Saturday, August 13th 2011 will mark one year since the sacking of Sean Douglas as Government Press Secretary in the Roosevelt Skerrit administration. One year on, Sean Douglas, a nephew of the late Rosie Douglas, former Prime Minister of Dominica, breaks his silence.
For months I agonized as to whether I should remain silent following my departure as Press Secretary exactly one year ago. The long period I spent in Martinique recently was a time of deep personal reflection. I now feel a moral obligation to set the record straight for this and future generations. It would be a gross dereliction of duty to my country and a betrayal of the memory of my mentor, Rosie Douglas, for me to maintain my silence while our country, Dominica, slides further towards dictatorship and the legacy of my uncle is desecrated with impunity.
I must now free my conscience and explain to the world for the first time the set of circumstances which culminated in my ‘dismissal’ as Government Press Secretary after nine years of dedicated service. The public also needs to understand that our institutions have become ineffective under this regime and how Roosevelt Skerrit has created a personality cult as the supreme leader and Prime Minister. He has also cultivated in Dominica a culture of nepotism and has demonstrated a flagrant disregard for the values of honesty and integrity in the governance of our country.
My refusal to be an apologist for the actions of unscrupulous politicians was the underlying reason for my ‘sacking’. Even as I tried to focus the public mind on the good work of the government in many areas, I just could not, in conscience, defend the many blatant contradictions and lies. The government wanted a party political propagandist to defend corruption rather than a press secretary to disseminate information on government policies.
But how could I defend corruption in government! In the 2000 general election campaign, the Dominica Labour party accused the United Workers party government of being corrupt. And with the support of Eugenia Charles, Labour and Freedom, joined forces and succeeded in throwing out the ‘corrupt’ UWP from power.
In his inaugural address as Prime Minister, on February 7th 2000, Rosie Douglas said: “We must evolve a political culture that is intolerant to corruption….. Poor governance and corruption are major constraints in the pursuit of economic development…. It interferes with the revenue collection capacity of the state and, illegally and immorally, it diverts resources from the general welfare of the people into private hands- into the hands of friends, relations and colleagues.” In 2003, under the leadership of Pierre Charles, the Integrity in Public Office Act was passed. In 2004, the government ratified the Inter-American Convention against corruption. While it has signalled its commitment to international norms regarding corruption, the Roosevelt Skerrit government in practice has violated the very principles of the convention.
A major contradiction in the actions of the Skerrit administration was the decision to bring Julius Timothy into the government. Julius Timothy was the man held responsible for the economic crisis that forced the Pierre Charles government to embark on a stabilisation programme in 2002. Timothy was the architect of the RBTT and Citibank bond issues that added an extra $11 million dollars annually to our country’s debt service obligations. Under the arrangement millions of dollars in taxes and dividends from Cable and Wireless and DOMLEC went straight to Trinidad to service the bonds, depriving the state of much needed revenue.
As Finance minister, Timothy was responsible for Dominica being blacklisted by the OECD Financial Action Task Force and it was the United Workers party’s conduct in government that forced the Canadians to impose visa restrictions on Dominicans in 2000.
Labourites will well remember when Timothy and the UWP reneged on an electoral accommodation with the Labour party in the 1990 elections. That betrayal by Timothy hurt so bad that the Labour party decided then the enemy was not Freedom but the UWP. Today Julius Timothy sits comfortably in cabinet with Roosevelt Skerrit, Ambrose George and Reginald Austrie.
It is farcical that a Labour party that was swept into power in 2000 on a moral crusade to slay corruption in government is today itself mired in sleaze. It is an irony that the attorney Rosie gave the responsibility to conduct an inquiry into allegations of corruption by the UWP government is today defending corruption on behalf of this administration.
This regime must stop the grotesque pretence that it is the standard bearer of the ideals of Rosie Douglas. On February 7th 2000, Rosie had this to say on campaign financing: “ It appears that we need robust control over election spending to ensure that political parties are properly accountable to the people of Dominica, to prevent conflict of interest and the exercise of improper influence. We need to ensure that politics in this country does not become a matter of who can spend the most. This is wrong. This is very wrong!” It is clear that eleven years after Rosie made that profound statement the present regime has discarded yet another tenet of Rosie’s beliefs.
To point to wrongdoing by this administration is not to deny its achievements. I am proud to have been part of the Pierre Charles administration that restored sanity to the public finances in 2002-2004. It was a watershed when Swinburne Lestrade declared in 2005: “The economic decline has been reversed, the fiscal legacy has been defeated and the economy is now on an upward growth trajectory.”
There have been significant gains in education and infrastructural development. Roosevelt Skerrit will always be associated with the Windsor Park stadium. His idea to have one university graduate in every household by 2015 is a noble one. But in the midst of all these positive developments, unscrupulously, clandestinely and corruptly, this administration has
been enriching itself at the expense of Dominica’s overwhelmingly poor majority.
There have been reports of immense meddling by this administration in the bidding processes for public sector contracts. The garbage bin scandal, the fertiliser transaction and Roosevelt Skerrit’s alleged ownership of the villas have left an indelible stain on the reputation of this regime.
This administration’s association with Rudolph King, Roman Lakschin and David Hsui, the mystery regarding the billion dollar raffle and the involvement of government spokespersons in the continuing soap opera surrounding the firebombing of Glenworth Emanuel’s home – all point to a regime in moral decay.
Citizens for a better Dominica should never have been established by labour party activists in 2005 to serve as clandestine mechanism for the receipt of campaign finance. Non- profit organisations are established to serve the public good and not be partisan entities. The Labour party has never satisfactorily responded to claims that the sum of US$400,000 that was channelled through that organisation was payment for a diplomatic passport issued to Susan Oldie.
Mystery still surrounds discussions with Chinese investors to bring close to 10,000 Chinese to Dominica using land at Cotton Hill and Cabrits. Many have doubts about the authenticity of the MOU between Dominica and China, made public by Dominica government in 2005.
The economic citizenship programme continues to blemish our country’s international image. Do we know how many economic citizenship and diplomatic passports have been issued in the last few years and how many government supporters are agents?
Over the years Roosevelt Skerrit has very skilfully built a personality cult, playing on the themes, ‘Skerrit cares’ and ‘Thank God for Skerrit’. Instead of cabinet government, we have prime ministerial government.
This personality cult has been built on Roosevelt Skerrit’s wide discretionary powers as Minister for Finance and his influence through the Housing Revolution Programme, Public Support Programme and the Small Business Unit. Ministers of Government, advisors, ambassadors and cronies are all pawns in the maintenance of this personality cult. Many party supporters are beneficiaries of government’s outsourcing, having been granted contracts to supply security and janitorial services to government.
His personality cult status is further entrenched by his appointment of ‘certain people’ to the top brass of the Police Force, the upper echelons of the Public Service and on statutory boards and public corporations. DBS news is now effectively the radio version of the Government Information Service. Even some of our religious leaders are now captive to the Skerrit personality cult.
The criticism on radio by a Senior Counsel and a minister of government of then magistrate, Tiyani Behanzin while the intimidation case of Renneth Alexis was still in progress, is another manifestation of a country sliding towards dictatorship. The belief that the Police are taking instructions from a government attorney is worrying. One wonders therefore whether this government has the moral authority to reverse the rising tide in violent crime in Dominica.
In the last 18 months we have seen our country slide further towards dictatorship and the emergence of the Skerrit personality cult. And to think that days before nomination day for the 2000 general elections, Rosie Douglas was not sure whether Roosevelt Skerrit would be a candidate for the D.L.P! This administration is so tainted it is difficult to imagine how they can govern effectively until 2014. Today rapacious greed, nepotism and political victimization have taken hold. Rosie’s vision of forging closer ties with the French and developing a special affinity with African/Americans has been forgotten. Political observers say I got out just in time. This administration’s unconscionable conduct in government is a despicable defilement of Rosie’s memory.

Do you stop to think and consider before ANY ACTION?
He created with ALL WISDOM,KNOWLEDGE,POWER
AND WITHOUT ANY INPUT FROM all those who
Are benefiting today. Yet many fail to
Follow instructions to maintain this very
order, receive protection and direction to
greater levels of the unknown and so much more. All which was done in Love and with
their interest. What are they rebellious against and why. Yet mercy is shown.
There are Those who are informed and hear and believe. There are those who have suffered due rebellion. They have escaped hurt and tell others of their experience so they will stop being rebellious to avoid their hurt. Yet the unbelievers turn and act blind and deaf. Those who speak out support/ strengthen the report of those who hear believe and speak out.
Whose report will you believe? We must be thankful for those who have been set free, escaped and speak out. Think of this! By their Testimony many may be Saved.
There is great reward in being Thankful to Our LORD GOD. From Him come all good and perfect things. Why wait? The choice is yours. Seek Him while HE can be found.
Thanks for taking heed.
What Dominican’s who have not had the opportunity to venture outside of Domininca or even outside of the Caribbean region for that matter need to realize is that Rosie Douglas, to a large extent put Dominica on the map as far as the broader would is concerned.
When Rosie Douglas was elected in January 2000 for the first time in (post independnace) history an election in Dominica was a significant event internationally.
It was a signnificant event not only inside the Caribbean but (front page news) in Canada, the US, England, Ireland, the middle east, througout Africa, certainly Libya, and Southern Africa.
This goodwill was reflected by the international contingency which arrived in Dominica for his inauguration never before seen in any Dominica election…
Why is this important today?
This is important because it was a period when Dominica had an opportunity to galvanize this goodwill and transslate it into investment/development opportunities by taking advatage of all of the goodwill developed by brother Rosie during all of these years in the struggle.
The struggle to end aparthied in South Africa, the struggle against racism in Canada, the struggle for self determination in Northern Ireland, the struggle to end the lockerbie dispute which was presided over by none other the the late honourable Rosie Douglas.
The struggle for the upliftment of humanity in general, and black people in particular.
So, as a result of his contributions, a tiny micro-state like Dominica, by by virtue of producing the likes of a Rosie Douglas, an international symbol much like Nelson Mandela, has by inference made Dominica for that moment in time appear to be a major contributor, pucnhing above its weight in world political affairs.
So, for those who have taken the mantle of leadership after his passing to totally discredit him, and his offspring, send a very clear signal to the world, and more importantly it represents a lost opportunity of enormous magnitude for the country and effectively relegates the country back to the position of abscurity and irrelevance it held prior to 2000.
That is simply, a micro banana republic with endemic corruption going nowhere anytime soon…
How unfortunate!
This was very well put together and as far as I know very accurate as well.
I agree totally that my beautiful Dominica has lost if not all her credibility then most prior to the 2000 elections.
It is so sad to have to face my country in its present condition knowing her former glory. So, so sad.
Seanna how would you explain this…is this s dictatorship?
http://abclocal.go.com/kabc/story?section=news/state&id=8305059
this irks me. Not Sean’s revelation (face it all govt are corrupt) but the mAJORITY of ppl who put NegATivE comments are workers supporters who are illegals in America. Jump high jump low election time is 19-2 this time Labor.
You just proved that what Mr. Douglas is saying is totally correct. You are completely missing the big picture and focusing on gossip and propaganda. Focus on the points made.
Sean / Kim
Let’s suppose that what you are saying is true, now what!!!!
Do you have a solution? You may not be wrong, but until you can come up with a viable solution, then I see no value in you being right
Let me put in simpler terms. Without viable solution the internet / DNO is to you what the almond on the square is to “Barrifta”, and “Roota” and them..etc
Additionally I should add that you two are among the fortunate few that has an education, a degree and a family history that is probably proportional to that of the “Kennedy’s”
Your role in Portsmouth and Dominica should be to create Jobs, or at a minimum be employed by your own enterprise / family businesses….
You see Sean, soon enough if it has not happened already, people will question the ability for the your ability to represent them based on a simple facts.
If you cannot help yourself with all that your grandfather left you “remember perception is reality” then you ought to shut up until you can lead by example.
1. Fix that dam Cinema….or at least do something with it….create jobs
2. Fix market grocery ….
3. Snacket…….ohh boy
I am not defending Skerrit or the Labor party, and I am not settling either but I recognize that all this tongue flapping isn’t helping.
trying to be passive but you attack the message bearer or messenger yet you saying you not defending the criminal master…
and also i was not aware that sean owned a cinema, a market grocery and a snacket. i know his uncles and aunties own those things.
you people are the best, you remind me of the high priest that plotted to cricify christ..
His personality cult status is further entrenched by his appointment of ‘certain people’ to the top brass of the Police Force, the upper echelons of the Public Service and on statutory boards and public corporations. DBS news is now effectively the radio version of the Government Information Service. Even some of our religious leaders are now captive to the Skerrit personality cult.
Sean are you kidding me? Why are you so disingenuous? Will you tell the nation and by extension DNO readers which Nation in the World has its head of State be it Prime Minister or President ever appoints his Police Chief or Military Leader who does not support his policies?
We all know that Miss Charles appointed Ensley Pierre and Desmond Blanchard as her Police Chief, Edison James appointed Simon Darroux and Philsbert Alfred as his Police Chief, The DLP appointed Mathias Lestrade and Cyril Carrete as their Police Chief, so what’s so wrong? Was Dominica sliding into a dictatorship before the DLP came to power?
