DLP is a sinking ship – UWP responds to Lagon meeting

Sanford said the DLP has failed Dominica
Sanford said the DLP has failed Dominica

The Dominica Labour Party (DLP) has been described as a ‘sinking ship’ following its public meeting in Lagon on Thursday night which focused mainly on the leader of the United Workers Party (UWP), Lennox Linton.

At the same time deputy leader of the UWP, Claudius Sanford, said the party is standing behind Linton, who is currently embroiled in a controversy concerning plagiarism.

“We are in full support of Mr. Linton,” Sanford told Dominica News Online on Friday.

According to Sanford, Thursday night’s meeting signifies two things.

“One is that the Labour Party is a sinking ship, grasping at straws for survival and we saw the attempt last night of trying to grab on to the whole concept of plagiarism,” he stated.

Sanford stated that the second thing Thursday night’s meeting brought to the fore was the importance of Linton in the political landscape of Dominica.

“The second thing, I believe, it highlights that our political leader, Mr Lennox Linton, is a very important man in the politics of this country,” he stated. “I say so because for a political party in government with an 18 -3 seat majority to organize and stage an event in the capital city of Roseau where they mention the name Lennox Linton over 1,220 times, I believe clearly is a manifestation of the greatness and the importance of our political leader.”

He argued that after 15 years, he expected the DLP to host a meeting to highlight its accomplishments.

“Clearly, the Labour Party has failed the country over the last 15 years and they are grabbing at anything to continue to get the support of the people,” the deputy leader stated.

Sanford said the UWP is in full support of Linton who has managed to restructure the party and has caused it to gain momentum in Dominica.

“We have articulated the issues that affect the country, the issues of unemployment, the issue of the high cost of living, the issues of lack of consumer protection,” he stated. “We have articulated of creating 5,000 jobs for the young people of this country, we have articulated on making Dominica a better place to do business and attracting foreign investment, we have spoken about revitalizing our agricultural sector and I believe the Dominican population is becoming attracted to the UWP and Team Dominica under the leadership of Mr. Linton.”

He said he is therefore calling on all to support the UWP.

“Therefore I call on Dominicans to embrace Lennox Linton, to embrace UWP Team Dominica as we continue to build and articulate our vision to make Dominica a better place to work, the better place to live and the better place to enjoy life,” Sanford said.

The DLP has alleged that Linton has plagiarized the speeches of Allen Chastanet, the leader of the UWP of St. Lucia.

On Thursday night the party held a mass meeting under the theme “Dominica deserves better, Lennox Linton must go.”

    It is a shame that a meeting had to be held all because of one man. Isn’t , or wasn’t there any other reason for calling a meeting? I live in the diaspora and i would like to know what is going on in the country, what has been achieved, and what are the future plans for dominica, not what lennox did. To me, that should be something on the side, not the highlight of a meeting. That is low and it tells me that there is not much going on, because if there was, Lennox would not have been the highlight of a meeting. Wheel and come again.

    Some years ago I told those guys five of them cannot be on one man’s back every second of every day 24/7 for years on end, morning, noon, and WHOLE night. Not even Satan gets that treatment.
    They made their money and fame by dissecting the PM’s life – private and public every minute of every day. The world is round what goes round comes round. If it is good for the goose it is good for the gander.
    One night’s response and allu bawling. Does that show Labour Power, or what? Go learn a different type of politics and come back.

  16. TOO BLIND TO SEE
    September 13, 2014

    I am trying to understand or make sense of some of these posts. Whether you are Labor, Freedom or UWP supporter, you should not condone the actions of the PM and his cabinet members. Do they know the meaning of Bastard? Whether it is used as a noun or an adjective, the term clearly suits them more than the UWP.

    It is obvious that there is a mad man at the helm of Dominica and Dominicans are TOO BLIND TO SEE that for themselves. All of a sudden, he has money giving to all village councils during their inauguration, where is that money coming from and why wasn’t it given to them before? I think that is the act of desparate men. They realize that their time is coming to an end, hence the attack on Lennox Linton! They have tried everything in their power to discredit Lennox and they have not succeed,so they came out on Thursday night thirsty for blood.

