The opposition United Workers Party is laying some of the blame for increased criminal activity against tourists at the doorstep of the Labour Party administration of Prime Minister Roosevelt Skerrit.
In a statement issued this week, UWP Leader Edison James said the party deeply regrets the rising crime situation especially as it affects tourists “and sympathize with the victims and wish those who have been injured a speedy recovery,”.
A German couple attacked at Salisbury and a French Family who had one of its daughters raped are among the recent brutal attacks that have been widely condemned.
James said in his statement that everyone must play their part in fighting crime but “we assert that the greatest responsibility rest with government to lead in this serious matter”.
He has suggested that the utterances and actions of the government are fanning the flames of criminal activity.
“The most powerful and disgraceful of these is the statement by Prime Minister Roosevelt Skerrit that no law including the constitution will prevent him from taking action as he pleases. We insist that until and unless he retracts and apologizes for this, potential criminals will be guided by his leadership in that regard,” UWP’s
James said, giving a political slant to a crime situation the Dominica Hotel and Tourism Association believes should be tackled in a bipartisan manner.
According to the UWP leader, another major contributor to criminal activities plaguing the country is the refusal of the authorities to take proper action to solve the Christmas morning crime against former magistrate GON Emmanuel and his wife over a year ago.
He also suggested that “The politically motivated removal of Mr. Tyani Behanzin from the bench is also a contributing factor to the crime situation particularly in the north and north east of the island”.
“The economy is being threatened by these unwarranted attacks on visitors and tourism investors. Many of their establishments are being put up for sale and the reputations of this destination are being undermined and it’s time for action,” he added.
James wants the Prime Minister to publicly retract his statement that no law including the constitution will prevent him from being nominated, an election-campaign related statement made ahead of the 2009 general election.
The UWP leader is also calling for a special and dedicated court to be activated to deal speedily with the crime, a plan of action developed and for the interdenominational commission on crime and violence to become involved in finding a solution to the problem.
The cheap partisan political finger pointing game of Edison James proves that he has no idea on how to solve the problem of crime. It also shows that all the UWP can do is seek political opportunity to make political mileage rather help shape policy and direction that will help move Dominica forward and promote it as a safe and peaceful country. Shame on Edison.
Anonymous, I do not believe in this a modern day agriculture is the way forward for us. Dominicans dealt with that practically all of our life; if the banana industry was going to be our savior, if the banana industry was going to make our people rich, it would have happened already.
My contention here is not to suggest that we destroy agriculture completely because from that derive some of our staples. People have to eat, therefore the food that we need for our survival need to be maintain, and grown on the island, however total dependency on agriculture as a major revenue generator should be out of the equation at this stage of our development.
A developing country need more than agriculture to move forward, Cuba, China, and all of the nations in the former Soviet Union before the demise of communism depended heavily on agriculture, what happen, we saw communism failed in the soviet block, and in China also, we saw China, deviated from an all agricultural nation to an industrialized country and has skyrocketed to the top of the industrial world.
Today just about everything you buy will read ” made in China” no longer are the Chines dependent on the shipments of rice which is an agricultural product to keep China’s economy alive.
The Russians in less than twenty years after the fall of communism began to industrialized, and also opened up to tourism, today there are more entrepreneurs millionaires in Russia than any time in that nation history, they have accomplished more in less than twenty years than all the years they spent preaching agriculture to their citizens.
Our problem in Dominica is that we are very reluctant to change, our people are a bunch of cowards and a contented to maintain the status quo, we are on a journey, if we stop in the middle, and say we have walked far enough we will never know what we could have found at the end of the journey. I we keep trying the same thing in the same way over, and over the result will forever be the same, that is our major problem in our country.
Jamaica was a major exporter of Bananas to the United Kingdom, they exported more bananas to England than Dominica, and the rest of the Windward island combined: The Jamaicans has long abandon the ” fig fields, and the stains” to something else, quite a few industries, and tourism, now tell me is Jamaica less prosperous than Dominica?
Certainly not!
Ventures are like a Pandora box, one never knows what will be inside unless they open the box, in Dominica we procrastinate and in the end our conclusion is always ” if only I’d done this or that.”
My final question to you is this are you personally prepared to become a professional farmer, and if you have young sons and daughters are you going to deprive them of a collage or university education so that they also can become professional farmers?
Edison James Ron Green, and are from an old school from another time, and they seem to have forgotten that time has change, and continues to change for the better!

Mr.James is right.
While fighting crime is the responsibility of all Dominicans, the Government has a moral obligation to lead and allow us to follow.
They have failed in this regard and the PM should recant his statement about NO LAW, NO CONSTITUTION can stop him. If he wants to be a credible leader, he must lead by example.
I beg to differ with this article, the opposition should be the last to talk about the government (prime minister) is responsible for the high crime rate in Dominica. When the opposition does not live by example, refusal to go to the house of assembly, disrespecting the speaker of the house, and magistrate.But how can we blame the government, for a high crime rate, when most people believe that the world owe them a living, and refuse to work to get it.Many countries have economic situation, so should we blame the new elected prime minister for St. Lucia for the increase in crime rate, or take Trinidad for example, who has a police commissioner from Canada, who was said to help stop crime, but there has been an increase in criminal activities. No government should be responsible for the increase in criminal activity, the responsible is on the people. The people who are consumed with greed, hatred, and desire to become as their role model which are illustrated on the TV, internet etc. So lets us stop playing the blame game, the complaining game, and criticize game, as lets work together as one to stop the increase in criminal activities in Dominica.
Well I take issue with your comment which, despite what it tried to do i.e. show the UWP in bad light just lent credence to their view. Haven’t you heard that respect has to be earned? The speaker as a self confessed vemin deserves disrespect if indeed she has been. To the extent that she has not conducted herself as a respectable woman then she is responsible for any disrespect. A boycott of parliament is a good example in my book. What would you have preferred? That they attended the house and do like was done in the past and vandalise the place?
You are right about one thing though, the people are responsible for the things they do and they should not try to be like their role models. However, the role models of the young people in Dominica are those on the government side who are consumed with greed and hatred. These ministers acquire wealth overnight, corrupt young women with their ill-gotten wealth and every time they open their mouths you hear the hatred, hence the reason for blaming them for the state of crime in the country.
i agree with you. Instead of trying and blame the government for the increase in crime why dont u guys set the example and show us all that you can put ur differences aside and work to bring this nation forward. Just because ur the ‘oppostion’ it doesnt mean that u need to act like a fool and oppose every single thing even if in ur heart u know that what ur against is actually the right thing to do. Its hi time that people of authority stop acting as children and play their part. Push the country forward and not back. Im tried of people assuming D/ca is backwards and that the people still live in huts.
