Scores of people have gathered in close to parliament as the UWP kept good its promise to hold a public meeting to protest the process leading to the election of a new president for Dominica.
People began gathering as early as 9:00 am.

I voted for labour on the princeples of Mike ,Rosei,Peire Chalse and the others before them that all shall eat.Now these guys have turnd it to some shall eat and when you want to eat ask us we will give you a topup.Never me again not for that group of heartless men.
I wonder if the opposition did not say anything what would have happened, stand up for those who cant for themselves do what is right. when all this is over then there will be no one to say that they did nothing,
Dominicans getting to understand how cor roped they are .
AMEN
These are de same police officers that telling you they doh have ride to come and investigate a burglary in de middle of Roseau. Fellas some if you maybe too young to remember the 70s and 80s ask all you parents and past teachers non. but again time and only time will tell
way papa look talk, blajay you call that. Labour supporters stand out in the discussion as those with empty nonsensical statements full of mepuis. They sound like parrots and bad dogs without teeth barking at everything even the wind without first stopping to think and say something sensible. Dominique ka playwe. Too many illiterate concentrated in this one little island. No wonder labour won 18 seats. Alas Bon dieu!
SCORES of people (aka 20’s of people) is true!!..LOL
allu must come beter dan dat…
Dominicans on a whole are just a ban Zea Zea…
Dominicans…..A people wallowing in ignorance and illiteracy
I really love how some Dumbnicans like to say “Dominicans” Excluding themselves from the rest, like they born are Spanish born in some country like Spain or dutch and born in Netherlands… #Keep degrading yourself.
YES! INDEED! we SERIOUSLY need remediation for our uneducated adults and functionally illiterate young people.
And how did you come to that conclusion…
After listening to all the comments made by Mr.James,the protest proved true…..troublemakers.I hate to say that,but when i look at those who wanted to fight the law officers and acting out lawlessly,then i thought for a second..here are the trouble makers.I did not see Mr.John and L.Linton and Brisbane and all those who call the radio station to give blows on d government.Mr.James,leave that alone>no more money to pledge for court matters.Love you just as you are.Please do not instigate trouble.
so tell me Dominincan what did u all accomplish in all this? Did any of u get paid stop waiting for hand out and go fine some skills
Diaspora…who ranaway.
can someone tell me why is Dominica the only EC country that have a president,because I been to all the rest of Island and all I hear is Mr.prime minister
TO EDUCATE YOU: Some who do not have PRESIDENTS have GOVERNORS or GOVERNOR GENERALS who have similar responsibilities as our president. You MUST have learnt this in your SOCIAL STUDIES class in GRADE 6 in PRIMARY SHOOL or in preparation for CXC in HIGH SCHOOL.
am not from from DA I vote for my president every five years,my country to have prime minister but it the president who select,but they not like all you own doing what he want like the country belong to him
I am very concern for our country if history has a way of repeating itself we seems to be heading there, again the whole world will be looking at us
my people lets get our house in order or else the Brits, or Americans will do it for us. We need to show the rest of the world that we can unite and agree to disagree without being nasty and rude to each other. We are quick to blame the young people and their behavior, but the example our politicians are exhibiting is disgraceful. We need to pray for peace, tolerance, respect, patience, and the people we elected to move our country to the next level. Dominicans PRAY,PRAY, or else we heading to hell and doomed to repeat our earlier mistakes. NOT again! Not another 1979! we cannot afford such a mess in our lovely country again.
@ “O” STRESS, I support you on that statement. I think the same way.
this PM is a real dictator, he is a one man show, but he is running a race where he will not reach the finish line. am a labourite, and i can tell u, tht this administration, has brought the name of my country to shame. but the longest rope has an end, he will end up, just as the other dictators who rule for decades, but where are they now. it is time that we stand up and save our country from these lawless men.” if a man cannot find something in which he can die for, then he is living a useless life”. let us fight for our beautiful DOMINICA. blessings to my ppl.
Even though edo them go, chupess wats he sense eighteen /two,konie jerry wat a waste
Bonjay oye was it really necessary to have all those Police Officers there… My oh my!
if only they knew how to behave there would not have all those police there
The attendance at his protest is a true reflection of how the people of Dominica feel.
the attendance can only tell how the next election results wud turn out more police than protesters.and wat was on marpin lastnight that wasn’t good sham on u all attacting police officers in parliament for hector eddison and prevo go and do their work u see non was in site when the protest started getting urgly
i wonder is some of these people can read the signs they carrying. Labour POWER!!
