This photo was taken earlier today as the sun began to set over the village of St. Joseph where a UWP Youth Rally is now underway.
At the time of posting a number of young speakers as well as some members of the UWP team had addressed the gathering.
Political leader of the party Lennox Linton was yet to make his much anticipated presentation to the crowd of young persons and party supporters.
Below are some more photos taken at various stages of the rally.
I support the youth of Dominica. The future lies in their hands. It will be their world when the now government has passed on. Let’s support all the young people, no matter what color they wear.
I reading this comments n SMH…… DA Labor Party will win this election yet again……
This is because without a clean up of the voters registration list the United Workers Party won’t stand a chance….
So Dominican it’s another 5 years for the DLP…..dead people votes will make sure of that.
Try push for the review of the voters registration list!!!!!
They talking about crowd; what crowd? Some body with a bike could ride through the crowd at ease! You call that crowd!?
Great Turn out!
Great Speeches!
Lennox Linton, Great orator!
For the UWP, this was the case in 2000, 2005 and 2009.
Seas of Blue and another great orator, Mr Eddison James.
However, a huge gathering in 1 location (constituency) may not translate into Wins in at least 11 constituencies.
Yes, the party leader will help his candidates score some points, but can UWP feel confident and name 11 or more seats that they Will Win when elections are called ?
Or more to the point, can they name 8 DLP held seats where they will remove the incumbent?
Ok, I can hear the Uwpites refrain:
“Yes We Can!”
The works of that EVIL and WICKED labour skerrit government and thier supporters…those that benefitting handsomely while the rest of us suffer..MUST AND WILL COME TO AN END……….DOMINICA MADE A GRAVE MISTAKE WHEN THAEY PUT THAT ABUSED AND NEGLECTeD BOY TO RULE DOMINICA….OUR TEARS AND THAT OF OUR CHILDREN ARE UPON HIM
This is so beautiful, lovely, decent democracy in action
Messages clean and issues addressed
God luck and well done Youth of Team Dominica
From since 2005 workers have been singing this same song we win ,labour fene, fear no more ,always counting chickens before they are hatched but in the mean time “LABOUR KA TWAVAI”
My messages, responses are not published, now for over one month……whats the matter?
Beautiful, really beautiful…extremely beautiful decency in politics……I like this….I really like this
Congratulations to the youth of UWP and Mr. Anwar. Great job. Can the DLP youth put up such as rally? If they do that would be nice and interesting.
The future is in the hands of our youth- not in those of Austrie, Ron, Lennox or Skerrit. We need them all.
Labor Party is planning a youth rally in St Joe next week all Laborats come to St Joe on arsday June 36 2014. Boy see laborats show up on arseday.
United Workers Party are INDEPENDANT people. We pay our way to St joseph unlike LABORITES who had to be paid to be there. After years of victimisation I pray to god to delver us from this pharoh who is upon us.
I believe if skerrit take out petter pepper and put a next person to contest the general elections my constituency would have a better chance of winning, trust me he is not a peoples person and is not working at all!
Speak the truth, if u say Peter is not working in his constituence you are surely a UWP. PM is not going too replace him because he is a winner already, back off.
For my 2 year old daughter sake, for your children’s sake, for our sake, let us vote the DLP out. Wrong is wrong. Enough is enough. Donkey does get tired too. Please I implore us as Dominicans to get the Labour Administration out.
I like the fact of them saying *Youth Rally* the youth that had no experience in the life style of the UWP ruling this country.Yet the youth be blasting of shouting workers.These youth are stupid they just turned 18 yet they are ready to judge some of them can’t even make there own breakfast but they want to vote. UWP is continuously fooling or youth they know they have never been in experience with them but i’m not gonna be fooled by them
but u wuld want dem to vote the DLP thou hmmm smh
Skeritt is not perfect but he is the best we got it’s better to know what we have we never know what we are going to get Skeritt is a good man we all have our faults Labor all the way Labor party is who bring this country from where it was way back in the 70’s through today
Are you afraid of change? You prefer to have a rotten apple than no apple at all, You want to stay with the devil you know? Even DLP claingthat they are “change” and I say “no” to rotten apples and the devil! I am persuing excellence!
I am not a big political talker but I find DNO has been publishing bias news. Why you may ask? What’s the reason/motive to stay in one position and take out several pictures at various interval. Is either you publish a picture with the news or don’t at all.
While I may not be a big political talker I must say that last election was my first time I voted and I voted the DLP. At this very moment I know that next year if God spare I will not be voting the DLP.
People fail to realize that they are not to vote for someone because they like them, or because it’s their cousin boyfriend uncle. They have to vote for someone who is genuinely looking out for the best interest of the Country and it’s people.
I red red ready for a change. P.S.
Workers supporters really know how to poulate DNO with comments and likes and dislikes papa. Sadly though this (like the last elections) will not get you guys victory on polling day
UWP people gets carried away after all convention and when results of election comes they like to cry and say is cheat…..
Convention crowd cannot win elections.. Constituencies vote win sits…
Even though whole of FondCole came out last night where are these votes going to Lennox? Where is Lennox running?

After 2009 convention crowd of workers in St.Joe, nothing suprises me… Crowds dont win election.
Put Salybia and La Plaine too. So Labour 21. Workers 0….
START THE JUMP UP! YOUR CLOWN!
Look at the labour party pics. The people were squashed together and the back went on forever. There was a least three times more people at the labour convention so I don’t know where you going with your ocean of blue. Labour done win, sorry.
People if you base you comments on what you see — Driving vehicle and house and think is bobol or etc, you probably have not heard about the banks and the Credit Union? They give loans to persons to build their house or expand etc or buy vehicle… I would let some of you see the amount of loans that some person are under to build or buy a vehicle. Some of those person make some ultimate sacrifices to pay their loans.. They do not go to parties like some of you: They do not purchase certain thing that are not necessary like some of you … Their salaries go straight to the bank to pay their loans religiously every month. They even sometimes take loans to buy their children school books and clothes at the beginning of the school year . Then you seat on the side and doing nothing and get jealous of them. Come on I am sure, you have got talents.. you can do something on your own … Crotchet , make clothes, farming even backyard (the Haitians taken over due to the laziness of some of our folks) cakes , ice pop and there are many more and I am sure when you start your little business, you can and will get help (there are organisations doing such) Stop always wanting to buy an outfit every week and always seewoing here there and everywhere … Check your priorities and you will see what steps you will make … Stop judging person by looking at their home and their vehicles… You can start small and save you can have one too. You can order direct from Japan as well… You can save there as well.
Have you not seen that a person who has money is always neatly and simply dressed not those extravaganza that some person like to have etc. Priotorize , priotorize and you will see what headway you will make.
Also some of the things that were said, have already been in place. for example Early Childhood education. I have not been disrespectful but just pointing out certain things. I heard no new things said .. For example criticizing that the Gov’t is subsidizing the college Students… Then later on saying that school should be free… What a contradiction. But one should know that the country cannot run on freeness .. Persons have to pay for services… The public servants have to be paid … When taxes are abolished, where will the money to do projects and pay especially the service persons (civil servants) come from. We need to hear how will the money be raised. Apart from grants from friendly Government and organisations, a country has to raise their own taxes.
Government is a social and service organization where monies are to be raised.. it is not a buy and sell entity where you buy and sell at a profit and you use the profit to reinvest or to pay expenses.