Although I can’t throw all the blame towards the government, I must admit that with the actions taken by the government, the current stated of this country rests on them.
When great decisions are made smart, educated and forward thinking people have gone back hundreds of years in history to see if the people before them had the same difficulties, what they did about it and what the outcome of their actions led to.
Going back three to four years and observing the actions taken then and the trends that have followed is a sign of intelligence and not to be frowned upon. Sadly, making fun of someone who doesn’t just judge on just the present but would look at the history of actions of a person or group depicts irresponsibility and a lack of potential positive leadership ability.
Edo you would be the last one to talk. you and all look like a crimmial.you are no Example to the young people of this country.you always have some negative talk towards the government whether they do good or bad.and that is really bad on your part I’m not saying the P.M and his cabinet are perfect and neither are you but for crying out sake you act like the Labour party have not done any good for the country.you never once praise them not for one good thing and thats bad .negative,negative,negative that’s all from your mouth. work together with the P.M and you will see Dominica will become a better place because one hand can not clap.
You sound like a man/woman who is tired of himself/herself. The truth hurts,and it hurts badly, that is what has struck you smack inthe face. The fact is Honourable Edison James is dead on the point. This government does not know where to begin to fight this problem.But do they have the moral authority to fight crime? It’s the same PM who said that no law no constitution can prevent him from breaking the law. Were you in Mars when that was said? Maybe not. It could well be that you are one of the lazy sluggards who are begging, so you can’t see nothing wrong with these bunch of no goods.
WHY THE MISREPRESENTATION .QUOTE THE PM CORRECTLY AND IN CONTEXT.AND WHY THE NAME CALLING .WHY ARE YOU AND YOURS CANNOT GET OVER THE FACT THAT YOU BEATEN SOUNDLY .STOP BEING BLUE VEX.YOU WILL NEVER BEAT THE RED NATION.WE WILL ALWAYS BE RED HAPPY.NEXT TIME WE ARE GOING FOR 21 TO 0.AND YOU CAN TAKE THAT TO THE BANK
“James wants the Prime Minister to publicly retract his statement that no law including the constitution will prevent him from being nominated, an election-campaign related statement made ahead of the 2009 general election.” (Edison James).
Edison your sentiments make quite a lot of sense to a certain extent; you lost credit when you decided to politicized the matter in the quote above!
That matter was heard in court, and for what it is worth Skerrit prevailed, you should not be dwelling on that at this time, since the nation may have heard that same rhetoric over and over, prior to the last general election, yet the Labor Party won the election convincingly.
Regardless of one political affiliations, or simply partisan politics, we all should be worried and concern over the increase in violent crimes in the country, especially in the North Eastern part of the island to which you and I belong.
When you and I were kids and learn of the first murder in Marigot, when Kenneth I believe his name was killed someone, and escape the country to this day he was never found because he made his way to England, that was shocking to all of us, because murder was not part of us then.
Over the years there has been criminal activity from Marigot to Portsmouth, even when you were Prime Minister, the crime rate was high.
This was before your time as Prime Minister, but we remember Enoch Christmas was shot in Wesley, by his daughter’s estranged husband, a guy from Grand Bay, Claudia a former girlfriend, and lover of mine was found dead with her neck broken in Wesley.
We cannot forget the little girl who was murdered in Wesley, and I understand her eyes, and some of her internal organs was extracted in some sort of obeah or voodoo ceremony, I do not know, I was not there that’s what I was informed!
In recent years, there has been many heinous crimes in your village, and my village. Even a Nephew of mine was found murdered with his throat slashed: someone in the village confessed to killing my nephew, the police arrested, and released him claiming that he was incompetent, he was not telling the truth, and set him free, in less than two weeks, the confessed murderer was himself found murdered in the same fashion that my Nephew was murdered.
I supposed neither you nor I can blame government or Skerrit for the crimes that I mention here.
Your purpose right as leader, and your party, and a member of the nations parliament should be to try to work together with Skerrit in finding a solution, which will help to curtail criminal acuities on the island, no one in political power in our country would sit back, and encourage what is happing in our country just for the hell of it.
To blame Skerrit, and what he may have said regarding no law and the constitution, has nothing to do with crimes the culprits are committing on the island, to condone would be like someone building, a house, and each time the house is almost complete some goes and set it on fire.
You were blamed for many things in Dominica when you were Prime Minister, shall I ask you if the allegations, and blame lived at you were true?
You answer will be no, and by now at least about a quarter of the population of Dominica has come to realize that. This old message that you are dwelling on is not going to help you in the long run, this talk about subsidy for farmers, is not going to help you in the long run, because the youth of the country has no interest in the banana plantation anymore, unless you are very far out of touch, in your village, and in Wesley, if you ask questions you will find out that the old farms are all dead, and the youth who alive are no longer interested in ” fig stain anymore.
You need to develop another message, something that suites the twenty-first century.
Be reminded that we are still in the industrialized and high technology days!

You long piece of garbage does not cut it.You are simply an idiot who seem to be lost someone abroad,and who harbour a hatred for Honourable James.For those of us who love Dominioca James is on target..WELL SAID MR JAMES.!
You stupid no name idiot fool, you had better learn to read and understand what people are talking about, be reminded that an computer does not make people smart, if you are an idiot every word which comes out of you mouth will be nonsense,as you wrote here.
Define hate, not to me but to yourself, and discover how ignorant and stupid you, what hate you read into what I commented on.
We still have kindergarten in Dominica, that is where you belong!
Fools, and jackasses like you are the ones cause party’s to loose elections. Maybe Edison is pandering to idiots like you, because of you stupidity, a peasants your and so shall you remain, if your only ambition is the fig stains, then James rhetoric suits you because that’s all you know. The intelligent people like me have to point out to James where he is behind the times.
I am certain he will appreciate my comments better than the hogwash crap that you wrote.
Beside I am sure that Edison James knows my name, because he is also ” Telemaque ” and he knows that, so who the hells are you?
If my relative cannot speak the truth to me, then I would not want to here their lie!
Food for thought, you idiot!
By the way the definition of harbor which is a verb is also harbored; or harboring means to give shelter, or refuge to something or someone. To hold especially persistently in the mind, or to cherish a grudge
And for your development only, I will make it simply by saying ships take shelter in or as if in a harbor from a storm. Tell me how do you associate any of the definitions I gave with ” hate”?
