“It is extremely shocking!”
This is the reaction of Prime Minister Roosevelt Skerrit to allegations made by the United Workers Party (UWP) that his government is stealing UWP project ideas.
He continued, “In this regard, the DLP is promising the same international airport it said Dominica did not need and in respect of which it had bitterly criticized the UWP. It is promising the same indoor sporting facility that it discarded when it abandoned the UWP plans for an international stadium 14 years ago, the same employment for Dominicans on major infrastructure projects in respect of which it has ridiculed UWP saying better could not be done. It is also promising the same modernization and enhancement of Roseau and Portsmouth that it has ignored until the visionaries of the UWP started advocating for these upgrades in recent months.”
Meanwhile prime minister Skerrit, who is now in China, described the accusation as “total rubbish” pointing out that the Dominica Labor Party (DLP) has been speaking of and implementing projects over the past few years.
“They claim that they made those pronouncements of projects and programs in their 2000 manifesto but it is interesting to note that in 2009 they could not present a manifesto. At this stage how does the government steal an opposition party’s ideas?” Skerrit pondered.
He argued that when the DLP took office in 2009, the country was facing serious challenges however, his administration was still able to implement projects and programs despite trying times.
“The people of Dominica have already spoken and no doubt this Labour Party has demonstrated its ability to talk about projects and implement projects. When we say we are going to do something we will do it,” he said. “Some things may take longer but it will get done. When we said we were going to build a bridge down by the market it was done, when we said we were going to do the West Coast road, it was done, when we said we were going to do the sea defense in Soufriere and Scotts Head, it was done. The United Workers Party could not change not even a toilet at the (airport) terminal.”
According to him, the UWP has no contacts to do business with and as such cannot state clearly where they will secure funding for their various projects and ideas.
“We have been able to tell the people of Dominica where these projects and programs are going to come from and with a leader like Lennox Linton, who nobody really knows, who has no friends that can do business with him or for him… who are your contacts?” Skerrit stated.
Prime Minister Skerrit accused the UWP of having contacts that are only interested in taking over the island’s economic citizenship program.
He also made reference to a recently held consultation on the Roseau Enhancement Project that his party is planning to undertake in the near future as a sign that the DLP is working.
“What did the United Workers Party do about Roseau? What streets did they fix? Which drain in Roseau did they fix when they were in government?” Skerrit asked. “Talking about projects and programs and saying that the Dominica Labor Party is stealing your ideas is total rubbish and the people of Dominica know the truth; they know what the government has done and are trying under difficult circumstances.”
The Prime Minister is in China negotiating resources for the various components required to implement some of the projects proposed by the DLP.
He describes members of UWP as “panicked, confused and people who do not know what their plan is.”
“These are people who are trying to latch on to something that is not there,” Skerrit said.
The biggest airport this place will ever see is the one it has , the Chinese are bring all their cheap products duty free and sell to you morons at full prizes worthless junk and if a business man buy form over seas is full duty to compete against the Chinese that’s what you voted for wait till the Chinese start selling bread and red label rum under the counter in Roseua !
. This place is doomed !
Tell us where you going to build this airport Mr. Skerrit, and mind you say is in the air you going to build it. Just tell us where. How much is it going to cost?
@Doubting Thomas & @Simply the truth…….. we need to conduct an investigation into both you all finances…..we need you all to declare your possessions BECAUSE I KNOW VERY WELL YOU ALL HAVE BENEFITED DIRECTLY FOR SKERRIT……NOT THE DLP BUT FROM THE SAVIOUR HIMSELF….tell us what did you all get?????……money, cause he gives out money to even pay rent…..materials to build?????? cause we know people getting plywood, blocks, cement, windows, doors and NOW TOILETS….without even having land to build on……..SO TELL US WHAT DID YOU ALL GET??????? OR WAS IT MAMMY AND DADDY THAT GET??????
Skerro keep on fooling the poor but the great almighty will free his people,i have heard you say that dominica does not need an international airport,but here you are with ChARES IN China doing what,you guys know that no airport is coming,stop fooling the poor foolish people.
DNO, do you have a problem with my name why you are not posting my comments? Well I got my name from an article you posted: Dominica News Online – Tuesday, December 7th, 2010 at 10:09 AM . Here is the quote:
“In September 2007 Isidore claimed to have made a $51,000 error regarding a transfer tax calculation on a 2.989 parcel of land purchased by Prime Minister Roosevelt SKerrit at Wall House.This was subsequent to pressure from the public on a land transfer tax evasion.”
Best choice PM did it right for Wesley and Woodfordhill. Athenia she can work across the isle
I give you this one Labour
hmmm they just open a can of worms because them man going to dig up a statement made where they were against it in the first place. They using the mirror effect to disarm and infuriate them but I think it could have been done in a more strategic way without all this back lash from the opposition. I don’t who running the marketing campaigns for these parties but they suck. No matter how you put it, WE NEED an international airport BUT we not ready for it yet! Allu going to put the country in serious debt and is people children that have to pay for it because allu not putting enough viable programmes in place to make the place prosper for centuries to come. Debt does not have to be a bad thing but the state we in, it might as well be. we not ready because we have not organised enough infrastructure for this. Don’t put the cart before the horse. Don’t wave carrot before us either.
Anything that Lennox do Skerrit can do it better. Give it up Lennox you can’t walk in Skerrit’s shoes. He was born to do this.
I never knew Mr. Francis Osborne Reviere of Colihault was the acting Prime Minister after the death of Piere Charles until Mr. Roosevelt assumed the prime Ministership a day later. I wonder if the switch was smooth? I wonder if that prompted FOR to resign? Was that a sign of things to come? remember he that comes by ……shall die …….please fill the blank because I forgot the answer.
There is no way a tax calculation error is the same as stealing a vision.
I am Not Shocked that the DLP stole UWP vision. After all, Who stole the La Plaine seat? Who stole the Grand Fond seat? Who stole Wesley seat? Who stole the valley seat? Who attempted to steal the Roseau Central seat? THOU SHALT NOT STILL!!! The views of $51K tax error and DNO I simply ask questions and called no names ok.
the government of dominica is doing pretty for the people
“it is interesting to note that in 2009 they could not present a manifesto.” Believe it or not those were the words of PM Skerrit. My question is, what is the sense of presenting a manifesto? Between 1995 -1999, it was clear that the then UWP administration used their manifesto as the bible. Every single thing they articulated was indeed followed. Between 2000 to 2005, the DLP produced a manifesto but my God! Not one thing they promised was implemented. But I forgive them because it was the vision of Rosie Douglas, who passed in 2000 and Piere Charles who replaced him was backstabbed by those within, until he passed in 2004, which paved the way for Skerrit after Osborne Riviere was…? That takes us to the 2005 elections. The DLP again had a manifesto and not one thing articulated in the manifesto was followed. Not One! That takes us to the 2009 election where the DLP produced a manifesto. But can anyone point me to one policy that has been implemented? Not one! So what is the sense of manifesto? Just to print lies and more lies?
Who cares who build the AIRPORT…… as long as we get the airport which has been in the air since DFP was in power…If Skeritt gets the go lets go, and if Lenox gets the go then the more the merrier 50/50….the airport no matter which party builds it still belongs to we the people of the land….cause the government is structured around the people…
If Skeritt or Linton wants to buy themselves submerging, all they have to do is get the contract pocket the money and do a little jail time….brush off the dirt come back brand new….guess they won’t need new airport…and what do we do when they already start digging our little one we all need to visit our aunty….
Let those with ideas do what need to be done for the better of the country…may it be DLP, UWP, DFP, Parpy or alliance…BUT…. we all know Skeritt is back on cause some of the blogger are not even able to vote….
I will vote online for Skeritt or maybe he might send me a first class ticket from where I am to there….
When were the Americans coming to help Dominica with an International Airport and the then Leader of the UWP wrote to them and asked them to stay way from the affairs of Dominica?
Does the UWP Leader has any recollection of this happening? Then for heaven sakes how can the idea of an international airport for Dominica that of the United Workers Party?
See how silly this sounds; and where in heavens name would he have had that idea? Didn’t he see an international airport before 2000? And that idea just came to his head and then he invented international airports? The idea must have come from someone else, no?
Talking about taking ideas? From who did all of the countries who have airports got their idea to have one from? The UWP Leader?
Where did Dominica and all other countries learn of developing their country; beautifying their cities, building indoor spotting arena’s, etc. etc. etc. from the brilliant mind of the UWP Leader?
I mean Dominicans should stop making us look so stupid to the outside world is not as if that the man is telling us he invented and patent something as creative as the Light bulb or something like that! An international Airport? Every Tom Dick and Harry and Mary Jane has been talking about an international airport for Dominica.
Tell me something that has not been used or seen anywhere in the world you have invented and show me where the Prime Minister and the DLP took the idea from you.
The UWP Leader must have been in a deep sleep from 2000 to 2014 because obviously he is trying to pretend all those years in between never happened.
The man is going from a 2000 manifesto in 2014? From Edison James to him? He wants to forget that they were in opposition for as long as the Labour Party has been in Power?
I cannot believe the man’s thinking that it was the UWP idea for Dominica to have an international airport. Ma gwa Sa!
The Leadership of the UWP of Earl Williams and Ron Green as far as he is concerned never happened. These UWP people are delusional. They not ready yet.
Wake up take the Pm out of your !utt.
Mr. Skerrit please stop insulting people-it seems like you are an expert at it. If that is the best Dominica can do as a leader then wo be on to us a people.
The reality is that musicians take, borrow and steal from other musicians, writers do the same thing. And yes politicians do the same thing. Could you have said something like- ‘they are mistaken and move on with the business of Dominica’?
I hope the next elections proves otherwise.
Humpty -dumpty sat on a wall
humpty- dumpty started to fall,
first to run was Isidore,
then all the rest came tumbling down,
OH what a splish splash it is going to be.