Prime Minister James as leader asked all Board members to resign when he became Prime Minister, even members of the Transport Board and members of the Police and Public Service Commission Boards, even though he had no authority to interfere with those Boards, since the Constitution gave the President the authority to do so. It was only after he was questioned about it that he backed off. Was Dominica sliding into a dictatorship then?
The appointment of a certain Mr. Williams of La Plaine to the DBS Board, even though his only qualification then was that he used a chainsaw to saw boards in the height of La Plaine, was Dominica sliding into a dictatorship then? The Appointment of a certain Angela Allen as DBS Manager when his only qualification for the job was a (8) yes eight training done at the PSTC in Roseau, was Dominica sliding into a dictatorship then?
You said, “One wonders therefore whether this government has the moral authority to reverse the rising tide in violent crime in Dominica”. Have you check with the police lately? Do you know that there is so far this year a 79% reduction in murders? The number of murders is three, three too many, but the last time we had such a low rate was in 1999. So how do you reconcile that? Was Dominica sliding into a dictatorship then?
With Senior Counsel discussing a matter is wrong, but its right for it to be done on Q95 and for that was Dominica is sliding into a dictatorship?
Don’t blame Skerrit for other Prime Ministers in the Caribbean copying some of the very policies that you are trying to criticize, had there been an examination every government would fail on the account of plagiarism. Is Dominica sliding to a dictatorship since other Caribbean leaders are copying him?
Thanks DNO for the patience in in allowing me to set some things straight.
I dont remember Philsbert Alfred being appointed as Chief of Police. I know he acted in the position of Deputy and Chief on a temporary basis. I also know because of these acting positions under UWP he was wrongly victimized and bypassed for the appointment even if he had done an excellent job. Please check your facts before posting.

“Mystery still surrounds discussions with Chinese investors to bring close to 10,000 Chinese to Dominica using land at Cotton Hill and Cabrits.” This is really troubling. I would really like to know what is going on with this plan because as an individual from Portsmouth, I don’t think we will allow that to happen. No Chinese is coming to use land in Cotton Hill and Cabrits.
i think all chinese should be sent to the north portsmouth, penville, paixbouche, ansde mai, vielle case.
you guys deserve them
FORKIT, just remember is not all of us in Portsmouth that voted labour.
Whistle blowers come out!!!! Bring out the info, we need facts;
Dates
Names
Times
Amounts
Reasons
Actions
Reactions
Give us hard evidence…..
i doh really care who vote labar cause i voted them in 2000, but dominicans especially people from the north enjoy supporting wrong doing that is why i made mention of all chinese should be sent to the north
Sean, while I am happy you spoke out and your sonfession is there for all to see, I am left with many questions from your statement. 1. As bad and currupt Skerrit is, if he had renewed your contract would you have continued to defend him like you did for many years? 2. Why did you stay so long before you spoke against something you blatantly defended for many years? 3.What really motivatad you to write this article? Is it: (a) love for country (b) Your way of getting back at Skerrit (c)Guilt because of how you defended lies when you knew better? (d)Because you are really convinced that Dominica is now in trouble and you as a person with information feel obligated to speak out? Please give us answers brother. Also, you applauded Skeritt’s vision to give University Education to at least one person in every household; Is this just talk or you really see that happening? I believee Skerrit is doing his best to give his supporters an education but if you don’t support him crapo suck you pipe and you are placed on his victimization list.You tried your best to be balance Sean, but you fell very short of telling us what is really hurting you as a concerned Dominica. As we move foward, I hope you will not continue to tell us about how corrupt UWP was because they are not in office but you use what you know of this present administration and educate us as a people.
There is a vast difference when someone is on the outside looking in, and when that same person is on the inside looking out!
While Douglas, was on the inside getting his pay cheque, at the end of each month, Skerrit could do no wrong, nonetheless, since he got fired, by Skerrit, he sees every fault in him now that he has lost his seat at the gravy table.
Oh, what a difference a day make; in this case what a difference one year make!
Be a man Douglas, and take it with a smile, you are fired for whatever the reason, if you are a politician, by now you should know the bitter and the sweet go’s together!
In the event you were still on the inside looking out, your sentiments reviled here would be buried in your heart and mind, I have no sympathy for you.

Comments like this reveal how serious you are as a person bro!!!!!! Think about Dominica in the long term and stop talking rubbish to people!!!! You guys need to grow up and stop behaving like persons whose brains have remained in a state of childhood!!!!!!! Wake up my brother!!!!!!
CORRUPTION IS THE NORM OF THE DAY FOR THESE GOVERNMENT PARTIES IN MANY COUNTRIES OF THE WORLD.I WONT DOUBT THIS PARTY IS INVOLVED AT ALL BCUZ IF A PM CAN COME AND SAY ITS NOT THEIR DAMN BIZNIZ WHERE I GET MY MONEY FROM…THEY CAN GO TO HELL!!!WOW!!!THATS UNPROFESSIONAL AND LEAVES ME WONDERING WHERE HE REALLY GETTING THAT MONEY FROM THAT HE TELLING WE ITS NOT OUR BIZNIZ WHERE HE GETS IT FROM.BUT SURELY I CAN SAY WE NEED A REVOLUTION,THERE WILL BE A REVOLUTION.ITS IN THE AIR AND IF THIS GOVERNMENT DONT CHANGE THEIR CULTISH BEHAVIOR A REVOLUTION IS INEVITABLE. MAY THE MOST HIGH GUIDE AND PROTECT THE INNOCENT OF THE LAND.
Good to point, good observations! Do you think that any Dominican, or Caribbean Island can go to this Questionable Communistic brutal system China and accept or decent democratic Republic System? Where be the rights of the Chinese people to be openly religions is a crime condoned by this Failed brutal one and only one brutal regime,? Shame 🙄😳 on the brutal inhuman behaviour of this Chinese inhuman Communist Government behaviour to control and not condone the fundamental Rights of the Chinese people, who has been locked 🔐 to this brutal wicked shameful Chinese Communist Government for years now. This is bombastic inhuman discriminatry brutal discriminatry failed questionable country named China.
In this by era of life in the year 2020 is shameful to deny the ” Human Rights” and Democracy on of a people. This Chinese government system is extremely brutal who has reduced and taken away the ‘Human Rights” of the Chinese People.
We all are humans in this world and must be respected.
Well if i was in any doubt about what Sean was saying, One Statement confirmed it.
“Many party supporters are beneficiaries of government’s outsourcing, having been granted contracts to supply security and janitorial services to government.”
I know three cleaning companies and one security firm that meet that description.
It is no joke. And DOMINICANS (DUMMY IN CANS) If all you doh open all u eyes . All u will suffer for it.
I have never heard of people voting a prime minister because he young and handsome.
People are literally suffering in this country.
More people have to talk. and Is time some educated and GOD-Fearing people take leadership of this country from these thieves and Vagabonds.
Yong people, you all put him in you all must put him out. They really said that ALL SHALL EAT. They never warned us that some would eat SHIT
people are voting the PM because these jokers on the other side have nothing to offer
your ass stay where u r u r a dummy in cann not me stu
pid
My dear friends, those who are receiving scolarships from the government are returning home and instead of liberated and intelligent enough to contribute!! You are educated but must know your place!!!! Without him, you would have nothing!!! Da people, that is his job, that is why he is there, to seek to provide opportunities for his people!!! That is why he is paid, recognised as PM!! You do not owe him anything, you owe your country allegiance!!!!! Your country and its interest first, do not be a slave to any individual as that will result in the destruction of your country!!!! Use your educated brain and contribute to the debate that can save your country!!!! Country first!!!!! Wake up!!!!!
Sean I’m just hoping that this is the appetizer and the main course (i.e hard facts, examples, evidence, names of individuals, etc.) is yet to come. Will continue to wait.
The people of Dominica should look at this documentary, this is what the Chinese are doing in Africa.
Pagans are from among the worst people on this earth.
Look at this documentary: http://watchdocumentary.com/watch/chinas-african-takeover-video_6972ec3fd.html
Why is that whenever someone comes out with an attacking piece on the government that we Dominicans say that it is sour grapes or that they are jealous of someone. This is one aspect of our culture that I dislike. Sean’s article was superbly written. He highlighted not only the negative aspects of the government but also the positives.
If anyone is in disagreement with Sean’s article, the best thing to do would be to oppose it with a masterpiece and I will respect that. But as long as opponents continue to speak of Sean being “jealous of our pm”or “sour grapes”, they will lose credibility. If you are in disagreement, do not attack the writer but attack the article.
i ssooooo agree
Typical Dominican behavior. Some of them went as far as talking about the boy’s late grandfather; just smh.
sean may be about self in his aim of this revelation and even so, we Dominicans need to look at the allegations of corruption that he is speaking about very seriously. Corruption only deprives us of our basic needs and drives us further into poverty. If this Government is stealing from its people, the people will one day rise up against the government and no one wants that.
Have’nt you been reading the news? these allegations have been around for years now, nothing new, so I am not impress, give us facts.
Very interesting topic.I must say that Dominicans are very kind and loving people. Desides,almost every Dominican is most probably related to someone anywhere on the island.
Having said this,we Dominicans must kick all forms of dishonesty out the window and do the right things to and for ourselves and others for the good of us all. To Government ministers and their associates who are corrupt at the expense of the nation stop it now. You all might be living it up now but might be prosecuted and spend all your later days in JAIL and wish you all were never born.Dominica is being noticed and you all are also being noticed.
Monkey no longer eating and enjoying grapes so all grapes sour now.Mr sean if your are claiming to be a man of principle why didn’t you condemn the adminstration whilst you were in there or as soon as you were disgracefully fired.why did you stay silent for one whole year.besides you have not said anything of substance or material to lead someone to think or believe that the labour party and the pm is corrupt.what you have said is a repeat of what lennox linton and the rest of the L.O.P.S sufferers have being saying.GROW UP SEAN.accept the fact that you are no longer enjoying those trips and running your mouth as you use to.you should have been fired a longtime ago when you opened your uncontrollable mouth.you remembered that time.don’t you?come with facts and the truth and them we will believe you.you were in the government for nine years so you should have proof of corruption or examples where dictatorship was used by the pm.until them get a life SEAN!!!!
Enough already you blind people
where are the facts sir? give some u afraid to be sued or wat?
AS I WAS SAYING: Sean i am angry that you took so long to voice you discontent at this corrupt regime,which is plundering our country, and resources.At the same time you and Ian have to carry part of the blame for the state of Dominica and Dominican politics…You should have know years ago that THIS IS NOT A LABOUR PARTY BUT A SKERRIT PARTY..I knew that and thousands of Dominicans knew that..Yet still you stayed in it untill…….The saying goes ” it is better late than never”..YOU MUST NOT ONLY BE ON THE PRINT MEDIA, YOU SHOULD VOLUNTEER TO BE ON THE POLITICAL PLATFORM,TO EXPOSE THESE ROGUES…You are bold enough, waiting to hear the reaction…from Ian and the rest.
POLITICAL SPIN BOWLER——LONG RUN BUT BOWLING SLOW—SEAN, LENOX, GROOVY BAT, MATT, BEHANZIN, PESTINHER, SPAGHETTI. WILLI BEHIND KEEPING. THE ANNOUNCEMENT OF BEHANZIN’S PROGRAMME WAS ANOTHER LONG RUN SLOW YOKER ……..LOL
DEM MAN DONT EVEN HAVE BATSMEN, DOMINICA GAVE THEM 21 RUNS TO WIN IN 5 YEARS, THEY COULD ONLY MAKE “3” AND THEY CRYING FOUL LIKE IS FOOTBALL. WHEN THEY WERE PLAYING FOOTBALL THEY WERE SCORING IN THEIR OWN GOAL.
Pli tard Pli twist
what does election results have to do with sean’s statement.
Wow! We are indeed in a crisis. If I were the Prime Minister and these allegations were being made again and by no less than a former Press Secretary, I would launch long overdue and immediate public inquiries into ALL these damaging allegations. And if, for whatever reason, I could not commission an inquiry? I would step down as a leader out of respect for the people and Country.
This is way too much distraction and allegations to brush away any of it or to explain away as sour grapes/”what he did not get”.
