Businessman Jerry Brisbane has said that he was shaken by the level of security which surrounded him during his journey in and out of the prime minister’s office this morning where he presented a petition asking for the removal of Minister for National Security, Immigration and Labour Charles Savarin.
A delegation led by the businessman presented the petition document containing nearly 4,000 signatures to President Nicholas Liverpool in Morne Bruce and then to the prime minister’s secretary at the Financial Centre in Roseau.
This petition is asking for Savarin’s removal for calling on the public via a radio programme last month to boycott Brisbane’s company, OD Brisbane & Sons after Brisbane sent letters to international organisations expressing issues with Dominica’s use of aid money.
“I was told clearly that I alone will be the one allowed to go up to the prime minister’s office to present the petition to his secretary. I went up to the office and presented the petition to his secretary who received it on his behalf and signed…” he told media after coming out of the Financial Center.
“I then was escorted. Well I must say, never in my life have I had so much security around me. I felt a lot more insecure than secure I will say that, than being secured… to meet with his secretary and then from there secured again to come back down. I’m not going to give numbers like people did; there were maybe too many to count,” he stated.
Brisbane added: “But the point is this, when I see a small state like Dominica reach in this stage it really frightens me….seeing the level of security that was employed on a peaceful mission like this it’s very frightening to me, I think at this point in time in this country. And it should be also very frightening for the citizens of this country.”
The businessman said however, he saw no guns on the officers.
“I saw no guns by anybody outside but I would not expect any security person along the way to had not had some form of defence. I am not going to say for sure I saw guns. I did not see guns but obviously I would expect that the security were armed,” he said.
“My blood is rising, it is. I am trying to keep myself calm because when I experience these kinds of things it is going to get any human being like myself, who is a very peaceful person, you know to be aroused and I was quite aroused at the reception that I got,” he added.
Speaking to journalists after delivering the petition to the president earlier this morning, Brisbane described the handing-over as “cordial” and “well received”.
Brisbane said the brief occasion involved the exchange of greetings and pleasantries with the president and his delegation.
The businessman was among seven persons who visited the President’s Office to deliver the petitions. Brisbane said only four persons including himself were allowed to enter the office.
The seven-person delegation included attorney Singoalla Blomquist-Williams, journalist Carlisle Jno-Baptiste, farmer Randy Aaron, Pastor Matthew Auguiste, OD Brisbane’s longest-serving employee Cuthbert Joseph, among others.
Apart from Brisbane’s delegation, a group of about 10 media personnel and several SSU officers, no other persons were present at what Brisbane said was a “peaceful” event.
Brisbane told media that the president did not indicate that there would be any undertaking as a result of his petition.
“Well the president is head of state and obviously the 4,000-plus petitioners is a significant percentage of the adult population in Dominica. And we said to the president, the petition is requesting – and I say requesting because we can’t do anything else – there’s nothing else we can demand I guess from the president, other than I expect that he would consider the request,” he said.
“Well the point about it is this, I would think that the prime minister and the president would wait to receive the petition first before any instructions are given… There was no response from the president as to what they are gonna decide to do. The only response was a cordial exchange of words,” he said.
Before leaving for the prime minister’s office, Brisbane said that his delegation did not receive any official confirmation from the prime minister that he would receive the delegation this morning, but the prime minister ‘s office did not indicate they would not have received them.
Brisbane said that there are no plans for protest or how he will proceed with the matter after the petitions are delivered. “I will take one day at a time,” he stated.
“I saw this as a responsibility and a job. I think I have pulled it to the best of my ability and we’ll see what happens from there,” he told reporters.
He encouraged the prime minister and the president to take petitions seriously.
No other member of the delegation was allowed to accompany Brisbane to the prime minister’s secretary.
Brisbane later made a correction that there were actually 3,938 signatories on the petition after a final tally. He had initially said that there were a few additional signatures which had not been finalized this morning.
Alas alas we are the only people that are so foolish in the caribbean. wake up dominicans. it is not to late for u. take out the veil from your eyes. please wake up.
look at the issues and not the persons bring the issues to life. look at the issues and read for yourselves. open your eyes.
All i can say on this matter is that i am a young Dominican looking on and i am just so sorry for this country called Dominica.
God gave all of us a brain in our heads free of charge to think logically and wisely.
i dont need anyone to explain to me that what is happening to my country is just so wrong.
i think Mrl Skeritt and his cabinet should do the honourbale thing and resign from Government. infact, any one accused of what this man has done should not be in office today.
the president, sir all i can say to you is shame on you. As an older man that qualified for presidency, where is your pride and love for your country. What are you holding this high office for? Just for a salary or to take this abused country of ours from the slum that it is under. what do you stand for? do you have any values at all.
One of those days God will reed us of this wicked shameful Government and my people will put sense in thier heads and not operate not on the poverty that this government is ensuring that they stay in but with sense and logic. i will pray for this day.
the Bible says that nothing last forever under this sun and this applies for everthing under this sun. Including the wicked ness that Skerit is doing to us.
SKeritt, i am not a fool and you may think that we are fools cause you have gotten a way to fooling so many poor people by offering them hand outs and keeping them poor so you can control them. God will deliver us from you.
When you write letters accusing then condemning your brothers to political death is that peaceful?
No, you have on your own accord declared war.
I believe we are getting lost in the fray. The original concern is Dominica’s use of AID MONEY. Is it lining political pockets? Where is it going?
I cannot believe that ,we as a young nation is acting in a manner that will have serious implications later.We need to grow out of this kind of politics. You remember the 1970 s ,the DDF,under the ministery, may 29 1979,come on people ,we can do better than that , we have better things to do , i am watching ,you all from the outside………………………
mr. brisebane, why were you so afraid that your blood raise. you are the one who started the fire.you could have put it out,you did not.mr.savrin said his piece and shut up, please take a page from his book. i think you have other motive what mr savrin said is not the only issue that’s bothering you please tell the dominican people the whole truth.
Boy dom-in-a-cans really stupid,anyway all the love all you say all you love all you pm,you ppl are just setting the pm for his downfall.
well all i can say is that is democracy because jerry brisbane could a never have that attitude under miss charles regime because them same security would box and kick he..s up.
Relating this to the new story on DNO about “Venezuela considers Internet regulations”:
Can you ever see these headlines for countries like Barbados, Saint Lucia, England, Canada or the United States?
We should do all we can to prevent the thought of this censorship – much more the implementation – ever happening in Dominica. Had Government responded to Mr. Brisbane’s inquiries when he raised them over the past few months, there would have been peace in the land and all the negativity of these past few weeks would have been avoided. Various ministers are now coming out in the media (INCLUDING THE INTERNET) and addressing the same issues Mr. Brisbane has been raising. I guess when he asked the questions back then, their stance was “who does he think he is to ask questions?”…and THAT IS A PROBLEM! That is a problem!
The scariest thing is that there are thousands of Dominica who prefer to sell their freedom in exchange for back ‘n neck and rice every week…just so they do not have to work for a living… …just as some will sell their land valued at thousands of dollars for $900.00 to buy a fridge at Courts.
A related problem is that there are too many Dominicans who want to be taken care of instead of finding work to do. These people will vote for any policy or law that allows them not to have to look for a job or to work hard. This mentality will be the demise of the Country as NO COUNTRY can truly succeed if its citizens depend on it for all their needs.
Communism/dictatorships have failed and will continue to fail. Go ask people living in Russia, Iraq, Eastern Europe, Cuba, Haiti, and some African countries after so many people have died senselessly and brutally for speaking out or asking questions…only the leaders, their press people, and close associates had it good – sometimes.
WOW>>> really ALL THAT HOSTILITY> why don’t we all put our heads together and rise DA out of this “SHIT HOLE ” it’s in..
Anyway, any way, any way, you can know when a person speaking d truth!!!
If someone is sincere, they look you straight into the eye and say what is on their mind. D minute they have to transfix their eyes upwards and then look to the left and look to the right or look down and shift their eyes left and right or go to the extreme and close their eyes – take whatever they say with a few grains of salt.