An uneducated fool you are and so shall you remain.

THIS IS WHAT THE UWP AND Q95 HAS DONE IF YOU DIFFER IN OPINION WITH UWP AND THE MOUTH OF THE OPPOSITION YOU ARE STUPID .THEY THINK THAT ANY ONE WHO DOES NOT SOPPORT THEIR VIEW IS STUPID AND IGNORANT.WELL MASSA DAY DONE.WELL SINCE MOST OF US SUPORT LABOUR PARTY ,PLEASE LEAVE US IN OUR IGNORANCE .18 TO 3 WILL TURN INTO 21 TO 0 .WIN LOSE OR DRAW
Francisco, I believe the answer to the development of dominica in the short-term still lies in agriculture.maybe banana is not the answer, however, agriculture in my opinion is the way foward. maybe strawberry, pork and other product that can be reproduce in a short time. I am also from wesley and its shamefull to see all the babana farms are now forest. we need to revive those farms into other crops. also we need to take on agriculture it need to be on a a business not small farms but large farms. Farmers comming together and planting on large scale to export. the bottomline is dominica is not exporting enought.
GOOD JOB FRANCISCO.YOU ARE A MAN OF COURAGE .I DO NOT KNOW HOW OLD YOU ARE .HOW MUCH YOU KNOW ABOUT HOW WE GOT WHERE WE ARE .IT ALL BEGAN WITH THE ADVENT OF THE FREEDOM PARTY WHO CONTROLLED THE LOCAL MEDIA AT THAT TIME .THEV STAR ,THE CHRINICLE AND THE HERALD.THE DUPP WHICH BECANME THE FREEDOM PARTY COULD NOT STAND THE DEFEAT OF 10 TO 1 .AT THAT TIME SPARROW HAD A SONG 10 TO 1 IS MURDER.THE NEW NAMED DUPP NOW FREEDOM PARTY BEGAN THE SAME PROCESS THAT YOU SEE UWP AND THEIR SUPPORTERS BEGAN A YEAR AGO WHEN THEY LOST 18 TO 3 .PROPERGANDA ,LIES ETC .THEY DROVE LEBLANC OUT OF OFFICE BECAUSE HE DID NOT WANT TO RISK THE SAFETY OF HIS FAMILY.JOHN DID NOT DO ANY BETTER .BEING A WINSOR PARK BOY HE COULD STAND THE PREASURE .WELL WHEN HE BECAME PRIME MINISTER ON INDEPENDENCE ALL HELL BROKE LOOSE.LABOUR PARTY SUPPORTERS WAS STONED ,LOOTED AND MURDERED OUT OF OFFICE.FROM THAT TIME CRIME WENT FROM BAD TO WORST.
BEFORE THEN ALL THOSE BAD THING THAT ARE OCCURING NOW DID NOT TAKE PLACE
NOW THE UWP AND THEIR MOUTHPIECE WANT HISTORY TO REPEAT ITSELF.LET THEM KNOW IT WILL NOT HAPPEN AGAIN AND THEY WILL NEVER GET BACK IN POWER.SINCE THEY ARE LIKE THE FREEDOM PARTY THEY WILL BE TREATED AS SUCH O O O .AND LOST OF DEPOSITS INSTEAD OF THE WEE WEE WHINEY PARTY THAT THEY ARE THE WILL NOW BE CALLED THE ZERO PARTY
Florida you right, fight hard for your salary if uwp come in power you will get your hand out. if they in the back yard you have nothing
“accessible”
From the middle of the US, “Violent crime against tourists in Dominica” has reached my ears in less than a year. My family visited a few years ago, and we fell in love with Dominica, and it’s people. Sad to report that we will NOT return. True, we deal with plenty of our own issues related to violent crime here in the States. In the case of public safety, the difference is, that I can rely on a uniformed police force, one that is readily available, accesable and capable of dispatching via a reliable “First responder system” (I.e. 911). A Justice system equipped and forensically capable and motovated to pursue, process and prosecute criminals, these capabilities also serve as a powerful deterrent to would be thieves, rapists, muggers and murderers. Dominica, in my opinion, can offer none of these basic services to it’s People, local or otherwise.
SO YOU ARE PERFECT CRIME FIGHTERS SO WHY ARE THERE SO MANY INNOCENT BLACK PEOPLE IN JAIL.WHY ARE THERE SO MANY SEX REGISTERED SEX OFENDERS.WHY DOES THE CPA HAVE SO MANY CASES OF CHILE ABUSE.WHY ARE THERE SO MANY UNSOLVED CRIMES IN YOUR COUNTRY.THE THING THAT ARE HAPPENING NOW IS THE RESULT OF OUR YOUNG PEOPLE IMITATING YOU AND YOURS.THEY ARE BEING MOTIVATED BY THE UWP AND Q95 TO MISBEHAVE SO THAT THE GOVERNMENT CAN BE BLAMED
DO YOU LISTEN TO THE OPOSITION PROPERGANDA .PREACHING HATRED, VIOLENCE AND UNFAIR CRITICISON EVERY DAY .THEY ARE TRYING TO GIVE DOMINICA A BAD NAME AND THE ARE SUCCEEDING
Its time that the Christians of this lovely country come together and take back our country for the Lord let us release the spirit of God in the atmosphere………………. the bible said life and death is in the power of the tongue let us stop speaking evil about our country and lets starting speaking good let us laugh in the devil face every time he try to use people to create problem lets telling God is still in control
Mr.James let me just tell you know… Crime cannot be politicalize..
You are starting to play with fire when you do so.
The criminals do not segregate in the commission of a crime. That mean to say he/she will not say this UWP or DLP so I will give him a chance.
Your statement therefore that government are to be blame for crimes is reckless and dangerous.
Crime is business of all citizens… The police can only be successful if the people report the matter and what they have seen.
So Mr.James if you are trying to score cheap political points good luck. But please be aware you may win an election and be confronted with the same problems.
As a matter of fact it has been reported by the UN crime is up in the caribbean due to many different facts.
That does not mean so say it is ok for what is going on,further more one crime is to many for any Island.
You/we need to address the crime problem from a social,economic and scientific way to address the ill.
No one political party or police force can solve the problem. IT MUST BE TEAM WORK !!!!!!
In total agreement with the statement “The politically motivated removal of Mr. Tyani Behanzin from the bench is also a contributing factor to the crime situation particularly in the north and north east of the island”.
