You boast of how Dominica is in such good economic status, yet you (especially the Skerritites) greedily await ration taken from food pantries in NY, NJ etc. (some expired). He spreads his Chinese manufactured turkey and ham but how many of you have ever dined with him to see that he consumes the same as you? It’s just like the medical insurance. He and family have the best medical insurance while you boom-boom flies Skerrities have nothing. At least he can give you laboratory manufactured turkey and ham. Dunce Cats.
So true! Mark my words, their greed will be their downfall. But then you will hear them bawling like a baby!