Think of it. You playing bad and never expected some psychological or subtle intimidation? Come on man – that is the time to show all and sundry that you wet your pants as a big man and you would have worn the sympathy of the population.
You did not see guns but you know they would be carrying something. You have security guards , so tell us what they does carry why customers get fraid to steal your items from your helves?
That is just a show – a pappy show at that.
Stop blowing your pipe, Mr. Pied Piper. Stop creating paranoia and propaganda. Why are you so angry, man? Is the government of DA preventing you from bathing in the business tactics that people like you practiced unabated for so many years? Do you feel somehow that new and future business ventures in DA will eat at your profits and make dinosaurs like you obsolete? You are creating a whole lot of rattle/tattles like the boy who cried wolf. There has to be something more troubling you, man. Stop blowing hot air in our faces.
You are doing a whole lot of blowing without disturbing the dust on the ground. You are so transparent in your motives. Sadly, many people in DA are just eating it all up, because they do not stop and think for themselves. Mind you, I did not vote for the PM. However, I detest those who come forward in the name of an entire island just to disguise their ulterior motives.
Our Pm do not lie,He is an angel. He has done no wrong he is Jesus!
During an election campain , it was asked Who do you want:- Jesus or Barabas? the answer was Jesus.
Who do you want Skerrit or? the answer was the obvious
THE FACTS YOU HYPOCRITES, WHILE I LIKE HIS STYLE, HE IS RUTHLESS AND LAWLESS!
STOP CRYING FOR YOUR SUPPER, GROW UP AND STOP BEGGING!!!
@ smurfy stop ask these dumb questions,its a bussiness place and every one has there free and fair chance of moving on with their lives,we all get something better to satisfy ourselves then wi move on
DNO you guys must censor those foolish comments you publish on your medium,especially those coming from those inept and conveniently unlearned labourites!!the truth is glaring in their eyes and for a little red-clinic favor they will opt to remain in blindness and ignorance…Jerry , you a true son of the soil.you may not receive your honor for the work you are presently undertaking,probably not in this lifetime, but let it be known that your contribution will go down in the annals of history and people like skerrit,charles saverin ,tony ass-taphan(the arabic owl) and or their generation will be held accountable for the irreparable damage they have metted out to our nation..Jerry, hold strong and you are solid as a rock…they cant touch you my boy ..they cant!!the writing is on the wall..Remember coming events ALWAYS cast a shadow before them!
Jerry Brisbane is not Domincan, that family from St Vincent and Barbados.
backward thinkers like u that have the country so……. he and his family has contributed millions to the economy of Dominica through employments taxes etc…………………..READ A DAMN BOOK
This is pathetic! As far as I know Mr.
Brisbane was born in Dominica. If we take your argument to its logical conclusion we are not Dominican either but African and the country belongs to the Karifuna people.
Duh!!
free food for people who only sign line up.
I HOPE YOU GIVE AWAY FREE STUFF TO THE 4000 HYPOCRITS PEOPLE WHO SING YOUR PETITION
I wander how many times he himself sign it…;lol
Mr. Brisbane is a fool… he wrote the letters in an effort to ruin Dominica and then he thinks that Mr. Savarin was wrong to ask people to boycott his business. Mr. Brisbane I ask you to answer this which of you was wrong to make the statement? Are u mentally ill?
DICTATORSHIP IN THE MAKING!!
you know, i’ve got serious issues wit hypocrites and exploiters, I want any Dominican to go down to Brizee’s Mart and do your investigations;
1. find out how long any of the cashers has been working at that institution.
2. whether any of them are members of any union?
3. Go back to that place six months later and find out whether the cashiers who were there six months earlier are still there..
4. Then if you can remember who the cashiers were six months before, go to them and ask why aren’t they still at the institution?
Hypocrites and Exploiters
A TRUE CASE OF CLEAN YOUR BACK YARD BEFORE YOU LOOK INTO SOME ELSE…… WELL SAID MY FRIEND KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK
Jerry Brisbane i worked for you when i was in dominca and the treatment you metted on ur workers was not pleasant the pay was like workin in africa next to nothing i hope u are growing a conscience.
One thing these comments from the stupid red army members conclude is that we have some really, ignorant, ignorant people in Dominica.. There is absolutely no doubt about that.. People outsiders are also reading your crap. Do you have to make all of us look like simple, jungle people? Do you expect those of us who are oustside of Dominica to continue saying proudly that we are Dominicans?? I don’t think so! No way do I want to be associated with this kind of ignorance..
well call your americans .. dominica doh want you !
america doh want you either….lol
WAIT… let the dominicans who voted the members in have their say… Chavez has done more harm n destruction to his country and people than other countries.. When he can’t do anymore, he will then turn to Dominica n do the same to all YELLOW BELLY HYPOCRITES who were paid by the red T-SHIRT party. and then we’ll c who talks louder.
Jerry has just interfaced with the praetorian guard of a govt. office, whose expenditure now equals that of our entire health service. Paranoia?? Perhaps.
According to the “Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders”, the U.S. manual of mental health professionals, symptoms of paranoid personality disorder are as follows:
– preoccupation with unsupported doubts about friends and associates.
-suspicious; unfounded suspicions;believes others are plotting against him/her.
-perceives attacks on his/her reputation that are not clear to others, and is quick to counterattack.
-maintains unfounded suspicions regarding the fidelity of a spouse or significant other.
-reads negative meanings in innocuous remarks.
-reluctant to confide in other sue to fear that information may be used against him/her
Well PM can can i come join so that i can rule ,fool,corrupt,steal, protect my friends only,ect.The andvantages i will have ,
1) The educated people are to educated to see what is going on to the poor.
2) The poor is to dumb to see what the educated is doing.
3) Those who own business’s is to busy to see whats ging on
4) The so called religious fraternity is to busy praying and not listening to god when he says lead my flock and help the poor and take a stand against all forms of evil.
So PM this will be our manifesto for the next election, and i will remind them NO LAW OR CONSTITUITION CAN STOP ME.
Jerry and fool-aparts , let me one you that the 18 have not yet spoken that’s why you think you’re doing great . The tsunami will cover your your chariots mr pharaoh . leave the people country alone and take ur family and dig out of the people country . you look to be next savarin mr pharoah . you’re a complete failure and so is your business , stop looking for reasons to make ur company redundant mr pharoah . you’re selfish man , greedy man , your abuse chile of a wicked domestically abuse family still suffering from your dead drunk . leave dominica and run while you have the chance before the school of run start to run thru your veins , you said your blood is running , because you feel the betrayal of those you trusted to walk with you . leave my country alone , because you know the chaos the read caused in 79 . count how many houses got burnt . man leave the people country alone i fear for you , cause you’ll not be considered brave heart or martin luther but a fool who tried to be wise decietfully .
JERRY’S BRISBANE BLOOD SHOULD BE BOILING IN A CELL AT THE STOCK FARM JAIL TOGETHER WITH THE 4000 JUDAS’S WHO SIGNED HIS PETITION. FOR THAT IS WHERE THEY ALL BELONG FOR BETRAYING THIS COUNTRY AND IT’S PEOPLE. I SAY TO ALL OF THEM THAT WHAT GOES AROUND COMES AROUND. FOR THE ROCK WHICH YOU THREW TODAY MIGHT KNOCK YOU OUT TOMORROW.
……….. VERY WELL SAID, TRUE N DEVOTED DOMINICA, WHO BLESSED ? NO MAN ………. !
If u r such a freaking devoted dominican, why didn’t u take up your sword an done something more constructive, rather, u criticize. If u voted in the past elections for the corrupt Govt that is in now… who is more a hypocrite. Ur more to blame than mr Brisbane, ..of betraying your country. At least he trying to do something. SO shut the F up and do something constructive to help the people of DA
real Dominica
u are not a Dominican because no Dominican would want to see their country go down the drain! out politics aside and think of your country for once and stop acting the fool… in America Jerry Brisbane would be behind bars. the 4000 people who signed the petition are mere fools to support such rubbish
Labourites getting it REAL RAW, it pays to be one of the seven foolish vessels…now all labourites lamp oil finish and the same way charlo bring down labout in 79 the same way he will bring them down in 2011 or later…
RIGHT U ARE OR LATER………………. AND NEVER IS LATER, WELL SAID BLAH WELL SAID
Being a Labourite is the worst curst of sin a man could put on himself….thats the whole truth
they just way either educated fools or fully ingorant educately or just plain retared him the brain!!
