The Dominica government has issued a stern warning against inflammatory remarks on the airwaves.
Fresh from his dual citizenship court election victory, Prime Minister Roosevelt Skerrit has indicated that such rhetoric will now come under greater scrutiny from the authorities, who intend to take action on that matter.
“I feel duty bound to call this country to order this evening,” the prime minister told a victory rally in the capital Roseau on Tuesday evening, following a court dismissal of election petitions against him and Education Minister Peter St Jean.
“Enough is enough, these constant attacks against the good name of Dominica at home and abroad must stop,” PM Skerrit said, objecting to what he described as inciting language that was being used by a “handful of malcontents” to stir up mischief and a campaign of disobedience in Dominica.
“This will no longer be tolerated,” the prime minister told his Labour Party supporters.
Saying he intended to do something about this, PM Skerrit said: “We can no longer tolerate inflammatory speech intended to incite violence under the guise of free speech in this country. Nor can we accept the systematic campaign to destroy our country’s name with vicious and calculated lies,” he warned without elaborating on how that perceived problem would be dealt with.
What’s seen as anti-Skerrit programmes on one privately-owned radio station – Q95, and allegations from some activists in Dominica and the United States who accuse the prime minister and his government of corrupt practices, are among the areas of concern for the Skerrit-led governing Dominica Labour party.
Wearing his DLP political hat, Roosevelt Skerrit urged the activists here and abroad critical of his administration to take the bold step of running for political office.
He made reference to talk show host Lennox Linton’s recent announcement that he would contest the next general election as a welcome development, although PM Skerrit did not mention Linton by name, referring to him as “one of the protagonists who hid for years behind the cloak of journalism”.
Meanwhile Linton had an initial comment about the government’s proposed new tough stand against so-called inflammatory remarks on the airwaves.
He said of the prime minister’s warning: “What is he gonna do, jail them, execute them?”
Speaking to Q95’s Matt in the Morning, Linton said, “people are speaking to issues that concern the civility of Dominica, the rule of law”.
His statement on that is a clear indication that he’ll continue to speak out on what he perceives are the ills being perpetrated by a government he is extremely critical of.
mr prime minister you are setting a bad example for me a youth ot this country… if you as the honorable prime minister can break a law of this country so can i and no body can or have the right to say a word about it because both of us are citizens…
mr. prime minister you starting something that will not only destroy our dear island but you and the “yes men” that follow you
The justice system put a nail in Skerrit’s coffin, now he thinks he is All-Mighty and he will self destruct. The Lord works in mysterious ways his wonders to perform.
Just give Lennox the skerritorious award for
cracking peanuts with sledge hammer.
Mr Skerrit those who see you as God never give you good advise.
But from the very day you start ruling this nation with an iron fist, everything will unravel infront of you sir, so think again.
Those who claim to love you are telling you with fantastic ignorance, to go ahead PM.
I AM NOT A LABOURITE,BECAUSE THIS PARTY IS HELL,but please PM call the supporters back and tell them you recant this nonsensical statement.
Can you imagine clamping down on people with no money, no work?
+
WELL IT WILL BE HELL BURST LOOSE!
@ T
You are exaggerating and blowing matters out of proportion.
@ JIM
The best thing you can do and also for yourself that will also contribute to peace is to have respect for your Leader, the Prime Minister of Dominica.
Do not be disobedient and stubborn in your ways. Learn discipline and the art of it. Some adults still have to learn this.
Why the poor people who support you are so poor? Do you think of how to get them gainfully employed.
@ GOM
If you reside in Dominica, you could do something for them and assist them to obtain gainful and stable employment. The problem with some people is they expect the government to do everything for them. They appear not to be aware that they also have to help themselves, help their government, their country and their nationals.
Many of you have heard the wise words of the late President Kennedy which will always be repeated: “Ask not what your country can do for you. Ask what you can do for your country.”
You are one of those who should use it as an example and act accordingly.
I thought Skerrit had won his case and Justice had prevailed, he is angrier than those who lost, that speaks volume.
Great observation. His conscience maybe killing him.
@ Anonymous
He is not angry. As your Leader and PM, he is sending a strong message to you, to be obedient and respectful. It is a warning. Do not twist and turn it otherwise. Law and order must prevail.
he has to let you all know that the country had enough of you all’s bullshit and that it is time to put you all in order
DOMINICA IS FINISH!!!
@ Queen
You lack confidence. You will be finished before Dominica is finished.
YOU ARE RIGHT DOMINICA IS FINISH…. SAD BUT TRUE…. DICTATORSHIP HERE WE COME. THIS IS SOMETHING ELSE TO HAVE SOME UNEDUCATED Fxxx RULING THIS COUNTRY HOW HE WANT. SMH
For the amount of inflammatory remarks this man has used as PM, he should not be chastising anyone. What a disgrace.
I would first like to single out a commentator below for his comment that Dominica is the POOREST country in the Caribbean, when in fact Dominica is NOT the poorest or one of the poorest countries in the Caribbean. There are different definitions and/or methods to go about measuring the success or poverty of a country, ie the economy. The most popular one is GDP. According to the latest statistics from the International Monetary Fund, Dominica does rank last (before St. Kitts) if you were to measure it in terms of GDP, price purchasing power.
I would like to draw your attention to how GDP (price purchasing power) distorts the economic readout in the measurement of economies. Price Purchasing Power assumes a single basket measurement for the consumption of one type good/s across the board. Distortions will result when gathering data for housing starts, inter-differences in comestible consumption, whether imported or home grown, and manufacturing stats.
That being said, I acknowledge that Dominica has no such manufacturing base and that this weighs heavily in the statistical output. However, we are a very, very heavily based remittance country. If the remittance industry was killed, Dominica would go to the dregs.
That said, I would like to draw your attention to another measure of the economy, and that is GDP per capita. Dominica ranked 16 out of 32 of all Caribbean countries in terms of GDP per capita (IMF, 2011 stats). We ranked higher than Brazil, Venezuela, Jamaica and of course Haiti. GDP per capita is the nearest definition to measuring a country’s standard of living, and may be an indicator of a country’s economic happiness.
In closing let me offer the prime minister congratulations in his legal victory. Again, we are a beacon in that justice does prevail. However, let me also admonish the prime minister for his slightly inflammatory remarks. He would have been better served to state that “any slanderous or libelous accusations will not be tolerated under any circumstances.”
In that case, I 100 percent agree with Mr. Skerrit that the full face of the law should deal with such liars and hate spreaders.
As a loving Dominican, I stand “forward ever, backward never.”
You are simply a lazy groveller. Go find work to do because the RED CLINIC IS CLOSED. YOUR BEGGAR!
I live in Dominica,so go and have all your formula for dinner.Eat it with bayleaf tea, and go back to your knees in the red clinic tomorrow, to answer to your God.
Hope after all of this we can wake up in the moring and thank God for life and move on
so much hatred and disrespcet to each other
on these blogs is so unneccessary. We got to
repect each others opinion with calling each other idiots.We are not born to see things the same way….Let’s move onpeople of Dominica.whether u agree or not.We have a beautiful country to take care of Love Peace and Unity that’s all i am saying
Good point…at the end of the day, all we have is ourselves and our neighbors…all governments, with their good, bad, and infestations, come and go…
At the end, we Dominicans will be left holding the sac chabon…
So because I have free speech, I must just come on the radio and say whatever the heck I want about you whether its true or not? Ask Edison James whether he agrees with that? And if he does, then he should forget about the moneys that Ian and Concom have to pay him. These negative comments about people and the country does no good…it goes out all over the world and is a terrible advertisement for our small beautiful country Dominica. those erpetrators of such acts are nothing but unpatriotic and selfish!
Freedom of speach does not mean freedom to slander, freedom to infringe on other people’s rights and freedoms. It does not mean allowing people to betray your country[ their own country] by spreading all sorts of negativism about a small struggling developing country like Dominica. It does not mean allowing paople to incite violence and hatred in the country..it does not mean to allow people to break the law and walk away free…setting bad examples for our young people on the airways…teaching them to hate their leaders and those persons who dsont agree with them…I agree with the Prime Minister…this cant be allowed to continue!
@ connan
I wholeheartedly endorse what you have well stated.
POLITICS IS DIRTY BUSINESS AND PEOPLE TALK AND SAY WHATEVER THEY WANT AND BY ALL MEANS SHOULD BE FREE TO DO SO….
THEY THINK PM IS DESTROYING DA WE ARE THE
ONES DOING ALL THE DAMAGE. THESE COMMENTS
ARE SHAMEFUL AND SICKENING.
This corrupt crew has already destroyed the country.
…..
I do think people as you, negative and disrespectful are the ones who have destroyed your country.
Mr Skirrit have you realized that you have not won anything. everybody calling it a victory, this is no victory in my books as the case was thrown out. you were not found guilty nor non guilty the case was just thrown out which means the opposition party can come again with a stronger case, which i think they are going to do, so don;t just count your chicks yet.