PM final icing on the cake you know what ?
THEY WILL SAY YOU STOLE THE ELECTION FROM THEM IT WAS THEIR IDEA.
A real test of this allegation is to view the last two manifestoes of each party.
This allegation is so like the UWPwee; always bellyaching about nothing. Absolutely puerile and foolish!!!
What a shame the leader of a party does’nt have a constituency his name did not mentioned to any. What happened to Maynard?
So development ideas are exclusive property of political parties? UWP should not implement or consider a good DLP idea and DLP should not implement a good UWP idea? Continues to explain why our beloved DA is 20 years behind in terms of development. Good Luck.
Ok Skerrow well to settle all your issues let the Political wave come nuh and lets see who survive,,,
Like Marn said in some other Post, Go China take how long you want to do whatever you want to do, but when you reach back Dominica lets set up the vibes to call Elections yeh,,,
Let the Masses say whom they want to manage their capital projects, actually the true government of Dominica is the Masses yeh,,,
Domininca seems to be the only place in the world still suffering as a result of recession. incompetent jackasses!!
“Meanwhile prime minister Skerrit, who is now in China, described the accusation as “total rubbish” pointing out that the Dominica Labor Party (DLP) has been speaking of and implementing projects over the past few years.”
Indeed, but what sort of projects?
One of the easiest way for one to loose his/her credibility, is when they endeavor to distort or deny the truth! I do not know if the UWP ever propose a State House, I know they had plans for a few Hotels, as such land near Wesley was designated for the purpose. No one can deny that the International Airport was indeed the brain child of the UWP.
Anybody who would deny that would be doing themselves an injustice, and in the process would loose the peoples’s trust, their credibility will have to be called into question. To deny that the International Airport was not an UWP idea we would have to ask why did this Labor Party Government led by the late Roosevelt “Rosie” Douglas, and the chief instigator Athie Martin, along with Ian Douglas and company shut down the International Airport when it was in it first stages of Development?
One would have to ask why the Secondary School in Wesley was moved from the old demonstration center to where it is now located. The answer to that is because where it was first located was probable in the flight path. If the International Airport was not an idea of the UWP, we need to know what happened to the millions of U. S. dollars the Taiwan government made available to the UWP to be used in the construction: we remember they also gave an equivalent amount to Gonzalez of St. Vincent for the building of his International Airport which will go into operation later this year. We need to also ask the Labor Party what happened to the amount of money the PRC, the very same Chines government contributed to the same project?
And if the International Airport was not an UWP idea, why did the Labor Party the day they siege power over fifteen years ago chase the Trinidadian contractors, and engineers who were in Dominica working on the Secondary School in Wesley, and on the first phase of the International Airport.
You see where as some people do have very short memory, many of us do not forget easily, and it is very uncomfortable for one to sit and discover that the truth is being distorted, and not say anything about it. I conclude the International Airport was always, and forever be the brain child of the UWP, it is the same one the Labor Party said we had no use for, it is the same one Gonzalez, of St. Vincent advised them would serve no purpose, instead they this present government should simply refurbish the old dilapidated terminal, and install landing lights on the runway, which would cause aircrafts to land at Melville Hall all day and night.
That is common knowledge; Gonzalez made a fools out of them and took the money he got from the Taiwan government, and ensured he builds an International Airport in St. Vincent.
Francisco Etienne-Dods Telemaque
This is the best you all can come up with? Sad.
This is small… Hmmmmm. Let us Think Villas, apartments, garbage bins, fertilizer, let us think land and land transfer fees, let us think passport, let us think $18 million ICT Europeans fund, $3.5 million house, let us think Layou river hotel and $52 million, Penvielle water project, let us think public works, let us think Russians vs geothermal + Easy Door, Think yellow bus, excavator, manager #2, CBD, waw, ….. Enough I can’t type more. Just think think think.
“When we say we are going to do something we will do it,” he said. “Some things may take longer but it will get done.”
Very well said Mr. Skerrit. The DLP even delivered what they did not promise although they took time. Example:
In September 2007 they made a $51,000 error regarding a transfer tax calculation on a 2.989 parcel of land purchased by Prime Minister Roosevelt SKerrit at Wall House. This was subsequent to pressure from the public on a land transfer tax evasion. DNO – Tuesday, December 7th, 2010.
You mean to tell me UWP call a press conference to tell people Skerrit stole their ideas? That is so childish! So if the country need something done, Skerrit have to forget about it because it in UWP manifesto? Nonsence!!
Well, I gues Linton will have to sue Skerrit for copyright infringement?
Wa papa. The book of lies are being manifested once more. Continue don’t stop mr. PM. you are just showing us what is inside. Lies and deception. We have respect for the office that you hold and not you. You don’t deserve it.
FEAR NO MORE, FEAR NO MORE.
Mr. Linton and the UWP leadership, with all your foreign trips you all taking, up to this day we at the Vieille Case constituency have not heard or seen our UWP candidate. I see them putting candidates in constituencies that have never voted UWP before and keep pushing the Vieille case constituency which voted them in 1995 and had a good run in 2000. They CANNOT allow themselves to go down the drain without giving us a candidate that can really push Skerrit to the wall. Please win the election here before trying to win it abroad. WE need our candidate!
Itassi too jealousy is a crime , Maynard did nothing for Vieille case no Mrs. Bellony see what they to her. She won her seat and she was minister without portfolio and those who lose were ministers.
“When we said we were going to do the West Coast road, it was done..”
Mr. PM, you are caught being untruthful sir! Mr Skerrit, you told us you were going to build a 3 lane High Way from Portsmouth to Roseau. Where is it? Did you build it as promised? Do you really believe all Dominicans are stupid? I can understand you taking credit for resurfacing the West coast road but to lie and try to take credit building the west coast road is false and any laborite as blind as they may be will tell you that you gave us a 6 for a 9
“When we said we were going to build a bridge down by the market it was done, when we said we were going to do the West Coast road, it was done, when we said we were going to do the sea defense in Soufriere and Scotts Head, it was done. The United Workers Party could not change not even a toilet at the (airport) terminal.”
Mr. Skerrit, when UWP told us they were going to build a High School in Grandbay, it was done in 4.5 years. When the UWP told us they were going to erect a High School in Castle Bruce, they did that in 4.5 years. When they told us they were going to erect a building in Roseau which would serve as financial engine of the island, they built the Financial Center in 4.5 years. When they told us they were going to build the Warner road, they did it in 4.5 years. When they told us they were going to build a sea defense wall in Pointe Mitchell, they built it in 4.5 years. When they told us they were going to build a sea defense wall under the cliff, they did it in 4.5 years. When they told us they were going to build sea defense in Coulibistrie, they did in 4.5 years. When they told us they were going to regulate communication in Dominica so that Digicel, Orange and others could all compete in a fair and open market, they did in 4.5 years. Time will not allow me to mention the many things they promised and delivered in just 4.5 years. So think before you talk mr. talker.
I like this I like it a lot
Well PM if you’re shocked, I myself ‘shockment”. I still laughing!
@overseer
you making me laugh
” When we said we were going to build a bridge down by the market it was done, when we said we were going to do the West Coast road, it was done, when we said we were going to do the sea defense in Soufriere and Scotts Head, it was done. The United Workers Party could not change not even a toilet at the (airport) terminal.”
Mr. Skerrit, after 15 years in office all you can talk about is 1. A. bridge you built 2. west coast Road that was resurfaced and sea defense wall in Soufriere and Scotts Head? Mr Skerrit, please compare the DLP achievements with your person status. Sir in 15 years you moved from an average poor citizen to a multi millionaire on a Prime Minister’s salary. will you please tell us what is the secret of your prosperity so that we could help our children to follow your example? Why so selfish? Why keep it to yourself? Is it that there are things you are not proud of?
So workers really believe they can win an election?
No they cannot win any election. Labour will win for ever and ever amen.
I hope when a child come to your door for a hand out you will not them they have to give to get ..ha ha ha.. change is amust
All u hand out loving brainwashed ego maniacs labourers believe all u have so much supporters lol ah ah ah. Lol doe make what all u see in St Joe full all u lol .I was at St Joe dress up full in red wit flags me and my friends we came there just for the action lol .After everything finish I throw the flag in a precipiece and I dump the cloths in the garbage bin
all what all u give me I taking it .but my X can never go by that shoe again lol
@jim
that is right labour wining forever and ever. hahaha
Yes we do! And why shouldn’t we? Dominicans have expressed their frustration, the UWP has a team of highly qualified professionals, and clearly have the right ideas and strategies to stimulate the economy, which is why the DLP is playing copycat at the 11th hour.
Some Dominicans too like to play the fool. If Skerro really cared about an int’l airport he would have been actively seeking a financier from 5-10 years ago. Instead he rams thru a State House and other non-incoming generating projects and now on election eve he claims the airport is a priority?
A win for Skerrit is a lose for Dominica. Anyone who thinks otherwise after 14 years of theft, corruption, disrespect and poor economic growth, has either sub-average IQ, has never left Dominica’s shores or is on Skerro’s “pay roll/charity list”.
@intellect
that’s what they think, we red red red ready
It does not take a rocket scientist to figure out that the PM must have gone into the UWP 2000 manifesto and stole some ideas most likely thinking that to go back 14 years would be a safe bet he could get away with it, but now he is exposed so he is just acting like a boy who is shocked to find that he got caught with his hand in the cookie jar. It is shocking that Skerrit is negotiating for an international airport without knowing or saying where he is going to put it.
I’m not party affiliated but it has been said that crompton point would be the location for the international airport
Darling there wasn’t any manifesto to begin with. They stated they were gonna launch a manifesto. We are yet to see it. Congrats on their new launching. But d underdog needs to go and get the education and experience and roll the dice and come again.. LOL
UWP should not be taken serious about anything in Dominica’s politics and its development. They are simply not ready yet and that is very disappointing.
UWP shouldn’t be taken seriously, but their ideas should be?