Labour is just way too corrupted…thats why many of the backers think in the stone age….it shows when they speak!!….what a shame!
you are not god to judge what is worst of a sin. Judge not !
WOOOOOOW DID YOU CAME UP WITH THAT ALL BY YOURSELF, WOOOW. OH SORRY I SEE YOU WERE SICK N NOW U ARE “WELL”
Let me first commend the Acting Commissioner of Police, Mr. Cyril Carrette for his foresight and being proactive in this situation. You did the right thing Mr. Commissioner. We cannot have anyone come to the Prime Minister’s Office and play a St. Lucia on us. We all remember the killing in the offices of the St. Lucian Prime Minister. Was the St. Lucia Police proactive or just plain silly and only reacted to the situation after the result? Your strong no nonsense stance may have had the desired effect. Thank you.
As I read through the blogs, I’m constantly reminded that, “you all are blind” “you all are stupid” Can’t you all see” “dominica going down the gutters” then I pondered, why are the people who can see and are not blind and are not stupid, just stop a minute and say, “thanks be to God” of all the 69K + people in Dominica God has blessed me with sight, ears and a sense to discern right from wrong. You know what, in your next blog I expect to read from those bloggers that, “God is foolish to make all Dominicans blind and gave me alone sight, ears and the ability to reason.
As I read, I asked myself also, Is Mrs. Blomquist –Williams serious by going to the President with such a petition? But then she must be acting as a lawyer and is only present for her pay, but not for advice as to whether Jerry is right or wrong. Mrs. Blomquist –Williams I’m sure you will agree that to fail to tell your client that such a petition has no merit, of no consequence and will achieve nothing, and by your inability or lack thereof will cast you in poor light with some people who seek a fearless lawyer. Mrs. Blomquist –Williams is aware that the President is a distinguished Lawyer and former Court of Appeal Judge who holds a Doctorate in Juris-prudence (law) to believe that she can advised the President that he should relieve Mr. Saverin of his post is ludicrous.
Mrs. Blomquist –Williams knows just too well that, the President work (acts) to a large extent on the advice of the Prime Minister and that the President can only remove Mr. Saverin from office if the Prime so recommend, and that the same goes for the opposition, the President on his own cannot relieve any Opposition Senator from his post unless the Leader of the Opposition so recommends. So the question is, “Is Mrs. Blomquist –Williams either fooling Jerry or both of them are trying to fool the public?
Jerry’s complaint that he was terrified, my blood was rising, he had goose bumps and had to close his eyes when he saw the number of policemen at the Financial Center is childish to say the least. Jerry is again playing on the emotions of Dominicans, what utter nonsense and rubbish. Are we to believe that this is the first time that Jerry has been in close proximity of so many police officers? Someone is also going to tell me that Jerry is such an infant/child that he is afraid of the police? And finally Jerry was not yet born when the Defense Force was disbanded, and that he Jerry had/has never seen the parade of uniform bands on November 3 or even a State funeral since he was born in 2000?
One must wonder how frightened this Jerry must be on November 3. With almost two hundred police officers with rifles this guy would have been shaking and must have fainted. Considering that the police officers were without guns as he said, this guy jerry must have just dropped from heaven with a rosary and a white robe. Saint Jerry is the only person in the world now who has not seen a gun and has not seen maybe a dozen or two dozen policemen at any one time.
Based on all that I have read from Jerry and his lawyer, this is pure nonsense designed to seek public sympathy and to show his disdain for the Prime Minister. Jerry your flimsy show has no standing, null and void and of no effect and has no effect on me, according to some bloggers, “a blind me”.
i got you on the first paragraph but to tell you the truth that to long
You seem to have this faculty for analysis, but do you honestly beleive that the aim of this petition of some 3900 signatures is to get Mr. Savarin dismissed?
It is clear where you stand and it is your right, but can’t you at least give democracy a chance, however hopeless your present position may condiser it?
you must be half blind.
The PM was sending a message to you Jerry. Everything is on his terms. That is why he did not respond to your coming this Friday instead of next Friday.
The show of a police force by a govt. is a sign of insecurity.
What is up with all this paranoia?/ What did the police think Mr Brisbane was going to do to the Prime Minister ……….stupes man. i though Special Security Unit of the Police was for ‘special’ situations , they have them guys just wasting time doing nothing, what the hell???!!!
These people are paranoid… but then again, the Gov’ts close friends are China where there is No free speech and anyone who attempts it gets jailed or placed under house arrest for the sake of ‘National Security’ dominicans watch out.
take a step back and look at the big picture.. the man writes 2 little letters he is under serious security like he is a ‘threat to national security’ keep watching and compare …….can anyone say ‘communism
WAIT CHAVEZ IS COMMMMMING…….THey haven’t seen anything yet.
2 little letter ? are u people so blind with hate and if i say stop shoping @ his place is more than the 2 little letters ? where did u people come from…… under a rock !! So i see the world is going communism, know your facts before u open up ur mouth. You tell me who is not dealing with china, who is paying for america war ? who is giving other caribbean island assistance ? who has one of the world best n growing economy. well the world is going COMMUNISM. Well that’s to much for u to know. which country have gonna communism over the past 20 years, can u tell me what is COMMUNISM ?
THERE IS TOO MANY DEAD PEOPLE BELIVING THEY KNOW STUFF, THEY HEAR SOMETHING FROM SOME EMPTY VESSLE WHO MAYBE HAVE AN AXE TO GRIND DON’T FACT CHECK AND GO HEAD AND RUN WITH IT
The next petition will be one to have Brisbane classify as a traitor of the state, because he is acting against the state, not against the labour party. Did anyone check the signatures to see if the are legitimate. Did he expect to deliver his petition without meeting any security? then he would be saying how easy it was to enter the prime ministers office.
So ridiculous!…. anyone goes up the the 6th floor of the financial center anytime, why all that SSU when mr brisbane going to bringing his petition…………..use your brain………….see through the red veil
u damn lie! no one goes to the 6th floor at anytime! u have to notfiy the security downstairs of ur where abouts when u come to the building and they inturn will notify the security on the 6th floor that u are comin…who the hell is jerry?
First, I would advise that we need to do some damage control especially about this Brisbane-Savarin issue. Sir, remember that Savarin is not an elected member of parliament and moreover this guy is an expert in playing musical chairs such that he goes where the situation benefits him best; don’t forget he is in twilight years as a politician. We need to honor the people request on the petition and let Savarin go because he is dragging you down. This will shift the pressure from you to Savarin from the media while he is licking his wounds. Besides this guy is the perfect collateral damage to diffuse the issue a bit while we pivot to other issues. This will send a message to the other members of your party, the labour base and dissenters that you are taking action. Second, we need to take a closer look at every member of your party and analyze whether they are serving you with distinction, if not you need to let them know that you are unto their dirty games. Finally, on the matter of the Villas and Steven Isidore let us pray 10 hail Mary and hope that Bubbles and Isidore remember the MOU, otherwise we will have to resort to stage two of our plan.
Brizee is right! corruption all over D/A. Canefield is in total blackout. The only lights on is of the chairman,s jeep.suggestion. Sell jeep & pay DOMLEC !!!!!!!!!!
You know what if we are going to talk freedom of speech; then why are we whining. Jerry wrote, Savarin spoke.
Thats freedom. Grow up man all you “big small men.”
There is a world out there with people who really need help……….Stupzzzzzzzz
responsible people in such positions do not make such statements publicly.
as a official of the union once, he should know better.
A TRUE STATESMAN DEFENDS HIS COUNTRY ANYTIME, ANYWHERE, AND ANYHOW AND EVRYTHING JERRY DID IS OK
jerry the non patriotic economic treasonist what happen you could only muster about 4000 votes
just wait till th 19th and you will see the force of labour.
you want to feel important again, go get your super market wheels turning. with some goog delicious fries and less curry and salt in those dark burnt chicken
Thanlks for showing us what kind of calculators were used to steal the last election.
