Denied a march, UWP to host public meetings

Linton said the UWP will be hosting two public meetings

The opposition United Workers Party will be hosting two public meetings on Thursday after the party was denied a march through Roseau which was organized for that same day.

The first meeting will be held at the Pottersville Hard Court at 5:00 pm while the other will be held in Lagoon at 7:00 pm, opposition leader Lennox Linton has revealed.

The UWP had planned the march through Roseau as it continues to call for the resignation of Prime Minister, Roosevelt Skerrit and had written to the Chief of Police, Daniel Carbon, for permission as dictated by the Constitution of Dominica.

However, in a letter, Carbon said permission was not granted.

“Be informed that pursuant to Section 5 (2) Public Order Act No. 501 of the Laws of Dominica, 1990 permission to hold a march on March 30, 2017 from 4:00 pm is denied for public safety and national security reasons,” the letter from Carbon to the UWP said.

Linton said the letter was dated March 24 but it was received by the UWP on March 27, just days before the march was expected to take place.

He described Carbon’s decision as ‘dictatorial’ and ‘brutal.’

“What Mr. Carbon is saying to us is that he believes and the National Security Minister has advised him, under the direction of the Prime Minister, that the peaceful march we planned on the 30th of March in Roseau from 5:00 o’clock to 6:30 or there about has created for them some concerns of public safety and some national security issues have come up as well having regard to a march,” he stated. “As though we have never marched in Dominica before, as though there has never been a procession of people from point A to point B. This is dictatorial, it’s brutal and we move on.”

He said the UWP is required under the laws of Dominica to have permission from the police to hold a march, which was “unreasonably” denied.

“But we are a law-abiding group, we will go on with our business and we will have two meetings,” Linton stated.

According to the laws of Dominica, one does not require permission from the police to hold a public meeting.

    “Mind your business in California. California is in a mess. When last you wrote the Mayor of California or Los Angeles and your MP?
    The big one is coming soon. There is already a lot of rain and vehicles going down in holes; houses are burning and much more”

    California burning, but when it burns and people lose all of their belongings, the government of California, nor city government in any city affected goes crying to the world and beg anybody for any handouts.

    California, state government nor city government, nor the governor does not sell diplomatic passport to get money. Californian has the worlds fifth largest economy, imagine that: a state within the continental United States has the fifth largest economy in the world; it is a State richer than many countries in Europe, larger than the economy of Russia. Ponder on that perhaps that will exposed to you the idiot you are!

    Amen Hon Linton, we will be there for sure and have a well demonstrated , Kool, clam, democratic walk to Roseau as we complete our meeting in Goodwill.
    This government is corrupt and the police force so called leaders ae weak and cannot stand to attention on their own. Skerrit must Go……SKERRIT MUST GO….SKERRIT MUST GO

      I will tell you seeing that you are so distracted on corrupt leaders and not the truth of your island Dominica that is in deep economical and social problems with high rising poverty and corruption.
      Hon Linton is a man of his own, intellectual, educated fair and open. His interests lies in Dominica and the pain and suffering of the we the Dominican people. So you see Skerrit must go because he is jut unable to rise to the standard and honesty of Hon Linton. Skerrit is surrounding by nincompoops and begs for the support of poor people who are in poverty. Skerrit is the Santa Claus of corruption and survives by fooling people like you, your family and your community. Skerrit Must go, see you and family tonight at the public meetings in good will and Roseau. Come prepared to kick Skerrit out.

    Good move!!

    You hold them!! The constitution of the Commonwealth of Dominica guarantees freedom of assembly. Just like how the Bishop needs no police permission to assemble catholics for prayer at the Cathedral, at a funeral or anywhere he so chooses, a political leader can keep a public meeting with no police permission.

    The locations of the two meetings are within walking distance and again the constitution guarantees freedom of movement of ALL Dominicans. Therefore no one has a legal right to stop meeting participants from walking from Pottersville Savannah to Lagoon.

    But based on the march in Roseau yesterday, I suspect that they will try to stop people on the way to Lagoon.

    Patriots, be prepared and do not allow any further violation of your constitutional rights!!

To all U W P followers save up your cash to help Linton pay his next law suit. This man is a real disaster.