The DLP has clearly taken away so much of Dominicans’ dignity and ability to hope for better that many are beginning to sound like they suffer from battered lover’s syndrome. Yes the love affair with Skerro has soured and he has embarassed and abused the nation and its treasury. But UWP will restore some of that hope and bring Dominica on par with its island neighbors.
UWP is more ready than ever and you and Skerrit know that which is why he is trying to do what he should have many years ago. Clearly his interest has not been Dominica’s development but his bank accounts’! Now that his financial future is in jeopardy he is finally trying to do what Dominicans have been demanding for decades. THAT, my friend, is what is very disappointing!
he was yfm that spred troble -hate, the labourites was communist for him and the cartholic Church was his main support you should know who was deep in ,it to day he is LABOUR not communist my dominican pep we are putting some video ,short films together of what vieille case is today, our camarers a HIDDEN AND SMALL ,you will have it on youtube soon ,just look for vieille cae best, coming very soon.
Forget about your “camarers” and go back to school to learn to speak proper English first, so we don’t need an interpreter for your message. Sinply awful.
Sinking Skerrit Jumps on UWP Boat for Rescue.
Most voters will agree, that when after three consecutive terms, and fifteen years in Government a Political Party has to take the Opposition Party Manifesto of 15 years ago, literally from front cover to back cover, as its only way forward to seek re-election, that Party has nothing more to offer, and its time for it to go. Furthermore, like it or not, it is a natural instinct, done by reflex action for someone on a sinking ship to jump unto the safe ship next to it. Also, it is well known, that when a big.. fall into the deep blue sea, it will make a big, big splash. Well that is what we saw in St Jo, on May 5th. Mr. Skerrit jumping from his sinking labour ship ,diving into UWP Manifesto 2000 for rescue, whilst the DLP vessel coming out empty of any plans of its own, but with a big, big, splash, like all empty vessels, makes the most noise.
Skerrit Jumps on UWP Manifesto 2000-Front Cover – International Airport
If you look on the front cover of the UWP 2000 Manifesto, you will see the picture of the international Airport started by UWP in 1997. When the DLP came into Government in 2000, DLP stopped construction of the International Airport, abandoned it for 15 years, saying Dominica does not need an international airport. In their 2005 campaign, the DLP even brought down Prime Minister Ralph Gonzales of St Vincent to tell us that Dominica does not need an international airport, all Dominica needs is night landing. This same international airport started by the UWP, and stopped by the DLP, is what Mr. Skerrit is now proposing as the main reason why we should give him a fourth chance. Oh no. Fifteen years and three chances were more than enough time for Mr. Skerrit to complete the UWP International airport, and even build another one..
Skerrit Finally Lands up on UWP Manifesto 2000 Back Cover –Indoor Gymnasium
If you looks at the back page of that same UWP 2000 Manifesto, you see the picture of The international Stadium, which the UWP began constructing in 1999, with the main stadium for football, cricket and athletics, the Multipurpose indoor gymnasium for volleyball, basketball and other indoor sports, and a Sports lodge to house 100 players. Also shown to the east, is the football practice field. When the DLP came into Government, they broke down the International Stadium, destroyed the Indoor Sports facility, destroyed the Sports Lodge, destroyed the Football practice field, on which government had already spent over $12 million dollars, and replaced it with what we have today. No indoor Sports facility, no football practice field and no Sports lodge. At St Joseph, Mr Skerrit in admitting that he has finally come around to the UWP Manifesto 2000 indoor sports facility proposal, does not even apologize for his 15 years of neglect, but goes on to make this look like the idea has suddenly emerged. Hear Mr. Skerrit: “There is another project that I want to talk about this evening,” he said. “This one ladies and gentlemen is hot, I can’t keep it till budget in June…This evening, I say to all sporting associations in Dominica, and all sporting enthusiasts within the hearing of my voice, you need to speak no more. The government is sold on the idea..” Mr. Skerrit must be held accountable, and made to pay the price for the serious damage done to the sporting careers of Dominica’s youth and in many cases the lives that have gone a stray due to his abandonment of this sporting facility for fifteen years. When you look at the picture of Mr. Skerrit, you will see he has gotten fat. Its time for Mr. Skerrit to go.
Roseau Restoration Works began under Workers- Was Stopped by DLP
The Third Major Project which Mr. Skerrit is banking on for his re-election, is the Roseau Restoration Project. Whilst planning for the Roseau Restoration Project began under the Freedom Party, actual works began under the UWP, with the Roseau Sewage Project. The Roseau Restoration Project which Mr Skerrit met already in 2000 was designed to go continuously from phase one to completion. The Water and Sewage Project being phase one, and the other phases being the underground laying of cables and the covering of all drains, the restoration of sidewalks with bricks, like in front of the PrevoCinemall, the development of the Roseau-Botanic Gardens ring road, and the paving of all the streets of Roseau. The other aspect of the Roseau Restoration Project, was the Preservation of Old Roseau, referred to as the French Quarter. The money for this Project was to come from the Kuwaiti Fund and the European Union, and the bulk of the money had already been negotiated.
The DLP government mismanaged the sewage project, running it into costs overruns of several millions, and time over run of more than two years. The DLP Government then abandoned the Roseau Restoration Project, except for the Ring Road, and used the Kuwaiti Fund money for all kinds of other things.
In the case of the Restoration of the French Quarters, the DLP made this into a DLP political, football, and squandered the EU money without achieving the Restoration of Roseau.
Well that is what we saw in St Jo, on May 5th. Mr. Skerrit jumping from his sinking labour ship, diving into UWP Manifesto 2000 for rescue, whilst the DLP vessel came out empty with a big, big, splash, like all empty vessels, making a lot of noise, making no apology for the fact that the main reason why Dominica is still so backward, with no jobs for the youth, and local businesses closing down, making cost of living so high, and life so hard, is that the DLP failed to complete the three most important projects which they met started, when they came into office in 2000. The international Airport, The International indoor Sports facility and the Roseau Restoration Project. Had the Roseau Restoration Project been continued from 200 to now, Roseau would now be one of the most pleasant, most attractive and most desirable cities for visitors and residents alike. Carnival Cruise line which pulled out of Roseau after 21 years of calling every week, and which pulled out in 2010, because of the poor experience in Roseau, would still be calling in our Port of Roseau weekly.
Norris Prevost
Prevost you must be getting senile. Even you cannot believe what you wrote. Give it up sir. Time to fade into the twilight.
@Norris Prevost I call them a team of DUNCE CATS! Time to KICK THEM OUT!
Well said Sir…!
The undisputed facts as stated by you Mr Prevost is as clear as daylight
You stated that the airport started in 1997 so where is it.
Your claims are preposterous Prevost. I asked a friend of mine if she really believes that the United Workers Party can accomplish governance and she told me honestly,
‘Yes’.
I was not the least bit surprised. The impetus is her family’s connection with the ‘top forces’ of the UWP. These people are people who sit at their tables and before prayer, breakfast, lunch and dinner, rant and rave about the Prime Minister and the DLP’s corruption in government. They will seat for hours trash-talking the PM and never once recognise the good he does, never acknowledge the help he’s administered, never commend his efforts. Being the leader of a country is not easy, it takes dedication, hard work and FAITH in God. Your so called ‘incoming pm’ lenli may be very articulate and possess capability of making up stories but he is still severely under-qualified and inexperienced to be the leader of the country.
Mr Prevost, your elite days are over. deal with it.
@norris prevost
i feel your pain believe me i do.. but you all wron to go watch sun setting..
Really, Norris? Really?
Are our minds that small?
This is pure nonsense. There are doers and there are talkers and talkers cannot be doers. UWP was selling plans and ideas they themselves couldn’t dream of completing. An international airport isn’t a UWP idea that’s a national idea, since Eugenia Charles was in power Dominicans have been talking about an international airport. ALLUDOHREADYET!
You were the pal rep for most of that time what have you done for Roseau beside occupy prime real estate and make money from renting it out. This was supposedly ur last term in as pal rep when in the past 4 yrs have you championed for Roseau all u did was stay out parliament that all u all did was criticized , now there is a difference between constructive criticism that will lead to progress and betterment and criticizing just to be negative and oppose. Think long and hard if you had done the job you were elected to do maybe Roseau would be better off now so
I support you concern, who ever you are that’s a good point.
Lennox must have forgotten all his talk shows he never had a plans much more for an International Airport.
2000 to 2005 UWP where was Skerrit?
“Ideas” is not really the real issue, Since most of the ideas to develop Roseau, and Dominica are pretty old and are constantly recycled.
In fact, its silly to fault someone for implementing or wanting to implement your “good idea/s” for the development of your beloved country
However, It is difficult to convince the electorate that you would be better able to complete proposed projects, than a government who have completed so many major projects in their present term in office.
Therein lies UWP’s great dilemma
There is no dilemma, the DLP has ushered in the projects that THEY wanted to see, not necessarily what the country needed/wanted.
The electorate is divided by color, not by confusion over who can deliver. They know darn well that if the DLP felt this project was a priority they would have broken ground years ago. Objective and smart voters know that the DLP have made MANY broken promises over the years and the sudden emphasis on the airport is a last ditched effort to win some votes.
It may seem silly to say you stole my good idea if you actually implemented the project during your term. But to suddenly “say” you are gonna do it when there isn’t enough time to make it happen, that is political trickery at its height. Why would anyone who sees the airport as a priority trust a party that are promising to do it IF elected, after 14 years of doing nothing when they were?!
Good point.
under his bed that manifest was man must. so long uwp say that was online at last they print it haha . big joke.
@ali. Yes we. Under the bed at the villas.
Boy you are good!
Yes we. Under the bed in the lilac painerd apartments.
HAVE YOU HEARD OF THEM?
Do you know who own them?.