Even those not of age must have voted.
Proof of why ‘Scared Rat’ has to have so much nervous security!!
Paranoia. He have to sleep with one eye open in fear of what will happen if he can no longer keep the secret agreements with China and Venezuela.
Like I said….. CHAVEZ iz COMMMMMING…
It looking like Brisbane want to form a new political party eh. He have Singoalla as his legal advisor.. But taking into account how the Opposition working these days, he probably see an opening to be the next Leader of the Opposition in 2015. LOL
What was the pastor doing there noh? He turn political too like the priest eh? I thought the Pastor would pray for the peace of the Nation. What is his name again … Auguiste.. I would liketo hear from him about his role in delivering the petition. Was he a mediator??
MOTS where are youin the pic? what South village are u from nah? Inquisitive would like to know?
MOUTH OT SNOUT…YOU GRUNT A LITTLE TOO MUCH..THINK YOU KNOW IT ALL..COME ON….
IT’S PEOPLE LIKE YOU AND THE REST OF(UWP)UN- WANTED OF PEOPLE THAT HAVE Dca SO.,,,SHAME ON YOU ALL….
BRISBANE FOR PM IN 2015!
HELL NO>>> DON’T DO IT….
BBC Caribbean FAILED to report that Dominica DROPPED SEVEN (7) places DOWN the CORRUPTION Abyss in 2010. THAT is the News. DOMINICA Became more corrupt in 2010!
Latitude 810 and Informed: are you no brainers trying to say that 6% of our population is insignificant to our PM? I hope that is not what you are insinuating because this would be very telling on his leadership. Just remember it is the right of every single citizen to be heard by their leader and that he is the PM of Dominica and dominicans not of Rediots alone. Remember that this is 6% of our adult poulation and that this was not an election but a petition, know the difference if you dont. People dont go to polling booths which are at fixed locations in every constituency to sign petitions. There is no campaigning or canvassing for petitions. Oh and there is also no bribery and chartered flights of people to sign petitions.That is how ignorant you people are, can’t separate everyday issues from party politics. This was the effort of one man not a political party and he was able to get such a significant percentage of support. Your percentage analogy is mixing apples with grapes. Petitions are done on minute scale compared to elections.
Nonesense: you should give your advise to BJ and P Augustine that they too should have no part in rubbish politics but seek to live by their mandate to guide the population and not misguide it.
People I implore on you again as I always will, to educate yourselves and stop wearing your ignorance as breastplates to fight against truth because there will be only one result as truth will always be victorius. Start being patriotic and stop being party hacks
Well done Mr. Brisbane you and all those who support truth, justice and integrity will be vindicated and rewarded for your efforts, if not by people who dont see the right but by our creator. I will forever support those who represent these ideals not for party or peice of the forbidden pie of corruption but for country.
i hope you guys know a man lost his life a couple days ago on a motorcycle,
a man found dead in the sea at fond cole,
a woman lost her legs in an accident and might loose her life cause she is diabetic
and a 17 yr old lost his hand
all that only a few days ago but u guys still crying over something that happen long before….
People please you guys had the chance to take out the government and it fail please wait for the next general election and try again but for now lets look at the real issues and not comments made on the radio… Because if I labour and Edison James have a shop and it cheaper than Skerrit own i will buy by Edison so nobody cannot tell me boycott a supermarket, is were my pocket can afford…..
(Copied from BBC Online)-Barbados has topped the list in Latin America and the Caribbean as the country perceived to be the least corrupt in the region.
Its enviable ranking is contained in 2010 Corruption Perception report by the international watchdog Transparency International(TI).
Not only does TI place Barbados at the top of the Latin Amercan and Caribbean region, the Caribbean nation is second only to Canada in the entire Americas.
The United States is in 4th place while Chile is 3rd.
Globally, the Transparency International Corruption Perception Index puts Barbados at a very high 17th where it is tied with Japan.
By comparison Britain is at number 20 and the United States 22.
Three countries are tied for first place as being perceived to be the least corrupt in the world – Denmark, New Zealand and Singapore.
The only other Caricom state making the top 50 is Dominica at 44 – and the other Caribbean territory in that bracket is Puerto Rico, ranked at 33.
(BRISBANE and his MEDIA FOOLS canfool some people sometimes, BUT CAN’T FOOL ALL THE PEOPLE ALL THE TIME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
So far you facts are correct but you are selective and don’t give the full story! Over the period 2008-2010 Dominica’s rating dropped from 6.0 to 5.2, over 13%,more than any other country!
We all love to hear the good news but it is the other side of the ledger that needs our real attention! We could start by asking what Barbados does that we do not and use them as a benchmark to halt the slide and improve our performance.
M with u there sister…we r in the 21st century, and DA is back in the 15 century.Instead of dominicans fighting and showing such anamosity, we should all be trying to put this situation behind us and impliment what Barbados has done and is doing to always be ahead of the group. DA’s progress… I really don’t see much future unless we all put our heads together and work to a better DA.
AND ….. your point?
From what i can recall…Brisbane was a goof friend of the Governement berore so how now he vex with them. When they can’t get what they want they turn against the Governement. I dont understand that at all.
why do ppl say it tht way . this cud be true or it could simply be he doesnt agree with what governement is doing as well. say both
Big Yawn, one simple reason why he vex with them.
He asked them to deny Nassief the permit to open SAVE-A-LOT.
When the Government said they can not do that as it is unlawful and the man has met all legal thresholds for obtaining a permit he turn.
Every one turns when they doh get their way.
McKenzie opened his paper and he is silent now, but one little trouble and you hear him,
Astaphans or Whitchurch never complained when Breezee opened……
“Funny the way it is, when you think about it”
if that’s true well its just pure BULLLL
very well
and that is y Dominica will stay behind… if skerrit had agree to deny nassief to open save a lot then brisbane would be quiet as a lamb
THE POLICE FORCE SHOULD NOT BE USED A POLITICAL TOOL!! FOR LEAST WE SUFFER WHEN THEY STRIKE THEIR WEAPONS.
SHAME ON A/C CARRETTE FOR BECOMING SO POLITICAL.
WHERE IS YOUR INTEGRITY.????
Any right minded Dominican would share this sentiment and you are quite right in this regard
This is amazing….in a small country like ours, such high drama. BUT, it represents democracy in action.
Dominicans, no matter what your political persuasion, it is your duty as a CITIZEN to uphold the ideals of the nation, for they represent you. No matter whether you’re a Labourite or a UWPite or whatever-ite, you must appreciate the fact that there is healthy dissent in Dominica. Whether this display will get anywhere is another matter, but you must never stifle it, for one day the shoe may be on your foot.
Let me re-post a famous quote I placed on another news story here on DNO; this is so appropriate to our situation;
“First they came for the Jews and I did not speak out – because I was not a Jew. Then they came for the communists and I did not speak out – because I was not a communist. Then they came for the trade unionists and I did not speak out – because I was not a trade unionist. Then they came for me – and by then there was no one left to speak out for me.”
Jerry sounds like he had a plan but could just not execute because of the level of security. We have to be on guards for our dear Prime Minister when evil people like Jerry Brisbane want to approach.
Thank you Jerry-Our prayers are with you–you are not alone my brother.
you know to be aroused and I was quite aroused at the reception that I got,” he added.
it sounds to me you were having sexual desires
To Zuma
Maybe that too, but as you said in your comment below, that Jerry was frightened because of intense security, I wanted to point out to you that he used the word “aroused’ two times.
Aroused is an expression that says a person is ready to perform any kind of “forceful” conduct or behaviour. A “frightened’ mentality would send a person crawling into their shell.