Juggling your brains to think that it is ok to talk but reality is it is not easy to run a country so stop making persons see this as easy as giving them this and that etc. The truth must be told and the young people must read the news and learn by so doing. It is a bigger picture of running you home. If you do not earn, can you spend.
Just saying!!!!!!
How can one look for family licence for the youth of 16 years to be able to drive? I heard on the air that students of 15, 16 (teens) cannot even follow simple examination instructions. Have you been listening to the news or reading the internet, you will see of many teens dying in vehicular accidents (as many as 6 of them age ranging 14 – 17 years. So my take, driving vehicles is not priority for the young people. They need to be taught Godly principles first. To respect authority; to take their school work seriously: to be able to use their commonsence more; Mental arithmetic in the absence of calculators; to be able to write their Name, addresses etc on examination papers so they will not fail (follow the instruction on the examination paper). They will eventually reach 18 years.
So now, we want those same youth to take their parents vehicle (16 and 17 years) to go partying (when they should be studying) and next we hear of accidents here there and everywhere? The teenagers need to be taught to talk in proper sentences and not those kind of abbreviated words that no one can understand except themselves. People let us get serious with our teenagers … Teach them the important lessons – Love and Respect of God the Father who created the Heavens and the Earth… Respect of the Elders and those in Authority. If they respect the Most High, then there is no way and I mean no way, they will disrespect authority and others.
They will eventually love us for those things taught and mind you they will soon be at 18 so then the drivers Licence.
Partner let teenagers be teenagers – the formative years ….. it is already difficult years for them. Now why put they should drive at 16 years reminds me of the age of consent to 16 (They are not yet adults)
Person who wants vote should stop and take stock of what they say to the youth just for their votes (promises and promises). School is their priority whether the Government subsidise or not.
Now one last thing, remember the monster we create, will come back to haunt us. How can you ask the young ones to disrespect others … They will turn on you if and when you become in authority too. Just warning and giving my take.
I heard person on air call people “veymin and other derogatory names”. What is that?? Would you like to me called by such names if you become Leader as well?
Despite the many attempts by the political handlers and operatives of the labour party (pastors, priests, business owners, etc. ) to prevent and discourage the young people from attending the Youth Rally of the UWP, the rally was still a major success. The young people have come to realize that the NEP is just a political gimmick to get their votes. Most of them understand that this bogus programme is not sustainable and will not solve their chronic economic situation; if anything, it might just get it worse because of what some of them are required to do for that so called job. Tillman Thomas’ government in Grenada spent much more than Skerrit is now spending on a similar programme and still lost the 2010 election. The young people of Grenada saw through this bogus scheme and gave their support to the opposition. I’m sure the young people of Dominica will do the same!!
Since UWP is dying in the Salybia Constituency, Claudius and UWP failed to have a political “train” for St Joe. The few vehicles they had were mostly empty. It was shameful so they did not travel together. When compared to the many fill vehicles in DLP “train” one can confidently say, Casius Darroux IS A SURE WIN for DLP in the Salybia constituency.
One is left to wonder why when Lennox Linton says those degrading things about people of this country and people voice their concern UWP supporter and Q95 tend to be very protective of Lennox saying what Lennox said was taken out of context and when is someone else in the DLP their’s are taken in context by the same UWP supporters.
Just an example; Austrie said, Monelle likes cow meat…Gisel,Q95 and the UWP supporters made an issue out of that until Woman’s Council got involved.
Today, Lennox Linton is spelling out the word prostitution to the youths and woman of the country telling them they are prostituting themselves to MINISTERS of government for help.
Of the above two sayings, which is worst?
Someone likes cow meat? or
People prostituting for help?
Lennox knows that a prostitute is a whore..( a noun)
To offer onself or another for sexual hire is Prostituting..( verb)
So what is really taken out of context?
I was there and honestly if there were 1,000 people it had a lot.
I walked through Layou and the place was dead i was disappointed cause when it was the DLP all Layou was pack with people. When i reach St. Joe i literally had to go on the savanna to realize the crowd, all the tents were on the savanna which closed it in so the 700-800 people gathered there would make it look full, DLP had no tents on the savanna and it was full. Outside by the St. Gerards hall had a few people and a lapo kabwit, nothing to talk about say 50 people tops, with the DLP you couldn’t walk without knocking somebody is ‘excuse me please’ right through, i could just walk without touching anyone. getting into the village was a bit difficult because of a small blocko on the street with around 30 or so youth from st. joe, once you crossed that then the village was basically empty easy to walk around. I went up to the church quite easily compare to the DLP that area was impassable the entire road was blocked with people.
Watching the view from the church you could see the true picture of the park, you could actually see how empty it was.
As a photographer i can understand how these pictures were taken to make it look huge but it was nothing compared to the DLP honestly, they had 1,000 tops, good effort though because according to them it was only a ‘Youth Rally’ not a ‘National rally’ so i guess there were little or no mobilization right? So when is the real rally schedule for? That’s what i want to see.
I was not impress at all!!!!!
A Youth Rally?..Really?..Well one don’t want to see when those (UWP) youths come old.
Well next Labour rally will have more pple because I will be there. I will be there to hear the Pit Bull take out all the skeleton and zandoli in the one on the other radio station closet.
its amazing that UWP think they gonna win… o plz… i have three young girls.. im hearing the leader of the uwp talkin bout dominicans girls and prostitution.. and THATS the leader u fools want.. lol… get real…lol.. fool urselves.. sure u all have more voters than last election.. but a win? ha? wake up.. its NOT gonna happen
Based on what came from the rally last night and what has been echoed by many young persons, it is clear that our leaders have failed us and defiled our land. What is even worse about the situation is that no of those leaders one can open their mouth or take any disciplinary action, because it seems as though the entire tree is faulty from top to bottom. What even hurts the most is the way the church has remained silent. The same BIBLE that condemns witchcraft is the very same bible that condemns: Fornication, Adultary, Prostitution, Theft, Corruption and injustice. Where is the church? What are those so called Men of God saying? I know they all have youth group, women’s group and men’s group. Are they not hearing the cries of the people? Have they turned a blind eye and treat it like a lie? Or is it because the gifts they have received from leaders have blinded their eyes? Dominica is in serious trouble and if we don’t change the course we are going in we will regret.
In all fairness, when I compare the comments from both rallies, the ppl who were at the UWP rally spent more time posting comments about crowds than paying attention to the rally.2) the dlp rally photos were smaller.3)UWP comments were more bashful.
I believe we miss the message there; You see labour is more about material things, who can do more, who can give more, who have money, comparing stage (and they doe pay for theirs yet); it was only a youth rally and of course they invited their support – so what is wrong with dat. the adults turned out to support – its all about TEAM WORK. Isn’t sad though that Skerro is not frightened, no fearful, yet still he deploys his men on the grounds to take pic of whose there (so he can victimize next day) get information, etc. Why do that when you believe you are the all strong and mighty.
A number of labourites came in to gather information; there was a difference though, the mepwe and thing labour believe in was not existent. I believe they did a damn good job at planning.
It was indeed a youth rally – the youth was in charge with the support of their family, friends and other team members.
way lay lay that don’t impress me much!! uwp rally was nothing compared to the dlp.lennox take a rest.atleast you gave it your best shot.
