PM Skerrit sues Linton, Q95

From left: Linton, Skerrit, Astaphan

Prime Minster Roosevelt Skerrit has filed a lawsuit against Opposition leader Lennox Linton and radio station Q95 on the grounds of slander, libel, and aggravated damages, and is asking for a “significant amount in damages,” according to his Senior Counsel, Tony Astaphan.

The lawsuit was filed on Wednesday, February 8th at the High Court where Linton was named the first defendant and radio station Q95 (West Indies Communications Enterprises Ltd.) as the second defendant.

Astaphan told state-owned DBS Radio that the lawsuit is as a result of statements made by Linton in various interviews, articles and at the recent public meeting.

“The Prime Minister has repeatedly maintained that the allegations made against him by Lennox Linton and others that he was selling diplomatic passports or siphoning off money from the CBI program were, have been, and are completely and absolutely false,” Astaphan said.

He added that Linton will be given the chance to provide information that justifies the allegations that he has made against the Prime Minister.

“He has had several occasions to present the evidence and has failed to provide the evidence, whether it’s to Huffington Post, whether is to the parliament, whether is to the public accounts committee, whether it’s on Q95,” he said.

Astaphan also stated that the lawsuit demands a “significant amount in damages” because of Linton’s “arrogance, defiance, and ignorance in propagating these allegations on the Prime Minister.”

“They have caused damage to the country simply because Thompson Fontaine and Gabriel Christian and others are hell-bent on circulating them in the regional and international blogs, and are giving misinformation and allegations to individuals with various blogs to smear the country and to smear the Prime Minister,” Astaphan stated.

He also informed that this matter is “case one” and letters will be written to the various television stations about their live broadcasts.

“The reason why we are going to be writing these letters and taking against Fontaine and Christian and maybe others, is that individuals and institutions and persons in the media, including Q95, have to understand that they have a responsibility to ensure that their media is not being used inadvertently, intentionally or negligently. As I said to you last weekend and I say to you today, enough is enough,” Astaphan remarked.

    If You are a counsel what ever level and you doing your Passport bZ-ness with the help of family say your sister represent ‘s you and your sister has her peeps selling passports full time unannounced as an agent.
    The peeps stays home and does sales for your sister whose only apparent source of income is her husband how does your sister’s employee explain the house she built? No wonder you as a counsel will be the chief spokes person for the Ruler in Hiroona!
    This is the end Skerrit is currently in his home LI- NY giving directives as I type. Thompson was arrested this afternoon. When I hear who are the lawyers representing Thompson one in particular who in the 90’s with the UWP sold his fair share of Passports. I have to state we are done as a nation. Corruption is deeeeeeep in DA if I had my way I would arrest/imprison all the players.
    Currently ,we cannot say whose house, car , bank account is legit. Everyone seem to be one comes.

      Even if they sold their fair share of passports during the 90’s under the UWP? Those dryland pirates the Neo-DLP gang who invaded the authentic DLP .Made it clear to all and sundry to hell with all their predecessors they are not going to leave office poor. We heard them but did not understood that statement. These guys are approaching billionaire status in some regards.
      Check this joke from the former finance minister $1 salary Minister, He said at Fort Young sometime ago. he visited Lebanon and met a gentle man who was well off but being Lebanese could not travel as much as he would like more so 4 his kids to visit the west. De $1 minister said that’s when the need for his support for the CBI -program hit him. LMAO ( for S1 former minister).
      He meant to say that’s when he realized he could make some serious$ to replace DCP cash cow for him.

    This is not a game, these people contribute little to nothing and yet cause major chaos, distribution, disturbance and disenfranchisement in the country, all for political gain at the expense of the country’s standing in the world at a time when that is Dominica’s collateral to move forward. whomever is paying that certain person to Destry Dominica’s name will have to cough up money to pay the government back! which will in turn allow authorities to trace their money when they’re found guilty and lead to the root of the problem.