I do not know what Jerry meant to say about his emotions because of security in his presence, but he certainly did not describe a “frightening mentallity or emotion”, when he said he was “aroused”. But if I was in his place, I would not use that word to describe my emotions to the public.
jerry Brisbane said he was frightened due tro the high level of security, whilst going to the PM office
my friends do you believe it is fair that all tom, dick and harry appear at the PM office just like this. with so much crime happening in dominica it is not safe any more to walk around far less to go to an office of such high importance
Do you think a prime minister should be exposed in this day and age to any malice or bad intent
just see the amount of hate mail towards the pm which is being posted.
what is jerry point
I am sure he has security officers at brizees mart watching the customer every moves plus vigilant mirrors in every corner of the shop
This is not the safe, calm DA we knew we all must protect our self
Jerry could be a walking time bomb……… just like they did massoud in Afghanistan
The pm expected an interview from a journalist and what he got an explosion which killed him
You know very well that a lot of people visit the prime minister’s office, Have you ever heard of such volume of security there? I bet no. I am sure if it was one of his female friends, not even the secretary would have been able to stop her. So stop playing dumb.
God Jerry Go, great work with the others. PM now is time , The PM is going to Re suffle his Cabinet on December 17 watch and see.
Remember Hon Justice Said SO
Anniversary time on December 18th 2010 so watch out Dominicans. The cabinet will be smaller without Charlo. Charlo political life is and will be history then
By reading some of the comments,It is fair to say a lot of DA people have on blinders or uninformed
@ Disturbed Young Woman
u so right,,,if u was wrong then i’d wanna be right,,,i’ve been saying over n over that snake savarin is the leader behind the scenes,,,savarin is the chief architect for all what skerro’s doin,,,savarin is undermining skerro so when the ship sink he will jump on the freedom train or try to wiggle into workers,,,,,,savarin is one of the smartest politicians,,,the reason i say that is cause a man don’t survive that long if he’s dumb,,,,,,this guy knows all the crook n cranny of the political system,,,,,so who’s better to teach skerro than the chief architect savarin,,,,but skerro will take it cuz he n savarin going out,,savarin have been involved in every main political affair in recent history,,,let us not forget that is savarin that championed the cause of the riot in 1978,,,when a young man lost his life,,,they said the gun was from S.S.U (which would incriminate the gov’t of patrick john),,,,the ballistic tests from barbados showed that the bullet wasn’t from the S.S.U guns instead it would have been from the crowd of protesters,,,,which at the time were freedomites,,,,so in other words savarin n his pals were responsible for the young man’s death since they lead such a riot without first seeking resolution,,,,,,,so all in all someone from the crowd fired a shot @ the S.S.U which killed a fellow protester and instigated a response from the task force,,,,,this is the savarin that’s leading skerro,,,labourites yesterday was calling for a gathering on 17th of dec,,,,i am saying that we don”t want any confrontation wat so ever,,,,,,so i trust that u all are mature enough to behave allu selves,,,,,,jump hign n jump low,,,savarin n skerro have to go
During the 1979 riot there was not an SSU within the police force. It was the DDF (Dominica Defence Force) that was involved in firing on the people on behalf of the then Labor Party of PJ. This time around it will no doubt be the SSU when Sheet hit the fan.
I know well because as a young student protester I carried stones from the Roseau River for the protesters. And yes, Philip Timothy was felled by a DDF member bullet as far as I know so the Labor Party already has blood on its hands. Will history repeat itself? Only time will tell. Hail Mary Full Of Grace………..
Jerry your experience has me feeling even more frightened, my fear of the state of affairs and the security of persons who openly oppose the injustices and illegalities taken place in Dominica is real.
Okay DNO,
You have pictures. Thanks. You can’t be everywhere at the same time
I am stunned by the level of arrogance and ignorance displayed here. I know that DNO may not post my input but I really would like Dominicans to wake up and smell the coffee. I am a young woman and I have supported the labour party up until now. People need to understand that just because you support a party doesn’t mean that you can’t cry fowl when things are going wrong. It is infact our duty to stand up against injustice . I have already foreseen Dominica going down the wrong road. Mr. Skerrit I have lost all respect for you because of actions in recent times. How many of us did History in High School? Well if you did you will note that Dominica is soon becoming like Haiti. Yes you all heard right. Like our sister island Haiti.People we need to open our eyes and become less politically blinded if not for love of country Do something to get Dominica back where she rightly belongs. I know my brother Rosie and Pierro are turning in their graves because this is not the real labour party. I pray that GOD will continue to Bless and Guide our Sweet Dominica because we have strayed from him and we have lost our morals.
Totally agreed! I feel the same way as someone who voted the Labour Party last election. At least I have acknowledged my error….
That’s Good not many people can do that
what the pm did y u must say that i dont think u are a labourite at all wolf in sheep u know what
u say da coming like haiti well all u have it to good thats y tanto tanto
If Jerry can have you crying fowl or crying chickens..not me that say, you that say…then you were Disturbed long before Jerry.
Check Dr Benjamin, he can assist you and Jerry
the righteous rise to bless their land……..what are you doing about what you foresee? too often we cry doom and gloom on our land. Who do you think is going to fry in the frying pan? It is going to be all of us.
Good men must speak when they see wrong and after that learn to HUSH.
It doesn’t even make sense to argue with you all. All I can do for my country is pray and i HAVE NEVER and will NEVER cry doom on my Sweet DOMINICA. All i Can do is pray because ah lass GOD help us ALL
Wow! Majority still rules.
4000 Petitions
60,000 people
lets do the percentages
4000/60000=0.066 x 100% =6.6%
looks like 18-3 all over again. It is in the percentages (%%%%%)
both men are entitle to their opinion but opinions are like arm pits everybody has 2 and they all stink.
Oh what luck for tyrants when citizens don’t think!! Hitler!
Yeh, it’s people like you who send countries into Police States. As far as you concerned, 4000 signatures is insignificant..well it’s not. Fact is, there are many more people out there, who won’t sign because they are afraid to be VICTIMISED!!
@ Informed 1
How many of these 60000 ppl are adults or are even eligible voters or have voted in the last election? btw, Dominica’s population is much less than 60000 for sure. Please get the stats of the percentage of persons who voted in the last general election and the percentage of that number who voted DLP. then you can add more value to ur feedback. It will turn out that the near 4000 signatures speak of volume.
if mr brisbane want’s charlo out .then the gorvenment should try mr brisbane in the cout for comiting this outragous act agains dominica and dominicains … what he has done is a capital offence to us than what charlo have said , both men was out of place so he cannot want charlo out and he stay ontouch i say no
since when freedom of speech is a capital offence? stupid . you should be greatful that mr. brisbane is voicing our opinions for us when we stand up there like MOOMOOS. better u listen to d calypsonian called third eye
didn’t charlo voiced his opinon,fool?so whats worng with freedom of speech
u fighting for a man that doh give … about you nor your country. all he doing is playing in your soft head
i have so much women i can’t and never fight for a man. im not a fag and i hate fags
This man just looks like a bloody fool to me!
Honestly…. i have no issues with him doing his petition…but now to remain in the media, he complaining about security…
Did he expect to just waltz in and dout of the office. Come on… they should had had him leave the document at reception!!!!!!!!
Tired of these big whiny men!
For God sake…does he expect to just walk right in…like Price is Right his on, to be told…come on down?
the man know wat he going throgh. if u was in the sam sh*** you would have done the same. stop being so ignorant on everything that is happening around u. open ur eyes.
I guess you are just “sexy” without a brain!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What does your above statement have to do with my point?
Stop being so ignorant — i guess i do not understand your definition….since everything aroundme is alot better than in Dominica. Everyday i fight for the poor man…but i am not blind nor am i stupid to the ways of the world.
tell which…which political office can you just walk right into?
I guess in your small mind- Dominica is at the top of the list, so i’ll excuse you telling me to open my eyes.
Dominicans are so blinded by the blue and Red, that they fail to think and see things logical
they just some over dramatic lil girls!
MY SIGNATURE WAS THERE! I AM PROUD !!!
THE PETITION IS THE VOICE OF THE PEOPLE!!!!
POWER TO THE PEOPLE!!!
it is the voice of 6% of the population. period!!!
Garcon you not from possie to be involved in that BS!!! Possie people smarter than that!!!
