Opposition Leader Lennox Linton has responded to statements made by Prime Minister Roosevelt Skerrit who on Monday night during an address to the nation called on the United Workers Party (UWP) and its leaders to put an end to the lawlessness in the country.
Linton said during a press conference held at the Prevo Cinemall on Tuesday that Roosevelt Skerrit’s attack on the people’s right to free and fair elections and his unrelenting assault on the constitutional law and good governance have provoked the people to resist, protest and demonstrate as they stand up for Dominica.”
He contends that the people of Marigot who he says have been “oppressed and abused, hated and denigrated and denied of their fair share of national resources from the Skerrit administration for 20 years,” were provoked into resistance.
“What happened in Marigot yesterday (Monday, Dec 2) didn’t start yesterday,” Linton stated. “For years since the DLP went into what is called the upgrade of the Melville Hall Airport more than 10 years ago, that problem remains and has not been corrected.”
He said no people anywhere else in Dominica have been so patient and more understanding and tolerant than the people of Marigot.
Linton stated further that the UWP is a party of peace and advocates peace, however, justice is also part of its modus operandi, ” it also informs how we operate and the people of Marigot are standing for issues of justice that need to be addressed.”
He said the justice issues for the people of Marigot are clear and need to be addressed “before we start talking about anything about peace,” adding that the UWP support peace in Marigot and everywhere else in Dominica, “but I support justice first.”
“When people stand for rights and justice, I don’t have a moral obligation to be talking about peace because I have been long enough in this world to know there really cannot have any peace without justice,” Linton declared.
Meantime, he said the UWP will contest the 2019 General Election which is due on Friday 6th December in order to protect the public interest against dictatorship in Dominica.
While yr supporters burning down the country we drinking our Challand boisson san alcol. We red, red,red and we’re READY St. Joe, are you READY? yes we are.
So you’re saying Caricom, RSS the court system and the police force have all convened to keep you out of power? …Have you and your supporters ever considered that just maybe the majority of Dominicans just DO NOT WANT YOU?!?!
Linton, when you encourage that kind of behaviour means your weak, sick and WICKED. The English man MODUR you, he said ” all what you have will TURN into DUST.” I Danziger say that same fire will FALL back on you, it will TORMENT YOU UNTIL NO PEACE CONTINUE. You all play with fire, well fire go BURN YOU ALL ce toute.
Truth be told: thanks for your comments. Unfortunately, they seem superficial and may not have been well thought out.
From your discourse, You seem to be claiming that the protest has no basis and there is no reason for the people to behave in that manner.
Common sense tells us that the protests are the effect not the cause. The cause can be easily realized by listening to the people. What do they want? What are they asking for? What did the combined observer mission ask for?
If you are able to honestly answer those questions you would understand the cause of the protest. I leave it up to you to face the mirror and honestly answer the questions
The request by the protesters does not benefit Mr. Linton, all it does it gives both himself and Dr. Skerrit an equal chance of winning a free, fair and transparent election. Why are Dr. Skerrit and his acolytes refusing to grant voter ID cards and a sanitized voters list? Do they have something to gain by maintaining the status quo?
Linton, you are an idiot. I would never vote for you now.
Chief Idiotic, blind, Professor with idiotic academic letters after his name, like the old people ay that “The Kettle is telling the pot that it is black”. Citizen smith, what you wrote there above has no morale meaning, or message in it. We all know the difference between Skerrit and hon Linton. Hon Linton is a at8re, well versed, well read intellectual, compare this to your failed Skerrit who survives because of this nefarious blind clowns who surround him, baby sit him, breast feed him and teach him as he goes his “ABC…letters. Hope get the picture. We up here at the Financial Centre, see and know immature Skerrit very well. He depends on others to keep him going and basically is in beff because he is not up to the standard of intellectual to that of our decent Hon. Linton and his trusted highly professional UWPTeam
Skerrit has a bunch of misfits’ who support him with nonsense talk that makes no sense. It`s pretty obvious that Skerrit is desperate and a failure. He Goes…
Linton as well as well as Skerritt are to be blamed for this madness taking place in Dominica. They are both thieves! They are both unscrupulous and shady! One is currently taking advantage of Dominica while the other desires his turn to do the same! I wouldn’t destroy my country for these type of characters. NEVER!
I’m sorry, but you sound uneducated. How could you judge someone as being a thief who has not stolen? You have declared that Mr. Linton is a thief on the basis that in your opinion he is awaiting his turn to steal. You cannot judge him based on the standards of the present Prime Minister….that is simply silly and unfair to him. You need to come up with a more objective argument than that. You’re talking pure fouchette.
Based on the Aljazeera documentary I came to that conclusion! If they (the politicians: Linton included) were not outed and if Labour loses the elections, Linton would have taken his cut and diplomatic passports would have been issued! They (Linton and Skerrit) are crooked!
This is the worse comment I have read on DNO for the year. What BS, what ignoramous, Who the hell is this 2the Crow”. Well, you are in the wrong place trying to crow loud nonsensical thoughts with absolutely no meaning or structure. Shame on you. Now to attempt to compare failed Skerrit to Intelligent, intellectual Hon Linton makes you that blind weird bat. You out of touch
“Linton as well as well as Skerrit are to be blamed for this madness taking place in Dominica. They are both thieves! They are both unscrupulous and shady! One is currently taking advantage of Dominica while the other desires his turn to do the same! I wouldn’t destroy my country for these type of characters. NEVER!” Mr Blind Crow, please do not attempt to bond failed Skerrit with our Hon. Decent, well versed Hon Linton. Linton has with him intelligent people who he refers to for advice and support.
Skerrit has weird fake Bobolistic people around him who has taken him to the gutters with mepuis. Skerrit has…
No, this is the fault of our Spiritual leaders who chose to be “politically right, rather than spiritually wise” Also our Christian Brothers and sisters who have spent the last couple months fighting against each other on social media, instead of praying. Search your conscience Pastors, and brothers, sisters, what has happened to you? The enemy is having a party, it’s time to Wake up, look around you, Repent, Pray!