    The world is a beautiful place and it has it’s ways of punishing people who don’t respect it.Dominica belong to the people. If you are successful is for the people and if you lose is the people. All I can see is hatred ‘spiteful and jealousy ‘this is what was used to crucify the CHRIST. In Dominica the people believe in freebees. If they had to make a contribution to comment on news on line. rather than come up with fresh ideas and make suggestions they give each other maypwee.The government comes and goes but the Island is always there. Leading the people of Dominica is almost impossible. Manners and respect that’s all is needed

    Why is it that the UWP leadership have all been embroiled with the courts and or scandals of dishonest behaviour?
    Edison James began his political career with an egregious slander and libel of the sitting Prime Minister Dame Eugenia Charles and had to pay $80,000 plus by way of compensation to Miss Charles. Earl Williams fled the state with hundreds of thousands of dollars of clients’ monies. Lennox Linton has had to pay hundreds of thousands of dollars in compensation to Keiron Pinard Burns for slander and libel and is facing other suits in the courts. Thompson Fontaine is before the court for libel and slander. There is also the DAAS land controversy in which he is the chief suspect. Danny Lugay was charged with issuing threats against members of the Integrity Commission. Hector John has been charged with rioting and his matter is before the court. Etc. And the other Fontaine from LaPlaine, Jason who has been convicted here and overseas and served jail sentences their rising star.

    SWIFT on its way from Greece was arrested in the waters of Phu Yen Province, south-central Vietnam by the Vietnamese Coast Guard 3 months ago. It is charged with carrying an illegal cargo of 4348 tons of gasoline, without respective documents. SWIFT is now held in Xuan Dai Bay, Phu Yen. It is reported that the illegal fuel may be of ISIS (terrorist) origin and 18 of its crew have been held.

    Dr. Skerrit, your explanation please?

    The prime minister should be ashamed of himself, , he should take a talk with the prime minister of St Vincent to know how to build up the country. St Vincent in the process of opening their new airport and Dominica is still behind. So many years he is in office we should have a better airport. We New Yorkers have to struggle to get to Dominica and pay high airline fees to get to the country, because we do not have an airport. All the smaller islands are improving and Dominica is left back.

    • Just Passing Through
      February 10, 2017

      Newyork another blame that should fall squarely on the UWP. Like St. Vincent got help to build their Airport; Dominica was also getting help from the Americans and the UWP told the Americans they didn’t want them to come and help us to build one. The Opposition in St. Vincent I suppose welcomed the help from their benefactors. That is the difference.

      All non-supporters of the UWP and most supporters of the UWP know it. You do not have to take my word for it. Ask any honest UWPites to tell you the truth. I am sure there are still some that care for Dominica.

      The UWP believes in destroying our economy not building it. See why they believe the only way to get into government again is by illegal means?

      Dominicans have a long memory.

    This claim by Astaphan and his team should be thrown out of the Court for abuse of process. Linton should counter claim for Skerritt allegations that Linton and his party planned a coup against the Government inferring that Linton wanted to create havoc in the nation.

    The OECS bar should contemplate disbarring Astaphan for his constant disgraceful malpractice as Counsel and complete incompetence.

    If the PM of Dominica is not Hon. Roosevelt Skerrit, then He (The PM) has all the honest right to institute legal proceedings against Mr. Linton, who is the Hon. Leader of the Opposition Government for defamation of character, blah , blah, blah.

    Since so much research has been put into this news piece and there are so many citations insinuating that there has been, and probably still having a mail order system of selling passports, and the use of the Dominica FLAGS on fuel tankers etc, etc, someone needs to answer some questions.

    Al in all, we are simply asking for TRANSPARENCY.

    The beauty about the passport (scandal) is that if WI DJUN PENG was not born in Dominica, (PENG – not being a Dominican last name) then someone needs to explain how PENG is in possession of a Dominica passport. And that is all that is requested. Then someone needs to say what happened to the $250000 that PENG paid into the (Treasury) for his passport. Its called Audit Trail on a simple transaction.