CHANGE IS A MUST!
i sense some hostility there. even looking at google earth 2013 a blind man can see da is progressing. those favors allu waiting for workers to do for allu when they come back have allu going gaga. stay there still waiting for the wicked devils to come back.
this is a 2000 manifesto. the 2009 one that was on line. you just like to criticize. listen think read before you open your mouth.
Yes, you pilfered, and has always been doing so for a long time.
Tell the people of the country how a Dominican prime minister becomes a millionaire on a prime minister salary in Dominica?
shame on you, how many under table deals have you signed, and what was your cut? do you get a cut for every project or investment deal that you signed to help the people you are suppose to represent and get jobs for? where is the china MOU?
Current Dominica government could be the most corrupted in its history
@true Good one.! Ha! Ha! Ha! Mobney is good just for one set, so you will NEVER know. What you need to do is like me. Talk to neighbour, friends and all to VOTE HIM OUT.
Tell us how workers paying for all those expensive trips and accommodations for several members.
@INTERESTING According to Skerrit where UWP is getting money for their trip is None of Your Dam Business. Go to Hell’ ‘Go To Hell’ ‘Go To Hell”. That’s how Skerrit answered a similar question posed to him. He insulted you!
“It’s none of your dam business.. go to hell, go to hell, go to hell” I’m just repeating the words of my leader.
But seriously though, how come you didn’t ask Skerrit where he took the money to build the Villas and the Lilac building in Picard?
Worker will answer that with no problem…..contributions from the people who wants a better Dominica.
But you cannot ask your sitting govt who using your tax monies any questions about how they are mis-managing it while you become poorer.
All you afraid of Skerrit !!!!!!!
But wait, if you love your country and your plans come to fruition, shouldnt you be glad. So UWP vex then. They should be happy and then make more plans. BY THE WAY THEIR MANIFESTO STILL ON LINE SO HOW THE PM GET IT. GROW UP UWP AND STOP CRYING, STUPESSSSS
@mrs p.m
true that.. by the way what is the website for me to view their so called manifesto
Now 4 of us know the election date and more. Thanks to the interpreter of ‘speaking in tongues’. Well, Hire 11, does not only capture the man on the celluphone. A baby cries, the cries were funny, like one who is trying to talk. Ah la la ou la, sqi quac, sqi quac. etc. In English: Da, Da, Da, Dagwood, won’t forgive me if I burb the election date..keep it safe…And Da Dawood won’t forgive if I burp the colossal piles of corruptions and underhand deals he confessed to me; for this one I do not care. If he does not forgive himself, how does he expect us to forgive him. He has turned from man to beast. Now he is filled with anxiety. His addiction to corrupt practices and lies and deception must stop. I do not wish to follow in his foot-steps.
Just by reading your comments it appears that youmall left school in standard 2 idiots. Look Skeritt put college there for allyou
Dear Dominican UK
I am not sure that you should have made such derogatory comments about the standard of education of the previous contributor, as judging by your grammar, one would assume that you left school at standard 1.
Those who live in glass houses , should not throw stones!
lol lol now that was an excellent response
Rubbish rubbish grow up please are you guys hoping to hold DA in the palm of your hands not in your dreams allyou to childish. It is about Dominica’s best interest not about getting one on Labourites come on let us work together to make a better Dominica.
I emember the numerous callers saying: ” You all are not afraid he steals your ideas” And so said so done.
It is not stealing of ideas because the Labour Party has also spoken about these plans.
What I am happy about is that the UWP under Lennox Linton is now exerting a new kind of pressure on the Skerrit administration to deliver more. And, I like it. I really like it!
Thank you UWP for being a good opposition. I hope we don’t loose you all anytime soon so that Skerrit can do what he has to do. That is, taking DA to the next level.
Skerrit stop your BACKWARD THINKING. Why can’t you have a manifesto online? So you can see why Team Domninica will always be ahead of those DUNCE CATS in the Labour Party in terms of thinking and vision for Dominica?
Stop the fear mongering, CHANGE IS A MUST, NOT AN OPTION!
.
But there was never an online manifesto, don’t be an idiot!
do u think is everybody that can go online or even use a pc to see manifesto online workers supports just like there leaders allu byass
PURE CHILDISH RESPONSE PM
The UWP was able to outline these projects in their 2000 manifesto; Mr. Linton showed it at their press conference for all to see. Skerrit must now hold a press conference and show us where in his 2009 manifesto mention was made of an international airport and the other projects he is now claiming to originate with his visionless and bankrupt labour party. Skerrit supported by the Nassiefs have been saying all along that Dominica does not need an international airport. The question that must now be asked is ,what all of a sudden has changed?? Skerrit is only using this airport gimmick to score cheap political points.
I suppose the UWP will never be able to implement it therefore we should be pleased that it’s being executed. I know if NO political party that would give credit to another party for their good idea. Every political party would amend the idea and it becomes their own. That’s the nature of politics! At least we’re on our way to having the airport we’ve longed for and need for several years!! Let’s be pleased and pray that God helps us to achieve it. God bless DOMINICA!!
Today, what difference does it make? Times change and so do people, their ideas, visions and words. What is required now is to move on.
The PM plans to construct an international airport. He is in China negotiating it, for funds.
How did UWP plan to do so? How would they obtain the funds?
With all this wrangling, prospective overseas donors are reading, listening and paying attention. I wonder if they are pleased with UWP, the leader?
It appears that the Chinese government is extremely comfortable with the PM and doing business with him. Consider this and live and let live.
Imitation is the greatest form of flattery! You are inadvertently giving credit to your opposition Roosevelt.
There is no doubt in my mind that the DLP is bankrupt of ideas and they are now going back on the ideas of UWP which they labeled as “Bad” and would cause our children and grand children in debt. I am happy they are finally running back to them is just that if they had put their politics behind and put Dominica first, we would be far better off today. But to tell us for 15 yrs that we could not afford an international airport and even paid the PM of St. Vincent to come and say this same thing to us, while we literally dumped millions on dollars on a fail night landing airport makes this government useless to me. The question is, is our economy better off today than 15 years ago? The answer is a resounding no. So if we could not afford them 15 years ago, why should I believe we can afford them today especially when we all know both Chavez and Gadafi are dead. Skerrit just needs to start packing and let team Dominica finish what UWP started 15 years ago. Goodbye Skerrit and enjoy China
Nothing in the world is more dangerous than sincere ignorance and conscientious stupidity
I have a firm belief that Skerrit CANNOT be college educated. This guy talks like kinder garden child. What nonsense about Lennox having no contacts? NO one knew skerrit until he became Prime Minister! What garbage is this man really saying. All Prime Ministers and Presidents becomes internationally recognized whenever they take office. They build their relationship from their on behalf of their country. Is Skerrit really sober or just think that Dominicans are just red, lazy, greedy and stupid?
Who knew skerrit before he took office, can someone please tell me? This man DOES NOT have a college education. He fails critical thinking and lack BASIC reasoning. He would fail convent Prep entrance exams/interview!!
Dear Mr. Skerrit, you are delusional and I feel sorry for you. Your so called contacts are there only for as long as you provide them with what they want. Whoever is the P.M. of Dominica will always be the P.M. of a very small country, insignificant in world affairs. I have no problems with that. Just remember, it is easy to have many contacts and friends as long as you buy the drinks!
That is why he is where he is and you are here writing nonsense on a blog. Jealousy is glaucoma of the soul.
Dear 4u2C
While I respect your opinions as everyone’s opinions should be respected, you must be careful of the statements you make. Do your research first.
I am not a political person but Mr. Skerrit taught me in college and I know enough about him to know that he DOES have a college education.
So be careful what you say.
You write about “kinder garden child”. You copied someone’s words (you should know whom) from this Website but you copied it wrong because you had never heard of that word, if especially you reside in D/ca. I will not inform you how it is spelt.
You cannot spell and you are a copier. Whenever you do, ensure that you spell the words correctly. Therefore, when you critic the PM ensure that you know what you are stating and what you stated is accurate. Too often the pot calls the kettle black.
Let me help you with your spelling, and grammar, “Simply the Truth”. In your penultimate sentence “critic” ( noun) should read “critique” (verb).
skerrit since wen u have plans nuh……u jus dr runnin all over the place like mad man……….
@stupes A HEADLESS CHICKEN.
Scared he secared. Can you remember when he challenged Linton to come into the ring? He thought he was talking to one of his followers who see him as God.
THANK YOU LINTON!
Learn respect.
Man sterile find all u own manifestos .All u claiming all u have plan for Dominica and all u taking ideas from up? ? (Lol so long all u in power .stupes. u say Dominica doe need international airport now u running China to talk about airport lol.boi that labour party is a joke.waiste of time. But u can stay China uno cuz we doe want u in Dominica. Lennox for pm.change is a must!!!!
Possie stop talking nonsense boy and go find a book to read. Worker first that tell Americans Dominica don’t need an international airport.
Thank you DNO for making my comments go through. But you’ll know it’s the facts and plain truth I am speaking. I don’t care about the million dislikes, this just proves that my point have hit a core.
“He argued that when the DLP took office in 2009, the country was facing serious challenges however, his administration was still able to implement projects and programs despite trying times”.
Skerrit, if the DLP took office in 2009 as stated above, which political party was in power between 2000-2009? was it not that same Labor party.
You start to depalay? Lennox’ argument was not about 2009 but 2000, the year that the DLP formed the government and killed everything they met.
The UWP left office and had the country in a bad state. Do you forget when the IMF had to come to Dominica? How was our treasury?
A Doubting Thomas – Go and ask the Labour party how was the treasury nuh. Remember, it was around 2002/2003 the IMF came in and Dominica ended up with Stabilization Levy etc..
If the treasury had no money when the DLP came into power in 2000, then tell me how the country operated from 2000 – 2002/2003 nuh.
This backward government was backward from the time they entered into government. No ambition, no vision……….AND PLAIN LAZY. Go and ask them why is from 2002/2003 they had to put in structural adjustment programs and not from 2000. After all, y’all claim the treasury was empty when the Labour party came to power in 2000.