Real Oxymoron talk. Read what you have written, and check if it makes sense.
You penned this nonsense”: “One is currently taking advantage of Dominica while the other desires his turn to do the same!”, The former openly represents Skerrits and the latter is an attempt to say something that does not exist. It is ok and beneficial to undertake this. The desire to be leader of this ailing and failed Dominica under this failed Skerrit and his corrupted Labour Government.
We highly welcome Hon Lennox Linton and his highly professional UWP Team Dominica. God bless our dedicated, committed, professional, decent and intellectual Hon. Linton. We await him to be Our sitting Prime Minister. God guide and protect Hon Lennox Linton.
My people, be open, be brave, lets embrace our Dominica and take it over from this failed Corru0ted Skerrit and this corru0ted failed Labour government who has failed us and our Dominica. The Bobolistic attitude must go. Red Clinic, abuse of our people. UWP we…
Even Skerritt ‘s deputy, even if the constitution does not call for a deputy not did the people vote for a ticket with Prime Minister and deputy, said that the people of Marigot, Salisbury and Wesley were discriminated against. The sad thing is that in stead of ending the discrimination it continues to this day. This is lawless and cannot be allowed to stand. The resources of the country belong to all the people, not to those who vote for the ruling party. Twenty years of this abuse is certainly lawless.
Jonathan u arose? Is this the only thing u can say? With all u say why can’t u condemn the protest destroying what was built. But Jonathan your party winning on Friday 14 seats. Would winners behave that way? Stop lamenting 20 years of abuse since your party will win Friday. Winners do not behave this way only losers. Here u – the people of Marigot, Wesley & Salisbury were discriminated against. Say in what way. Marigot got helped after Maria. Wesley too & also Salisbury 2. where are u in the Diaspora hating one person the PM. Come down see for yourself. Then u can talk. Are u a leader or follower? Do u just believe the lies spread without proving 4 yourself. I saw u before as a man of Integrity but no longer. You all are inciting those who did not go to University like u , using them to get 2 where u guys want. Time 2 repent of your hateful/jealous attitudes. PM has not done u guys anything. Vote 4 who u want but respect authority. What goes around comes around.
The truth is this person know not of the truth, foe example the blatant corruption and Bobol under thi fake, failed, immature Skerrit. Where have you been in the past 19 years to see an immature, incompetent Labour government reduced our people to begging in poverty and Skerrit and his failed government killed our banana industry and our farmers hardly produce anymore. The only thing that is being produced and shamefully abused is our passports, sold to weird nefarious wanted people all over to be Ambassadors to prephenate us that we know not of. This is where you and others should have focus. Hon Linton is not our issue, he`s an exceptional man. Skerrit is this visible failure with too may questions to be asked of our states resources. Stop defending Skerro. Hon. Linton is prominent.
Be reminded of the Bobols initiated NOT by Hon Linton, but your failed friend Skerrit and where were you to advise him to stop on the following: 1. Bin Bobol 2. Fertilizer Bobol 3. Red Clinic Bobol.
I am not sure how you understand English and if you even think of what you about to write before you do it. You write and write and write and at the end of it all you have said nothing, just like your leader Lenox Linton who went to Switzerland with Edison James to negotiate the 3million they got for passports, just like how Lenox lied to Dominicans about the layout river hotel and got sued. Why don’t you tell us about the two Boats that UWP bought in their term of office that has not yet made it to Dominica, what gives you all the impression that lenox is smart, if he was he would have approached this whole situation differently and come out the winner, Power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely. Finally what you sow is what you reap notice how quiet laborites are, my word to you is still waters run deep.
Total BS coming from Linton!!!! If it can be shown that the residents of Marigot has a history of exhibiting this type of protest i could understand. This is a mad man who is desperate for power to become prime minister of a notion… It is bad when a person in power becomes desperate but catastrophic when a desperate person attains power… The acts of violent and aggressive demonstrations are purely to intimidate.
UWP seems to have a good slate of candidates but is in need of a leader.
Alvin, I would say Total BS coming from you. Do you recall the following after many years. Our Brother Nelson Mandela? It is the same nonsense talk we got from the Whites and other South African people who did not want an honest, open intellectual Nelson Mandela to be in office. His long journey to get there worked and he is now an exceptionally decent President of South Africa and its peoples. There were people like you in South Africa who blamed Mandela, who went to prison and then walked straight into the President`s Office. So will be Hon Linton. We need to clean up our Dominica and just like the corrupt white class gangs in South Africa we have similar here immature, lack focus but just scared and worried of the investigations of corruption under this current failed corrupt Labour government with leaders at the helm condone and participate. Bin Bobol, Fertlizer Bobol, Passport Bobol etc. The abuse of states funds. Now our farmers are crying. No more Bananas to UK. Ask Skerrit?
Linton is idiot, what happen if he wins the election, should labor start protesting?. That behavior should never be condoned by any one much less a potential leader. Shame on this fool
You have made your opinion known of what you think about Mr. Linton and the ongoing protests. Why haven’t commented about Mr. Skerrit and his rampant correction that is driving the protests? Is he fit to contest the upcoming general elections? Don’t you think he should be arrested and charged for his criminal escapades?
Yes Ibo he is fit to contest. He has a track record of performing. What makes u think he is unfit. Your own subjective jealousy & hatred of him? This is not a criteria. I keep asking u where u are. U can never answer. You need to come if u not in DA to meet him for yourself. Get to know the man eye ball 2 eyeball. The PM is not the one who is driving the protest. You heard him (if u care to) to stop the protest & violence. What have u to say Ibo about the protesters who accosted the Reverend Kelvin Felix? U all are just as guilty as your leader because u all are too proud to say evil is evil because it is an opportunity to promote your agenda of being in Government not by ballot but by force. But God is not asleep Ibo. Pit built for others always is for the builder. What criminal escapades? U dreaming? The man has worked evidence can be seen all around. That International Plot IBo is going to backfire. Mark my words I tell u. Repent b4 2 late. Apologise 2 Dominicans. Peace
What are you talking about? what is it you are blaming the PM of doing. Linton pull out a 1.2 billion out of the air and so many of you believe him. He clearly don’t understand CBI program, well not surprised he’s in educated
Great Answer: “Don’t you think he should be arrested and charged for his criminal escapades? Answer the question.
