Hey, look….. Although I don’t know this man, I believe him. Once bobol and corruption are involved, Antigua is present. This man is a problem for all of them. They hurriedly gave the man our passport without doing proper due diligence. Now they want the problem to go away so it’s by any means necessary. I wonder what else is to be revealed.
The PM of Dominica and Gaston Brown are birds of a feather. They take the people for fools? The sad thing is that these politicians are not even discret anymore. It’s all high day corruption. But that just speaks volumes of where we are as a people. Politicians can run roughshod in our little islands but as long as Me myself and I can get the crumbs from the table of corruption
I don’t know…
I’m thinking… why would the Indian police be involved, and take him to Dominica? There are so many other neighboring island that he could have been taken to. We have St. Kitts and Nevis, Guadeloupe, Montserrat…
So I’m not following. Something is not adding up to me, for either I’m missing something, or something along the lines are not fully explained.
My brother open your eyes and hears Browne and Skerrit are partners in crime.
Waddling Man, yes you are missing something very important. Assuming his account is accurate; they wouldn’t have taken him to Montserrat because that is British jurisdiction ; and they could not have taken him to Guadeloupe because that is French jurisdiction. St. Kitts and Nevis though, is a horse of a different color.