    Linton if the pm selling dominica passport why no caribbean leader supporting you? if the pm selling caricom passport why no Caricom Leader supporting you? because the PM to powerful? Our prime minister is selling Caricom national passport to all kinds of criminals but no Caricom leader wants to speak to Lennox and his gang. I wonder why..hmmmm

    i would expect the Caricom leaders to support since after all the criminals going to have access to a lot of benefits in the caricom countries. so the other leaders don’t care if criminals invade their countries because of our PM…lemme guess because he is to powerful?

    You went to American but didn’t go to the Caricom…why? if the PM selling passports for everybody the Caricom is in more danger than USA. Because even though we sell a passport we still need a visa to go America. You really think America care about our PM. a man that have no army, no weapons of mass destruction, no tankers, no fighter jets, no technology , no money etc.

      Which democratic Leader would condone what Lennox did and encouraged his supporters to do, including their comments on this Website? They would be foolish to condone Lennox. They know he is a troublemaker and want nothing to do with him.

        The truth is right in front of you and still you join the choir of your PM ” blame Linton ” and for all the blogs that’s out there for all to read about Skerrit and passport selling ” let’s blame Linton”, that’s so ridiculous . Linton is not the person that’s bringing Skerrit down he is doing a good job of that and then he have Tony Astaphan who is pulling his chain,. You want to help your PM see the light convince him to drop Tony as his legal council but he cannot do that for fair of what Tony will do. How do you think the Iranian guy got a Dominica passport to be able to live in Dominica . Did you ask the PM why he moved out of Mount Daniel area and why the Chinese moved into the area, there is so much truth in your face but all you believe is Linton that do it so blame him .

You really think Alireza Monfared would invite Skeritt to the Billionaire party?

    These guys was using a lot of Governments and even Skeritt got played. You want me to believe Skeritt is deep in UN oil selling to unsanctioned countries and he haven\’t run yet? You trying to tell me they have caught everybody involve in this unsanctioned oil story MULTI-BILLIONAIRES, High ranking UN officials etc. and they afraid to come for Skeritt…You really think Skeritt have more power than the these people.

    Monfared had many many passports not just Dominca. Skeritt is a little fish compared to these guys.

      Who would support Lennox? I would assume only his attorney who stands to gain much from representing and defending him.

You accuse the Prime Minister of an crimes against the UN and Money Laundering, Theft etc. Now is time to go to court. All Dominicans want to run their mouth.

    So long you saying government though want case to call. But they always suing you.

      Hello and good morning my people. Hi don’t get carried away because it’s a very simple issue and the Prime Minister should have the answer to a simple question that Mr Linton asked. Please tell us how many Passports that were sold, to whom and the amount of funds generated. Why a Canadian Bank is refusing to release Twenty Million Dollars of the CBI funds . The Prime Minister is also the Finance Minister therefore he should know about our country finance,ect, Taxes collected, Loans,Grants and Foreign Aid .

      • DDAY
        February 14, 2017

        Linton is also the PAC Public Accounts Committee leader he has all access to Government accounts as the opposition leader. Every month the Gazette has all the information as it relates to passport sales.

        Canadian Bank is refusing to release ..lmaoooooo.dread u must be the biggest fool. Banks don’t seize funds unless they have strong case of Laundering very Strong and even then seizing the funds is a procedure.

        If they suspect money is laundered funds they simply don’t take it on Entry. In the event its an online transactions it gets sent back especially if its a wire. so tell Linton Explain.

        Remember his audience is not only Illiterates like you. Educate yourself on these matters and people wouldn’t tell you nonsense.

    Hello and good morning my people. Well Mr Prime Minister just remember you will be crossed examined while under Oath by Mr Linton Attorney and he will asked you if your administration sold Dominica Passports. Then they will asked you how many, to whom they were sold and how much each passport cost. They will asked you what you did with the funds generated from the sale of our passports and who in your administration benefited financially. Also can you tell the nation in which bank the funds are kept or is it part of the general treasury funds. Just remember it’s difficult to tell a perfect lie so be prepared to be on the stand for three or more days.