Yes my Prime Minister Roosevelt Skerrit we are with you 100% just give the order and we will take them all out. NO OPPOSITION! And while you at it my Prime Minister Roosevelt Skerrit it is the right time to rename Dominica please name it Skerritia because we are all Skerritians now! What Dominica who cares about Dominica is our Prime Minister Roosevelt Skerrit we love. PM first country second. What has Dominica ever done for me? My PM give me land and money. I am Skerritian and proud to hell with Dominicans!
Oh my, this comment is disgraceful and should not be posted.
It sounds like it is coming from someone with an empty brain.
What school did you go to.
Skerrit needs to send you to special Ed.
What school did you go to? Go back there and as them to define sarcasm for you. lmao
@ Myra Aviola
You are correct. You know the saying, “Empty vessels make the most noise.” Truth be told is one of them. This person should change his/her name.
all of all you will go down together. little time still.
THIS IS HILARIOUS…. DOMINICANS REALLY TURN EVERY THING INTO JOKE….GOTTALOVEMYPEOPLE
There is no law in DOMINICA with the amount of killing thats going on uselessly, kill for a reason revolution,we need a change from all this corruption, and injustice, ass kissing, some of us must die so that othes may live in a stable state, you cant even get a visa to travel, Dominica passport is like a poison even in countries here dont need a visa,skeritt and his bunch of Dictatorwell soon be gone
We need to do a survey as to how many people have Diplomatic Passports too.
There is a misconception that the people who supports Mr.Skerrit loves him. I am sure there may be a few who loves him but the majority i believe supports him because they are mostly in favour of his plans, programs and the way things are being handled in the country, therefore hence the support. The people does and always will have the power even in a comunist country, weather they want to use it or not is a next thing. A perfect example just look at what’s been happening with the fall of leaders even to their death under dictatorship. Dominica is no exception, because let’s be fair if the majority wasn’t in favour it would be over turned and don’t you there say is because they foolish or blinded. The role of a government is to give the masses of the people what they want good or bad and that’s also good politics. Democratic countries such as ours gives the power to leaders through the vote of the masses of the people, hence majority carries. In such a case it means the minority has to respect the wishes of the majority but at the same time also has the rights to try and convince the majority to change and see things their way. Until then the majority carries, i can’t get why this is so difficult to understand. What the opposition has been doing is all to scare people while they should be doing actual work to win support instead trying to insight violence. Don’t you know that in this effort the majority will win again because they are more in numbers so would walk over the rest? Blame the democratic system not me please. People not stupid to be getting what they need with hope for even more and change it just because a few feels they should. I am sure that the majority is in favour that the tone used on radio in trying to insight violence needs to stop and so supports the PM. Now don’t you try to be smart and say he trying to cut freedom of speech, because trust me the same majority would never allow it. We all know what the PM saying is true and needs to be stopped but just because is he saying the those who blue vex finds issues with it. I wonder if they really want to see the country fails just to prove their agender. When Obama got elected a white man say he wish he fail well he is failing and i hope they happy.
@ ONE STONE
If Obama is failing it is because of those same people and the Republicans who want him to fail. They are always objecting to whatever he says and does and is always displeasing to them. In their eyes he cannot do anything good because they hate him for obvious reasons.
When he became President, I heard a Republican state on CNN, “We will make it difficult for him.” They are wicked people with wicked hearts.
THERE IS NO WAY YOU CAN COMPARE OBAMA’S SITUATION TO SKERRIT…. YOU ARE NOW MIXING DIAMONDS WITH STONES…. FAROFF
The level of discussion here shows the level of education…..please , please educate yourselves, that’s why Skeriitt is doing what he is doing-ignorance of a people….being used against them…
@ Educated
Are you truly educated? Do not be presumptuous that you are more educated than some others who comment on this Website.
let me just say…. please someone somebody lets make a solid political party. you see with democracy the people speak. thats the only way a government can be put outside people. not in the courts. that strategy was just wrong.
We should have waited restrategised, go the the house, atttack the PM dere humbly and show Dominica that even if we lost, we did not lose our diplomacy. continuing along this trend will result in the real death announcement of the UW Pwi. Please we need a strong opposition. and that is not the UW Pwi we want fresh new face and a young sexy opposition just like the PM. someone like….. think hard.. am trying
@ d real thing
You stated, “attack the PM humbly”. There is no such thing as that. Wrong choice of words.
If you recall the past and take note also in other countries, is there a good political Party? I doubt there ever will be. Those in power are doing their best. I hope those to come will do likewise. This is all I can state.
SOUNDS LIKE A DICTATOR TO ME. HEAVEN HELP US.
IN ALL MY YEARS I HAVE NEVER HEARD SUCH DICTATORSHIP COMMENTS FROM A PRIME MINISTER IN DOMINICA. IT SMELLS PEOPLE IT SMELLS,
@farsha
Are you a Christian or not? Know the truth. Heaven will help you when you become obedient and respectful to your Leader, the PM of Dominica. God does not help people who lambaste others and are disrespectful to them. He will also not bless and grace them. Change your ways and be humble. Only then will Heaven help you and others. God knows your heart and all what you say and do.
For those of you talking about dictatorship, You have no clue what that is. Allu lang too free in that country, this country is too democratic. Iwould love for you all to get a taste of dictatorship see if you will be able to pronounce the word. STUPES
@ CA
They should go to Cuba, Iran and other countries in the Middle East. No exception Venezuela. They will then know what dictatorship is. They are too fortunate and happy in Dominica and they do not know it. This is being ungrateful, primarily to God. One day it may be taken away from them when they least expect it and this will be their punishment for their ingratitude.
what mr. looking for there he BOUND TO GET IT….and all his hungry animals that want to come interrupt will have to fall back.
We wanted a messiah…well here he is.
It is written that the messiah shall come from the East, and the Wise Man from the Middle East shall whisper wisely in his ear: “It is better to be feared than respected;stiffle all breath from the dissenting voice; press thy feet firmly against the throat of Democracy, lest she agitate the masses against your divine will; be liberal with the Rod of Corruption, for the end shall always justify the means”.
The messiah listened attentively to the wisdom of the Wise Man. Then he looked down at the Sea of Red, and he smiled…
TO BE CONTINUED…
MOAR
many of you maybe aware of the drug cartels in Mexico run things.
I recently read the journalist have to ask the drug cartel king pins what can they print in the neews papers. Anything printed against the king pin can get you six feet if you are lucky to get 1/2 that. lol! extraplot it.
Such statements awill be followed by action and to every action there is……………… a fundamental law of Physics and society too.The dictatorship tendencies will slowly or maybe rapidly show themselves so will be the antidote to them.
PJ is and has beena clear ej. So are Duvalier,The Birds,Fatboy et Al ,Gairy,Samoza, Idi Amin, Sadam, Gahdafii should I name those of others from 79 i already gave our local ej.This is the chrono;ogical order and end of Solomon Grundy.The begining of the end for ours in DA so it has been said in the history of the world and it occurs everso often.need i give more ejs? Certainly not.
The precondition towards the dictatorship has been allowed by the court.The foundation has offically broken ground with the decision.Clear and present danger cannot be more inevitable.let’s see what my country men and women are composed of. Are we gonn stand and look?Skerro give me a great big breakover our dead bodies.
I intend to take action on that matter.
“I feel duty bound to call this country to order this evening,” the prime minister told a victory rally in the capital Roseau Perceived problem would be dealt with.
Signs of Dictator ship in readiness.Okay cousin Doc Duvalier.The haitians are with you? I doh think so!
Why can’t we emulate what is good and Godly. Do we have to pattern the evil around us?
People should not go around and say what they want without facts. Plain and simple. People need to respect others and do not spread lies and cause people to get angry ie incite violence under the guise of demorcracy. Respect, Respect others. Whether you are a Public figure or not does not give one the right to say what they want without any facts. The kind of things I do hear people say and really untrue has set me shedding a tear especially when one is trying. I do hope and I have always said that one of these days the children or family of some of those who spread propoganda and lies etc will be one of those same Public Officer. What will they say will be interesting. Then they will feel a dose of their own medicine. I am watching .. time flies so soon one of those days will be here.
From reading the comments here, it looks like both parties gonna have their current number of supporters for years to come. Pure maypwi and name calling going on between them. Nobody trying to entice the other to join their side. When you tell people they’re idiots and will stay hungry…u know what? They can still take their hungry idiot self to vote, and it will not be for you!! And the smart ones in the media aren’t any different.
