Prime Minister Roosevelt Skerrit has been harshly criticised by some critics who say he was the main Caribbean leader pushing for the appointment of Commonwealth Secretary-General, Dominica-born Baroness Scotland, as a campaign to replace her, threatens to descend into a race row.
Scotland has been under pressure to resign, with the UK Prime Minister, Boris Johnson, suspending Britain’s £4.7million annual grant to the Commonwealth Secretariat after claims of incompetence and cronyism were made against the Baroness.
Former Attorney General, Bernard Wiltshire, who appeared as a guest on OBSERVER Media’s Big Issues program in Antigua and Barbuda on Sunday, is blaming Skerrit for what he said is the embarrassment that Scotland has brought to the commonwealth.
“The whole thing was a corrupt practice from the start. The prime minister of Dominica was used to steal from the Caribbean and have Scotland appointed…” he said.
According to Wiltshire, it is clear that Scotland wasn’t ready for that position. “She put herself in that position in helping to deprive the Caribbean of its turn…the rest of the Caribbean governments agreed that Ron Sanders was a better candidate…” he recalled.
He said from all indications, Scotland has no real interest in the Caribbean and claimed that “Skerrit never cared about the solidarity of the region …”
Meantime, Economist Thompson Fountain, who was also a guest on OBSERVER Media’s Big Issues program said Scotland’s appointment was unfair. “It appears she was bulldozed into the position…I believe her tenure is not one we can be proud of,” he said.
Fountain said further that Scotland brought all this on herself. “I think her tenure has been reflecting poorly on Dominica. I have been following her and I am amazed at the number of scandals she has been involved in,” he said.
Scotland has not been popular among all Caribbean leaders and in 2016, Antigua and Barbuda’s Prime Minister, Gaston Browne, accused her of bringing shame to the Caribbean after she approved the spending of over $1Million Dollars for the makeover of her grace-and-favour-Mayfair flat.
All this comes as Scotland is lobbying African and Caribbean countries to back her remaining as Commonwealth secretary-general
Lady Scotland, 64, is said to have accused Britain, Australia and New Zealand of a racially motivated campaign against her after the countries withdrew discretionary funding from the Commonwealth Secretariat in response to an audit that exposed governance failings under her leadership.
The matter will be addressed when 31st Intersessional Conference of Heads of Government of the Caribbean Community (CARICOM) gets underway in Barbados from 18-19 February.
Dominica’s Prime Minister Roosevelt Skerrit is expected to attend the meeting in Bridgetown.
“My errors are not because I am dunce; my errors are typing errors, some a common because I write without reading back or spell check!”
Telemaque, are you saying that “hear” in the place of “her” is a typing error?
You don’t proofread because you don’t know how to do that. And unless your computer is from the “Twilight zone”, it should be pointing out your spelling errors.
“Anyway, I know you finished elementary, but never seen inside of a secondary school, nor inside of a college”
Man, you know nothing about me, and my “education status”, I am better–educated than you ever will be
I was a school teacher for 6 years, when I left Dominica. I attended High School in Toronto to get the credits that I needed to attend College. You have a photograph of me for Seneca College.
You claim to have 4 degrees, but you never told us what they are for, neither have you named the college/university which you attended; did you buy them?
@Elizabeth, Thank you ever so much I have been saying all along this Francisco, guy is a fake without Google he is dead in the water pretending to be what he is not, it is now 15to 20 years since he Francisco, been bashing Mr Skerrit, and family this is the worst part of it all that nasty super bug 🐛.
Man bites dog, he is not using Google, he doesn’t know how to go on that site–the same reason he is not on Facebook, he cannot open an account there. The man simply goes through writing manuals to find the things that he writes here–and he calls himself “highly educated”.
Seem as if he is still living in the stone ages, so he cannot comprehend Life in this present time–that is why I always tell him that he is from the Twilight Zone or the Black Lagoon territory–good heavens!
DNO can you please post these pieces for me?. The last entry is not numbered
This is entry number (1)
People of Dominica, the Bible is full of the examples of Life to us, people in this World.
Below is an example of why we should stop the judgment of others in our environment—especially against our governing body and its Primary Leader. Those men and women are strictly under God’s control; we should know and respect that fact.
The mentality of the Israelites, who were being led into the Promised Land by the Way of the Wilderness through Moses, presents a great example of most Nations in the World–not just in Dominica–that mentality is in the response of the people to a God who created and chose them for His own.
Those people spent 40 years in the Wilderness because of their lack of faith in God–even so, no one who left Egypt and was above 20 years in the Wilderness did not enter Canaan, they died in the Wilderness. Go to entry (1) b
“People of Dominica, the Bible is full of the examples of Life to us, people in this World. Below is an example of why we should stop the judgment of others in our environment—especially against our governing body and its Primary Leader. Those men and women are strictly under God’s control; we should know and respect that fact.”