Yes I did accused the Government of Dominica of selling our passports under the CBI program and that certain individual was arrested for violating the United Nation sanctions and for money laundering. He will then asked the Court to have the Prime Minister provide to the Court the name of everyone who participated in the CBI program and to show the Court the businesses they established in Dominica.

    I wish everyone could read my comments.

    Today a news personality asked me what’s happening to my country and for the first time I felt so ashamed to be called Dominican. I do not care for politics on either side. What I do care about is the damage that is being done. This stuff is all over the international news and I do not understand why the ignorant souls think that they are doing the country any good with the promotion of this craziness. NEGATIVE PUBLICITY IS NOT WHAT DOMINICA NEEDS.

    I am so taken aback with the level of ignorance coming from so many persons. My goodness…if you are uneducated, keep quiet. If you are educated speak, but speak positive things. Truly a man’s words are a reflection of himself. The world is reading what you write and you should care. Try to build up rather than break down.

    With that said, I also know that the ‘end times’ is near (keep up with world news). I believe that everything that happens, happens for a reason and it’s part of the process.

    • The Truth Be Told

      I am still proud to be a D/can. Why? Another reason is because I have done no harm to anyone in Dominica. As the saying, I stand tall and proud.
      Every country in the world has its problems and against evildoers. If someone asked me about what is occurring in Dominica, I will simply state, “There are troublemakers in D/ca and no country is devoid of them.”
      The process is also, either salvation or condemnation. Christians are to stand up for good and not for evil.
      God rewards the good and punishes the wicked. He will not reward anyone for doing evil and harming others. OK! You should know that.

A part from the CBS interview with Linton, what other international news media are you talking about, blogs and online commodity news outlets are not classified as international news media organizations.Why do you want to keep the uneducated quiet, are they not human beings and part of society, are they to be used only on polling day, demonstrations and political gatherings to satisfy politicians agenda, such thing is called exploitation.

      As to the educated, start with your self, guess you would be considered an educated person. What you have written, can you say that this is a positive message to your fellow Dominicans.What end times are you referring to, are you a preacher. Yes, everything happens for a reason to teach us something, it’s nature’s way of imparting knowledge and understanding to us.

      If you are ashamed to identify yourself as a Dominican, that is your choice and yours alone–the majority of Dominicans are proud of the country, because they love her; but we are furious with those who are trying their to break her down–that is what you should be concerned about –you are the one who needs to be quiet; for you are making things sound worse not better.

    This political fight stinks of foreign involvement. It’s a common practice for many large countries to pray on small ones by inciting government overthrows either with truth or fabrications. The other rout is to get your country in so much debt that you are forced to do what the powers that be tell you. Find out the truth about the CBI sales and where the money went but be careful how you proceed because my bet is that much of this is smoke and mirrors. You have a beautiful country with happy and inviting people don’t tear yourselves down with hate and violence only to be used a pawns.

      While we must stand up for our rights, what Linton did was uncalled for and by no means justified. It was not his right to consistently tarnish the PM’s name publicly and all over the world, including Dominica’s name. He has done great harm to himself, to Dominica and its nationals. There are discreet and dignified ways of handling one’s concern, whether they are angry or not. Lennox needs to learn good communication skills and how to interact and get along with others.
      If he is a Christian, he should know God’s Ten Commandments, one of which is:
      The Eighth Commandment – Thou Shalt Not Bear False Witness Against Thy Neighbor.
      Christians know our neighbor is any human being.

      • February 12, 2017

        Linton is by no means a Christian, other wise his mentality would not be so dark, evil, and wicked.

        A Christian is someone who demonstrates Light to his or her environment, City, Country, or the World for that matter–this Light is seen in their ways of Love; Lennox Linton is not capable of doing that

    1. A society where the Government employs and pays the salary of over 80% of the working class.
    2. A society where the press is intimidated and thereby silenced by lawsuits from the government
    3. A society where the general population lives in fear of the police. A force that does nothing to rain in the actions of their officers. Where officers go about expecting law abiding citizens to fear them.
    4. A Caribbean country represented in the winter Olympics by individuals in possession of Dominican passports.
    5. A country where the people are blinded by a less than 15 mile stretch of freshly paved stretch of road right before elections.