Do not put Possie in your nonsense. We know shit when we see it. Come better than that. Where is freedom of speech? It seems its for one set.
not all possi people that foolish. we voting labour all our life in possi we still not feeling like a second town.i support mr brisbane .i not voting labour again
small AXE fall big OAK Mr Brisbane , David use a slingshot and a stone to slay a mighty giant , when God is in everything is possible . THE PEN IS MUCH MORE POWERFUL THAN THE SWORD!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Good job Jerry!!………….we’re behind you all the way……..
that 18 to 3 causing problems wi papa. all you trying really hard to take out ppl there one by one. all am saying is be careful cause all you might regret. damn!
What did Jerry expect? To be able to walk at will into the Prime Minister’s office with an entourage of people including himself who have publicly spewed their hatred of the Prime Minister? These are the people (perhaps not Jerry and Singoulla) who would not spare a thought about bringing harm to Roosevelt Skerrit. Listen to them on the radio. See how many times they have made reference for a repeat of may 29th 1979.
Prime Minister Skerrit and the Minister of National Security would be fools not to raise the security level even if it were to make a statement. We all have at one time or another criticized the events of May 29th 1979. Even some of those who served as wiling servants of the efforts then have today swicthed sides and are ashamed of identifying with that sorry event in our political and social history. Interestingly, whilst they wished they were not part of the struggle in 1979, they are today the very ones agitating for a repeat. Can we really have our cake and eat it?
Mr. Brisbane you do what you think you must do. It is your right. But you must always remember that If you take on the state, you cannot expect the state apparatus not to respond.It is part of the territory upon which you have chosen to tread.
I wish you wellin your efforts
Exactly, them fellas calling for 1979 and then want walk in an out of the PM Office. In any other country Jerry would be arrested.
Dominica is too free…but I like it so…some people can really display their “chupidness” in the name of freedom of speech
Find out who were the instrumental persons involved int May 29 1979 , you will find out that the very same Savarin was involved
Thank you let the person be so informed that Savarin was doing the very same thing that Jerry is doing today OH HOW WE DOMINICANS FORGET QUICKLY,T he handwriting is on the wall people CHARLES SAVARIN WILL BE THE ONE TO BRING SKERITT TO HIS KNEES, JUST WAIT.
And plus jerry cant be upset cuz they want to shut him down….When he wrote to the donors he be shutting down the whole Country think of it so calll Smart Dominicans
this is the kind of “CRACY” you people seem to be developing in our poor little state.
Brisbane can take his precious time and say that any human would feel aroused at the number of security officers that stood around him. DON”T HE KNOW THAT WHEN A PERSON IS IN OFFICE TRYING THEIR BEST AND WORKING HARD TO GET THE COUNTRY SOMETHING AND TAKING IN ALLLLLLL THE STRESS THAT IS BEING GIVEN BY THE PEOPLE AND PEOPLE LIKE BRISBANE HIMSELF, when you write such a statement about the country and its government WASN”T HE EXPECTING RETALIATION??? IDIOT I SAY IDIOT!… that is just foul and stupid and he still want’s to take it further because the man make a statement. i would even do worse than Savarine and find a way to make brisbane pay… Brisbane seem to forget the push and push and push that the opposition did to get the Prime Minister and his administration to the CARICOM heads.. lol the kind of hearing they wanted.. i mean regardless if you did that peacefully Brisbane, CHARLES SAVARINE has done a lot of his country and those he could have assisted. HE IS NO GOD AND SO YOU ARE NOT EITHER, he cannot help everyone and no body can unless u have some superpowers in hiding, not even superman could in them fictional movies. so keep yourself calm and behave your little self cause all you people doing and even wanting to write to the UN, is making the country look bad and giving us A BAD NAME… stop with all you bullshit and try to live peacefully like country men and good citizens to make a change.. EVERYWHERE NEEDS A CHANGE and if we start as a little country and promote our warmth and welcoming like we say we are in DoMINICA then the world will take example cause we are not toooo small to spark a fire of change and peace!!!!!!!!!!
by al r.
You preople make me ashamed to be a Dominican.. I honeslty believe that most of Dominicans have regresssed. Lord have mercy! If I had stayed in Dominica I would be that ignorant and clueless? Thank God I left!
HOLD ON YOUR BRAKE PEDAL padna…. talk about yourself, because seems to me you are the only IGNORANT ONE here… I came and spoke about peace and you coming and put that IDIOTIC comment under my ting… hold your waist there!!!… you seem to be very ignorant and stupid to the point that you seem not to comprehend what i was trying to say.
ok the letter deliver let us wait n see if the president is also under the grasp of skerro,,,,,in the meantime i going n call a fine chica n set the date,,,yah a thick one,,,i mean only dogs that like bones,,,my date have a azz like allison hinds so u know is serious bumper,,,,here’s a link to see how allison bumping http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EPGdiIYzuUM
so once is so that girl bumping,,,, tonite gonna be a jamrock,,,,,woooosssshhhhh we gonna keep the neighbours up allll nite,,,,i always tell dem doh play wit my rod,,,,they call me horse n u best believe i gonna leave that thick bad chica talkin hoarse
you sure you not gay, you certainly sound so
please don’t be afraid to say hombre instead of chica
i thought the same thing.. don’t worry “mouth of the south” i know ur mouth wanna go down south so you’ll get some soon lolzzz.. maybe for christmas. here’s some to begin with… HAHA
mouth of the south Do you know now that you are showing your true colors. i do not mean your political
allegiance, but your mentality, disrespecting women, did you not read the comment before you post, shame on you. You always want to give people advise and talk about morals and you are behaving like that.
INSTEAD OF BRISBANE ON RADIO SHOWS EVERYDAY GIVING THEM HIS MONEY.. WHAT HE NEED TO TO IS PAY HIS WORKERS MORE MONEY THEY HAVE A FAMILY TO SUPPORT. TREAT UR EMPLOYEES BETTER.. AND STOP WAISTING YOUR TIME TRYING TO GET SAVERIN OUT.. CANNOT WAIT TO HEAR WHAT THE PM HAS TO SAY…….
DOMINICAN IN USA
Sometimes I wonder why some people migrate. I would expect you to elevate your social skills and rise from this parochial behavior. If you live in the US you have been exposed to skilled and intelligent debate. Why are you attacking the man and his business. If you open up your mind like you should you would offer a more intelligent blog. Maybe you should enroll at some college or maybe get a GED.
precious how can he give them a raise when the government in thier dictatorsip ways requesting a boycott of his super market? u must have been one of those paid to to give us hell on earth in Dominica!
SHUT UP!!!…. the statement for better pay isn’t only made in light of the criticism. he NEEDS to pay his workers better if they call for it. They don’t need savarine to tell nobody to boycott the business if LONG AGO people know how the workers were being paid. I guess some people just can’t speak up for themselves.
Dislike it 100 times if you all want .. is the truth!
u sound more stupid. had the public boycott would u be sorry for the employers
did I read right ???? Didi he say that the response “aroused” him…..HMMMM lol
I think that Mr. Brisbane right now just greedy spotlight and attention. if you so peaceful then SHUT UP…
AROUSE , TO STIR TO ACTION , A STRONG RESPONSE, INCASE YOU WERE HEADING FOR THE DRAIN.
To: hmm2
I questioned that word “aroused” as well. As Jerry used it twice to describe his emotions. Other terms that describe that word is “fired-up and fuel’. The best one is “intigate” meaning “activate”. Seemed as if Jerry is saying his mind prompted some kind of vengence in him. But on the other hand he said that the situation went peaceful.
Can a person experience arousal, according to Jerry’s terms, and peace at the same time? Or is Jerry continuing to present the person he is not, in another attempt to insult security control in Dominica, as a number of us refuse to discern his intentions for ourselves? I would not be surprised if you are the only one who noticed that term: “aroused” and peace being used at the same time.
correction: the word is “instigate”
WHAT A JOKE! LOL
Jerry your 4000 signatures not enough to fire Charlo you failed.Out of a population of 70,000 people you could only get 4000.you short of 66,000.people and all on Charlo’s side we will still boycut you because instead of all you fellars working to develop the country is just a set of talk talk talk, but the Government working hard cant you see the developement only jealous hyprocrits that not seeing that. wicked all you wicked Jerry Brisbane has the most expencive supermarket in Dominica.