Elizabeth, it is either that you are in denial of reality before you, dumb, politically illiterate, blind to the operations and functions of a government, and not Skerrit, who is not the government. He has a role to play as PM, that he has failed miserable and to function accordingly in our interest and not blind Elizabeth but all our people who comes first. Elizabeth, stop this protection of Skerrit, we know he is already politically stained and has no knowledge of socio-economic development, the reason why our Dominica, its people are in poverty, reduced to Skerrit paupers Red Clinic scam, just to gain loyalty. This is fraud and taking advantage of people.
Dear Man Bites Dogs and Madam Elizabeth
I have done a survey of your ratings and it is quite clear how our people are focus looking for good and accountable government. Where any leader has failed, irrespective of who you are one must be truthful on the incompetence and failure of Skerrit and his failed courted Labour G0vernment.
I sincerely hope that this brief survey wakes you all up., and put Domininca and its people first. No one respects your comments, because it is all about Skerrit, not our Dominica. Wake up and smell the coffee and corruption.
No one rates you all in favour, but your ratings are more “No” than “Yes”
Please wake up, smell the coffee and read the news that you are able to best comprehend and analyse the situation in poor ailing Dominica.
Elizabeth: These are the failed ratings you get. No one respects your fake comments
YES NO
What do you think? 1 13
What do you think? 2 11
What do you think? 2 10
What do…
Viewsexpressed, you have made me a very special person, to think that you needed to do a survey about my comments. Do you think that you have done any harm to me? Well, I am sorry to tell you, not at all!
I see my comment ratings all the time, so your foolish survey is useless.
Let me tell you what is the reason for those ratings. First of all, your people use the thumbs-down because of my name. They don’t read my comments
Secondly, this comment board is consist of many childish and carnal minded individuals–including you.
I am a person with a high level of spiritual maturity, you and yours could never receive my wisdom and understanding of Life–especially through my use of God’s Word–His Grace to me.
So then I am rather sorry for you all, but you all are the meg minority; my fellow laborites receive the same ratings as I do. What is 13 people, to give an accurate account of anything,–especially if they are your friends. ………….
This is entry 1 (b)
We learn from the first 4 books of the Old Testament, that the people had endless grievances against Moses, their Leader.
They blamed him for all their woes, to the point that they said: “Were there no graves in Egypt that you should bring us in the Wilderness to die?”.
For people lacked faith in God. They didn’t know He was the One guiding Moses, for their sake. This sounds like our ways in Dominica; it is a good thing that PM Skerrit is not raging at us.
This time they are complaining about not having drinking water. So once again Moses must seek advice from God and so he did. Here is the command that God gave to him:
Numbers 20: 7-8: Then the LORD spoke to Moses, saying, “Take the rod; you and your brother Aaron gather the congregation. Speak to the rock before their eyes, and it will yield its water; thus you shall bring water for them out of the rock, and give drink to the congregation and their animals.”
Elizabeth, as evil as you are by now I hope you are not of the opinion when you write about God here anybody is taking you seriously.
You are a hypocrite, with nerves of steel!
You assassinate Lennox Linton character: you talk about the man as if he is some criminal; when in reality you do not know Lennox, you never cross path with him; you are satanic.
keep doing Roosevelt your god bidding, leave God words out of it.
If someone takes a dagger and commence skinning you alive you would not feel a single slash in the process; because your nerve would not sense the cutting into your flesh!
Nervous system conducts stimuli from sensory receptors to the brain and spinal cord and conducts impulses back to other parts of the body.
As with other higher vertebrates, the human nervous system has two main parts: the central nervous system the brain and spinal cord, and the peripheral nervous, all your nerves are dead, hence you have no feelings!
Telemaque, go on your state of existence, to the audience of this comment board you do not know me!
I wrote nothing above, which has to do with Lennox: But here is yours: “You assassinate Lennox Linton character: you talk about the man as if he is some criminal; when in reality you do not know Lennox, you never cross path with him”. This is your opinion about the man–not mine!
This is what I call madness; so if anyone is suffering from nervous system malady, it is you and your loonies here, NOT ME!
You all could ever have the level of sanity which I have, all praise and thanks be to the Great Eternal Spirit of Light in Love and Holiness, who is connected to me through my conscience–since 22 years ago
You don’t know Him, for you would not be “blaspheming” His ways in me. People with the Spirit of God can sense that Spirit in others, regardless of their distance. You are nowhere being a spiritually sensitive individual; you never will
This is entry Number 2:
But Moses went back with anger in his mind against the people because they refused to believe in God, who was the actual One guiding and doing everything for their comfort and safety as they traveled through the Wilderness. So this is what Moses did:
Numbers 20: 11-12 “Then, Moses lifted his hand and struck the rock twice with his rod; and water came out abundantly, and the congregation and their animals drank.”