Here goes the answer, we will help you. Arrested for the following:
1. Bin Bobol 2. Fertilizer Bobol 3. Red Clinic Bobol 4. Our Passport Bobol 5. The abuse of many people quing up in the Foyer of the Financial Centre waiting to be called up the corrupted Office of “Ductored” Skerro to receive just like that our states funds.
We have had a Welfare Division probably before Skerrit was born and was well administered stalwarts who have now retired from the service. therefore th service that failed Skerrit is managing , is fraudulent, corrupted and buying loyalty and votes to appease people to do as they are told. This is unprofessional and rhetoric behaviours and unprofessional. Skerrit lacks wisdom and planning in socio-economic development and he must Go. Skerrit has failed us and abused our poor people. We welcome Hon Linton and his formidable highly professional UWP…
If the UWP wins the election the DLP will implode. Let’s face it, this hasn’t been the Labour Party of old but rather Skerrits platform to hold on to power. Don’t be fooled Skerrit doesn’t care a bit about the DLP. He’s just laughing at all those die hard beggar!
These statement below are so true. Failed Skerrit and blind supporters in denial must take note. and go:
1. If the UWP wins the election the DLP will implode. True. They failed
2. This hasn’t been the Labour Party of old but rather Skerrits platform to hold on to power. shame on you Skerrit – Failed !?
3. Don’t be fooled Skerrit doesn’t care a bit about the DLP.
4. He’s just laughing at all those die hard beggar!
Yes, an insult to our people who are jobless, lack resources and Skerrit just does not care. Actually, Skerrit has killed our agriculture and knows not of socio-economic development. Skerrit is a game player. The latest Bobol now is our States passports that any Tom, Dick and Harriette has all over the world. Where is our money Skerrit? We need answers now and those who blindly support you should be quiet and let us see what happens in years to come.
We welcome the leadership and decency of Hon. Linton as incoming Prime Minister and his highly professional UWP Team…
Ibo u hating the PM actualy does not matter. Do u remember the Civil Servants got 2 months salary a bonus a 1st in Dominica? Mind u after Hurricane Maria. I sure heard the PM say that they need to get more money. U seem to forget that we are recovering from two (2) natural disasters – Erica & Maria? Read your comments again. Are you serious to portray the PM as such? I presume that u are somewhere out of Dominica. Hear u no Geothermal etc. You always say corruption but not 1 fact 2 prove. Many persons benefited after hurricane. New house going up everywhere. I am here in DA. No one is telling me. I c for myself. I would advise u to come to DA & I will drive u free of course around the country so u see 4 yourself. U cannot be out, listen to all crap some one feed u. Those protests isolated (Marigot & Salisbury) is causing the UWP votes. Labour party has their supporters.; also UWP but stop 4 a moment & think. God is not sleeping! Elders, Students 2 do exams. Love peace
You That The Truth be tod, wh lies and is in the band of fake news.
Do u remember the Civil Servants got 2 months salary a bonus a 1st in Dominica?
Also, I just cant comprehend what it is your message is. Well, mine is that yo are a blind bat and civil servants like ne and others has and will continue to receive increase in salaries. It did no start with Skerrit, only that Skerrit has stained and corrupted our civil service, our government and our NATION-Isle of beauty Dominica.
Skerrit has failed, he is this failure and never will he get into the intellectual and decency in politics like Hon Lennox Linton. Skerrit has stained our country and our people with handouts and no development to bring in money and resources to our Dominica for our people. Same on Skerrit and his incompetent acolytes who themselves have nothing to offer to our people.
Too much Bobol, deception, thievery and incompetence taken place within our government we have paid our tax money to have failed cronies…
When a leader of a country cannot give an account of 1.2 billion of the people’s money, that demonstrates mal-management, pilfering, or both. Which one is it? Is this the type of person you want leading your country, your business or your household?
Lennox Linton isca TERRORIST. He is using his supporters to TERRORIZE Citizens of Dominica. How dare you encourage your supporters to block access to people going to work. You are a national embarassment and you are a selfish human being.
Friendlyelse, try gain and get rid of this nonsense that you have written from your terrorists nonsense brains. Who, or where did you manage to get these thoughts from? Go back and write something much more with substance and then I will read and comment, but this empty thoughts y9 have displayed make no sense only that y have stained yourself publicly, and worse of, you have aligned yourself to the most corru0ted government and political party in the Caribbean with the worse Prime (Odd) Minister in Dominica and the Caribbean. Go read a book of “Good Governance, “Transparency, decency in public office. And that is where Hon Linton and his trusted UWP Team are for a long time. There leadership is strong, determined, focus and openly honest on matters of our Dominica. Hon. inton will make an exceptionally great Prime Minister. He is decent, a no nonsense person where our states funds are respected and protected. That is where Skerrit has failed, killed our economy.
UWP Government,…
…and you for sure are not right in your mind. How about this one, your PM is a gangster.
“Roosevelt Skerrit’s attack on the people’s right to free and fair elections”
For crying out loud! Lennox, who are the “people” you keep referring to?
You have no people on your side, except those uncivilized hooligans–they are not people!
You have decided to contest the election; it is too late to turn back. Wait for your victory, then you can talk about the people.
It must be that you know deep down in your mind that a Prime Minister’s Seat does belong to you; that is why you are playing make-believe while you have the chance. It is not working, and it will never work!
I perceive that after Friday, December 06, you will not even have the title of candidacy far more for the title of Prime Minister.
But don’t go running to that Benjamin Psychiatrist who is condoning to that disgusting behavior of your supporters–his treatment is not good for no one, especially not you. My goodness gracious me!
