St. Lucia's Attorney General has been launched

Yes, it was a massive show of force for Doddy. St.Lucians, braving the inclemency of the weather turned out in thousands to launch Lorenzo “Doddy” Francis in the Culdesac Valley on Sunday February 6, 2010.


The Choiseul contingency headed by Rufus Bousquet rolled into the launch area with a motorcade of about thirty seven vehicles including buses, trucks, cars and motorcycles.

The immediate area of the launch was a sea of soggy ground with small pools of water here and there. The area was recently graded and the intermittent showers saturated the soil thus making the ground very muddy.

But wait! That did not deter the supporters, because mud or rain one could see persons braving these elements to head to the main stage area.

All members of the party were present with the exception of Janine, whom as this post is being written, heard “Jouk Bois” say that she has resigned from the party. One could sense an aura of confidence among the occupants on the stage as speaker after speaker confirmed the audience’s hope, that UWP will win the next general elections. Spider was rather forceful as he tore to shreds a number issues which the leader of the opposition mentioned sometime ago….one being the calling of elections on its anniversary.

Rufus, on the stage, was cool and collected and in his delivery, lending support to Mr. Francis, informed the gathering that he once told Robert Lewis “Doddy” will send him home.

Lorenzo “Doddy” Francis was the man of the moment as introductions by both his wife and daughter gave credence to the man. Mr. Francis in culminating his speech closed by saying, “Doddy, gets it done.”

The general atmosphere at the rally was one of joy, comradry and the impending hope of a UWP victory at the next elections constitutionally due no later by March 2012.

The gathering at the rally looked more less like about six to seven thousand making Pep’s launch look like a house party, so said an Anse la Raye supporter.

Another supporter from Gros Islet injected, “If St. Lucians can brave this inclement weather, and wade in this mud to hear their representatives, this sends a strong message to Labour, they have no chance.”

Ricky T provided much entertainment for the massive crowd; off and on using his versility to merge a little politics in his repertoires. These was humorously received by everyone.

No incidents were reported to have happened and everyone  got home in one piece. Bravo to everyone.
  Seeing the reactions of the supporters of Labour in certain pockets in the community of Choiseul, as Sunday's motorcade rolled through the district on its way to Culdesac, it left me to reflect a little, and left  a question  which still lingers on my mind. Are the majority of Labourites  in this district noisy and insultive persons, who tackle the supporters of the opposite side on their personal business rather than political issues? Was it meant to be so, or did 'Choiseul Labour' design it to be so? Food for thought? The video below is a clip of Ricky T.
Please take the poll on the right. Thank you.