But the way Moses used his rod to “strike the rock” was wrong; he was supposed to “speak to the rock” according to God’s command. So he faced judgment from God and this was His verdict: “Then the LORD said to Moses and Aaron, “Because you did not believe Me, to hallow Me in the eyes of the children of Israel, therefore you shall not bring this assembly into the land which I have given them.”
Woman, you “Eliza-beff” are a silly person attempting to use the words of God and the Bible to reproach yourself. Look at the messages you have presented and not one of them have you with a majority “Yes”. Pretty obvious because you pen BS on behalf of your failed irresponsible, failed Skerrit. The response you get are all “NO”, meaning Negative, Neglected, Nonsensical script and thougts, because your writings are without any meaningful thoughts or messages. You are blind and hypocritical to the situation in our government and country.
I am within the government and everyday at work with the governments two building, we hear and see the obvious disappointment of your failed immature Skerrit and his clueless corrupted Labour government.
Elizabeth, I ask again please tell us where and what in Dominica is being developed that our people could gain some decent money and not Bobol money from inept ridiculous Skerrit without shame reduce our people & Families to begging and…
Elizabeth: These are the failed ratings you get. No one respects your fake comments. I took this from several of your posts where few people agree with you and tick “Yes”, majority disagree tick “No”. You notice that your rating is miserable and consider that majority of people do not agree with your comments. You will observe that majority either don`t understand your comments or reject with a resounding “No”.
YES NO

I went through your past comments and the evidence is there for all to see. The majority either don`t condone your message or that it makes no sense. Its just too personal on failed Skerrit that we all know of. You keep trying looking for something nice to attempt to raise Skerrit`s…
The message is that Moses was punished because of his anger against the people who had no faith in God. That anger of his meant that he took matters into his hands, by not “speaking to the rock” as God commanded him to do so, and God despised that; because the glory is His and we must always abide by that demand.
The lesson: God is the Almighty Living Being of Spiritual Light in Love and Holiness—His Person is the Son; His name is Christ Jesus. He is our creator, and He has planned every minute of the day that we will exist in the body. It is not to say that we should simply sit around and allow all sorts of bad things to happen to us—God is waiting to bring to an end, our hardship or sorrows–allow Him to do so!
But People of Dominica, the way you all are doing it is wrong. Very, very, wrong! Talk about your troubles, yes! But leave the rest of it to God, He will deal with the problem according to His plan, it is not yours to do so!
@The Truth Be Told, at this point, your thumbs rating is 3-17, number 3 is mine.
It is with deep concern that I express my thoughts about these people comment on certain articles; my perception of the hatred, they nurture in their minds against other people, is downright deplorable.
I have read no more than 3 or 4 good comments here, with the rest of the 26 commentators leaving such high negative thumbs below those comments. My God! Where are You in the minds of fellow Dominicans?
The Baroness, PM Skerrit, and all of us have dirty laundry in our laundry bin, I am sure that most of us have dirtier laundry than they do.
It is not our place to judge no one, God is the only and final judge. A person can do 99 good things, but we will judge him/her for the one bad thing which he/she did! What gives you all the right to do so?
Go ahead! Continue to blame the Prime Minister of Dominica for all the wrong reasons–God is watching and hearing!
You are a false prophet! Hypocrite!
Elizabeth, there you go again, with your comments above. Look how many people absolutely rejected what your comments attempt to say. What do you think? Here is the result Yes:4 No:21. That is a resounding failure on your part. Try to reconsider what you thoughts are before your comments.
To advise you, you just do not, unable to comment on matters of states affairs, your comments are just to hype up and your mission is just to and promote Skerrit and it only shows that you do not really care for the development of our Domininca and the suffering of our people seeking jobs. Where are the jobs when Skerrit killed or closed down our bananas and other crops and now focusses on the abuse of our passports sod to nefarious people all over. Those who sell for Skerrit are the ones benefiting fro the massive sales and price, we are not benefiting. Go send a letter to Skerrit and ask him these questions. It is your right. No one takes you seriously, until you wake up from your blind loyalty.
If I was a blue axx fly I certainly would not have the guts to comment on this forum about a Prime minister Skerrit that been giving them big body blows for such a long time mama look blows and that’s not all we will be going even higher in just under 5 years time on till we see the backs of you guys that stupid so-called clowns will never again be governing body in Dominica 🇩🇲 “So it shall be written, So it will be done.”