We know is labourites alone that can win.
You are very insulting to my fellow Dominicans, Keep your comment to yourself.
Apparently you cannot spell. Since you wrote, “I wonder is some of these people.” And didn’t start with a capital letter. Just shows how smart your kind are.
Stand up and be counted.. One man cannot make decisions all ALONE. This is our country. He is there to serve not to rule and dominate and be a tyrant. So the opposition is doing the right thing in keeping some sort of balance and accountability in Dominica.
It’s heart warming to see Dominicans finally standing and speaking out, far to long we have sat back and let these crooked politicians abuse us and treat us like children,they do what they want without consulting us. They say jump, and we jump. Wake up Dominica, wake up.
Citizens of the Commonwealth of Dominica isn’t there a CAUSE? Where is the BALM to heal that open, gaping wound called DOMINICA?People, People where is our Civil Pride? Have we forgotten how to be Patriots? Who are we? What’s our vision for a country we sometimes boast about and say we love?
As fellow Natives, you sit at your keyboard, stroke the keys to ridicule,critic, accuse, falsely categorize fellow citizens who felt it’s in their utmost interest and benefit to let their voices be heard ?It is their God given right to show up and be heard.In other parts of the world people dodge bullets so their voices can be heard and some of you have the audacity to call fellow Dominicans “old, illiterate”?Are you talking about yourselves?
For islands and people who make “a big deal ” about independence, are we independent? We never let go of the rotten, destructive form of Westminster style politics. We continue to condone and practice lowdown, dirty, gutter politics.
We the so called “youngsters” don’t realize what was sacrificed. In the USA, they literally have to be begged to cast their, after people died to give them that privilege, in DA we could careless, all we want is to westernize Dominica at whatever the cost. No proper dialogue, no compromising, no meeting of the minds, it’s just tearing down of each other while the country goes to hell.
You travel around the world and hear people admire the strength and sacrifice of Roosevelt Douglas, Tim Hector, Walter Rodney, George Padmore, Kwame Toure (Stokely Carmichael ) George Odlum and so many other Caribbean stalwarts who were prepared to die, went through unimaginable difficulties but were the smartest and brightest and we the generation after them continue the divide and conquer syndrome, it’s an insidious virus that’s eating away at our race because we are yet to understand who we are and potential that lies in our very being.
We help everyone else but ourselves, we defend all other Constitution but ours. Maybe we don’t know the meaning of the Constitution. While you are on here hurling insults at people, look up the meaning of “Constitution”.
Stop saying “I am Dominica” if you don’t care one iota about her. Dominica stands tall, withstanding all foolishness that is thrown at her but one of these good days talk she will, in more ways than one. Go listen to CroCro song “Leak bottom Africans.
Mr or Madam moderator, sorry for being so long but something have to give. My portrayal of this country is one of Big heartedness,classiness, hardworking etc and you come on DNO to see some the most reviled comments, it grieves my very core. Is there not a cause? Any typos, forgive me.
too much rooroo
lol
Overseas have so many protests that leads to killing, fighting, pain, sadness and fear. I thought Dominica would keep away from this stupidity but it looking like it is the starting here too. hmm i wonder what would be the next step for them, if they going to start fighting one another. I’m only 22 years and i never voted. That is why i just don’t care about politics and voting because no matter who comes in power there will always be problems and i will still be there struggling to make a good life for myself, while they trying to get power. What a world!
If it were not for those brave ones fighting for what is right you would not have the freedoms you have right now. Maybe we should all be silent and live like dogs.
Good for you. You might be able to make a living in the Jungle somewhere with the animals
ur so true who ever that in power is the same out come we young people still hv to struggle too stay out of the streets
as much as im against protest and i agree with ur statement theres no going around the fact that for change to occur someone first have to be defiant i guess its time we stood up for not just what we believe in but what we know to be true. the laws are put in place for a reason . no man no police no government is above the law n constitution i think its time we realize that. so as much as we want peace if thats the road to change then so be it God be with us Guide us on the right path
I feel your pain as a young person growing up amid all this political morass. Dominicans need to stop politicizing everything and get back to work to build the country. As JFK said “ask not what your country can do for you, but what you can do for your country”. Stop depending on the government to do it all for you – that does not work even in the G8 countries. Look at what is happening in Greece, Spain, etc. THERE IS NO FREE LUNCH, people. Those with the money in Dominica – and trust me, there are many people sitting on lots of money on the island, should help create employment to boost the economy. You cannot take it with you and if things do not get better in Dominica, you may not live long enough to enjoy it!