Smart people please understand that anywhere in the world you go and say “let’s shut down the country” won’t be taking lightly, common. It’s like going on a plane and say bomb, so if you get shot people will ask where is the democracy,lol. Democratic or not it says clearly you are instilling violence because you are not in favour of the democratic process. It is also clear that in this country and in humans general that once they hate or against a person they would always find whatever is said or does to be bad. You mr/ms/ honesty search yourself. Isn’t that so? I have seen it’s really a waste of time to bring any sort of sense or light to any matter because there will always be a bias and that’s the difficult world we live in.
taken
“The Dominica government has issued a stern warning against inflammatory remarks on the airwaves.
PM Skerrit made this stern warning… Is he the Government?
Dictator
An Olive Branch or a tamarind whip? No lie could last forever. Truth must prevail. Fear No more. Skerritt think again. The worse thing for any Govt. could engage in is to instill FEAR in its citizens. It is those same citizens who you have been calling on to come together, to work together for the good of Dominica.
There are presently thousands, upon thousands of Dominicans who are disappointed and dissatisfied with the way Dominica is being governed. Our constitution affords all of us the RIGHT to voice our opinions without fail or Fear: to express our opinions on issues that affect our lives without derogatory words, without libelous words, without curse words.
Are those statements responsible?
—- Is not your damn business where we get our money from.
—- Go to hell !!! Go to hell !!!
—- No law, not even the Constitution could prevent me from being nominated.
—- call to supporters at a public meeting Tuesday night that they should not give comfort to those who dare express their views against corrupt practices by those in public office
—- calling on Dominican business men and women to pull out or discontinue advertising on Q95.
The audio clips clearly reveal those nonsensical comments.
But all must take heed. Some in leadership positions are suffering from Narcissism and thinks that they could do no wrong and if they do wrong, they could not be touched. Many a dictator began with irresponsible statements, threats to patriots and freedom fighters as well as media houses. After that came arrests, beatings, jail, disappearances. Corruption becomes the norm. The economy and the country suffers as a result. THE SIGNS ARE PLAIN TO SEE. THE TRENDS ARE GLARING. Many Dominicans have been demonised as cockroaches, traitors, Kakador involved in treasonous acts.
FEAR NO MORE. BE On YOUR GUARDS, my people, at all times. We fear no one but our GOD, be it ALLAH, Jehovah, Jah, Buddha.
“The Dominica government has issued a stern warning against inflammatory remarks on the airwaves.”
These words were said by PM Skerrit. Is he the Government?
simple answer. Yes. Skerrit IS the labour party and the government.the rest of the ministers are just satellites.
so people cya even take in the country ………….JUST NOW IS TAX WE HAVE TO PAY TO TALK
WHERE IS MY COMMENT.iSAID WE HAVE FREEDOM OF SPEECH IN DOMINICA AND LONG AS NO ONE DON’T TOUCH OR INSULT MR ,THERE IS NOTHING HE CAN DO TO ANYONE.EH EH
LAYYYYBAHHHHH
“Woe unto a nation whose king is a child.”
now i know and the greater part of dominica knows that there is only a handfull of people remember 3/18 running their mouths about MY PM. NOT GUILTY WAS THE VERDICT. LIKE TI OR NOT. GET OVER IT. ALLU TO DAM PETTY IN THIS PLACE. INSTEAD OF RUNNING ALLYOU MOUTH ABOUT WHAT IS NOT GOOD TELL US OR SHOW US WHO IS BETTER!!!
Well, I listen to Skerritt yesterday, and I hope Dominicans are listening carefully and reading in between the line. What is his definition of inflammatory remarks? So now it seems journalist are about to be censored. Freedom of speech will soon be a thing of the past in Dominica. Skerritt is nicely easing into becoming a dictator, the sad thing is that most Dominicans are so taken by him that they are blind to what he is actually doing and saying.
Think of this, all of skerritt”s associates and heads of states he affiliates with are all dictators – he his learning from the best. If it walks like a duck, quack like a duck – Dominicans it is a duck. Skerritt is a dictator in making the sooner people wake up to this reality the better it will be for everybody.
linton knows dam well that skerrit is not going to execute them or jail them,skerrit is goin to carry their a to court and make pay for their allegations,so he had better stop being hypocritical and pathetic,they are scared now,this is why he saying that,he is looking for sympathy,but they are on their own,they had better have their insinuations in writing,for when they reach the courts.
Skerrit is becoming a dictator and wants to rule by tyranny. Somewhere it is written that: Disobedience to a tyrant is obedience to God.
The Lord God is our shepherd, not Skerrit!!
This land, Dominica belongs to God, not Skerrit!!!
Get up stand up, stand up for your rights!!
The Lord will smite him down for trying to stifle His people.
SOME OF U PEOPLE HAVE TO UNDERSTAND U CANNOT BE ON THE AIRWAVES ACCUSING GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS OR ANYBODY OF WRONG DOING WITHOUT PROOF AND SO FAR HAVEN’T SEEN OR HEARD OF ANY.IN THE 21ST CENTURY THAT’S LAWSUIT,DEFAMATION OF CHARACTER I THINK IT’S CALLED.SLANDERING ONES NAME IS NOT FREEDOM OF SPEECH LAST TIME I CHECK.
united states
-government did 9/11
-invaded iraq for oil
-killed gaddafi for gold issues
etc
everyday people are on the radio and tv in the states speaking out against their government. You talk about slander so to say that you believe a leader is corrupt because he is using loopholes in the law to escape being exposed is slander? We will continue to talk this is just hot air. Dominica too small for them to try to implement any kind of totalitarian state nonesense. they will have to spend millions on court and start to lock up or get rid of people cuz is now we going to start to talk MORE.
just remember there is no democracy in china…dominican take a page of whats happening around the world….Dont let a party leader scare you. listen to everyone..dominica isnt a one man state although i see thats the direction we are heading..all dominicans who love their country please continue to educate the people..the truth offends.
PM is that an OLIVE BRANCH or a THORNY BRANCH.ALL you fool me in 2009 and i vote for all you, but time will tell.Think you more popular than in 2009. Dictators always like to fool themselves you know.. I CAN FEEL THE PULSE OF THE PEOPLE!
But why everything he has to say is LENNOX LINTON LENNOX LINTON LENNOX LINTON. Mr PM Lennox is not selfish he can pass on some of his GOOD QUALITIES to you SIR. Or even better he can give you a course of studiesn on how to be a PATRIOT…Just approach him and ask him to do so. HE WILL !GIVE THE MAN A BREAK MAN!
which one of them is on skero’s side god or satan. as for me all i know meny are call but few are chosen and not all that glitters is gold and also smoke with out fire is fiction . people remember 68-78% of what is right for man is not correct . black is black and black is not white and what ever you do is with you where ever you go.
So no more freedom of speech in dominica.Man as long as people don’t touch or insult you, you cannot prevent people from talking.OH OH
Dominicans are always trying to justify a means and are being soo negative at it. The PM is one man and we are no different from him. There is only a certain amount of pressure that people can take. If you want to see things happen or change, tackle the individual ministries and advise the Minister to investigate. We are just an unethical nation who think that if we take the mike, we will be heard and the ignorant people will follow.
Its time for us to pray for our country and our government instead we cry them down. Our minds are become soo foul and corrupt that we have no respect for authourity.
Ppl I am so worried for my people in Dominica. DICTATORSHIP is on the rise…. I saw it coming since this PM took office. Now people can no longer speak? I tell you my people soon we will be told what we can eat, how much food is entitled to us weekly, how many kids we can make….. If we don’t get the suppresser of FREEDOM out… ALAS
The picture Q95 paints of Dominica is just insane. If one is listening from abroad like I do and if they really dont know Dominica then hmmmm we would be doomed. Maybe the PM should not literally take matters into his own hands but perhaps these ppl on Q95 should record themselves and playback. The things they say are really hidious. I DO NOT want my children “US born but Dominicans to the bone” to ever ever listen to the rubbish these people preach about Dominica. Is a shame!!
Q95 must be the only station u listen to then try switching to the other station and then u can make comparision. your children nationality not of any importance here boastful
No new law or censorship is required
PM Skerrit is simply saying that:
BLATANT LIES which defames his character will be challenged in court . . that is his right.
BLATANT LIES which seek to deliberately hurt Dominica’s Economy. Image, Security etc will be challenged in court.
. I SUPPORT THAT 100%!!
Say what you want, when its the TRUTH.
not because you were declared not guilty by your own people does not mean you did not do the crime.
Can somebody remind me? Once upon a time who had stop “Talking Point” again?
“People should not be afraid of their government, but their government should be afraid of the people”. Find your voice before it is taken away from you.
GOON; Are u trying to be wise or are you making yourself the most foolish person that ever exist?Are you a father? should you be afraid of your children? should a police be afraid of the citizens? should a teacher be afraid of its students? should an employer be afraid of its employee? Even the bible itself warn us about those who bear the sword? So (goon)pliz dont make yourself too foolish because you hate the Government.Its we the people that should be afraid cause they have the power and can do what ever they want whether we like it or not.I hope I make a point in other to bring some sence to you.And pliz,teach your children to always be afraid and run away rather than being brave and die in the process.
rubbish u talkin ‘want to know’…is the people dat give dem the power to do ‘wat ever dey want to us and wenever they want’ so ofcourse dey should b afraid of the ppl. and dat last part bout teach ur children to be afraid and run away rather dan be brave and die, right dre i suspect u is jus a and is ignorant ppl like u dat makin the outer world see dominicans as stupid ppl wit no sense…Awoah!