ElizabethLinaXavier so true. How are you. I am laughing – I said the same thing 2 – Doctor Benjamin is not good for our mental health patients. I have commented a lot on the state of affairs regarding the destruction in Dominica mostly in Marigot & Salisbury. The deception goes back to the time even when there was a parade of National wear. They planned 2 say that they will be protesting in National Wear. What they did is they found themselves in the midst of the parade so they post they will tell the overseas persons that all those persons supported them. They did this twisting things over & over again. Taking advantage of crowds. Imagine boycotters of national events now coming. Once u see them, something is up their sleeves. I say 2 them that God is not sleeping. He knows all deception. The plans even b4 they materialise. I feel sorry 4 those persons that we should pray to God 4 their deliverance from the evil spirits that have inhabited them. Lord heal their body, soul ,spirit
“You have no people on your side, except those uncivilized hooligans–they are not people!”
Elizabeth, please go clean your backyard and corrupted , failed Bobol Labour government before y go pointing your dirty finger and our decent people. You Madam Elizabeth, when you point one finger at people, remember that you have four dirty , corrupt labour finger pointed at you. So becareful who you go after.
All , I know from where I sit on the fifth flood, I distaste Skerrit, a failure in our government where I am a credible civil servant with a failed incompetent clown Skerrit ruined our nature Isle Dominica.
Skerrit has no socio-economic developmental plan for our people, and with 19 failed corrupted years past, this clown failed Skerrit and his corru0t Labour government must go Now
we welcome Hon Linton as Prime Minister and his decent UWP Team in g0vernment. Skitter and his failed clown must go and the hell out of our government. Please take failed immature Skerrit with you. G
It would have been very helpful if we could get something other than generalisations.
Rights such as what were taken away from the Marigot people?
What exactly was the injustice done to Marigot people?
What prevented Marigot people from taking advantage of opportunities open to people from other parts of Dominica?
e.g – small business and skills development for young people. ( I doubt that
any officials would be sitting in any agency waiting to discriminate
against applicants from Marigot)
– Agricultural development of some of the most fertile lands in the country
(Would AID Bank Officials refuse applicants from Marigot out of spite?)
– Higher education- College and University. Did someone say applicants
from Marigot are disqualified?
Most of all why didn’t they demand proper representation from the Parliamentary Representative whom they elected to do just that?
Are you serious with your frivolous comments? Here are just a few of the rights Margot people have been deprived of.
*The right to proper healthcare. Their hospital left to rot.
*Many residents of Margot have been denied employment in the public sector as a direct result of their political affiliation ‘
* The resources of the State, after recent disasters, the majority of residents were deliberately overlooked.
I could go on ad nauseam.
Barbara Saunders, you are just another sheep-like defender of a corrupt autocrat and a shameless, insensate party of bandits and criminals. Take off your bright red colored glasses and get a firm grip of reality.
Ibo
I am glad you got a few days to bury your embarassment over the diplomatic passport promises in exchange for financing.
I am very sure you have no proof or evidence of any one of these allegations about Marigot people.
Firstly, the hospital is not Marigot people hospital. It is expected to serve people from probably Castlebruce to Calibishie.
I agree that efforts should have been made to accelerate construction of a new hospital but you are wrong on who left it to rot. Termites leave a trail wherever they show themselves. There were nurses, ward aides, pharmacists, doctors, cleaners and others functioning in that hospital everyday. None of them saw it? None of them recognised that the long term impact would have been on their brothers and sisters and not on Skerrit?
If you want to play Mr. intelligent, get a grip on yourself and try to at least appear to be balanced.
Be careful who you call corrupt now becasue the net is getting wider to include your leader.
I am indeed happy to her this. Our people must hear and know the truth when matters of state erupted that will affect our people.
“I agree that efforts should have been made to accelerate construction of a new hospital but you are wrong on who left it to rot. Termites leave a trail wherever they show themselves.”
Actually Barbara Saunders u are right. Making general comments cannot prove anything unless as you mentioned above, state actual facts. Those persons cannot objectively disect anything but will thumbs u down once your comment is to provide facts. Pathetic indeed. Blame game because whilst trying to portray to the outside world that Dominica is in turmoil, it is only in Marigot & Salisbury that those so called destructive protest are taking place. They have to justify everything they do by putting the blame on someone. So many persons are condemning the protest. We have not heard the Leader of the Opposition/UWP party condemn violence but infact gave them the thumbs up for their behaviour. Blame game it is indeed.
Barbara, what do you expect from Linton, who claims that Dominica was sitting on the edge of a precipice–another mumbo-jumbo that he could never define.
Then a few months later he comes on here, praising the relationship of China with Dominica, wasn’t that pure hypocrisy?
Lennox Linton does not know the in and out of his mind, which is plagued by darkness; his words are nothing but exaggerations, futility, and fictitious gimmick, he has nothing positive to offer to us; he needs to simply vanish in space.
Good for you Lynton. Don’t worry your time will come. Keep on keeping on.all ripe have an end.
…..He contends that the people of Marigot who he says have been “oppressed and abused, hated and denigrated and denied of their fair share of national resources from the Skerrit administration for 20 years,” were provoked into resistance…Papa God where i be dere ner ,marigot pple have been oppressed,abused,hated and denigrated and denied a piece of the pie ..what pie Mr lennox are you talkin about…why are you so bitter, why are you so power hungry you say u winning 14 seats and you causing all that anarchy…jus because of MONEY the root of evil ….that you want to put in your pocket as well.
Yes wee Observer 130! But he should realise that he has caused more harm than good. If u winning 14 seats then u just wait for the election on Friday. Do winners behave so? Not at all. Those persons planning a coup but I will tell u that good always prevail over evil. The evil spirits inhabiting those people must go in Jesus Name. We pray for peace for them all. Lord touch them to become better citizens we ak of you in Jesus Name. You know them by name Lord. Change their stony bitter hearts to a fleshy loving heart. Lord we cry to you. Have mercy.
