Rehabilitation of Dominica’s first Prime Minister and Father of Independence Patrick Roland John

From Louis B Robinson:

Prime Minister Roosevelt Skerrit, at this independence time when you are calling for unity and healing, it would be in the interest of yourself personally, and the nation as a whole to take the high road and honor the first prime minister of Dominica, a former leader of the labor Party, as well as the WAWU, Mr. Patrick Roland John.

[Dominica Users Group] Lennox Linton’sthreat to Supriay

Trevor,
I am very impressed and must commend you for a beautiful piece of writing that ‘really’ (as my friend Corbo would say) tickled my fancy. We all (at times) will ‘seemingly’ compromise our ‘better’ judgement based on the information at hand, combined with the credibility of the source; this does not ‘somehow’ make us evil or ‘supportive’ of corruptive activities; Corruption must be qualified and then denounced for what it is, responsibly, and not out of some politically motivated malfeasance; it should not be subjective or some partisan conjecture, as we continue to witness to date.

From:     James A

Hi Trevor,

How are you? These are some strong sentiments/observations I must admit.

For the record, my fellow countryman let it be known, that as far as I know, we
do not know each other nor have we ever met. I was on the island of Trinidad
less than two months ago and I’ve not made contact with you nor have we met
then. However, I've been following this debate (some may classify it) and
candidly, as I have indicated both my mailbox and Blackberry are bombarded with
these emails. I refrained from getting involved because of the reasons you have
articulated and in particular, the bad spin these have placed on some of us in
the Diaspora.
