Dog Biter, you made me laugh. Your words: ahole, illiterate, sick turkey, boring
Every one of those words perfectly describe you. You give unto others what are exclusively yours.Your biggest enemy is a book.If you continue emitting cow manure on this forum, I’ll post the photo of you reading a book turned upside down.
I have given up on my country. Skerrit broken the law yet again and the the country manages 25 protesters. Well, that says it all. I hope you all get happy with your ‘no law and no constitution’ PM. All I can say, over the coming years all you will suffer some severe indignities at the hand of this man and his militia. Mark my words. All you get what all you deserve. BEGGARS!
P.S.: this is my last comment on here, it’s just a waste of time!
Good get out of it sucker!!
It’s no surprise you made that asinine comment. Your tiny pea brain cannot think of the serious ramifications of this controversial by-election. You have missed the forest for the trees.
Any national event affects the entire country. It concerns all Dominicans. Typical DLP supporter.
You seem like one of those DLP supporters who would ask where to put the stamp on the e-mail.
@As if What work were you doing when you posted your silly comment? If you are a “true Dominican” then these people are fighting to save Dominica for you and your children. Dominica is in grave danger but you are too blind, lazy and dull to see that. Ignoramus
Wow, are these protesters really fighting to save Dominica for our children, are you serious, lol, who are you trying to sell such fairy tail. When people fighting to save their Country and the future for their children, is this an example worth pointing to. When you suggest that Dominica is in grave danger, this not a new narrative, it is the mantra used to appeal to the people you see protesting and others like you. Dominicans know when the Country is in grave danger and the need to fight for the future of their children, an example of this was in the year 2000 Dominicans united letting go their Party affiliation uniting with one aim in mind
removing the UWP from office.
Gary, you are correct in a way, because it will not take simple talk of useless words, and standing in the streets to rid the country of the tyrant, Roosevelt Skerrit!
Gary it will take just a few strong minded people with great will power, to head into the streets with some fire power, and unleash the wrath of the suffering on Roosevelt, and his cabal.
Gary, how do you protect yourself from any snake? Assuming a snake is the is the head of a government oppressing a nation; the only method the people can get rid of that snake 🐍 is by beheading the snake.
Dominicans must free the nation from the snake that has long become an oppressor, a victimisor of the nation, he went from rags to riches in less than five years.
How old are you?
Check your bank account if you have one, see if you have a billion dollars saved in it!
Are you prepared to worship a thief for the rest of your life?
I meant the only method one can use to protect themselves, and the nation from that powerful snake, that viper, that corrupted, Dominica New Foundland snake 🐍 is to beheaded it.
Hahahahahahahahah.
You are right! Under this current administration, Dominica is a desert for employment opportunities. Finding a job is as near impossible as finding a lost earring in the Sahara Desert.
Thousands of resident Dominicans are jobless, ‘broke’, broken and living below the poverty line. Able-bodied people have been reduced to begging to survive.
Yes cause you must be on with oil in foot, greedy evil doers
We are turning Dominica around for our children. Who don’t like it lump it. We are getting rid of corruption and to hold the regime responsible for their disrespect to Dominica and its people.
PROTEST, PROTEST, PROTEST my people. Be like others in the world, Europe, Guadeloupe, U.K. and let the leaders know that you have the power. 500 policemen even with guns cannot overcome 50,000 determined citizens. Protest for your rights and the rights of our future generations.
@Protest, I noticed that you mentioned 50,000 citizens where the hell did you get 50,000 manicou so-called UWP from? You guys should stopped your nonsense and get a life don’t let ugly Lenny, lead you guys astray from the correct path or direction, such as questionable behaviours, it is time to kick ugly Lenny, where the sun never shines!
How long will Dominicans have these abusive guys on their backs?
@Roseau…What I’d like to say is that, you are a waste of time and an obstacle in the way of Freeing our country. But be it known, that no obstacle will prevent us from liberating our beloved Dominica. China is waiting to take and accept people like you and the rest. Then you all will be singing, “ By the rivers of Babylon.” Move aside and let Dominicans free themselves.
Keep up the good work Athie, and those alongside you.
You have my admiration and good wishes.