    March 28, 2017

    Are we seeing and hearing that many Dominicans, (DA a Christian country?) continuing to hug on to DICTATORSHIP RULE by agreeing with those practicing intimidation, scare tactics (MILITARY POLICE marching today) to deny Dominican citizens from exercising their RIGHTS to ASSEMBLE PEACEFULLY and to protest, demonstrate against EVIL and DICTATORSHIP?

    But at the same time, harboring, HIDING an international FUGITIVE, who was arrested for embezzling millions upon millions of $$$$$$$ from Iran?

    So Monfared could hide in Dominica from interpol, under the noses of our Police and Law authorities, but you born Dominican is prevented from even expressing your concerns.

    Clear signs of DICTATORSHIP in Dominica. Believe it or not, but it is REAL.

    No other Dominican, but Skerritt has publicly proclaimed that NO LAW, NOT EVEN the CONSTITUTION could prevent him from …………. The world is getting more proof. Our DIPLOMATIC PASSPORTS in criminals’ hands, is a BIGGER SECURITY threat

    This man from Marigot appears to be causing Skeritt and the DLP some serious headaches, some serious sleepless nights. Remember the days of being a novice. Remember the days of being a nonentity. Remember the days of being uneducated. Remember the days of not possessing leadership qualities. In a few years, what do we have, a leader who they said was the best thing Dominica ever had since Mr. Leblanc, appears to be on his hands and knees praying for divine help to curtail the God given power of this man from Marigot. Many of us witnessed a spectacle and show of power in Roseau today, all because of this man from Marigot. You know what is really great, this simple man from Marigot, who was once referred to as a bully, a man who was referred to as a man who is always disgruntled, all he does is to speak and Dominicans obey. Skeritt was the one who under estimated this patriot, had he not asked him to join the political race, maybe he would he sleeping comfortable in his bed.

    These are meetings to stir up mischief. The UWP is fully aware of its agenda and desperation is setting in as the reasons they have put forward for the removal of Skeritt continue to look more empty and stupid with the passage of time. The only thing that is pushing the agenda of the UWP is greed and a lust for power. It is been over two years since Lennox as oppossition leader is calling for Skeritt and his Government to resign, so because Lennox is not in favor of how Skeritt is running the country Skeritt must go. Dr. Fontaine has long predicted that the economy would collapse, we are still waiting. With their conceit and arrogance it will be near impossible for the UWP to govern successfully if they happen to win the election, they continue to spread false expectations.

      Lennox is obsessed and with the support of the noon-day devil. Can we not see how evil he is, stirring up trouble in Dominica?
      Ever since Lennox became UWP Leader and James relinquished his Marigot seat to allow him to win the Marigot riding, he is staging protests and meetings. Is this all he is capable of doing?
      Dominica is doing relatively well. The economy will not fall. God is in control. Lennox and Fontaine have wild imaginings. I could not see any one of them suitable of operating the government.
      These men are sick. They may need to see a psychiatrist. These guys know what they are up to. Dominicans better beware and keep alert. They are acting stupidly; not to be trusted and should really be ignored.

      • There’s a certain Sukuyah that sits in her home in Canada not knowing the plight of Dominicans at home whom are impoverished, victimized, maligned and harassed for not accepting corruption and bad fiscal management in their Government. Yet, this Sukuyah uses her hypocritical righteousness (always using the name of God and Christ) to give full support to a Government that has been caught red-handed secretly handing out diplomatic appointments to crooks and criminals. She, the Sukuyah, fully endorses and supports the BIN BOBOL, FERTILIZER BOBOL, IPO SET UP of Linton, FIREBOMBING OF GON EMANUEL’S HOME and the ASSISTING OF AN INTERNATIONAL FUGITIVE FROM JUSTICE!!! Yet, she calls everyone who oppose these wrongdoings “wicked”, “unlawful”, and “trouble makers”. Don’t you think there is a special place in hell for hypocrites like this Sukuyah in Canada???? May God have mercy on her soul!!!!

      • Boy that sukuyant there is already burning in hell. She lie like the devil himself. Here is a lie she told out of the blue she said something has happened to former President Obama, because he Obama tried to muzzle the roman catholic church!