Right now, the vibrations of gross discontent and disgust are coursing through the Country and it looks like we are on the eve of the makings of another 1979 event. This time though, Hurricane David might look like a sea breeze.
cobweb his father is julian burton. he used to work for that racist bank called barclays
you idiots always like to include people’s family name and information on the comment board
This is all about Skerrit corruption and dictatorship, time will tell
had it not been for the Douglas brothers labour would have been out, they were the ones holding the forth for the party, which as we all know that this labour is not the labour party of the 60’s and in the days of mike and Rosie
Sean, go for it. Please give us more of the well known failure and incompetence and questionable thoughts of this failed incompetent Questionable inmature failed Skerrit and his failed questionable incompetent Labour party Government. This DLP Labour leadership is a pappyshow a failure a fake, and ignorant to Socioeconomic development concept and therefore our Suffering unemployed people has been reduced to begging through this Devious fake Red (Bobol) Clinic discriminatry brutal wicked shameful thoughts. It tells us that Skerrit is not politically visionary, he lacks knowledge of Socioeconomic development concept and is not Leadership Material 🥺😮, he’s just this Pappyshow political disgusting Politician (?) and is not Sufficiently intelligent nor mature to hold this prestigious position of Prime Minister to our aching Dominica. Skerrit as he said to us:- “Go to Hell, Go to Hell it’s none of Our Damn Business”. CAN you imagine the language of this clown. He’s now stained. Need to…
When things were good it was in the travelling that had money, now he cannot travel to make money he crying fowl.Boy we dont want to hear u
I LOVE PEOPLE WITH AMNESIA BECAUSE I LIKE TO LAUGH. SEAN WHAT ABOUT HOW YOU “SEAN DOUGLAAS” USED TO MAKE THE BIG DOLLARS? YOU REMEMBER THAT TAPE? SEAN YOU WAS PART OF IT SO DONT CRY DOWN SKERRIT. YOU WAS THEIR PUBLIC VOICE.
Signs of the times are here!!!!! people of Dominicans, we got to wake up and smell whats really cooking in the pot!!! Sean, i applaud you for coming out of the same closet where you hanged Ur favorite suits and expensive shoes. But my question is why now? If you had cared for the people of the country as you have stated and not wanting to embark on a policy that you say is throwing away the legacy beliefs and fundamentalism of Rosie, why did it take you so long? I am flabagasted
to know all these things when you yourself passed and spat on the very ones by who ur once high praised political corrupt administration reaped and stole from just to have you enjoy the same sour grapes you are now vomiting after eating for so many years.
Whats the real reason you got fired? oh by the way i thought the dictator ship have already began! Its funny how the very same people like you started it and blames it all on one mango tree with all the other sour fruits. DOMINICANS!!!!!!!! there is more light to be shed. its just a matter of time when the load will be too much to carry and conscience will be eaten up inside. the labour government is bribing people, with materialistic
things in order to get them in his cage…But wait… don’t you realize he don’t have to do this no more? the pm has already got the horns on his head and all he has to do is let it be seen……But one thing i know, whatever he soweth that he shall reap!!
Make drastic changes now and stop leaving by the decisons our parents have left behind..think for your self and stand not when you are told, speak not when you are spoken to!!!!!
there is always a silver lining behind a dark cloud but as it unfolds, the cloud gets brighter and everyone will see the light!!1
There are many grievances in the Dominican society and it is just a matter of time before it explodes. When a country suffers economic depression, alleged corrupt governance, a failed justice system this causes a series of domino effects such as: frustration among the youth as they see no future here, we see an increase in the degree of criminal activities. We see a pattern that people whom it is assumed they have money are being killed, kidnapped etc.
Sean you are now complaining about the very establishment you were part of for a number of years. It is good to come forward in matters of urgent need and the people of Dominica welcome that, however, as seen in many comments, your motives will naturally be questioned. We hope that your intentions are pure, if not, with time the truth will be revealed.
@ Muslim.. Unlike your wishes, It is not going to explode. In as much as you Muslims like to explode people things, it only stands a chance of exploding in regards Domlec and high electrict rates, or the failed victimization of Marijuana users; not because of this issue. Sorry Allah dude!
Ok people! We seem to have a problem here. If the DLP is corrupt as Sean is saying and we know the UWP has been as to what he said about Timothy, where do we go from here?
The UWP was voted out of Govt. because we as a people believe that they were corrupt. It remains therefore to conclude that we cannot and should not vote back a corrupt bunch of people into Govt.
Now we are being made to believe that the DLP is corrupt. We now have to consider voting them out of Govt.
The DFP is in exile for there is no real leadership or people with the know how to take this country forward.
People this country is crying for real leaders. We need a new political party with people from UWP, DLP, DFP and other citizens who havent been tainted by this political nonsense. Arthie, Edo, and the rest please stay out. We need new faces and new ideas.Lets take back our country.
My brother Sean Douglas,i am in full support of u speaking out,it may be late but u are present even if it had to take a fall out between u and Skerrit for not renewing your contract.Some backs has to be against the wall so we can stand to what is true and right.U need to give us hard core evidence of everything u know and u also need to take the lead together with cousin Tiyani and uncle Washoa in marching us down the streets of government headquarters to rid off Skerrit and the band of thugs which holds the country ransom.If needs be let your family see Skerrit send his henchmen give u all the first bullet,then the rest of us will die with u.But we know for sure Skerrit will not escape both the wrath of GOD and the people.
It was really entertaining to read this piece. My question to you Mr. Douglas, What took you so long to stand up for what you believe and say is the vision of Rosie? While you were enjoying the fruits of the same Government that you are now calling corrupt, there seemed to have been no problem. You still have not stated factually the circumstances of your dismissal from your post as Press Sect. Was it because of a contract dispute, or was it because you realised that the Government was corrupt?
I guess that because “Skerrit does not carry “Douglas”, you think that he should not carry on the legacy of his father, I mean your uncle? Your uncle obviously felt a little closer to him and felt that he was much brighter and bolder than you which is on of the reasons that he groomed Skerrit and not you to carry on his vision and legacy. The legacy of relationships with China, the continued relationship with Cuba, and Libya, and the development of relationships with Russia. The political culture in Dominica has changed, and if we are all interested in the continued development of Dominica, nothing is wring with finding the right combination of minds and ideas to formulate a dynamic team. So the people you are calling clonies, were themselves groomed by your uncle.
So when you talk about the vision of your lete uncle, you have no idea what that vision was since it was never shared with you Mr. Former Press Sect.
One Love Dominicans
I was thinking along the same lines. Had he not have left you would have stayed mute. This is the problem I have with these type of people.
people look what we have done to our country because of hate & greed,dominica become a place of high stress now, am a grad with a degree i left dominica fully develop when i came back from my studies in 2000 i was shock to see the mess our was
country in, you all that put Dominica soo! big up to sean, thanks my brother for being honest.
interesting Dominica was developed in 2000.
Some folks like to wear their degrees on their chest and in our faces ala Francisco .
With all due respects,bro, for “a grad with a degree”, your punctuation is awful. No capital letters and full stops. Commas are misplaced and the thought process is incoherent. I hate to sound like Francisco but you are a big boy with a BS or BA. That makes you an under grad anyway. Grads have MA and MS. What do you have? I would have given you a pass if you were not a grad.
Well, since I am not getting paid to be perfect, here, I see no need to put the extra effort out.
In any event I am not a linguist major, and in order for me to obtain the degrees I have under my belt, I did not have to go beyond English 28, in an American University.
I am an Electronic/Electrical Eng., I had to know more upper level math, than English to get there, and even when I deviated into Health Science, all I needed was English 102, which is actually creative writing.
By the way I once made my living as a technical write, in the field of electronics, and they comprehend my language, followed my instructions to the letter, and got results.
Hahahahahahahahahahahahaha:
You see we perform the best when there is some money involved, ( I doh getting none here oui, create a contest, let’s see hoiw the kid would fair in it).
Right now the kid is having fun, drinking all kinds, drunk last night, and I getting drunk again today.
Later oui!
Francisco Etienne-Dods Telemaque
Ooopsss!!! I get caught with my pants down!! I thought you were not looking!! Heheheee. My bad oui !!
Well well well…..very interesting.
As expected, the immature, the lil children, the innocent, the beneficiaries, the cult followers and those who just don’t understand anything about anything will attack Sean for having given this INITIAL speech.
He has criticized the UWP in the very same article, do you see any UWPites calling him names or attacking him? This is the fundemental difference between supporters of the UWP and the DLP. Wrong is wrong, no matter who does it. This is why when Mr. Williams got into his drama, he was asked to resign. Unlike the DLP, who kept Ambrose as minister after his several scandals. This is just one example.
So Sean boy, I will never forget your “egg by there”, “cheese by there” tape. However, I applaud you for speaking out. Some may say its a repeat of what they been hearing. So it appears that they have not believed what they have been hearing. They do not even have the capacity in their brain to realize that since you are now repeating the claims, it is a form of confirmation from a person WITHIN.
I notice some who are not able to challenge anything you said, are asking you if this is all. I honestly believe that you have much more to say and it is just a matter of time.
I know that you know much more than you have said. It is only a total idiot who would not expect you to know much more than what has already been said on air by the opposition.
So I await the rest sir. I patiently await the continuation of the clearance of your conscience. The hundreds of persons on DNO, in Dominica, out of Dominica and etc who have attack persons who have been speaking against the nonesense taking place in government will if not soon, but eventually bow their heads in shame.
I understand, that more will speak as time goes by and the innocent ones who have no idea of what they speaking of will slowly go silent and refrain from attacking persons like you. Please don’t be detered by their attacks. Forgive them, cause they know not what they do. Some of these people grow up hearing the ignorant and thoughtless Labour Party brand of politics. They were sent to school, to educate themselves so that they could come back to their Mom, Dad and Grand Parents and say to them look…..you guys just seat here shouting labour labour…but you need to look at this thing from a different perspective.
Sir I can assure that the people who will attack you here are either those who are now holders political jobs (those they have because of who they voted for and suppport and may no longer have when their party falls), those who are direct financial beneficiaries of the corruption taking place, those with a deep hatred for Edison James and the UWP for no substantial reason or simply those lil children browsing facebook and other sites just talking crap.
If you had accepted the job of apologist for the DLP, these people would all be saying “THANK YOU SEAN!”
Those sacway may-shas-tay!
Well Thank Yo!
I never heard the Prime Minister say that he holds fast to Rosie Douglas’s principle!! And even if he did, Skerritt is his own person!!! Rosie Douglas did not have a twin!!!! and even twins are DIFFERENT!!! I find all of this political back and forth troubling, and at the end of the day the “overwhelming poor masses” still suffer. I can imagine Sean having an indifferent attitude towards poor people, and now this article, begs the question: To what aim is all of this? Remember it is the overwhelming poor masses that elected the Prime Minister. I just find all of this baffling and borders on ridiculous. I am very wary of turncoats, their agenda is always: ME MYSELF AND I.
Well done Sean,it took a lot of courage to do what you did.Don’t be worried you will be called names but i know what you have said is true only fools would think contradict let me share this poem by Thomas Gray.
Ode on a distant prospect of Eton College.
Ah-Las regardless of their doom the little victims play,no sense have they of ills to come, nor care beyond today.
These shall the fury passion tear
the vultures of the mind disdainful anger,
pallid fear and shame that skulks behind.
Or pining love shall waste their youth,
or jealousy with ranking tooth
that inly gnaws the secret heart
and envy wan and faded care grim-visaged comfortless dispair,
and sorrow’s piercing dart.
Since sorrow never comes to late and happiness too swiftly flies
thought would destroy their paradise no more
where ignorance is bliss tis folly to be wise
i think, My personal feeling is that USA is not heading towards dictatorship. I know that several decisions taken by our prime minister seem to give a feeling that we are heading towards dictatorship but it is not that case.
Sean is not accusing the Hon. Roosevelt Skerrit of anything! What has he said that has implicated Skerrit? Mr. Douglas, if you care so much for the good name of your mentor, the Hon. Rosie Douglas, why don’t you just come out and say clearly, what is it you are accusing Mr. Skerrit about?
I guess you have nothing to say but more rhetoric and misplaced anger!
The article is very diplomatically styled, but I would have liked Sean to elaborate some more on the dismantling of the institutions of Democracy, and give specifics as they relate to the Electoral Office, the Judiciary, and the Police Service since these three fundamental institutions are the foundation upon which any free democratic society is built upon.
Incriticizingg Sean we need to look at the bigger picture, because as I see it the small things that we are aware of are just cover for what is really taking place in Dominica.
Sean Talks a lot about dictatorship and personality cult. Those are the result of the dismantling of all our institutions, as we have seen happen over the past 7 years or so as a result of which we are witnessing the crime wave which in my view is an indication that law and order has broken down ananarchicic is setting in. It has now pass time to act.
Nonetheless, Louis, while he was part of it all, getting that pay cheque, his sentiments were totally different. He did not view Mr. Skerrrit as a dictator!
The shoe is now on the other feet, thus Dominica is heading into a dictatorship. I am still on the road, ending my vacation in Ohio, I should be back in Los Angeles, perhaps by the end of the week.
Francisco Etienne-Dods Telemaque
Sean if the government had given you a bigger paycheck like you wanted you would not be singing this song.Get some real work to do brother get a life.You peoplle think when a contract is over this government got to follow you all rules and directions Sean.This is what makes me love Skerritt,He makes no man control him.He is the BOSS Sean.Stop crying.
Sorry THAT WAS IAN .
I hope that he also condemns Sean.Who would ask u whats in it for him when u wanted duty waived on some of your stuff etc.generators.Remember Sean,my friend from Wesley came to you.
I will not do like you Sean, I will post letters in the newspapers for all to see. I was not fired,I resigned of my own free will. Mine will come out just before elections, because I think Dominicans need to understand who they are really entrusting to govern the affairs of their country. Skerrit, his ministers, his board of directors and his hand picked workers need to go.
