Joshua Francis responds to mounting accusations

Joshua Francis (r) with Opposition Leader, Lennox Linton

Roseau South MP and deputy leader of the opposition United Workers Party (UWP), Joshua Francis, flanked by top executive members of his party, held a press conference on Monday denying accusations leveled against him in a divorce petition filed by his wife.

“Today, my wife, through dangerous lawyers, has filed a political divorce petition which has been deliberately leaked and caused to go viral on social media. This is the works and unceasing efforts of dangerous political ‘enemies’ who used my wife’s petition as a shield to protect their own and as a sword to dishonor my name,” Francis stated.

He said the latest “unprecedented” leak and release on social media comes on the heels of the leak and release of an email purported to be authored by his wife.

“Also, my accuser’s statement in the famous case of inappropriate behavior was leaked and caused to go viral in 2016. This public parade of materials, true or fake, cannot be normal or natural! And this cannot be allowed to become the new norm…how long will the other side go to feast with the darkness of the world?,” the Roseau South MP asked.

Francis said he entered the political arena in June, 2013, and “my family was right there with me; my beautiful wife and my two blessed children are indeed the blessings of my life.”

He continued, “Today, my family is separated and my good name has been under ferocious and consistent attack. My service to our nation has resulted in profound personal losses as opposed to personal gains, just the opposite to the players on the other side.”

Francis said when he signed-up to serve the nation, he expected it to have been “tough, and demanding, but not dangerous and malicious for the wrong reasons”.

“I have been dealt with a severe bout of prosecution and persecution. I have been referred to by all manner of unclean names. Some even try to discard me with untrue legal tags even without any criminal charge ever been read to me in any part of our globe, far less for a criminal trial and/or conviction,” he complained.

“The constant malicious, unwarranted and evil attacks against me have come from all angles. The greatest plot to destroy my good name and reputation is rooted in a sexual scandal of 2016; inflamed attacks after attacks, with the most dangerous of all the attacks directed at my family to secure its disintegration by the very ones who go home to their families each day,” he lamented.

“How could you, in good conscience, preside over the destruction of my family? How could anyone gloat over the separation of my family as a victory to score political points? How could anyone rejoice when families fall apart?  Where is the soul of the Dominica Labor Party?” he asked.

He continued, “Since the famous sex Scandal of 2016, my wife and I have gone through enormous emotional, mental, and psychological pressure for which I take full responsibility; resulting in my lovely wife being ill-advised to fight against me, not realizing that such a fight is against herself and our precious children. I plead to her to publicly to reconsider her actions and inactions-for I am not the enemy.”

    And to those who gloat over a man’s downfall your turn is just waiting!
    You have children, never cry down a man, don’t want to judge people because 70% of living people have something to forgive from their lives action.

      Change to this confusion and subterfuge? Even when I am dissatisfied with someone or something in my personal life, I weigh the odds of changing. I look at all the ramifications and then decide whether to stay with the unsatisfactory situation or take my chances with a new one.

      I look at the situation and action of all sides particularly post hurricane maria and I shudder to think of what would have happened had the change occurred before that. No indication of any action that might have been taken to bring us out of that desperate situation post Maria. Same bickering and attacks and posturing. Not a hand to help one constituent, at least none publicly visible. What!

      If I am unable to assess the outcome I might take a chance and change but if all indicators are that I am likely to end up worse in the new situation I make a decision to stick with what I have. I use that reasoning for just about everything so Mr. Miss, Mrs. Austrie, thanks but no thanks.

You are thetegoreyin cloud cookie🍪land and obviously as you said of yourself, “You are out of your mind..Big Time. …”

      Surprisingly he doesn’t want these destructive social media leaks which go viral to become the new norm in our society. I suspect he is too late with his concern.

      Mr. Francis, you seem to be a decent person at heart, ask yourself honestly, who started it and are perpetuating it? Remember documents/emails from Ambrose George’s office? Remember tapped phone calls from the Prime Minister’s Office? Remember a report of the Labour commissioner on social media before it even reached the addressee? Remember the contents of a meeting between the Police commissioner and his senior personnel on security matters out in the public probably before the meeting was ended? Remember all the hype with supposedly leaked e-mails in the villa saga?

      Did it bother your conscience then? Did you consider that this was not a norm in which you would want your blessed children to grow up? Did you seek to address it? I’m sorry you have fallen victim but these people have blessed children too!