        The only other two people I know lie like her, is Roosevelt Skerrit, and that boy from Castle Bruce Drigo. I mean they simply pull straws from the sky and present it. That truth be told the day she is identified, police is going to lock her up for all the lies she told!

    • Anon you are a as stupid as they come ; you are a fool!

      If the opposition does not have the right to hold meetings, and organized public demonstrations, that means our system of government cannot be classified as a democracy!

      There are six different forms of government:

      .autocracy

      .oligarchy
      .constitutional
      .authoritarian
      .totalitarian
      .democracy

      In a totalitarian system such government typically dominate, and or control every sphere of political, economic, and social life of the people, and that is what Skerrit has accomplished in Dominica, and that is why you wrote that crap not knowing Skerrit has usurped all your commonsense, and have your mind in his power.

      In a democracy, the more people participate, and if the populace is deemed to have some influence over their actions, that government is tending towards democracy. Whereas the government has decided not to issue a permit to demonstrate, that classify our system a totalitarian system, or total communism!

    Mr. Linton and his surrogates know very well what they are doing. It is all part of the script to get PM Skerrit out of office by any means necessary, even if by illegal means. They are agitating for some kind of government/police reaction so that they can have a cause. What difference will it make if a meeting was held in Pottersville and or Roseau rather than two public meetings to be held within half a mile of each other on the same day. The purpose is very clear. To so push the authorities that something will give. Why would Mr. Linton want to bring his thugs back in Roseau at night? This is only to say that his hypocritical tears on February 8th following his day of damnation was just that ‘hypocritical tears”. But we go see. Owners of business places in Roseau must be vigilant and or take every precaution to protect their life and property. It will back fire on Linton. He wants to detract attention from KPB, Skerrit and Francine. The outcome is boldly staring him in the face.

      Lennox is a hater. He has no love in his heart. Those who hate are possessed by the devil.
      God is a God of love, unity and peace. He has commanded that we practice these godly virtues to one another with no exception.
      What Lennox is doing in Dominica is extremely displeasing to our patient God. As God is noticing, what Lennox and his supporters are sowing, eventually they will reap it and two-fold.

      No doubt you are firmly entrenched in Skerritt’s grace and favour but please dont be blind to clear logic.
      No other country has had as many secretly appointed foreign diplomats under international criminal scrutiny. Not to mention illegal banking and sanction breaking activities all under the remit of Roosevelt Skerritt’s governance.
      Unless you are a major beneficiary of this type of activity, I fail to understand your ignorance of these clear facts to support a regime that will fly its mercenary voters in to scrape through the next election.
      I’m afraid that you, Sir, are representative of that low minded selfish mentality that will keep Skerritt in place to abuse and sell Dominica right under your nose.
      However, when the rich foreign passport holders cannot find a safe berth elsewhere and decide to come here there will be nothing that you or Skerritt will be able to do when they take over the place and make Dominicans second class citizens in their own home.

    So the march is on anyway. With or without Daniel Carbon’s permission. How the hell he expects the people to move from Pottersville to Roseau. They will not run or swim. They must march into Roseau anyway, Carbon. So UWP march is on. What a way to “peacefully” circumvent the law. According to Linton he does not need permission of the police to hold a meeting. I suppose he meant even if the meeting is held in a public space. Would he need the assistance of the police to control the traffic since he is planning to bring thousands of people into Roseau? A mega rally. Will he be able to control the crowds without interfering with the free flow of traffic?

    Well Mr. Linton I will be present to attend your meetings but I and many others are coming to camp and have fun in Roseau. After the uwp meeting is over we the people will be hosting a voluntary camp that is opened to the public. During that camp there will be many good speakers and NO uwp candidate will be allowed to speak or testify. The floor will be opened to everyone else, including PM Skerrit, whom we expect to address us at some time. We cannot say how long we shall be camping for but we can promise that camp will not be over until we hear acceptable words from Hon. PM Roosevelt Skerrit. If PM decides not to address us during the camp and decides to do so via DBS or Kairie, as long as his address is acceptable to us, we will work with him. So come one come all and remember THIS IS NOT A UWP CAMP and this camp has NO leader since all of us the people are leaders.

