      You just confirmed that you are either deaf and blind, or you live abroad. There we have it.

    Skerrit and Austrie are two cartoonish jokers. They remind of Tom and Jerry, two lowly rated cartoon characters.

    How does the PM of the Commonwealth of Dominica travel on official foreign business? Does he just hop on LIAT all by himself like any other person or does Dominica give its leaders some respect on international stage and travel with entourage of security personnell?

    De meeting missing some of the biggest economies like Brazil, Chile, Columbia…..what you expect to achieve. CELAC doesn’t appear to support dw democracy movement in Cuba!
    Some leaders attend meetings to put a chip and rub shoulders……they can’t even smile at their opposition colleagues in their own parliament!
    Some leaders and their government are just self absorbed wealth seekers!
    I don’t trust what Skerrit say in Dominica parliament…..I could never trust what he says with de people he holds in higher regard than his very own parliamentary colleagues……respect is earned…all you CELAC leaders too!!!

    Mexico reported 11,711 new confirmed cases of Covid-19 and 765 deaths on Saturday. (Reuters News Agency)

    Given the the above and our own vulnerability, surely this conference could have been conducted on-line.

    To be honest we don’t see any meaningful development concept taking place in our government for our poor struggling DOMINICA and PEOPLE. This is a Skerrit Pappyshow Fanfare LABOUR GOVERNMENT on going over Five YEARS with nothing of meaningful Development taking place.
    Skerrit is again on the Go to a “SELEC” meeting. What has he/we achieved in all these meetings that he continues to attend? We just don’t know, why? Because we don’t see it.
    Our infrastructure is In a mess. Our Rural villages and people are in poverty and some level of poverty and Unemployment. We All need to know where all this RED CLINIC’ comes from and what are its Benefits?
    What a Failed Incompetent LABOUR GOVERNMENT. What an on-going FAILED Immature Visionless SKERRIT. This man must “Go to Hell…Go to Hell, you’re not our Business”
    Those were the HELL words PM announced sometime ago. These Ridiculous Childish despicable words are his. We I’ll live with him for a Long time. Our people need to move…

    With Skerrit running Dominica and Austrie second in command, what a disastrous combination for the country. One is intellectually wanting and the other rants, raves and hollers like a person of unsound mind.

    No wonder Dominica is firmly affixed to the bottom of the pile in the English-speaking Caribbean. These two leading the country are like two bats flying under the midday sun on a bright cloudless day. Totally unthinkable. No good outcomes can be had from this joint experiment.

    Here comes the same two misleaders again. One
    (a) allegedly sponsored a huge jam in Bellevue Chopin with little or no respect to covid rules and the other, what did he do?
    (b) upon returning from Venezuela (a covid hotspot), he was seen at a funeral the next day, and maybe a day after attended parliament. In his imbicilic and slow witted mind, he was jeering at opposition parliamentarians for having their masks on.
    Reasons why it’s my view that those misleaders dont care a “darn” about Covid but they are just two (double ) faced imposters, paying lip service to the disease!!!
    ELECTORAL REFORM NOW!!! Why wait on Byron to start cleaning a bloated electors list??????