Mr. Angelo Allene is on his talk show every morning, like wise Mr. Peltier. The formidable Mr. Linton and the rest. They all have the highest regards for law and order and justice. So to do the likes of Mr. James, Mr. Hector and the rest. I recall a conversation between two ladies, one is UWP, the other is neutral. The neutral lives in another country and is oblivious to what is going on in da. The UWP supporter was informing the neutral as to the state of siege in the da. Being from this country and having family alive and assumed well she called in haste, only to find it was not as she was told. She actually came to visit and was ashamed of her friend for giving her false testimony. There was another out come, her tone actually in sighted an act off violence against a LP supporter that same day. I was there, just a word was spoken and fight broke out.
Listening to all these guys continually parading information;reading from law and hacked documents, uncharacterised informants, feeding the public information that is not only unproven but expected to be taken as so. Just unlawful, unjust and unprocessed. That is what the expect the police and government to do. Just pick up anyone suspicious and charge them. Then they can say how unlawful and undemocratic it was to do so. Look how often the MANO fire is used, guys it personal not only political. Even their supporters see it but won’t admit it. I can get information on illegal activity done by UWP too but what the point. How many of us knew that Ron Greene had dual citizenship and we did not bother. Deceased Roosevelt Douglas had seven passports, Are you telling me know one knew. Help to investigate the crime, Mr. James don’t resort to the same nonsensical end game you have been playing for the last 15 years.
Heheheheh . Am from penville and sorry to say. That many off us job less . Mister jame when will u take us out from that disater. I finish. School and I cannot get a job in my own country . All where u go they tell u we are not hireing no vacancy . I wish am calling on the(lyo) leader gertude thomas. It look like ill.have to live de counrty and never come back .
I AM FROM PENVILLE TOO .THIS PLACE HAS SOME OF THE MOST FERTILE LAND.FROM LAYSAYDAYDAY TO SAVANNE YOU CAN PLANT ANY CROP YOU WANT TO.RAISE ANY ANIMALB YOU WANT.FROM LAHAUT MANIAR TO AWOYA .TAKE YOUR PIC .FROM THE DEMATRIE RIVER TO THE BALTAZAR RIVER TAKE YOUR PIC ON FAMILY LAND.YOU SHOULD BE SELF EMPLOYED AND NOT LIKE OTHER PEOPLE IN FOREIGN COUNTRIES WHO HAVE TO BE FOR JOBS WITH THE WORST WORKING CONDITIONS.DONT BE LIKE THOSE LAZY UWP POLITICAN TALK ,WHO GET PAID FOR DOING NOTHINGE
congratuation mr james. when you come back prim minister there will be no crime. i did not know is this administration that sendthe young men to murder the nurse son in your constituency. i did not know is the administration that send a man in high society in your area to molest the person child and had to pay out of court. And i did not know is this administration that sending people like you and me to do and say what we want, when we want, and how we want. but wait when u get in our country will not have no more crime, no more lawless people, no more irresponsible people, no more corruption, we will be a heaven that everyone will come to leave.
we have laws in our country to combat all crimes and should not left to one man to rectified this because he cannot be every where.each and everyone of us must take responsibilities seriously.work with the police,inform the police of anything suspicious.tell the police and help by giving a statement and be ready to serve as witness because the police cannot be everywhere .Therefore we all must help the police to help us
Go on Edo! Keep enticing people to commit crime and blame it on the Government. This should see you and your party back in power. (somehow i don’t think so). You and your party will languish in opposition with this type of mentality.
Hush your mouth their man, all of all you is the same.
Why is edison always the one seeking an apology from the opposition. I don’t hear anyone else from the uwp speaking he needs to wake up from his slumber of denial and work with the current government to make a better Dominica. All this blame game is not helping and it sure is not helping the country, the time being wasted seeking an apology is time that could be used going to law makers to get something done about these criminals. So fed up of edison and his goons. Everything that happens in dca is skerrit my god.
iwant to hear my james statement as to what he would do to such criminals. the only thing i agree with my james on in his statement is that of my tiyani who was doing a great job for the country. i do hope that these criminals are found quickly and the same thing that they did to these tourist must be done to them,thats what i will blame skero them for if they allow these criminals to get away with just a part on the back
Another disappointment from the opposition.Mr.James…in the name of love for country,join in fighting crime,not bringing down the Party in power.Is’s like you and others crying down on how bad things have become in the Agricultural Sector…i was much younger when you were campaigning and said”when we get in power…BANANAS will be $1.00 a pound and you were there and did nothingggggggggggg.Never helped.Is that something that is bothering you to the point you are blaming the D.L.P? Come on,make me proud and think of ways to help irradicate the crime vibes in Dominica.No hard feelings Mr.James,but think before you make a statement to make you and your party look ugly.
TO MAKE A LONG STORY SHORT ….MR.EDISON YOU ARE SAYING THAT IS THE NEW LEADER OR THE LEADERS PARTY WHO PUTS WEAPONS IN THE CRIMINAL’S HANDS TO COMMIT THE CRIMES ?
YOU LIVE IN A BIG PUSH HOUSE AND LIVE ON A BIG SALARY,YOU OBVIOUSLY DRIVE A NICE CAR AND WEAR NICE CLOTHES AND I WOULD GATHER THAT YOU ARE EDUCATED IN A DIFFERENT MANNER.HOW CAN THE POOR PEOPLE WHO HAVE BEEN POOR FROM GENERATION TO GENERATION ,I KNOW AND THEY KNOW THAT IT IS WRONG TO COMMIT CRIMES BUT WHAT DO THEY HAVE OR WHAT DO YOU GIVE FROM YOUR SALARY TO HELP EVEN ONLY ONE OF THE CRIMINALS.
CRIMINALS DO NOT BECOME CRIMINALS FOR NO REASON EVEN THOUGH I DO NOT CONDONE CRIMES.THESE PEOPLE THAT ARE COMMITTING CRIMES, THE MAJORITY DO IT IN ORDER TO SURVIVE.
WHEN YOU WERE IN POWER WAS DOMINICA CRIME FREE? IF NO WELL YOU SHOULD BE PULLED BY THE BULLOCKS FROM SCOTS HEAD TO PORTSMOUTH.IF YOU CANNOT SPEAK FACTS SHUT IT.YET I MUST SAY THAT AS A DOMINICAN I DO NOT SUPPORT ANY POLITICAL PARTY AND IF ONE DAY I WISH TO, I RATHER SUPPORT SKERRITS PARTY BECAUSE AFTER READING SUCH FOOLISHNESS IF YOU WILL BE THE NEXT LEADER DOMINICA IS DOOMED .
