And the man that Faber sees as central to the possibility of a total UDP collapse is Chairman Mike Peyrefitte. We taught he had it in for Shyne, but his disdain for Peyrefitte is on a whole other level.
Here's what he had to say about Peyrefitte's claim that the recall petition had 30 people withdrawing their support for it - even before it reached the party secretariat:
Patrick Faber, Collet Representative
"But all of the taking back of signatures happened after the submission with the exception of maybe one or two from what I've been able to gather. All of those - you need to take back your signature - I'm not happy that you signed that petition - you need to fix it - you need to correct it, happened over the weekend and so when the chairman puts in writing and says to a media house or houses that in fact these signatures were withdrawn even before the submission. I say to you Mr. Peyrefitte, you are a big fat liar. So, Mr. Peyrefitte wheel and come again, sir. Your dishonesty and your blatant disregard on the many occasions that people in this party have written and asked for some kind of resolution to the matters of this party make you a failed chairman. You are in fact the worst chairman this party have even seen and that's coming from somebody who has been the chairman."
We sought out Peyrefitte for comment and he would only say, quote, "I stand by what I said." Adding some levity, Peyrefitte added, "I love it when you call me Big Poppa".