I’m afraid that you are the one tha’s foolish. What Gooon was trying to say is the government work for the people Not the people working for the government.The citizens of Dominica has the power, the right to elect any government. Unfortunately, ignorance prevails and Dominicans are not aware of transparency and facts to make an informed decision.
Firstly i’d like to make you be aware that the government is not an independent entity! it is in fact the citizens themselves. Citizens have both a moral and economic responsibility to each other in a society. Individuals will pay taxes for the support of schools, roads, and other social welfare programs because it directly benefits them and those around them. Don’t think this Dominica government can function without the people. Without the people, there is no government. That’s why the govt should fair the people because the people is the core
@want to know
I am at a loss for words to describe, far less provide a rebuttal for that nonesense you just wrote. I sincerely hope that was a poor attempt at sarcasm and not your honest opinion. If the latter is the case I feel sorry for anyone you have any kind of influence on in Dominica…
The country nees to total/complete REVOLUTION
Being found not guilty does mean that one did not break the rules or commit a crime.
Not guilty by the court does not mean not guilty by the truth. The PM walks with the truth, and wherever he goes, he takes himself…and the truth.
The quest for ultimate power renders men void of conscience.
stand corrected: Does not mean that one did not break the rules………
I know that everthing gets to Dominica late…but DICTATORSHIP? Please Dominicans, do not let it come ashore, irrespective of who is advocating it. Think about this…ALL DICTATORSHIPS IN THE MIDDLE EAST, AFRICA, AND THE SO CALLED DEVELOPED NATIONS HAVE BEEN TORN DOWN RECENTLY OR ARE ON THE VERGE OF BEING BROUGHT DOWN. It is very sad to see the P.M., being a PUBLIC FIGURE, is not able to deal with questions regarding his leadership or dealings on matters of integrity. I am really beginning to question his ability to lead and to take action crime adverse economic issues that have plagued Dominica lately. Let’s be careful that our support for such adverse actions by the P.M. does not dampen tourism, and other economic ventures. Like I said before, if he is in the political kitchen, he must be ready to put up with the HEAT. MUCH PRAYER FOR MY HOME ISLAND. Christians it is time to get on our faces for Dominica.
“I intended to do something about this, PM Skerrit said: “We will no longer tolerate inflammatory speech intended to incite violence under the guise of free speech in this country. Nor will we accept the systematic campaign to destroy our country’s name with vicious and calculated lies,” he warned without elaborating on how that perceived problem we will deal with talk show host Lennox Linton,Matt( i already had to settle with him to keep him quiet,not any more. “What I am I gonna do with them?, jail them, execute them?”
Enough is enough, these constant attacks against the good name of Dominica at home and abroad must stop,” PM Skerrit said, objecting to what he described as inciting language that was being used by a “handful of malcontents” to stir up mischief and a campaign of disobedience in Dominica
What do you call it but Censorship of the Citizenry and pure DICTATORSHIP? Please don’t be so gullible and just eat up what the PM dishes out. STAND UP FOR YOUR RIGHT BRO.
Sad
It is so sad to hear the bad things we Dominicas have to say about our own people, not stoping and think how it is going to affect us later in life, both here and abroad. Why cant we work on caring for each other instead of fighting one an other down like that for power. Remember the devil is a liar.
You are so right.Any leader with character and integrity would come out and answer the questions that the people are asking.
I am of the opinion that the Pm represents only the not-so wise. I do not want to call then ignorant or stupid.He likes those you just bow to him. Those who accept whatever he says.
Not even the ministers can speak. Bet u if they speak-out they go.
They are not concerned about the country. All they care about is getting their big fat cheque.
I’ll say it again, in the greatest of democracies (US, UK, EU) people are being jailed for INCITING VIOLENCE. Muslim clerics are being jailed for ‘inlamatory’ speeches in mosques. Why should we then tolerate people who go about inciting violence in Dominica.
Only the ignorant and wicked supporters of the opposition would come here on DNO and talk rubbish about dictatorship. The fact is there is too much os so-called freedom of speech in DA. We need to be more in line with the developed countries and monitor individuals who want to bring death and destruction to our country simply because they do not agree with the status quo. this CANNOT and SHOULD NOT be tolerated in any democratic society. The collective will of the majority must be respected. if you want political power it should be through the ballot box and only through there.
So PM that’s why it was Parl Reps who were recommending whom they want to be POlice officers?
YOu were preparing a long time ago man! Ha! Ha! Ha! BOY LOOK RORO IN THIS FAILED STATE!
is now i will talk! LEFT RIGHT AND CENTRE!
talk nuh who stopping you… you have to talk or your mouth with s….
This is just utter rubbish,, lar boo, koshonyee,kar kar,zordis,crap. We all must multiply what we were saying by 1000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000%..
MontGay RUM can make people talk nonsense we Boy. ALAS PAPA!
GOOD AFTERNOON TO Lennox and GON Emmanuel!
You think it’s Mount Gay rum? I believe it’s something stronger-the seduction of power.
Ha!!!funny as hell. C’est ca monsieur ka boire, non? Moin quois c’etay rhume Bagatel. Garcon…boire gleau, frere…boire gleau…weh!weh!weh!
IS NOW WE ARE GOING TO TALK ABOUT BAD GOVERNANCE! Poor country and Bad governance.
OMG I swear it’s like I was reading about a speech given by Chavez. The very same exact things he say and has been saying for some years now. Of course by now it’s come to a point where anti-government conversation in that country is mostly jokes among friends or social memes – nothing threatening to the government since very few people have what it takes to stand up to a government on the brink of dictatorship. Guess that is where dominica is headed. You folks enjoy your freedom while it lasts.
PM i am actually a fan of yours, but you should let the dissenters dissent. It was the seditious act, the Freedomites under the leadership of Charles Severin and MAMO used to bring down PJ. Just reminding you, so don’t fall for that ole trick, let dem dissent and continue to do what you do best, rule the country justly, and care for the underprivileged.
Don’t you feel that when they spend so much time in court with no evidence, it is wasting time and time is money? Stop wasting my Government’s time, we need all of it to continue the “Shock and Awe”, and that is what all you fraid. Take it in all you………
the man is not learning the lessons of history. he is making some of the same mistakes PJ made.
Well said, thats all he have to do, because we Dominicans have to much time wasting, while we blame other people, and not seeing what we have to do too make things work for us here.
you people need serious help.for a long while,programs and talk shows have been attacking the P.M,and stirring anger in dominicans.these ppl have no respect for any kind of authority.talk shows and citizens court dont run a country. its the legal court house where hard evidence are to be shown,that can make those decisions.and that is where all those opposing the government lost.no sound evidence after all that talk.hmm.i pitty these ppl and their childish behaviors
authoritarian is too weak a word….bringing back some sad memories fromm my childhood days………..i think this man is looking civil unrest…..
ok for the people on here who needs to be spoon fed….his attitude ….his authoritarian attitude is bring back sad memories
correction… he is looking for civil unrest….man.. like someone said before… if you cannot take the heat you should leave….you are a public figure and you should know and expect what comes along with your position of power
If he couldn’t take it he would already die of heart attack. That what some of you are famous for……pressure then heart attack
AND HE WILL GET IT!
Mr PM is now you are going to hear people talk. Dissent/ Free Speech is good once we do not tell people “Go to Hell” or “It’s NOt None Of Your Dam Business” or “No Law No Constitution”. WE WILL TALK SIR!
LET ME MAKE ASK YOU A SIMPLE QUESTION.Since Skerrit becomes PM have he said anything worth bringing to the publice domain?Is this you posted the only thing he said? Have you said anything in your life that you should not say? Who on earth have’nt? so stop focussing on what you think was wrong he said and start looking at the amount of development that he is brining to the country for you and i and the entire population to enjoy whether we like him or not.And as Christ sid in his word-THE ONE THAT HAVE NO SIN MUST BE THE FIRST ONE TO CAST THE STONE.
I am laughing my head off right now. Where is the freedom of speach in this country going to. Mr P.M. have alot of growing up to do. Dictatorship is next. He is listening to Chaves too much.
well said.. lol lol
@ Esther and others who criticize what the PM stated. You are disobedient and need to learn to obey. People cannot go about stating derogatory remarks about their Prime Minister. He is not your little boy. He is the Leader of Dominica. You must have respect for him.
I reside in Toronto and if I did that, I would be hauled to Court. Who knows, even eventually my Canadian status would be revoked. People must utilize psychology and be discreet about what they state. I do believe that some of you have gone too far.
