To hell with the UK. We love our PM. The West is falling. The East is rising. We still have China and Russia and they provide visa free entry for Dominican citizens. So when one door closes, another open. Thank you to our lovely PM we getting housing all over Dominica, our China Friendship Hospital, our roads and highways are built, our international airport is being built. Soon we will have seaports, more hotels, and factories. They vex because Dominica not depending on them. They vex because our foot in oil. They vex because we love our PM. Tell these hungry English men to will and come again. And we have our queen Baroness Scotland, head of the Commonwealth who will speak on our behalf to King Charles who is a friend of our PM so soon the ban on us Dominican will be lifted. Our PM has links you know…
Traitors,traitors,traitors opposition UWP traitors.The UK is in serious problems looking for black house n….. to use as scapegoats,and they have found UWP in Dominica.The UK promised not to expand NATO after the fall of the Soviet Union,they lied.Today hundreds of thousands of people are dying in Ukraine because of the lies of the UK.Every honest,normal and right thinking person will know,the only country in the world where people celebrate the destruction of their country is UWP.In Trinidad the stands are empty,no commentator talk about a bad economy.In Dominica,a big headed,big mouth,black house ni…. Jacka talking about economy.He does not say the house he lives in was built with money stolen from the government treasury.(Awaiting moderation)Dominica will anywhere and to anybody who will make money available to build $250,000 $300,000 and $400,000 houses and appartments for those who cannot afford.
This man is an arrogant piece of horse manure. He even attempts to put a positive on something he and only he messed up big time. Now how about accounting properly for the proceeds of CBI. only waffle we get again…
This is just another stage-managed performance in an attempt to “pull a fast one” and pull the wool over the eyes of unsuspecting Dominicans, the boot lickers and ring kissers. The disclaimer comes early: climate change, global health challenges, hostile world economy etc. Then comes the cliches: strongest economy in the region, good cricketers, blah! blah !blah. In all of this, it will be observed that the countenance of the man does not mirror the words of his mouth. If he has the most robust due diligence process ever, yet the British Home Office is saying that the visa restrictions are due to concerns over CBI, then its obvious that his due diligence has some serious negligence. It needs a reset.
As usual, plenty of propaganda and pie in the sky. As far as Dominican passports in the hand of criminals, as expected, no fault of his or the issuing agents. He makes us believe that Dominica exercises the toughest ‘due diligence tests’. So why did the UK take this step?? The man has form, the man is a serial liar. The man is a liability to all of us and our beautiful country.
This guy is so annoying and looks so foolish. Speech-communication 101 teaches you that appearance must convey the mode of the message and mood of your audience. You are addressing your nation when they now have to find hundreds of British pounds if they need to travel to the UK to visit their relatives, but you have this huge retarded grin on your face. Garçon you taking people for margee, but tanto tanto.
World boss got everything under control.I say connect with the Dominican people in the uk .give them to incentives to return to rivernica because they are the missing pieces of Dominica .
Seriously unimpressive. Depressing. This is a sad attempt to cover his asteroid. You messed up and you know it. We know it too and we’re not buying your excuses.
Maybe this is the beginning of a trend. If so this dreadful CBI cash-grab will wither away.
Apparently we do not have enough pride and dignity to develop our country by hard work and prudent investment, we chose rather to sell our birthright, like Esau. Maybe the pottage is about to end, what are we going to do? Unfortunately it’s the middle class and poor who will feel it. Where there is no vision the people perish.
Very well said! We should use our ingenuity and our human and natural resources to eek out a good standard of living for ourselves. The dependence of selling our patrimony to sustain ourselves is unsustainable.
Instead this man eat humble pie, be penitent, own up to his indiscretions and excesses, and immediately put plans in place to calm the rough seas, he is arrogantly reading from a prepared script, trying to feint bravado and trivialize what has just transpired concerning the CBI scheme.
He has put the country in peril but he will never admit to this truth. StarBoy is still trying to persuade his credulous parasites that all is well in Dominica. Not even remotely true.
No man will make a great leader who wants to do it all himself, or to get all the credit for doing it. StarBoy has not only has to go but has to go NOW!
This StarBoy, remember, is the same who has rescued Dominica from perilous times…weather-related, misfortune, or man-made. Remember that infamous attempt by the long-discarded former UPWwee Leader of the Opposition to torpedo our CBI programme in his interview with CBS? What was the result of that? That leader is now in the yard. Never got anywhere near the seat of power and…drumroll…the CBI grew even stronger. So, give me StarBoy Skerrit any day because he has proven to be indeed OUR StarBoy, yours as well.
Yet you made Dominica and yourself a fool at the recent caricom meeting. You could not respond to a question , but then again you had no knowledge of the subject.
Typical. Lots of broad speaking and not much specifics!!!
Move aside Skerrit… you sound like expired goods….