Can’t really see any reason for all the blues excitement. What happen, you guys were expecting a lower turnout or what? Isn’t this pretty much the usual blue crowd anyway? If I may recall, the last major blue rally in St. Joe during the 2009 elections had much more people, yet what was the results??? Secondly (and don’t bring the youth thing because it is obvious this WAS a major rally and not a youth rally. And I know of numerous buses which were paid), What was the demographics? As usual much of the crowd came from only a few areas of the country, mainly Roseau catchment area and a few north-eastern communities (Salisbury being close by obviously factored in). Yet the crowd still couldn’t compare to the May Day sea of red. So it is clear to me my friends that notwithstanding the obvious excitement of the blue paronia, it equation whenever the date is announced will most likely be another 5 years for the DLP. Sorry to disappoint you guys!!!
Labour suck it to you, look your water falling down…LABOUR MUST GO!
Goo goo gaga must be taking his Prozac. I want them to know that we will insure that team Dominica prosecute all those volere.
Make way for the blue..! Youth in it tooo..!
Change is a MUST..!
Make way for the blue..!
Change is a MUST..!
You people are making comparison of crowds on may 5th and yesterday may 25th…….did you compare the speeches too? ……….This was just historic. I think you should take some time out to really commend the youth for such brilliant speeches and for the large turnout never seen before in this country. Forget about the large crowds and remember who were there and what was done……plain and simple. Hats off to the youths……….whether you are green, red or blue please take your hats off to them. Monelle Williams really put the icing on the cake with that great speech eh!!! To sum this all up the young people of Dominica are fully aware of what is happening to them and the country and are in dire need of solutions to their problems.
DNO Please stop cropping the pics! And give us a real picture of the size of the crowd in ST. Joe.
Seeing that u all are so bias!
I must give it to Mr. Linton, he can deliver a good speech. Well done sir. Very fitting. The part about protecting women really touched me. We need to love and respect our women, and you spoke candidly about these abusive politicians taking advantage of the poor and needy.
But people that’s no crowd at all . we are talking about the day of elections, when we will be all listening to the results. As a matter of fact Workers always ready for elections but they are always being held with their trousers down. This time they will hold Lennox with his hands in his drawers looking for a trousers. we voting LABOUR BABY.
where are the youths, only hard backs am seeing dere. If is a youth rally it should only have youths. Am stop saying ppl pay there buses. Buses were paid for them.
Labour Seats: Soufriere, Grandbay, Petite Savanne, Newtown, Roseau Central, Roseau North, Roseau Valley, Cottage, Portsmouth, Vielle Case, Castle Bruce, Paix Bouche, Mahaut, St. Joseph, Carib Reserve, Colihaut. thats a sure win for Labour.
Laplaine and Grandfond is labour all way.
BREAKING NEWS out of Vieille case!!!!
DMITRI has just revealed the date. He told her to tell us that DADDY lost the election date and will drag it unti election calls itself because St. Joseph last night frightened him. Remember this from Skerrit ” The prime minister joked that the only person he has whispered the election date to was his five-month-old son, Dmitri.” Oh Dmitri, you talking too much and you’ve grown too fast
Come guys, I’m hearing people complaining “oh how they can bring an innocent baby into their thing”
Ok get this, if a defence attorney puts his client on the stand and poses questions about the clients past to the client…..then the prosecutor comes and start using the client’s past to continue to ask question. If the client’s attorney says “objection” to use of the client’s past …..what do you think the presiding judge will say????? Over-ruled!!!!!! Why???? Because the prosecutor opened that door for the form of questioning.
ALL THIS TO SAY, SKERRIT BROUGHT HIS SON INTO ALL THIS, WITH HIS DISRESPECTFUL AND RIDICULOUS STATEMENT; HIS 5 MONTH OLD SON HAS THE ELECTION DATE……..NOT EVEN HIS OTHER MISTERS!!!!
I don’t get carried away by crowds because crowds don’t win elections; it’s all about ground work. However, based on what I saw in ST Joseph last night, bearing in mind many civil servants who are UWP supporters as well as many UWPites that are taking all they can get from Skerrit, are afraid of being victimized, and therefore did not go to St. Joe and compare the political hype Skerrit got in St. Joseph on Labor Day, I can see the Skerrit I know passing through Marigot to get to and from Vielle case. Skerrit will not want to use the EO Leblanc Highway to Roseau because when he gets to St. Joseph he will be reminded of the UWP Youth rally and that will get him depressed and oppressed.
Change is a must labor want to compare but they can’t compare a youth rally to a national rally and our own was still better
This was the best really gave me hope for the future of women in Dominica
No longer an option because i feeling it CHANGE MUST COME
so when labour had there rally they checking boy look ppl workers can never win NOW dey see workers YOUTH rally they checking oh oh a crowd doesn’t mean anything WOW!!! So all you crowd meant something NOW WORKERS CROWD MEAN NOTHING RIGHT??? lol most ppl who was dere came but had to pay there way eh unlike with labour where they had to pay all you way for all you so which had d most true crowd??
The Monday morning after the rally, I find this story is very low on the board. Yes I DNO, but nothing can stop us now
A labour sopporter called between u and me and cursed live on national radio.my god that is all those labourites about maypwi and gutter politics shame on all u .All u kia handle the truth.doe worry wen workers win all who afraid to talk will talk!!! All the young women who are being used by ministers in government will talk and jail will be a real be a reallity .that’s why change is a must.crazy use to blasssss the pm so much now he is his best friend. We doe want u for friend.keep on interfering with a signal but the message has been delivered already everybody knows that change issssss a mussssst! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
DNO can you publish the uwp youth rally speeches for Lennox Linton, Monelle William and Anwar Cadette…
I was not at the UWP YOUTH RALLY. But the numbers were equal too or probably surpassed the DLP Rally on Labour Day
I am not supporting Lennox but after that speech last night.I am going to lessons to him now I don’t get those speech from my Labour candidate at all.is mapwee alone and I fine my slef count the same thing and 80 % of our supporters does the same thing just read the comments is time for to move away from that man uwp candidate speaking so well u learning from those guy my eye starting to open.
I wonder if st jo would have space for people if workers payed people to attend
Some people will commit suicide on Election Day. Because if workers think that crowd giving them 11 seats, they must be in LALA land. Guys, to get 11 seats you have to UNSEAT 7 labour constituencies and maintain all three of yours.
If you are realistic you would change the modus operandi and stop trying to be ‘the new labour party’. Because not a thing going to change, just a different set of people plundering the country. I guess equality for all, everyone want a chance for them to plunder…….
gasa i fed up of going in hole::::::::them man don’t have money …..if its not a grant noting not swinging……anyhow, workers… great turn out……i have a family of plenty n we were not there…….its time for change no matter how u twist it, its time for change…….the country is stagnant no new developing ideas…….time to give lenox n his crew to get the mandate……i was suppose to be down there but when i passed n i saw the crowd i said to myself ill rest my head bcuz the basket is full already…..i’m rather impressed….. love to all labor or workers;;;;;; but i’m giving workers my support this time around………( instead the p.m whisper the date of election in his baby ears he should be saying daddy loves you……
Massive Youth Rally at St. Joe today……Change is really on its way……Workerrrsssss……Inspiring speech by Monelle……You deserve to win the St.joe seat
boy crowd looking nice finally it looks like dominicans going to make a good decision cause the frauds have their back against the wall change is really a must
I believe every person has their biases for the political party which they support. Sometimes we take our biases to the extreme.
Both political parties filled the St joseph Savanah with their rallies. The difference here is that the DLP filled the whole of St Joseph including the playing field.
