Sports Council Sends Yellowman Home
posted (November 27, 2019)
We reported it weeks ago, but tonight we can confirm that Brian "Yellowman" Audinett has officially been terminated by the National Sports Council.

A letter from the Director of the Sports Council Ian Jones says that he has not been doing his job as Facility Night Auditor since June first of 2019. And, because of that, he's being terminated for desertion of his post. Jones advises him that he was warned, but, quote, "the National Sports Council can no longer tolerate such neglect of work duties." End quote.

Now, while that is on the paper, for the UDP on the ground it is being interpreted that Patrick Faber, the Minister of Sports has given the order to fire Yellowman - who is, first and foremost a frontline UDP soldier. Those outside the logic of party politics will see it as a straightforward dismissal, but for many in the UDP - especially those who oppose Faber - it is a very serious act of war against an ultra-loyalist.

We'll see how this one plays out.