Man Bites Dog, still not showing your real name you show your true kool aid colors of ignorance with blinders on; your party will never have respect no matter how many stolen elections are complete. UWP will continue to be the class party and their followers shall continue to keep fighting for injustice and corruption.
You can make up all your class you want in your mind. As long as you remain in opposition that will do us fine. We don’t mind Skerrit and labor for another fifty years as long as he keep locking that clown (Linton) and his puppet UWP thugs out of government.
@Lorraine, And hola you seem to be a nice person I can tell by the way you write, for that reason I will be nice to you i also noticed that you are Dominican leaving in America by your spelling I will not be going there. Now my reason for not showing my real name Dominica is a small country politics in Dominica can be very dangerous to me and my family in the UK or Europe one could get away with it but not in Dominica sorry 🌷

The suspended money might be a way to cause hear to leave, but this thing: “because she is black” is total nonsense; because in England there are Black elected officials representing people in both the Conservative, and labor party serving in the British parliament!
And, I am talking about Black men and women; there are also people of all other ethnicity in the British parliament, so this racial conflict she is suggesting is nothing more than a fraud, the fraud as she proved to be.
It took a corrupted fraudulent prime minister to get her in that job!
She is fortunate rather than simply convicting, and letting her pay a fine for employing the legal immigrant she could have been sent to jail.
She can’t deny she was convicted: one who can’t be trusted with small things cannot be trusted with large things.
Anybody who associates with corrupted thieves are one of the same; be their thieving associates in Dominica or elsewhere: told suffering Dominicans to suck salt…
“…….And, I am talking about Black men and women; there are also people of all other ethnicity in the British Parliament, so this racial conflict she is suggesting is nothing more than a fraud, the fraud as she proved to be………”
Fet, you are right on Que and we support your commentary fully. One cannot, must not be given a prestigious international position and appears not to be functioning accordingly in the interest of the people and the Commonwealth States. Where there are issues on going that does not fit with the diplomatic, and international roles of the Commonwealth and a high ranking person has flaunt and engaged in matters that does not fit the role and purpose of the Commonwealth of which our Dominica is an avid member then this discrepancy must be kicked out. We have to be seen to be functioning decently that our up coming students and children will be observing the roles and occupations of our people that they are able to be one day in these prestigious…
I cannot understand why this lots of intellectual inferior followers of that so-called Workers clowns party is putting the blame on Prime minister Skerrit, he did not gave lady Scotland the job he voted for her yes like many other people did so why the criticizing of the man? I am a supporter off Patricia Scotland, mainly because she is Dominican at the end of the day it is up to her to tick all the right boxes, not Mr Skerrit job to tell her what she should do, if one is given a driving licence they should drive properly on the road but if they chose to drive foolishly to endanger other people though ignorant you cannot put the blame on the road licence officer! That’s why I started by using the word “inferior “one should not blame the prime minister for someone else foolishness.
Chupes man, is Skerrit that nominate her as candidate against the wishes of the rest of Caricom, I remember that well. So when you choose people is because they happen to be born in your island and not because they are the best for the job. You really are a small thinker.
@Toto, You try telling those same words to the Americans and see how small thinking they are you would be surprised to know.
Why should I direct my words to Americans dogman. It’s you I am replying to, dont run away from it.
The man does not have any comprehension of anything he struggles to read!
Ask him if what you wrote have anything to do with America, and Americans? He lacks commonsense!
He is not running away from anything; he simply do not understand anything you wrote; I would like to ask him based on your comment regarding CARICOM, what does that have to do with Americans.
No wonder he is an associate of Roosevelt Skerrit!
Is it not ironic that this convicted criminal, was born in Dominica, left before she could talk; knows nothing about Dominica, grew up in England where she broke British law by employing an legal immigrant, and got convicted.
We never heard of her having any interest in Dominica until she wonted the position which she now holds, and is fighting for her life to keep!
Roosevelt Skerrit was and still is her main supporter, and was her chief nominator!
I suppose for his support she repaid him by ensuring that some old white men dressed him up in a ridiculous pirate costume, which included a sash around his neck, and a sword tied to his hip, and declare that Dominica Mountain Chicken Carpaud Crapo Mentality a “Knight.”
When the fake Sir Knight Roosevelt Skerrit failed to get knight recognition, the man went out and bought fake honorary degrees like he’s mad to be called doctor!
No one should be surprised about this because anything Roosevelt touches turns to ashes!
One thing all you LOVE SKERRIT EH!!! Whether you admit it or not you are obsess with the man… So he nominated Baroness like Antigua nominated Ronald Sanders and Africa nominated their persons, but at the end it was who received the most vote from all eligible voters that won the race, so are you saying that election was also rigged?? LMDFAO!!!!!! YOU PEOPLE ARE SICK!!!!!!!!