I am looking at the section where Mr. James correlates the increase in crime in the north and northeast and the sacking of Mr. Behanzin and I must say that he is right. There is a direct relationship between the 2. I must say that our laws have there defects but we don’t really need to change the laws urgently. The magistrates and judges giving stiffer penalties can go a long way.
For every situation, there is a maximum sentence. Why not hand down the maximum?
Reading this article, I must say that I had my difficulties with some of the points mentioned by Mr. James, but reading the comments, I am appalled at how naive some of us can be.
Saying that the ruling administration has no responsibility in the drastic increase in crime and violence in country is shocking.
I recall, very recently, the minister of tourism when asked about the increase in murder in his constituency tried to relate it to the “development” which was taking place there.
Dominicans, get REAL. It is already too late.
the uk does not have the most cctv in the world china first, russia second then the uk i know so dats my job.. if a leader does not respect the law weat do expect to happen in the country the nation will follow
Blame the police officers cause it’s there job to protect the citizens. they just running a patche woman and seat down an get fat.what happen they cannot be on the road 24/7? D only time u’ll see dem going up an down is when something happen. I think police officers should be on the road everyday.
YOU THINK SO? WELL YOU MUST BE ONE HELL OF A SLAVE MASTER. YOU DONT SEEM TO UNDERSTAND THE OTHER TASKS THAT THEY HAVE TO PERFORM. COME JOIN THE FORCE TO FELL THE HEAT. FOOL
dominicans open your eye,why do you people trying to compared dominica with the big country of the world dominica is just a dot with a population of seventy thousand people why so much crime,don’t u see what happening.without work and without young people willing to work what do u think that going to happen.
It is a shame what is going on in Dominica right now, politics mix with corruption and greed by our leaders and what are we left with? A LAWLESS SOCIETY. All leaders must come togerther to find solutions to curbe/reduce crime going on in Dominica right now because at the end of the game we are all affected by it. It is the people who will suffer, not the politicians
I can’t believe that this is coming from a so called educated man. How in heavens name can you blame any one govt for the surge in crime? Can one blame the president of any country for the crime that is being commited by a few of its no good for nothing citizens? What you need to think of doing is to try to get some of the laws changed so that when these criminals are caught they can be punished to the fullest extent of the laws of the land. Also study your bible and you will know that these things must come to past because it is prophesied that these things will happen because mankind is not going to get better as we get closer to the coming of our LORD and KING. So stop blaming the Skerit Administration because just reading your comments tells me that you are not ready to lead.
If you want to blame someone or something blame the crack dealer. People addicted to crack cocaine are deranged and desperate for money to feed their habit. These drugs are not homegrown. They have to be smuggled in and they need lax or corrupt law enforcement to thrive. Dominica can do an excellent job promoting the unique charms of our nature island, but bad news like tourists being attacked will cancel all good efforts.
Mr. James rather than turning every issue into a political one, why not offer something constructive, like a village based community watch where the residents support volunteers to watch the beach accesses and other places where tourist would be vulnerable . UWP could help organize it. What do you say?
This is pure crap, why aren,t all dominicans behaving the same way seeing is the statement by skerit and the lack of solving the burning of mr emanuel,s home that causes that? mr james get something real to say,i more believe is the opposition that is causing that by there calling for civil disobedience and boots on the ground,however i do agree that mr behansen should be brought back to the bar and these criminals should be made public examples.
but how old is eddo na? he still in politics! lol!
You mean such brutal things are happening in terms of crimes and politicians playing blame game, while supports accepting by taking sides? What happen to ideas? what happen to it affecting us all? does politics have to play out in every single thing? So you are telling me if the UWP was in office nothing of that sort would happen? WAW! They even better than God man, i can’t think of a country where crime isn’t increasing. Are you telling me that because am against this government i should withhold information to the police? Do you know that the next crime is going to be at your home? I am sorry for all the questions but i find it amazing that human beings can be so wicked. It’s like people care less if the country fails only because their party not in power and forget that they will also be affected, that’s what hate does.
There are good and law-abiding people in DA and there are evil and non-law-abiding ones.
I always think that children should be disciplined from childhood. Parents play a greater part and then the schools, elementary and high school, the latter for those who attend should also play a part. The Church is not exonerated from this.
Children should not only be taught curricula activities and play sports without proper discipline and respect for others.
The PM should not be the one to be blamed for criminal activities. Ever considered that the Judge/Magistrate/Defense Lawyers are to be blamed as well? Criminals/murderers are granted bail. Some only pay a mere pittance in fines or not at all; others receive minimum sentence and then are released with no rehabilitation. What do you expect? This is the result of increased criminal activities in DA.
Edo,this is one of your politicaL stragedy.Come better than that.UWP HAVE MUCH MORE IN PROMOTING THE CRIMES THAT’S TAKING PLACE IN THE COUNTRY.You all are forever vex.Nothing is ever good to you all.Don’t blame the Government for YOU All(UWPITES)course/cause of action.
When all of ah you refuse to attend parliament to address all these issues, isn’t that fueling the criminals in a way telling that there elected members do not give a S$%&^*T about what they do since they are not sitting in parliament together with the present government to put these issues to them.
Tell me that Mr. James eh!
Eddo and his supporters are the ones advocating,and encouraging criminal activity in DA,I read the comments that they post everyday and u can hear them on the airways,for them it’s a way to destabilize the government not realizing some animals will carry on their message.I have three daughters and I can’t Imagin having to go through what this family went through, my heart goes out to them and may the lord be with them.The animals they will burn in hell in due time.
eddo what next? u gan blame d gov for global warming???
James reel and come again, your party incited more crime in Dominica by disrespecting and not representing us in oparliament. You make soo much threatening statements in Dominica against soo many things that you caused a stir in the Dominica public.
U know why there is alot of negativity in Dominica??? ask yourself self james retract your steps and see where the route of the problem was.
Such abject foolishness!! More things change, the more they remain the same. This is the best that the UWPwee has?
LOOOOOK WHO”S TALKING…..if you constipate blame the Government as well. Man please!!!!
If you see tomorrow, praise the government as well. Your ……!