CHARLO SHOULD GO BECAUSE HE HAS DISRESPECTED HIS OATH OF OFFICE AND BRING THE OFFICE OF THE P.M IN DISREPUTE.
I SUPPORT JERRY FOR WHAT HE IS DOING FOR ALL OF US DOMINICANS.
SKERRIT DOES NOT REALISE THAT THE GUYS WHO HE IS TRUSTING ARE TRYING UNDERHANDED TECHNIQUES TO BRING HIM DOWN.
VINCE HENDERSON IS THE ONLY D.L.P MEMBER TO BRING BACK INTEGRITY IN THIS GOV’T. THERE IS NOT ANYONE IN THERE THAT OUR LITTLE KIDS CAN LOOK UP TO.
I did a little math…
Supposing there was 4000 signatures on this petition
That would amount to less than 6% of the population in Dominica….i put at 69000
even at 5000 signatures which is just above 7%
Is that a good number….I mean it can be seen as only people that oppose the government signed the petition
a good number of signatures that should force a resignation is at least 10%
The majority of people are “do nothings.” Many people have not reached the courage level to stand up for principle.
@ Mahaut
no sense! You should ask instead, “How many of these 69000 ppl are adults or are even eligible voters or have voted in the last election?” btw, Dominica’s population is much less than 69000. Less than 60000 for sure. Please get the stats of the percentage of persons who voted in the last general election and the percentage of that number who voted DLP. then you can add more value to ur feedback. It will turn out that the near 4000 signatures speak of volume.
I guess we need to reduce the population of DA to 8,000 to acommodate Jerry. In that case his 4000 signatures would mean that he has the support of 50% of the population.
Jerry wheel and come again, 4000 petition what, ah out of 70 000 people living in a country and i bet you these petitions are duplicates. ha ha fire charlo, for what jerry.
Stop blaming skerrit for your mishaps, you doesnt even go by your own business because of ha ha ha, not u want to fire charlo for saying boycott your business. You are to quick to forget that you were to first to boycott your own business.
Right now the country could do without Charles Savarin. From the 1970’s Savarin has been destabilizing Dominica. When is he going to quit or has he been sent to be a menace to our society? Skewo, give Savarin a lump sum check and let him go. Charles Savarin is the only one from the 1960’s and 1970’s still in office in Dominica. Carlo you serverd enough it’s time for you to go.
Time for Savo AND Skerro TO GO !
But come and take them out na, stupes. Election can be called 2moro n DLP will still win, this time maybe even by 19, so i dont get your point. Skerro and Savo are here to stay, until the Dominican populist decide that it’s time for them to go and trust me this is not going to be anytime soon because we are satisfied with the work they are doing.
JERRY BRISBANE,
THE 4000 SIGNATURES WHICH YOU GOT ARE ALL UWP MEMBERS WHO WERE BRAIN DEAD FROM BIRTH. FOR I CANNOT IMAGINE THAT THERE ARE SO MANY STUPID ILLITERATE PEOPLE STILL EXIST IN DOMINICA SO AS TO ALLOW THEMSELVES TO SIGN THIS PETITION FOR FOR YOU JERRY. TO THOSE PEOPLE I SAY THAT YOU ALL ARE NOT PRODUCTS OF DOMINICA FOR ALL THAT YOU DO IS TO BETRAY THE EXISTENCE OF THIS BEAUTIFUL COUNTRY AND IT’S PEOPLE. AS WE ALL KNOW THAT THERE WAS ONE JUDAS WHO BETRAYED CHRIST, NOW THERE ARE 4000 OF THEM WHO HAS BETRAYED DOMINICA AND IT’S PEOPLE. TO THOSE PEOPLE I SAY THAT YOUR CHILDREN AND GRANDCHILDREN IS GOING TO SUCK ON THE BITTER SEEDS WHICH YOU HAVE NOW SOWN.
I feel the same way about labourites…stupid and illiterate…go figure!
YOU WILL STAY JUST WHERE YOU ARE JERRY WHAT SEEMS TO GRIPE YOU. THE NEW HOSPITAL AT WARNER, THE NEW HIGHWAYS WHAT JERRY.MEASURING OF WALLS TO FIND THE LENGTH AND SIZE CANNOT MAKE YOU ARE MAN. TAKE A GOOD LOOK AT YOUR SELF IN THE MIRROR AND ALWAYS REMEMBER COUNT HE FINGERS POINTING AT YOU. ONE NEVER KNOWS WHAT LIFE HAS TO OFFER.
The Mental Illness Unit is full???
Well done Mr. Brisbane…..Hooray for DA
they both are wrong i dont see any one askn him to close his doors boy them uwp trying every thing
they can but i still see work going forward god is not a police so what they want they just might get
it i wish if labour would just walk out and let have the house then we will see all mouth of the south

ADMIN its Friday and i’ve noticed that there is no more Mr. Nice Guy. Is it because he went political with his last 2 articles?
also where are the photos of the day?
ADMIN
Those return January 2011
I commend you pastor Auguiste for standing against injustice. While I have blamed many of our local pastors for their part in covering up curruption just for their personal gain, Pastor Auguiste has done the opposite. He stands for the cause of justice and righteous governance of our country and has nothing to gain personally. Pastor Auguiste is a Dominican with three young boys and a daughter. He needs to stand up for Dominica and preserve the future of his children. Contrary to what I read from another blog, Auguiste is not playing politics; he is simply standing against a statement made by the Hon Savarin to bouycott Breezeemart and I am delighted that finally, a man of God stood with the people though against the opinion of his religious affiliation. Well Done!
Wa papa all you really jealous of PM. That 18 to 3 causing problems wa papa. Who Jar bless no man curse. Remember Joseph and his Brothers, Daniel in the Lions Den and many other similar stories in the Bible.
Take it easy my people. Man proposes God disposes. He is our maker, ruler and guide. He watches over his people.
Never dig a pit/hole for anybody you do know who will fall in it.
Easy my people four more years to go. PM God be with you and your Cabinet.
Psalm, this is blasphemy and God detests that!! We have to cut off the head of this venomous snake that is poisioning our country and you can bet you bottom dollar that this regime is coming down. The pillars are too rotten for it to stand on.
You are blasphymous read your words after God…………………..
You are judging others it is bad thing to do. St. James warns us about the tongue.
You cannot have two tongues. Read the meaning of words before writing or using them
Be still my friend
You right is who “jar” bless. Your Idiot.
not even jah you can spell properly.
You are so right when you say, “Man proposes God disposes.” What Skerrit propose God will surely dispose. And fyi Skerrit is no Joseph or Daniel.
Congrats Jerry!!!! Although some might say or believe nothing will be done, I beg to differ from the stand point that government will be more careful knowing a few people are prepared to preserve the country good name. It is tantamount children not stealing or doing any other bad deeds knowing that their parents will give them a solid beating. Therefore, government officials will be forced to behave and do the right thing.
that is so true,skerrit cannot do charlo nthing bcuz he know charlo will sell him out.
all wrong is wrong. brisbane was wrong to send those letters. and he needs to realize that. if he say he is a faithful dominician how can u do such a thing. if the funding agencies stop giving funds wat going to become of the persons working in dominica? if is inn another country he did dat he would no longer be living. on the other hand charles should not have made this statement.
Remember the past they also said to boycott Astaphans and Cost U Save. So all those who made those statements should not have made statements like dat.
Do unto others as we would not like them to do unto us. It is a case of you must say and I must not say.
JERRY WANTS TO FEEL IMPORTANT ONCE MORE,JERRY SHOULD BE DELT WITH IN THE SAME MANNER AS US SECRETARY OF STATE DID WITH WIKILEAKS.
THAT IS SO UNPATRIOTIC OF AN INDIVIDUAL, TO TRY AND UNDERMINE A NATION OF 70.000 PEOPLE TO GET IN TO POWER.JERRY, HAPPY RIDDANCE, GO SET SOME NEW QUALITY FOR YOUR SUPERMARKET AND YOUR CHICKEN & CHIPS.