You must obey authority. This is a command from God. Otherwise, you are being disobedient to God Himself.
When you make a statement ensure that what you state is correct. Otherwise, all of you will be hauled to Court and you will deserve what you get.
Think about this. How would you like people to go about making derogatory remarks against you or even your family members?
It is time to humble yourselves and be respectful. If you do not support a Party or the PM this gives you no reason to lambaste him and defame his character. If you are Christians then you will act in godliness.
Recall what Our Lord Jesus Christ said: “Do unto others as you have them do unto you. Whatsoever you do to others, you do to Me.” Have you forgotten your Christian teachings? When will all of you learn this? God will hold us accountable for our attitude and words, one way or the other.
I know that my disciplined and respectable parents would never encourage me to speak in such a manner against the PM, not even in private, whether they support him or not. If I did, they would admonish me and inform me to keep my mouth shut. It is your obligation to be respectful.
Mr Skerrit,PM, this nonsensical and infantile rhetoric, will result in people talking even more.
Dissent cannot and will never be suppressed in Dominica.
While you are making those useless,reckless but frightening threats, the country is the POOREST IN THE CARIBBEAN.Is this a farce for you inability to lead? Well some of us are brilliant people, we can read you better than we can read a book. And you must stop talking about LENNOX LENTON… It’s not our fault that he loves Dominica, and that he is a PATRIOT. In fact we LOVE him for that. Stop concentrating on man out of 55 000 people in POOR Dominica PM.
GO DO THE COUNTRY’S WORK. The economy is in tatters. No agriculture,no manufacturing, tourism can’t get the jump start it needs.
Crime and criminal activities are rising day by day.These threats are to prevent us from seeing your inability to lead? Sir why do you keep your ignorant supporters who see you as their God so POOR?
DOMINICA NEEDS HELP! and we will talK!
Well said
WHILE SOME OF YOU TALKING THE PM IS WORKING
This is the problem with y’all…just talk and too much talk.
Par Example..Thompson Fontaine. After spending all these years in banking and finance at the highest level the man never networked with any high rollers that could at least finance an orange mixer (he has been begging for citrus production).
And then the man has the gauls to talk now and talk of government selling passport to terrorist. Is this the kind of talk you want from a so called economist.
But this is what uwp is famous for talk
The Govt and people of DA gave Athie a water botlling arrangement and he said screw that , I want to talk instead
The Economics of every country is in the small to medium size business…not government.
So all the talk and radio talk show will do nothing to move the country but just more talk
WHAT DEY SAY DEY SAY…my road march
@ WICKED LEAKS: While the PM is working you are lazy,and you are begging.It’s not your fault. IT’S JUST A POOR COUNTRY WITH NO WORK.BAD GOVERNANCE.
He keeps his supporters poor because he loves it when they come to the red clinic to beg him for money and medical attention… It makes him feel more like a god… He feels like he can feed them and heal them but I just wish he would “bless” them with some common sense.
The negative and serpents tongue of people like you who do not know to bless your leaders with gods help upon them has placed a curse on your eyes that you see not the development in Dominica.
I declare Dominica as a rich nation, we are self dependent. Blessed is the nation who pray for their leaders, you opposers are a bunch of serpents from the pit of hell.
dominica is not your bed room nor your property u will soon be gone and wish to turn back the time .
wHAT AN IDIOT , U ARE AN IDIOT. PM GOD IS ON YOUR SIDE. MY MUM GETS FREE MEDICAL BECAUSE OF YOU. SHE IS PRAYING FOR YOU.
you my fren are the idiot!
yOUR FOOL if this is the case it is because of the Government, not the PM. YOUR BEGGAR! GO AND WORK!
When you get old and wrinkle say you doh want old age benefit nuh…pass it I will take all of it. You will work like a man till you die.
Free-ness is worry-ness go let ur pm give u a job so u can pay for ur momas medical. No one gives gifts for free . Ur hypotnized fool.
Shameless, Bottom Feeder!!
Im not going to call you an idoit sir. I just want you to realise that if a govt which had bolstered the economy was in office, your mother would be able to work for a reasonable salary that would allow her to pay for her medical aid. Give a man a fish and he will eat today, teach him to fish and he will eat forever. Realise that the man wants to keep you hungry so he can stay and build more VILLAS!
DEMOCRATIC RIGHT (not rights) BEGINS AND ENDS ON ELECTION DAY.
CHILDREN STOP THE FUSSING or else I – PM – I AM GOING TO GROUND YOU. lol
As long as you are under MY ROOF – DOMINICA -I AM THE HEAD OF THE HOUSE AND THE BREAD WINNER – STOP YOUR NOISE
Democracy comes with freedom of speace, so please dont stiffle it.you are doing a good job dont let the critics win let free speace roll.
Skerrit want Dominicans eating out of his hands n he can see not everybody is brain washed and crazy over their ‘faithful’ prime minister so he is taking away our rights from us technically…in the mean time those Skerrit lovers will keep on runnin their mouths, giving him maximum praise, (i’m not sayin dat he doesn’t deserve praise for what he has done for the country, but they are so in love and crazy over this man that if they could come together and build a throne made of gold with their bare hands they would do it) while they are blind to the fact dat Skerrit is not more human than us…
Take your warning for yourselvf dread!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The last time i check dominica was a democraticcountry, and with that come the freedom of speech,so why is the P.M. trying to stiffle it look at the middle east this the way we are heading , patrick john tryed it , look what happend to him.
Run your mouth your highness. You can’t do a darm thing other than that.Hasta la Victoria Siempre.
THE PM IS BANG ON, PEOPLE CAN’T JUST GO ROUND SAYING WHAT EVER WHAT THEY WANT, COME ON MY PM. GOD BLESS YOU
People can go around saying just what they want especially if you’re a public figure. if he has a problem with it then let him file defamation of character cases for each person that speaks about him.
I keep saying that the people who run for public office in Dominica I do not think they are aware that they are putting themselves out there. When it happens they cannot handle the criticism.
THIS IS WHAT DEMOCRACY IS ALL ABOUT.
People should not go around and say what they want without facts. Plain and simple. People need to respect others and do not spread lies and cause people to get angry ie incite violence under the guise of demorcracy. Respect, Respect others. Whether you are a Public figure or not does not give one the right to say what they want without any facts. The kind of things I do hear people say and really untrue has set me shedding a tear especially when one is trying. I do hope and I have always said that one of these days the children or family of some of those who spread propoganda and lies etc will be one of those same Public Officer. What will they say will be interesting. Then they will feel a dose of their own medicine. I am watching .. time flies so soon one of those days will be here.
@ What an idiot
…And you are a worst idiot and senseless. People have a mouth but watch out what you state. It is not what you state but how you state it and what you state. Utilize your common sense. Do you have any?
WHICH GOD??
surely not mine ….the GOD of ABRAHAM
Now imagine that we have a lot of “educated” Dominicans thinking like this. You still need to wonder why we can’t get anywhere?
Mr skerrit told Domincans go to hell its none of their dam business where he gets his money from NO LAW NO CONSTTUTION can prevent him from being nominated. Last night Ian said he will kick some people in the place where the sun does not shine. That foul mouth Arab lawyer has rubbish bealching out his mouth all the time and u cant take what others have to saY ABOUT YOU skerrit GO TO HELL
the central intelligence agency will not tolerate repressive and oppressive governments in the western hemisphere where human rights to free expression and association is of paramount importance.However, as a christian nation Dominicans must be mindful of the kind of images that they send out there to the wider community.And remember no one is above the law.If the law doesnot protect the rights and liberty of others , amend the law.So that it can be seen as fair and just.
@ vip
The CIA will weigh out exactly what all of you have stated and decide if what you state is lawful and correct. Do not underestimate the CIA. I will be one to stand up and state that for too long some of you have lambasted the PM and defamed his character. I have read some of your comments and they are not complimentary and are also disrespectful for one who holds office as the Prime Minister of Dominica. You have much to learn and one of it is respect.
I make that bold challenge to you prime Minister; I dare you Hon Prime Minister Roosevelt Skerrit to interfer with free speech in Dominica, if you dont want the different publics/constituents to debate the issues please come clean and be transparent in your dealings; The question is simple, Why did you write to the french Embassy to renounce your french Citizenship??, pl tell us, and we all know the logical answer is because you were or still is a citizen of France
Ask Ron Green why he did his first and then you can ask skerrit. De man of the valley was a remote Parl Rep. and there appeared to be no problem. What is good for the goose is good for the gander!
CIA on the watch:
What CIA? He is not depriving you of your free speech. The situation is spreading propaganda about him and defaming his character. Respect! Respect! Respect! Learn that!
For all those who have not come to the end of their learning, I encourage you and read the judgement of this case.
Skerrit you got all the right to declare war on those who do not have appetite for your corrupt practices. The court continues to encourage it.