I will teach Dominicans when the time is right how going to school and hard work pays off in Dominica.
But…not just yet….I’m going to sit and watch how things unfold nicely.
Sounds like a ticking time bomb!!! Can’t wait, for some real honest facts!!
I know the BIG question is why now and why not sooner. I can identify with this situation. For whatever reason we choose to remain silent but soon enough many more will come out from the trenches, nooks and cranny of the DLP…… The nonesence we put up with when we support a political. I still can’t understand I applauded the PM when he said these, “none of your Damn business. GO to Hell, go to hell”…. to me that was the best thing that could come from the man’s mouth as if i was under a spell no I SEE THEM AS THE MOST DISTASTEFUL, DISRESPECTFUL, ARROGANT, IRRESPONSIBLE, INSULTIVE words to ever come from the lips of any political leader in any part of the civilized world. How could I encourage youths of this nation to emulate this kinda characters in politics? I suspect that we tend to love our leaders/parties so much that it becomes fanatical…. if we put DOMINICA first we shall hold all our leaders to account and be comfortable when it comes to “putting them in their place and speaking truth to power”!!!!!!
after reading carefully and prayerfully i want to warn all spiritual leaders, political leaders and every body to be careful because nothing is hidden befor God and whatever happen in darkness will come to the light añd whatever one soweth that will reap.
THIS PM HAVE GOT TO GO….TEACH ME TO BE A FISHERMAN…INSTEAD OF MAKING ME COME AND BEG EVERY TIME FOR A FISH TAIL… I SEEING CORRUPTION HAPPENING EVERYDAY, WHO GETTING SCHOLARSHIP BECAUSE THERE PARENTS KNOW SOMEONE…AND MY FAMILY HAVE ME ALONE WITH A HIGH SCHOOL EDUCATION AND AM REJECT BECAUSE I DON’T HAVE A STRING TO PULL…WELL GOD HAVE THE ROPE AND HE WILL PULL IT SOON…..SKERRIT HAVE TO GO….AND THOSE FOOLISH MPs ARE JUST AS DUMB AND THE PEOPLE WHO VOTE FOR SKERRIT, BASED ON THINGS THEY GET!!! AND AS FOR UWP….U ALL NEED TO PULL UP UR BLINGING SLIDERS!!! GIVE ME SOMETHING TO SAY “YES ATLEAST THEY OFFERING SOMETHING” A LOT OF PEOPLE DIDN’T VOTE UWP BECAUSE THEY ARE EMPTY HANDED!!! LAST ELECTION WAS JUST A JOKE….JEEZZZ!! I FED UP WITH U PEOPLE…. AMERICA WORST THAT’S WHY I NEVER LEFT…
HEAR MY CRY……GET HIM OUT……
PS….THIS IS NOT MY HOME…AM JUST PASSING THROUGH…MY HOME HAVE THE PUREST AND MOST HONEST LEADING ALMIGHTY GOD!!BUT IN THE MEAN TIME AND IN BETWEEN TIME….MY GOD DON’T SUPPORT CORRUPTION…AND HE WILL DEAL WITH THOSE WHO RUB THE POOR AND CLAIM TO BE HELPING THE POOR FOR THEIR OWN PERSONAL GAIN!!!
Ok I get all what you have to say, no new information that I have not heard before but why now? is it really sour grapes? I wonder if you were in office still,what would be your actions today? would you be shareing this info with us?
i don’t see anything here indicating that the country is sliding to a dictatorship.SEAN you too have agreed that Dominicans are no longer fools we see right through you. you have enjoyed all what you got already, but your greed has taken it all away from you. had you recieve what you demanded this article would never have crossed your mind.
TRY AGAIN PAL.
Mr.Sean Douglas, Please think again as to who caused the Canadian Government to impose visa restrictions on Dominica. I think you have this one ALL WRONG. Did you forget your Uncle was warned about the sale of passports when Ambrose George was the minister responsible for sale of passports? Despite the warning they still continued selling the passports and the criminals were caught on the Canadian border with Dominican passports. That was the last we heard and we had visa restrictions right on our door steps. So Mr. Douglas please do your homework.
Skerrit is the one, because one day after Douglas left Canada, he died, no visas to come, as we all know Skerrit is selling Dominica to all them communist countries
Do you know that Canada removed the visa for the other small Caribbean island a few years ago, so visa had nothing to do with Douglas, he was asked to remove it and was killed one day after arriving in DA
Sean Dog ass.
While we lambase Sean Sean for so many things, I have a question; how comes a government employee, who is a contractual worker, was allowed to work for over a year without a signed contract? When we look for things to talk about, here is one. If you are a contractual worker, the first thing which should happen when your contract is about to expire is to renew it. Sean had every right not to sign any contract retroactive and to demand back pay. This is incompetence!!!
Nothing new hear people…let’s just pack it up and go to the next story. Matt, Angelo, lennox and eddie had been saying that all along….for years!!!
so now that they fire sean he is hitting back. NEEEXT!!!!!
YOU HAVE CREDIBILITY PROBLEMS PAL! U WERE PUSHED U DID NOT WALK!
loloololol effective
labour party is not the right party for DA, could somebody tell me what is the other alternative.
u punk, poofta u did betray da ya silence while u were in d sesspool of garbage (dlp) was betrayal and now ya grapes turn sour u comin cry foul man go die in a corner…
SEAN, WHEN THINGS WERE GOOD AND YOU WERE
PLAY BIG YOU NEVER TALK, NOW YOU WERE KICKED
TO THE CURB YOU ARE CRYING THE GRAPE IS
SOUR. IF YOU KNEW THEY WERE DOING WRONG AND
SO CORRUPT WHY DID YOU WORKED WITH THEM FOR
NINE YEARS. SEAN, FRANKLY SPEAKING YOU
JUST AS BAD.
Well I well late for the BREAKING NEWS or BRAKING NEWS… put the brakes on them well late after the crash. En ben mi tory…when i tell you this is stale news, the pudding bound to be sweet. Tony weep his ASS, Eddie weep his ASS, but, is still breaking news… tell them sean…
is only now you see the light
sucker for a dollar. but all you still in government just ask the coconut farmer and the municipal man
Same old story over and over. Tell us something we haven’t heard before.
When the Fox couldn’t get the grapes,it said they were sour.
Ron,you knew it all and lived it all while you were there.Now you are no more,it grieves you.Being so genuine like you pretend to be,why didn’t you reveal those things while you were in your “HIGH”OFFFICE and leave because you knew all that was happening was not to Rossie’s expectation.You chose not to.Why?Now because you are not enjoying the good times you use to have,you come spitting things out like you so sincere.The evil men do lives with them.You were part of the Dictatorship formation.Your wrong doings and greed are haunting you.So you confessing.Bet if you were still in your position in the Government,the world would have known nothing of the things you said.You didn’t get what you wanted so you now choose to join the rest of the so-called..PATRIOTS..on Q95.
Oh my GOD.WHERE are we heading to?
Let’s c what impact this revelation is going to have on the minds of the people who have an interest in what is best for This country.
it would seem that, Other revelations haven’t had much impact.
hmm after a time is another and it takes one corrupt person to know another, to this day there is yet one corruption charge filed against uwp but all labourites pointing fingers at one anpther Sean if you think by belching ur sour bubbles now when the day of reckoning comes u will not be fleeced with the corrupt Roosevelt Skerrit administration u dam lie all of all u have to pay and we will paint the prison red the blood and sweat and tears of poor struggling suffering dominicans is on ur hands too and u and all the labour party cohorts will have to pay sackway meshanstay
I would not like anyone to misinterpret my strong resentment, of the manner in which the Dominican people have been manipulated, for my alignment to any political party. Though I bear this feelings toward this present administration I am also dissatisfied with the lack of any viable opposition. We have allowed this to happen to US through greed, selfishness, jealousy and most of all, appthy. It is this moreso which has lead us to the precipice we are now at. We often talk of peaceful resolution and prayer. Rather honorable sentiments I must respect. But it is this inaction, which is often the root cause of temptation. Before you disagree, I must explain myself. When good men fail to act. and not only act, but act decisively. There leaves no room for temptation of other men to even consider a course of inappropriate behaviour in your direction. In other words, u earn the respect of other men. And your example keeps them in line. When we don’t act we tempt the perpetrator of such actions with the assumption that we are weak and so can be overridden at their will. This is why our leaders must be STRONG not only physically, but in morality and humility as well. But it takes a strong nation to bring forth strong leaders. A people who can come together and stand as one people. No bribery, professionalism and not favoriteism. Educated and knowledgeable in the fact that you cannot act our of accordance of the law no matter who u are and what position you have. And that to do so is an infringement on the peoples civil rights. We need men of steel who posses a sound moral compass to lead us, but look around…………..
Lamentations of a former proven corrupt:
What a world!
Once I too was sinful. Now I am saved!
Stop being nice to me so I will lambase you in front of the whole world.
Me think thou protest too much Sean
sean thanks
i love your article better late than never i want chrispin/ laurin and francine to talk next/
MR DOUGLAS THERE IS ALOT MORE U HAVE TO LET OUT PLEASE DO IT SOON DONOT MIND THOSE ILLITERATED PEOPLE OF OUR COUNTRY PLEASE AM WITH U HELP SAVE OUR PARADISE LET US BRING BACK DOMINICA BEFORE ITS TOO LATE
IT IS TIME FOR THOSE LABOUR PARTY PARL REPS TO START THINKING ABOUT THE COUNTRY INSTEAD OF THEMSELVE AND THE SERVICE OF SKERRIT’S INTEREST. IT IS TIME THAT THESE MEN BECOME MEN.
Within the political landscape whether there are defactors,or those who switch parties, or those who get fired, you never expect them to make comments or statements that would support the ex rgime, it is like a divorce, how would you expect a party to a divorce to say nice things about the other party? However educated Dominicans who read blogs like me was just curious to know what information that a stunt supporter of Mr Douglas legacy would have to say about a party he inherited. Clearly Mr Shean has gotten alot of publicity with his narration, which is what I hope he wanted. Dominica still has a democratic process within the election cycle, and it will be tested when voters go back to the polls. Maybe Mr Shean will represent some party and he will get his post back in goverment.
Why are you all surprised at Sean? Isn’t he a Douglas? he is just showing his true to his name self… ALL the Douglas boys are self-serving oportunists….. Rosie ranted about election monies while he was being fed all kinds of monies from libya, Sean we feel your pain, you are a Douglas with no power in Dominica, that must realy hurt.
i agree Skeritt should have been gone a long time ago…only in dominica can a man show such disregard for the constitution…but then again…what is our alternative?
you want an alternative you gook Buffong any thing but Skerrit that corrupt, decietful,dishonest,lying little boy you all voted to lead this country where is Mr. Cheng 20 million u.s.talk about that insted of alternative
I thought you were coming up with some new development. that’s old uwp vibs. am sure my brother Skerrit have learn his lessons. Don’t worry my brother we all go off tract at some point.
God bless us all.
ALL YOU ALL CAN DO IS TALK, none of the fancy words you all using can change anything, you all will have to go untop morne diablotin with allu P.A SYSTEM
Haha you think?? DOminica lost began its slide to dictatorship with the coalition government.
I am curious too where all the monies go for the passport program we have. With over 100 applications processed so far this year I know at US$250,000 each somebody is making a lot of money…the list of agents all being on the government website. Please can someone enlighen me?
THERE IS NOTHING TO FEAR, BUT FEAR ITSELF!!!!!
One wonders therefore whether this government has the moral authority to reverse the rising tide in violent crime in Dominica.
shut up you IDIOT!!!!!!
This guy is full of hot air and bravado. Two days ago, in response to the ICCPR report, he said that he was an “advocate for peoples freedom of speech and proper representation.” He asked that our blue and red shades be taken out.
Now he has written 14 comments on this story. He is inciting violence without taking the lead. He thinks that people are irrational and stupid. Phillip Timothy died in 1979 and nobody mentions his name today. This guy, 1979, writes, “allu still there talking”……..”Dominicans are weak and coward”….”in time??? what time?? now we have to act”….”you still watching!!!” …..
“When I put my army boots on…I coming out for action…what we waiting for again Dominicans??”….Then he talks about “allu PM”..”allu government”.
’79, you see, when the South wanted land reform we took the Geneva Estate, for which the Nassiefs have not forgiven us. We took the Liberty Estate at Bellevve Chopin, for which the Shillingfords have not forgiven us. We protested for the freedom of Desmond Trotter and Nelson Mandela while being called stupid and brain washed by the rest of Dominica. We had a contingent of cadres at the airport to welcome Comrade Rosie Douglas back to Dominica. We demonstrated for political independence while the DFP and Young Freedom Movement opposed it. We’ve been shot at by police for wearing sensay costume. Now, it is being worn in Roseau, St.Thomas and even mainland USA.
Check yourself, bro. Deflate your hot air or else you will be a statistic. You are the greatest talker. Be forewarned that the CIA monitors Alqueda chatter by listening to their cell phones and monitoring their computer activities. Dominica can change by peaceful means. Embrace it!!! Empty barrel !!
well said this person came out off nowhere with his 1979 they guy have more post on here for one instance i see he get vex at ADMI for not post one of his many comments that must be edo just under a fake name.
