Prime Minister Roosevelt Skerrit has called on his party supporters to embrace the new candidates.
He was speaking during the party’s Delegates Conference held in Londonderry on Sunday.
Skerrit announced a new slate of candidates that he describes as the ‘new look’ Labour.
“We have presented to you this evening the fresh faces of change in Dominican politics,” he said. “The other side has little that is fresh and has made no meaningful change.”
He continued, “I appeal to the family of Labour this evening to embrace this fresh group of patriots.”
Describing the new candidates as success stories, Skerrit remarked, “None of them is looking for a job. None of them is seeking economic opportunity.”
He said none of the new comers can be regarded as failures, adding, “These are young, bright Dominicans in whom all can be pleased.”
He also urged the ‘family of Labour’ to unite around this group, “embrace those who are returning to add experience to their slate.”
Among the new comers is Prime Minister Skerrit’s wife, Melissa, whose potential candidacy in the Roseau Central Constituency was the subject of much speculation over the past several weeks. Now her place in the race has been confirmed at the expense of Roseau Central incumbent, Joseph Isaac and hopeful, Robbie Tonge. Isaac has been transferred to Roseau North and Tonge is out.
The other new candidates are Dr Adonis King – St. Joseph, Edward Registe – Grand Bay, Marva Williams – Petite Savanne, Anika Charles – Marigot, Kent Edwards – La Plaine, Cozier Frederick – Carib Territory, Chekira Lockhart – Roseau South, Dr. Irving McIntyre – Roseau Valley, Greta Roberts- Riviere Cyrique, Octavia Alfred – Castle Bruce, Fidel Grant – Wesley.
Skerrit called on supporters to thank and congratulate those who are stepping aside as parliamentary representatives and who shall remain in the service of the people of Dominica in one form or the other.
“This is a glorious day in the history of politics in Dominica,” he stated. “This is a red letter day for the Dominica Labour Party (DLP).”
Firstly, this number of new candidates means that elections are a few months away at minimum as the dust must settle. A few more changes could happen.
Will the 80% of Dominicans who would like a political change feel that this is sufficient or the right change. If the calypso “praise God for Skerritt” has encapsulated the Dominican sentiment.. it means that all the good AND all the bad is Skerritt….alone.
No one can really blame the outgoing candidates as they will most likely not remember them doing anything more than sharing money for the big man.
It will be an interesting election.
My only question is do people view LL as their next pm….. and that my friends is where the cookie may crumble
Who is going to follow L. L. (La Lie; Low Level) The 20 % minority uwp want an educated leader not some one who insulted teachers , fought multiple times in school AND WAS EXPELLED. Who wants a man who shamelessly and bold facely crashed a Heads of Government CARICOM Conference. I wonder which is the biggest sin, this crashing or the blasting of Dominica on CNN. There are other examples of misbehavior but later for that.
When LL becomes PM you are the first one to come and worship him. It’s the likes of you that always support the ones in power because you have no character or principals. People like you are conformists and a waste of space to any society!!
No way.
nou pa lay bonnie

ADMIN: Your comment reminds us of this quote: “We only see what we want to see; we only hear what we want to hear. Our belief system is just like a mirror that only shows us what we believe.”
Don Miguel Ruiz
“We only see what we want to see; we only hear what we want to hear. Our belief system is just like a mirror that only shows us what we believe.”, Great quote, a quote that I often apply to the media. Assume not that everyone in society understands the science of every aspect of life and the media throughout the decades have capitalized of that fact. The media plays a big role in seeing what we want to see, hearing what we want to hear and is a mirror that manifests perpetuates what we believe. And I say the same to you admin, that you live by this very well. I often look at how you structure your articles and the phrasing of certain stories. The specific quotes of whoever the story is covering that you choose to put in the story. A story that you would rerun under different headings in intervals, the types of stories you post. Hey, media outlets do what they do for their own purpose but I am just saying that yours is apparent.
Very smart move on the part of Lennox Linton and the UWP :
‘Never interrupt your enemy when he is making a mistake!’