    The Labor party is affraid of Team Dominica, especially Lennox because they know that if it was not for them, Dominicans would be left in the dark about what is going on in Dominica. They know that when they loose the election, they will be held accountable for their crimes against Dominicans. Did you all hear the news about the ex Haitian President? We can do more than our share but not more than our time. All over the world past politians are being jailed for their crimes, it will be the same in Dominica. It might not be now but soon and very soon they will have to answer to the Dominica people. They will run but they will not be able to hide.

    They claim that Lennox does not have a degree; what do they have their degree in? How to lie, cheat, steal? If he is so dumb why are they afraid of debating with him, I think that for an iliterate, he is a very eloquent and that is what have the PM and his team running scared. They have all their degrees and not one of them is capable of debating against a high school drop out. What they have failed to realize is that there are many, many successful people that don’t have degrees. Lennox is one of them.

    Sanford I find you very laughable when you look at a party like DLP that keep taking seats from your party in three consecutive elections and you call it a sinking sheep ” a joke that man” I guess you see titanic as a floating ship but that’s not funny cause you all always see things back to front, may I remind that uwp has 3 seats and the record breaking DLP has a majourity of 18 seats and lenox plus spags plus Sanford plus all the members put together cannot touch Skerrit ,LABOUR KA TWAVAI.

    How did Lennox plagairize a speech when he consult on it? Now we know it’s tony Astaphans that is trying the same thing he did in 2009 calling the UWP corrupt and it worked. What Tony and Skerritt does not understand this is 2014. And with the advent of technology and making information more readily to people that trick will not work again. As one of the very few labourite in Marigot I would advice the steward of my party that you can’t use 1995 gutter politics in 2014. It will not work just look at the demographic of the Dominica voting public.

    Hey Sanfe I hope you read this comment cause I think you are making a fool of yourself. First I dont support the useless bashing in this politics of ours ok. I dont support calling Lennox Linton a bastard which means many things like boso lavie in patois and being born out of wedlock etc. Now, you know the meeting was to unmask Lennox Linton it was NOT to highlight the DLP achievements. Linton called young women prostitutes, Minsters Rapist etc and I never heard you condemn him. You are a lecturer at the State College I need to know what you will do to a student who presents you with a paper which contains information without showing references from which that information was derived or extracted? How do you think your students look at you in the classroom when you come out and support a man who has admitted to using sections of his friends speech without saying where he got the words from and he said what he used was not much, not substantial, but it does not erase the fact that he did commit the act for which you sir would have been expelled from University if caught doing the same. This is a man who said to this nation that he writes his own speech and chastises the PM for having speech writers only to be caught using a large part of another mans work. Remember Earl Williams leading you all into Parliament on the issue of Integrity while all the time he was using his clients monies, having none integrity himself. Sir, remember you are a man with qualifications earned from a tertiary institution where you were taught the rules and policies against plagiarism. Lennox Linton has admitted that he used the other man’s words without saying so during his many presentations but he has an excuse. I did steal mangoes but I did not steal much I only stole three mangoes. Sir you stole mangoes and thats an offense. If you stand by that statement that you have just made then I call for you to remove yourself from the lecture room at the Dominica State College as you are blowing hot and cold and will confuse our children sir. Just as Earl Williams had to go so to Lennox Linton has to go, cause he has failed to meet his own standards. Read and digest.

    The Labour Party is promoting a politics of hate and division, this can only lead to under-development and violence. Dominicans must be united in one purpose to build a fear and progressive society, where the skills and abilities of each persons is respected. Mr. Linton has a record of performance, which Dominicans can be very proud of. he has serve as advisers and consultant to many Governments and political parties as well as head of the business sector of Dominica. We are lookingfor a leader, not a monarch.

