of Trinidad to give him a helicopter ride to Dominica, and sent his people to help with the search and rescue effort. Less than a month later, Skerrit is already appearing at a concert organized by the Opposition? Margweysa Skerrit!
Imagine for one second how Skerrit would have treated it if the PM of Barbados came to Dominica to be part of an event organized by UWP. Boy I bet you neither Skerrit, nor his deputy if he has one, or any member of his party would attend no matter how important it was.
If Skero did not show up I believe the PM of Barbados would attend because of the cause. But to see it is organized by the opposition labor party and Skero coming.? Hell no!
Mike and acting Prime Minister is never in the first place. He comes second and that is precisely why he is acting.
Passing cloud, isn’t it just great that our Prime Minister is so loved, not only in Dominica but all over the Caribbean? Isn’t that great for Dominica. it makes me feel proud to be a Dominican and see so many people coming to our aid in our time of need. I say Praise God.
You can truly tell who your friends are and who are not your friends especially in times of a disaster.
Thank you Barbados for your friendship, your love and caring. Thank you to every country, every group and every individual who have come our help. Dominica is a blessed land.
You get an acting PM when the actual PM is out of the country or ill.
You and those who make evil comments about the PM are bad-mouthed people and are placing curses on yourselves. It is not a laughing matter but a serious evil personality trait.
You should know that you sow, you shall reap in time and two-fold, when you least expect it.
What goes around comes around in time. It is better to do good than evil.
You and those who make evil comments about the PM are bad-mouthed people and are placing curses on yourselves. It is not a laughing matter but a serious evil personality trait.
You should know that what you sow, you shall surely reap in time and two-fold, when you least expect it.
What goes around comes around in time. It is better to do good than evil.
Any Dominican bands performed? Just asking?
Skeritt – your legacy shall be one of genuine Love for people and the significant advancement of our development as a people. May God greatly bless you for you mean good even if the task at hand is monumental but we are absolutely confident that we shall evolve into a greater and more prosperous and united people – all for each and each for all…..with the will of God we shall make it.
Thank you Barbados—people are not aware the some 200 plus Barbadian slaves were taken from that island and relocated to the Geneva Plantation during the slaving period ? Well that is a piece of History that many of us are not aware of. A review of the non French surnames in Grand Bay has marked similarities with those found in Barbados e.g Stewart, Benoit, Benn etc
May Jah make us work together in unity for our development in this time of crisis. Let us pray for our people and country for God is watching all of us. Blessed are the peace makers.
You either took a page from Peter R, or he inspired you, or you are Peter R. Brother of course you believe that his actions are out of genuine love. What you expect the man to do, the man want to stay in power so his actions must be seemingly one of love. He is trained in Psychology and he using his qualification well.
@syncronize October 5, 2015
It is that kind of mentality, which is keeping us at this slow space of development in Dominica!
Why don’t you think that “Luciamerci de la piton” doesn’t have his or her own mind to produce his/her own thoughts and to speak it out? Why bring up that stupid conclusion above.
When we do not know how to commend or applaud anything, whatsoever, how can we ever move from one level to the next? Now do you understand me?
@Luciamerci de la piton October 5, 2015
You have spoken on my behalf! Praise the Lord!
We the Authorities wish to apologise for the Hon. Prime Minister’s wardrobe malfunction. It was not intended to look so much like a Michael Jackson but more like a Jimmy Cliff.
I continue to be moved by the support given to us by our regional colleagues. My sincere thanks to the organizers, artists and patrons of this event. One Love. One Heart. One Caribbean. <3
It’s Me, Me, and Me skeritt. Who don’t like it, keep commenting.
The Prime Minister of Barbados addressed the United Nations last Friday. He is due to return to the island today.
Reassuring to see that the P.M. of Barbados has got his priorities right. P.M. Skerrit sent his factotum to the U.N. instead.
Have you noted their attitude toward their Dominica’s PM? One day these people will pay for what they state in a worst manner. They are bringing it upon themselves. It is coming.
