A low local rate of Internet access has failed to provide any solace for Prime Minister Bruce Golding online as members of the public have continued their Twitter #blamebruce campaign, establishing a page of same name on Facebook, the most popular website in Jamaica.

#blamebruce become a locally trending topic last week as Jamaicans often humorously sought to blame the Prime Minister for everything from their financial woes to, perhaps a little confusingly, "if jps cut off yuh wata".

"after bruce is done failing, who do we have to save us? Portia? God help us. #blamebruce," tweeted one user.

The Facebook page currently has 3,080 fans.

About Twitter

Twitter is a social networking website which is becoming increasingly popular among Jamaicans. It allows users to send, or 'tweet', and receive messages of up to 140 characters in length and to expand their networks by following others and allowing others to follow them.

As with Facebook, Twitter can also be downloaded as an application on your mobile phone, a feature that has helped spread its popularity in Jamaica which has a famously high rate of cellphone penetration.