The crowed that UWP had was just a fraction of the people that was in St. Joseph on May 5th. every street in St joe including the back streets were crammed with people on May 5th. In ottrobando, on the morne, by enid shop goin
going back to the savannah. The crowed on May 5th may have been well over 20,000 people.
Lets be realistic here in 2009 36,000 people voted, the DLP obtained 23,000 votes; the UWP 12, 000 votes and the Freedom party et al 1,000 votes. I maintain that the DLP still have the popular votes in Dominica.
When election is called and the UWP looses I hope defeat will be accepted this time around. You just cannot take the whole of Salisbury and Marigot and empty them in St Joseph and say you win an election or that you have a bigger crowed.
And by the way both parties can easily attract 10,000 people to their rallies. But UWP cannot attract 20,000 since they never obtained that number of votes in their 25 year history.
which the DLP surpassed just four years ago.
I understand fully that a party can still win the popular vote and loose the election but a lot has to happen for that to materialize. Yes the UWP may be better prepared, better organized than previous years but can they beat the DLP this time around ? I don’t believe so. Time will tell
CONSIDER THIS!!!!
DLP
1. Planned St Joe general rally in 5 months
2. Advertised on Radio stations and day before rally paid trucks to do heavy advertising; going around communities blasting music, telling them not to forget the rally and join the train.
3. Day of the rally gave out thousands of shirts, caps etc
4. Paid the buses to take people to St Joe and gave gas money to some people
5. Paid vendors 300ecd to participate (I know, my cousin from Grandbay was paid)
6. Rally was held on a Public Holiday (Everybody was looking for somewhere to go)
DWP (TEAM DOMINICA)
1. Planned St Joe Youth rally in one month
2. Only advertised on Radio
3. Majority of attendees paid their way to St Joe
4. Rally was held on a regular Sunday, with people having church in the morning
5. Attendees; very few had DWP slogan shirts, but yet were decked out in blue
YET AN OCEAN OF BLUE!!!!!!……This say A LOT to me!!!!
dlp still had alot more persons in st joe, this no lie! i say this because of how the park is, if you were !
really???
1) I heard the youth leader say that the rally in sen joe was planned not after the labour had theirs there. so if its only one month they plan it, that would mean they knew, they knew, they knew.
2) what happen to that vehicle that was passing in my village blasting “WORKERSSSSSSSSSS”. they most likely didn’t pay like DLP did but they advertised not only on radio.
but remember tho, rallies don’t win elections
You are right, The DLP planned their Rally and it was well planned. All the Ministers told us of their Ministry and what the DLP Administration is planning on continuing the good work they are doing. The UWP did not take time to plan their Rally. They saw what happen with the DLP in St. Joseph and the UWP said to themselves let us have a Calypso Jam and called it a Youth RALLY.
This was not a Youth Rally. A Youth Rally is something where the adults stand aside and watch the Youth do their thing. That was not what we heard and now seeing in the pictures.
The Jam was for everyone and the people came out to a Jam. And the crowd came and it was a huge crowd, no disagreement there. It was a very large crowd. But what did you get from the UWP Jam Rally, apart from the amount of people, what did we really get?
A Leader who is consume about prostitution and rape. That was what I am getting from it. So want does the UWP stand for, more I hear and more I listen, I still do not know. What I heard
The young people are prostitutes because they prostitute themselves.
The poor and needed; The Elderly are Greedy.
Those in need are greedy; that is our young and elderly.
And now Ministers are Rapists? That even in itself is suspect.
I heard somebody said there was no maypwee? I wonder how you’d call that. This is a person hoping to be the Prime Minister of the Country.
Even the UWP Candidate for the constituency said that she knows that some people came for the Triple Jam, for Gossip and whatever.
So they are quite aware why the people came. I hope some came for the apology they never got.
the lyo organised a motocade the Saturday before May 5 and there were alot more lyo than what workers had there. so you point is pointless
And……..
@ The following, Though you are dead right, I believe you forgot the most important reason why many went which is: The much anticipated date of election that many thought would be announced, especially bearing in mind that on the eve of the DLP rally, PM Skerrit told the nation to expect IMPORTANT Announcements as a way to sell out the rally.
At the polls we shall see!
And yet the motorcade was dry like the Sahara Dessert!!! A bus took three and a half hours to full!!! Now that says ALOT TO ME!!!
if you can lie on one thing you can lie on everything, `The Following`. UWP had vehicles blasting music and invitations all over Dominica.
oh wow really, guess I was asleep when they passed through the west coast cause I heard NOTHING!!!!!!!! My bad! I apologize….SMH
that is not true.
Am not a supporter of any of the parties cause of my personal reasons. But both parties advertised on loud speakers around communities.
I know persons who were given gas to put in motor bikes and transportation.
So we must not be spreading wrong rumours.
Is time we as a people come together and unite instead of fighting one another. Let the Country move forward, come together and build our country not bring down our county.
You should also add that the people who came to the DLP rally had no fear of victimisation, therefore many more civil servants and other government dependent people could turn out.
WOW… true. This shows poor planing and asking the poor people of Dominica to dip in their pockets again to support a party!
Some people seem to forget that there were alot of UWP supporters in the DLP Rally so that is why their crowd was little bigger!
We dont need to spend near a million dollars to get our supporters to come out… linton could be standing on a bocket and i would be there… no blimps in the sky… no problem… no sewo… i hear to be educated… change is a must! who’s with me.
Parry, having heard meeting of the youths and seen the pictures coming from the rally at St. Joseph, I would certainly advise the Prime Minister to hold back the date of the General Elections until next year. Hopefully, the popularity of Mr. Lennox Linton and UWP Team Dominica will fade away.
The UWP will only get stronger. The people understand where we came from and where we are heading under Labour. There is no turning back.
But @If I WUZ, the longer he holds back the date the more popular Lennox Linton and Team Dominica getting and the more UNpopular and UN appealing Skerrit and DLP getting. If I were Parry I would advise Skerrit that he should have called the elections a month after that Citizenship court case when he told us to prepare for an election, Had he done that he would even get my vote; but now everybody can see the man has, and is suffering from a TOO late syndrome. Even Parry will vote against him
You figure that by holding it off the youth will be bamboozled with bribes and fake temporary jobs with mizzly pay and they will be so doped up with this that they will change their minds and vote skerrit? Not the labour party just skerrit. I wonder how many communities he can post his representation in ? He’ll go up for Roseau to Soufriere, Scotshead and then from Laplaine to Marigot to Vielle Casse and so on. He will have the portfolio for each and every Ministry next year for himself. Good luck with that.
Catch 22 my friend. The longer he wait is the more the cookie of lies crumble. One can only hold his or her breath underwater for so long while pretending to be SCUBA loaded. Either you surface dead or you surface alive to declare the truth.
The hire the monkey climb is the more it will expose – you know what. How much more promises can they make if they hold up. Besides that by 2015 Demetri might be saying a few words and so Demetri the American born prince of Dominica may no longer be able to hold the secret unless Tony Astaphan passes on the secrete to his American born son who might be more mature to understand the value of discretion.
Parry Bellot? You really think the PM listens to Parry? The PM is a dishonest man but he is no fool. He is aware that Parry is trying hard to get his attention; he is aware that Parry wants something. Even Parry confirmed this on Matt’s programme last week. He confessed that he has been trying to get the PM’s attention but the PM is a busy man. What Parry did not reveal is that the PM does not want to meet him. Parry has outlived his usefulness.
If I wuz Roosevelt Skerrit I’d plan my exit strategy before it is too late.