21 AN IDIOTIC HUSH
yawwwwwwwwwwwwnnnnnnn boy i too tired to repeat myself ehh…. FREEDOM IS NEVER FREELY GIVEN, it must be DEMANDED….and even when it is ATTAINED, we must be DILIGENT IN PROTECTING IT FOR FUTURE GENERATIONS…. boy I tired with empty headed Dominicans.
some silly people are commenting here about UWP, but this has nothing to do with UWP , this has to do with our constitution and its upkeep.This regime has thrashed our constitution aside. BUT Alas , Alas ……when we’ll want to talk we will have no mouths to, when we’ll want to stand we’ll have no legs to and when we’ll want to be heard …there’ll be no ears left to listen to our cries. Eluid is a good man caught up in the wrong mix of friends.Liverpool didnot call the snap election because he knew well enough that a matter was before the courts. Now they’ve sought to rid him of the presidencey so the next puppet will dance to the tune of this regime and do just that ,ignoring the matters before the courts.
1 last question …..Why are the puppet police officers taking snap photography at the gathering ?
Make no mistake about this, this is the bacchanalist issue…this is Ediot James issue and UWP
stop embarrassing Dominica YOU FOOOOOOOOLLLL!
What ever their reasons for coming out today. I believe that those people have expressed their true concern about the Rule of law in Dominica.
edison stay out of those people buiness. dont you see they are bobolists and thieves.i wonder if dopwell has paid up the money. mr auditor stop the coverup. dpp do your job.the peoplr just love their president.you opposition wasting your energy.i am an ex patriot.
Oh pleaseeeeeeeeeee….is it because you not getting any more contracts tief? U more ignorant than them aself. If you were getting all the deals, I’m sure you would be talking a different song!
after this day my advise to Mr. James is to leave Dominicans in their ignorance.He is above these going on in D.A. let Skerrit to continue to ride his people. My people are the most ignorant tribe in the world the y want to be able to be taken care by a dictator. they will not have to w ork everything will be given to them they will be told what to do and what say. Good luck. i feel sorry for my country but give the majority of the people what they want and that is they want to experience th at savage way of life. I thank God i am out of there.
agree with you
How was the election of the President unconstitutional? They expected to have a public vote or something? It doesn’t even matter who the President is or how he’s elected. He doesn’t do anything anyway; he’s just a figurehead.
People out there protesting for nothing, go to work already.
So where is compere Lennot Linton in all this? Shouldnt he be at the front?
and where is jack Anonymous in this?? He is waiting when it affects him.
llllllllllooooooooooooooooolllllllllll
BOY that one make me wake up everyone in the house with my outburst of laughter…..some fools just don’t think before they put their fingers to the keyboard.
before I post most times I debate my comment with myself….some dudes are just sooooooo feminized and blurt out over any emotional rapture that takes hold of them
Didn’t you hear Lennox Linton address the crowd idiot? You folks just come on here and post our comments and questions in pure ignorance without finding out for youselves whats going on
He is in your flesh having you tormented. You seem to be dreaming of him 24 hrs a day.Your stupid as-.
DNO, Trinidad is today facing a similar crisis whereby the Government wants to repeal a section 34 of the Administration of Justice Indictable Proceedings Act that was proclaimed by the president of Trinidad and tobago; that would allow persons charged with a crime with ten or seven years on the books could make an application to the court to squash the matter(Trinidad Express september 17 would provide valuable information. Because of that situation the oposition is calling for mass demonstration. There is a headlind on the Express which states that the Trade Unions of Trinidad and Tobago are considering joining the Mass Demonstration with the PNM opposition. Dominica is facing a situation which is far more worse than that of Trinidad and we are yet to hear from persons like Thomas Letang and the other trade unions, I will only have one thing to say that if Letang and the rest of the union leaders think that its going to be better for their membership they better think again it will get worse
UWP, please keep up the fight for good governance in this country.
This is really sad how things are getting more and more challenging for the income TAX paying citizens of this commonwealth country, while some are so easily manipulated by so of the business owner.
Politics is a dirty game, is not for the faint-hearted,
They are all corrupt
That is why they are knowN as MAN
In this country everyone of them looking out for themselves
it’s just really sad to see how easily some are influenced.