    I would like someone to tell me what is going on in my country. Last night was just so interesting about the plaigiarism issue. Someone answe me please. If Lennox Linton plaigiarised in his speech, what did the PM do in 2008 when he delivered his speech using the chunk of the late DAvid Thompson’s speech and delivered it as his own. Do your research people, they opened the can of worms not let the worms riggle out. Get a copy of the PM’s speech from April 23rd 2008 and one from Thompson of April 15th 2008. I need an answer. Somebody help. or should we even wotty about that because it is not important.

    Every time some of our IGNORANT Dominicans find a new word to add to their already depleted vocabulary; they run with it like they have just won the mega jackpot. First it was NOVICE now it’s PLAGIARISM. One would swear that by their bashing of Lennox Linton with the use of these two words we would wake up following day and the economy would be fixed and Dominica would be the financial Cinderella of the Caribbean. The anger and venom spewed on the political platform by our so-called political Smart ASSES is a reflection of the society that we have become and the future we are building for the next generation. And it’s a shame that our future generation of High school; College and University grads. behave like the political paro grabbing at any quick fix which is being administered to them. Mr PM you lack the morale authority to speak as leader of the nation and challenge any one on the issue of suitability for leadership since your latest outbursts and utterances paint a different picture.

    Last night was an agonizing night for me. I tuned in to KARI to listen to the DLP meeting and was mystified by the constant attack on Lennox Linton. The speakers I listened to spoke of Linton as a Plagiarist, but in my opinion, after hearing from Allen Chastanet of the St. Lucia UWP saying that they share common themes I have to give Linton a pass on this. This was not malicious and I considered these word from Chastanet as shared ideas from our sister island. Lennox Lawrence, whom I believe to be a lawyer, working for the government and representing the police has no business being on a political platform displaying a recreant act of presenting Linton’s words when in fact he should learn to speak better than hE IS currently doing. Lennox Lawrence should be helping the DLP to articulate the reasons why Labour should be re-elected, but they have no strategy now nor new ideas to move this country forward. These guys really think that Dominicans are stupid and that they can manipulate words to confuse the less educated. Lennox Lawrence does not speak proper English far less being eloquent. The problem with the DLP now, is a display of arrogance by some who think that they are so brilliant and this is the best thing before SLICE BREAD. People it is OK to share and repeat a common message as long as one does not take credit for its originality. It appears to me that the best thing that ever happen to Dominica is Lennox Linton being the leader of UWP because he has the DLP searching for a coherent message and exposing their incompetence and overstating the word “Plagiarism”. Where are the future plans of the DLP ? How are we going to make Dominica an attractive place to work, visit, invest and retire ? The likes of Tony Astaphan and Lennox Lawrence infuriates me because these so called educated men sound like empty vessels. Is this what a law degree has brought to Dominica ? Where are the likes of Jenner Armour, Eugenia Charles and Brian Alleyne ? my wish is for Dominica to find true patriots willing to serve this country and not pillage its treasury. After last night, I can no longer support the DLP.

The one word the dlp was scared to admit was WE ARE SCARED OF Linton but they came close to to saying it. Labour waste on Education; Yes we care; roads and worst of all Red Clinic.

    “an acusation that may not hold any water”. You forget is he(Linton) man who challenged PM Skerrit about his (Linton’s) exceptional ability to write his own speech and that he does not need a speech writer like Skerrit – at least for now. Days later he was found to be using excerpts from another other people’s speeches without giving them due credit. That is the issue. Ethics and integrity. High moral values – that’s it not the meeting. The meeting was a boast, a brag, about who can write their own speech and who cannot write their own speech – only to find out that the “boaster” was using other people’s speech as reference (including Hitler. Imagine a black man quoting Hitler) without giving them due credit.

