    SOMEBODY please call the police!!! Look the Skerrit Labour Party MP’s wearing white masks instead of RED ONES that would make them look smarter than who they really are :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: . I am certain President Xi will not be happy for this blatant disregard of standard protocol.

      Mr Hey, you penned this nasty, immature, ignoramous disgusting statement, stop politicking! “Ms. Castle Bruce you have blasted the Red Clinic”. Red Clinic is abusive where a head of state cling on poor people for fame.
      This Skerrit corrupted business is an abuse on our people who are desperate for jobs and decency in their personal lives without this failed fake Skerrit have our people begging and aligned to this Red Clinic Corrupted Scam just to lure these poor struggling people and families striving to survive while they say and see that this failed Skerrit and his failed labour government are excessively happy and exceptionally well off with nice cash, while our people reduced to so called “Red Clinic” where failed Skerrit operate what is called a “Red Clinic”, where these poor mothers and families que up to receive cash, our states money, to people for personal fame, rather than offer these poor struggling people, jobs they come begging to this Satanic system created by…

    As a nurse, Ms. Kalinago is either poorly educated or doesn’t fully understand basic healthcare issues, especially the term Highly Contiguous. Ms. Stanford clearly indicated that a Covid 19 health center should be located in the Kalinago territory, in order for friends and family to visit the infected persons. The lady also indicated that farmers need additional time in their garden! No wonder Skerrit duped you. You were played, Is that the story we will be listening to for the next four years.

      When you learn to spell β€œcontagious” correctly, you may be taken serious.

          How cares what you think, Mary? Skerrit apologists are totally irrelevant as they only care for a dollar and NOTHING else!

        • April 8, 2020

          Gary, I also understand what “I so” is saying; I didn’t even read that person’s “Contiguous” I said it the way I spell it– :lol: :lol: :lol:

          Easier too, I watched the program and the poster is correct.

          These people on this comment board, they will go the edge of a precipice to find something negative to write, because it is the food of their mind.

          That is why they are so hungry for those negative rubbish which is posted here–they eat them up with their thumbs up. But how unfortunate!

      “Is so” you come?. For your information The Nurse that you have referred to is a highly, committed, experienced Nurse with years as a professional and dedicated nurse. Mr. so called “Is so”, this nurse is highly and well known in her Territory, a place I guess you may have absolutely no knowledge of. So before you go open you loud nothing mouth, do your research and attempt to share with us facts and meaningful message that we are able to comprehend, not BS talk. Stop following and listening to this fake, immature, incompetent Odd Minister Skerrit of yours. He has been this failure over 19 years and to date we have not seen any development taking place that is able to push our poor nature island and its dedicated hard working people a step much further away from this poverty, corruption in high places (Eg. The lists of Bobols are: Red Clinic, Fertiliser, Passport loyalty money all over the place). Skerrit needs to grow up and stop this devious make-up stories. Fail Skerrit must Go.

      • April 8, 2020

        @viewsexpressed, you are such a …… you don’t even know that you are making things harder for the nurse with your “highly” commendation

        I am saying that if she was as high as you are putting her, why did she not understand what being initiated at that meeting? That is what “I so” is pointing out. He/she was not talking about her “Highly” experience and popularity, according to you.

        If she had understood what was going on, she would not have made those suggestions, because she was asking for the same things that plan was against.

    While we applaud the gov’t. for its attempts to reduce and manage this viral outbreak, I would like to remind our people and the gov”t. that the precautions and declarations that have been implemented in this time of emergency, are rights that belong to the people. As we the people have been willing to accept and abide by these emergency measures, let it be made clear that upon cessation of these emergency declarations, all basic rights and freedoms espoused in our constitution must revert to the people. Be alert my fellow Dominicans. Don’t let this neighbor borrow your tool, and never bring it back!

    The Sherrie Administration is last place in every event. In fact, it is so inept that it hardly crosses the finish line. I dare the most fanatical supporter of this Oligarchy to name one transformational development that Mr. Skerrit and his twenty (20) Hard Head Harry(s) have done to set Dominica apart from the other neighboring islands. A government is as stony as the people it is comprise of. The present ruling Administration is comprised of ignorant, inarticulate, self-serving idiots.

      A change of name is an external thing, advice to you, the best change comes within, as a man thinks so he is. Do you really believe Dominica is ruled by an Oligarchy, you saying such thing does not make it so, it only shows how you are not in touch with the reality of what you see, deceiving yourself, and yes there is a reason for such thing, your political partisan beliefs and hatred for one person. As to your challenge to name one transformational development that Mr. Skerrit have done to set Dominica apart from the other neighboring islands.

      @ Ibo Francer, so why are you here, hiding behind a comment board with a cartoon name criticizing things that the Government did or did not do?

      Do you realize that PM Skerrit is a bigger, much bigger man (If you are a man) than you are, to decide to go into the open to serve his country and his people? He could lose his Life through that service

      How long have you been here, simply knocking against him and his governing body, such as: “The present ruling Administration is comprised of ignorant, inarticulate, self-serving idiots”

      I guess it makes you feel great to write that, but why are you hiding behind a false name? I know who Mr. Skerrit is and most of the men and women of his Government, who are you?

      Be a man! Be like PM Skerrit! Go to parliament; go to the Cabinet table, to plan and do the things which you think they are not doing or cannot do–otherwise, you are simply an empty barrel making too much noise.

      When you attribute the word fanatical to supporters of The Government I wonder how would you describe your shenanigan behavior with you daily bombardment, of criticism, calling people names, distorting facts and making accusations, all of which is directed to one person, isn’t that the trade make of a fanatic. I took your challenge not as a fanatical supporter of The PM nor his Government but as someone who is a proponent of bringing light to facts. To suggest that the present ruling Administration is comprised of ignorant, inarticulate, self-serving idiots, is somewhat silly on your part. Did you listen to the speech the PM gave at the UN after Hurricane Maria, does this sounds like someone who is inarticulate. When Dr. Samuel Christian had his accident and the Government came to his assistance, is this the actions of a Government of self-severing Idiots.Your antics is not helping the agenda you want to achieve.

    That mask fits the egoistic leader very well. It replaces the real Barbouchet he so rightly deserves. Hopefully that will be his new mouthpiece from here on out.

    A very interesting secession. I am very very disappointed in Mrs. Jno. Finn speech, she kept repeating herself sounding like an old washing machine, going round and round. Mr. Masculine what a waste, they are not ready.

      Man Bites Dog, woof, everyday wakes up barking louder than a dog with some disgusting, illiterate damning thoughts that he only and his weird party and failed PM pronounce themselves as politically idiotic. We have always heard that the higher the Monkey climbs the more it exposes it`s ASSets. Obviously with no values at all, just exposing damn BS and idiotic talk just to be heard to please and embrace their failed incompetent Skerrit who has now reduced himself to this Odd Minister who has killed our economy and has our people begging that he gains some happy ” We Love our PM wi” keeping us in this deep doldrum. We guess this is where they belong. Sad indeed! We need to elevate our Dominica people(NATURE Island) to “Higher Heights” of value, democracy, good governance & decency in government avoiding corruption, thievery, incompetence, obvious Bobol/deception. We had enough of Skerrit. Our people continue to suffer, begging where there are no jobs. Skerrit and corrupt DLP failed…

    DNO I thank you for informing us that it was PM Skerrit in the above photo with the mask, because I thought it was the PM’s president Charles Savarin. So I suggest that since using masks will be part of our culture for a while, we should have each person’s name printed on their mask, so no one uses a face mask to commit any crime lol