“Skerrit urges DLP supporters to embrace ‘new look’ candidates”. Dominicans, please be aware, that there is nothing new to expect from failed Skerrit but continued disaster and deterioration of our economy and our beloved island paradise. Skerrit is a dangerous PM in office with no hint, let alone the qualification to be a Prime Minister (Odd Minister) of any island, let alone to be chair of a village council. This man has demonstrated openly his weakness and lack of Knowledge and decorum to be head of a country much less to be Chairman of a Village Council let alone chair of a Board. Look at where we are in Domininca, under-developed, poor dilapidated roads, no production of produce and agricultural products. All that has been killed and pushed aside to travel the world to meet ugly nefarious people selling our diplomatic passports to them and other funny looking people who travel to Canada with our passport, now the Canadians had enough and impose visa restrictions on us. Skerrit…
Yes Skerrit, we have already embraced Anicka Charles. Anybody else in particular you want us to ‘embrace’. Skerrit, you are a disgrace to yourself and this beautiful country of ours. For once do the honourable thing and call it a day. You done untold damage to our country.
@ Paul Rossnof, Who the hell you think you are calling Mr Skerrit, a disgrace for a start you are a loser working for Workers criminals clowns 🤡 you are a Fake not Dominican l am asking you to keep out of our country and business it does not concern you.
But Roosevelt, they are YOUR candidates chosen to do YOUR bidding, not even your party candidates, less so the people choice in the constituency. You will come to regret that because people do not want candidates impose on them so and they will let you know in the election. You too imperious man!
Very smart move Skerro…
Picking nine women in your camp..
To control their braino…
Is the DLP slogan still “all shall eat” or rather “some shall eat all” every one who contested the general elections is now employed at the expense of the public purse; so yes double Dr PhD none of your candidates are or will be unemployed; no guarantee for the young people especially those graduating from the State college and worse yet if you are not a supporter of your wicked regime. Yes DLP supporters more jobs for the boys Ops!!! Girls plenty of them.
I will not embrace Melissa because she is not qualified to represent me . There are many other people that we choose. I hope Bernard and them will stand against that nonesense .
I hope she will answer the questions and scrutiny when the pressure start coming .
I want to hear from Peter St. Jean because last election you brought us to Dominica to vote, so I would like to know if you are still supporting DLP in the next elcetion. You were dumped like old clothes along the roadside so I implore you to let us kniow where you stand. Grow a pair !
The U.S is loking at this new dictatorship that is forming in Dominica . The pressure will be applied in due time .

Doing the same thing over and over agin and execting different results! That is madness i say. Dominicans you now have the chance to see if we are sane or insane.
FYI , Skerro has been doing the same thing over and over again. He will not chnage.
HELL NO, my partner not there again i done with labour party.
So Skerrit doesn’t respect the constitution of the DLP? Shouldn’t each of these new candidates have been selected and voted in by the constituency delegates? And wasn’t this supposed to be a delegates conference? Wasn’t he supposed to have been voted back in as leader, even if he had gone in unopposed? Who is the DLP party executive?
So many questions, but to point to the obvious- Skerrit is the Dictator of the DLP. It’s not his personal party or property. Vote this guy back in, along with his wife then now he will boldface act like Dominica is his backyard.
I knew when I was a Labourites,that the party had a constitution, and it stated in a pellucidly clear manner, the procedure for electing candidates …..One thing is certain,the leader of the party was not the one doing so ..But like Maduro, Skerrit does not believe in constitution.Thst was far from a delegates conference..It was confusion!!
Skerrit Must Go
Skerrit Must Go
LAZY Skerrit Must Go Now
Yet more evidence of the mans dictatorial tendencies. But I guess most DLP members are happy to overlook that in exchange for a very small piece of the big cake.
DLP Definition …where delegates is where delegate sit. present on the chairs were all delegates, and absent on the many chairs were also delegates.
Look the “new look” start to get disfigured already
Stay tuned y’all…….
Skerrit must Go. He is waste of time. He has been a failure for the past 18 years. He and his failed waste of a time 18 ministers is ony sucking states money. Go look around Dominica and tell us where the development is or has taken place. Skerrit must Go, he has failed Dominica, has been incompetent, knows nothing of socio-economic development. Skerrit must Go.