But Joshua, Isaac bap or one of the more accomplished persons should have taken the party into this election. I strongly believe because of his campaigns to intimidate, insult and denigrate many different persons over the last 10 years will eventually result in the worst political defeat of any party in our country slating all 21 candidates. i forsee up to 75% of the candidates losing their deposit

    I would like to take this opportunity to wish Dr. Paul a speedy recovery. Not even Dr. McIntyre, Dr. Darraux or Skeritt remembered, last night, to publicly extend their get well greetings. I wish to disagree with Mr. Sanford, as far as I am concerned, the Skeritt DLP has sank like Titanic. To publicly dehumanize Mr. Linton by calling him a human tick and bastard, in order to win an election, is worse that taking a dive in one of the dirty gutters in Roseau. Unfortunately, Mr. Chastanet was thrown into the mix of mepuis, all he did was to support a friend and fellow politician. A certain amount of blame should be showered on the religious organizations in particular the Roman Catholic Church, because it isn’t the first time Skeritt has called members of the UWP bastards and the Bishop said absolutely nothing.

      What about rapist? Which one is worse? I understand one wrong does not make the other wrong right. A wrong is a wrong. Until you, yes you, can agree that to call people rapist based on an allegation that has yet to reach the police or the courts is wrong, then you have no reason to take offence if you are called a bastard. Until you, yes You can point to anyone minister in the cabinet who has been convicted of a rape charge by a court of law, then you are in no position to take offence over the name “bastard’ as it pertains to your leader. I believe the Pm should have tempered himself, the expression “bastard” is a very strong, but please go on record and tell your leader that he cannot call people names simply on an allegation. E.g An allegation of sexual harassment was made against him when he worked at DCP. That was not proven. He was never arrested, questioned by police or taken to the court on a sexual offence. No one in their right sense can properly and legally refer to him, especially in public as a “sexual offender”. He can seek redress in court. Why should the rules change for anybody else, minister or not?

      @365 rivers, before you talk look up the meanings of bastard. The word bastard is used to discribe children born out of wedlock we use it every day and it is not offensive. However the word bastard can also be used in reference to a dispicable, unpleasant or corupt person.

    https://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/577/01/
    Direct Quotations

    Direct quotations involve incorporating another person’s exact words into your own writing.

    1. Quotation marks always come in pairs. Do not open a quotation and fail to close it at the end of the quoted material.

    2. Capitalize the first letter of a direct quote when the quoted material is a complete sentence.
    Mr. Johnson, who was working in his field that morning, said, “The alien spaceship appeared right before my own two eyes.”

    Indirect Quotations

    Indirect quotations are not exact wordings but rather rephrasings or summaries of another person’s words. In this case, it is not necessary to use quotation marks. However, indirect quotations still require proper citations, and you will be commiting plagiarism if you fail to do so.
    Mr. Johnson, a local farmer, reported last night that he saw an alien spaceship on his own property.

    Many writers struggle with when to use direct quotations versus indirect quotations. Use the following tips to guide you in your choice.

    Use direct quotations when the source material uses language that is particularly striking or notable. Do not rob such language of its power by altering it.
    Martin Luther King Jr. believed that the end of slavery was important and of great hope to millions of slaves done horribly wrong.

    The above should never stand in for:
    Martin Luther King Jr. said of the Emancipation Proclamation, “This momentous decree came as a great beacon light of hope to millions of Negro slaves who had been seared in the flames of withering injustice.”

    Use an indirect quotation (or paraphrase) when you merely need to summarize key incidents or details of the text.

    Use direct quotations when the author you are quoting has coined a term unique to her or his research and relevant within your own paper.

    When to use direct quotes versus indirect quotes is ultimately a choice you’ll learn a feeling for with experience. However, always try to have a sense for why you’ve chosen your quote. In other words, never put quotes in your paper simply because your teacher says, “You must use quotes.”

    No wonder the DLP had to have a special meeting about opposite leader. Because his followers unfortunately just cant understand it, dont get it, and such a big effort have to be made by the Honorable PM to simple put some sense in people’s head. This man is really NOT what he portrays to be, and has us as dominicans thinking he is. My goodness, the most eloquent speaker??? copy and paste so many times because he cant write his own speech. So what is going to happen if he were to be overseas on Dominica’s behalf and suddenly ask to make a presentation about his country?

