PHOTO OF THE DAY: Portsmouth leadership at stake?

Photo submitted by ‘305 Goon’

I think this image will be well suited as image for the day in regards to the leadership situation in Portsmouth, where Ian Douglas was asked to resign by Councilor Ashton Riviere, the mayor of Portsmouth putting out a disclaimer, and all the questions surrounding this fiasco.

Photographers – novice, amateur or professional – in Dominica are asked to submit photos, photographer credit and caption to [email protected] for consideration for the Photo of the Day feature, daily on dominicanewsonline.com or news.dm.

Submissions can be accompanied by a brief profile and contact information of the photographer. Submissions will be published in the order they were received.

Photos must be taken of Dominicans and things Dominican. Note that submissions advertising any form of business or business activity will not be published.

Dominica News Online also encourages the submission of a variety of photos, ranging from nature shots, people shots, weird shots, interesting human interest shots, and anything ‘newsy’

    A great Douglas deserves another I say Behinzen for Portsmouth – just that he may not be able to be in the same labour Party but his uncle and his father did break away from the main Labour party in the late 70’s early 80’s when PJ and OJ just like Skerrit was forming the FOOL l with the masses and taking them for granted – fellars like PJ, OJ and now Skerrit like to ride on the backs of the masses and once they get where they want the ‘M’ in masses becomes very silent and the people become just that.

    So Behinzen that may be your chance because Dominica is crying for honest, bold, transparent, respectable, honorable and strong leadership; step up to the plate my comrade and challenge your cousin and his cohorts who are leading Portsmouth and by extension Dominica into total decadence; Please do not look for support from Parry Bellot, Charlo and Maynard and the rest of that disgracefull bunch because what they fought against in the times of PJ and OJ and Leo Austin they now rolling in it – I will not call the name of the animal that loves the mud…….; but their behavior is equivalent shame!!
    ah Parry ah the pope Maynard ; ah Alvin Knight and so on what a disgrace; By the way the Flip floppers!! I here that is the name of their carnival band . You all brought down PJ and OJ for less than that – but Labad always used to say TIME WILL TELL..

    I also think Ian Douglas Should resign
    the man is a none issue in Portsmouth
    I really don’t see how he’s gonna impact the future of the town of Portsmouth with the unemployment
    and the drug crisis that seems to plague the town and it youth

    If it wasn’t for the prime minister this town would have not voted at all for this man,
    it’s been an out cry for years now.
    we have not received any representation from this man more less it seems to me it’s more like a blame game between Ian Douglas and the prime minister for the poor and non existing representation
    We have young peoples that are willing to take up the concerns of the town to the next level,
    so that they could be heard in the right forum but the peoples who could influence the decision makers of our country.
    I hope that this man hears clearly the voice of the peoples and adhere to it
    We have given him his chances, and he has failed us over and over now it time for a more proactive person to come on board

      so the Pm decides who you want to represent you town , that good for all you , so now we know that next time you would vote wisely don’t you think.