IMF came to dominica in 2002 2 years after labour was in government. So tell me if the treasure was broke why did it take so long for the IMF to come? How was the government able to service it’s debts and pay civil servants? Skerries will continue to play on the minds of labour items cuz they lack basic understanding.
@Doubting Thomas, you need to stop doubting and do some listening so you could understand. UWP left power in 2000. The ONLY reference to 2000 Skerrit cleverly made was about 2000 manifesto. His argument was about when the DLP took office in 2009, the country was facing serious problems. My point is, the DLP took power in 2000. Why is he trying to erase 9 years of DLP? MY friend, you made mention of IMF but to the best of my knowledge the IMF put us under manners in 2002-2003, when the DLP had been in power for over 2 years. Here is part of what IMF reported on Oct. 9, 2002. “After growing on average by about 2½ percent during 1996-99, real GDP stagnated in 2000 and is estimated to have contracted by 4½ percent in 2001, as banana production fell 2001.”
How soon do some people forget. They do not have a memory and need to be reminded. Those who resided in D/ca and overseas know fully well the state Dominica was in then.
D/ca residents were not pleased with UWP and its leader. Dominica had gone down the drain then. Why do they pretend to forget what transpired in those days and how unhappy nationals were?
Did I not read on this Website that someone wrote about a hotel that leader built in B/dos? Why do they not mention it? Have they forgotten about it? Where did he get the money to build such an expensive hotel? They should also concentrate on that when they critic the PM.
You mean this is the discussion that the UWP leadership is bringing forward? I am ashamed. You are the party in opposition and you got to say what is good for Dominica. If you said that an international airport or any other project is good for Dominica, isn’t it the peoples business to ensure that what you say is given some consideration by the Govt.? Doesn’t the Government have to consider all ideas, even those of the opposition for the Development of Dominica?
To say that the Government is stealing your ideas is not only being childish but also shows that you cannot be trusted with the management of Dominica. Would you rather destroy the projects and plans that are now moving Dominica forward because they were implemented by the DLP in to satisfy your ego?
Dominica belongs to us all, and we all must play our part, even you the opposition, to develop it. The Government must be inclusive and consider and develop all ideas that are for the betterment of Dominica. Now, under the Freedom Govt., UWP Govt and now DLP, there have been talks about building an international airport. Each political party have been promising that. I have been a strong advocate for it. Whether the DLP was against it or for it, it doesn’t matter. What matters is whether they can get it done today and in a sustainable way.
We vote people that can get things done and if the DLP can “STEAL” as you said, all your proposed or promised projects that you have and get it done, as well as theirs, then my vote goes to them. You will be better served being in opposition, coming up with ideas and having the Government bring them to a reality. We all have our place in life and this may just be yours. Dominica before politics.
2UWP You are one of Skerrits classical clown. If tomorrow he comes and say he no longer wants the internmational airport, right away you change and say the same thing.
Slaves likes you need to go to night school, so that Skerrit will not use you as a puppet blurting his trash after him.
I will not say that you are a fool, because even you have an opinion. However, with a dead brain it takes more than you to insult me. I hold no allegiance to any political party. I vote for the who can get things done. As long as the DLP can secure developers for the International Airport, they will be deserving of another term, hence my vote to them. So instead of your insults, educate yourself and know the benefits of civility and respect.
They will say so be it. They cannot fight the impossible. Sensible people will act in this manner.
Some of you write some insensible comments, accusing others of what you should be accused of. Are you not a UWP slave and puppet? In future, think twice before you comment.

Can you remember when Skerrit came from China just before the 2005 general election and was slapping his SMALL chest about SIX PILLAR PROJECTS?.
1). WHERE IS THE HIGHWAY? ( a resurfaced road)
2.) Where is the hospital?
3.) Where is the rest of what he promised.
4.) Where is the rest of the money?
This time around he is coming up with the same thing. Can we allow ourselves to be fooled again and again and again?
Can you remember WORKERSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS had a 100 days plan before the 2009 general election? Sklerrit stole it and promiosed TO TAKE DOMINICANS TO THE MOON in his own 100 days plan. Can you now understand why i call these men/women a gang of DUNCE CATS who cannot think?
He forgot the 100 days plan as soon as he won the 2009 election. Can we be foooled again.? The difference then (2009) and now (2014) is that under the ABLE AND HIGHLY COMPETENT leadership of Linton and this highly competent, respectable, brilliant, thinking and loving team, SKERRITS BACK IS BEING lacerated against the wall. He is seeing no way out, so DESPERATION HAS TO CREEP IN SOON as pressure is made to bear upon him.
I AM WORKING 24 hours a day 7days a week TALKING AND CONVINCING those that i can to see to it that wicked, brutal and dangerous rule over our country comes to an end.
HOW LONG?
NOT LONG!
Wonder if Hartley Henry is not in China.
Long live China!
Dem fellas, UWP touring again? They must be rich.
but wait Lennox Linton alone that have a copy of the 2000 manifesto ? thought that was never printed ,its the first time i seeing de copy in his hands hahahahahah
KEEP ON THINKING STILL, and do not go to school…..You sound like someone who needs schooling.
I SUPPORT UWP NOT LENNOX. This is why i think lennox should be kick out as OUR PARTY LEADER. Big mistake made by Mr James to have this angry looking guy as the leader of our party. He does not know the history of past government how can he lead our party to victory next election and lead our country’s future? i will never be labor but as far back as can remember AN INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT IDEA FOR DOMINICA WAS E.O .LEBLANC’S… lENNOX IS A DICTATOR. you will not get my vote
@Concern Why are you so vex? Team Dominica will see to it that you are happy. Remember the team will be led by Linton.
He is the best that the country possesses at this juncture.
Skerrit…..the tears of teachers are upon you,……….the longest rope has abend and the longest road has its end………CHANGE MUST COME
Having an internation airport is a big change. And if the Government is getting it done then change is a must. A change for a better Dominica. Lets all hope and pray that the PM and his crew are able to convince developers to finance that project. I love change, but it has to be for the good.
i do not know what dominicans want but i highly suspect is just a minority because 90% of persons i speak to both foriegn national and domestic nationals will admit that they have never witnessed such unprecedented development in dominica. many will admit that there is alot to be done but if one compares the value of the projects that the rime minister was able to achieve in the limited time he has been there he has definitely sought to established Dominica on a path to growth paralleled only by trinidad. I firmly believe that these anti- government rants we read constantly on DNO are from a select few who blog under different names because on the ground the story is quite different just look at the LYO rally and the May day rally and the youth rally in grand fond before that. These workers operatives for the benefits that goverment positions brings want desparately to stop the geothermal project, the Roseau improvement project, the public works hotal, the new hospital, the new schools, court buildings and most significantly the international airport. if my memory serves me right the Prime minister never said he did not want or would not build an international airport he always said that he wants it at least 80-90% grant. so that the population is not burdened. Some desparately cling and believe linton is the answer but if the man could not save his own self i for one do not see him as being capable of saving me. And it for these reasons i RISE! I RISE because as a highly educated person i know with the sucessful exploration and establishment of domestic and exportable geothermal energy we will see industries thrive in dominica all sectors will benefit and the opposition speaks of 5000 jobs i forsee 15000 jobs because with cheaper energy we will definitely experience the expansion of the call centers industry with a potential of employing 8000 persons, light and medium manufacturing engaging another 5000 and service industries catering to the expanding work force creating 1000’s of jobs and agriculture etc so is these things LINTON WANTS TO HALT BECAUSE THE MAN DOES NOT WANT OTHERS TO BECOME ALL THAT THEY CAN BE
Hmmmmm Fed Up you cant be the same Fed UP cause I sure for one remember you having different views but hey I understand where you coming cause that’s what we been saying all along but its the people that put governments in place so no matter the people will speak what ever they choose I will back it so be it Linton and UWP I will give them full support and if its the currant administration they already have my vote that’s I will let them make their own choice they did it before and they will do it again, and for the people who thinks Dominicans are dumb they have another thing coming.
@ fed up You will see more than your eyes can see. GREEDIES like you that are taking all must see development, and must fight your life out to maintain the status quo. GREEDIES like you bother less about the poor and indigent, WHO CANNOT EAT, PAY THEIR BILLS OR SEND THEIR CHILDREN TO SCHOOL. Your conecrn is about your pockets.
Your WICKED SOUL!
Take it or leave it CHANGE IS COMING!
@ labour power come better than that you r a workers operative so donot tarnish the blessed and good name of labour power! And it is for this reason i know u are not a labour power because we discuss issues development and how to get this country onto the path of prosperity for all. But your side insist on denigrating and bringing people down MY BIG QUESTION TO YOU IS HOW DO YOU EXPECT ME TO VOTE THE UWP IN WHEN THIS IS YOUR ATTITUDE. YOU HAVE NO CLUE WHO I AM BUT YOU LABELLING ME AS A GREEDIES! its time you workers supporters get serious try to convince us to vote you on the merit of what you can achieve like the labour party not by intimidation and insults. IT just won’t work and even have the audacity to use labour power in a form of reverse psychology. Maybe you didnot read the post I am very highly educated!!!!
What about your rope, bend and end? Do you think you are God? It depends what you pray for. Surely you should know that God does not answer wicked prayers. Clean your heart of discord and hatred. Only then will He answer your prayers, if He so wishes and if it is good for you and the nation.
There is work to be done, Skerit is taking Dominica into the 21 st century. If someone ask is Dominica better off now, than 10 years ago I would say hell yes
Dominicans acting like Skerit can create majic, give the man a break. The foundation he is building is soiled.
No the foundation is not solid, its infested with termites, penez, zandoli, centipede, cockroaches and lots and lots of cracks. In other words its corrupt. :
Sir /Madam, 10 years ago takes us to 2004, which means the DLP was in power and had been for 4.5 years which is the length of time UWP stayed in power. Yet I cannot see which honest Dominican would tell me that Dominica is better now than in 2004, when Skerrit became PM unless they have personally benefited under Skerrit and became millionaires like Skerrit himself.