So PM you really think that Dominicans are dumb therefore believe that big fat lie about the candidates being financially solid n are not looking for a job. First of alll, they must have come from millionaire families ,which is highly impossible. You need to let your supporters how much you paid each candidate and was it in cash only. Its very strange that people who couldn’t buy a good pair of shoes nor eat a good meal at the city restaurants are now super rich within your organization. They all drive expensive cars , own houses, businesses and so forth. Honestly, not one of those so called candidates deserve to run. As for you, Ian , blackmore n mr Reggie you alll are injury prone in the election race. Mr Skerritt, you can’t campaign in 21 constituencies. You call those new red shirt folks competent yet they can’t even speak properly….. and your madam, how could Dominicans sit there n allow her to even run for a seat… Mr Skeritt you making history alll da time,..
After pondering on all this, i have a few questions and maybe there are lawyers out there who can answer. Or DNO can do a piece to educate the public. Is the political party structure defined in the constitution? What rules govern how a party biology is set up? Example: i knew party delegates pick representatives for constituency. If that is in constitution it may have been to ensure a democratic process. If the way we select candidates are outline by the constitution i dont remember when it was changed in parliament to allow the PM to hand pick who he wants. If the rules of how representatives are selected are outlined in the constitution i think we may have a breach of law and an assult on democracy and the constitution. If however the rules for party representation depends on individual party rules then its perfectly fine but a problem and needs to be abolished because it is not a Democratic process. I would like to see a legal response. Admin can you guys share any light?
I am labor and I have accepted defeat of DLP in next elcetion. Skerroo has deflected from the main brannch therefore I cannot support these guys anymore.
The ignorance and fatal attraction to the supremo who see the entire reconstruction of a team in 2015 by the labour party as a positive is beyond understanding ..
Why such massive changes… is that a lack of leadership?
Did the Party President ..minister of education of la plaine fail skerritt or skerritt usurped and took his oxygen in his constituency as he did with all the constituencies..playing PAPA ,instead of Leader of a party …the man wanted to behave like a dictator or US president over all constituencies…..ego Tripping as a supremo ….we need to hear from the real doctors Darroux and Darroux etc..Skerritt who barely has a first degree seem hell bent on being a doctor as well without working his way through universities like the Real Doctors in his cabinet…showing no respect for honest real work in academia….
Fools and jokers even genuine scholars subjected to hail Pharoah .
How sick did our nation get when academics joined the circus
Q
Skerrit, you are a failure. Your corrupt Labour Government has failed us. Please “recall you nice saying which is alive and kicking to this day: “Go to Hell, Go to Hell, Go to Hell, it is none our Damn Business”. Get lost, leave our Dominica alone, yo have ruined this Dominica too much already. pack your corrupt rotten bags, get hold of that woman Melissa and Go to Hell, Go away, none of our Damn Business. e need to take back our nature isle of Dominica. …and we can develop this blessed island without you and so called political wife. Go away, all both of you just Go, Mind you Funky Business and Leave us alone.
Good bye Skerrit and Melissa and the 19 worthless, hopeless incompetent Labour government. Get Lost
That dude is definitely off his rocker. He learned a little bit too much from his buddies Hugo and MADuro.
The IPO should be pretty busy. Lets make sure they do thier darn jobs. Lets check all the assests of ministers leaving office and the ones coming in. Check thier bank accounts especially Joesep Issac.
“None of them is looking for a job. None of them is seeking economic opportunity,” he remarked. He said none of the new comers can be regarded as failures”.
As an employer I will never hire someone that is not looking for a job because if he/ she is not looking for a job there is no way they will want to work to ensure the business grows. I rather someone that is looking for a work because they will understand that in other to keep their job they will have to help develop the business and in that case Dominica. Another thing is, if they are not looking for a work how in the world world will they care to work? Well Skerrit is on record saying “Dominicans don’t want to work”. So he must have been forced to hire people that must have told him they don’t want to work.