ASK ANYONE ONE OF THEM HOW MUCH THEY SPEND TO PRINT ONE OF THESE POSTERS
THEY CAN’T ANSWER YOU
THEY are POPPETS
I agree with you, current party or opposition, all man for themselves. they don.t give a damn

Intel Officers. Be more covert!!!!!
I was taught that insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result. The UWP has been employing this stale strategy of protest (people’s parliament included) for a number of year and each time they expect a different result. Whoa!! They keep attempting to stir the pot even before the pot is on the stove. Always looking for ways to create mischief. Hence the reason they shall forever be in the political wastelands of Dominica. Good going guys!! [smh]
The comment of an illiterate.
Imagine that?! I illeterate and I still smarter than you. Poor pity!!
mannnn you fool…please tell me what is illiterate about the comment…. what? you can’t? not rebutal???
okay well just go in the corner, put the cone on your head, fold your arms, put your finger on your lips
AND BE QUIET!!!!!
But strange enough none of the leaders were in the fore front- where the spokepersons etc – we need to go back to the drawing board we. Poor the Opposition Leader – them people just take over we
@ Webber: Are you an idiot didn’t you see Eddison James at the front?
First of all Hector John needs to have a mind of his own. He always waits until Lennox and Matt comes up with something to take it and run with it. Hector went and consulted with the PM about the President, he had no issues but as soon and Lennox started to speak thats when he realized something was wrong. Secondly where is Lennox and the others. I can see none of them in any of the pics. They are leading these poor lil people into doing those things and they themselves are nowhere to be seen. Smh……..
Can someone tell me why are the two policemen holding down the other one? he looks like a bad dog ready to attack.
i cant wait for the next general election all those who keep disrespecting the offices and the bishop we will see how many votes uwp will continue to loose, in the pictures you cannot see any sign of those who were calling for the protest especially the talk show host on Q was the turn out too few.
Well look at stupidness… Them UWP supporters just out on the road trying to stir up controversy where none exist. They wanted a letter of resignation from President Liverpool and they got it. Now the Constitution dictates that a new president be elected by the members of the House of Assembly, again that was done.
So, let us all rally around our new President Eluid Williams and tell the UWP to stop this foolishness, trying to create a crisis where none exist!
I love Dominica. Democracy is alive and well in this beautiful land.
president elect so protesters can now go home we win u loose we have the final say!skewo all the way and President Elude williams in Edo face
If eddison wanted to stop the election for the new president he should go to the parliament and stop it.Only he has the power to enter there,why is he using his supporters as fools
Today Dominica’s constitution has become a piece of paper……It is such a shame when our leaders show wanton disregard for our constitution…..
#Ashamed Dominican
I call for “LET US BURN THE CONSTITUTION” bonfire night as form of protest.
We need some suggestions for defying the PMs action.
They can surround the parliament with as many police as they want.What is important is that the caribbean by extension the world is aware of the fact that Dominicans are of the opinion that Skerrit hehaves like a dictator. One of the most reputable newspapers in the Caribbean,CANA, carried the happenings of today on the front page.We also have DNO who is equally as popular all over the world is not only carrying the news but pictures.The problems for the Skerrit Labor Party has just began.Anywhere the President goes in or out of Dominca this veil of unconstitution will follow him.
ADMIN…These pics do not represent what went on up there this morning…where are the people , where are the young people, where are the police beating the people!
UPDATE UPDATE!!!
There wss a demonstration or Public meeting in Roseau earlier today. The meting was promoted for days on end. If what that turned up in Roseau today is “the people” according to UWP, then there is every reason why the people of Dominica ought not to take the UWP seriously. Mr. James, led by his not so new strategist from Morne Daniel must be hopping mad. The turn out was a disgrace to say the least. I am sure they are going to blame Skerit for their supporters not turning up for the show.
The House did meet and a new President was elected. A difference in opinion was and is not enough reason to stop a government from acting. If the court had declared that the government’s interpretation of that section of the constitution was infact wrong, then the UWP and Lennox Linotn would have had a case. Government would be in contempt of the court. But rather than go for a judicial review of the interpreation of the law (not the process), the UWP took to the airvwaves and advanced political arguments for a purely legal amtter. That is why the UWP has lost almost all of their cases brought against government and the Speaker. Their arguments are purely political and in large measure are devoid of legal backing.