Do u know we should pray for them for deliverance which only the Creator can do. Lord we thank you for answering our prayers on their behalf in Jesus Name. Lord you say vengeance is yours. We do not ask for harm for them but that you change their vilent nature. We want love & peace to reign in this Land. Thank u again Father.
For an observer you are, you have penned rubbish and have failed to elevate this discussion that we read. If you undo have anything of substance please refrain from this area.
Have a great night rest. Be safe, see you soon. You seem to have no update
So look at the atmosphere in the place and you not even pretending to ask for peace. Hmm, what kind of “democratic” leader are you? You speak of free and fair elections but you are the one who has and is trying your best to “stifle” the elections and place fear in any and every one who may not be voting for you. Look at your verbal and body language, even with the presence of so many observers including the OAS you still know that you will not win the elections. The observers are there including the OAS, they will surely see and point out any irregularity. Their presence may even prevent any potential irregularities. Yes the present system need reform just to get up to date with times, but you know well that it is still free and fair. I know you are a politician but this is extreme, you are playing way too much with people’s lives. You are very dangerous! You are unfit to be PM!
David boy election call. Friday is the date. Who trying to stifle election? Who go to court 2 pospone the election? Who won 2 aditional seats in the last election? Who won under that same system in 1990? Look at who has verbal & body language? Who are condoning openly the riots protests? David partner cannot the reform be done after the election? The process has started & who put an injunction at the court? who say they winning 14 seats to form the Government & yet afraid of Friday? David I say this so go do your homework & come back . The OAS alone that is the best monitoring people? David go do your homework. There is an international plot to topple this Government aided & abetted by certain (wanna control individuals overseas). Who say they want LL to b their PM. They using him because the present PM did not give them position they wanted. Go do yr homework, Do not let anyone use u. Those overseas cannot even come DA. They want ithey can manipulate 2 b diplomats.
We are not hypocrites like you wicked Labourites who love to pretend like your abominable leader. There can never be peace without justice in any civilized society. All of you enablers should share a cell with him when he is tried and sentenced to life in prison for his crimes against Dominica and the people of Dominica.
Be careful what u ask for. I have seen persons say things without no reason and what happenned it back fired on them. It is a mere figment of your imagination that u think he will be tried , sentence to life imprisonment. Your facts are merely hearsay. I habe been warning u folks that when u dig a pit for others, you end up falling in it. Be warned! I tell you people stop the stories, sensation without proof. Stop the general statements. Show the crimes and the proof u have? You cannot do that becasue your stories are based on rumours, gossip etc. Some of you getting on as though there are no banks in Doinica, once u see someone with something , it is someone who gives it to them. We work, we save, we do not spend on unecessary items. We priotorise so when u see us with something, house, car etc, we sacrificed. Made do without the unecessary items. Paid our loans. Work hard. No one know when we did not have. We smiled. Cut on our expenses. Stop jealousy/hatred
Linton if anyone of these supporters die the blood will be on your hands. I commend the Prime Minister and the police commissioner because anywhere in the world the death toll would not be zero. This is not about passport selling or electoral reform. This is one man using his supporters to try and get into office by force. I have been following the events in Dominica and it is sad that some of the educated supporters of the UWP is not speaking out against this injustice. I am for demonstrating but this is not demonstrating. This is a very few demonstrating ignorance. You cannot bring back what fire burn, you cannot bring back the loss of a life.
Wrong, if any of them die the blood will be on Skerrits hand. After all they are fighting for justice and a corruption free Dominica. Quite a just and noble course.
Of course you are not concerned about that, all you care about is are the envelopes from your master.
@Cornelius C Okoro, you have the name of my sister’s husband, I wonder who is supporting over there
But I endorse your comment, you have spoken my mind; I am sure that I know what is in Linton’s mind, the reason he is so desperate to become the Prime Minister of Dominica, and his desire to fell exalted–like glory in his own self–that is what self-righteous is about.
What he has failed to take heed of, is that God knows his mind better than he, himself does.
And He has said: “No flesh shall glory in His presence” Lennox Linton is in for a giant down-fall, never to r rise from it.
With the revelations of the blatant corruption by Mr. Skerrit, why is it that not many more people are calling on him to step aside. This severely corrupt bandit should never be allowed to contest any other election in Dominica. The man is morally and ethically depraved. Seems to me that there is never a corrupt deal he can resist. The very reason that there are no electoral reforms, no raise for public servants, no intl airport, no geothermal energy, it’s all due to corruption by one man and his unscrupulous enablers. This diseased LIAR and MONEY HOARDER place of abode should be a dark, damp prison in isolation. No bona fide democratic country would have allowed a corrupt Skerrit-like figure to take further part in their political process.
Ibo MALAPROP France, One day left for 5 more years. Have you realized that?
Like it or not. LENNOX LINTON WILL and shall never ever lead a political party in this country again. Lennox is a CON MAN and a LIAR!
Why didn’t you make mention of the $470,000.00 deal O J Serephine disclosed.
The signing of the MOU Bruney talked about that Lennox signed and he Bruney witness?
How about the TWO AMBASSADORS at large that was made the promise after 28 days should the UWP get into office?
Are you a saul(the fish that sees on on side)?
TRAITOR !
Ibo
Glad you have been able to re-appear after the Al Jazeera documentary, particularly the latter part with the bombshell revelations about the opposition promising diplomatic positions in exchange for campaign financing.
In case you are inclined to jump to denial of that, remember Sam Raphael had told us so,with supporting evidence some time back.
So your question is a good one. Why aren’t more people calling on Mr. Skerrit to step aside? Perhaps they too are still shell shocked to learn that the greatest anti-corruption idol has feet of clay. so they are now confused.
We seem to see corruption with one eye. It applies to some people and the other eye is totally closed for other people.
So you have now revealed what this whole upheaval is about. You are not saying that he should be defeated at the polls, you are saying he should not be allowed to CONTEST. That explains the rampaging of the country. Take power by force as you cannot win by the ballot.