When I love my country:
When you love your country, you should not use use crime against a party but just say: I go to help you and know what to do to help the country
When you love your country:
When you love your country you don’t use what happens to tourist like a flag for your party, you should say: ok for the safe of Dominica I can help you and we would do, all together this and th
So how about a civic body like ‘The Committee of Concerned Citizens for the Fight Against Crime in Dominica’ CCCFACD? Mr James could be the President and who knows, that might sweep him back into power!!
wwoooooossshhhhhh fyah hit them red ants… they all moving crazy fashion… haha mr james hit it wear it hurts… bow all you head in shame still… say it’s childish or whatever… but in no first world country would the commissioner still have a job… only in dominica people saying is not so and so fault… wake up… it’s always the leaders fault… because they are the ones that have to set plans in place to ensure these things don’t happen… these are not isolated situations.. since 2010 we experiencing a surge in crime and nothing can be done… so it’s not their fault to curb the crime… zor toh sorte..
Mr James i want to hear i met with the PM about fighting crime in Dominica and we came up with a plan. All this talk about Skerrit Skerrit is starting to sound like a broken record. If all you can do is blame the govt let someone talk on Marigot behalf. We want results from your party and the ruling party.
No doh blame the government for nothing negative but instead big them up for everything positive. People it works both ways and thats what James is saying in a nutshell- on the utterances from the PM on that particular occasion cannot be blamed totally for the rise in criminal activity but we should be man and responsible enough to say that it was wrong; and please lets Also Ministers of National Security, the present Minister of Tourism and even the Police Commissioner have all given the impression to Dominicans and the outside World that crime is not on the increase and that Dominica was the safest place in the World clearly sweeping the matter of crime under the carpet; they have been living conveniently in denial, now that it is starting showing up its urgly head we do not want to hold the ones in office responsible.I am sure one will agree with me that there are no real new policies and initiatives that we can point to tackle crime that this administration have embarked upon. They have literally turn downed the offer by Dr. St Jean to help and they have isolated and dismissed Tiani the Magistrate who clearly was making a very critical contribution in curbing crime to the extent that the people in the North including the criminals that he helped to rehabilitate into society are crying foul yet we say do not blame the government. The reoccurances in the Woodfood Hill/Calisbishie area as it relates to attacks on tourist is a clear indication that the administration has not been able to put in place no startegy to the fighting of that criminal activity in that area; there are no visible and tangible signs that the police are in fact taking proactive measures to fight crime- all this is a clear indication that there is no real leadership at the top in these critical matters. I mean the numerous unsolved crimes are alarming and it leaves much for speculation. Just listen to the majority of the calypsos this year.
In summary we can keep associating everything that is good and positive of that of the Government good and visionary leadership but if we are prepared to do that we must also be prepared to hold them equally responsible for the deteroration of society. So just as they are responsible for the so called positive developments happening in the country so to they must be held responsible for the decay and ills in society. The Government is responsible for all aspects of the islands development including its social development and if the society is suffering from an increase level of criminal activity it is because the ultimate authority which is the government is not doing enough to tackle the problem,and thats the bottomline or rather the buck stops with them..
What an irresponsible statement to make by a former Prime Minister. Mr. James and his supporters on a daily basis incite violence on the island by asking residents to put their boots on the ground. The language used by them daily is deplorable and should not come from the mouth any person seeking to hold or hold political office.
In his usual spiteful manner he is twisting the incidents to push forward his political agenda. Instead of engaging all Dominicans in a more peaceful approach he continues to sow underlined messages of discord.
We cannot continue to allow these politicians to play with words that will deepened and divide our people. When will some honest people step up to lead this country??? We need a new focus and a new vision because those so called patriots and present day politicians don’t cut it.
the hotel need to have their people with their guest to protect them from thing like that and it could happen to anyone in dominca too
GOOD POINT HONOURABLE JAMES.
What ridiculous statements by an opposition leader. The truth of the matter is UWP members are the ones inciting these types of criminal activity and unrest in Dominica. At every opportune time they are like a wild pack of wolves trying to destroy their prey. UWP have yet to bring anything of substance to the table but are bent on creating and maintaining an atmosphere of unrest with their continuous slandering of the government. For UWP to boldly make a statement excusing the perpetrators of such violent crimes is because of at lack of transparency in government is in keeping is a testament as to how far UWP is willing to go gain credibility. UWP is proving how dangerous they are to the well being of Dominicans, visitors and Dominica by doing and say anything to foster unrest in this country. The majority of Dominicans know what UWP is all about and the few misfits they have been able to convince to create unrest with their criminal activity will be caught and prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. UWP is a Shameful party.
But is true! the leader of the country shows no example in all sectors of life1
dont worry with the thumbs. the NJIC job is to protect the “good” name of the dlp. the views here reflect the appointed shadow operatives slant on the situation as it is in dominica.
you soooo right
Come on Eddo, are you still fishing in your 2009 political-campaign?
What dos that have to with some blue-vex down to earth criminals Who are doing the work of the devil? Please get to the point, and condemn these blasted criminals.
Can’t you see that they are just trying to ruin Dominica’s good name?
Parot, were you in Dominica when thi political junk made the statement that no law no constitution……….., off course the criminals are taking the lead from that statement
When great decisions are made smart, educated and forward thinking people have gone back hundreds of years in history to see if the people before them had the same difficulties, what they did about it and what the outcome of their actions led to.
Going back three to four years and observing the actions taken then and the trends that have followed is a sign of intelligence and not to be frowned upon. Sadly, making fun of someone who doesn’t just judge on just the present but would look at the history of actions of a person or group depicts irresponsibility and a lack of potential positive leadership ability.
Honestly, Mr James, I think that the uwp are encouraging, in many subtle ways, an environment of crime and lawlessness so that they can blame the government.
you ;among others, would say that…
MR GOOD LOOKING JAMES MUSTB BE BLINDED BY HIS LOOKS .WHO HAS BEEN ON THE RADIO STATION SAYING THAT THEY CANT BE BLAMED IF DOMINICA ACCEPT BAD BEHAVIOR.WHO HAVE BEEN SAYING THAT THE P M IS AN OBSTICLE TO BE REMOVED BY ANY MEANS NECESSARY .WHO HAVE BEEN BLUE VEX OVER A YEAR NOW .HOW CAN AN AMERICAN LIKE RON GREEN CONTEST SEVERAL ELECTIONS BUT WHEN HE FAILS TAKES TWO DOMINICAN TO COURT .WHO HAVE BEEN CALLING DOMINICAN STUPID AND IGNORANTN .WHO HAVE BEEN PREACHING HATRED AND VIOLENCE ALL YEAR ROUND .WHO HAVE BEEN PROMOTING RACIAL VIOLENCE AGAINST THE CHINESE PEOPLE .WHO HAVE BEEN PROMOTING THE DEFACEMENT OF A BRIDGE BUILT BY THE CHINESE .WHO HAVE BEEN CRTISIZING THE IMPROVEMENT TO THE AIRPORT IN HIS OWN CONSTITUENCY .THE LIST GOES ON .ITS A GOOD THING WE DO NOT ALL LOOK LIKE YOU
Idleness is the Devil’s playground. The people of Dominca have become idle under Labour. Find jobs for the people, return the pride and culture of work to the Domincan people.
open your eye
Care to provide examples, my good person?
this present government have alot of blame to take for the increase in crime in the country.when politics and greed comes before people that is the result crime upon crime and no one will be excluded.if the crime doesnt take place at your home it will happen to you on your way home. AND`CRIME IS NO RESPECTER OF PERSONS.WHO DOH HAVE 10 BODY GUARDS` THEY ARE INN PROBLEM.