They have held on their partisan opinion and expected government to see the issue their way totally ignoring the fact that the governmenmt also sought and got legal advice for the same matter. Mr. Brian Alleyne, former Chief Justice of the OECs Court system gave an opinion on the matter in line with what the UWP was saying. For what it is worth, it cannot be that because Mr. Alleyne, retired Chief Justice gave an opinion, it is the law. Mr. Alleyne’s opinion must be seen in the context of his downright disregard for the gopvernment of PM Skerrit. He has not advanced any view or any opinion on any matter that was endearing to PM Skerrit. A chief Justice’s opinion on any matter is not always law. See what happened in the recent Appeals Court case – Mervin Williams vs National Bank. On a panel of three judges, the then Chief Justice, Hugh Rawlins (supervisor of the other two judges)ruled in favor of Mervin Williams. His two sub-ordinates disagreed and ruled in favor of the National Bank. The former Chief Justice from Belfast has constantly read from the same hymn book as UWP strategist and unlearned lawyer, lennox Linton.
So in this matter at hand. Who is right? Is it Lennox Linton (with no training in law and interpretation of law) or the government’s legal department made up of trained and experienced lawyers?
let us now go to court to fix up what is worng with our constitution.
My God, what a protest. Supporters of the UWP have no one to blame for the failure of thier activity today. If they feel strongly about anything,and I know they feel strongly about this matter, then they have to put their money where their mouth is, even if it means foregoing work today. They want Athie, Eddie, Coipel, Lambert, Clem,Dave, Clayton, Shirley in Atlanta, Gabou in Washington, Fontaine in Washington and chied Justice Lennox to do all the work whilst they go about their legitimate business.
Eddie, so much for putting booots on the ground.By now you must be saying enough repudiation by my supporters much more the Dominican people is enough.
don’t worry you will ask God for you tongue to ask mr james sorry for all your comments to him because when the rain falls itfalls on all mans house top, so when Skerrit and his cabal ready for people like you and yur kids i hope you can stand up
Why don’t we stop this fighting amongst our people? Stop blasting the people who want thier rights to be heard! It is not about politics, it is not about UWP, it is about our citizens standing up against the lack of transparency and ultimate demise of our rights and constitution. We are creating a dictator. If we continue to let him do what he wants then sooner rather than later he is going to tell us what to do when we are teh one who put him there in the first place. Without the people, they have no power but it seems like we the people are letting the power go and leaving everything up to them. They are fulling their pockets whilst ours drying! We want to follow a color because our neighbor convinced us? Roads are meant to be built! Where is the innovation? I see none. Don’t be blind Dominicans. These issues do not surface for nothing!!!!
I see all yhe laborats come out to comment on the protest but the laborats cannot contribute to thr discussion relating to the constitution. Government will come and go but DA will remain underdeveloped simply because the people are way to ignorant. My heart hurt for Dominica. Sad sad sad
Boy by d look of dem pics dere d opposition aint ready yet!if we protestin against sumting or watever we should be buring down buildings and stuff dat is d only way dey will get results!who say wat dey doin dere will change anyting!
Alas, These Faces are etched with mizeh! Alas
I am very offended at some dominicans who try to dispise dominican citizens who take to the street of the capital to demonstrate their displeasure with people who disrespect our constitution,the supreme law of the land by insinuating that they are old and illiterate.Contrary, though,these are the same folks who stood up for our demorcracy in the 1970s, in a period which was not enlightened as today, and here it is when we younger and so called brighter ones sit there and let them fight for us and the protection instead of the other way around …and some of you attacking and criticizing our senior citizens ..shame on you guys!!
A wrong is a wrong period. Don’t pretend that you have never heard Lennox Linton or Francis Severin speak about Labourites as being illiterate and signing for their supporter and as “pigs feeding in a trough”. I agree that the remark is ugly and ought not to be part of our democracy and the way we disagree with each other. But such disparaging remarks also happens on your side all too often.
Speak out too.
And, So, what are you going to do about it. Are you going to call in the 82nd Airbone Division to get old men out before they harm themselves
I am quite sure you was not very good in literature in school. When this happens in Guadeloupe or Martinique, no one says a word because people must stick together for what they believe in. It is not about politics, a UWP thing or a Labour thing! It is about Integrity and some Dominicans like to fight for the wrong things. What that irritating me there is that, people fighting for their rights and the betterment of the country is getting criticised! To me, if you do not have anything of substance to say, shut up!
Sorry you mean those who are benefiting from the Red clinic
the same sets of peoples that are getting free this and free that because of their age group.