“Say not the struggle nought availeth,
The labour and the wounds are vain,
The enemy faints not, nor faileth,
And as things have been they remain.
If hopes were dupes, fears may be liars;
It may be, in yon smoke concealed,
Your comrades chase e’en now the fliers,
And, but for you, possess the field.
For while the tired waves, vainly breaking
Seem here no painful inch to gain,
Far back through creeks and inlets making,
Comes silent, flooding in, the main.
And not by eastern windows only,
When daylight comes, comes in the light,
In front the sun climbs slow, how slowly,
But westward, look, the land is bright.”
(Arthur Hugh Clough. 1819-1861)
Nice poem, with words of encouragement but let’s not forget

But why UWP people protesting when they not even contesting the bi-election nuh?
Something as simple as this you do not understand but you on DNO posting on big people topic. Go and read pepperpig.
@Frank N Stein
You crack me up wee!!!
This is not a UWP, Labour, Freedom. This is an attack on democracy in Dominica and blatant ruthless violation of the law. This should stop.
So why is Danny Lugay, Athie Martin and all those poto UWP usual suspects hugging de platform eh? This is another ploy by the UWP to try and interfere with the election even though they not directly contesting it but hoping the opposing candidate win and suddenly declare him as a UWP parliamentarian.
I hope the people of Grandbay don’t allow these guys to pull the wool over their eyes,
@Eagle-Eyed Exactly! Those people are prone to do nothing else but disturb the peace of the majority of Dominicans, even if they have failed miserably, in the past. It must be that embarrassment is their food of existence. But how unfortunate!
Dominicans will continue to languish in dirty poor poverty until they grow a spine, stand up to the severely corrupt despot and send him into permanent political oblivion.
Mr. Skerrit, his semi-illiterate wife, his sheep-like Cabinet colleagues and his corporate and religious goons must be POLITICALLY exterminated from the landscape of Dominica. The sooner the better for all Dominicans. The economic and political stranglehold that these people have on Dominicans must be broken once and forever.
@Ibo, You are a sick turkey boring and sad hoping if by some miracle ugly Lenny, becomes prime minister you will get something out of it,” dog eat dog “that will never happen UWP is dead and buried under your fake leader ugly Lenny, something else Mr ahole, there is no one staving in Dominica under Pm Skerrit and his government, it just goes to show how arrogant and illiterate people like you are, learn to read loser.
Ibo France, you are playing that FOOLISH BROKEN RECORD again. Will you ever stop? For there is no truth in what you are saying and you know it! You are simply braying like an
“UNHAPPY, COWARD DONKEY” behind a false name.
Be brave! Present yourself to be the complete opposite of what you claim PM Skerrit, his wife, and his Government Body to be, write your real name above your comments! Stuuuuupes man!
What kind of protest dat nuh? Chewps.
@Sasayay, so what do you consider it to be when one or a few people engage in a hunger strike to draw attention to some issue about which they disagree. Don’t you call these protests? or in your simple mind a protest must be thousands of people. Oh ye simple minded and uninformed. The fact that you are writing about it shows that attention was drawn to the issue thus the effort was a success. It made the news and thousands of people heard of it. Not all protests get the desired outcome and change desired. Take your head out of the sand and get educated on protests and protest actions.
Where you sit behind your computer and write such comment, suddenly you become an expert about protest, what do you know about protest, lol. When last have you been to a protest or have you been to any protest for any cause you support. Ask yourself, does this protest have any relevance to the majority of Dominicans in terms of their livelihood or liberty, does this protest have any real legitimate purpose, can you honestly answer these two questions, not what you perceive. You made an observation,
“Not all protests get the desired outcome and change desired”, great observation, well the two questions I posed to you, they can answer why not all protests get the desired outcome and change desired.
As to a hunger strike to draw attention to an issue, that is taking the protest to another level, do any of these protesters willing to go that far, note also, not everything a person dies for is true. When @Sasayay asked “What kind of protest dat nuh? Chewps” it is legitimate.
Gary, you are right on! Tell him about it!
He says to Sasayay: “Take your head out of the sand”. I wonder where does he think his own head is? Good Lord!
Almost double figures. What a turnout. Congrats.
Are those guys serious? what happen they do not have work to do? a bunch of waste of time.