If they don’t want to work they must be there for economic opportunities. So Skerrit, how much did you pay them to run? What’s the package?
Skerrit are you implying that those 13 you rejected are FAILURES?
Skerrit know what he saying?? Apparently he didn’t vett the young blood from Marigot. I just wish to point out that this is the type of disregard and carelessness with which Skerrit has ruled for the last nearly 15 years. No wonder all of those dodgy diplomats were caught with Dominican passports or that Ross has decided to abandon millions of dollars investments in infrastructure after 40 years and painstakingly moved to a more expensive country..
Skerrit can only fool those people who don’t take even 5 seconds to think critically of the mess he has made of Dominica over the years. But this may be the opportunity that Dominicans have been waiting for, to be finally so dreadfully disregarded and disgraced, to become upset and react by voting that corrupt DLP out…
Just make sure that they have foreign bank accounts to deposit all the CASH received from other countries instead of into the treasury. Follow the example.
Skerrit is a corrupt Scharlatan who is making fun of the people of Dominica. How can can a PM present his wife as a candidate for election. She has no qualifications and she is a US citizen who hardly spends any time in Dominica. We need to wake up otherwise that man introduces his children for election next time round. It’s unbelievable the front of this little teacher from the north
Neville are you sure of what you are saying? Hear you “She has no qualifications and she is a US citizen who hardly spends any time in Dominica.” All I can say you are pathetic! Prove that she hardly spends any time in Dominica. Yes I ask you to prove it!
Stop saying what you want to hear!
No point even attempting to prove anything to the likes of you. If one chooses to keep his head in the sand for years on end… or perhaps you are a member of the inner circle in which case it’s clear why you would attempt to defend the indefensible on an ongoing basis!
What are her qualifications? Anywhere else in the Caribbean she will be uniquely unqualified to run for political office. The lady is a high end tourist, her academic achievements are unknown, she cannot relate to the sufferings and life of the commoner as she lives in opulence. It appears that Skerrit wants to create a dynasty. I’m very sure that manyDominicans, even some DLP supporters are still flabbergasted by this selection. For one man to try to force his will on an entire population exposes his supreme arrogance.
In the fresh look labour we have 4 public officers on that sheet. I wonder if they have resigned or retired from their jobs. As public officers they cannot even take part in political activities based on the Act. Secondly, public officers cannot hold public office, therefore declaring them is also against the law. But I guess not law no constitution cannot prevent our prime minister from dong anything. So my suggestion would be for the Head of State, HE the President to step in and give some advise (he is also very knowledgeable of the Public Service Rules and regulations. The head of the public service, steve ferrol and the chief presonnel officer should also caution public officers,and finally the chairman of the commission and the Public and Teachers Unions should step in.
“None of them is looking for a job. None of them is seeking economic opportunity,” he remarked. He said none of the new comers can be regarded as failures.
In the first place Mr. English major, “none of them is looking for a job!
“Them” means you are talking in plural, therefore I think you should have said none of them are looking for job.
Now your idea that all are successful, none are failures; that depends on how we measure success. One can be successful educationally, have a job getting a small pay cheque living from pay cheque to pay cheque; however, that could not be considered successful!
Take for instance the Wesley contender, he is an accountant by profession, he is the accountant as far as I was told for your failed geothermal so called electrical generating plant. Now I am not piking at this guy; for obvious reasons, nevertheless one cannot overwhelmingly count him being an accountant successful.
He has a job in Government; that’s it!
The arroagance of cult leadership has been evident for some time …now more than ever….this was a monster of massive egotism …created by the people…..this always pride before the fall ….however the massive abuse of power …was as a result of sycophant electorate ..each one begging at the table of the anointed king ….lawyers accepting their colleagues being ill treated ….courts used as a playing field of abuse and contempt for free speech …magistrates and judges plimng ti the time ….all hoping for favors ..The supremo acting as Pharoah refusing to allow his parliament reps to act as representatives…having th heir constituents to come to him the king for favors at his red clinic…the fall of 15
..reps in this 5 year cycle is a vote of no confidence in his team for upcoming elections and a vote of zero confidence in his own government .