What constitution…? those forks have no idea about the netegrities of our constitution and the rule of law in this country
Some ask them to jump they ask no question they just do,that’s all
because they are brainwashed daily by the discontented influenced that prey on their gullibility.
Radio shows that reminds you of everything that is wrong in this country but never points out good that was done, the progress if any the was achieved, this in turn breed more frustration and discontentment among the citizens of this country, fostering anger and bitterness for one-another because of the party they support.
how sad, we were suppose to be progressing but with this kind of mentality we are viewed as undeveloped mentally and industrially.
The sad part is that the same peoples that are opposing whether good or bad they oppose
All of you’ll that looking nice and young and spruce up not interested all you interested in is bling so stop crying down these people who showed up to fight for a cause they believe in irrespective of whether you suppourt them or not.
To those who protested Kudos to you, you are not cowards like most of US are. What about all the big shots in DA all of those proefessionals that i know are against this government ?????? Why can’t you all show up to give credence to this ? because you are the ones who got us in this mess anways because you wanted UWP out for no good reason. You’ll can suck salt now ! Bunch of cowards. Thanks to the ‘old’ people according to DNO readers and the malayway for supporting.
You were not there so what’s your point? It starts with YOU!!
I respected those who went out for all of us that live in the diaspora we say thank you for trying to protect our CONTITUTION dont give up for the fight is far from over.
U missed an S, in the famous word of the year lol , Constitution,
NOB.S – because they are fooled by glam and glitter that’s why and they do not know better. They want Destra and sean paul that’s is what they vote for ?????????????? Thats if they know what a consitutuion is ? The DLP and Skerrit is just a hype to them like a new band on the scene.
It’s a good thing i do not take part in politics, because if i was supporting the UWP i would be ashamed to see that massive crowd
:)…lol…:)…lol…:)
Lmao
Lmof for true
By looks of of the photos i can see it is a bunch …….. that are taking part in this protest. I can bet my last dollar that they cant read whats on the signs/posters they are waving.
You people in Dominica are too idle. Yes the PM is not following the constitution but this matter does not endanger no ones life, as the matter of that this ‘situation’ does not affect ANYTHING!! Its not like the president does anything anyway.
So many things are going on in Dominica that is against the laws of both man and God and no one is saying anything about it. All the rapes, incest, murders, buggery,child abuse that’s going on and i’ve yet to hear about a protest for beefed up laws and security. But y’all want to go ahead and protest about this shit. C’mon people, get a life!!!
The funny thing is, all these people that are stirring up all this confusion in Dominica are at the point where they can run out of the island as soon as trouble start, and start over in some other country. And Dominicans are partaking in such movements, repeating things that they themselves cant even read/understand.
I am not saying that it is okay to bypass the constitution,but in this case its useless to make such a force about it, because this matter does not affect anyone but the newly appointed president’s paycheck/bank account.
Skerrit just needs to pull a Russian/Cuban dictatorship on you all. Is too much freedom the people has.
@ Jean Bwa: The name by which you call yourself is something of the past and it shows your mentality and the fact that you have not grown as you continue to dwell in perpetual ignorance and an uncivilized state of mind
They should have hand writen posters, declaring what they personallay want said, instead they gave them printed posters saying what they want them to say.. lol! Just agree allu finish eh cuz all them years of making noise just not making sence, pple will still vote the PM! esily…. If is labour that had protest Roseau would be packed!
They blue vex but they will have to deal with Skerrit for a very long time.
@ Caribbean (Lucian): Such an idiotic comment. I hope when the dragon start to devour you nad yours you will have the same zest that you have now to DEAL WITH HIM
dominicans to coward eh
I will surely protest when I see LENNOX LINTON, EDISON JAMES AND RON GREEN stand infront of the line and send the first stone. Spags can come after, now worries.
Amen???????? Where are they, I do see none of them- they never there – they not in the house so where are they
such is politics my dear. have you ever heard of a US president going to war? NOPE but they sent thousands right? OK!
but is the old folks who knows more about the constitution rights is them who have the history these young generation will tell you DATS OLD SCHOOL thats there talk when you try telling them what went on back in the days 60’s and up they quick to respond and say OLD SCHOOL.
It is really a SHAME to see that people in such powerful positions, some elected and others who are suppose to be educated, who should lead by example have brought us to this crisis. What is the purpose of all of this.
WHAT EXAMPLE ARE WE DEMONSTRATING TO THE YOUNG. We are told we must follow the law. The constitution may not be perfect, but there a reason for its construction and existence we all need to adhere to. The President, PM et al can not and should not pick and choose which part of the constitution they want to follow.