    The morale of the story is that, Please keep private matters personal and do not bring to the public`s forum. It is not helpful nor accommodating for anyone, although it may appear transparent. Matters of the home and the family are subject to a high level of privacy especially as one of the couple is in public life and the other is basically not. There needs to be recognised invisible line protecting these politicians and other public people as they endure public life. And this goes for the Prime Minister the Leader of the Opposition and other parliamentary members. We may not like the performance of Skerrit, but due respect must be given to that office, his personal life and family. And even as we see the decency in the Hon Leader of the Opposition, he too needs his family space and privacy, likewise Parliamentary members. Skerrit has failed. We know that he has defaulted in many ways and he has been a very poor Prime Minister, then we go to the polls and we kick him out. He must Go.

    “The Prime Minster of Dominica, Hon, Roosevelt Skerrit offered me money, license to sell passports, and legal work from bank/s to compromise my integrity, in exchange to join the dark forces in politics, but I rejected all. At some point I was given an ultimatum by someone of greatest importance in my life, “me or politics,” and I stood for you the people. I was not for sale and will never be for sale!” He took his time to write, Joshua i am putting it to you that this statement is FALSE, YOU WERE NEVER OFFERED MONEY, NOR LICENSE NOR LEGAL WORK!!!!!

    I will say and continue to say that we must be careful when we are airing these things to be careful when it comes to not implicate the victims and family members. I said the same with all others. That said, I am very very disappointed in Mr. Francis for what he did. I now understand why he supported Mr. Blackmoore; which again I do not know it is true because of the lack of evidence that the accusers fail to present with a lawyer, knowing that he had this on his plate. Mr. Francis, you should not have made this public, I always say what is made public will be subjected to all types of scrutiny, judgments, and comments, and Mr. Francis, you have thrown the mother of your children to the wolves. Your cries for public support in a very private matter will backfire on you for this. I am done with the politics of personal attacks. It is outright disgusting and to think this man brought it on his own family.

  11. Ibo France
    January 16, 2019

    Most of the spurious allegations against MP Francis are coming to the fore now to deviate the heat from Blackmore’s sordid affairs. This stratagem is bound to fail. This regime only hope of survival is to wrestle in the mud. Instead of making the contest a battle of ideas, it’s a contest of the lowest denominator. You can easily tell whether a country is progressing or retrogressing. In Dominica, most people are sinking below the poverty line than ever before. They are unable to keep their heads above the surface of the water. They are drowning in debts, hardship and poverty. Where are the jobs that offer a livable wage? People’s eater and electricity are being cut because of their inability to pay. This concoction of a government is a bad nightmare. This is a government where the ministers offer the young men rum and boast about it. This government that attracts scandals and shady characters to the shores of Dominica.

    So, you mean to tell me, people were condemning Blackmoore just a few days ago with little to no evidence but now they are all supporting Joshua and stand by him, praying for him. The same thing happened with when it was the case of him and Ian. All of a sudden too much politics and politics in everything. All sort of excuses is flying out from the bag. Now the ball is in their court they have switched coats. SMH No one was interested in this man’s divorce until he made it public through this press conference. He, in one breath, said he loves his wife and wants his family back, but in the same breath claims he chose politics over his family because for the people plus is basically implying that his wife is lying because he denied all the claims. He held a whole press conference to make excuses and gain sympathy (practical lawyer move) but not wise especially when you’re evidently wrong, you’re lying to try to be the good guy but incriminate his wife. Come better

    Joshua should never call press conference with Judas smiling at his side where he knows he might not telling the truth. There are three sides to every story his, his wife and the truth. I hope that Joshua did not do more damages to himself when the truth comes out. Remember we have sisters, daughter and mothers.

    Mr. Joshua Sir, I think that you have made matters worse for yourself, and embarrassing your wife, by coming here to plead with her to take you back as her husband, for that is all you did here, in that you said nothing that is new to us..

    But what is it, with Linton standing on your side with that smile on his face? That smile is telling the world that he is not sad about your situation, and the two of you look like the blind and the deaf,; the blind saying to the deaf: “Do you see what I hear?” Why on earth does he have to be standing there with you?

    You know all of that in the quote above is baloney talk; if your wife want to divorce you that’s a matter between you and her!

    There must be a reason for a divorce!

    Divorce is not a big deal these days; the simplest form is be filing on the grounds of irreconcilable differences: ” irreconcilable ” (impossible to  reconcile);once that is done there is nothing more to go into a court and argue. If there are assets  such as Real Estate to be divided; anything  that was acquired  during the marriage must be divided fifty-fifty; even money in a bank account, if there is one dollar in the account each person gets fifty cents!

    Anything the person acquired prior to the marriage remains their personal property.  Where children are involved one may retain full custody, the other parent must have visitation rights, unless it is otherwise determined.