    Come on people, is that what we truly deserve? We were called prostitutes, our elderly called greedy and we are not seeing anything wrong with that? A man says to us he is not people’s person and thats and we are so happy with that? Isnt that a red flag of what is expected.
    Now for those who think that the meeting should not focus on him; Isnt this the same man who has sat at a radio station for the past 5 yrs, lashing out at the PM and disrespecting every person who is affliated with him? We have ALL been listening and hearing the radio programs for the past 5 yrs. I finally got it last night.
    So let me say thank you Mr Prime Minister for truly opening my eyes.

    Dominicans, DNO readers, read the facts about our current Vice President Joe Biden, of the United States and plagiarism, compare to what the DLP is making out of Mr. Lennox Linton who co-writes ideas, scripts and speeches with his longtime friend and partner.

    According to Wikipedia, Joe Biden announced his candidacy in June 1987, and was considered one of the potentially strongest candidates in the field. However, in September 1987, newspaper stories stated he had plagiarized a speech by British politician Neil Kinnock. Other allegations of past law school plagiarism and exaggerating his academic record soon followed. Today, Joe Biden is the United States Vice President, and may run for President in 2016. The fact that he plagiarized did not stop him from being Vice President, and that shall not stop him from running for President in 2016 if he so chooses.

    Dominicans please do not be fooled by these rhetorical speeches by these corrupt politicians. Be politically mature and make the right decision and vote these desperate politicians out of office. Imagine, Reginal Austrie told the faithful at the meeting that once you are paid to run, you cannot be a good parlrep. These are his words Justina Charles, Did you listen? He’s saying you are not a good parlrep. I guess he was sending a message to all those that Roosevelt Skerrit paid to run in the last election. He also told you that if Skerrit tells you something, you must believe what Skerrit tells you. How more incredible can this man be? That’s how the liars reinforce the lies they tell.

DLP IS A SUNK SHIP! Their supporters that are still alive are in the bottom of the ocean, praying for help. Thank God, Lennox Linton and team Dominica has been sent to rescue them, but like Moses, a few have not realized that.

Not because I support UWP I am going to be bias about it….plagiarism is a crimeI bet if you were to plagiarize at university you would be kicked out! It os a big deal! It is wrong! So a man want to run Dominica and he cannot even be original….stupes Linton….I feel so ashamed…..and there I thought you were the most eloquent speaker in the leadership position. That is why Sikorsky and remains the party favorite,….man of dreams…visions and original….you think skerrit can never have him on those levels.

    September 12, 2014

    If the DLP is a sinking a ship, well there is hope. We have a leader who can take his ship up to the Next Level. If not the DLP, well we can all forget it. Because if the UWP is what the coast guards are sending to rescue us, we are already at the bottom of the ocean and there is no hope.

    Dominicans would be far much better to be rescued on that sinking DLP ship than be on the ship with far larger holes that is closer to the bottom.

    Is he telling us that more than ten years of throwing insults at Dominicans and the Government and less that one year of responding and you are blue vexed? That is only a small test of your own medicine. Bitter isn’t it? But should make you feel much better. Take your medicine and do not complain. We know the taste is horrible.

    That is fair play; only that yours embarrasses us and we dear say you, much more. The UWP response is not unexpected. Really what else do we expect from them to the public? And then the UWP supporters have to really analyze that response. But they are not fooling us for one second. They have had to be as disgusted as we are.

    What is the saying we have in Dominica about a cow and its horns and entering a place. I cannot fully remember it, it is usually said in patois. Some please tell us.

    The problem is the Leader of the UWP does stir-up and twist caca with a stick and when it stinks they are crying foul. Who brought up speech writing and delivery?

    And what is this I hear of a Carnival Queen Contestant? Papa Bondieu? The more I hear the more unbelievable it sounds.

    Without being bias you must agree the presentation last night was great. Hearing the both speakers side by side was nothing more but genius and make us as Dominica see the truth.

    But it was sad too, really sad because not in my wildest dreams I would have believed the Leader of the UWP considering his “trained” profession would have done something like that. And say what you want the DLP did the right thing last night. UWP supporters may cry foul, but it had to be done.

    Who is involved in those secret, questionable deals?