The opposition for their part should refer this case to the courts, if the case can not be resolve professionally, respectfully and CONSTITUTIONALLY.
We must not let the PM have his way, otherwise we can kiss democracy goodbye.
Mr PM please do not let the 18-3 majority turn you into an arrogant disrespectful person. Show the country how things should be done properly….transparency is the key….try to reach that higher standard for us to follow. Currently your actions are somewhat dubious, lacking style and suspicious.
I see some comments in here derogatory in nature, rigged with ignorance and ridiculing the citizens of this country for exercising their rights. It just shows the intelligence of these LP supporters. Once they get their RED CLINIC handouts, nothing else matters.
Is it me or people that are there seems to be more older persons 40s and up? Why is that the young populist doesn’t support the UWP in droves as they do DLP?????
So this is a surprise to you? You not seeing what the young people supporting? It is violet and crime they supporting so they will never support the UWP. That is why if it was a DLP’s protest they would be there in large numbers.
the young people did not have money to pay their bus fares to come to tow n to protest….
Because the senior citizens have wisdom, these young air heads got no back bone and cannot understand the simplest concept about life. It is all about bling bling and party. But later will be greater for them.
To answer ur question……ummmm some long moments of thought on my part……..hmmmmmmmmmm…..ummmmmmmm…NO! LMAO
it is a shame to see how some d/cans think. When you all should be there helping others to defend the constitution all you there critizing them. Is ppl like all you that will tolerate the Skerrit doing because of handouts, too lazy to even defend the constitution. I hope we don’t allow him to change it so we will become like Syria and Lybia.
Shame Shame right now we so poisoned with lies we can’t even tell what is right again.
WHILE ALL YOU MUMBLING AND GRUMBLING PARLIAMENT CONTINUES AND WHATEVER HAS TO HAPPEN WILL DEFINITELY HAPPEN SO U ALL CAN HUFF AND PUFF BUT CANT BLOW OUR HOUSE DOWN
? is how long will you have the right to say that on DNO
Again I ask: Did the current president resign or vacate office?
Be here now, follow the news…why do we have to repeat ourselves
Only today he is resigning
The Radio Stations need to play the tape of the Opposition Leader after the consultation with the PM – it is proof that he is being taken to task for meeting with the PM – but it is to late my friends. According to the Constitution you all were suppose to be in the House – anothe forpa again – misleading the people. Lord help them for know not what they did. Voting for the President 21 (For) (0) Against. Is this a message or sign for the next election.
Half of them man can’t even read the sign they are holding up…lol..
standfast……do you know half of them, I find that insultive, if you can read the signs, hurray for you…insultive piece of shut your mouth…

Lol hehehehehehehe , wi bondier domnichen zore movay wi no work but plenty laugh.. Is that it have , wat can i do ? I enjoy that one friend
I WANDER IF IS NOT A CRY FOR PUBLIC ASSISTANCE THESE PEOPLE WANT CAUSE ALL I SEEING IS ELDERLY. I HOPE THE PRIME MINISTER CONSIDERS U ALL AND PUT U ALL ON THE PAUPERS LIST NEXT MONTH. WHERE IS THE YOUTH IN THIS PROTEST ????
So Massive, you are saying that they are at the wrong place, they need to go to the Red Clinic
@ Massive,The youth is with Skerrit! Those pple can talk from Jauuary to December you know if is Skerrit the people want is Skerrit they go get. Not Skerrit supporters alone getting handout from the goverment, you seeing more UWP INSIDE THE RED CLINIC! I personally vote who I want for the development of country and not for personal gain, cuz I’ve not gained anything personally, I’m a hard working 24 year old. They just ain’t gonna stop with those nonsence, time wasting BS!
What is the “nonsence”, time wasting BS? most of the people you see in the pics won’t be there when you will be singing or attempting to sing a different song and will be shot for it, so you carry on.
same thing i checking. I am asking where are the young ones, but then again this is good indication that they have been Dominicans all their lives and have never seen such so maybe we should take note.
Can it be Wisdom in the greys that you see!!
where were you?? or is it becuz u already getting your droppings from the red clinic?? and do u think you will remain forever young?? think again, or rather take a look in your album……….gwap sot!!