Some people are walking blind.
@Liberal observer Of course he is taking GREEDIES like you who is obviously benefiting at the expense of the poor to the 21st century. Have you asked what about the poor who is in the majority, and the havoc his rule is having over them? VOWAS!
..it is indeed soiled!
My fellow Dominican please learn to spell!!!
Learn to spell…
Let me inform you. I have commented about this on more than one occasion. That wrong spelling may not have been the fault of the writer. I have noticed that whenever I am writing on DNO, there are some words that change when I did not make a mistake. I know what I write and how I write. If per chance I made a typographical error, I correct it. I have had to re-read my writing over and over again to ensure there are no errors, that errors which I did not type do not remain in my writing. It is frustrating.
This occurs only when I write on DNO. DNO’s Server may have a problem or that someone is changing my words so as to show I made a mistake. It is something you may not have noticed in your writing.
I am hoping it is not internal at DNO. As I have said, everything is temporary and nothing happens before its time. This is all I have to state for now anyway. Therefore, simply correct those errors and do not insult the person. It may not be the writer’s fault. Keep this in mind.
you better believe the foundation he is building is “soiled”.
Well, if Skerrit is taking Dominica into the 21 st. century he is late because that century is already 14 yrs. old, same age as his party
A lot of you, in commenting put your feet in your mouth. You never know that your very words will condemn you and punish you. Be careful what you state and be careful of the words that you throw.
. . . And you know the saying, “Do not give up the old for the new.” You know what you have but you do not know what you will get. Food for thought.
We dont care if DLP steals ideas we just want too see promises get done, Mr . Skerit U W P done a good project Pointe Mitchell road to Loubriere , I can remember motorist used too wished by the sea water and frequently landslide, this is gone so thats a good project from the U W P, they deserve credit.
@ DAHMAN Skerrit UWP build the now Pierre Charles Secondary School, the institution i attended, The Fab Road and the Delice Petite Savanne Road in lesss than 5 years.
YOU NEED TO GO.
I pity the man! His so called once upon a time popularity is now minimized by his in a ability to mature as a person and a politician. Personal attacks are a sign of diminished confidence leveling oneself. The fact that he responds to stealing ideas says that there is some truth to the allegation. Of course, anyone who has been following Dominica’s politics will agree that as of late the DLP administration has been making attempts to implement sow the UWP’s ideas such as the international airport, Roseau improvement drives etc. Of course, the government has the purse so they are capitalizing on these ideas. Come on Skerrit your credibility is lacking among the populace.
Could not have said it better!!!!!
Don’t let politics blind you. We all hope for deveopment when we elect a Government. I am happy to hear that the Govt. stole ideas. That means that they are listening and working. Thats what we vote them for, to work. Every political party has promised us an international airport. Freedom party did and it was we the UWP that asked the Regan administration to stay away from it. So let us all be honest here.
Well, I reside in Toronto. Soon, in early June there will be an Ontario – Provincial election. You should hear the promises of the parties and their criticizing and back-stabbing each other.
They are knocking on doors; some of them have canvassers who go about knocking on the doors of constituents. They want our votes and are desperate for them. This is nothing new. The talk is, they make promises and did not fulfill them or all of them but they cannot fulfill everything. It requires money to do so. This takes time.
They are telephoning the homes of Ontarians to ask if they will support their candidate/Party. They also call to conduct a phone survey. If these had my email address they would send me an email to that effect.
Therefore, those who criticize the PM, broadminded people who are aware of what occurs prior to an election, are not surprised. We are not critical for this occurs in every country.
I do find that some D/cans who criticize the PM think they are smart and doing what is correct. However, in my estimation, they lack intelligence, understanding and broad-mindedness.
The fact that anything he has done or has been instrumental in doing is being criticized by them as if he did nothing, is a good indication of their mentality which is also unfair.
garcon who knew you before you came into government?
workers kah feh kashoy too pah too – labah kah twavi
change is a must – labour is the change
labour come up with your own ideas
Emmh shocking? what is really shocking to me is the fact that you and your main national advisor Tony Astaphan among others have said on the record that Dominica does not need an international airport and that we can’t afford one and that the UWP claim to building an international airport is just imagery thinking and political gimmetry; yet still almost overnight u are in China trying to negotiate for an international airport! ; now that is really shockng! but i like it ; I really like it!
What is most shocking also is after fooling Dominicans with your first 300 million dollar project which included the building of modern Comprehensive Dominica Grammer School in Roseau which by the way you said would be a model for the rest of the ORCS that the landscaping of the said school can not be completed muchless for the the entire project to be compelted , it may be shocking to you that was said more than 6 years ago.. What is also shocking is the fact that under the same initial 4 pillar project you said that the PMH would be transformed into a modern hospital however up to this date the PMH has not seen a cent of that initial 300 million dollar 4 pillar project. instead we are hearing it being included in another 300 millon dollar project emmh SHOCKING ISN’T IT? ; but honestly having heard of the new financing for the PMH I will not be at all shocked to hear from you on your return from China that coMpletion of the Grammer school will now BE included in another 300 million dollar project! Finally what to my my mind is most shocking is the fact that you continue to compare the 14 years that you are in office with the four and a half yearsTHAT the UWP stayed in office. Well lets do the comparison least you forget. In four and a half years the UWP was in office they were able to do the following projects – build the Castle Bruce and Gramdbay Secondary Schools – construct the Petite Savanne to Delices Road; and the Jimmit to Warner Ponde Case Road ; they were able to do the Poiinte Michelle sea Wall ; was able to introduce free text books and universal secondary education; was able to develop plans for the agricultural sector ; was able to plan and start the construct of a multi – faceted sports stadium for Dominica and was able to purchase and acquire lands for the construction of an international airport! ARE you SHOCKED BY THAT? OK if not lets agree if the UWP was able to do so much in four and a half years can you imagine what they could have achieved in fourteen and a half years ? in other words the lengyh of time you have been in power! I know it may be shocking to your imagination! because going by the precedence set by the UWP I am convinced that on reflection you are skocked by the fact that you could have done much better and coming to the realization now that you have failed miserable .
There is a phrase that always plays on Kairi FM that I like to hear, about a Teacher says if you tells lies you would go straight to……….
How can the UWP say with a straight face that any idea of an international airport could possibly be theirs?
Thoughts and plans for an International Airport have been debated long before the UWP was even conceived far less born. Next they will tell us, they were the ones responsible for us even having Melville Hall Airport, that is how delusion I believe they are.
The UWP believe Dominicans can ever forget their writing to the Americans when they were gong to help us with building an International Airport and telling them to stay away? Bondieu sa ca fete those UWP? Alas they are grasping straws.
The very, very sad part is that, some UWP supporters actually believe them. That any idea for an International Airport for Dominica is theirs.
As a matter of fact, if they had worth their salt; one of the first thing they should have done after getting into office was to make sure we had an International Airport, seeing that they prevented us from having one – but no, not them, they did not do that.
And now this Prime Minister and this Labour Party Government have upgraded the Melville Hall Airport, to that beautiful and comfortable airport that looks very much like an international airport where we now have night landing and where I personally have landed at night a few times and who are now pursuing the possibility of an International Airport, I am hearing that the UWP is saying that it is their idea?
Well Papa Bondie , what else can they say to make them self relevant? I feel for them; really, I do; but certainly not enough to ever vote for them. Our country would fini bat if they are ever again allowed to form the government. They are not ready yet.
“Thoughts and plans for an International Airport have been debated long before the UWP was even conceived far less born. Next they will tell us, they were the ones responsible for us even having Melville Hall Airport, that is how delusion I believe they are.”
You speak like a fool, ever Dominican over the age of fifty knows that the colonial government built Melville Airport, not the way it is developed into a pink and green Elephant if that is where to going with that, because it was not the Labor Party idea to build it in the first place, give credit to the British Government for that.
Now; I can tell you straight up you are a liar; never in the history of our country has any other political party in Dominica ever thought of an International Airport. If anything, the Labor party which one can consider traditional to Dominica, has always been against the International International Airport, whenever anyone with a little bit of intelligence would mention that sort of project: Here is the response they would get from the hierarchy of the Labor Party.
In the beginning they would say “we doh want it” When the question was ask on many occasions, why we doh want it their answer would be “because Antigua, and Barbados have one already;” You remember all the years then maintain that same position? In more recent years, they boil it to; “it is too expensive to build and maintain! You people need to accept the facts of the matter as they are.
The final straw which broke the Camille’s is when Gonzalez went work on the psyche of the Labor Party and made fools out of them they ensured they shut it down when the UWP was building it.
If you have proof to substantiate your lying argument, submit it on DNO, embarrass me with time and date when the idea was first conceived in the camp of the Labor Party, and I will detail to you when our boy Athie Martin decided the UWP should not build an International Airport, because Edison James did not discuse it them.
And that with them; I do not know who they are! For the information of you with no name, be informed that in the days of the Windward island Broad Casting Service of which the Radio Station was built in Grenada. Dominica was the first place selected to build it.
You know how it manage to go to Grenada?
I will tell you: Say Francisco Telemaque told you Grenada became second choice because the powers that be in Dominica at the time was the Labor Party, who said again “we doh want it because Dominica cannot afford to operate a Radio Station,” and anticipated we would be ready for a Radio Station in the year 2025.
Can you imagine that?
Again, you perhaps read where I mentioned ZAL Television in regards to Brian Mead, who once work there. When ZAL chose the Eastern Caribbean to set up, Dominica was their first choice, Leblanc government was in power, in a meeting when our illustrious Dominica politicians refused ZAL; they said we were not ready for Television; old man Bird, the father Lester, and the rest of his sons who followed and became Prime Minister was Primer of Antigua, he stood up in the meeting and said “if Dominica don’t want it Antigua will take it.’