    Trafalgar Land deal. Treasury defrauded of thousands of $$$$$$$$. The guilty ones run back to pay something after the truth was revealed.

    What about the Rubbish Bin and Fertilizer Bobols?
    What about the Kick-backs?

    What about the secret passport sales? even selling diplomatic passports, selling our diplomatic immunity to god knows whom? where all the money, nuh?

    What about ownership of the Villas? The same villas, the “bogus” owner didn’t know much about when questioned in court??

    Who was in possession of the French passport? remember, dual citizenship case? Who was afraid to take the stand, fear of incriminating himself?

    What about Felix Chen millions for investment to revamp Layou River Hotel?

    What about 42 charges of fraud filed by a lawyer against another lawyer? Case close? And the firebombing of Mano and his wife? investigation close?

    Who went to Barbados, behind the back of the then Prime Minister of his own DLP Party in Govt., to meet with Mainland Chinese officials, even when Dominica had links with Taiwan?

    Who leaked the PM’s info to the IPO? who made up stories to have Linton arrested for alledgedly leaking info. Illegal, right? PM say he give his partner the right to leak his info. But to leak info of anyone, given to the IPO, is illegal, right?

    But what about the $64,000,000.00, Petro Caribe owe to Venezuela? Where the money go? that pay back, nuh?

    Linton is a thorn in Skerritt and his DLP. Linton is hated for exposing with facts and evidence the secret deals, corruption, bad governance, influence/dismantling of “Independent” Institutions, like IPO, Electoral Commission etc.

    Too much corruption and illegalities to mention. The country drowning. In a Land of abundant water and fertile soil, the people are thirsty, hungry, jobless, bawling. A few are getting richer and richer.

    They fear losing the elections. They are trembling and desperate. Dominicans are forced, like it or not, to go into another elections without electoral reforms. What a Shame !!! The Electoral Commission, OAS, CARICOM, the people of Dominica, all begged for reforms- Voter ID Cards and to clean up the bloated Voters’ List. But for Skerritt and DLP Govt. Nada. Nothing.

    They lied to Dominicans about National ID Cards would be ready. The Electoral Commission, the Chief Elections Officer, Govt, all misinformed us. Took us for a ride. Where are the NID Cards? Free and Fair elections? Think again people.

    What is striking, the cabal just cannot mention one corrupt, illegal act that Linton has been involved in. that’s why Linton sleeps soundly. Those involved in inequities against their people, their minds could never at peace.

    Will Elections be FREE and FAIR without those necessary reforms. Never. Who want to steal, cheat the elections? In whose interest will it be?

    The Cabal will do anything, by all means possible? No Law, No Constitution could prevent ,,,,,,,,,,, But the people are awakened. How Long? Not Long !!!!

I don’t agree with Mr. Sanford, in my opinion the Skeritt led DLP has sank. The Labor Party Government has sank so low that Skeritt and his gang believe that in order to win an election they have to dehumanize their opposition. What has Mr. Chastanet done wrong, all he did was to support a friend and fellow politician. Did he deserve the bashing that was pelted at him, only Skeritt knows. After I heard Skeritt called Mr. Linton a Bastard, I wondered who is really the Bastard, Mr. Linton, son of a married one time school teacher or Skerrit.

So get back on track and leave PM alone – Do unto others as you would not like them to do unto you. God is a good God. He watches over his children. Guidance hope my not is printed.

    I listened to the DLP meeting last night and I came away with a mix of emotions.
    On the one had I was saddened by what I heard: the fact that ruling political party is so desperate and bent out of shape and with so little to talk about in terms of economic performance of the country, it would spend an entire meeting trying to demonize the political leader of another party.
    Second, I harbour serious doubts that Skerrit has much left in his tank; his performance last night reminds me of a man who has nothing left to lose and will do and say anything to deflect attention from his dismal performance.
    Lastly, election has consequences. Those who are as concerned as I am should now begin to reflect on the consequences of reelecting a leader who is clearly under considerable emotional strain, who is petrified at the prospect of losing power and has entered a danger zone into which he is capable of sucking in the entire country.
    it’s high time to ask the fundamental question: Whose interests matter most? Those of Skerrit and the Labour Party, or those of the hard working people of Dominica?