Who is to blame? …the gullible mendicants ..sycophants ….and boom flies
..lawyers and big business in search of favors…
Anytime an incumbent party is losing its grip on power they cling to the word “NEW” in a desperately effort to engage in mind bending. No matter how hard the Spin Doctor tries to put a positive twist to his party’ political woes, any body, with even a modicum of common sense, knows the DLP is in HUGE TROUBLE. Dictatorial rule doesn’t usually end well. The electorate should resoundingly reject Skerrit and his many neophytes at the upcoming election for his nineteen years to abject failure. ( Poverty, Joblessness, Starvation Wages, Rampant Corruption, Crumpling Bridges, Impassable Roads, Pedestrian Economy, Recalcitrant Speaker, Malleable Electoral Commissioner, Dysfuntional Public Service, Corrupt Electoral System, Intractable Division in Society, Self Absorbed Ministers, International Scandals). These just a tip of the iceberg.
So then guys and pompous sounding advisers,
-Get on the ball.
-Give us your slate of impeccably clean candidates.
-Decide what the name of your party is – Team Dominica or UWP.
-Decide whether we can expect you to stand on principle, so that when someone is charged with sexual misconduct with a minor and you throw him out on the pretext of caring for the minors he will not be reabsorbed with an even greater public profile.
-Decide if Anika Charles is tainted by association with her husband, whether you are not tainted by appearing brazenly in public alongside an alleged wife abuser obviously defending his alleged behaviour.
-while you are at it, tell us how you plan to govern the country, complete with sources of revenue and development plans for the sectors which will be better than what exists.
– Give us a firm position not the flip-flopping, on Dominicans living overseas.
-Reassure us that your action/inaction after Maria is not what is expected if you win.
I vote.
Are you Skerrits new election manager and mouth piece now? I pity you and your ignorance!
Barbara, your love and trust for an incurable liar is misplaced. To defend the indefensible makes you look like you are mentally unsound. Barbs, it’s time the country be given a chance to collectively breathe again. Skerrit’s misguided policies have been suffocating the masses for much too long. Change is in sight. There is finally light at the end of the tunnel. The wheels of the DLP train are falling off. I heard Martin Luther Jr. words ringing melodiously in my ears – Free at last, free at last, thank God, we are free at last!
A good team eager beavers. Opposition forces wanted a change so we gave them 13. The following names are the delegates for the next election when DLP will win 21 seats and opposition forces will all lose their deposit (100 % )
Roosevelt Skeritt, Reggie Austrie, Ian Douglas, Catherine Daniel, Raymond Blackmore, Denise Charles, Nicolls Esprit, Roslyn Paul, Joseph Issac, ,Edward Registe, Greta Roberts, Anika Charles, Cozia Frederick, Octavia Alfred, Kent Edwards, Marva Williams, Chikira Lockhart Hypolite, Adis King, Irvin Mcintyre , Melissa Skeritt and Fidel Grant..
Ready to win again 21…..0
Nobody takes you serious anyway…
Damn right, no one takes you silly clowns seriously. You clowns have abused and denigrated our nature isle Domininca to ground Zero and now we hear Skerrit bring in the family home lady in the kitchen to clean up the mess and cook (metaphorically) speaking stale food that we Dominicans have rejected. We are fedup with Skerrit in the kitchen. He can`t cook, cant present a good meal, let alone for desserts he must pick up within the Bobol baskets that he offers handouts to the poor and crying t appease them to say “We love our Skerrit”. That reminds of Judas who kissed Jesus after he betrayed us. We now the political Judas doing the same thing to buy us after we have been ignored, with no jobs, no cash, struggling mothers and families and now this clown Skerrit is bring in another family waste of them immature to do our hair in a style that our Dominica would not go for. So Skerrit, Melissa , go away, Get lost, Go to USA. Skerrit must Go. SkerritGet Lost. Children nice in USA
But look Marigot is the first to resign- is it now 20…0?
Yes for true a team of eager beavers. Or perhaps a team of crocks…?