Wishful thinking, they better call it before August and be a strong opposition (13-8), than to wait till May 2015 and be no opposition (21-0). The kind of momentum that UWP have with that train there, not even a derail stopping them from reaching their destination.
LOL…very amusing indeed
Think again. its UWP all the way even if he call election next year. I guess you are not begging so you can say that.
workers finish labour had a lyo gathering in st,joseph and only young people attended,worker say the had one and invite every one ,workers did not have crowed, labour was packed by 3.pm that place was empty. LABOUR AGAIN AND AGAIN,
if u had a brain u wudnt make dem statement… u watchin pics at 3: 00 n tlkin….. de labour rally start since 10: oo in de morn… de workers rally start 3: 00 so how u excpect it to full one time… buh i doe blame u…. u are unable to spelll crowd so the labour party willl continue to feed on ur stupidity n lack of knowledge… i still cya blame dem cuz u love being looked as foolish
@Latituded810 What all you had a gathering in St.Joseph, all you planned something on Saturday May 3rd this was a catastrophe. You all had a convention on May 5, that started at 12 so you expected the crowd that came for the sewo to be there by 3pm. UWP activity was carded to commence at 3pm. So get real.
You just made a comparison of crowds…….did you compare the speeches too? ……….This was just historic. I think you should take some time out to really commend the youth for such brilliant speeches and for the large turnout never seen before in this country. Forget about the large crowds and remember who were there and what was done……plain and simple. Hats off to the youths……….whether you are green, red or blue please take your hats off to them.
Can you write that in English?
These labor dunces
Unless you are biased or your basic math skills is in the drain of which I suspect you are guilty of both Labour didn’t have a larger crowd. Stop lying. As a Labourite hard-core I went just see what was happening and I was mad as hell so many people turned up for WORKERS.
look at the number of persons that gave you a thumbs down, everybody know you lying
with this said, I still sense fear………………..
Government corruption is straggely a huge problem every year more than one trillion dollars is paid out in bribes around the globe. A recent studies shows the most corrupt countries in the world . Corruption hampers economic development cripples judicial sustemn and deepen povert y. It also help faciltae organised crime and and our country is depicting a true picture of these sentences . Dominica let start with ourselves to make e a change harts of the lady of senior for her tremendous speech
I agree with you 100%
Everyone is innocent until proven guilty this just an accusation but at the same time Sir is there not a term as to calling the kettle black cause it is said that your DCP had to pay a good amount of money on your behalf, you claim the young people are prostituting themselves to Ministers but Sir again these people have their right to do what they please with their selves which am sure they don’t do that one or two may well fall through the crack but to say they all do that is a shame to say that. It is alleged that a member of your team transferred funds from an account he was trusted to manage and land that was to be own and sold by DAAS is in his name so if we all think the way you we can say then it is true cause just like the minister you chastised it is just an allegation. Now on the note that you want 16 year old to have license that tells me how uninformed you are about the global enlightenment citizens you familiarize your self with cause you would know that Trinidad trying to find ways to change their laws cause to much of the young kids are dying by accidents boss every thing you say and do just put us in a worst place than we are, but hey that’s what you get from NOVICES.
When is election date? GUGU GAGA!!!
Change is a must!!!!
I lost the aces! I lost the winning tickets! Why did dada put them in my pocket? Bastard Magician! A couple weeks ago, he messed up my ear-drums. Wicket politician!
I am a new voter in Pte. Michel and trust me I have never seen people like that. Skerrit must be S******g in his pants.
People have finally realize that : Too much corruption, too much bobol, too many ministers driving in expensive SUV while we suffer, too many chinesse workers working while truckers, backhoe owners and others stand by and look, too many chinesse taking over Roseau while local businesses shut down. Finally in my young age I cannot understand why some ministers could own three houses while me and my mother leave in a little shanty in hollywood, A man claim to build a 400,000 house while its true price is 2M. As for Pinard, he has become a millionaire overnight. How did he do that? I too want my share of Dominica, Labor must go!!
Pte Mitchel New Voter . I could’nt agree with you More To much corruption & We dominicans r getting poorer Whie All Skerritt Big Heads R Living Big & we r suffering . Its really time For A Change, frankly we all know everyone for themselves but Aleast give a little to the Country & its People.everywhere in The carribean R boostin up except Dominica so Change Is A Must & not An Option . The Young People r fedup no Where to run too & if this continues tell me wat will befall dem???
@Pte Mitchel new voter I can now understand you were blind on may 5th
I’ve been following political rallies for a long time now and I don’t think I’ve seen one that big. WAW. It sent chills down my spine.
Are you for real? Didn’t you see the crowd at the St. Joe Rally? You had a crowd but the crowd of the DLP was much bigger. People were all upstairs the big building on the side of the road. UWP cannot beat DLP crowd.
UWP can never win the election. Do the maths.
Dominica is not a communist country therefore there are different sides in every debate. Having a full rally does not represent a party win. DLP has been doing a great job thus far they are not going anywhere. Laborites need to stop playing into uwp games. Ever since they (uwp) came on the scene they have been nothing but decisive and cruel to people. Mob rule is there thing. When the bell rings we will see who wins the goal. Laborites stay out of their games.
haha haha haha that is real funny
Well I must say Dominicans like Political Campaigns and Rallies. A nice Sunday evening outing. The weather was good; people cook their supper first because the fella on Q was really pleading for people to come to St. Joe. He was calling for Mother, Father, Nenen and everyone.
The Rally was probably organized by the youth but it was not a youth rally it was whom ever will may come. Very good turn out. But could that turn into votes?
I doubt the Youth and Women will turn that into votes.
Don’t doubt, I had three neices, two nephews, my daughter and their friends there and they are all uwp voters so you can stop the guess work.
Didnt you expect the adults to come and support the youth? Is it wrong for the adults to come out in large numbers to listen to the young people and their plights, goals and expectations. well sorry but i think you should start giving support to young people as much as possible.
just wanted to say why is this comment so low rated? I see uwp criticizing labourites for being intolerant which is often true yet why do the same? I’m assuming is pro workers party ppl dat thumbs down that comment. I don’t see anything wrong with it, its not even derogatory just expressing polite and sincere doubt…..whatever happened to tolerance…well it is political season so its not like I don’t expect that its still not an excuse though…
it will definitely be votes change is a must and u best believe it … you may love d miseh us dominicans goin throught but the people who turned out does not !!!!! #TEAM DOMINICA#CHANGE IS A MUST !!!!
You could not have chosen a better name… doubting Thomas.
Where should we bury the carcass of the Dominica Labour Party (DLP)?
Is it in Vieille Case, GrandBay or Possie? Honestly i would cremate it, and dump the sand in the Indian Ocean. A party that has impoverished thousands, turned thousands into baggars in their own land, a party that has in your face INSULTED THE PEOPLE WITH DISDAIN , its carcass should not be buried anywhere close to Dominica.
The most damning legacy of this wicked party LED BY SKERRIT will be the impoverishment of Dominicans and the begging syndrome it created on island.
HOW LONG?
NOT LONG!
I really for sorry for true labour supporters, who allowed their party to be hijacked by a gang that cares nothing about anyone but themselves. I do hope that party survives because there are good people in there too. They are Dominicans too and we always need a healthy opposition. Good and healthy debates in the House is good for our democracy.