Hence, the people went to Antigua, the Station is still in operation to this very day, except it is no linger called ZAL since the Antigua government took it over it became part of the Antigua & Barbuda Brodcasting Corp. You know while you people like to lie all you are doing in the process is helping to keep Dominica down with your lying politics.
I have nothing to loose or gain from Dominica, and I am sure not going to read such rubbish, and lies that people like you write on DNO and not refute it. If you have evidence to the contrary, present them, otherwise you need to stop telling your lies, okay! the Labor Party has long been an obstacle in the way of development of our country. Where it pertains to tourism, in 1962, when we had a chance to develop the industry, the Labor Party, also said we want tourism, but are not interested in American tourist, when I ask certain Dominica, well if we are not interested in American tourist where we hope to get them from.
The man all we want is Canadian, and British, my response to him was, Americans travel more than Canadians, and the British as tourist, so you need to take a damn hike with your lies!
And all those who feel like killing me for saying so, all I have to say to them is: Oh well! I’ve been living for a long time and I am not afraid of death.
I will continue to speak the truth whenever I find it necessary to counter the garbage such as you have written.
Francisco Etienne-Dods Telemaque
Francisco you are loosing it now. Recently on DNO were about three plans for an international airport. One of these plans were that of the DFP. UWP came in power after the DFP. Take it as you like it but this has been here before the UWP.
Stealing Ideas?…Is their a copyright infringement when a man is seeking to Develop his country? Who speaks like that? If that is the case, Shouldn’t they be happy that what they proposed is being done? PM the vast majority of the people LOVE you! No amount of HATE can beat LOVE since the smallest light will dispel the greatest Darkness; how much more then when that Light is Dazzling. Continue exalting the Almighty GOD with those blessed words, GOD IS GOOD ALL THE TIME AND ALL THE TIME GOD IS GOOD! Nothing can WIN LOVE!
If you guys are so dissatified with the process. Why don’t you people insist on a change to your country constitution? For instance, giving every elected Prime Misister (2) terms or 10 years, to do his bit, in office, and get out. This process would surely stamp out, all this hate, which is like a cancer going around the country. Let’s vote for people who wants to change our constitution, and not for the ones who wants the status quote to remain the same! DNO, do me a favor and run your poll. Let’s start the process for change. NOW, ALL ON BOARD?
Yes the DLP has stolen the UWP ideas. Check the 2000 manifesto.
Take them to court. Stealing is against the law.
wonderful…give it to them my PM ,they had no manifesto in 2009 now they wanna blajay
Ah not true, be fair to the UWP. They had one, they said, but online, and since no one could find it online; maybe it was on the clothes line.
Give it to them! The man is not the Ambassador.
Sexy! Give it to them?
No one knew you Skerrit!
Sinking Skerrit Jumps on UWP Boat for Rescue.
Most voters will agree, that when after three consecutive terms, and fifteen years in Government a Political Party has to take the Opposition Party Manifesto of 15 years ago, literally from front cover to back cover, as its only way forward to seek re-election, that Party has nothing more to offer, and its time for it to go. Furthermore, like it or not, it is a natural instinct, done by reflex action for someone on a sinking ship to jump unto the safe ship next to it. Also, it is well known, that when a big.. fall into the deep blue sea, it will make a big, big splash. Well that is what we saw in St Jo, on May 5th. Mr. Skerrit jumping from his sinking labour ship ,diving into UWP Manifesto 2000 for rescue, whilst the DLP vessel coming out empty of any plans of its own, but with a big, big, splash, like all empty vessels, makes the most noise.
Skerrit Jumps on UWP Manifesto 2000-Front Cover – International Airport
If you look on the front cover of the UWP 2000 Manifesto, you will see the picture of the international Airport started by UWP in 1997. When the DLP came into Government in 2000, DLP stopped construction of the International Airport, abandoned it for 15 years, saying Dominica does not need an international airport. In their 2005 campaign, the DLP even brought down Prime Minister Ralph Gonzales of St Vincent to tell us that Dominica does not need an international airport, all Dominica needs is night landing. This same international airport started by the UWP, and stopped by the DLP, is what Mr. Skerrit is now proposing as the main reason why we should give him a fourth chance. Oh no. Fifteen years and three chances were more than enough time for Mr. Skerrit to complete the UWP International airport, and even build another one..
Skerrit Finally Lands up on UWP Manifesto 2000 Back Cover –Indoor Gymnasium
If you looks at the back page of that same UWP 2000 Manifesto, you see the picture of The international Stadium, which the UWP began constructing in 1999, with the main stadium for football, cricket and athletics, the Multipurpose indoor gymnasium for volleyball, basketball and other indoor sports, and a Sports lodge to house 100 players. Also shown to the east, is the football practice field. When the DLP came into Government, they broke down the International Stadium, destroyed the Indoor Sports facility, destroyed the Sports Lodge, destroyed the Football practice field, on which government had already spent over $12 million dollars, and replaced it with what we have today. No indoor Sports facility, no football practice field and no Sports lodge. At St Joseph, Mr Skerrit in admitting that he has finally come around to the UWP Manifesto 2000 indoor sports facility proposal, does not even apologize for his 15 years of neglect, but goes on to make this look like the idea has suddenly emerged. Hear Mr. Skerrit: “There is another project that I want to talk about this evening,” he said. “This one ladies and gentlemen is hot, I can’t keep it till budget in June…This evening, I say to all sporting associations in Dominica, and all sporting enthusiasts within the hearing of my voice, you need to speak no more. The government is sold on the idea..” Mr. Skerrit must be held accountable, and made to pay the price for the serious damage done to the sporting careers of Dominica’s youth and in many cases the lives that have gone a stray due to his abandonment of this sporting facility for fifteen years. When you look at the picture of Mr. Skerrit, you will see he has gotten fat. Its time for Mr. Skerrit to go.
Roseau Restoration Works began under Workers- Stopped by DLP
The Third Major Project which Mr. Skerrit is banking on for his re-election, is the Roseau Restoration Project. Whilst planning for the Roseau Restoration Project began under the Freedom Party, actual works began under the UWP, with the Roseau Sewage Project. The Roseau Restoration Project which Mr Skerrit met already in 2000 was designed to go continuously from phase one to completion. The Water and Sewage Project being phase one, and the other phases being the underground laying of cables and the covering of all drains, the restoration of sidewalks with bricks, like in front of the PrevoCinemall, the development of the Roseau-Botanic Gardens ring road, and the paving of all the streets of Roseau. The other aspect of the Roseau Restoration Project, was the Preservation of Old Roseau, referred to as the French Quarter. The money for this Project was to come from the Kuwaiti Fund and the European Union, and the bulk of the money had already been negotiated.
The DLP government mismanaged the sewage project, running it into costs overruns of several millions, and time over run of more than two years. The DLP Government then abandoned the Roseau Restoration Project, except for the Ring Road, and used the Kuwaiti Fund money for all kinds of other things.
In the case of the Restoration of the French Quarters, the DLP made this into a DLP political, football, and squandered the EU money without achieving the Restoration of Roseau.
Well that is what we saw in St Jo, on May 5th. Mr. Skerrit jumping from his sinking labour ship, diving into UWP Manifesto 2000 for rescue, whilst the DLP vessel come out empty with a big, big, splash, like all empty vessels, making a lot of noise, making no apology for the fact that the only reason why Dominica is still so backward, with no jobs for the youth, and local businesses closing down, making cost of living so high, and life so hard, is because the DLP failed to complete the three most important projects which they met started, when they came into office in 2000. The international Airport, The International indoor Sports facility and the Roseau Restoration Project. Had the Roseau Restoration Project been continued from 2000 to now, Roseau would now be one of the most pleasant, most attractive and most desirable cities for visitors and residents alike.
Carnival Cruise line which pulled out of Roseau after 21 years of calling every week, and which pulled out in 2010, because of the poor experience in Roseau, would still be calling in our Port of Roseau weekly, and putting money in every body pocket.
Its time to jump off the sinking Labor ship and get unto the rising UWP Team Dominica boat. Also, it is not only doctors and nurses who can tell when a person is on their last breadth. Family and caretakers usually can tell when a loved one is on his or her dying bed. That’s why they usually send for the priest of pastor to administer the last rites.
Laborites inside know that Skerrit finish. Its time for Labour to take a rest, and for Skerrit to pack up and go.
Change is a must. That Change is The UWP Team Dominica.
UWP Please revisit the purpose of an opposition party…
Stop trying to confuse people and make grand issues out of nothing. If Skerrit stole your ideas use it to your advantage in a positive way. This here is just childish. A press conference addressing that? Come on now……
@Intellect Why are you confused when the English is so simple. Is it that you cannot understand English? I do not feel confused.
By the way tell Skerrit to call the election fast!
You sound so impressive when u came in power your fist few years it left me no choice to vote for u for tha past 2 elections , but right now every word that comes out of your mouth continues to seeken me,,
My question is why now? You guys had 14 years to achieve so much now election is around the corner we continue to here the same empty promises,,, they sound real good but it should be done within that 14 years of office,
You left me with no choice but To VOTE U OUT…I vote on issues and not personality,,,, my family and I will be coming down to do just that ,,,,5+5= 10 votes less for u,,,
I doubt you ever voted in your life.
Is this a troubled man or not? Where on earth would any majority takes this man seriously?
People, we are above everything this man says, promises and does. The time for action is now before it’s too late.
Register, register and vote everyone on the DLP ticket out of office. If not, history will not be kind to you for allowing your country to go to the wolves. Take my words!
Thank You!
