    I don’t get it! How could you cancel a DAILY briefing that’s been going on for a month due to scheduling conflict with a funeral? Did Stanley die this morning and had to be buried today? Did they only decide to give him a state funeral this morning? Is it their way of saying their daily briefing is nothing more than a show and is not really important? Lastly, is this further proof of the government’s incompetence, disorganized, cannot plan and just needs to go? If they CANNOT manage a simple thing as a funeral, how the hell are they going to lead Dominica out of this mess that we are in? For goodness sake they just need to go now!

  2. I am positive are U?

    Pm wants us to be positive so I will do my best to be positive. One thing being positive is not always spelt YES. It’s a fact that Dominica suffered a massive blow from Maria. She put us on our knees and though we might be down for a while, we don’t have to plan on staying down for good because as we know, God is good all the time. But here are some things that must take place if we are going to get out of this:
    1. The PM Must resign immediately with his entire cabinot.
    2. The president Must install a government of national unity comprised of the best minds of the UWP, DFP & DLP ( definitely no one who ever served with Skerrit and was a friend of Skerrit).
    3. At this time I suggest Dr. Christian as interim PM because we need to be united.
    4. As soon as that team has sworn in, Mr. Savarin should immediately resign and Crispin Gregoire should be interim President.

        Everybody has a right to dream even though that dream is nonsensical or unattainable.

        No point shouting ‘Skerrit must go’ all the time. We all know he won’t go and he can’t go unless we all force him to go. I would have thought that Dominica and Dominicans have not hing to loose anymore, so now is it he time and rise and force him to go!

      Do not make me laugh. :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: You are a joker. :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:
      It is a good thing everyone is not of the same mind otherwise woe to Dominica and the peace-loving Dominicans who want what is good for Dominica.
      You call these people “national unity” ones? You are looking for chaos and more disunity in Dominica. This is not being confident. Keep yourself quiet and learn to be confident.

  3. Daily Lies

    Local News: Press briefing has been cancelled. Why? Due to a scheduling conflict with the funeral of former MP. Not even that Gov can get right? More local news: Blow-go-dowe distribution continues to suffer as government ministers continue to use food to play politics for with food.
    Regional News: PM of Antigua reported that Dominica is making fifty million dollars monthly on sale of passport. Former PM of ST Kitts Denzil Douglas says DA seeld passport for $150K. Meanwhile Skerrit has hired a failed Bajan as his financial advisor
    International news:
    CNN in an article on how North Korea is using Hong Kong to hide their laundered money, informed the world that while investigating that matter they ran into a North Korean money launderer by the name of Unaforte’s , holding a Dominica passport.
    The New York post also reported that while investigating the same matter they ran into another launderer by the name of Mr. Zhaoc with a passport from DR, but we know he meant Dominica