Anarchy is already at our door steeps.
      The admin has already put plans in place in case of the inevitable /possible.
      In my mind’s eyes I see the Sr.Counsels ,Portsmouth Gobbles(without the wife in tow)
      It’s more high time to ask the fundamental question: Whose interests matter most? Those of Skerrit and the Labour Party the Once named solid team which turned gaseous by 2000, or those of the hard working people of Dominica? We need a revolution but we are ill prepared.

Time for Dominicans to wake up and smell the coffee. We are locked in a box ,of poverty and lies from those who are getting very comfortable in their position, and forget they were elected by the people to bring the country foward. Can you imagine how low our politics have become with this entire nation talking foolishness about speeches , in a time when they should be busy getting proper air access in this country, better hospitals ,schools , improving wages , and generally lifting people standard of living . Time for this government to face the fact that our infrastructure is just ancient. Small mind accept handouts, intelligent minds encourage growth and development.

    Although I support the DLP, I think to much emphasis is placed on Linton. We should concentrate on jobs and progress already made. We can’t take that from Lennox Linton. He is obviously a well spoken guy. He can write millions of speeches and deliver them on his own. So we have just wasted our time attacking him…..

      I totally agree. If spoke of ministers protituting our young women who come for help an there are a number of young women who are willing to give evidence to that. Let be fair in our thought process, I have not caught Lenox in a lie, he consulted a the speech with the st.lucian guy so he can use it. But did the late Thompson counsult with the PM on the speech he gave in April, 2008? Please as a loburite I think my leaders have wasted a good opportunity to highlight their achievements in 14 years and the way ahead for Dominica . if they continue on that road I see them loosing even season labor items

    Well said Mr Sanford. Last night meeting made us realize how threatened the ruling party is of Lennox Linton. He is Skerrit’s greatest nightmare.

    Its a shame that the DLP builds its political platform on defaming the character of an opposition member. Dominicans should now realize that there is a certain amount of fear within the ranks of the DLP why they are so keen in destroying Linton. Let’s talk about the economy, jobs, national security, education, energy security, health, a free press, and leave Linton alone..It’s not about Linton. Its about the people….Come on!!!!

      Dear dear Rebecca Theordore if that is your name. Smell the coffee and move on. Why when they were attacking the PM day in day out you never came out – now is our time – relax, sit back and enjoy.,,We were informed on the developments of the country. You are just being bias for bias sake. He he he forward ever backward never – we are on a roll

      Very disappointed in your comment Miss Theadore as a writer. Of course it’s about Linton, he is vying to be the leader of our country . What is your take on plagiarism? The people were called out to listen to why they must not have lennox as a leader? He is a fraud, a liar with no idea of his own. Common Miss Theadore, you are better than that.

    couldn’t have said it better, plagiarism happens all over, even obama plagiarized, plus he had permission….these guys know their track record sucks, with so many scandals over the past 14yrs why didn’t any of them resign ?

      It does not matter who does it but plagiarising is wrong period! It is not accepted in schools and should not be accepted elsewhere. Just saying . . . . .

      Concerned I agree with you that Plagiarism happens all over. But when they do, the sources must be stated. Linton did not site any sources. Word for word. This clearly shows that he has no ideas of his own. More Power to DLP…

      umm if he had permission , can we still call it plagiarism?

      • huh.
        September 14, 2014

        Even with permission he still must cite the source. It’s that simple.

      which permission he had there? At my university the vice president resigned due to plagiarism scandal. She took another university speech and make it her own. When the education board was about to fire her, she resigned to save face. Big lawsuit now. EVen if someone is ur friend if u use his materials u need to quote him and give credit. Last nite i was so schoked that linton could not at least reframe the words. They taught this skill in english class how to sumarise and reframe sentences but since it has the same idea, u still have to say according to…. I think a number of u who r supporting plagiarism should take an english 101 class.