    If I was Mr. Linton, I would not pay neither Skeritt nor Tony any attention. What does them fellers expect to gain from all the law suits that are being thrown at Mr. Linton and the UWP. Its either to shut him up, or get him more popular. Mr. Linton is approximately sixty seven years old, judging on cases such as those of Thompson Fontaine, G. O. N. Emanuel, previously, Lennox Linton, the UWP, to name a few which has been sitting in the courts for years, by the time this present case and appeals come around, Mr. Linton, if still alive,will be in his eighties. Skeritt himself might be in his seventies. We will have a new generation of Dominicans. I dont believe this new generation will be interesting in listening to two old men fighting each other in court about who said what about each other. I wondered whether they will be physically fit to climb the steps of the courts. All these sues are merely a distraction and tryng to gather sympathy from his DLP base.

I will tell you what is at stake in this lawsuit,to find the truth, and to know who is dishonest deceiving a populace. isn’t that what you want, here is the opportunity for the country to know the truth and you are shying away from it, what a shame.How can you say such a lawsuit is an attempt to shut Linton up, was Kieron Pinard – Byrne lawsuit an attempt to shut Linton up.

      Why the ludicrous assumptions regarding the prolongation of the the lawsuit before it comes to a trial date.There is something called a legacy, wouldn’t
      that be good knowing The PM left office with a legacy of honesty and integrity.Time is a precious thing, but the truth is more precious than time.

Roosevelt Skerrit is the chief accounting officer of the Government and he should be held accountable for every thing that is done wrong. what is strange to me Skerrit does not want any body to speak about the wrong things that are taking place inside the government, any body who open their mouth and speak out will be threaten or Tony Astaphan will file a law suit or he will used the police to silence you. I am afraid that with all what is going on Dominica will soon become a “STATE OF BLOOD” under this oppressive regime. Know for a fact Skerrit that will not stop us.

    Mr. PM, As an educator to you as a former educator, I am imploring you not to go in that direction. Please do not take any decision that will represent itself as an attack on freedom of speech, one of the most fundamental pinnacles of the democratic process. Your advisors have led you to this point, and you should return to the person you were, the person you have been before being negatively influenced by people who do not hold the same disposition you had as a young man. In politics you should expected to be attacked and criticized. But if you as the PM undertake this path towards litigation, then how different would you be from those you criticize? What do you expect to benefit by engaging in this law suit? It would serve to even divide the country more that it already has been polarized. Are you going to walk above the fray, or walk in the same platform of those you criticize.

    I am a Dominican who’s been living in the US for over 20 years. I don’t know much about the laws in Dominica so maybe someone can help me out. Can the citizens of Dominica file a lawsuit against the prime minister to give an account for the money received from the sale of passports? Can the citizens of DA even sue the prime minister? If so, why has there not been a lawsuit brought forth yet? Is it because the citizens can’t afford the lawyers, or is it because of fear of reprisal? It seems to me that Dominican citizens should have an advocate to protect their interests.

    • The Truth Be Told
      February 10, 2017

      People have rights. There are Dominicans who are not interested in that. Their mind is not low, negative and suspicious. Should they be suspicious and even talk about it, they prefer leaving it up to time and God.
      Whenever people file a claim, it is imperative that they produce evidence. You cannot go before the Court and say, I suspect and the likes, for the case will be thrown out of Court.
      You must have concrete evidence to corroborate your suspicion that the defense cannot argue about. Courts do not operate on feelings and suspicions.
      Those who file a claim and lose must pay the Court and defendant’s costs.
      There are times people should see no evil, hear no evil and speak no evil. If it harms no one, they could pretend that they know nothing and pray to God. In time, “Everything works for good to those who love God.” Holy Scripture. In other words, it is better to leave well alone and live a peaceful life. God takes care of everything in His time.

