    In a real country both Skerrit and Blackmore would be arrested as soon as they enter parliament so that they could help the people to honestly investigate the Soufriere double murder trial since one of the alleged murderers was a known CBI passport dealer. But it was Prime Minister Roosevelt Skerrit himself that told us that the Dominica he’s been leading for almost 20 yrs is NOT a damn real country.

    The same can be said of the UWP scums. Ugly-head Linton, military-head Fontaine, pretty-face Monelle, uneducated-Jasma, emaciated-Douglas, cannot-spell Francisco Telemakak, election day-loser Ibo France. And here you have it.

    The conduct of those members on the government side of the aisle in the House, is tantamount to that of drunkards and hoodlums.

    Examine the caliber of persons like thick-skulled Melissa and foul-mouthed Levi Peter in this august body. It changes this once revered institution to a dilapidated rum shop situated in a remote, god-forsaken location of an impoverished country.

    You cannot bake a tasty cake using rotten eggs. From these MPs raucous, combative, cantankerous behaviour, they conduct themselves like drunks at a rowdy, spectator sport.

    Well-loved. Like or Dislike: Thumb up 13 Thumb down 3
