    Two mad men are on the loose.Skerrit and Labourites built Dominica after Maria.Roads,schools,hospitals,health centers,homes,bridges,all built by Skerrit and Labourites while the lazy do nothing blue puppets were celebrating and rejoicing at Dominica’s destruction.For that UWP will NEVER win another election.All DON. KEYS can B*** till their teeth fall out,that is the reality and that is the comment DNO fear to post.As for the banana industry every smart Dominican know about Bernie Grant the British member of Parliament who visited Dominica on the invitation of Rosie Douglas.Dominicans will never forget they were fooled by UWP into not diversifying,$1 a pound.,UWP doe care if they kill their people for political power,wicked and tormented,that is why their supporters living by the hundreds,and that is why they cannot do house to house campaign.They have a dishonest history of corruption,victimisation,greed and lies and the think they can use DNO to spread lies,Dominicans are not…

      @clown.
      You fool and idiot.
      No Skerrit did not build Dominica after Maria. To this day many many people did not get one nail from tonnes and tonnes of building material. Whatever you took before coming on DNO you must stop taking it.
      Embarrassing clown.

        You have absolutely no class to say someone is jealous of Skerrit. You are shameless like Lin Clown and surely lacking ethical principles.

        Lin Clown, what are the good attributes that he has, that would cause one to be jealous of him? Man you are surely without morals and lack class, to write this unethical garbage.

    Dominica is constantly under extreme threat of Hurricane Roosevelt. He has destroyed the banana industry, small local business, the healthcare system, national security, the middle class and the economy.

    The man is the most destructive force (Category 6 hurricane) to hit Dominica.