Tan zors.. A la.. whether u like it or not there is absolutely NO Way Uwpwi will win elections..U can say what u want but skero…u all will continue to suffer from LACK Of POWER syndrome..losersss
There is nothing for Skeritt to be shocked or ashamed of, stolen or not whatever he does is for Dominica. He should have said he will improve on the UWP’s projects. For instance, Mr. Linton has always said he will improve on the many projects and policies of the DLP Government. Maybe I should remind him of some of the things he has voleur. He has moved from the next level theme to ” the change is Labour.” The UWP theme is, ” change is a must.” We also remember the UWP theme, Nou ca fay twavay tou par tou,” now the DLP theme is,”Labor ca twavay.” We heard that Dominica doesn’t need an International Airport, instead night landing is a better option, approximately $300 million were spent to upgrade Melville Hall, no sooner Mr. Linton gave the building of an International Airport priority, Skeritt took off like a zoutoela to China to discuss the same International Airport Dominica does not need. Remember, the job forum which was conducted by the UWP, two weeks later, the DLP came up with what some Dominicans termed, “rent a job program.” I almost forgot the multi-purpose stadium which was proposed by the UWP, the DLP intends to follow that too. I have no problem with the DLP Government following the UWP like a bad scent, but don’t criticize every move the UWP makes, when in fact, they know they are bankrupt of ideas.
hahahahaha
You said 300 million was used to upgrade the Melville Hall Airport….. You people just say what you want. lolol….
@Doc Love. You are so so so correct. I often refer to this Labour Party as the brainless gang, or better still, the team of DUNCE CATS. Thy obviously cannot think on their own and should be dumped.!
the money in the treasury is dominica’s money. available to any governing party. ask mr. skerrit
But wait nuh, did Roosevelt just say the UWP could not change not even a toilet at Melville Hall and has no contacts to do business?
Could somebody please explain to me how then did the UWP build the Castle Bruce Secondary School, the Grandbay(Pierre Charles) Secondary School, the public library near PSS, the Michael Douglas Boulevard, commence works on the international airport and stadium….(just naming a few of the MANY progressive things the UWP did while in government)………in the space of 4 and a half years (not 14 years eh)?
UWP, 2000- “Workers twavay tou pa tou”, DLP 2014 – “Labar ka twavay”
UWP 2013 – “Change Is A Must” – DLP 2014- “Labour is real change”
UWP 2000 Manifesto; International Airport, Windsor Park Multi-Purpose Stadium. Cricket, Football, Athletics. Indoor sporting facility for basketball, netball, volleyball, tennis and others. Gym, Hostel, Practice field at the old DGS grounds. In 1999, the Roseau road reinstatement project was approved under the Kuwait Funds.
DLP, St Joseph May 5th 2014, International Airport, Indoor Sporting facility in Roseau, Roseau Upgrade project..
These are the facts. Tell Skerrit to Come again.
UWP has just confirmed that DLP is working.
Extremely shocking the only shock u will get is when Lennox is pm and heads start to roll
Diplomatic and inter governmental relationship should continue even if Pappy come into power until ties a severed for one reason or another. These relation are technically with the people. If China stops dealing with uwp if they win a democratic election it means they do not accept the people’s decision and this is a passive form of interferance. Again the PM is insulting our intelligence. Mr. PM we are not in the 1980s, and pleas permit me to say you are full of Sh…….
UWP came into office in 1995 – 2000 so some body tell me who was in office from 2000 – 2009 ? Please because Skeritt keeping saying when they (labor ) came into office in 2009 took office in 2009, the country was facing serious challenges , Was it not facing the same challenges when UWP took office in 1995 ? But see all what was accomplished by the UWP within the 4 and a half years in office. there were no moneys in the treasury , when UWP came into office so are you going to talk about debt ? Bring it and when you are bringing it please tell me who was in office for the two terms from 2000-2009 please.
the man bought gonsalv to dominica to convince labourites why we do not need a international airport all of a suden u want international airport skerrit gacon all a we are not dam fools
PM you are rite on point but don’t worry on election day they will be discarded, any one can say they will do all for the country they know some people are naïve so they listen to what people wants and say that’s what they are going to do but the same people asking them where will u get the money from to do that? they say don’t worry we have them on hold when we get in they will show their self, well me nah bye no jumbi ina bag, the same supporters they have there walk around Marigot and hold a bag tell them you have gold in the bag and you selling it for five hundred dollars not one of them would take that deal but they want us to side with them and take UWP deal well five more for labor.
5 more years for thee pm let thee man work
When Skeritt says no one knows Linton can he tell the world of any one who knew him before the death of Charles ?He speaks of the projects his is working on what about the hospital at marigot that has fallen on his watch I have not heard one word from him about that
I guess the truth hurts eh Skerro! You steal them people idea but its all good because we will all benefit from those projects. The BIG difference is there will be no kickbacks to unscrupulous politicians, there will be proper planning and consultation etc eliminating the vykyvy ways of doing businessThere you go lying again like you never knew the UWP came up wit these project ideas years ago.
The same process you follow to get funding is available to all and sundry so STOP pretending like you are the ONLY person who can get funding. Jump and scream all you want but Change Is A Must not an option.
“I AM FOR CHANGE; ARE U?”
Assertive, NOT Agressive!
Every single onebof the promises made by sjerrit in st joe was a response to uwps plans…. roseau rehabilitatiion, airport, incentives for ppl wanting to build homes, boats for produce, 80% of wrk to be done by locals. and the list goes on and on……
So skerrit needs to stop the blatant lies!!!
These are the utterances of a SCARED MAN, one who is in doubt as to whether his rule of terror over a largely impoverished and poor country will continue! Mr Skerrit it won’t continue. The majority has their mind set on KICKING YOU OUT NO MATTER WHAT YOU DO!.
The majority are FED UP WITH YOUR LIES AND DECEPTION WHICH YOU PRIDE YOURSELF IN. Up to last year 2013 YOU RICICULED THE UWP,(the brilliant and thinking team) with their talk on an international airport, but you can clearly see that the carpet is being pulled from under your two feet, so you and your highly INCOMPETENT, DUNCE, WICKED, gang are now stealing ideas from the brillinat, caring, l.oving, patriotic team.
Anything you start will be completed by TEAM DOMINICA (UWP), BECAUSE AS YOU CAN RIGHTLY SENSE YOU ARE MORE OUT THAN IN PRESENTLY. You obviously thought that you would continue to fool the majority in the same manner that you have been doing SINCE 2005.
EVERYTHING MUST FINALLY HAVE AN END.
HOW LONG?
NOT LONG!
@% you definitely sound scared, most likely you are in an advanced state of panic. But don’t worry Skerritt will take u out of your misery with a 19 to 2 spanking.. so just hang in there bro.
@tom You lie this time is 21-0… HURRY !!!!!! TELL HIM CALL THE ELECTION.
Honestly % sign what can anyone say in response to what you have just written but
That is the thinking of a male paw paw tree. So you spout flowers and all of a sudden, you hope to bear fruits. I guess you can wish. The saying, “Hope springs eternal,” always applies.
Not that Skeritt’s time won’t come. It’s just not this time around. Keep your eyes on the ground (Labour Day St. Joe Rally, example) and your ears pealed and you will know. It’s not time yet for Skeritt to go. All signs point to that simple fact.
@Ba Yo Bwa Do you that i was at St Joe together with my brother? We are not Labourites FOR SURE!
Do you know i know UWPites from my village who were in St Joe in Red and will NOT VOTE LABAR. Have you heard of the torn Red T-Shirts?
Remember the plan is to eat Skerrit (he is the Labour Party), drink him, take the money he is giving (it belongs to us), take the plywood, galvanize, and all the other goodies AND VOTE OR KICK HIM OUT?
At least he is a little smarter that you, who is obviously a slave, that’s why he did not give an election date.
Five more years!
That,s it my PM, they think you joking. Labour working.
@Lol –
Your last sentence just cements the point that Labour has gone/decided to follow the way of Workers.
Change definitely is a MUST not an option!!! Can’t you guys see that Roosevelt is telling you guys that workers is the way to go….
He is copying everything from the UWP. Roosevelt cannot even come up with an original catch phrase for his party. The best thing they could come up with is “Labour is the change”. The change from what? Must be the change from itself…
They have a next phrase saying “Labour is working.” Obviously that phrase is incomplete because it certainly should be saying “Labour is working….hard to keep Dominicans poor.”
Labour ISN’t working. Workers Work. If you love your Labour party, don’t vote Skerrit!
well said pm they don’t even know what the term ideas mean they confused.empty promises without substance. Pinocchio your nose might get to long might have to chisel it down.
@ reds. Sure you right! Your PM Skerrit clearly demonstrates he’s Pinocchio, and his nose is already too long from lying again and again.
No way fallen angel!
skerrit dem nonsense ur dlp ppl does believe the rest of doiminica will not fall for it, because we hear the ideas of the uwp and the truth will always hurt. but go ahead a fool can copy an ideas when the times comes to do the exam he fails with flying colours
u taking people for fools man.
@leader Not only that, he is insultive to the people. It’s fine to fool your Labourites, but don’t think you can fool everyone. Every other word coming from the mouth of this man is a LIE.
The correct terminology is insulting.
this guy is a joke,obviously you’re in power now and it’s easier to attract the necessary funding to implement projects….were you out of office would you be able to say the same skerrit? no one knew you when you came into power so take your egotistic attitude elsewhere
But TWT they backing Taiwan to this day they cant say Taiwan is backing them, please don’t say China cause you all don’t believe in the one China policy so where will funding come from Trinidad? at 14% what a farce.
Sorry @time will tell, but Skeritt is the PM, please don’t choke.
No need to be venomous here. You reading the man wrong. It is the nature of politics – verbal jousting – to keep your opponents off key.
You should instead seek to give credit to your party. Look what they are doing, touring the world, establishing links, building partnerships or at least, relations with would-be investors – albeit Dominicans. That’s a lot to say for your party.
Hopefully these initiatives will pay off for them, if they take power.
But I wouldn’t hold my breath if I were you.
Pride cometh before a fall and a haughty spirit before …………………