Babar bra, that’s a damn lie….”the latter part with the bombshell revelations about the opposition promising diplomatic positions in exchange for campaign financing.” Madam, I can tel you now, that what is it you have speculated is a misdemeanour,, and don’t go assume, write stuff until you have done your research and not listen and read gossip, mepuis business. I can assure that the UWP team led by its highly professional Hon. Linton is focussed on Dominica`s development and to have that failed Skerrit out of our g0vernemtn ASAP that we get our people embraced and focussed in meaningful development that we bring back our bananas, agriculture and that’s the focus.
I am not interesting on matters if you like or dont like Linton, it is Dominica that comes first. Who is going to get us at that level when immature Skerrit has failed. I Work within the Financial Centre and my job takes me around the government system. I can vocally say to you that Skerrit has failed and crippled…
Lennox you are just a puppet not a leader and all what you said there is crap!!!!!
So Joe, After 19 years , how would your described your failed stained, incompetent Skerrit. Br re-minded that it was this same Hon Lennox Linton , whom you may not like, exposed to us Dominicans of the thievery and Bobols of Skerrit misdeanmor in office as Prime Minister. That is why you all dislike Linton, He is open, honest, a professional, intellectual, trusted and has worked within the Caribbean. What does failed Skerrit represent, Matters of Bobol and thievery.
Hon Linton is Knowledgeable of politics, government and governance. Socio-economic development and to this day Skerrit is still not there yet. His business has been the following Bobolistic habits. Here goes: 1.Bin Bobol (exposed by Hon Linton). Skerrit lied then he work up and said it was a “mistake.” Skerrit, lied, it was no mistake it was real. He was caught with bobol red pants down. We need change in Dominica.
Shame got to him and exposed by Linton. Skerrit failed and must not be Prime Minister again. Go Hell, Go…
Well spoken, Lennox. You are of course absolutely right in saying, there is no peace without justice. Skerrit better remember that and should not forget that the people of Dominica have been very patient so far with him. Also it needs to be mentioned that Skerrit is a right one to talk. May I remind him in this connection, that we are still waiting for him to account for missing CBI and PetroCaribe monies. We are also waiting for him to tell us about the diplomatic passports that he sold to criminals. The only persons in Dominica that exercise lawlessness on a daily basis are Skerrit, his ministers, the chief of police, his little gangster friends from Portsmouth and other members of the cabal. Remember his famous words: NO LAW AND NO CONSTITUTION…
Enough said!!!!
Linton if I hear my boy praise you in anyway I am putting him up for adoption. You want to lead a country that just went through two natural disaster and you are condoning your supporters burning down a village. When is common sense going to hit you and realize this is wrong. You are not destroying Marigot you are destroying the image of your country. Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere what you are promoting is wrong. If Dominicans ever make that mistake and put you in power it would be a very sad 5 years for Dominica. You have been a man of violence from the day you become the leader of the party. I thought by now you would grow into your role as leader but you are getting worse. Dominica is better off with you moving to another island. Cross Antigua on your list they don’t want you. Promote Dominica don’t help to destroy her.
Cornelius
You have put it well.
I have been puzzled for years by this paradox of burning down the house to kill the rat in it because I love it so much, when so many stores sell rat poison.
I am even more puzzled as to why the gentleman would not choose the route of presenting himself, his policies and programmes as superior alternatives to Mr. Skerrit’s and then use his speaking ability to persuade the population to vote for his party.
If you have to win an election by destroying the country, perverting people’s minds to cause mayhem, erasing the country’s image of peace and tranquility and creating fear, what must the population look forward to?
Leopards do not change their spots as far as I know, so is he going to rule the country by fear and coercion for those who hold a different view of you and your strategies?
How can an election be fair if it is not free from fear? I hope that he is really scoring points because the observers are already here and…
Don’t worry about election. There won’t be an election! Well not one that’s been held on Skerrits terms anyway. Your master is finished little red mouth piece. I wonder who you’ll be singing for when your master is gone. Unfortunately, no envelopes and houses from UWP for the likes of you. You are a despicable… oh what do you call these brown things on 6 legs in your kitchen again?
Hi Randy
Just as foul mouthed as the rest of you. I hope that on December 07 you do not wake up from a nightmare.
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. The same can be said of goodness. What you consider honourable and behaviour is considered abominable from another perspective.
You don’t have to spell it out sir, every utterance, every body language, every action from your side is an indicator that we can say goodbye to democracy if we have the misfortune to see you and your kind in office.
You think people will be able to criticise your P.M. in waiting like they do Skerrit? Think again boss. Many of the supporters are already saying all who will get axed and chopped into little pieces and similar fates if you all get the chance. so you are just reinforcing.
Let us see if the father above will grant you all that dream of evil.
Many happy returns on the 6 legged kitchen help.
Barbara, your “house and rat” reference reminds of the movie called “mouse hunt”.
Two brothers were about to get a large sum of money for an antic house, but they found out that there was a mouse running around, so they decided to get rid of it.
But their tactic was so very destructive in that the mouse kept on outplaying them at their every plan.
So at one time, the brother who was more like the spectator than the mouse killer, he yelled at the other brother saying: “You are supposed to kill the mouse but you are destroying the whole house
So they ended without the house and no money
That is an exact portrait of Lennox’s mentality. He is destroying Dominica in his quest to take leadership over her.
But in the end, he will end up with nothing –what a sorry situation!!!!
You are one little corrupt individual!
So true Cornelius C Okoro! I could not thumbs up. They preventing students from doing their exams. What happens if one of their people get sick etc and needs to be sent to PMH in Roseau? Well we are cool here in DA. It is only a handful of individuals in Marigot & Salisbury that is doing those foolish things. Aided and abbeted by their leader & Parl reps. Also a well known Doctor from Welsey. These people cannot be trusted to lead. Those who are abit educated in that party are not saying anything too because they are disappointed & they will not vote to have the Leader of the Opposition win any election. Dominica does not need a change of Government but a new Opposition Party. Peace & Love!
Why don’t you show that same kind of concern for the students at universities around the world on government scholarships who should also be sitting their final exams but are instead forced to take a flight to Dominica to vote? Hypocrite and wicked Labourites.