    It is so shameful to see and hear all those people who would rather beg Skerrit than ask him for a job. This friend of mine called to tell me that she got $100. from Skerro after standing in a line , but what she was upset about was the fact that her friends rejoined the line and received another $100 more than her. Sad part of the story is , she is 36 years old, married with two kids , but is happy to stand on a line to be humiliated by Skerro. I would like to know , since when Dominicans have become beggars?
    My people, Skerrit will be happy to hand you guys money to keep you all dependent on him. This is a no way out situation. Now I see why Skerro has so much support in Da.

      It is unfair that the other people returned for more money. This is not fair to the others. There should be some better form of organization when handing money. Only htose who qualify should receive this assistance.
      I have already suggested how it could be done. It should not be done in this manner, by hand.

    I do not have a problem with the two meetings although I wished Mr. Linton had ask supporters to come with a sheet / blanket mattress and pillow so we could spend the night there and a few more nights if needs be. I guess Linton the politician might be in trouble for saying that therefore I and I as a citizen of Dominica do urge the general public that they should treat these two meetings as a an evening camp, and therefore they should hold all the necessary things they would be in need of for a camp. Hold a pot, hold charcoal, hold charcoal pot, hold coffee, hold bush tea, bring some oats and everything that you would be in need of for a good old time camp in the streets of Roseau and please note that the good old camp may last for many days as required to get the peaceful gospel message out.

    A, A! I thought you said the last time that you don’t need permission. So why apply to the commissioner this time around for permission? Didn’t your lawyer advisor who once worked at the office of the DPP advise you that you don’t need permission?

    After what happened the last time, do you really believe that any right thinking person would fall for that nonesense again? Then you come washing your hands like Pontius Pilate and pretending to denounce the violence! Qui moun ou ka prend pour sot? Stupes…..

    It is amazing to hear Dominicans speak. it sounds like we are in a jungle, The freedom GOD gave to man ,they are giving it up for a few cents, They are making themselves gods on earth, aLAS, It really seems that ,from the time labour came, God left , Satan is really in control

      Watch your words. When you make such a statement, who will agree with you?
      I think it is the opposite. Since Lennox became UWP Leader and because of James he won the Marigot riding, the devil stepped in and gained control of his heart, mind and soul.

    I have observed that since after Skerrit saw an overthrow of his government by a stalled truck with speaker,both Skerrit himself and his acolytes,goons and beggars have distancied themselves from the words COUP and OVERTHROW…Is it because the CARICOM investigators laughed at his absurdity???

    I never thought in my life time I would see the day when the people of Russia would have more democratic rights then the people of Dominica. I believe, in time to come, if Skeritt remains in office for another five years, China, Cuba, Syria will all have more democratic rights then Dominica. :(

      Some people are capable of exaggerating. You must have taken a course in it.
      Who said the people of Russia have a democratic government and are freer than Dominicans? They also have no freedom of religion.
      Do some more reading and listening on Russia.
      Dominicans are happy people but Linton and his supporters make others believe that Dominica is not a free country. Linton is the dictator. He would make a good (not meaning good; just a figure of speech) non-democratic government. Dominicans must keep their eyes on him and all what he does.

  38. There was a time when one expected the behavior, of the government and that of the puppets like Daniel could only be found in the former Soviet Union, or places like China, and Venezuela.

    Nevertheless, we saw a massive demonstration in Russia last week end; people demonstrating against corruption within the Russian government, where one official the president of Russia owns billions of dollars of Real Property; no less than five luxury estates, he has two luxury Yachts and even a duck house, for his ducks, about the size of the Dominica State House, that’s what caused the people of Russia to take to the streets and demonstrate.

    Closer to home; if we listen carefully, we can hear the cry of the Venezuelan people who are currently brutalized in the streets of Venezuela, but even that in that socialist bankrupt state, the people are still free to march, and protest their dictatorship. This gestapo government must fall, and the people must bring it down! Our constitutional l…

    Law-abiding group my toosh! Pushing for the resignation of the Prime Minister “by any means necessary” does not suggest that you all abide by the law. I wouldn’t be surprised if you all march to town from Pottersville on Thursday, seeing that you never follow instruction.

    • queenzy
      March 28, 2017

      so so true

    • So, who the hell is Roosevelt Skerrit that we cannot call for his resignation?

