Once again, forces are at work to besmirch and undermine the good name of Dominica, in the eyes of the region and the world. Pictures not only tell a thousand words, they also tell the story that is narrated.

I take strong objection and serious offense to the interpretation of this as Dominicans being hungry and desperate for food and coming to the office of the Prime Minister for a pittance.

It is a long established fact that a reader will be distracted by the readable content of a page when looking at its layout. The point of using Lorem Ipsum is that it has a more-or-less normal distribution of letters, as opposed to using ‘Content here, content here’, making it look like readable English.