That is the worst comment you that fake Linton have written on DNO thus far; it absolutely makes no sense whatsoever!
All the capital letters you are writing followed by exclamation point makes no sense; that only prove you are not an intelligent person, someone who does not have a complete elementary education, nor secondary education.
I wonder when people like you and that Dog boy will quite, and stop pretending to be smart?
Man Dog wrote “I am a supporter off Patrica Scotland!”
How can one be the supporter “off” another?”
Off” used as a preposition, indicates moving away from something, like turning off a light; or leading a direction away from the main route or intersection.
Used as a verb it means away from the place in question, to or distance; “we ran off.”
Off used as an adjective: it is characterized by performing or feeling worst than usual; we can say unsatisfactory, or inadequate.
Who is obsessed with Roosevelt?
Only people like you and…
@Toto, You try telling those same words to the Americans and see how small thinking they are you would be surprised to know.
@Francisco, Shut your dam mouth you don’t know anything about Lady Patricia Scotland, there is nothing ironic about her she is no convicted criminal anymore than Lennox Linton, is she didn’t employed anybody it was her staff who did the illegal employment not her. For your information Mr ahole if she did she could not work alongside Her majesty the Queen or in any high office such as today
Commonwealth Secretary- General, on like Dominica so-called Workers clowns party has so many criminals on board this could never have happened in the UK sucker.
Well then if it was her staff who hired the illegal immigrant to work in her house, how come it was her corrupted crooked behind who was dragged into court like a common criminal she is and was subject to a fine.
Dog, I will bet you anything that Patrica never heard of you, don’t know you, yet you claim to be one “off” her supporters.
I must ask you how can a person be a supporter “off” another?
Each time you try to insult me you simply exposed how uneducated …….. you are!
One very good thing both Lennox Linton and I may not be masters of the English language; nevertheless, both of us can wipe our feet in both you and Roosevelt Skerrit face; chew you up using the English language, and spew you out of our mouth, into a toilet, and flush you down the toilet to be mingled with all the waste substance in the sewer where you belong!
You are decaying feces!
Hahahahahahahahahahahaha!
@Francisco, If you and Linton so smart how comes both of you and the so-called workers clowns cannot win against superior Skerrit and his administrations, you old sucker without Google you are an absolute ahole.
Well, Mr. Dog boy, if Lennox and I were corrupted, lying crooked thieves; perhaps we would know how to thief people money and use it to bribe people to vote for us; hence we would win election.
Fact is any and all thieves can win election in Dominica; nevertheless after the thieves, the crooked thief (s) win, the winner are the only one benefiting from the nation!
The master thief, the Dominica Ali Baba, lives off the blood of the people, like the vampire that bloody thief is; paid with the blood of those who are without jobs, depending on handouts, food and clothes sent to them from their families in America, Canada, and to some extent England.
Without the barrel industry out of America, you stave!
If a man wins every election in a country from now until eternity, and the country remains the poorest, the most backward place on the planet, what good are all his winnings?
Boy; Francisco is not sucking salt; ignorant Dominicans are sucking salt!
Telemaque, those are your words in your first comment above:
“The suspended money might be a way to cause “hear” to leave” Was that word not supposed to sell “h-e-r”? I got a red underline for that error, how come you didn’t get it?
Man, you could be on the Guinness Book of record for writing one word in place of the other. You never write “college” it is always “collage”; you never write “being” it is always “been”. You write “pasture” for “pastor”; you write “archers” for “acres”–it is too many to write here.
One time you wrote “wooing” for another word when I pointed it out to you, you told me that you did not even know what is “wooing”. But is a word alright, all in all, it means to “persuade”
You need to stop calling people uneducated; the ones who are uneducated, are they who are giving you the “thumbs up”. This means they are just like you.
@Elizabeth, Thank you ever so much I have been saying all along this Francisco, guy is a fake without Google he is dead in the water pretending to be what he is not, it is now 15to 20 years since he Francisco, been bashing Mr Skerrit, and family this is the worst part of it all that nasty super bug 🐛.
My errors are not because I am dunce; my errors are typing errors, some a common because I write without reading back or spell check!
If you are helping Man Dog, he never finish elementary, he spend the better part as a school age boy on the docks of the bay in Roseau, and sitting on the side of the street on Steber street.
He was a waft-rat before he went to England.
He returned a nobody, kissing Roosevelt butt!
As for you “dat thing der.”
Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahah!
You see what you get for bothering me?
Anyway, I know you finished elementary, but never seen inside of a secondary school, nor inside of a college one day in your hypocritical life!
How much has Roosevelt paid you to assassinate Lennox Linton Character?
I give you my permission to say anything you wish about my cousin, but I know you nor any of the red devils can call him a thief eh!
But the other boy?