    I’m a tourist. This is my opinion:
    Dominica is a beautiful country with people of beautiful hearts. But look at who the government allies itself with: China, Cuba, Venezuela – all the corrupt countries. Cheap, low-quality products and service. They should ally with the successful countries (US, Europe).

    Learn from Spain! They didn’t have much to offer except the beauty of their country, so they became the best service-oriented countey im the world. Dominica could boom with tourism under the right leadership. Tourism can be a primary source of national income, and that could be invested into fuether tourism and your future generations. Instead the government charges 4x% tax on imported goods to pay government. In other words, indirectly taxing its own citizens because it cant find better ways for growth.

      We in Canada have many products, made in China. Walmart is a store which also sells them. They are cheaper and Canadians prefer them. Some of them are good. Local products are more expensive and not always better.
      Our computers, keyboard, etc., are made in China.
      For some years, our phone, internet and TV Providers outsourced to foreign countries. Our government allowed it. When I found out I wrote my MP about it; a lengthy letter too and about loss of Canadian jobs.
      You have no idea how my blood boils when I call a Provider and find out I am speaking to someone in India, Manila, Costa Rica and San Salvador. I try to be patient.
      If the US and other countries as Europe helped the islands as D/ca, these countries would not be helping it.
      You must also understand that a previous government vied for Statehood and Independence when D/ca was nowhere ready to be independent.

He likes praise and cannot seem to take criticism and his members feeds that ego.

      dissident, today in the US a News Anchor said that the Vice President had to cast a vote so the the Attorney General could be confirmed because apparently some members including some Republicans voted against him because there was a tie and what does that say of the slim victory he asked his guest. He answered the Atty General will still be called the Attorney General because that is what he now is regardless.

      My point is the UWP under Linton got 3 additional seats good; however; in the end the UWP still lost 4 elections in a row. He was not there to win 3 seats he was there to win the elections. The PM and DLP won.

    Here’s the thing,I’m no fan of Lennox Linton and the first time I voted it was for labour about 22 years ago. However, Dominicans can’t shoot the messenger . Just because some of us attention fans of Lennox Linton it doesn’t mean that we have to hate the message he’s sending to Skerrit.

    Lennox Linton has highlighted some very pertinent issues which Skerrit must answer to and must enlighten the population on. Personally i don’t expect him to and as far as Dominicans are concerned especially the public sector,as long as they are getting paid and t their bellies are full then Dominica is nice and everything is kosher.

    Skerrit says that the opposition tried to overthrow him on Tuesday,utter nonsense. I shall however predict this. If ever the PM is unable to pay civil servants and the 1500 and counting on the NEP payroll his demise from Hero to Zero will be accelerated. So the PM likely demise is to come from hungry bellies amnd not any political party

      Lennox has been sued more than once and he still has not learnt a lesson.
      Lennox is interested in opposing the government at every turn and encouraging his supporters as you to do likewise.
      What has Lennox done for the people of Marigot since he was elected? He is too busy scrutinizing the PM and making malicious statements about him.

    • The Truth Be Told (Original)
      February 9, 2017

      Lennox should know his financial means and responsibility. A sensible person in his position would keep his bold mouth shut.
      Lennox is an adult and UWP opposition leader. Surely, he should know better about what to say. There are some things people can say and do and some they should not. You do not make accusations against the PM for all to hear all over the world with the intention of tarnishing his name. What would it profit Lennox to do such a thing?
      We know he hates the PM. Let him pay for his bad-mind and mouth.
      Lennox did that because he knows he has supporters on his side. He feels he will win all Court cases and one day be the PM. Let his supporters who prod him on pay for his case. If he is unable to pay for it, he should be imprisoned.
      Lennox should be given: The Serenity Prayer:
      O God, grant me the serenity
      To accept the things I cannot change
      Courage to change the things I can
      And the wisdom to know the difference
      Amen!

