And while we'll have to wait and see how it plays out on Sunday when they PUP's tour goes West into Dan Silva's backyard - the party has enough on its hands with ongoing facebook wars. Yesterday we showed you the incendiary post on Micah Goodin's facebook page - where he called out Yasmin Shoman who replaced him as the PUP's candidate in the Collet Division. He posted that she spent 250 thousand dollars on a Range Rover and ten tells the people that she can't help until she is elected. He concludes, quote, "Shoman really tek poor people fi fool and idiot." Those are strong words from one PUP to another in public - but yesterday the party chairman said - he'll take care of Micah Goodin:..
Henry Usher, Chairman - PUP
"I believe that if Micah has an issue that he wants to get out there, he and I can discuss it but certainly I don't support this nonsense about going and spreading out on Facebook or any other social media if you are upset about something."
And while the Chairman says that the Micah matter is well in hand - the party has so many facebook fires to put out! Already this week we've seen fiery facebook posts from candidate Dan Silva and Mayor Kevin Bernard - but of who dissed their party. And today Servula Baeza was added to the list of facebook hotheads. He put up a post saying that have a national convention without any challenge to the leader is a sick joke. He asks what is the leadership afraid of and concludes that the decision taken yesterday guarantees five more years of the UDP. LOVE News asked the Chairman about all this facebook rage and how the party can contain it:..
Henry Usher, Chairman - PUP
"I certainly appreciate the power of Facebook. It does reach out to millions of people and it's certainly the medium that most young people prefer these days, Facebook and these other social media outlets. When I say 'I don't read Facebook', I mean that I can only respond to what is sent to me. If I go out there and try to respond to everything that is on Facebook, I will not be able to sleep. So first of all, the thing with Facebook is that you never know who is posting what. You might have fake accounts and all of that. so to address your question as to whether it will affect the party, yes, and I have been trying to do my best to reach out to those who do put post and different things."