LABOUR PARTY GO OVER 12,000 VOTES AND HERE YOU ARE WITH JUST ABOUT 4,000 NAMES ON A PETITION, WITH THE SAME NAME APPEARING TWIICE AND SOME THAT JUST DO NOT EXIST.
WHEN YOU COME TO RED DAY YOU WILL SEE HOW MANY PEOPLE WILL BE THERE JERRY THE ECONOMIC TREASONIST.
i wish i cld be there for the red day but hold a flag for real possie ok lat
Latitude remember you need to go back to school. You still do not have a basic command of the English Language
LMAO…in a democracy doesnt the majority rule…4000 signatures out of a possible 30,000 voters, and a population of about 70,000…not even a quarter of the persons who voted for UWP or of the populace voted for this and you will expect the Government to take action. Please the will of the ppl is the will of the ppl..(and the UWP should also remember that)! Jerry u hve now achived your 15 mins of fame although from my calculation you hve gone way pass that, so pls move on and remember when u tackle the livelihood of 70,000 u will get it where it hurts the most….my grandmother always said (in patois) “say par parwall key met, say wapouse key met” is not talk that master is the response…u cant handle the truth Jerry, u did us as a country wrong!
MAKAC more would have voted if we were petitioning to overthrow the WHOLE DLP administration!
What democracy that little thing is democracy, there should be a shut of Dominica today. People not seeing we are a police state, the government no involve in telling the court what to do when it is their favoured person. Little man have no right in the country again. Don’t people see what we are coming to. Nothing will come out of this petition. I don’t consider Dominica a democratic state any longer, people are afraid of demonstrating, or even speaking against an issue. Since most Dominican have axe to grind they cannot speak, look what is happening to the captain of the boat in Venezuela. His sister is the one who spoke and see. What democracy.
WHAT HAVE CHARLES SAVRIN DONE FOR DCA…….NOTHING JUST SING FOR HIS SUPPER AND MAKE SURE HE ALWAYS HAVE A JOB….WORTH LESS I LOVE LABOR BUT THIS MAN HAVE TO GO
Here we go again! This is not going to prove or change anything! We know how the country is already my brother! Jerry check your business and family. Where were you during election? Your comments,views and opinions all makes sense! Why don’t you seek ways or assisting the current government administration? I think you should lay low for a bit, give your business the attention it deserves! Though we dont support the comment that saverin made this still won’t get him fired! Again you know how the country is my brother.
4000 is a not even a quarter of the population. Hmmmm. Let Lennox and Matt do what they do Best!!!
Keep up the good work Guys! Keep the nation informed!
I have interupted!
@ Mouth of the South….
Didn’t you say that you was going on vacation? Anyways glad you still around. Now enough of this serious thing i want a good laugh remember …..IT’s FRIDAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
To True
I’ll say! Nothing to laugh about, and I do not even agree with him on this thing that he has taken so serious.
it doesnt matter wat happenss….it shows that sme people still exercise their democratic rights in dominica and has interest in how the country is governed…..the protesters in london knew the bill could still be passed but that didnt prevent them from letting their voices be heard.! nick clegg is now under pressure n is probably more hated by the public than the PM himself..just because he went back on his word. i think the whole of dominica should also come together n sign petetions for electoral reform..
we do need electoral reform
We definitely need electoral reform, no doubt about it!
Dominica n Dominicans this is de way forward, i sign de petition n im happy i did cause we need respect in de land. Why should public money be used 4 private business? dis is nt right n we should stand against.
“Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter.” MLK, Jr. Thank you to Mr. Jerry Brisbane for speaking up for generations to come.
OK.. What’s the purpose for the presence of the man of God… These Pastors need to have the spirit of discernment so that they can tell the difference between politics and religion.Stop bringing the church into these things. I understand the purpose for the petition but no matter how we look at it, the whole issue has already been sullied by politics. Pastor, find another way to intercede to God on our behalf.
we call for religious leaders to be vocal,,,,when they do,,,we cry the same old oh church n state should be seperate,,,,,this is totally untrue in fact let me give u some knowledge,,,, do u know if u r on death row in the united states of america the pope can pardon u n u go free if he is sympathetic to ur cause hhhhmmmmmm i guess u all never knew but remember pope john paul 2 did it in Texas when he visited b4 he died,,,,two others have such jurisdiction,,,the governor and president,,,,,how does the pope have such influence in a foreign land,,,,well that’s 4 u to investigate,,,,there are powers other than the president who run the u.s,,,,,n e way what i was saying its the pastor(s) duty to be present as a representative of the christian community just as one was present on behalf of the farmers,,,,religion n state goes hand in hand,,,,for e.g nations with christianity as the leading religion has a democratic form of leadership,,,,,whereas most others like muslim,,hindu,,,these nations has an autocratic,,,communist ideals,,,for e.g in Iran the religious leaders share equal if not more power than the president,,,,,whatever has to happen involves them,,,so we must embrace religious leaders be it pastors/priests or bishops when they take action for a just cause,,,,in fact it is a shame on the catholic community that none has come forward with the exception of mr jolly
@ M O S..Nuff respect.
lisad i agree with you. mouth of the south crap u talking. religion should have no part in the rubbish politics that taking place. they should pray with their church to guide the country and help the leaders lead. why pastor have to present petition too? damn rubbish
Congratulations Jerry!
Who are we kidding. The worse that could happen to Charlo is that they give him another ministry. Maybe give him leadership of DEXIA. If Skerro axe Charlo then Charlo will cause a Roro. Mark my words.
this is interesting
And what will come of it?
Nothing
When you ask indirectly to stop funding Dominica,they have to hit you where it hurts.
If you used a blank paper then your business not involved, but you so damn cheap you use it and involve them.
He should tell the people that he asked the Government to prevent SAVE-A-LOT from opening their supermarket.
Had the government done that, would that not have been illegal.
Mr. Brisbane is suffering from dementia, sadly it is something that afflicts his family and he has an early case of it. I hope he gets better, I really do all politics and disagreements aside I hope he does get better. He is spending more time at home and not at the business. It would be nice if he gets healed and can get back to work.
This is the kind of rubbish that you wil see coming from no other than a blind and ignorant member of the red army.. One will be affected when the swamp of slyme is drained, and drained it will!
Well said ,IDIOT.Say thank God for Democracy,so you can, run your BIG MOUTH.People like you have Dominica the way it is.With all the praises I have for the P M,can we at least open up and hear the other side.Why do we always have a problem with the truth?
M Mr. Brisbane Sir, I salute you!1 I stand in solidarity with you! No matter what the outcome is, since Skeritt said on his cvlown show that he was not interested in the pitition, it will prove that Dominicans will not stand by and allow our country to descend into decadance.. It will also prove that our prime Minister is an arrognat, rude and disrespectful man, who has no idea what democracy means.. But there is hope!! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you on behalf of our beloved Dominica…
That should be at least 4001. how comes i did not get a chance to sign that petition? i woulda sign it 1000 x
Democracy is working; and whether we are Red, Blue, Green or even Yellow we should be proud that our country systems is working as a democracy
Lets wait and see the out come
tell skerro don’t hide we coming to his office godspeed,,,,i can’t understand he wants brisbane to hand in his petition at the same time when brisbane have to meet the president,,,,mr p.m have not given the people of d/ca any time he would recieve it today,,,but we are matching to his office hopefully he will be there,,,,to recieve it or if not his secretary
First I’d like to say a hearty THANK YOU to Mr. Jerry Brisbane for proving that he is indeed a true Dominican. His business motto (Where Action Speaks Louder than words) proves that he is a man of action! Dominican you should be ashamed of yourselves sitting around not doing anything but talk nonsense!
You put the government in power and do not know that you have a say in what goes on in your country? Too often you allow politicians to whatever they want with Dominica while you sit there and do nothing! Help make a change! Mr. Brisbane has paved the way step up and do your part do not sit there and do nothing. This man and his family have helped developed Dominica for so many years show some respect and if you do not have something substantial to say shut the hell up!
I’ll be praying for you Mr. Brisbane and also the entire island of Dominica God knows you need it.