D baby will never tell you…All em will say to you is Goo-Ga-Ga….cuz u really Goo-Ga-Ga
That speech from Hon. Lennox Linton tonight was reminiscent of when tragedy has hit a family, a nation, or a community and a real loving, caring, and devoted man of God calls everyone together and prays hope, inspiration and God’s speed over them. What a speech Lennox! It was your “Between you and me” program on Sunday afternoons that really opened my eyes, but I will confess that I never thought you could deliver such a speech. I saw you as an honest and sincere person. I saw you as a great leader; I saw you as an answer to the cries and affliction of our people, but never as a great speaker. How wrong I was! You have it all my brother and you are truly God’s gift to us. What a speech! I am not going to be able to sleep tonight…you have me going bro.
The between you and me program where the host was calling persons name and calling them derogatory names like Veymin , gutter rats etc. Are you serious, I heard myself … Are you serious is this what we are teaching our young people to disrespect others. As I have said when the boots is worn on the other foot, those same persons will disrespect those who will be in authority then. They will also disrespect us as parents as well. ???????????? Do you want that …. But as I always say peace will always reign in our lovely country. No patriotism taught to our young people but disrespect.
Wow, why are you lead by emotion, it is an old psychological trick that politicians use to manipulate the masses the antidote for this is reason. Politics is a game battling for minds and heart of people. Strong Leadership should not be judged by speeches only, it is the reason why people get broken hearts. If you look at history you will see what I’m saying. Oh by the way sleep is important do not deprive your self of it, simply over a speech given by a politician.
DBS use to be a station for all,What happen now they are a one side station now.I was hoping to listen to the UWP youth rally on DBS.Oh dear all the radio stations have there own Political sides.Oh lord what has happen to my Dominica.People are so divided.
I speak as a former Freedomite that that voted DLP in 2000,2005, and 2009. In 2000, because we were told to vote UWP out at all cost. Then I voted them in 2005/2009, because I felt the young PM, who was also a freedomite like myself, deserved a good chance. However, the man hast lost his wayt and sure does not have the interest of Dominica at heart as seen by his performance and his dictatorial style which was so strongly criticized by Mamo. I feel good toady! Lennox has really inspired me and his speech tonight will be long remembered. It’s a speech that we in Dominica has never heard before; its a speech of deliverance, hope, care for our democracy and future of our young people as well as our women that have fallen as victims of this Skerrit led DLP. This time around I am voting UWP, the SAW for SURE!
Not you alone toutou, I in that too.
Eunica for ur in fo paix bouche people a very productive. Shame on you. But u must say that is who that following you they just cut his lights
Soon we will have better days and not beggar days. Money will meet money.
of course because it looks like god is going to be the next pm
Well, well. One day you will wake from your dream.
I hear more wind blow than that!
Where is the money coming from … The one to meet money? No taxes , no vat. You have some buried somewhere man “ends cant meet” …. You have been goofed to think that money will meet money. If you have some hidden somewhere then use it to meet your ends.
Better days cannot be brought by a politician or politicians, what a sad belief to harbor.
@speakingmymind, last election you referred to a corrupt man as Jesus. If you believe in false God’s you are not a Christian. Dominica is a Christian country and Team Dominica knows Christ is the way, the truth and the light; and In Him, they trust.
its the same thing, dirty talk and mapuis, you know they cut his lights do you know why? its because he doesn’t have a job. That’s the norm in Da no work how do we pay our bills if we do not have a JOB. Tell the government we want to work not to beg. Thanks
I don’t care whether you are a DLP supporter or UWPite but the powerful speech delivered by the Right Honorable lennox Linton, must go down in history as the most powerful and well put together speech delivered on a Dominica platform. Now I start to understand why the man did not go to University, because with the wealth of knowledge and ability this man has, I think if he had attended university some well developed country would have stolen this gift from us and there would not be hope for Dominica at this very difficult time that Skerrit has brought upon us. But thank God Lennox is here!
I have been trying to echo these sentiments for months. Lennox has a gift not many politicians or senior councils have.
lol so true.. he has the gift of speech… he can talk and fool you all..
You know who is also gifted in that area – Monelle. We have seen various women in the political arena in Dominica but none like Monelle. She has a powerful presence on stage and her speech is always well delivered. Monelle is a young single mother with the gift of gabs and she has a whole lot ahead of her. There is no way Kelvar can match her.
We go to university to attain the skills to be productive citizens. There are a few gifted men and women around the world who have become great inventors, actors and leaders with their God gifted talents. We just have look at achievements of Mr. Linton and know he is a great leader.
in my view crowd don’t predict victories , same with workerz in 2000 election when they lost to freedom and dlp . none-the-less gr8t crowds and interests of young people speaks volume . couldn’t matchup labour day , but massive enough to send shocking waves down pm’s spine .
my two cousins from Bellevue were at labour day cladded in red. ONe is 14 and the other is 15 , so what are you saying about crowds ? makes no sense to me. labour rally on may 5th was filled with kids in red
@zo wye – You are correct. I also saw quite a number of children on the back of the Labour trucks that were heading to the Skerrit Party St Joe rally.
Apparently, those children were going to St Joe to meet and spend time playing with Gugu Gaga.
It goes for both parties. My friend and I were in blue yesterday just taking the lime and we are not yet 18.
How good there were no “kids in blue”. It appears that only at the Labour rally there were none labourites in red. Ha ha ha!!!! I was in St. Joie and I was counted among the 30 or so thousand!!!!!. The same way the Labour Day crowd by itself cannot win election, you think the “parents, come support your youth rally” (smart move I dare say) will by itself win election. I am a supporter of Labour and will vote Labour. but I must say the turn out of young people was impressive. It means the Labour Party has more work to do. But does the turn out of young people at the Labour Day rally and the all youth motorcade (no parents or guardians came to support the youth.They were all by themselves) the day before the rally bring any satisfaction to the UWP too? I also heard that the crowd at the Labour Day Rally was in most part there for the entertainment. Wasn’t there entertainment too at the “Youth Rally”? Did the crowd come just for the entertainment only?. I hear too of the free transportation and free gas for some and support for vendors. Did you read of the email to the diaspora seeking resources to move the young people to St. Joe. I also heard on Sunday that it was the “ministers of government who were prostituting the young ladies”. That was on Sunday May 25th 2014. On Wednesday May 21st in St. Marteen, I heard it was the “young ladies who were P-R-O-S-T-I-T-U-T-I-N-G themselves for favors that came from the public purse. Both expressions of “prostituting” were spoken of by the same person. You see how intelligent and very articulate people can bamboozled the not so selective discerner of rhetoric?. So my dear friends, let us not lose sleep, fight and hate each other over the cut and thrust of our politics. Let us work hard for our party and let the people of Dominica decide. There are many surprises in the next election.
Finally prostitution or prostituting has made its way onto the political platform.
not only kids hun..I was there n labour can never get my vote this comin election..it was a holiday, I couldn’t let d sewo pas me by..but guess wat ‘change is a must, not an option’
U people just speak without facts, who won the most votes in 2000? Uwp won most votes and most seats but the coalition together formed the Government. Geeze man read a book or something.
For a Labourite this is a very fair comment. Just to remind you this was merely a youth activity. Compare it to the DR P’S youth activity on May 3rd nuh.