I believe that this judge should be banned from ever sitting on a case in Dominica after Skerrit leaves office. I do not think she should even be allowed to visit Dominica again.
She has totally disrespected the intelligence of Dominicans and has done a huge disservice to the future of our country.
I continue to say, evil is for a time, and has no hold over God’s children, let us pray ceaslessly, for weeping endures for a night, but joy comes in the morning.
We saw Mubarak went down, we saw Kadaffi went down, we saw Kim Jong Il disappeared, Bashar Al-Assad of Syria and many more like him will topple. It is only a matter of time. God is faithful, and he promise to take care of his children and I know he will.
To God be the glory!
We willcontinue to match on. In recent times we have seen so many like these fall..Like we say it is just a matter of time.
Pray for him, so that he won’t fall. No man is perfect so pray for him….but surely you will agree that he is transforming the face of Dominica, I mean physically!
but hold on. as if that is how patrick john met his downfall.
stern warning?????????????? well, i would like to see what the penalty will be…and Skerrit-you will be the 1st one guilty of inflammatory speech and spoiling the good name of Dominica.
Catherine half backed actress please be quiet. You very well know what is the inflammatory speeches, the ones where you guys accuse the PM of selling passport to Terrorist. How dare you all say things like that….Oh I get it…its Politics
If Skerrit is innocent in this passport fiasco..he should publish all the relevant info and clear his “good” name.. If he was also innocent in this dual citizenship case, he as an “honest” leader could have testified in court to defend his name and he could have presented all his passports as evidence… He claimed that he got his french citizenship as a child.. so if this is the case and he was on the right side of the law… Why did he write a letter to renounce it? When you are elected by the people… You have to answer to the people… he cant expect to hide behind the senior counsel’s skirt in court as if cat took his tongue and now try to silence the same ppl that have employed him! he should be ashamed to even open his mouth at this point in time! This behavior reminds me of that of a spoiled child who can only speak when his parents that defend and condone his wrong actions are present.. but he goes silent when it is essential for him to speak and speak bravely.
Wikileaks- sign your name…what no, balls????????????
MISTA-WIKI-LEAKS????????????? HALF-BACKED IS THE BEST YOU CAN DO???? NO PROBLEM…
FIRST OF ALL, LEARN TO SPELL…
SECONDLY…WHEN YOU CAN GROW SOME BALLS…COME BACK AND TALK TO A REAL WOMAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Well the hell with it, since a few thinks that soon we may not be able to leave Dominica atleast we will populate. People always been leaving here crying on how bad things are but go out there and boast other countries. Patriots what, come here and struggle like me but atleast am making strides here. Are you making any where you are? A common strategy is to use fair to control people saying things like soon we won’t be able to leave here and such bad is coming. The people doing so may not be realizing that they giving Skerrit more power than they claim he has all just to scare people. We must also note that in most cases a leader gets brutal on their people they are the ones who ends up loosing by death. If that’s the way Mr. Skerrit wants to be remembered as a leader i strongly doubt it, so please people just chill, the majority wants (de man) so back off. It seems to me all who supports the government dumb and stupid all who supports the opposition clever and eyes wide open but yet still can’t convince the court or win an election.
PM Skeritt:”‘Enough is enough, these constant attacks against the good name of Dominica at home and abroad must stop.'”
Well said, PM. The problem is, i have heard you say this before and i am yet to see action taken against the mischiefmakers. Enough talk, already, sir! (With all due respect.)
Dominica is one of the few democracies in the world where people can essentially say whatever they want and get away with it. On a daily basis, the airwaves, in particular, are bombarded with all manner of incitement to violence and subversive acts. In an era where we must be ultra sensitive to our physical security, i think it is high time, sir, that the state machinery function to protect the state and the citizens. All persons inciting violence and subversive acts should be hauled in for interrogation (much as is done in other advanced democracies) and prosecuted if necessary.
Democracy and free speech DO NOT include speech that is meant to do harm.
free speech is free speech no matter what the &%&* you say
Peeping Tom I agree with you. I agree with our PM. Enough is enough! If people want to oppose the government, do it with substance, not with misleading criticism and wickedness in the name of democracy. Dominicans need to stop doing and saying things about Dominica and Dominicans that are damaging. We must remember that curses lasts for generations. Be careful what you wish for when you speak. King David curse Joab for generations. Who knows if some of these people are not of the lineage of Joab. Be careful Dominicans with your words. Be careful! Some of us have children and will be great great great grandparents one day, you do not want to plant bad seeds with your words over this country that your very seed need to survive in, for years to come. God Bless Dominica!
HERE WE GO AGAIN,AN OLIVE BRANCH WITH THORNS, WITH PRICKLES.IS THE PRIME MINISTER TELLING DOMINICANS THAT HE IS MORE CONCERNED ABOUT INFLAMATORY STATEMENTS THEN DEROGATORY REMARKS MADE AGAINST DOMINICANS. WE HAVE HEARD HIS FRIEND AND LEGAL ADVISOR CALLED DOMINICANS SCAVENGERS,ALIBABA THEIVES, COCKROACHES.DURING THE MEETING IN LAGOON LAST NIGHT, RIGHT IN HIS DIMPLED FACE A MINISTER OF GOVERNMENT CALLED THE PATRIOTS THE DIRTY DOZEN AND THAT A REGULAR CALLER ON THE HOT SEAT SHOW SHOULD BE THROWN IN THE PIT TOILET. DOMINICANS MUST LISTEN TO THE ANIMAL SHOW ON SATURDAYS AND TELL ME IF Q95 IS NOT PALE IN COMPARISM TO THAT BRIGHT RED WE SAW ON THE STREETS OF LAGOON LAST NIGHT. I SAID THAT BEFORE,SKERRIT’S PROBLEM IS NOT THOMPSON FONTAIN BUT LENNOX LINTON,ANGELLO ALLEYN,MATT PELTIER AND Q95.
PM would be better off issuing stern warnings about drug dealers and drive-by shootings
Then plenty of all you would still be VEX
well said
you are quite right. but on these important issues he says nothing.
I second the emotion.
“THE SHUT YOUR MOUTH LAW”
It is still on the books since it was introduced and passed by the Patrick John Administrtion. This is what they might use. Check it out for your selves!!
History repeats itself…gee…where is Severin to lead the match against sedition..Mamo, Rosie and Pierro turning in their graves
And it was a guyanese who advised PJ now a Guyanese Judge facilitates the installation of a new dictatorship in DA.
I say screw integration.
“Too late” and “if i had known/listened” shall be the cry of the bombomfly labourites!… Just wait and see…. DICTATORSHIP!
What type of fly are you? Maybe a VONVON..
Labour and UWP will be around way after you guys are done so keep fighting and spoiling Dominica name.
PM they say a good name is better than all the millions of dollars in the woooorrrrllllllddd…. IS THAT TRUE????????????????????????????????????
This so-called ruling in favor of Skerrit and St. Jean reminds me of a former very popular NFL player (Football) player who killed his wife (DNO I did not call name) but won his case. He celebrated the outcome and said that he was vindicated because he was innocent. However, the curse was on him and everyone including himself knew he had committed the act. However, this popular NFL star thought he could hide forever and attempted to do the same thing later. Today as we speak, he is in jail and will be there for many years. Though he used the same lawyer that defended him the first time but this time around he could not. You see, the bible teaches that One’s sin will find him out. So let Skerrit and his supporters rejoice and feel vindicated for what they all know is wrong. His day is coming and Tony will not be able to defend him forever. Your sin must find you out sir! This verdict in your favor will serve as fertilizer to encourage you to keep doing what you have been doing; but like the great Samson of old, one day your lock will depart from you.
You mean…The great…”O.J”?…
lol…
Peace!.
Yap you got it. O.J the great.
No law, no constitution should prevent a bona-fide Dominican from running for office.
Again I will reiterate that we need to change the law in order to accommodate the very same people whom the PM are daring to run for election.
The dual citizenship clause in the constitution is still barring them from contesting a seat.
If the PM truly wants them to run for office he should seriously consider changing the law. But I doubt he will.
I think that overseas Dominicans should rally against that law until it is taken out of the law books.
There are many Dominicans living overseas who have made and continue to make significant financial contributions to Dominica through their spport for community projects, schools, hospitals, farmers, the infirmary plus many more efforts and projects geared toward helping the less fortunate people of our country.
They do that while they still have a home and family to maintain overseas. Those people should be free to run for office without hindrance from the law.
I support changing the law right now because no law, no constitution should bar any Dominican from running for political office. What is good for the goose must be good for the gander.
There is free speech in DOMINICA believe u. The thing that is wrong is when people go around spreading lies and stories with no facts to prove it. That is when it becomes a major problem. And it does not become a skerrit problem it becomes a DOMINICA problem because DOMINICANS are the ones who suffer the consequences not Skerrit alone!!!!!!!!!!!