…………………
I assume you live in the U.K. and if that is so you should know that Baroness Scotland employed that illegal alien at her home in London, which they tell me is in Chiswick if that means anything to you.That is a simple row house, although expensive enough and did not have any other servants. She also have a country home in a leafy part near Oxford and she achieved all that because the English Do not like black people? She has servants in her grace and favour home, Marlborough House but you are right, I am surprise she was elected to head the Commonwealth with a conviction like that. She is the wrong choice, no matter the colour of her skin. She has the same attitude as Skerrit and is just as rude. The Queen knows that and I remember Angelo Allen reading a letter from Buckingham Palace saying that and the Queen did not come to her reception the last time. The Queen knows that she told us to suck salt and I’m sorry but that is unforgivable for any person in her position.
Man Bites Dogs, woof , woof…mash, we have just got rid of your immature, unintelligent script. Shame!
And, I am talking about Black men and women; there are also people of all other ethnicity in the British parliament, so this racial conflict she is suggesting is nothing more than a fraud, the fraud as she proved to be.
Man Bites Dogs, wagging tail and tale stories: So You better ” Shut your dam dirt mouth as you don’t know anything about Lady Patricia Scotland, there is nothing ironic about her. She was placed in a prestigious, diplomatic position to represent us at that level and she has dishonoured her name and that of our nature Isle, Dominica. Skerrit must attempt to be decent in his thinking and thoughts before he recommends people to high position where they are not apt to hold these positions and this goes for failed Skerrit also. As she is likely to be out of the Commonwealth, we also need urgently Skerrit out of our government. They have both stained their Dominica…
@Francisco,
Sometimes we all make mistakes most of all spelling mistakes you said :She wonted instead of wanted
You said labor, the word is labour.
Boris wants here out and soon she will be,this lady is a total fraud,and Skerrit knows why he pushed for her in the position,damn shame all the corruption is coming back to hunt them.
So, it seems that there has been some inconsistencies based on your accounts as a result we’ll have to suspend funding till further investigations.
Oh My God!!..you’re doing this because i’m Black!!..SMFH!!..
Some Black people genuinely believe that their crookedness can be excused because of their color!!
Corruption has become too pervasive and widely accepted in Caribbean politics and that’s how we know that we won’t get far at all.
hmm suck salt o.o
When the likes of Boris Johnson and the prime ministers of of Australia and New Zealand trying to bring down a woman of color from such a high position as Secretary General of the commonwealth, one have to wonder what are the motives behind their campaign. Boris Johnson is currently presiding over a Tory right-wing Government that have been deporting black people from Britain by plane loads, especially from the Caribbean. For a person of color to enter Australia or New Zealand it is almost impossible, especially if they are seeking residence or citizenship in these predominantly white populated countries. Yet we have black people here who are willing to jump on the band waggon joining them in calling for the resignation of Mrs Scotland (a daughter of our soil). I wouldn’t expect anything less from the likes of Wiltshire and Thompson Fontaine since they are UWP operatives and would poo-poo anything that Roosevelt Skerrit backs but the rest of us should be a bit more savvy.
Foolish red ant!
@Cordodas, You would not know what Eagle-eyed is talking about because your little bird brains isn’t fully functioning yet am I right? When people like you follows a mountain goat for a so-called party leader what does one expect from people like you!!! 🙊 🤣
For your info, RED ….., I don’t follow anybody most certainly not somebody that steals election and revenue from its own country! That the likes of you, DOG and EAGLE, follow a man like that and defend him on every occasion, speaks volumes. You all claim to love your country but all you guys love is corruption and the money and privileges you guys get out of the supporting the master of all corruption. The day will come when all you ‘patriots’ will pay the ultimate price for being sooo patriotic!
Man Bites Dogs, when are you going to understand that the vast majority of people do not take in what you say, it makes no sense and lack intellectual focus. Woof woof
Look at the rating yo got, Yes 2 – No 19.
So you woof woof clown barking rubbish, get the bigger picture. You are going nowhere but stuck on Skerrits failed vehicle.
Try again, the more you write BS, the more you exposed yourself.
oh please she is damn corrupt and Skerrit also,shut the hell up.
Dominican critics, no one else. I am still waitingfor the news to flash up in the UK and others.
If Scotland misbehave how comes is Skeritt that is getting the blows.
She did wrong and the woke of UK wanted her to get the job.
Anything to blame the man,blame her Skerrit did not give her the job nor did he give her the position.
Now this is my opinion i live in a democrayic vountry and people have a tight to vent their beliefs.