Freedom of speech and expression has nothing to do with libel, slander, obscenity, incitement and/or fighting words. The lawsuit will once and for all either prove double L right or prove RS right. In order for this lawsuit to move forward, there has to be full disclosure of all the aspects of the CBI and the issuance/sale of Diplomatic Passport. While there is no question that there have been some questionable characters who may be, or were, in possession of Diplomatic Passports, the folks stating that those passports were sold, have not brought any concrete proof of such allegations. Now will be the time for double LL to bring forth the evidence if he possess such, or shut up about this once and for all so that the country can beginning to heal from this divisive rhetoric.

        Does that means that because one is a public figure, persons can slander his/her name and get away with it? How many times have Lennox Linton made public claims and could not provide proof? For an experienced Journalist as he is, he should know that making claims against someone’s name without ample proof is a case of libel, which is a serious offense. Mr. Linton doesn’t learn, because he continues to find himself in the same problems over and over and over again. While an opposition should fight for the people, and ensure that the sitting government does right by the people, it is not license to make unsubstantiated claimed that are damaging to one’s character and good name, even the Prime Minister.

        There is a process for getting into power, and that is by the ballot. Mr. Linton failed there miserably, so he needs to show himself a much better and improved person if he wants to ever hold the sit of Prime Minister. To date, it seems like he has been doing the total opposite.

      Really, you forgot it was lawyer and Pm and their surrogates who said Linton was lying about the Bin Bobol and Fertilizer Bobol…..?
      They, including Astaphan were caught wit their pants down. The rigged the states funds in raising a b rubbish bin from US$2.00 to over 1000% Price. they said it was a mistake papa. these guys have a very long history of questionable deeds, only a new government can investigate, that is why they are scared of Hon Linton….and Hon Fontaine and the UWP decent crew.

    What happen to Freedom of Speech? Is Dominica a Communist Nation now.. World take note. Because it looks like its only officials that have the right to do and say as they please and no one should add their opinion or provide an educated/ rational stans on things because these folks are God. What all you looking for you all will get because all those that are for you meaning the labour party shall soon have their breaking point and turn on you all sorry souls.

      There’s a difference between freedom of speech and slander .freedom if speech doesn’t mean that you maliciously defame someone’s character

        Where did he defame, is the PM suing CNN, that man or the news outlets that made the reports base on facts? You can’t defame or talk malicious about someone where its facts pal. Fact check that… The thing with you all brain washed folks in Dominica that up the PM behind and singing for you all daily labour bread is that you all are so norm to the corruption you all can’t even think straight. I looking from the outside and seeing all the glaring aspects of being and it hurts my heart to see how foolish of followers you people are to this PM. See Haiti a few years ago when they kick out that president (Jean-Bertrand Aristide) and he had to run to Africa or where ever. Watch the PM pockets fat he is the one that can go places off the CBI and all the other investments his pocketing on behalf of you all so call Dominican. When de country COLAY let me see if you all will still be sing PM name. Nuff said

      Oh, now you know the words “freedom of speech?” Look up the meaning of slander and libel also. You can speak, but make sure you have the evidence to back it up.

        “Facts is facts”? Really? Facts can be back up by proof, which we are yet to see. More talk does not make it a fact.

      What happen to libel and slander? Is it because democracy reigns in Dominica that the so called dictator of a Communist Nation permits an active opposition to bombard him with accusations twenty-four hours a day and seven days a week for the past ten years?
      It is self appointed people like you who has become Skerrit accusers, judge and jury in your UWP court James explained to the public. You tried to close your arguments with a failed invasion of the Financial like the D-Day invasion of Normandy in WWII.
      Now the PM has taken the matter to the court all you crying foul. Stop acting ignorant and be confident like me that the court will reveal the truth and your leader be exulted. Sorry soul you have arrived at breaking point.

        So why then does Skerrit not proceed with his suits against Thomson and Linton. Why did he settle out of court with Matt Peltier?