@ Massive: This comment by you shows just how ignorant you are and why you are a supporter of this administrator. These older folks are demonstrating to some folks like you who are younger, that their understanding of what’s going on is much more than what you are capable of. You obviously are one with no clue of what’s going on or the consequences thereof and I feel sorry for the likes of you and your children if you have any. Continued ignorance of the masses is what will leave us as the most undeveloped country in the region economically, socially and politically.
Helas Dominique, poor pity, Apres Bon Dieu c’est La Terre, Good Lord save us from our ignorance and selfishness and rescue Dominica from this regime which has no respect for the Constitution, the Supreme Law of the Land.
the opposition must call for a national consultation on this matter, i didnt say should because that is history… call critical stakeholder to the table, our constitution cannot be allowed into further crisiss……
One thing, we can never run out of CALYPSO in this country. I waiting to see how this one is penned for Carnival next year. Hope it is catchy.
EDDO agaist everything,what next? for the past 20 years is pure trouble,nothing positive.
Three scores and ten
Guess they didn’t know a new President to be elected by way of ballot ALL members of Parliament including the OPPOSITION needed to vote for the nominee even if it’s only one. Guess they only have the constitution for show and never read it from cover to cover…hmm
Is this the casting call to the sequel to the movie “No Country for Old Men”????
Lol. U making me laugh. Is de same ting I checking eh. Where all those old people der goin. Haha
Yeah Right…whats up with these uwp? Did these men create uwp and now that the uwp is in its final stages they are looking so haggard.
Is this the look of the callers? Where is the brains of the uwp…Blessings???
That’s a good one! Lol
You are of poor taste to the extreme.. you are off topic, off subject everytime you post. Do u have a problem with “old men”?? Maybe you should go have another one of what you were drinking or smoking.. post something that make sense. YOU don’t have to be STUPID all of the time..
Old woman we taking home
the funny thing is, he sit down doing nothing with himself getting old. lol
Protest, dont protest…DA will have a new President….and for real…where is Lennox? I am not seeing him at the front or in the crowd.
This is the face of the UWP
stupes
haha…interesting they doing all this while the other caribbean islands keep laughing in silence…
look confusion…but again a place which is rated the Poorest tends to have massive confusions..
shows what kind of society Dominica is a below par place small mind…nothing to shout about…
i have basically given up on them all the radio chatter then when it comes to numbers or boots its just a handful….
DLP will evade and use all tactics to stay in Power..why the Majority of Citizens don’t have any Guts…..too much talk…
Power to the People. They know that it is getting late and things are not getting better. The ignorant and those in line for a handout best get educated before it is too late and they become slaves again.
stupes
Where are the scores of people??? CHUPES!! Is one set of people that there, the same set that calling the radio station everyday is they that protesting. You should take vivid pic of the crowd and not two men and show us the scores of protestants who are present.
Admin: I’m sure you meant protesters
Thanks for the correction, we all make spelling errors though, inlcluding you Admin, with the many that you make. STILL I WANT TO SEE ALL THE PEOPLE THEY SAY THAT THERE!
I counted about 20 from the photo.
Can someone really tell me what is scores of people?
A score is 20. So one would use “scores of people” to define a number too small to describe as “hundreds of people” or “thousands of people”. I hope this helps.
exactly y he said “scores of people”..catch on
Hmmm. You must quivering in your boots by the phrase ‘scores of people’.
The Issue Folks need to Understand, to make the change you need a shot down to create any kind of Impact….
Unions, Private Sector and other Interest Groups that’s how its done World Wide..
The Opposition Party on its own can’t effect change
Just a BIG SHOUT then by Friday things are all Silent………..That’s Typical Dominica..
They have gotten the Regime they want love and cherish…so no amount of chatter will change anything…
WHERE IS LENNOX L AND THE REST I EXPECT TO SEE THEM UP FRONT WITH THEIR TROOPS
Oh la lennox, oh la coupen tigre
True democracy at work.
Yes I. Keep us updated DNO. Its a good thing I didn’t go town today, wen missiles flying I’m safe @ my home
But them people holding the poster, can they read it. lol. i sure no those at the front cant read. UWP using them people
@look story …maybe you should read your own post instead of making fun of people you assume cannot read. Post back and let us know how many grammatical errors you find….and I don’t mean typos…am just saying.
those people there dont have work to do man
How can they have work to do wen the country have no jobs.
Who are you? What would you stand for? This is not about Party/Politics . It’s about taking a stand for what’s Right. I’m in NY And i stand in complete Solidarity with The People of My Country. let it be known that on this day when your Country needed you this was your Comment.