It was Skerrit that nominated Baroness Scotland as his candidate for this position in July of 215 against the wishes of the other heads of Caricom and the result is the mess we are in. I don’t know why he did that. Maybe he is smarter than all the others? What I do know is that he got a knighthood in some order that has no recognition of the English court. Abig medal he got that is worthless. As for racial discrimination why would England appoint her their Attorney General if they are against black people? No, she blot her own copy book and badly so on more than one occasion.
PS. SKerritt also appointed her our coordinator for donations from international partners after Maria. How much did she collect and were is the money. She also promise to rebuild the library and that lovely old building next to DBS. We have not heard anything since let alone any activity.
@Pipo, you said that: “It was Skerrit that nominated Baroness Scotland as his candidate for this position in July of 2015 against the wishes of the other heads of Caricom”—-
PM Skerrit is only one man; the Baroness was his candidate, just as “Ron Sanders” was the candidate of the Prime Minister of Antigua.
What is the thing about him going against the rest of Caricom; why did he need their consent to make a choice? This is a foolish statement in my opinion.
Each of those Prime Ministers had the right to choose their favorite person, did they not? So since the Baroness was the victor, how did she receive it? Who were the final voters?
Why is PM Skerrit being blamed for making a choice that was accepted by the majority–whoever they were? That was where the victory came from–from the majority– wasn’t it? Come on now, you people!
Was her nomination a return favour for the honorary doctorate from the lovely university and award from the church in Roseau? She saw Skeritt as the weak link to the elite position and she exploited. You represent Dominica and in same breath sending 40 % of population to suck salt. This lady is a self serving psycopath just like skerrit and will do everything for power even if it means dividing the institution. Playing the race card. This lady makes me want to puke. Dispicable!!
@Shaka zulu, your comment sounds very childish!
“This lady is a self serving psycopath just like skerrit and will do everything for power even if it means dividing the institution”.
This statement is full of errors but I not correcting them because it makes no sense whatsoever. If you think that she has so much power, why waste your time to speak against her practices–she will have her way, anyway!
You, people need to stop the habit of expressing hate towards others, less that hatred return to you all–would you like to know that people will puke because of your attitude? If not, then why think of another person that way?
Lady Scotland stand tall. Leave the haters to God. Put him first in all you do and he will vindicate u once you are true. God knows, sees and hears everything. Stay under his covering , do not fret, for in this perilous times, all those trials will come through but just stay within the alcove of the Lord Jesus Christ. He will be with you through each step of the way. Leave the conspiraters to Jesus. He never leaves nor forsake but he knows them and all our hearts. He knows the truth. Do not be distracted but keep your eyes on Jesus and on your task. Girl Go Go just keep Christ in your inner circle.
LET MY POST ROLL! please for I am strong, happy and fulfilled only in the Lord Almighty!
Your name should be Pravda!
Francisco,if you and Linton are so smart how is it that he went to the PRIVY COUNCIL in ENGLAND,and did not know the difference between MAY HAVE and MUST HAVE?How come he did not know what a CARRICULUM VITAE IS?How come he did not know chapter 66(4)a page 64 say he is no longer LEADER OF OPPOSITION.How come he did not know he was going to LOSE THE ELECTION.Both of you are overeducated.Both of you are CLONES OF A BABOON
@The Truth Be Told, at this point, your thumbs rating is 3-17, number 3 is mine.
It is with deep concern that I express my thoughts about these people comment on certain articles; my perception of the hatred, they nurture in their minds against other people, is downright deplorable.
I have read no more than 3 or 4 good comments here, with the rest of the 26 commentators leaving such high negative thumbs below those comments. My God! Where are You in the minds of fellow Dominicans?
The Baroness, PM Skerrit, and all of us have dirty laundry in our laundry bin, I am sure that most of us have dirtier laundry than they do.
It is not our place to judge no one, God is the only and final judge. A person can do 99 good things, but we will judge him/her for the one bad thing which he/she did! What gives you all the right to do so?
Go ahead! Continue to blame the Prime Minister of Dominica for all the wrong reasons–God is watching and hearing!

“Lady Scotland stand tall. Leave the haters to God. Put him first in all you do and he will vindicate u once you are true. God knows, sees and hears everything.”
The Bible makes reference to any issues and also we have out of the ten Commandments that: “Thou shall not Steal” etc.
NO excuses for Scotland and even none for Skerrit. Their disrespected behaviours have diminished what the international community thinks of us. They have both failed, faked and stained our nature Isle and our people. There are no excuses, just that “Birds of a feather flock together”.
You blind loyalists of Skerrit, the more you write nonsense of Skerrit the deeper he goes into the abys of having a poor reputation. Giving out states resources to our people is a disguise to earn fame and popularity, but the civil service know well of Skerrits incompetence and failures. Skerrit is not a leader and is not Prime Minister material. The poor state of our island is evidence of his…
Somehow I am delighted with the claws of Dr. Skeritt not only embarrassing Dominicans but also our Caribbean nations. It must be remembered that it was less than 3 months ago when the OAS, the Commonwealth secretariat and the Caricom observer mission conveniently close their eyes to the inconsistencies that were taking place under their noses and reported to the world that the Dominica’s election was apparently free and fair.