Damn Right, no one takes note of this blind clown of Skerrit. Your views are ill advised and be reminded that Skerrit Must Go. Skerrit will Go. Skerrit has to get lost and get out of our Domininca states business. Leadership has failed within this Corrupt Labour government. No wonder the leader has failed. His political acolytes in Cabinet has also failed as they are fearful to address Skerrit of his failure and high incompetence.
Dominica is a failed state with a highly corrupt, incompetent, political and developmentally incompetent, immature 18 ministers. Skerrit must go, he has ruined our nature isle enough. Too many blind people follows this political incompetent PM clown who serves, unfortunately as Prime (Odd) Minister.
Skerrit must Go. Get Lost. Get Out…Go away. You have a big failure and you should take your failed 19 useless ministers with you and go repent for the damage you all have done to our people and to our Dominica. Skerit Go and do not come back. Shame on you -…
….But who on earth Joseph John? What is his substance….what he got of decency and intellectual to say to us? I guess he hangs about too much with Skerrit and his failed Comical corrupt Labour on the way out government. Joseph, join the team to clean up Domininca, it has been stained, corrupted, dirty for too long under this so called Skerrit pappyshow. Skerrit must go, Get lost, Go away. We do not need you . You have failed us. You have economically and socially killed our people and Dominica. Go Skerrit, Go. Get lost. You are a waste of time.
Wow 51 “dislike” about some one that is not “taken ” seriously and so many negatives. Because I once made a joke about my imagined political candidacy. Because you cant find any dirt on me you revert to name calling. Gather more names because at election time I will be campaigning for the DLP. I will be taking my cue from your dirty politics. I am learning with bullies like you all, one has to fight fire with fire. I have learnt that when you stand up to bullies and fight back they lose their will to attack , because in real life they are really weak cowards who like to pic on women and children.
Just see how they picked on the Speaker, Mammie ,Mis Charles ( Marigot ) and the PM’s kids. …………………………………….. …………. So we will be talking. On the day our awesome PM, the visionary, declares election day…all hell will break loose on you opposition gangbangers. No hold bars. You all will regret what you all now started.
Skerrit announced a new slate of candidates that he describes as the ‘new look’ Labour. It has been Neo DLP since 2004 after Pierro & Rosie passed even after the no choice union with the gang of 5 DFPites .
Now Neo _DLP has once again morphed into a 9 female inclusion a stunt that might be having lots of females fooled and filled too( laughter I can assume!)
When I look at it I have to remark that the inclusion of the ladies is identical to the shell companies that that peeps like sr Counsels are opening up in the middle east etc.
are these candidates or shells. Where is Lennox Honeyman to comment about the new candidates. In 1995 he assumed the candidate who would maybe Cuban trained individuals. why hasn’t he comment on the shell ladies and gentle men. Gentle to the point of easy manipulation by Kaka doc
9 ladies…this I a record, a world wide untouchable record. We are sending a message on the equal gender issue. 9 ladies marching in the Red line in the sand. Congratulations ! May the forces of success be with you all. This is really a Red Letter Day in the history of Dominica. The Dr Dr Rt Hon Prime Minister Roosevelt Skerrit is leading in the right direction. Good job, Sir.
Joseph John, be advised that: “The Ductored Wrong Dishonourable Odd Minister Skerrit is leading the worse and most corrupt government to the wrong direction.” That is where we stand with this failed Skerrit. To be on radio talking a lie like a liked man is “Fake news”. That Tramp, Trump would be advised to guide failed Skerrit.
Skerrit is not a role model and in no position to give anyone advice on decency in politics and decency in public. Skerrit be advised and remember: “Go to Hell, Go to Hell, None of our Damn Business. You failure has been “Damning” and “Disgusting. You are the beacon of corruption, failure and nepotism in our Dominica. So Skerrit we are focus and we want you out of our Public Service. We need to go. Your corrupt party language has been disgusting and nuisance and go listen to your Austrie where he says about “Cow meat” to a UWP female candidate. This is how low where you Skerrit are with your corrupt party. Hon Linton , Dr. Fontane will stand tall…
Good job in what,desperation,Skerrit is a scamp,and is very desperate to hold on to power,which he will not,proud of the women but he needs to go.