Can you imagine, an educated man supports a govt, knows of all these wrong doings and only speaks out when he falls out of grace with them. I am certain, that there are many more Seans in the Labour Party. SPEAK OUT NOW MY PEOPLE OTHERWISE WHEN THIS GOVT COMES DOWN WHICH IT WILL SOON, YOU WILL BE EMBARRASSED TO HAVE SUPPORTED SUCH WRONG DOING AND YOUR CONSCIENCE WILL KILL YOU.
Did I hear educated????
Same old bla bla bla bla, nothing new. Mr Douglas I was so hyped waiting to hear some breaking news, but is the same old, same old. Wate of time just repeating the same old allegations.
Can u shut your laborite hole?
You see, Sean spent all that time in Martinique looking for sweet Monique, could not find her, and now, comes back home descending his frustrations on Skerritt. Shame on you Sean. Couldn’t get that french woman to ask you out to an expensive hotel for breakfast? I guess you miss that omelette, punch of cream, toasted wheat bread, fresh cow milk and so on that Skerritt showered on you. You and Linton needing to be riding in that same motor car.
Educated men like Mr. Douglas have spoken out he said what other men and women have been saying all along so yes you a correct when you have heard it all before but what you told yourself or a matter of fact can you honestly explain to your children of grand children why it’s so difficult for the other children whoes parent haven got to give and have you teach thme how it’s better to have and not to give. I feel sorry for folks like you and if DOMINICA is to survive it doent want the likes of you continue sleeping thru it all whenever you wake up it will be to late.
allu PM is also the FINANCE MINISTER…..but nothing wrong with that man…….nothing wrong with that at allllllllllllllll……..RMS can never do nothing wrong…… he was sent by GOD himself…….hmmmm jah boy….help Dominica..
ADMIN: TAKE A LOOK AT THIS, YOUR PICTURE IS THERE AS WELL SO LOOK GOOOOOOODDD

WHILE U THERE ON YOU BIG WHITE HORSE. IM LOOKING FOR YOU SERVERS AND WHEN I FIND THEM I WILL HAVE A FEILD DAY.. I AM FED UP WITH YOUR PACIFISM WE ARE GOING TO BRING YOU TO YOUR KNEES…
pathetic, u cant even host your own website..
wiredtree huh??? we will see how long the tree stays wired…..
but wait….i will admit these revelations are not anyting new to us…thanks to Q95!!!!! I dont think it sour grapes….u know..sometimes a man has to clean his closet (conscience) to move on purposefully and confidently in life’s endeavors. It takes a MAN especially a person in public life to stand up and come clean….man’s spirit is not forgiving! admission of guilt or knowledge of wrong doing can enlighten ones heart…i propose that Mr. Douglas needs to do this. As a man he is graduating to a new level. It sends a message to us Dominicans…..not many of us have mirrors in our house. There are even spiritual leaders here in DA who wish they could be so brave…and face the music.
I honor u Sean. U are a man of dignity. You don,t have to come out and say the things i wish u should have said. I honor u for your human spirit…u are teaching us alot. pastor BJ couldn’t say it like u…..my brother i honor u. Don’t worry about wht we really want to hear….it will come out…..THANK U FOR BRINGING UR LITTLE CANDLE TO SHOW A LITTLE LIGHT IN THAT DUNGEON WHERE WE EXIST. SEAN I HONOR U FOR BEING A MAN AND NOT A BOY!!! I HONOR U WITH RESPECT AND GRATITUDE.
and I honor you as well my brother, it takes courage to stand up AND SPEAK UP…..we must learn to Honor people who are able to exemplify the makings of what we can hope to become as a nation….WE CANNOT CONTINUE TO LIVE IN FEAR OF OUR OWN TOUNGES SAYING WHAT IS RIGHT….NO MAN IS PERFECT, AND NOT ALL OF US ARE ABLE TO STAND UP AGAINST OUR FEARS. WHEN WE STAND UP SOMETIMES WE REALISE THAT THERE WAS NOTHING TO FEAR IN THE FIRST PLACE.
18-3 Take that sore losers
Oh by the way Shawn, Roosie is my family too.
woooow, only time will tell.I am waiting and watching.I do not agree with with every thing he said, but he tried to be balance.
what u wanted u did not get you should have play the cards they gave you to the pm but how they really watching timothy in those meeting they having you see he play his cards right and who buying the cards for him is who profit in.
YOU SOUND LIKE YOU ARFE DEVOID OF EVEN THE SLIGHTEST IOTA OF PRINCIPLES
Foondcole ensure that you are playing your cads right too
I cannot understand what the thank yous are for. When I read the title, I was excitingly looking forward to reading something really new like the corrupt actions he stood against, the wrongs he wrote about that did not make it to the GIS news desk, the lies he refused to make news, or his threats of making the corrupt actions public hence the reason for his termination but instead I read about mysteries which will remain mysteries because he did not give us the answers. I read about what I have already read about in the Director of Audit report and everything else that has already been made public.
Sean if that’s all you know then that should not be weighing on you conscience for a whole year. If you really want to tell us something then just tell us with details. Tell us exactly what us the deal with the Chinese and how it is going to affect us in Dominica. Tell us what you did with the intention of benefiting Dominicans and Dominica which lead to the predicament that you are now in
This is the very first time the dude is speaking. He will definately speak again, especially when Tony and the Cabal starts to attack him.
So have some patience. You will get your answers. Rest assured, Sean knows much more than what he wrote.
Give the man a chance to clear his conscious the best way he sees fit
Shawn. What a waste. Thought u had something to say. All I have read here is what those opposed to Skerrit and the labour party have been saying. Thank God you were gotten rid off. now u on DNO and frankly i dont think your article will make a differnce. One thing I know it just goes to show what a little boy you are. Farewell my brother !
This article by shawn is pure garbage. the revelations by Shawn are nothing new, where is the beef. Where are the happenings which would lead one to dictatorship. Where are the arbitrary abuse of power. Where are the blatant instances of denial of human right etc.
All Shawn has done is to sing this old song taken directly from Angel and Lennox Linton’s hymn book. There is no substance, no beef in the article except for the same Shxx different days.
no gwen all sean is donig is confirming lennox revelations were true. that is why skerro cannot sue him
It good to hear all the comments but, I wonder if people really understand the article. I do not beleive it is a case of sour grapes. He chose now to speak, but that does not mean we must not think about what he said. SOMETHING IS VERY WRONG IN DA. GOD HELP US. SAVE DOMINICA FROM RUTHLESS POLITICIANS.
If according to the Cab Sec last year, Sean had recieved a “well deserved” increase in salary, he would still be languishing in a small office at the GIS. Sean never refuted the Cabinet Secretary’s statement that a salary issue remianed the real reason why a new contract remianed unsigned for 17 months whilst negotions with Sean continued. When the parties could not make progress, and Sean went to the Press with his matter, he was asked to leave. He sought legal advice. We do not know what he was told. Remember Sean was offered a position at the GIS whioh he refused on the grounds that working at the GIS was really a demotion. As Press secretary he rubbed shoulders with many high profile officials – Sean himself said that. In any event how busy or productive was Sean in the nine years he served as Press Secretary?
Sean this is sour grapes. If you were granted a hefty salary raise you would have remianed amidst the “corruption”. You have sunken really low my boy.
For those who do not know. sean’s step-father is a trusted advisor of the Prime Minister who work out of the PM’s office. Sean’s first cousin Ian is a sitting minister of government. So Sean’s case would have certainly recieved some consideration at the highest level. I am also sure that it was not an easy decision to simply fire Sean given his family’s long association with the ruling party. So what is your stress Sean? So please allow Lennox, Eddy, Athie and Angelo to embrace you because that is all they do – embrace losers, shirkers and jerkers.
Right on!
As your name says possi man,you are as dumb as the many portsmouth people who follow labour.fifty years and not much working for us in possi.by the way i from glanvillia i know what i saying
123, I am from Dierre-La-Rosin and I agree with you 1000%.
Ian almost did not get to run for possie last election and while you mentioning Ian, you must remember his famous tape which by the way has a PART 2!
DAM SHAME SEAN.LET THE PAST BE THE PAST.THINK POSITIVE AND MOVE FORWARD.STOP PERSONALIZING DEROGATORY;LET`S BUILD OUR COUNTRY.
NONESENSE! THE MAN HAS A CONSCIENCE… SOMETHING WHICH YOU ARE OBVIOUSLY DEVOID OF.
a country cannot be built on corruption, lies and increase in crime. wake up
I am not political but this is all too little too late. If you are going to speak out now because you want to put the record straight, give examples, bring the evidence. What exactly happened that got you fired or made you resign? The article is much about nothing and nothing we have not heard before. You obviously hinting that you know a lot more but you still protecting yourself. What difference has this article made apart from some people saying its just sour grapes – best you had just kept quiet!
Sean it is good that you are now part of the roll call – you have marked yourself present. Now be an active participant – not an observer. In your year of reflection did you (as a former insider) figure out how to stop that slide?
It may be the right time for some innovative action. We do not have forever ….. pleeaaaase!
Times are hard, the true spirit of entrepreneuship in Dominica may be going to the chinese, no real political connections like before, my unemployment check may be running out. It is chaotic to say the least. My response is late but about 1% of the reading public will read that and most cannot effect change. So Dominicans here you have it. Clearly no goverment is perfect, however at the end of the day people are looking for the Hugo Chavez’s who can be accomodating to the average citizen, maybe we should ask Skerrit who is his mentor, and then we will know where our country is going.
Now that is my take.
NOW THE ASH FALLING DOWN, BOY MONEY POWERFUL EH…..TO SEE HOW PEOPLE WHO CLAIM TO KNOW GOD. SELL THEMSELVES TO A MAN JUST LIKE THEM. AND DONT CARE WHO HAVE TO SUFFER AND DIE, JUST AS LONG AS THEIR POCKETS ARE LINED……THIS IS A SAD DAY FOR DOMINICA…..I KNOW HOW TO MAKE MY BACKDOOR ALREADY, AND I HAVE LIVED IN THE GUTTER BEFORE. SO IT IS NOTING NEW TO ME. BUT MY CHILDREN WILL NOT SUFFER FOR THE SAKE OF A FEW GREEDY BLIND PEOPLE, THAT HAVE GIVEN UP ON THEMSELVES AND THEIR ABILITY TO ACHEIVE, AND HAVE SURRENDERED TO BE FED BY THE HAND OF THE ONE HOLDING THE YOKE. JUST LIKE A STUBBORN MULE….
Quite frankly I’m tired of reading your nonsensical rambling! And for Christ sake, enough with the caps! We get it! You are an angry jackass that will not contribute anything to this or any society than the crap you write here!
hahahahahahahhahahahah AT LEAST SOMEBODY’S READING MY POSTS……SIGHHHHH THATS GOOD TO KNOW…..NOW GO SOMEWHERE AND BURST LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL
ADMIN U SURE IS NOT U THAT THERE???? I LIKE TO SEE HOW YOUR MODERATION WORKS FOR SOME AND NOT FOR OTHERS…….LOLOL YOU ARE SO FUNNY IT GIVES ME PLEASURE TO KNOW THAT MY POSTINGS HURT YOUR EYESIGHT AS MUCH AS YOUR ONE SIDED MODERATION HURTS THE PEOPLE TRYING TO SPEAK UP.
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO IM SO SCARED……….THE THUMBS WILL SPEAK FOR THEIRSELF MY FRIEND…….GO AND CONTINUE TO BE FRANK, FRANK WHITE, FRANKLYN MOSES OR WHAT EVER FRANK YOU ARE HEY U MIGHT EVEN BE A HOT DOG FRANK……
It is also interesting he is blaming the UWP for what happened.HA ha
You were fired right? You did not leave. When you were taped boasting about how you eating tax payers money what was that?
he was just as corrupt as he claims the Government to be.
SOON WE WILL BE LIKE THE HATIANS WE LIKE TO LOOK DOWN ON……HUNDREDS OF US ON BOATS TRYING TO FLEE FROM THE OPPRESSION in dominica……..I MYSELF HAVE NO CONFIDENCE IN DOMINICAN PEOPLE….we have already lost
a little too late sean.u were the one enyoing it the most walking up and down the prime minister office like it was your home.enjoing trips n stippen leaving large on the same poor people sweat,u were looking down on the same poor people that was coming to see the pm with disgust and contempt locking your door to your office,because you could not stand the sight of the poor people that was coming to bother the pm.do a little more reflecing sean and before you condem the pm apologize to the d/can people for the part you played in leading d/a towards dictatorship.
Amen!
By International Standards, Julie Timothy was not a qualified Accountant to begin with. He is not a qualified Chartered Public Accountant. It was a mistake to have brought him on in the Labour Administration, to say the least. The same applies to Ambrose George – A personna non-grata. The two should be discarded by the Skerrit Government immediately.