    I don’t know what dangerous lawyers he is talking about when they all in Dominica are the same; they have each other back!

    I do not understand what Skerrit has to do with it. Allegedly the man cheated on his wife and that in itself can bring about the demise of a relationship. Not sure why he would bring his personal matter to the masses and attempt to make it look political, and why is Lennox Linton smiling when the man is pouring his heart out. There is something fundamentally wrong with this picture
    This is a new politics in Dominica. This is truly embarrassing

If I have ever been astounded by the brazenness of the UWP leadership and seeming supporters it is now!

    Why on earth would the same people who publicly denounced and humiliated Joshua Francis by calling him unmentionable names and trying him in their own court be now sitting at his side helping him to further humiliate himself? He was obviously an inconvenience at the time, nothing in my opinion to do with concern about child sexual abuse.

    All the leaking and damaging allegations put out on social media about other people never seemed to disturb the consciences of some contributors to this site now they are trying to convince even themselves of what they are writing here! No man, this takes the cake!

I see someone talking about spurious allegations coming to the fore to detract from Blackmore’s “alleged” misdemeanours. He or she is so mired in the usual one-eyed judgemental view of the other side that he or she has become delusional to the point of accusing the man’s wife of spurious allegations.

    Skerritt is on record on more than one occasion lamenting that there is too much politics in Dominica and what this does to the social fabric. I am waiting to hear from Skerritt soon lending his voice once again to tone down the level of gutter and destructive politics which destroys personal relationships irrespective who it is. This is what above board leadership is supposed to do, that is to rise up like cream on milk and seize the moment. Mr. Francis, I feel your pain and empathize with you as someone who was married and then went through a divorce. Though it’s bitter now, doctor time heals and what doesn’t kill us will make us stronger. I’m a stronger person and a happier person. There is a saying that if you love a bird don’t keep it caged but set it free and if it’s meant for you it will come back to you. Your love you expressed will sustain and jettison you to heights you can’t imagine now. As a good man only good will come to you. One love, keep trudging on to success.

    • January 15, 2019

      I share Jonathan’s sentiments. Only those who have been through a divorce know how cruel the process can be – far more cruel and difficult to cope with than death – especially for the children of the marriage. All too often the children are used as pawns and a means of inflicting pain. And all too often, a lawyer capitalizes on the situation and makes a difficult situation even worse.

    The DLP is well versed in politics of personal destruction. It’s de facto leader, the Senior Counsel, is superbly adept at this. The corrupt DLP operatives have an appetite to see people humiliated, diminished with unfounded and far-fetched attacks on their character. These cooks always look to profiteer from invented scandals. They have no strategic or viable plans to lift the country out of its present economic black hole. They, therefore, solely rely on the demonization of the character of decent people to hang on to power. This too shall pass, Mr. Francis, and you will be re-elected with a greater margin of votes. Do not worry Joshua, the D-Deception L-Lies P-Propaganda party will go up in figurative flames.

        Lowest minimum wage – Highest poverty level
        Lowest standard of living – Highest joblessness

    I don’t know the circumstances surrounding Mr Francis and his family so I will not give my judgement. However, as a person governed by God’s word, I feel the following passage is a guide to all who seen to lead us, not only in church but in public life as well as. 1 Tim 3:2 “Now the overseer is to be above reproach, faithful to his wife, temperate, self- controlled, respectable, ….” In light of the above passage I must say that to I have lost respect for Mr. Francis and therefore he should take some time to deal with his family first. Having said that I let me also say that I am disgusted with those government ministers whose names are on the block, in all kinds of sex scandal like male dogs. The cabinet is not a dog house. Why is the PM not holding anyone to high esteem? Am I to take it to mean that he too is living in a glasshouse?

The DLP immorality starts from the top and trickles-down to all the puppets in his cabal. Clean your house before you see faults in someone else’s house. Hypocrites!!

    Seriously, I read the divorce court petition….. and from the time I read where Joshua’s wife mentioned the vandalism which took place in town on 7th Feb 2017, I KNEW IT WAS A POLITICAL SLAP FROM SKERRIT & Co.
    so i just ignored and dismissed it….. its a simple political plot to try hit Joshua…..BUT HE IS NOT LOSING SUPPORT!!!!

      So are you saying that the PM used his voodoo to cast a spell on Joshua’s wife to have her file such a petition. Do you people hear yourselves? You chastise one man on rumors but are willing to go to hell and back to defend another. The divorce paper is a public records that anyone, including a child in high school can get for $5.00. So this crap about Labour released information is just that…crap.

