    I get it. It is a way to give the Crown the middle finger. Who best to send but this absolute clown? I understand the mission. Great choice. But if you were being serious Mr. PM, better you had send Sukie and Ridge because they would have been much better choices than Joseph Isaac. Waw. Even Sour Sour is a better choice. At least they represent Dominica with all their hearts. Man like Joseph Isaac represents Dominica with all his pocket.

    Not too often i agree with the actions of the gov of the day. The selection of JI is the best way to insult the monarchy that represents white supremacy. Send the most despicable individual from the kleptocracy. He represents the the perfect chamber maid and the British white privileged family should have non better.

    They better make sure he is invited; if the Elizabeth grandson, Harry, and his wife Megan was uninvited to certain activity, who the hell is this Dominica disoriented rat Issac?
    So, you see something is wrong, if there was an invitation, that would have to go to the head of the government Roosevelt Skerrit; and not some so called Speaker of House.
    If Roosevelt was invited and refuse to attend it is because he fear his corruption is catching up with him; and fear getting captured by the FBI, INTERPOL, or New Scotland Yard!

        If I was illiterate, I would have a different response to your diatribe; you are constantly vulgar and bitter; if you had any commonsense you would know that to attend a funeral, such as that of any Monarchy, just about any nobody like Isaac cannot be a lone representative of a country.

        Let me tell you something boy; the way this labor party government ministers gets to thief out of the treasury is by using tactics as this. For your information King Charles has long met with the invited Heads of Governments selected from Commonwealth countries including Jamaica: and be advised I did not see any head of government from the Eastern Caribbean in attendance, not even Antigua where the Monarchy is represented by a Governor!
        So, as for this lie that Issac is going to the funeral of Elizabeth, is as fake as Roosevelt bogus bits of papers on which the words “doctor is written.”
        If a government delegation was invited from Dominica anybody might be in that company, not a single crook!

      lbo that guy might be given an opportunity to go to England with his pocket filed with money from out of the treasury; but the purpose is not to attend the queen funeral as an official head of state from Dominica.

      Remember a head of State has to be invited, so why not the prime minister of Dominica, rather the speaker of the house. Something seems cynical about that. Labor Party clown are so ignorant believe Roosevelt send condolences to the Royal family on his Facebook page, as if some member of the Royal family perhaps King Charles will visit Roosevelt page to read his crap.
      Fortunately, the way it works is they have a condolence book, and every invited dignitary ” head of states,” or country, such as President Biden, will sign their names in that book of condolences, which will ultimately become part of British history when the death and burial of Elizabeth is reviewed!
      Not in a thousand years you’ll find a nobody name Issac signed that book of condolences.

    Royal waste of money!!! Shows that regardless of all the talk we are still enslaved. Why should homage be paid to the head of an organization that supported all types of atrocities against black people for the past 70 years. As the show continues Caribbean leaders continue to shower Elizabeth with praises easily forgetting the many crimes committed by the Empire under her leadership. Caribbean people must wake up and release the chains from their minds.

      “supported all types of atrocities against black people for the past 70 years.”

      How old are you, and where have you been; how many classes in history have you taken, how much do you know about British colonialism?
      “The Sun never set on the British Empire;” even the great United States of America was a colony of England; no need to tell you the British and other colonizing powers enslaved Black people for more than four hundred years.
      Seventy years is an under statement!
      We were enslaved for the same amount of years as the Jews were enslaved in Egypt!
      Slavery was abolished in Dominica in the year 1834 making Dominica become the first and only British Caribbean colony to have a black control legislature in the 19th century.
      Dominica became independent in 1978; it’s been 144 years since slavery in Dominica, under colonialism, now we have new economic slave masters headed by Roosevelt Skerrit, black economic slavery is the worst form of Slavery; that’s what is in Dominica!

    This obnoxious, vile turncoat representing Dominica in London? Surely, this is a new low. Dominica has certainly hit rock bottom.

    On hearing that modern day Judas is the one chosen to represent the country in the UK, I’m convinced that most citizens, at home and abroad, cowered in embarrassment Another black eye to Dominica’s already badly bruised image.

      Maybe the Speaker is there to collect a swag bag of passport cash or highly sensitive papers now that the international police have the usual bag man and his master on their radar The Speaker have no record and travels on a diplomatic passport and in all the traffic of vips London may get away with it. You think I’m joking but nothing is beyond these guys and the Speaker is dispensable and can easily be replaced, trust me.

      Roosevelt is not scared to attend the queen’s funeral service. He is just jetlagged from all his global travels.

      I’m sure the world’s most travelled tourist has racked up over 1M frequent flyer miles for this present year. The only place he has not flown to as yet is Antarctica.

      Back to Judas Isaac who couldn’t even manage a simple bakery business. The man is a blatantly opportunistic hypocrite. He is being rewarded for his unwavering, loyal lapdog-like devotion and fondness of Roosevelt.

    As a Dominican living in the U.K. I feel offended by this slight. First of all, was he invited because the other heads of State are attending by invitation only and not even the President of China has that privilege. Joseph Isaac is not our head of state and at least I would have expected Charles Savarin to be here. In any case, we do have a High Commissioner in London to represent our country. What is her job? It looks like one of these wedding parties back home where people invite themselves and bring bags to take home some goodies. I do feel embarrassed by this and think Roosevelt Skerrit is behind this because J.I. would not even pass wind without his blessing.

      Exactly my sentiments, something is out of wack here!
      If indeed some from Dominica was to be invited, it would have to be Roosevelt Skerrit, if Dominica was simple an independent country with the queen being head of State, there would be a governor representing the queen on the island therefore the invitation would be extended to him/her.
      then he/she could have invited an entourage, if allowed to do so, then a rat, a nobody like Issac might have got to slip in the backdoor!
      But, you know Dominica corrupted Roosevelt Skerrit his puppets, and regime are guaranteed to screw themselves and everything up!

      That SOB might be going to England, but he is not going to the Queens funeral; when they travel, they extract hundreds of thousand of dollars from the treasury, they steal it, that’s another of so called Dominica ministers and others getting rich out of the government treasury.
      This is his turn to cut a gigantic piece of the Dominica pie!

        And if Skerrit had attended the Queen’s funeral, you would have had something bad to say. If Charles Savarin had attended, you would have had something bad to say also. For that matter, if anybody from the cabinet had attended, you would have had something bad to say. My best advice to you Telemakak is to shut up your mouth and go rest your old bones somewhere out there. Nothing pleases you UWP bums.

          Devils son (ds), indeed if the corrupted crook Roosevelt Skerrit was invited to attended the burial ceremonies, I Telemakak (monkey) would have the sense to question how many hundreds of thousands of dollars he would have taken out of the treasury; and how much he would account for on his return?
          You know they extract, they claim they paid hundreds of thousands in hotel bill; they return without a receipt nor change.
          Remember Patrick John took jail for three ($3.00) dollars you know!

          I would asked Roosevelt to show me his precept: he would have told me to “mind your damn business” ‘that is my damn business’ and that means Roosevelt crooked business.
          In any event if the British Government invited anybody from the government to attend the funeral, it might be Savarin head of State, and government Roosevelt Skerrit, not a no name nobody Isaac, you are too dumb to know that, but you see this monkey here perhaps knows too little, monkey doh know anything eh!