Caribbean Change I don’t get your point. I really don’t think that having a CPA certificate is a prerequisite for the post of minister of finance. If such is the case then we have strictly donkeys in a horse race. The PM does not have a Business management degree nor any qualifications in the area of finance or accounting. I do believe however that ministers of government should have some type of managerial training. These ministers are so caught up in their pocket enlargement that I doubt they take time to read and develop their intellect and shape a professional skill for themselves. I wonder how many of these ministers spend time reading valuable material other than nabes and I or some article written by Josh Shaw. It is no surprise that most of the government ministers are so easily fooled by Tony and other self serving characters.
Keep your friends close, keep your enemy closer! Don’t you think it serves the DLP agenda to have Timothy in their pockets?
YOU ARE NOT OBLIGATED TO READ MY POSTS FRIEND. JUST LIKE I USED TO JUST SKIP OVER ANYTHING WITH YOUR NAME ON IT…… BUT IT MEANS SO MUCH TO KNOW THAT YOU TOOK THE TIME OUT OF YOUR DAY OF CONTRIBUTING TO THE GOOD OF SOCIETY TO RESPOND TO MY LOWLY AND HUMBLE COMMENTS….OHHH REMIND ME, WHERE IS THE CAPS LOCK BUTTON ON MY KEYBOARD NUH??? SO LONG I LOOKING FOR IT, BUT I CANNOT READ GOOD LIKE YOU…….
Let us be genuine. Mr Douglas I am very surprised at you. You have refused to make mention in your article that you wanted to continue to work under that same “corrupt” regime. However they could not accede to your request and had to eventually not renew your contract.
FACTS IN ALL YOU BACK SIDE.. straight from the horses’ mouth.. Thanks for coming clean Sir!!!
the question is now that the truth is being put out there what is going to be done next election? Mr. Douglas have given a great deal to think about. Dominicans please do not take what he said lightly and consider him being vengeful but listen to the truth and start making a change before its too late
You want to see corruption, go to Damascus, Syria. Dominica is as peaceful as it can be. Untroubled and Unspoilt.
All that he has said is the obvious! No need for anyone to get their knickers in a twist!
What matters is the action that should be taken! Nepotism is definitely a cause for concern, particularly when it is so blatantly expressed.
All good things eventually come to and end!
Poor Sean. He will now be critized for staying with the regime while all this was going on the one hand while he will be called sour grapes on the other.
There is no way out for Sean. That is why I say you always act according to the priciples you believe in regardless of the consequences.
RESPECT THAT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 5 MILLION TIMES OVER, RESPECT TO THAT!!!!
Not a case of sour Grapes just a case of secrecy oath lifted and u would note that sean indicated clearly ” My refusal to be an apologist for the actions of unscrupulous politicians was the underlying reason for my ‘sacking’. Even as I tried to focus the public mind on the good work of the government in many areas, I just could not, in conscience, defend the many blatant contradictions and lies. The government wanted a party political propagandist to defend corruption rather than a press secretary to disseminate information on government policies” which is what he was being one disseminating information re the work of Government while because of an oath as press secretary he had to endure all this Drama
Shawn though vague, uninteresting and precautious I applaud your effort. Maybe others will follow your lead and truly speak out for Dominica. I am however doubtful that Shawn really intended to tell it all. I am prepared to tolerate a less than sincere confession as it MAY BE that Shawn is writing a tell it all book and reserve the spicy details for the book(lol) – considering that Dominicans don’t read I’m pushing the envelope here!!!!!!!.. Essentially Shawn did not reveal anything new and worthy of awe or even attention. Everyone including Laborites know that Skerrit ,his administration and lawyers are a corrupt bunch.
I really Shawn had told us things that we don’t know off- Like why it is that Skerrit hated him so much!!!!! !- was it personal or was it professional. Shan could have at least taken a little time to highlight the vindictiveness that existed and why. Sean could have touched a bit on why Tony was so often playing the role of press secretary- tell us how you felt and how you were ostracized.
I would also understand that due to professional courtesy Shawn chose not to spill the entire bean container. After all which other government/cabinet would trust a press secretary who would turn over the table while crooked politicians are playing black jack and the poor and ignorant people are waiting for crumbs from the table.
I give thumbs up to the article but still unsure as to his intentions. I think at the end he still gave the DLP a win over the UWp for the next election however I dont agree that the country is heading towards dictatorship. Dear sir you are still angry for being fired but thanks for the information cause I had no Idea that the UWP did all that to the country.
This was a very well written article.
But here’s the truth:
– Mr. Douglas is definitely upset about losing his job
– The reason for his ousting may or not be true; we can’t take his word for it
– He benefited from the same nepotism and favoritism that he now decries
– He would never have written that type of article had he been given the job he was after
Here’s some more truth:
– The Labor Party is no longer following the vision of Rosie
– Prime Minister Skerrit enjoys a celebrity status much like the ‘personality cult’ described in Mr. Douglas’ article
– The numerous alleged underhanded dealings, transactions, and ownerships have eroded the credibility and integrity once known by the Labor Party
– Lack of transparency of key initiatives has marred the development of the country while lining the pockets of friends of the Labor party
A final dose of the truth:
– The Labor party has accomplished much during their time in office
– Dominica still has a long way to go in terms of the development of its people, infrastructure and economy
– The current government is not doing the right things to encourage economic development (the most important catalyst for sustainable national development)
– Other political entities have not presented themselves as competent alternatives to the current administration
– We need less talk and more action supported by capable individuals
Sour grapes Sean and hypocrisy. U now come forward with this litany and attacks on current labour party members, pure vengeance because of the government’s refusal to renew your contract. Sean, all these things of which u speak were not factors in the government’s decision to not retain your services. U did not get up and freely walk out on the corrupt government nor speak out against it because u were genuinely concerned. U tried your best to retain your post and had your efforts been successful, u would today continue to be at the helm of government’s press office and not a word about these allegations would be uttered by u.
Sean u must be of the belief that u are automatically entitled to a piece of the labour party and it’s government just by the virtue of your last name regardless of your performance but Sean, the labour party’s debt is to Mike and Rosie (and any other Douglas who has earned it through genuine hard work and dedicated service) they served and they sweated and they earned their respect while u just trying to catch a free ride on their achievements.
U are disgruntled, disappointed like your cousin because the labour party did not automatically place u on a pedestal but instead imposed upon u that u contribute and by the sweat of your own brow earn your place among party hierarchy.
U have now joined your cousin the former magistrate in the opposition’s campaign to bring down Skerrit and the Skerrit led government but caution, because by joining forces with the opposition u will insult the very memory of your late uncle which u hold so dear because the current opposition certainly does not represent the ideals for which he stood.
Sean u need to realize that now is not the time to be bringing down the government and this seems so uncalled for…..not everyone can eat out of one pot…everybody has there time to eat..
SEan you sound sour boy!!! I don’t believe you son. You mean to tell me you knew all this but it took you a year to finally muster up the strength to say something huh. You sound like them Republicans that the Tea Party helped kick out of the party then come back talking about Illuminati because no side wants nothing to do with yoou. Come back again.
Just wait for the day when Tony start to vomit. Nothing is impossible.
Well written article. Confession is good for the soul. Better late than never. Dominicans for the sake of generations to come take heed.
shawn my boy,do you remember you told me that i was controversial?iam glad that you are finally coming out.the labor party ill win the next election.you people do not have what it takes to remove them.dominicans are very difficult to convince.you must put the facts out there and let them think for themselves.do you know that over sixty percent of dominicans do not know what the government is doing? they do not listen to q95.contact me and i will tell you how to get rid of those people that do not clear their expense repot advances.if i was still in charge,they would be shitting in their pants.
people like you we need as civil servants.just imagine that the union boss is a member of the public service commission.how bcan an educated PRESIDET approve fhat? what popycock.wake up dominicans.what does ivor have to say and honeychurch and lambert.i am ashamed of all of you.
THANK YOU SEAN
CONTINUE TO SPEAK THE TRUTH LET THE SPIRITS OF YOUR FATHER N UNCLE REST IN PEACE GOD BLESS YOU SEAN AND MAY THE GOOD LORD GIVE YOU THE COURAGE TO SPEAK, AND SPEAK THE TRUTH.
But who is his father, nuh?
Long awaited, and I don’t think that it is a case of sour grapes. We are seeing the ills of this administration before our very eyes. All that is hidden will come to light.
SKERRIT BOY, YOUR KINGDOM FALLING!!
NO AMOUNT OF EVO-STICK COULD KEEP YOU THERE FOR EVER!!
DOMINICANS IF YOU KNOW GOD AND YOU KNOW HOW TO PRAY, PRAY WITH FAITH, LEAVE IT TO GOD AND YOU WILL SEE HIM WORK.
THE LORD WILL SHAKE THIS GOVERNMENT OUT OF OFFICE, WATCH YOU WILL SEE.
Never dig a pit for your brther or sister, when you do you always fall in.
The pit was dug by the powers that be, and when God is ready to take action who are we to oppose? Remember: God is just and fair. The Lord is our Shepard………not Skerrit!
When God is ready to dispense justice, who are we to oppose?
The Lord is our Shepard…..not man.
Free Thinker. I AM A CATHOLIC AND I PRAY EVERY TIME I GO TO CHURCH. I PRAY AT MASS AND I PRAY ON MY OWN THAT THE GOD OF JUSTICE AND LOVE WILL ACT AGAINST THIS EVIL REGIME…
AND BELIEVE ME. THERE ARE MANY MORE PRAYING AND FASTING FOR THE DEVILVERANCE OF OUR COUNTRY FROM THESE EVIL MEN AND WOMEN
CORRECTION: DELIVERANCE
Shame on u sean now u talkin bout dat wen u was enjoyin all dose expensive hotel and dinner u never talk God Bless our Prime Minister Roosevelt Skerrit
LATE IS BETTER THAN NEVER……LET US SEE WHO ELSE HAS THE COURAGE TO STAND UP AND SPEAK OUT…U STAY BEHIND UR ANONYMITY. IF U SO CONFIDENT IN YOUR GOVERNMENT WHY DONT U SHOW YOUR FACE???
Sean! Sean! Sean! St. James made it quite clear – The Tongue is the root of all evil. You are very late Sea. Birds of a feather flock together. Sour grapes Sean, no sympathy from me this time. You tooooooooooooolate my brother, I know all of that already. This is why all persons need to take an oath of secrecy – we talking to much at the wrong time. You knew all of that and becaus they release u now you talking. Shame on you sean. Once al you do not get what all u want only on the attack
THE OATH OF SECRECY IS EXACTLY WHAT GOT US HERE, DOMINICA IS NOT ONE SET OF PEOPLE OWN…..SO NO SECRETS, NOT ABOUT THE MOU NOT ABOUT NOTHING……IS SO ALLU LIKE TO GO IN DARKNESS AND PARTY LIKE THE DEVILS THAT YOU ALL ARE….HATE LIGHT.
I DON’T NORMALLY EGREE WITH 1979, BUT IF I C HIM I WILL GIVE HIM A MILLION DOLLARS… AND SANDRA SOUNDS LIKE A CATHOLIC LIKE MYSELF. I GUESS RELIGION REALLY IS NO GUARANTEE OF HEAVEN.SOME PEOPLE JUST DON’T GET IT NO MATTER HOW MUCH PRAYER BOOKS THEY HAVE
hmm…n they say they goin to put lagoon ppl in cottonhill..hmmm some crazy sh**…heart broken!!
Sean, you may very well be correct in everything you said, but you have no credibility. Had you not been fired, you would be part of the very same group, enjoying the spoils of the same corruption you now claim to despise.
When you saw the behaviour of these guys, you should have given them an ultimatum and step down if they had not mended their ways.
I am very disappointed in the content of Sean’s presentation. The bottom line is that I was expecting Sean to tell us things that we aren’t aware off. I guess I am a victim of the old cliché – “ hold expectations and prepare to be disappointed.” The public is fully aware of the mass misconduct of this present government administration. I believe that Sean has held back a lot of information however my suspicions maybe wrong as Skerrit had isolated Sean years before he was dismissed and may not have been privy to too much information.
It would have been prudent to state the manner in which Sean denounced corruption while sitting among the corrupt ones. Did Sean report on government corruption while sitting as press secretary? Did sean write news paper columns revealing the insincerities of the Skerrit administration? Did sean speak out at cabinet meetings whenever he had the chance to be at those sessions?
If Sean really wanted some credibility he should have highlighted the fact that the primary reason for his dismissal is because of personal affairs between Sean and Skerrit.
I will first express my disappointment because you enabled this behaviour for so long and now you get the boot you want to cry foul. We have always known the truth but it is not right to encourage bad behaviour until you are no longer part of it.
On the flip side, I do hope you feel much relieved by getting this burden off your chest. Hitler had his day and so will every other leader who believes in destroying others for their personal gain. There is a communist syndrome whereby people who are affected actually justify it. Take Cuba for example; even if the populace cannot buy a microwave or even change their fridge without Castro, they will defend him till death.