    Well said Josh…
    You forgot to tell them that Roseau South will remain in it’s blue bag, signed, sealed and delivered to you after the 2019 general election…

      I love and support Hon. Joshua Francis but at this time he is not fit for office. He needs to humbly go home and take care of his house before he takes care of the parliament. Dominica is in a very sad state and we need Hon men and women, with good report to help restore our country. In my opinion Skerrit, McIntyre, Blackmore, St. Jeanne, Joshua Francis and Spags John, should all resign or be fired from our office. I want to see married men and women that are honest, faithful, well respected and above reproach in our parliament. I am not by any means judging Mr. Joshua Francis but based on his press conference yesterday I feel he needs to get his family affair together and then come again because I feel he has a lot to offer the nation.

        He who has no sin cast the first stone. Nelson Mandela was a prisoner yet became the leader of South Africa. If you are looking for saints to be politicians go look under a rock. Better yet go look in the mirror.

        You Evangelists are absolutely in no position to get involved in the personal matters of others. Who the Hell are you to intimidate young educated people who are Visionary in their thoughts as they nature. Give advice but do not interrupt their thoughts and development. That is pychological interference. Gods Blessings 🙏 and Guidance.
        Go clean up your own home 🏠🥺 and backdoor and have respect for people and their rights just like you would want that right for yourself and your family and stop your fake religious beliefs and practices and allow these children to grow up decency and don’t force children, women, boys and men with your outdated discriminatary brutal thoughts. Your thoughts and behaviour are outdated, disrespectful and you’re advised to go clean up your house 🏡 and thoughts and allow growing up mature intelligent young people plot Thier own lives in God’s name and grace. It s their fundamental Rights. Leave them alone.
        Blessings ☺️

    Let’s put it this way, if Skerrit and Co. had only a shred of evidence they would have used by now and Joshua would have been dragged before court. However in the absence of said evidence they try and get to him in spreading vicious rumours. All this are the usual dirty politics by the new DLP enacted by its corrupt leader. If they are morally all that why don’t they speak to their friend Blackmoore and tell him to get his house in order. In other words, Francis is squeaky clean but Blackmoore is not and all you labourites know it. It’s really time now for this evil good for nothing regime to go!!!

      I would like you to explain what particular case regarding sherd evidence you are referring to Joshua, alleging The PM would use to drag him to court. It was my intention to refrain from commenting on Joshua’s ordeal pertaining to his marital problems, simply because I’m not privy to know the personal and private affairs in his household and it would be irrational to make a judgment based on what is said in the public arena by one party of the Marriage, but when you said, quote “Francis is squeaky clean but Blackmoore is not and all you Labourites know it ” I had to reply to your comment. How do you know Francis is squeaky clean, were you privy to the private and personal affairs taking place at his home. As to you proclaiming Blackmoore guilt, where is the evidence to suggest that such alleged crime took place. How can you have an alleged crime committed without a victim coming forward. Evil does not disappear by what you think and believe with your ludicrous mindset.

        Listen, I’m not in the habit to get involved with people that either support Skerrit, his ministers or another operative of the DLP with their corrupt behaviour. Suffice to say, do a google search for ‘masinthecemetery’ and have a good read. This evidence is about to be made public. This site should be a real eye opener for the likes of you!

        Masinthe cemetery seems to be true to its name. Dead bones and dirt, the modus operandus.

        I am sure as the night follows the day that one or two people will one day feel the pain of having their character dragged through the mud by an enemy which they are unable to identify and challenge.

        For all who are enjoying the discomfort of others accused by people who don’t have the courage to show their faces, things have a way of coming round. When we would have satisfied our sadistic desires to destroy people, we will reap a whirlwind harvest of the fruits of our perverted behaviour.

        Young people are going to know nothing more than the mauvais lang upon which we fed them. Human life is going to become meaningless to them and we have begun to see the callous cold blooded killing already surfacing.

        Older and more vulnerable people will be objects to be preyed upon with the verbal ridicule we heap on them as they seek help. etc. etc. Guess who will have to deal with it?

      I keep praying that one day you people will exhibit some kind of rational behaviour which will encourage fence sitters or even those on the other side to get even a slight inclination to be sympathetic to your views and methods of operation. My prayer continues to go unanswered.

      What does Skerrit have to do with evidence in this situation? Are you in a position to say that the man’s wife, the daughter of two prominent lawyers is spreading vicious rumours about a person with whom she took vows in church and has borne children?

      Why don’t you all try to assist the young man, a nice person at heart to turn his life around instead of encouraging him to make a spectacle of himself yet again? it is almost as if you read a different story from what I read and everywhere the man’s wife made a point, the name Skerrit was substituted.

      The has now reached ridiculous proportions.
