Dear Editor,
While youthful exuberance may be excusable in some quarters, it is without a doubt inexcusable and unacceptable within and around the shores of the Jamaica Labour Party. Andrew Holness must now, before he is unable to, rein in his dogs. Andrew has allowed his ill-advised mouthpieces to castigate Audley Shaw publicly, putting at risk his reputation for selfless service to the Jamaica Labour Party as well as the Jamaican economy and the Jamaican people.
I am particularly disappointed in Babsy Grange for behaving like a virago on a political platform recently. For Messrs Warmington and Wheatley, I guess, we can't expect any better. However, as adults and political leaders they should be ashamed.
Any savvy Jamaican would fully appreciate the fact that Mr Shaw has been very temperate, so far, with respect to his public statements. He has shown much love and the utmost respect for the leader because of his undying love for the JLP. If you ask me, the man has done nothing wrong. He is dissatisfied with Mr Holness's leadership, or the lack thereof, and thus took up the welcome which was extended for a challenge.
Mr. Shaw is now being the boldest man in over 20 years to challenge for leadership within the JLP. He is showing guts. To further emphasise Audley's nobility, he was man enough to meet Andrew face to face and make his intentions known. It would be mighty conscious and wise of Andrew to rein in supporters. But, if they should maim Audley, let them not maim him for his selflessness, but for his ability to expose Andrew's indecisiveness and his inconsistencies with regards to democracy.