“Linton if I hear my boy praise you in any way, I am putting him up for adoption”
Cornelius, where have you been all of this time? I want to read those comments without saying anything after them, but I cannot help when I read comments like yours.
Your first line had me laughing so hard, I didn’t want to stop.
You have said it “perfectly” my friend; a man who wants to be the prime leader of his Nation should be grounded on promoting her, not on destroying her.
Cornelius, you know that you are talking real Bullsit matters.
You want to lead a country that just went through two natural disaster and you are condoning your supporters burning down a village. Rubbish. Nonsense.
This is what should be read.
Cornelius: You want to lead a country that just went through three natural disasters and one on going highly Bobol, corrupted disaster over 19 years by failed Skerrit and his immature Labour corrupted government. 19 years these bunch of labour clowns have used their office to reduce our people to poverty and killed our Dominica agriculture, and you all are out there condoning your supporters burning down our village.
Skerrit is a loser, incompetent, immature and sells our passport to weird people all-over the world and we know that as Finance Minister Skerrit knows about the money and we need to kno where is our money, how much collected through this sales of our passport, we do not know but we need an account of our money. It`s ours…
From where I sit, I believe that Dr. Skerrit’s remarks are designed to raise public opinion against you and team Dominica. You see anything that happens in Dominica, Dr. Skerrit places the blame squarely on the UWP. Where in the world do you here a country’s leader calling on the leadership of the opposition to stop the unrest and civil disobedience in the country?
I believe that it is the preamble of a superficial cleverly designed plan to get the armed forces out and invite them to turn their guns on the people. He believes in so doing he will commit his criminal acts with impunity. His efforts have not gone unnoticed and the world at large is now focussed on the activities in Dominica. You have frustrated some of Dr. Skerrit’s plans.
In the Al Jazeera report, OJ spoke of Dr. Skerritt’s, Master plan. Note he has invited the RPSS but not the OAS observers. The plan may be to pay a foreign soldier to take you out!! Be careful!! He is obviously afraid of you!!
Ras B who is condoning those foolish things – Linton & Dr Benjamin. PM has asked for peace. He called his supporters not to be violent. People like u do not look at things objectively. Who are protesting doing foolish things not respecting the citizens of Dominica -The students who are writing exams, the elderlies & young children who do have bronchial problems. You have a problem with PM? It is the Oposition who gets all kind of problems – Voter Id cards, want election called, election reform. No election & then they nominated. Do you think 4 u? Can’t u see thru this confusing people who in trying to deceive others especially those overseas? Open your eyes. They will take a pic of 1 house not yet fixed & make a mountain & u overseas will think the worst. As I write most places are peaceful, except Marigot/Salisbury. Whose supporters are in those 2 consistuencies – UWP Hector John & Opposition Leader LL. U need to come c for yourself. They are yet 2 call on them. Lord
If it were for people like you, we would still be slaves to this day. And you even have the audacity to speak of objectivity. Coolout ka feh bagay.
“Where in the world do you here a country’s leader calling on the leadership of the opposition to stop the unrest and civil disobedience in the country?”
Ras B, you speak a lot of foolishness, including that one above. PM Skerrit is a wise man, that is the reason he called on Lennox to “speak to his followers” because they are the ones who are causing the “unrest” it is not from the general public.
As a matter of fact, the followers of PM Skerrit are all over the place condemning what Lennox’s followers are doing.
When corrections are enacted, no one will say that they were not warned. Linton and his followers believe that they are untouchable–how foolish can they be, especially that they are not the majority of the Nation
Well put Ras B. I read well with some level of confidence that hopefully this will be end of this highly corrupted Labour Government and its immature, failed Ductored Minister, Skerrit. When failed Skerrit has gone, those blind followers of him, blind to the reality of the state of our Domininca will go meet Skerrit to help in his “cry cry Baby Cry” demeanour. We won’t cry for you Skerrit, we want you out now, as we will cry for our Dominica, our sincere and hard working civil servants who are anxious to see the back of you and your failed corrupted bonolist9c Labour government. We have been stained with your weird leadership and wastage of our states money through this o called Red Clinic, just to gain you some support. But you lose Skerrit, you have failed, you will go soon. We need you out of our states business and please take those blind in denial followers with you.
“Finally, I believe that it is the preamble of a superficial cleverly designed plan to get the armed forces…
Lennox get a grip and stop this back and forth. Call your supporters and denounce violence. You doing more harm to yourself because you have not called your supporters to be peaceful. Do you remember Jehovah who gave u life? You seem to believe u are the Lord ofbthevflies. Only you matters and all you say is correct. Get off your high horses now before it is too late. God is merciful, just but he is one of wrath. You should be petitioning him in prayer not in warefare. Do you know Jehovah is one of order? Putting people at risk , the very one u want to represent you , your supporters smoking them to inhale even the young ones. Sit down and think of what u are doing. More damage than good. U know too that you have lost support & losing more as u do not denounce & stop this madness.hatred Seek God and wait on him. His timing is always right. Need to change your life and attitude. Seek Jehovah who will give u instructions with a clean heart. Emancipated yourself from thi
It will stop once Skerrit is gone. It’s in his hands!
“Do you remember Jehovah who gave u life? You seem to believe u are the Lord of butterflies.”, Mr. Truth be Told, check you spelling first so that you dont continue make a fool of yourself on social media like your failed incompetent, immature Skerrit. ….. and the word is “Butterflies.
And the other word is “Failure”, that means you al ought to get this failed incompetent failed Skerrit and his corru0t Labour government to get the hell out of our Government. Skerrit is a failure, he has achieved absolutely nothing for the suffering people of Dominica apart from his riches somewhere in the USA with Melena.