Until Dominicans decide to stand for their rights, people will continue to take advantage of them. All politicians are cut from the same cloth so is six of one and half a dozen of the other. On the flip side, there are some behaviours we should never tolerate and I am left to see what will be the reaction of the populace when they hear the truth from the horse’s a**.
pplll like u dat have dominica in da t position u say dominicans kno d truth …and dats how u respeonding to ….revelations made by sean ……WE ALL KNO THE ENDING TO THIS MOVIE **SCARFACE*
I would dignify this with an answer if your level of education was anywhere close to mine but your english says otherwise!!
DOMINICANSSSS ARE WEAKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK AND COWARD…….AND SO DESERVE!!!!! TO BE SLAVES IN THEIR OWN COUNTRY
1979 long gone and dream on instead of screaming. We have taken this land for the Lord. All you do is say negative things. You have not contributed anything to this forum except ‘Curses’ “Doom and Gloom” screaming at it. We bind and destroy all your curses, negatives, screaming in the Name of Jesus. Move forward 1979 , we are in 2011. No Our Father will never allow the events of 1979 to return in the Name of Jesus. Time to cleanse and repent 1979. We are moving forward next year is 2012. We learn from the past so we wont make the same mistakes.
why don;t you revail your true identiy you fool, since you are so brave.I’m pretty sure you are not Dominican.
First of all, I don’t think you’re a Dominican but even if you are, I would like you to know that you’re a moron and a nuisance.
oooooooo did i hit a nerve??? GOOOOOOODDDD
It took this guy a whole year to write this. Everything he said we have heard before. With the access you had you mean to tell me that you did not secure anything to prove these guys are corrupt. So many people talk behind their news articles and not taking action. If you have proof take it to the courts, file a petition it will start opening Dominicans eyes, people will stop and take a look. You basically Ditto what Lenox Linton Have been saying. My biggest challenge with people like Sean is they would never recognize corruption while they are gainfully employed by the corrupters. However as soon as they fired they gain fully cognitive function. Why didn’t just Resign and stand up, you would look more credible. Hey Arthie Martin did and many others did too.
Sean and many like you need to stop the BS about Rosie Douglas Memory, STOP IT. Rosie was clueless had no agenda for Dominica. Why didn’t he leave a template for Pierre Charles to follow? Was there ever a plan? He never had one Pierre had to find his way through Maze that was the Dominican government. Can some body tell me any significant thing Rosie did that is residually impacting Dominica besides a few fancy intellectually disguise speeches we can quote from. Trust me! I saw and heard this same Rosie in New York and I can tell you God know what he was doing. Sean if you evidence take it to the court. Do not take the path others have taken, Create your own path leave your trail and others will believe you.
YOU SEE WHEN I PUT MY ARMY BOOTS ON……I COMING OUT FOR ACTION……IF WE DONT FIGHT WHO WILL???? WE WAITING FOR OUR CHILDREN TO FIGHT OUR BATTLE??????????????????? WHAT WE WAITING FOR AGAIN DOMINICANS?????????????????????????
U are an idiot and u dont now the circumstances behind 1979 so stop using it as a name…call on bad for DA still, is not only labour supporters it will affect, is all of us…dam stupid idiot!
I AM A DOMINICAN JUST LIKE YOU. EVEN IF I AM A DAMN STUPID IDIOT……THIS DAMN STUPID IDIOT HAVE THE COURAGE TO STAND UP AGAINST ANY POLICE OR MILITARY THAT MAY CHOOSE TO TURN AGAINST THEIR OWN PEOPLE…..I WILL DIE BEFORE I BECOME A SLAVE LIKE YOU, WHERE WILL U BE IF IT WERE TO HAPPEN TOMORROW. HIDING UNDER YOUR CHILDRENS BED???? IT IS PROVEN THAT THE STATE CAN TURN AGAINST ITS PEOPLE.
SO STAY IN YOUR LITTLE WORLD INSIDE YOUR HEAD IF YOU AFFFFFFRAAAAAAIIIDDDDD, I REFUSE TO LIVE IN FEAR
1979, behave yourself eh boy!! When you call for violence, I hope you can stand it when it comes on your doorstep?
One thing I know is that people who are really ‘bad’ don’t talk plenty like you, they only act when they have to, so please just SHUT THE BLANK UP!!!!
We bind you the evil thought of 1979 in the Name of Jesus. We cleanse the minds of 1979 in the Name of Jesus. Lord send your holy Spirit to minister to 1979. Let clean thoughts come to his mind. From now on let 1979 speak soundly and positive making suggestion and not sreaming at the top of hi svoice. Cover 1979 with the precious blood or Jesus. Wash HIM/her clean and let him shout the name of the only one who can save. Put a new song in 1979’s mouth and let all be done for your glory and honour as only you are God and only you deserve the honour and Glory in the Name of Jesus.
So 1979 do you love your country????
sometimes i wonder if i really do……when i look around sometimes all i see is traitors and sell outs…..talking about peace….i want peace….but i want justice MOREEEEEEEEEEE
We waiting for you to get sense ‘1979’ so we can live happily together.
Nepotism? So I guess when uncle Rosie gave you a job after you hadn’t worked for ANYBODY ANYWHERE for umpteen years was not nepotism.
Hmm
“uncle Rosie” never employed Sean he was appointed by the Pierre Charles administration to stop talking nonsense…!
Just like how the Americans soon all have to learn to speak Spanish, Dominicans soon have to learn how to speak Chinese.
Buckle up – it’s going to be a rough ride…
Dominica has already been sold –
That’s a scathing attack. What’s the way forward, Sean. You didn’t make a single suggestion how to get out of this quagmire. Should the country return to UWP since Timothy is now with DLP?
It always baffles me thinking of all the cadres like McKensie Severin, Lloyd Pascal, Bernard Wilshire, among others, who left the leadership of the DLP to the DFP faction. They were certainly outplayed; psyched out!! Where are guys like Francisco Esprit and Gregory Rabess. When Gabriel Christian turned against the regime, I had a bad feeling that things would become uglier.
The way forward is not the destruction of the DLP but the restoration and empowerment of party constituency branches.The PM must understand that if he loses 8 Parl. Reps., he is out of a job. We must first restore democracy within the party and the Cabinet must govern by majority concensus otherwise we will resurrect the Democratic Labour Party. We can’t afford to be tainted with corruption and forgetting to pay our property taxes while threatening to embarrass students for not servicing their student loans.
Honourables Justina, Ambrose, Walters, Austrie, Kenneth, Ian, kalinago Rep, Castle Bruce Rep and Hon toulon, bring back sanity to the party of E.O. Leblanc, Rayland St.Luce, Mike and Rosie Douglas and Pierre Charles. Failure to act now will result in the downfall of everyone. We do not need an Arab Spring but we can do better.
If only there were eight honest people in the cabinet. If they only realise they have more power than him. If only…
allu still there talking????????????
SAY IT LIKE IT IS,WE WERE BORN IN SIN BUT IT DOSENT MEAN WE HAVE TOO DIE IN IT. SOME PEOPLE DIE WITH THERE BOOTS ON,BUT EVERY MAN HAS A CONSCIENCE SOME KILLED THEIRS,OTHER SURPRESS THEIRS.THOSE THAT TRY TO KILL THEIRS WILL BE KILLED BY IT.YOU SPEAK YOUR MIND ITS YOUR FUNDERMENTAL RIGHT,WHO DONT LIKE IT DIE. TRUTH IS OUT OF THE WINDOW FOR SOME BUT NOT FOR ALL.
No, Gerald, its “DOMINICA – WE HAVE A HUGE PROBLEM”
Sean sounds like another disgruntled politician who did not get what he wanted. Did he mention anything new from what has been circulating in the media for years? Did he reveal any information that could prove any of these allegations? After all, he was part of the government for several years so he should have the “facts”. I might be wrong, but his tirade on Skeritt’s “personality cult” seems to suggest that he may be envious of the PM. Sean, please give us the “facts” because you sound pathetic reciting Lennox’s mantra. I also believe that if there is any truth to what’s being said it would have been in Lennox’s hands a long time ago. Go join the cabal Sean I wish you all the best.
lets stop attacking sean ron,its about survival ron look at how dominica come now am under forty i have never seen dominica like this, something is not going right with that labour party. you know i wonder if the labour party in P.J time 70,s had problems like this! as a young man i dont see much of a future in dominica now i have a dgree am unemployed tell me is that development am planning to move out dominica later this year, so people sean is not the problem, sean is small fish we that have the big problems to deal with.
WE need a few more Sean Douglases in Dominica! Well done Sean! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
Sean, We need to hear your thoughts on Cousin/Brother Ian Douglas involvement in this administration. If you are so keen on giving details after one year of service to your former employer, Do you think that Ian should follow the Principle/Vision of Uncle Rosie?
Its a point of interest at this time to hear your views on Between you & ME and also your Cuz program every Monday nights. I admire your courage.
Sorry Brother, Rosie had no vision. He was no “Maurice Bishop”. GET YOUR FACTS STRAIGHT.
I have no respect for anyone who sat and endured what Sean is now describing and come tell the public what’s happening when u’ve been fired or when the grapes turn sour. If u are an honeest person u would leave once u discover that what’s going on is not what u stand for. If his contract had been renewed we would have never gotten to knoow…That’sjustmyopinin.
Sour grapes Sean and hypocrisy. U now come forward with this litany and attacks on certain current labour party members, pure vengeance because of the government’s refusal to renew your contract. Sean, all these things of which u speak were not factors in the governments decision to not retain your services. U did not get up and freely walk out on the corrupt government nor speak out against it because u genuinely cared. U tried your best to retain your post and had your efforts been successful, u would today continue to be at the helm of government’s press office and not a word about these allegations would be uttered by u.
Sean u are no doubt of the belief that u are automatically entitled to a piece of the labour party and it’s government just by the virtue of your last name regardless of your performance but Sean, the labour party’s debt is to Mike and Rosie (and any other Douglas who has earned it through genuine hard work and dedicated service) they served and they sweat and they earned their respect while u just trying to catch a free ride on their achievements.
U are disgruntled, disappointed like your cousin because the labour party did not automatically place u on a pedestal but instead imposed upon u that u contribute and by the sweat of your brow earn your place among party hierarchy.
U no doubt have now joined your cousin the former magistrate, in the opposition’s campaign to bring down Skerrit and the Skerrit led government but caution, because by joining forces with the opposition u will insult the very memory of your late uncle which u hold so dear because the current opposition certainly does not represent the ideals for which he stood.
You sing the truth and nothing but the truth, Antzy.
Sing it loud and sing it clear, so both brothers and bothers can hear.
THANKS SHAWN, I ADMIRE YOUR COURAGE.THE MOTTO of the labour party under rosie ,WAS ALL SHALL EAT.ONLY SOME IS EATING NOW. ROSIE AND perro your all bones will not wrotten for nothing.
Now they have have some haterz like parry calling rosie no leader and saying behanzin is not fit to do the job.where did that rat emerge from,stealing food from the farmers labour.
Wayyyyy! The crazies out.
Mus be full/fool moon!

This is the first of several confessions I expect to see over the coming months as those who have sand in their eyes seek to regain their vision. I am flabagasted that someone with such close (former) ties to the regime would write such a confession which appears to me to very honest and revealing. I take comfort from his boldness because his action may indeed open the door for the apologists (we know who they are) to reassess their position relative to Skerrit and ask themselves if a fistful of dollars is worth betraying their country and its democratic future to someone who is clearly intent on creating a cult of personality, as the author posits.
This is a moment in history that will be remembered, when those who could have made a difference came forward to save the commonwealth from the rapacious ambition of a selfish and unscrupulous leader. Shame on those who choose to remain silent. History will not absolve them.
THANKS MR DOUGLAS!….FRANCINE BARON ROYER NEXT
WHAT IS THE BIG CRY ABOUT,MR. LENNOX LINTON HAVE BEEN TELLING DOMINICANS THE SAME THINGS FOR YEARS AND NO ONE WAS LISTENING.I HOPE DOMINICANS WILL LISTEN NOW. LONG LIVE MR. LINTON,I AM GIVING YOU YOUR FLOWERS NOW.YOU ARE A GREAT MAN.
LENNNOOOXXXXXXX ISSS MY HEROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
ALL THE REST ARE ZEROOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Wow. This is an effective statement of opposition; It shows thought and analysis have been given priority over emotion and and blind opposition.
UWP, DFP and other opposition figures should take note.
Unlike most in the opposition in DA, Mr. Douglas you got my attention.
Really? About what? The same thing that has been alleged over and over but failed to be proven…
Sean hasn’t stated one example of any of the allegations. Zero details.
As well written as it may be… purely regurgitated ALLEGATIONS.
You said it
Salve, Regina, Mater misericordiae,
vita, dulcedo, et spes nostra, salve.
ad te clamamus exsules filii Hevae,
ad te suspiramus, gementes et flentes
in hac lacrimarum valle.
Hail, holy Queen, Mother of Mercy,
our life, our sweetness and our hope.
To thee do we cry, poor banished children of Eve;
to thee do we send up our sighs,
mourning and weeping in this valley of tears.
TANTO.. TANTO.. BY AND BY.. IN TIME TO COME.. MORE WILL COME.
in time again??????????????????? what time??? now we have to act
U Sound like someone who had ties with the PM and he kick u out.. U no better than Sean Douglas u were part of the click enjoying tax payers money, going on trips and becuz of your greed they kick you out now u cryin about repeating 1979…….
but sean is a snitch man……?