Welcome to PLANET POLITICS…the spreading of lies. Lies at election time and more lies in power.
ET, CA COMMENCE. AHHHH! CENSORSHIP AND DEMOCRACY DON’T GO HAND-IN-HAND.
SHOULD I NOW FEAR THAT MY COMMENTS ON DNO WILL BE UNDER THE WATCHFUL EYES OF THE PIED PIPER; AND THAT DNO WILL NOW PLACE MUCH MORE RESTRICTIONS ON POSTINGS THAT DON’T FAVOR THE PM, FOR FEAR OF REPRISAL?
WE DON’T LEAVE IN A VACUUM. I IMAGINE THAT TREASON TAKES A MUCH SOFTER DEFINITION IN DA RIGHT NOW.
WHEN THE FRENCH OR U.S. CITIZENS CALL FOR THE RESIGNATION OF THEIR LEADERS, THAT IS NOT CONSIDERED TREASON. IT IS CONSIDERED AN EXERCISE IN FREE SPEECH AND DEMOCRACY. WHEN THE FRENCH CITIZENS CALL FOR THE SHUT-DOWN OF PARIS, BECAUSE SARKOZY WANTS TO CHANGE THEIR RETIREMENT BENEFITS, IS THAT CONSIDERED TREASON OR AN EXERCISE IN DEMOCRACY?
THE UGLINESS OF PARTY POLITICS IS THE INABILITY TO SEE THE DITCH UNTIL ONE IS ALREADY IN IT. AN INFRINGEMENT ON ONE CITIZEN’S RIGHT, IS AN INFRINGEMENT ON ALL CITIZENS’ RIGHTS.
IF MY COMMENTS ARE NOT POSTED, I KNOW THAT THE FLUTE HAS BEGUN PLAYING.
You all want to put an end to Q95? I hope when allu children born with heart disease and allu fall from tree or need medical help, allu don’t go on Matt show on q95 to ask for money. Stupid
How many radio stations are there? We will go somewhere else!
I knew it. The next thing government will issue state of emergency and/or start arresting people on suspicion of incitements.
Your name says just how you think. Very adventurous and stupid fish!
Here comes PJ the second DLP chief 33 yrs later ll! August 29 is 7 months away.
It has come to pass. Nous fini bat.
I am the guardian of democracy in Dominica. Have no fear people, I am just waiting for him to make a serious move on free speech or other human rights for me to act.
The beginnings of a dictatorship
it may sound like dictatorship, but because we have freedon of speech, we think we can just say what we want about people and they must not react. Just listen to Lennox an them on QFM. would you like it for yourself if people is just at you like that all the time? The PM is human just like us and I know not even Lennox and them would like that for themselves.
You people are something else! You say the stuff, you ask questions for a response. Whatever response you get, take it…it is a response!
“DOMINICA”… That is what the court system is there for. Let Skerrit sue their behind, but he dare not touch that Radio station there.
We are not saying that some comments made about the PM were not demeaning to is reputation but he has to remember “what you sow is what you reap”. He was the one who started by saying “Is none of your damn business ….” and “Go to hell”….. And now that the favor is being returned he can’t stand it? No man, PM u have to come better than that.
America is the most powerful nation in the world. You think if allegations were being made against Obama like that and that was his response he’d be in office today? If we really want to move forward and take it to the next level we need to put all this child’s play behind us.Regardless if he give my 100 year old granny a cylinder or he cover my mother leaking roof. AND THAT IS THAT!
OK.So next time I can say No Law and No Constitution can prevent me from doing all the cimes I want. Oh yah, and I’ll have the judge and these fine people who support the PM to back me too right.
We are looking at Dominica intensely!
frieghtening indeed. So you wanna be a mercenary in DA on whose side may I ask?
You seem to be a chenny lover.
God is good all the time, and under pressure he preach Love,there are two Leaders ruling the world, one that will lead it’s people to greener pasture,the other leads to hell fire, and it starts with the sermon, so make your sermon on the stand be calm and compose so violence won’t explode in this copuntry,we are still Dominican.
Remember Dominica is ours to build, and no Politican or leader is bigger than Dominica or will control Dominica for ever.
This is the Arwawak curse,
Remember DOMINICA frist;
VANESSA UR HALF IDIOT!!REMOVE THAT RED CLOUD OVER UR EYESSSSSSSSSSS.SSTUPESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
damn… I made you mad… don’t collapse, otherwise you may just need the red clinic …oh wait, you may be too smart to go there..and then what?
But that’s ok… it just means 1 less ANGEL in the world.
In the US (the greatest of so-called democracies)there are people on trial for terrosrism and other serious charges for INCITING VIOLENCE. Recently in England a British born muslim cleric was jailed for calling for the destruction of that copuntry. These countries are examples of free speech and democracy YET they do not tolerate these acts. WHY SHOULD WE?????
Can we just accept a few so-called ‘Patriotic’ Dominicans calling press conference asking the US government to shut down Ross University and possibly invade our peaceful country- For What, May I Ask???? Is this all innocent free speech??? Weel, if these kind of acts are not supported in these countries, THEN we too should put a stop to it. It is now heading beyond just free speech.
At one point in time we MUST ask ourselves is all speech free?? It surely can’t be!!!!!
Thumbs up!!!!
QFM is Dominica opposition party. Linton had a carrier before he decided to be a Politicians just as the prime minister was a teacher before he decided to be a politician. Dominica is so poor that the people are blinded by their poverty and can’t see wrong. The I’ll wills by persons in Government. Dominicans be warned that this will go down in history and read by our educated grand kids. How is the entire community looking at us ! I am no politician but I speak truth to power.

WTf you talkin bout? Its not about labor and uwp its about dominica! Dominica’s youth need to start comin out to the poles cuz some ppl just ignorant and stuck in there ways.
Let the court do the work,SIR.
I believe some people in Dominica need to go to other country to hair what people saying about our so call D.L.P,we need help if you don’t have a visa don’t think you will get one!so good luck my people I have a different passport thanks to my mom and father. who vex lost
you need to read what you writing no in other countries but on your PC idiot.
Hair??? typo or no typo this one is too obivious to be a typo Uare what you are.
quel idiot,c’est vous seul qui `a l’entranger et est plus bonne a declare au sujet de la DLP pour cent d’entre vous parlent.one mauvais match entre eux.
I think Chavez said the same thing. We are teetering on the line between free speech and dictatorship. Put Dominica first.
Where is Skerrit taking his cues from, Assad or Kim Jung Il? What does he mean by that will no longer be tolerated?
Mr. Prime Minister, I have some advice for you. If you cannot stand the heat, now is the time to make your exit out of the kitchen. We cannot even contemplate you putting any kind of restriction on our freedom to express ourselves. If people make slanderous statements against you, take them to court. You have done it before, help yourself to some more.
Dominicans (including your supporters) cannot condone any attempts by you or anyone else to curtail our freedoms. That is a slippery slope were cannot affort to go down.
MISTER SKERRIT I HAVE NEVER BEEN FOR YOU NOR AGAINST YOU ,WHAT YOU ARE GOING THROUGH IS NOT A SURPRISE TO ME. RON GREEN TOOK YOU TO COURT JUST BECAUSE HE WANTS A BIGGER PIECE OF THAT CAKE ,SO LONG THESE PEOPLE ARE IN POLITICS WHAT HAVE THEY DONE FOR THE COUNTRY? WHY DO’NT THEY GIVE SOMEONE ELSE A CHANCE?
I AM A DOMINICAN BORN PERSON MISTER SKERRIT,EVERY TIME I COME TO DOMINICA THE CUSTOMS OFFICERS WHO SEARCHES THE LUGGAGES ASKS ME HOW LONG DO I COME TO STAY IN DOMINICA?DO YOU THINK THAT THIS PROFESSIONAL ,IS IT THE LAW?EVEN MY OWN CHILD GOES THE SAME QUESTION?FOR THAT REASON I HAVE TO TRANSFER ALL MY MONEY FROM DOMINICA TO A FOREIGN COUNTRY BECAUSE I DO NOT KNOW HOW LONG I WILL BE ACCEPTED IN DOMINICA…GOOD LUCK MISTER SKERRIT .
Who cares if you transfer any money…when hard time hit you, you will still run to DA…the sweetest land
I would shake your big toe. They think because they get a little blue passport or they are in another illegal they are safe. Some of The other countries are worse off than us. Some Dominicans are ashame to come back home and is on QFM & DNO they have strength. Whatthey will not do here as work they are out there doing worste jobs. GOD BLESS DOMINICA AND IT’S PEOPLE WHO ARE TRUE IT THIS LOVELY ISLAND.