It’ s quality that counts not quantity. I will take quality over quantity every time. One candidate has had to withdraw because of too may skeletons in the her closet. There must have been some element of truth to the rumors for such an immediate withdrawal. I now believe that the ‘Supreme One’ ordered her to withdraw due to the statement that was proffered. Again, Character counts.
This is part of a long list of achievements: a university graduate, a teacher ,a cabinet minister in his 20’s a Prime Minister in his 30’s . World youngest Prime Minister. An international leader in the globalization of Climate Change, Environment Protection, Climate Resilience, and Making Dominica the fist Climate Resilience Country in the world. He was recognized by two different Universities with honorary Doctorates, an other world record. He is a family man. He won 3 consecutive elections and will be winning a fourth, a 20 year record. When CREED implements his Climate policy he will be nominated for the Nobel Peace Price. Ladies , gentlemen and non -gentle others, we present the very first international role model….. Dr Dr the Rt Hon Roosevelt Skerrit , the longest reigning Prime Minister of the Commonwealth of Dominica…. Hip HIp Hip.
Laughter the best are you a woman hater? Lots of female fooled? Females are more capable than you . We are not shells and you are downright and disrespectful to women on a whole. You are so rude you even calling people by names. See how you call the Historian! You seem to be a hateful, jealous individual who also see a woman as someone to use to produce babies. Laughter do you have a mother? Or perhaps you just floated in. Let me know and please love others and be respectful.
Pure desperation. When you change over half of your candidates, you are sensing an imminent and irreversible defeat. This is confirmation of 18 years of incompetent and inept leadership. The pillars of dissent in your cabal are being manifested as a result of your drastic move.
Given that the only thing skerrit could say about his wife is how many things she give people and school feeding – thats her accomplishments…I hope all the beneficiaries realise that all the time they were thing she cared is build she was building her platform.
I would be good at setting up a school feeding program to occasionally give children at the local “upper class” school if I had access to other people passport money. I would also be excellent at dressing up and going around give little care packets, school bags and baby toiletries, providing that i was using other people money.
Pitty, with two bachelors and 1 master’s i won’t ever lower myself to prey on innocent people.
“None of them is looking for a job. None of them is seeking economic opportunity,” he remarked. He said none of the new comers can be regarded as failures.” – PM SKERRO
So that mean’s those he kicked out he knew D*** well they couldn’t do the job, they would teeffff and frustrate the people. Yet after so many years now he changing? Stupes tan.
“None of them is looking for a job. None of them is seeking economic opportunity,” (Roosevelt Skerrit).
you know I am not an English Major like Roosevelt, who claimed graduated with a degree in English, I did not major in English, but in my pursuit to achieve in order to graduate, I had to take English as one of my prerequisite before I move onto my actual major which Electronics, and Electrical Engineering.
I graduated with a “B” in English, when I majored in Health Science, I had to do another semester taking English again to improve, went from a B to be plus nevertheless, I passed the class, continued until I decided to drop out of Med-school.
That in the quote above I would like some English Major to correct me if am wrong to say Roosevelt English vocabulary is wrapped for one the say taught English in Dominica.
@Francisco, Your comments didn’t make much sense to me, please don’t drink before sending any blogs on DNO save that ridiculous rubbish for Facebook OK?
None is a singular noun. A singular noun ( none) takes a singular verb (is). None is. None of them is.
AMEN Francisco. Poor Grammar.
Mr. Fox what grade level did accomplish in School. In what grade level of class did you graduate?
I was once told that Dominica English is different, in that English words in Dominica does not mean the same as elsewhere. Maybe you are one of the who believe that lie!
How can someone speaking about a series of people (more than, more than three) and is expressing himself as if he is talking in the singular term. “None of them is?”
Guy go and get an education in English before you humiliate yourself trying to contend with one who’s better educated than you!
My scholastic, and academic education; acquired from college, and university, hence not Google and a smart phone! Know you place because you are beneath me educationally, and intellectually!
I am not a linguistics major, but how do you define them?