No he releasing his conscience, i believe he held it long enough, talk Sean, talk……..
Be careful about ‘releasing’ the conscience. It might get so upset it might not come back.
yea ju sayig sean snitched….hope u alive…to see skerrit fall…they trieda fire once they wont make a mistak a second time arond …..bee WARNED!!!!! I AM NOT TRYIN TO SNITCH EVER
Sean, you have gripes because you always lamented the fact that the head of GIS earned more than you did; after your trip to Washington you started comparing your circumstance to that of your equivalent in the State Department.
Sean, you know you were ineffective as a real “Press Advisor” and was only blowing hot air when you had to cover major events. Your main focus was getting enough to eat and drink and boasting about how much you consumed in the after-parties or cocktails.
You are going down the road of many before you who did not receive what they figured was their just reward for kissing ….sss. Does Capitolin and others before and after him ring a bell? Thanks but no thanks for the long exposition. But we the opposition sympathisers are just out there looking on waiting to see how many more of you “turn” and expect us to give you all sympathy. Enough said
Please Sean, manup and stop the crap. You were part of the party and deliberately lied on behalf of the party for years especially when your uncle was in the PM. You were not just apologist, you were and are an unscrupulous Joseph Goebbells. You have fallen out of favor and have been kicked because you are a Judas.
You deserve no Sympathy. ou got paid money for doing nothing. You gopt a post that you were ill prepared or qualified or trained for. You are a prime example of nepotism. Shame on you to now come and pretend you are acting honourably.
You got a lot of money, much of which should be returned to the tax payers of Dominica. Dominica is fed up of you pariahs and parasites.
Dominica is not the estate of the Douglases and the Lamberts. You are part of a family of backstabbers and traitors, of which you are the chief.
Go enjoy the money you milked Dominican taxpayers of while you can. But please spare us the phony righteous indignation. you are neither righteous on this matter and your indignation is manufactured.
All this could have been said in to paragraphs, if you omitted all the useless adjectives and trigger words to incite some reaction. The unnecessary word decoration deminished your sincerety, making you come across as a wounded soul trying passively to launch an aggressive attack. Next time if you want to be taken seriously stick to the facts forgo the embellishment.
You obviously know a ton about writing! This was a well written piece which very well did ‘incite’ your reaction based on you posting a comment.
@jane maybe u cant understand , or you dont want to understand, if u dont like something i bet u dont listen or take it seriously
Jane if you are to post a response like that then at least spell all your words correctly. It’s “diminished”.
I am an uninterested on-looker, politics is not my cup of tea, but if we put all bias aside and think for a second…. If Sean was still employed by the ruling party this article would cease to exist. If he was still employed by the government, would he not at this very moment be defending the very corruption he so vehemently decries now???
My Friend, I never said that I agreed or disagreed with Sean, all I am saying is that he could’ve relayed his message in two or less paragraphs. Then I questioned whether he would have written the same article if he was still employeed by the government. I am not a politician and I don’t trust politicians—remember Sean is a politician and he is playing politics now. Why didn’t he blow the whistle while he was employed, he was then in a better position to affect change as opposed to now. His motives are in question. I am very open-minded, but in politics I take everything with a grain of salt. If Sean was aware of all the unscrupulousactions of the government and did nothing then HE TOO is part of the problem.
Hi Jane – Not because you can’t understand the words, they are unnecessary or should I say superfluous.
KC – Unlike some folks if I do not know the meaning of a word I look it up in the Dictionary, a Great invention, or my dictionary app on my smart phone…This right there saves me from ignorance.
two, not to paragraphs.
Sincerity not “sincerety.” lol wayyyyyyyyy boy look jokes.
Jane best u shut up. everytime u write a comment u sound more stupid.
JANE THE NEXT TIME TARZAN RELEASE YOU, HE MUST NOT ALLOW YOU TO LEAVE THE FOREST.
NOW GET OUT OF CIVILIZATION AND GO BACK WHERE YOU BELONG
I commend you for your comments Sean, but I still think there is much to be disclosed to the public in detail which may seriously affect their blind support of the current government. Hopefully more people will come forward or stop supporting the blatant inappropriate behaviour of the country’s leaders.
I so agree..I was expecting more details!!!
This article brought tears to my ears. Not only for content but this is one of the best written article I have read so far. I do not know Sean Douglas but I am so proud of him for his stance and for his writing. He identified not only the goodness the party has done but he focused on its weakness also.
You mean he focussed on some of the goodness and highlighted all the weakness plus some?
Sean u too ungrateful, when u was having breakfast at fancy hotel u never complained, jealous u jealous of our pm.
boy shut your worthless rEAR END
DONALD YOU ARE AN IDIOT! GO AND PRAY THAT GOD WILL PUT SOME GREY MATTER BETWEEN YOUR EARS
I applaud you for your bravery in speaking out.I wonder if there are any other men/woman with enough integrity to speak out against the lies and deceipt.It is truly the only way this country can be what it once was.
And what was that?
You waited an entire year to tell us what we already know….but good on you for not signing to renew your contract under this regime. This government will soon realise that the people will take so much for so long before they retaliate and do worse than those who did during the riots back then. People out of work, can’t pay bills and still expect to pay for goods and services through their nose will erupt like a volcano soon. The chinese will give each of them a cup tea…do they really know what they’ll be drinking?
Hmmm interesting. Very interesting.
People have to ask themselves if this is a case of sour grapes or is this a case of easing up the conscience based on self reflection.
Educate yourselves Dominicans and decide for yourselves.
Every man has an agenda but then again there are always facts that can’t be disputed.
I personally do not support any personality in Dominica’s politics, neither do I support any particular party. I am 100% for Dominica.
So many questions, so little answers. Who in Dominica’s politics can stand up and be counted?
I watchin’ still!!!
YOU STILLLLLLLLLLLLLLL WATCHING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
WOW! That is all I have to say about this…..
Very good wording Sean, But remember the people that put him there is the same people thats gonna remove him….God never sleeps
Exactly…and when they r ready they will…just like PJ, Mamo, UWP….
Spicy!!! MORE FYAH! MORE FYAH! MORE FYAH!!!!!
No Government is meant to last forever. Everybody knows that. It is no disgrace to be out of government or to be opposition. There is a whole different, less stressful world outside of government, folks. Personally, I feel that no sane person can take more than so much of this.
ok…so where really is the broken silence? Dude haven’t released any new information… the how, the when, EVIDENCE… simply repeated another opposing opinion!
And did my ears deceive me? A Douglas making an issue of nepotism? LOL!
Oh and by the way…with all due respect to Rosie Douglas (a great man he was). Dominica must only be run the way that he wanted.. should any new Government or leader not come into their own.
MY SENTIMENTS EXCATLY. wHERE IS THE NEW INFO? YOU HAVE NOT TOLD US ANYTHING WE HAVE NOT HEARD FROM THE UWPWI AND OTHER OPPOSITION FORCES. SEAN IS THAT A ‘SOUR GRAPES’ SITUATION?
ARE YOU HOPING THAT DOMINICA WILL ‘NEVER BE THE SAME AGAIN AFTER YOUR STATEMENT’? PLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEZ SEAN, WHEEL AND COME
AGAIN, DCANS HAVE NO TIME FOR YHE LIKES OF YOU. WHO BEAT YOU, YOU CRYING?
it’s either your dumd or u jus cant read…one or maybe the two..
What is the meaning of dumd? I must be dumb!
Well said. Now Dom nican let me see what all you gonna say now. Coming from a past insider!!!
Beware dictatorship is HERE!!
If dicatorship was here you would not be here talking crap.
PEOPLE OF WAITIKUBULI;
CORRECT YOUR SONS/DAUGHTERS. THEY WILL NOT BITE YOUR EARS LATER.
SKERRIT IS AMONG MANY A MAN/WOMAN IN THIS COUNTRY THAT HAVE GROWN UP ROTTEN.
THAT IS WHY SUCH A SPIRIT IS FESTERING IN THIS NATION.ROTTING EARS REDUCE OUR HEARING POWER.
SOMEBODY PLEASE TELL US IF THERE IS ANY HOPE FOR THIS COUNTRY
You know you make a good point and you make allot of sense. of cause I am sure most Dominicans are going to say you only saying that cause of your removed from your post.But then again that’s what we have come to except form Dominicans, we put party before common sense. Any where else that a government had so many allegations against them. They would have been removed so long but Dominican. We don’t care about integrity and ethics. we care about the part or politicians we like.and whatever they do is ok with us.
Everybody have fault. If you dont want to vote for them dont vote for them. The system allows for that.
Good people are never totally good and bad people never totally bad. The greater the persons capacity is the greater his/her capacity for both good and bad.
I guess it would suit us better if we had a person of high integrity who cared two shits for the plight of the people. Then we would get them a knighhood and call them something like Lord or Lady HaHa and kiss their buttons, while our arses suffer in silence.
wow clap clap clap clap clap clap clap …….american embassy has began to refuse ….dominicans…visas ….so dominicans stick …clap clap clap bravo bravo
I don’t see where what you say, has any sticking point. For years Dominicans have been refused US visas, under all the different parties? Is there any statistical data or evidence that correlates the decline in D/ cans getting visas to Skerrit administration?
Do you have any data from the embassy that specifically tells you the reason for the decline?
We should not jump to conclusions without basis. The article Mr Douglas wrote is informative, your response however, holds no water!
wowwwwwwwww
Interesting!
you had to reflect for a year to speak the truth. we forgive you.
i waiting for the rest of skerrit cronies to come to their senses and speak the truth’ i hope you will not only speak when skerrit fall out with you but SPEAK THE TRUTH AT ALL TIME.
WAITING TO READ YOUR RESPONSE DR AARON.
AND NEXT TIME MR S DOUGLAS EXPOSE SOME OF THE STUFF YOU KNOW..
Yes, And expose some of the stuff you did.
Now..Now Sean, take it easy!!!! For years you defended these guys now don’t come crying to us for sympathy. You knew quite well what was going on but you decided to turn a blind eye to it until yr financial situation changed now you coming here acting all dignified.
We the people who as you say are not under the “Skerritt” umrella has been suffering for a while and why didn’t you try to stop this situation from within???? You would have had better luck.
Right now you are just like the rest of us ..common people crying in the wind..our voices lost, not heard or even acknowledge by yr regime.
A wise man once said: “Never piss against the wind” ….Sean you did not take that warning..now your pants are all wet.
At least now some people might actually believe…..
Is english your enemy. Where in the article did he coming crying for sympathy?
I LOVE DAT!!!
Yes it was corruption at the time. But does that make the corruption of Skerrit and the others right?
Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm. One would like to know why these utterances by Shawn is being made now? Is it a case of sour grapes. When Mr. Douglas was enjoying all the good times and he was part and parcel of them he said nothing. Do we remember the times when he traveled abroad and he boasted that he stayed in luxurious hotels and
and collected how much hundreds of dollars in per diem per day, wasn’t it corruption at the time.
You got a handle on this thing. Yea, wee!
Amen!
Sean why don’t you get a life and stop you nonsense..what all you think the LABOUR PARTY belongs to Late Rosie Douglass and Family!!
That’s what you got the article? Oh Lawd! I truly hope you don’t work at First Domestic and that is just a handle. B/C if you are, and they are hiring such half wits, then they don’t stand a chance! smh
Reader I agree with you wholeheartedly.. This second domestic gal’ has Bo understanding. Here it is facts are presented about the nodus operandi of the political pundit and she is responding negatively.
I can’t understand why these people won’t open their eyes and be more interested in the development of Country as opposed to party.
because you havent received what you deemed as necessary to your success you find it therefore relevant to down play the advances made by this government. Is there truly love for country or is it all about love for self. stop being hypocrites and parasites, do what is needed for the greater good of country and the people that inhabit it
Drink some water! Calm down! Then read the article again.
WHEN WE GET RID OF ALL PEOPLE LIKE YOU, IT WILL DO US GREATER GOOD…..DONT WORRY THE COUNTDOWN IS ALMOST OVER
WELL SAID!!!! Just another case of sour grapes
lol…trust that one to say that. When the other speak out, I wanna hear the excuse you politically ignorant people will give.
MON MON Do you have even a bone of principles in your vains? For people like you MORALITY and ETHICS is a non issue. It is because of people like you that coutnries go bag and criminal get the upper hand. you cannot be dominican. I’d suppose you would let Skerrit prostitute your children then take the proceeds to patch road. Then you would say he working hard for the country. It is people like you who are killing the spirit of our country with you own very special brand of EVIL
Thank you sir. I’ve been waiting to hear you speak.
Roseau – we have a problem!
HMMM?
ha i like that: “houston! we have a problem”
Well it took long enough for somebody to say this. It’s true, but of course many people won’t agree with it.
I wouldn’t be at all surprised if Skerrit tried to run again for a third term, which would then put his reign on Dominica up to 15 years, as well as the Labour party.
He should run again and if he wins a third time, he becomes my Franklin D. Roosevelt.