It is now becoming increasingly obvious; Dr. Skeritt’s choices does not appear to be related to the individual’s competence.
All the appointees + Diplomats which he has supported who came to international notoriety did so because of their association with the misappropriation of money. As the chickens come home to roost, we must remember that nature warned us through the Weather, Al Jazeera provided us with photographic evidence but yet we did not heed; so now we waddle in the mud which has been brought to us in the Caribbean, the race card will not save…
Way papa Thompson avec Whilshire all you only like all you self. Who is buldozing their way to be in control in Dominica?? I leave U all 2 answer that. Now with the century of fake news, make up stories, lies, slander ,making video yes modern times of cut & paste, hatred, jealousy, without empathy, selfish, anything can be said about others. For me self , I do not believe anything until I have concrete evidence & proof. 4 now I see discrimination against a woman, Racist discrimination, & black persons who does not want to see their own rise. I will tell you all one thing, that God is in control. He knows, sees, hears everything infact he knows the truth. I see Baroness Scotland the same way persons treated the Honourable Roosevelt Skerrit. So please let my comment roll because once I cannot prove, I cannot say is true. TRUTH always prevail. Time will tell, truth will come to light. Lastly I stand behind my sister from DA. If she falters, it will show. Let the vote roll.
The adage, don’t bite the hand that feeds you comes to mind but it is also accompanied by the fact that the wheels of Justice grinds slowly but exceedingly fine! Dominicans take note; after we supported her in that position in one of her first public utterances to us she bluntly stated her wishes for us all that we should suck salt, a clear demonstration of her INGRATITUDE.
Now she finds herself in $hit, she returns to the people who she chose to divorce once things appeared to be going well for her. Unfortunately you have displayed your mettle as an ungrateful, incompetent individual; possibly a member of the band of so called “Hungry Hyenas”, we are delighted to return the favour to you and loudly declare from the roof tops, what goes around comes around, so its your turn to SOUSAY SEL (suck salt). Another of Dr Skeritts supported appointees who has disgraced D/CA and the Caribbean. So the Doctors influence is now felt across the Caribbean, embarrassingly so!
the race cord wont hold up. Not when people of your own color want you out my dear. Should pack a pound of salt with your undies when you are leaving my dear Baroness?
Everything bad comes from Skerrit. In other words if something is bad or corrupt know Roosevelt Skerrit is in the center of it. You will NEVER hear the name of Roosevelt Skerrit associated with anything good, just as Jesus described Satan.
Racism does exist, but it is very convenient when incompetent and corrupt people of color are called to account and the first buoy they can latch on to is the cry of racism.
A black cow gives white milk. Black or white everyone is born with 49 ounces of brains is how you develop them. As a Dominican they live other people life and not their own. give me ,I get, I TAKE. If some one put you in a position, its up to you to prove yourself. The PM goes between swords and bullets, negotiating with other countries to build Dominica and giving the people a better living standards. When he returned he met invoices on his desks with no book keeping and accounts, most of the time he pays from his own pockets. He is taking steps to put this into place. Give him three more months. In the case of Wiltshire, he is under house arrest from the Police.Fontain is wanted for riot act on February 7,
You full of crap. When PM returns he meets invoice without book keeping and sometimes pays out of his own pocket. Both scenarios a wrong and unacceptable. First he should never reconcile any payments without book keeping and secondly payment of state matters should not come from any individual pocket for payment. Both actions are fraudulent in nature. How then does he vets reimbursed? Who approves? And who pays him back. If what you say is true then you are admitting to the corrupted practice going on and he should not be holding position he is in.
You Eifile, Let us put things in perspective that`s representing the failure & incompetence of your failed immature Skerrit, who has reduced our people to beggars through the Red Cininc. Have you been there? Lets take this BS in steps.
1.”The PM goes between swords and bullets, negotiating with other countries to build Dominica;”
Response. BS, we have been hearing this sing alone over 20 years now.
2. And giving the people a better living standards.
Response: That’s a lie statement, please clear this lie for us. Come clean.
3. When he (Skerrit) returned he met invoices on his desks with no book keeping and accounts.
Response: Is this for real and why? What happen to our state money, who voleur it?
4.Most of the time he (Skerrit) pays from his own pockets.
Response: This is a lie and hypocritical. “Money in pocket for over 100 beggars?”
5. He is taking steps to put this into place. Give him three more months. Response: Three more month? NO!, Is this a pregnancy to us…