“Them” cannot be singular, since them is more than one, so that means he is still wrong, his English grammar stinks. It is the same he said Obama must do something regarding Cuba before he demit office.
The term demit implies a person withdrawing from something: i.e the candidate who withdraw as the Marigot candidate has demit. Obama was ending his tenure as president of the United States, therefore he couldn’t have demit his office office!
None of them is, is correct. Francisco, you are no more than a fool. None of the children is playing and not, none of the children are playing. Francisco, you bought your degrees some where else. Self-praise is no recommendation, my friend.
Francisco, Could you tell me where about did you get your degree certificate or certificates? I need to have a couple technically speaking 2 as we all know in the US one can buy anything they wanted.
Man bite dog, don’t worry about where I got my degrees, all you need to know is that I began pursuing my education in the city of Harlow in Essex England at a community college, and finished in the United States. your only concern should be Francisco is college and University Educated, whereas you are not.
Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaah!
Many have challenge my educational background in the passed, I am not obligated to disclosed which institutions I attended, just keep on reading me yourself and others, judge me from my conversations the topics I respond to; pose a question and see how I respond, from that you might discover if I am college and university educated or not!
If I said I am Dr. such with a Ph.D there would be no question ask right? Well, I am not Dr. anything, but I have a BS in Electronic & Electrical Engineering respectively, an AS also in Electronics, compounded with an AA in the Liberal Arts. I also majored in Health Science.
That’s all!
Here you are calling me a fool when I can tell you the word “them” is normally singular, however it is a normal word with plural and singular form!
If there are more than one people sitting at a table and you gave something to someone to take to “than” meaning more than one person: In my case I would say take this to them; hence them could not be used in the singular, but must be in the plural sense! Fact is Roosevelt spoke about more one person, therefore “is ” must be incorrect. If you want to get technical and believe I am dumb; watch this!
.them singular or plural
.any is singular or plural
.is it singular or plural
.all is singular or plural
.their plural or singular
.its singular or plural
.most singular or plural
.everyone is singular or plural
‘ Of them’ is an adjective . None is like zero which is not a plural subject and which is followed by the verb to be “is” . Two or more is plural. So two of them “are” . But none of them or one of them is singular with a verb “IS”. “So none of them is, ” is grammatically correct.
@LIES
You have quoted Skerrit verbatim. Those words precisely describe the Skerrit-led administration for the last fifteen (15) years. These ministers of government ,soon to be former ministers, including Skerrit, are nothing more than economic opportunists. They have done a hatchet job on the country’s finances. After these bandits demit office there should be a thorough forensic audit of the State’s finances for the last nineteen years
“None of them is looking for a job. None of them is seeking economic opportunity,”
In other words none of them will give you competition for the money that is unaccounted for in the treasury? none of them will dare open their mouth and disagree with you or call you out?
Go ahead skerrit…. every dog have their day…. even you…
Money unaccounted for in the treasury?? You think is so. Someone must educated you people. Monies cannot leave the Treasury so. Bee go learn for yourself. Do you know about audit, checks and balances?
???????
i totally agree with you ”monies cannot leave the treasury so”
You see , first the monies have to come in , be deposited , placed , stored in the treasury for it to then leave , but if it is first diverted before reaching the treasury,
if it is sifted before even reaching the treasury, then of course there will be no audit , no account ( yet to be traced) . so i make you right indeed . But hear that, these days all monies that are not buried in de back garden can ,and will be traced .
money always leaves tracks especially when its other peoples monies being syphoned , albeit recovery of all may be impossible .
Why don’t we see any audited accounts of the CBI program? Why doesn’t your master tell us what might have happened to the US$100 million that Venezuela had to write off? These are just 2 examples but there are more!
You will lose the election because of your non-sense
You walking with your eyes closed !
you are flying blind !
plus u are arrogant !
I don’t support your polluted regime Skerrit, so I can’t embrace your new candidates .What I can say is that i don’t feel sorry for those you kicked out .They supported all your crap,so you ditched them.Well done!.
Skerrit Must Go
Skerrit Must Go
LAZY Skerrit Must Go Now