I am a former DLP poto myself and have shifted my alligence as I see Sherri turn from a reformer to dictator. This man is driven by greed for absolute power and the accumulation of wealth. What is really there for the youth, farmers. What about the women? This man is sure to fall because you can only fool some of the people some of the time but the masses are no longer heard followers of Roosevelt Skerrit and the people want change. Skerrit can buy, he can bribe, he can whisper the date to only goo goo ga ga, he can sell but he will never again be allowed to take the reigns of power again in this country after the next general elections. Once a man competing with God he has reached the last end. Does anyone recall Skerrit saying if he must tell the people go and pray to God and wait for God to answer their prayers or he “god” should help them because God taking too long. Skerrit boy you have lost God’s favor as you have clearly made a mess of what God has blessed you with. As for me and my house we are voting for change this time around. Bye bye DLP no more support from us.
If crowds don’t determine victory, why do your labour party have to imports crowds of diaspora to vote?
Young people I see more old than young.so u mean to tell me workers young people so old looking. So u mean to tell me de man from paix biuche with all de dirty hair growing all in his teeth hmm he young.well zor modie papa.
depend on a DLP supporter to make such a low-down statement ! ! These people are all about mapwii !
Come one, come all. You should have gone there too. Grow up…
Now that’s to much.you deserve a slap
Monel was a powerhouse! She seems to be getting better each time I hear her as she remains focus on the positives and never gets sidetracked by those that try to get her to play by their dirty rules and politics. What a crowd! However, Lennox Linton, my hero, delivered a speech I have never heard in our local politics which goes back to 1975, when I first began to follow politics. In fact, his speech reminds of one delivered by Obama way back in 2002, in his home town of Boston. They say men don’t cry, but Lennox had me crying BIG TEARS tonight, as finally, I saw a man that is ready to restore hope, pride, and integrity in our nation. When he called the ladies to come up front and said to them “I love you all, I will fight for, I will defend you”, I just could not hold it anymore, On my God!
I felt the very same I couldnt hold back the tears when both individuals spoke what a day I only wish I could have been there, I’m sure folks in the diaspora were listening just like I did to what they young people had to say they are in it too and they shout it loud for all of us to hear.
yes. some powerful speeches yesterday. Lennox was at his finest in challenging the government. Monelle is developing into a powerful public speaker
Pity you, why are you making a politician exploit your emotion is this how you are being lead.
You are so fool of yourself, you hyprocrite. Who you think you fooling? A speech by a man who has changed the rules of the game in the middle of the game had you crying. Senior citizens always say “Playway go nom led”. By the way Obama’s hometown is not Boston. Perhaps you wanted to say Chicago, Illinois. But stop lying on yourself. Smooth talk don’t move smart people one bit. Crooks speaks well too! They speak so well that you simply surrender all you have to them under the guise of investing in order to get greater benefits. I am not investing the future of my grand children into the hands of a smooth, full of rethoric talker – a novice.
Dominicans stop predicting the outcome of the 2015 General elections by the crowd you see at political rallies . The UWP turn out seemed to have matched that of the DLP . Dominica have a lot of CON-KATTON they’re just following the rallies for the (SEWO) Free Entertainment but the question is How many of them will vote ???? or how many of them are even registered ???
Where the sewo was nah tonight there as compared to May 5th?
i agree…we had locals performing giving them a chance to rise unlike the dlp who had to send for bajans to pull a crowd….
Unbiase did you attend the youth ralley if you did we thank you because you listened to the young people again thanks for comming out, so take from those presentations the messages conveyed .
Mi moon, Mi moon… and to think that all adults stay home, mostly young people that was there. Imagine if adult supporters were there with the young people… earthquakes and tremors would be occurring in St. Joseph because of the weight of all those people in one place. Bondea … Mi Moon… look people…..
T- BWAY.
LABAR FINI BAT MEM! MEM! MEM!
Oh How happy i am!
Omg seems like the uwp supporters expected to see no one at their rally..but one thing I know for sure the winning party must have at least 11 seats and workers doe even have 5 yet…..
@madame dominique You Lie you should say Labour will get 25 out of the 21 seats.
I AM MORE THAT IMPRESSED by the shock waves that Team Dominica is creating. WOW! WOW! WOW!
@madame dominique – Ask Skerrit to tell you how much seats his internal polls tell him the UWP will win if he calls the elections now nuh.
Then ask him if the results of his internal polls is the reason why he has backtracked on his threat to call a snap elections.
i like tht!!!! labooooooooooooooor
Let sumbdy say uwp had more pple dan labour..let me hear dat,,,an why pple cantt get it live like dlp on youtube,,
Hmmmm Let’s see here. UWP had more people than Labour…….Do I here a sound? Loading loading…….
And to answer your question…….We didn’t have to get it all over youtube because we didn’t have to play the all fools game with the diaspora.
Not only had Team Dominica more people at their youth rally, the quality was at least tenfold that of the rent-a-mob and performers earlier this month. That for me was the big difference, the quality!!
Stop being shallow it’s not the number of people that matter it’s the number of voters…… You easy to fool people waiting on hand outs….. wake up and restore our country’s standards rather than supporting the disrespect of our country on an international level…. SHAME on y’all…..Shame.
It is a scattered.crowd
If you there or was there I think you lost. U should take your phone and make an emergency call to 999.
Change is a must… Take out Lennox as leader and then workers will move forward with the people that really ready to get Dominica where it needs to be…. Any org party or group emulates what ever their leader sets the trend for…. As far as I can see he only bringin the party down bring back Eddoe then we can talk about a real party! Together we must lennox get bck to being on d radio leave politics for the people that can and stop make your supporters sound ignorant….
U wish! But only in your disturbed dreams it will happen
hmmmm, Although I some what agree with you that a party emulates their leader. However, here is where I see a big gap between UWP and DLP: Should something happen to Leenox, God forbid, they have the likes of Sanford, Fontane, Joshua Francis, Ron Green, Joseph Isaac, Baptist, and Charles to turn to, and even Eddo as you suggested, Hovever, if not Skerrit where and who does your DLP turn to? Can you see the trouble that lies ahead? Can you understand why Skerrit was and still is looking for candidates that cannot challenge him? No wonder he shipped Vince to the UN since he saw some potential in Vince.
Can you detect good potential even if it’s” Smoking Hot” right under your nose?
I must admit Monel Williams is a great orator, she just keep getting better. She kinda remind me of Portia Simpson-Miller is her.
I really like her, I really really like her.
I would not agree that Monelle is a great orator right now, but she definitely can develop into a great public speaker.
@ANONYMOUS She is definitely showing signs that she can be a very good speaker. Presently the best we have on both sides of the political divide is LENNOX LINTON.
UWP said they were disappointed in St.Croix people .I know they said that because of the shameful welcome that they received in St.Croix
@VI
You are empty, you are trembling, you are shocked, you are speechless. I am just returning from St Joe my friend, and trust me, SKERRIT HAS 1000 000 000 000 000 000% REASONS TO BE SHITING ON HIM. I will forgive him if he is getting fits of daily diarrhoea. From what i see Labour Party wicked, cruel, despotic, INSULTIVE and cruel rule over the poor people of Dominica is rapidly crumbling. Remember it is his (Skerrit’s) arrogance which had him telling Lintoon to “”””TAKE OFF YOU JOURNALISM CLOEK, AND GET INTO THE POILITICAL RING”””””””.. Skerrit THE INCOMING PRIME MINISTER is in the ring now, and you cannot take his punches. From what i can see i must say ” God is Good and he is Indeed Good all the time.” ” Something is Happening and It is so Ecxiting” ….We will soon be removed from the shackeles of the Skerrit led wicked and corrupt Labour Party and his gang.
HOW LONG?
NOT LONG!