Petty and childish statement. The blame game will not better the current state of affairs. It’s time for all concerned to work collectively to find solutions to these problems. To much playing politics in this country!
take it from a CRIMINAL LIKE ME!!!!! they ARE to BLAME!!!!!!!!!!!
It appears to me you can only read some word and cannot putmeaning to others. I saw three suggestion to tackle the problem. I fyou are blind to them put your suggestions forward. your damn conoomoonoo
The Government said they could bring development, the country is just going downwards under Labour.
“…no law including the constitution will prevent me (the PM) from taking action as I please.” You should be concerned with a statement like that, especially coming from the PM. In essence, he is saying “I will do as I please, no one can stop me from doing anything. I don’t believe in the constitution, it is garbage.” Are you not troubled by that statement? Stop playing politics people.
the uk has the most cctv cameras in the world but yet still there are crimes n still young ones murdering each other…wonder if the p.m is in my thoughts for him to know when im goin to cause a crime yeah cuz all now im about to steal a 110 dollars …syke!!!!!
come on people, the government is always to one to be blamed for any bad national event the praised for teh good ones, even when we get cricket by default. so why the force and fight.
No stadium, no cricket, so the government can indeed take the praise for the cricket, by default or planned!!
thought you were gonna emphasize on the fact that certain laws need to be amended…like charging a fine for an unprovoked assault…..a man goes to his sister’s job chokes her and beats her up and he gets fined…he should have been sentenced to prison….a man take advantage of a woman and the court simply encouraged it…..he did not hit back in self defense…he started the fight….when the court does that tell me what is stopping people out there from beating down whomever they feel like…..i sure would if i have the money to pay….
Mr James did you retract your statement when you said “am on stage and am in charge” when you first made your national speech, can you tell us what you meant by that at the time. Did Earl Williams retract his statement when he said “we know how to cover our tracks”. stop being a political paracite Mr. James. Stop blaming the crimes that happening now on the Labour Party Government. If you are looking for political gains Mr. James you better think twice. You party is only bent on negativity and that all. You all look for every loup holes to make a political malice.
This will not bring your Party back in power. So you better think of a new stategy.
And while am on it Mr. James, You all are Asking the same Dominicans you said that are poor, hungry, homeless to give you will $100,000.00 dollars to fight against a ruling that the judge made a decision about and to help Fontaine with his lies. A magwa sa. How are you all interested in the people of this land Mr. James.
Dominicans wake up, the people are only interested in themselves and themselves alone. Don’t be fooled.
hey shak… if i had money i wud give you that $100.000 jus for that statement
Some of us are still snoring in the past and has not been hit by the new reality. Unless it happen to us in the physical sense we will see nothing different. wait till a BOOzaiy fall in your bedroom. you will forget what mr James said a decade ago and realize what is really happening under your nose
am on syage and am in charge cannot be compared to statements like no law or no constitution can prevent me from being nominated, that message from skerrit shows clearly that we are a lawless country
so true….. he will never change … stupid
He has suggested that the utterances and actions of the government are fanning the flames of criminal activity.
… this is precisely the mentality that is fanning the flames. Everyone thinks that they can do what they want because the government is ‘corrupt’. In other words people are not accountable for their actions because of corruption.. Continue with the hate politics Edo and do not think that you and your opposition have a part to play in increased crime, bravo..
I am suggesting that the opposition get their own police force, set up their own prison walls, set up a juvenile delinquency unit with counselling fcilities and oh finally turn a blind eyes to the PM works of the government. only then will the know it all one sided Dominican find merit in the things the opposition does…Alas I am stupified by the stupidiy…
Oh by the way I am not politically affiliated with the Labour party eh I am in fact affiliated with your party.
eddison during your 5 years you mean to say there was no crime.have you heard the opposition in england, france, australia,america blame government for crime.in martinique and guadeloupe,who do they blame?some politicians will say anything to get support.don’t be in this line eddison.i know you can do better than that.is that what you going back to parliament to present,cha man.
well i don’t know about you but i am sure james can’t do any better than his usually stupidity.
you can say that again!!!!! wonders will never end…
Yes you monkey there was crime but don’t you see that there is something wrong with this picture. That student should be jailed. Where is the law. So what you saying is UWP that more bad.
Where is the law and order in the country. It never used to be like that, it has gone worst. People are getting away with crimes and being disrespectful. When I went to school in D/A you had to respectful your elders. To hit a teacher is a big disgrace and the teachers are the body of the school. Stop blaming UWP when they do not do anything you guys complain and when they are doing their jobs you guys still complain……What do you guys want??? Start training your children the teachers are not responsible for your children. They are responsible for teaching not training your children manners. Basic manners comes from the home.
You called him monkey but i prefer poppy because he is looking for grubs and no matter how many times he is chased he comes bachk to lick and love, he will continue to bark for his supper cause he sees no other way.
I don’t know you but i think you need to know something. It was the education reform system implemented by UWP that took away some 80% of the rights of the teacher in the class room. That when you discipline a child in school. You, the teacher will be subject to a fine of $1000.00 and six months imprisonment on the grounds of simply the child’s testimony. I remember one student misbehaving in class, was instructed by his teacher to get to his chair. Upon refusal told the teacher in front of the rest of the class. “YO” padna I not going to sit, touch me if you mad I will make you pay a $1000.00 and go jail.” There are those who always have information on radio but that information can be obtained from the ministry of education under the reign of UWP.
nobody doh blame UWP, UWP WAS BLAMING SOMEBODY!!!!
that’s what he is good for.
you have no logical understanding of what’s going on, you do not know when to use capitals in your writings that is a clear indication of how poor you are able to exercise your judgement. poor fool.
