    There should be a law that only the people who demonstrated should get an increase in salary. These thing of some people demonstrating and the others seat there doing nothing and then once the negotiations are agreed upon, they benefit. That is unfair. They don’t pay union fees yet still they benefit

    How can any human being with even a modicum of common sense, integrity, decency and of conscience support this cruel, visionless, unconscionable Skerrit-led government. Every sector of the government is under performing and dysfunctional. The police, nurses, doctors, lawyers, in fact, the entire public service are crying foul. There is unbearable hardship that is making people buckle at the knees. The PM refuses even to just acknowledge the severity of the unbearable, excruciating pain of the people’s cries. Mr. Skerrit the cost of living has long outpaced the people’s take home pay. You have wasted money on useless domestic and foreign advisors: on taking shiploads of supporters to foreign countries to cheer for you; to pay foreign mercenaries to deface the image of the leader of the parlimentary opposition. The country is now descending into total anarchy under Skerrit’s stewardship. Five more years of this chaos and miserable? HELL NO!

Failed incompetent , immature Skerrit Get Lost, he has failed us and our Domininca. This man is just a fanfare puppet, with strings adjusted to his masters we all know who they on radio everyday trying to raise the profile of Skerrit, but they have failed, simple because Skerrit is unable to attain the decency, intellectual professionalism
      of Hon Lennox Linton. There is no way that Skerrit is able to reach higher heights and attain the same level of Hon Linton and his professional TEAM. Skerrit must Go. The UWP under Hon. Linton will be people`s Team

      So called patriot, what on hell is your story, or your stress. This is the nonsense you penned: These are the fraction of the Lazy police officers just sitting and watching women pass by. Tell us Blind Patriot, these women you talk of are anyone of them your sister, girlfriend, other, aunt, cousins etc. Let us now see how yo feel when your blatantly write BS to protect your failed Skerrit but insult and try to downgrade women Because you feel that all these Decent Police officers of ours who protect us everyday and night eye some women, like you , as they pass on their patrol
      you ask offence for no reason, but you will not expose failed Skerrit who has reduced our, your people to begging at the Red Clinic and you happy with that. NO jobs created, no more bananas produced by our farmers and these are things your failed Skerrit has done to us. He must, he is a bag joke and incompetent. We do not need him in our government. He has failed us and our Dominica. Not fit to be PM.

      Pure workers. I see Laville that other woman from Marigot Casimir Burtran all of them lazy.

      80% of them you seeing there got into the police force under Labour Party especially under PM

      And Casimir should be grateful the DLP especially to PM and he knows why.

      But god hate ungrateful people.

      But don’t matter what all you try you all can’t stop us from mashing up workers in this election.

      Waiting to see DPSU protest next.

      This is why much police officers not following drigo political group within the police force

      Five more years on December 6 if that is what I all trying to prevent

      Let me see if DNO will delete this as always

    Quick question, is there a police officer there taking pictures? or are there police barricading all of Roseau?
    Cause when people protest in the country, there are police officers taking their pics…blocking off the entire town and jacking up people, I just want to know if that applies

    Well done officers!
    Now you all have to talk against all the arbitrary arrest of opposition members and supporters, by those officers who see nothing else but Skerrit..They are in the minority, and are being used by a rogue DLP regime!!
    Well done officers!
    Letang, where are you sir? Hibernating,?
    Public officers should be protesting as well.

    Strange and convenient timing. I hope this is genuine and that the police are not been used by the opposition.

    Francis you got too much on you plate. You want to portray lawlessness and chaos. Where’s the work protests, surely not in Roseau. Since you a vent on creating mayhem and disorder, the President should sought the help of the Jamaicans, who doesn’t know anyone. We know the Jamaicans shoots first and ask questions later. You are also committing a crime, if I person stays in a theater and yell 🔥 fire you know the outcome of that, as a liar.