@ %, Don’t worry. Take it easy. The punches will be sent at the polls on election day..not on DNO. Not long we shall see, hear and know who is getting diarrhoea. Mark that date in your diary,ok!
@FAST N IDIOT Why do you pretend to love the Skerrit Labour Party and its corrupt ways so much, and you cannot advice him to call election?. If you were not an idiot, you would know by now, the longer he prolongs election the WORSE IT GETS FOR HIM.
I want to hear what UWP plan to do to make a change in dominica. And to all you ungrateful dominica who say allu suffering I hope all will be the one to eat from the public purse if lennox ever come in power. Yes it have poor people in dominican yes money not meeting money for some, but if it was those ppl to come and talk about suffering I would understand. The same set of ppl that talking about suffering is there pocket that fat. Give thank and praise to jah for what allu have because if lennox come in power he talking all from allu like he do the ppl by by DCP.
Why is it what you see is true for all Dominicans. Politics has done strange things to your mind one of which is you are someone who has sight but no vision.
Yeah, yeah , he have SKRIT marks in his pants now.
I wonder if he is not the origin of the diarrhoea that is affecting the young, mostly, between 3 to 12 yrs.
Gu?
really?
what did you get out of posting this…..did the crowd bother you that much….having nothing to say posted this crap.
What do you expect from these people. Most of them are wass Saint Jean. So tell me what do you EXPECT? Let them carry on. We RISE above that style of politics let them carry on. We Rise We Rise We rise
State Radio dbs why are they not covering uwp rally live? I suppose they are there for birthdays and the illerterates
@efficatious In less than a year Team Dominica will be in control of DBS, but they the Wicked Labour Party will still be given access to DBS…..
Doubt Linton and the rest of the team will do like these evil people in this Labour Party who keep on impoverishing our own Dominican people.
not only birthdays my friend. Obituaries are their specialty.
Skerritt trembling now! unlike DLP the UWP does not pay people to attend rallies. UWP for 2014/15!
Doe neva lie on ma skewo yh
If this level of mangled literacy is typical of Skerrit supporters he has a real problem on his hands.
Are you sure about that we must speak the truth my bus was paid for yesterday sunday
de yo fe sa, yo pasa fe sa. Workerzzzzzzzzzzz . but de sea reaching all on de playing field man cuz all I seeing is blue, garson mi moon
so the playing field not small again?May 5th it was said that the playing field was small, so what happened today,the workersss bulldozers enlargen it…zor par feb a plas sa lar
DUH didn’t you see that people filled the road, over flowed unto the bridge, into the cemetery and unto the next road along the cemetery. let’s not debate this, there is no debating……. St Joe field was too small for us ……I like that, I really really like that!!!!!!!!
Parry Bellot say St Joe field bigger than Londonderry field wee! and Londonderry was overfull – so go ask Parry which crowd was bigger; but for me the crowd was not the issue it was the focus, substance and quality of the speaches and the way they were delivered that mattered and trust me there was no mepuis or dirty politics in other words there were no Reggie Austries on stage – I mean it was chalk and cheese and thats the difference, there was a clear distinction between the men and boys with toys.
Change Is Really A Must Now I see Dominicans mean serious buisness Change is coming fear no more
Could somebody ask Roosevelt to find out from the police at what point did they stop counting the amount of people in the crowd. Thanks.
when the pass 70,000 lol. i like that,
I can say if uwp dnt win they will be a very strong opposition.The Pm is sure to lose some seats.
Are all these person Young? just asking !
At least 75% was between 18-30 and that is genuine cuz I was there and you would be pleased at the turn out of the youth and what was not funny most of them did not stay for the sewo. I was proud of how they put this together to achieve their objectives, real proud.
Old is to throw away I see young and vibrant people…. who will be able to vote next election it it’s God’s will…. Check that lady in the brown shorts I bet she was shaking her booty like any teen…. Stop pressing the people who taught us what we know and nurtured us to who we are and for your info some of these people are more healthy and fit than the “so called Youth of today” Once a man twice a child, their vote count too cause just like me a 28yrs old they’re feeling the current heat….
Every Dominican has to stand up and speak. Vote for the restoration of democrasy. Vote workers.
Mama Waddin take note,………. we love you.
I hope when the ruling party start to talk about the Gr8 Lennox Linton Two Gremlins nothing will be said with all the gu gu Gaga. Don’t start to ridicule the man child.
So who brought the baby thing into this nuh??? Twas SKERRO!!!!
You too stupid. Nobody is ridiculing no child. They are making fun of Skerrit. And for your information HE introduced his child FIRST. Fair game. These are the rules.
It is not gu gu ga ga, it is goo goo ga ga. If he knows the election date, then he is a dwarf who was delivered post maturely. He was named after me.
@mahaut roro.
When is election date Dimitri?
gu gu ga ga
gu gu ga ga.
You must advice Skerrit when he is stage stop talking nonsense. The onhly thing he does well is to insult people. Nothing else he garbles makes sense.
@ mahaut roro, you may want to talk about gremlins but atleast they are here and know their rightful owners. There are those on radio spilling out rubbish and all they have to stroll is a little puppy. Guess they wish that they had atleast one gremlin to call their own.
There was dead! Workers finish!
Dominicans stop predicting the outcome of the 2015 General elections by the crowd you see at political rallies . The UWP turn out seemed to have matched that of the DLP . Dominica have a lot of CON-KATTON they’re just following the rallies for the (SEWO) Free Entertainment but the question is How many of them will vote ???? or how many of them are even registered ???
Mark u…u cn rarely find dlp supporters at uwp conventions so thats a genuine crowd. On the other hand skerrit took a holiday from us…a beach day so i can tell u may 5th had alot of uwp supporters in st joe…including me because if its one thing we are not bias
@bomboclat

Cemetry
True Dat. It reminds me of the Sunrise Rally. Did that one transformed into votes for the UWP?
And how UWP complains of the number of voters who vote in an election? If what I am hearing, close to 50,000 people were at both Rallies. That is plenty of Votes.
Apparently we have people who can vote and make a difference.
Two Rallies in one month both very populated. The Rally on Polling Day will give us the answer. That could mean neither Party can take the Dominican People for granted.
Calling people, Greedy, Needy and Prostitutes would not do it for me and my family. But I am one person. Someone here said the United Workers Party gave a very good speech, if he did not apologize to the women and the youth, I would not consider it a good speech. But to each its own I would think. Rallies does not mean votes. That was said after the DLP Rally also. The Voters have the say and only on Polling Day.
well all you people not easy in that place we. I down laughing with the kind of joke you all posting on dno and I only hope who the joke is on that they do like me and laugh and do not take anyone to COURT. It is a joke man it is a joke enjoy it because I did,
Bro, That is the best comment for the year, lol. You could not have said it any better
Never dig a pit for your brother or sister you may just fall in it. Becareful what you wish
Your funeral might come before theirs.
Have not seen you on the blogs lately. Thought you were dead. The workers have raised you up from the dead. You need to give thanks and praise to the Workers thru the Lord.
‘You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains;
You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas;
I am strong, when I am on your shoulders;
You raise me up… To more than I can be.’
Were you there or just speculating….
Holy S**TTT!!! Workerssssssssss….
“I AM FOR CHANGE; ARE U?”
Assertive, NOT Agressive!
WOW! That’s a lot of people
Augurs well for our democracy.
Eh beh these labourites not easy to be circulating a pic showing a scanty and scattered crowd. I suppose their wish was for that turnout.
CHANGE IS A MUST