Mr James…honestly on this public domain i must confess that we are in fact friends and on this note I must point out that this statement or claim that you’ve just made is unfounded. Mr. Skerrit knows for sure that there are laws that can prevent him from being elected. He I think is/was speaking as any Dominican would in a heated conversation and thus he is not in a position to point a gun at anyone individuals head and say you must go and burgle this shop or that tourist or this hotel. Nah don’t try this one. In as much as it will be Mr. Skerrit alone who will stand trial for his crimes and angry words each person who go out there and harm others will surely have to pay for theirs. Between you and me I do believe that the major input the government here is to step up their campaign on returning deportees who have a criminal background and ensure that these persons are not let loose to carry out these terrible crimes. If you took a closer look Dominica has never experienced this high rate of criminal activity before the UK and American countries started to step up their own campaign to fight against criminal activity in their country. They send them back to our shores and we don’t know who they are and this is the ripple effect. Garcon I can’t even go on the beach as I used to after hours. So blaming this government is not going to help. What will help is if you share your ideas on how we go about further tackling that situation. Don’t you think it would be better than bashing the government of the day? Trust me on this one
ooooooooooohhhhhhhhhh PLLLLLEEEEAAAAASSSSSSEEEEE!!!
We need to not make this a political issue
what we need to do is sit and find solutions
pointing fingers at the Administration will not
solve the problem.Churches, parents, schools
opposition should put ideas together and come up
with solutins to help alleviate crime in Dominica
So are you saying that all the criminal activity promoted by the labour government is legitimate?
mr. James, a culture of blame wi not help you back in power. We the independent intellient people of Dominica, want to hear what measures you would take as a overnment to contain crime in Dominica.
sorry but your statements are idsappointing. The PM cannot be held responsible for other peoples action. However a bi-partisan approach to crime prevention would reat help, so what are you oin to bring to the table Mr. James.
Instead of blaming DLP why don’t you suggest something that will decrease crime nuh?
When you have a speaker of the house like that can one get any way. Maybe you should try!!!
Well this time he cant blame the speaker for anything. he had the chance to bring something to the fore and all he did was play the blame game. stupse
The regulations in the house has not changed and still stands. The Opposition wants to do things their way. That is why the speaker won her case.
There is a suggestion in the last paragraph of the article. Or maybe you didn’t even bother to read the article. So if is not the government of a small country like Dominica to step up and do something about this increase in attacks on people and their property, I wonder whose job it is.
very childish comments mr.james.Alot of the crimes committed in dominica is by young persons who traveled abroad and returns to dominica with their old habits.It is absolutelty ridiculous you would blame crime in a country on a fire at Emanuel home or the removal of tyani.This is rubbish.Why not look at our unemployment rate and make comments.You speak like a child without proper information.I am dissapointed in such a stupid and boylike comment and statement by the leader of an opposition party in my beautiful island.
dats y i cannot vote someone like dat as my PM
may be so but i see your comments as baseless, thought less, hungry bias attitude that is bringing us nowhere.
Shame on you to make these political.
Please awake from your dream. Crime is political when our political leaders refuse to set the example or take the necessary steps to stem the increase.
good say bro but people are blinded by colors so they can’t see the truth. the fact that you got so many thumbs down shows that dominica is lost. smh
Where have you ever heard that crime is political???? So all the crimes that’s happening in the US is that political too??? Some people are just greedy, lazy and wicked. I can understand if a person steals something to eat, but high class robbery with guns etc. that’s something else.
It has to political in that citizen cannot take the law into the own hands, it is the government that have to take action to clean up the mess in our country.
yeah like if you refuse to look for work to do and prefer to make a quick buck from drugs or theft, does the government have to prevent you from doing that when its your personal choice to be a bum? Some of us work hard with minimum wages and struggle to live decent lives under good, bad, corrupt uncorrupt governments, so what is the excuse?
U R RIGHT.THE BUCK STOPS WITH THE GOVERNMENT.IF THINGS GO WRONG THEY MUST TAKE CORRECTIVE ACTION. IF THINGS GO RIGHT THEY MUST BE GIVEN PRAISE .BUT THE BLAME SHOULD NOT BE PUT ON THE HEAD OF THE PRESENT P M .THE HISTORY OF BAD BEHAVIOR THAT IS NOW CAUSING PROBLEMS STARTED WITH THE FREEDOM PARTY WHO PROMOTED THE ATTITUDE THAT ANYTHING AND ANY TYPE OF ACTION WAS ACCEPTABLE IF IT CAUSE THE LABOUR PARTY GOVERNMENT AMBARASMENT .WE CAN GO BACK BEFORE INDEPENDENCE AND SEE THE DREAD UPRISING AND THE KILLING OF HONYCHURCH AND TROTER BEING CONVICTED OF KILLING A TOURIST .THE OVERTHROW OF JOHN AND THE LOOTING AFTER HURRICANE DAVID.AND THE RISE OF CRIMINAL ACTIVITIES.NOW THE ADVOCATES OF BAD BEHAVIOR IS ON THE RISE AGAIN.THE OPOSITION MEDIA LIKE Q95 ,THE UWP THREE BLIND MICE OR 4 IS PROMOTING DISRESPECT FOR AUTHORITY ,BAD BEHAVIOR AND VIOLENCE .THEY SHOW VERY GOOD JUSTIFICATION FOR THEIR ACTIONS.THE WRITING IS ON THE WALL .IF THIS IS NOT STOPPED NOW ,WE WILL END UP LIKE THE MIDDLE EAST.JUST LOOK AT THE RACIAL HATRED THAT IS BEING DIRECTED TOWARDS THE CHINESE PEOPLE WHO ARE HELPING US .JUST SEE THE UNJUSTFIED PREASURE ON THE LABOUR PARTY GOVERNMENT.THE BLAME MUST BE LAID DOWN ON EDDISON JAMES AND HIS CREW
Correction that is what the police is there for. No doubt the ruling party has part to play. But why do it when i pay someone to do it.
Yes it is so easy to say this. And then what ? Do you think the governments (this one or another one) can immediately stop such violence ? Do not you think they need full support from each and every citizen ? Do not you think they try ? The police officers do what they can. And they succeed more than you might want to say. But it is a very difficult mission to stop these animals . That is what they are : animals . And whatever you can say, any government MUST play by the rules when these animals have no rules . So easy to blame someone and then turn your head . What did YOU do to prevent or stop crime ? Did YOU do anything ?