      The man is corrupt, the keep the nation down in politics, the leaders of the country must produce. They have to be able to attract investors to the country. They have to create sustainable jobs!

      More than 80% of the people in Dominica are unemployed, people born, live, become old, and die never held a job in their entire life! Dominica. Roosevelt Skerrit has reduced of you to the status of beggars, depending on him for a handout.

      How many of you are getting a pay cheque from the same of diplomatic passports? Look around you fool you will notice the few who live comfortable, in the country driving expensive cars, and a more decent house to live in are drudge dealers, the politicians like Skerrit, and the people who sells Dominica passports.

      Recently Skerrit gave three of his friends millions of dollars, say to build hotels, how much has he given you fool?

        “people born, live, become old, and die never held a job in their entire life!” Is Francisco Dodds Telemacque serious about what he just wrote. Is he aware that PM Skerrit is only in government for a mere 14 years? You mean “people born, live, become old, and die never held a job in their entire life! during the 14 years Pm Skerrit is in office. Boy what people can say when they hare you eh!!

      • John, I could never be more serious!

        If you question that; and you are living in Dominica look around you, and ask questions. Some people were able to survive due to the Banana Industry which is all but dead.

        Guy I know people in their sixties (60’s) this very day living in Dominica, in Wesley who never held a job in that over sixty years of living. And do not mention agriculture; that is not what’s it all about! Just travel across Dominica, and see how many men women and children still walking bare feet in the twenty-century.

        I you have any doubt, that will help you to understand!

      • ” Is Francisco Dodds Telemacque serious about what he just wrote. ”

        In any event, maybe you are not talking to be because my name is Francisco Etienne-Dods Telemaque okay! There is no “C” in Telemaque, so too Dods is spelt correctly as I wrote it. There are lots of people who spells their name with three D’s that is wrong! I can prove them wrong, but that is not my pleasure at the moment!

  41. Citizens should not rely on Politicians to decide when and where there will be protest action. True protests should be spontaneous and organized/initiated by Citizens united for a particular and MEANINGFUL cause! No amount of talking will change anything in Dominica when it comes to the current Government. The politicians are hoping that numbers will scare the Government into changing course or, better yet, resigning. We Dominicans all know that a meeting on Thursday will be no different than any other meeting; Just politicians and guest speakers making speeches. Until and unless Dominicans organize among themselves and come out in great numbers to DEMAND the resignation of Roosevelt Medard Skerrit and his entire Cabinet of enablers & co-conspirators NOTHING WILL CHANGE!!!

  42. March 28, 2017

    The police are only doing their job. If the police deems your march may be a threat, then by all means, they should disallow it. And they have every right to do so, just look at what their last one led to!

  43. March 28, 2017

    IT Is high time we all come to the conclusion that. We need a Peace Summit in Dominica. Let all stakes holders, and Representatives of the people come together and speak to each other, rather than talk at each other, without that approach, in my opinion the situation is going to get complicated, and in the end Dominica looses all Respect, and admiration of the outside world. I know some might be quick to point out that Dominica has already lost, but in life the only experience that takes us to a higher moral level of enjoying life going forward is to learn from our past mistakes, look into the mirror and make a change for the good of man kind. Presently, as i see it! it`s a race to a power Grab, and there`s seems to be profound hatered, and personal Agenda`s while we keep kicking the empty can down the road, and resulting in more noise, and affecting the quality of every one`s life weather we are prepared to admit or not. Can we all get along? The only solution in my opinion.

    I think you might better spend your time working out how to become a more effective opposition, publishing your policies and long term strategy for the country. The PM isn’t going to resign, whatever you say and do, so focus instead on becoming more electable. It is incumbent upon you as leader of the opposition to provide Dominicans with a viable alternative – which currently you are not, in my view. Surely it’s time to up your game instead of wasting time with all this playground nonsense.

Allow the people to speak at the poles and stop inciting the violent behaviour. Everything you Lennox do is questionable. Never has there in the history of our democracy has any opposition leader be so hungry for power that he will do anything to destroy a country. You are like a child craving attention from his parents who throws tantrums when his wants are not met. This march you planned is not about the people…its all about you… Everything Lennox does is about Lennox