Shocking news, it is now released that the so called Ductorate bestowed in this failed Skerrit is going to be revoked that he Skerrit has not railed himself to the standard to deserve such an award. This award twill be revoked. “Dr. Skerrit My Corrupt Foot” In other words Skerrit you have no standards for decency in government and t respect people who are suffering…
Linton we have worked with you at DCP,and we know you are a DISHONEST,LIAR.Your motive along is to DESTROY DOMINICA and blame DLP.Just as the disguised $470,000 money laundering,as humanitarian assistance.All the time accusing Skerrit of corruption.If you know the election will be stolen why take part.Only CON ARTIST do that.The time is coming when you will pay for your EVIL ways
You must be confusing Lennox with this Nassief clan. Get a grip you clown!
Madam Lin Clown, as usual you present ome idiotic message that has no bearing nor common-sense that you are able to elevate our suffering Dominica and suffering people. It appears you have nothing of substance to do and say a=butt you are hooked on Skerrit and take your revenge on Hon. Linton, a critical professional who is able to return our Dominica and our people including you to some level of decency. And for your information Madam Clown, we will talk of the incompetence and corruption of Skerrit and his failed , corrupted Labour government. Skerrit must Go. This failed Boboloist9c Labour government must \go. Skerrit: “go to hell…Go to hell, Go to Hell, it is our damn business to talk of the poverty, your corruption, and numerous Bobols you have imposed on our people and our nature isle. Skerrit you must go. We have more decent, mature, competent people to manage and run our Dominican affairs, with decency, professionalism and good approach to our government.
Welcome Hon…
As a Dominican citizen who have seen how Skerrit has deliberately and wickedly marginalised the people of Marigot in everything, I have no choice but to fully support and encourage them in the protest action..
Leadership is everything..This means that everyone matters, and noone is left out.
Neither patriot Linton nor patriot James should try to stop the protest!
Skerrit
Whey is di money?
Whey is di money?
Whey is di money?
People burning down your village and that’s the best you could come up with? I hope and pray you have no kids that look up to you because your ignorance is to another level. This is not a demonstration it’s an act of ignorance. I voted for Linton because my family made me feel guilty. No way as a mature adult I can make that mistake again. He had my vote 2 months ago not anymore. This is madness on every level hate Skerrit or like Skerrit this is not right.
Island Peeps, I respect your decision, but just like I have spoken to people who have said and imply again, just what you have said.
Trust me, there is no need for this. Our Dominica is in a state of disrepair, our government has failed us, and Skerrit has killed our resources, our agriculture and killed our bananas to the UK, and has reduced our Dominica and our people to poverty begging and disrespect. Now our people are called to beg at Skerrit’s office to receive states financial handouts. That is fraudulent, thievery and bobol and abuse of our people. Skerrit and political clowns have failed us and our Dominica. Ignore Skerrit, he is a waste of time and has no conscious, nor does he care for our people and our Dominica. We welcome Hon. Lennox Linton and his highly complement, professional UWP Team. The UWP, under our Hon. Lennox Linton will return our Dominica and its people.
We cannot take anymore of Skerrit. We had enough of deception, lies, and massive Bobol. Go Skerrit.
Excuses! Excuses! Not taking responsibily. Blaming someone for a foolish thing. % u stuck record have u ever sat down & objectively analysed the situation. the Election is 2 days away. Your party will win & u are doing all this foolish thing (condoning & supporting). Do winners behave like this? You are not confident. Here u ‘Leadership is everything..This means that everyone matters, and noone is left out. Neither patriot Linton nor patriot James should try to stop the protest!” Well I’ll tell u they should because they are loosing their supporters vote (mind u I did not say going to the DLP). Bitterness kills makes 1 sick. Need to forget hatred of the PM 4 a while. He has his supporters which u should accept. Your party chances are dwindling. God is not sleeping! Supreme Creator! He runs things not PM nor LL. Open eyes! Stop hatred of the PM. Repent & see things differently. Maria 7 hours; Bahamas 36 hours. Who saved us? We are not even thankful! God is love also…
Linton you are just a worthless piece of crap! Man up % they have directives from Lennox to burn. How the hell you could blame Skerrit for your woes in Marigot when you are walking out of Parliament.
When you ordered 1 generator for your personal use did you think of the people of Marigot! You don’t live there, you only pass through when you are doing your money laundering business.
You are a uneducated high school dropout, who think you could CON your way to our highest position.
You invited the international new agencies to investigate Skerrit, instead the DIRT was on you. Your devious incompetent behavior is falling right in your face. How many of the neighboring islands have sided with you. The majority of Dominicans don’t really care about the Horse Down that’s coming out your 👄. I am proud to be a Dominican from St. Joe, Poor and HAPPY. I am satisfied with the DLP progress. Lennox you are NOT speaking on my behalf. Find a JOB! You will NEVER be PM nor Edison, James…
Oh poor thing. You are crying for uncle Skerrit already? Poor pity…
The people of Marigot, how can you tell your people or family to vote for a person who doesn’t care about no one but himself. Lennox doesn’t want election reforms. What are his gripes? How can you encourage you children and grandchildren to look up to such a character? How has Lennox elevated your peoples’lives! Your will burn down the stump but the roots will spring again. All your codes and threats will come back to hunt you %. Calling you an uncivilized pathetic beast is rather a good name.
Have the (TTO) Take Them Out Pill ready by the door for DLP. It is time to stick a fork in DLP, they are done. Their shelf-life has expired. DLP had reached their point of diminishing return, and it is time for them to step down.
JDorn u are speaking for the masses. The DLP has a lot of supporters. UWP has theirs as well. U people like trouble. Election is 2 days away. Let the poll talk. UWP won in 1990. They received 2 additional seats in the last General Election. Where is your common sense? Just following without thinking for yourself. Support your Blue UWP party but let elction prove. You all want to do a coup to come in power without ballot but one has to be loving, peaceful, caring & the God I know will elevate that person. Do you know that with all those foolishness, many of your supporters have turned their back on your party? I did not say they turned to Labour. They will not vote for someone who instigates violence. At the least , your leaders, parl reps should call them 2 stop even if they really do not mean it. This tells a lot. Who wants a selfish person 2 run this country? Maybe u & some blind not thinking for themselves people (followers). Real people will not. Wake up. Peace