Tell me please what makes Dominica sweeter than any other island in the caribbean, is it the fact that people who used to be farmers and sell food, now have to go by the maqrket on a saturday to see if they get a piece of yam? or is it the fact that come christmas time they even have to remeove the duty on barrels that are coming from the same people that you all say cant afford to come home, if Dominica was so sweet, barrels would be come up and that would prompt people to come home, I understand your bias, I love my country, but the sweetness of a country should not just be the God given beauty after all these many years, we should be able to boast of some industry, some way of live that is enriching us, the biggest brand in Dominica is the party that one supports, not pride in the things we produce, not our peacfulness as a nation, not our God fearing attitude, but whether or not you Red or Blue. I say Dominica is like any other caribean island with God given beauty, the difference is unlike most we are heading towards a dictatorship, and that where I agree with the late Pierre Charles ( of blessed memory)We do wear the ignorance as a badge of honor.
AMEN! Me and Skerro not going anywhere, we staying right here, now that is patriotism. Not being out there somewhere belching stupid dirty bubbles.
You still believe it is? No wonder you are who you are you are afraid to put your self out in the open
I am not worried about censorship!
But no law abiding and peace loving Dominican should tolerate people who openly and constantly call for the destruction of our country, especially on Q95 . .
Some of the things being said regularly:
“Shut down Roseau, block the roads”
“Close down the Blasted country”
“Remove Skerrit BY ANY MEANS Necessary”
“Get those Criminals OUT IMMEDIATELY”
“Mayhem and Chaos exist in Dominica Now”
I believe that the offenders should be gien an amnesty. . . .
But This MUST stop from 11th Janusary 2012
All BLATANT and VICIOUS LIES, put out only to harm Dominica MUST STOP!
The picture Q95 paints of Dominica is just insane. If one is listening from abroad like I do and if they really dont know Dominica then hmmmm we would be doomed. Maybe the PM should not literally take matters into his own hands but perhaps these ppl on Q95 should record themselves and playback. The things they say are really hidious. I DO NOT want my children “US born but Dominicans to the bone” to ever ever listen to the rubbish these people preach about Dominica. Is a shame!!
It is a talk show with a call in element> Yes I agree some of the callers are over the top, but to say Q95 should be shut down is taking it a bit far. The host should start censoring the callers and stop the repetitive negative callers. Matt in the morning covers all topics and current events, its not his show that’s the problem, just some of the callers.
New york.. go to Fox News instead.
So why do you even choose to listen? My simple question to another DA_NY-er
I agree. As much as sometimes they do bring out some very well hidden information to open the eyes of the public…I too have difficulty listening to Q95. It is beyond me to listen to them. It does incite hate and violence. God does not like those things.
It was about time PM They tired spoil our country name every day is the same thing…………on facebook every where u turn i wonder if they even pray…………Fear no more uwp dead for sure
He better warn himself…
skerro communism is here if you say dominica is a free country why censor ppls opinions.if you know the accusations are false why take them so personnel
He is human! Try putting yourself in his shoes…just for a moment, realise yourself as Roosevelt Skerrit and tell me what you feel. He is Human! Enough is Enough.
Here goes our freedom of expression! We were too free! Thank u PM Skerrit! Its plain to see where we’re heading! Smh
He really did say that Dominicans are too free… Anybody with common sense should take this very seriously and consider it a threat to their freedom.
Cheese Brand? lol
i agree with you Skerrit let the Dominican see the Chinese and Chavo in you whip us all
God always gives a nation a leader they deserve
Come down full on dem
Shut up!
Good!! It’s about time Mr. Prime Minister. There is a limit to protection under free speech. What these “malcontent” are doing has long crossed that line. When you go on a U.S. radio and make all these allegations then your are putting Dominica and Dominicans at great harm.
all of you who saying “yes, Skerrit” good for Q95, good for the opposition…. mind you… all of US going to pass in it, including YOU! DICTATORSHIP in our !
That is what allu want, that is what allu have been asking for. Making as if Skerrit is a damn GOD! SMDFH!
The “turn” is beginning to take shape to the direction so many feared would come one day.
haha my people mr forgot our motto man… ‘fear no more’… you have set the precedence… now ‘no law no constitution’ will stop us from taking our country from your rogue party…. it would be good for dno to publish in fine print what the judge wrote… so we can all see and comprehend… this judge blocked evidence from coming in the court and then said on the statement that no evidence was brought to show mr skerro n st jean had possession of a passport and/or showed allegiance to another country…. rubbish…. smelling worse than larbarse… and in the name of skerro….. many Dummynicans in the streets rejoicing at the total disrespect to OUR constitution by this guyanese woman… real Dominicans know whats up… even those who pretend to like d.l.p for sake of their jobs…. but we WILL take our nation back from the grips of iniquity…. shut down Q95… UM WE HAVE THE INTERNET…. WE HAVE FACEBOOK… WE HAVE TWITTER AND WE HAVE YOUTUBE… well since D.A going to be a central hub for internet traffic i guess mr skerro will get his fingers on the button to block certain traffic huh…. well is dat time he would make the biggest mistake… all those labourites with an inch of commonsense knows that skerrit is wrong but the support it because they can at least eat for the day…. how about eating for a month to a year… nope they don’t want to work hard… keep crying about chinese… wicked allu wicked… some of them have no shame… after the party n celebration… they still coming to ask people money to send there children to school…. only for the sake of an innocent child i would give to that person.. hoping the child will grow up to be different… i grew up knowing my family is poto freedom… they move to laybaw… but guess what… i always have my own mind… and frankly i don’t see what benefit the getting under laybaw… just to come and sewo in the streets then have to ask someone to pay their light bill….
I pray one day that we eradicate the freedom of these cockroaches who use the name of journalism to mislead the small percentage of stupid Dominicans who claim they want better,WHAT IS UR PLAN FOR THE COUNTRY FOOLS ?????
COMING F ROM A COCKROACH LIKE YOU GUESS WHAT, YOU AND YOUR BOGUS LEADER TRY STIFFLING FREEDOM OF SPEECH IF YOU. THAT PERCENTAGE OF STUPID DOMINICANS INCLUDES YOU, SEE HOW EASY IT WAS FOR YOU TO BELIEVE A LIE. GO READ A BOOK AND EDUCATE YOURSELF. OLD GOAT. THAT JOURNALIST GIVING YOU SOME SLEEPLESS NIGHT HAHAHAHA.
Cat…c’mon. Do you have to call people such names?…cockroaches?…I am quite sure you can be critical of those people whom you are referring to without calling them such…..What do one do to “roaches”,step on them right?…Well same rhetorical language,same inciting tone,isn’t it?….
So, it cannot be bad some to use,but OK for others to use…Remember the term…”rats” “we are going to smoke them” out?…”animals”…”we are going to crush”?.
Yes,it is true that people have a right to express their opinions,but we must be careful about the kind of “language” we use in our rhetoric…Language,is a very powerful tool.
I can understand; one is “pumped up”,with flow of adrenaline thru our veins….But we cannot loose sight of the fact that we are all Dominicans,and the fact of the matter is, to build a Nation, we must all come together as one….Politicians come and go,but People and Country remain…So let us all put our Country first…for our sake, and that of our children.
Please, I hope you understand where I am coming from.
Thank you very much….All the best to you.
REBEL!!!.
This is a dangerous comment. Do you know this is what the Hutsis used to called the Tutsis in Rwanda before the genocide attack on them? Up to 1 million of them were killed, they were called cockroaches. Be careful!
Cockroaches? Cockroaches??? Do you know that this is what the Hutu media called the Tutsi before and during the Rwandan genocide? Why are you calling people cockroaches? You would do well to temper your vocabulary before posting such inflammatory comments!!
Oh Lord censorship of the media has began!!
IT DO RIGHT! IS ABOUT TIME THEY PUT A STOP TO THIS NONSENSE CRAAAAP!
Idiot
The resurrection of Adolf Hitler! Way to go Dominica! exterminate all those who do not sing praises to the Furher!
Damn right…this cannot be tolerated under the guise of free speech.
If you have a problem – take it to the polls. Go up for election and put your money where your mouth is!
Stop using the guise of patriotism and journalism to incite the people.
Bring forth a plan and proposals to move the country forward. Take your proposals to the political platform.
Stop declaring war on Dominica, instead, prepare a post war strategy, a clean up strategy for when you get rid of Skerritt.
Everyone claims freedom of speech yet, they claim democracy is dead. How do the 2 go together?
Who ever this Vanessa is you’re a stupid moronic idiot. Under the guise of free speech? WTf is that? Free speech is free speech there is no guise if you’re speaking freely. Its free speech stupid like you vote this *** let those years run and we’ll see you crying that your ration of bread isnt good enough ******** idiot.
You are a bigger idiotic moron. The question is how does “Dead democracy” and “free speech” go together? You all claim free speech yet you say democracy is dead, so who more idiot and who more moron?
stupid moronic idiot – all meaning the samething – but let not my stupidity bother you…i’m living large, ARE YOU?
u making bom man? u living large? lol
