Just Ask The Damn Question

THE BBC AND JIMMY SAVILE:

COULD IT HAPPEN AGAIN?

Yes – Because it’s Happening Now.

“Everybody would say, ‘what evidence have you got?’ I would say, ‘well I don’t have enough evidence to ever prove to anyone that he’s guilty…I just feel that I have huge responsibility, a huge need, to go and ask a lot of questions’.”

David Walsh, the journalist who, in 1999, first questioned Lance Armstrong’s remarkable performance in the Tour de France.

At a moment when the BBC is being forced to confront the toxicity of its intrinsically compromised “networked” and “club-like” nature – in which uncomfortable facts can be hidden in plain sight if that’s what suits a number of people – I was most interested to read a parallel story; one which has echoes of the BBC’s omerta.

That's a exert from Ex-Senator Stuart Syvret's Blog and it's just so right still.

Have a read HERE

The BBC Radio Jersey Care Inquiry Documentary!!

Listen to it, Please.

I was full of hope when I heard of this, but as usual, Let Down and bemused at to why do the Media just skate around the Elephant in the room and not ask the right questions? 

If I can think of a few questions to ask/look into why can't these so called Journalists?

This so called Documentary was just asking the same old questions with no Answers, no Names, No Connections, No Links to anything, Nothing 

I'm sure the Answers are "hidden in plain sight" Just like with Savile, look at what he was allowed to get away with. I can't forget he had weekly Monthly meetings with top Coppers! Why was that allowed to happen?

The Report is out and it's damning of the non Care in our Children's Care Homes.

This BBC Journalist just says The AG? why can't she say William Bailhache was the AG at the time?

Why not question why the Bailiff Philip Bailhache Stopped Senator Stuart Syvret when he was telling the States that he didn't have confidence in The States Care System?

Why did The Bailiff Philip Bailhache tell The Home Affairs Minister to not go down that Route, in the InCamera Debate ? 

Why is the now Senator Philip Bailhache so against this Report? is it because The Report says he's speech at the Liberation was inappropriate? 

Why did Senator Philip Bailhache vote against the Care Inquiry getting extra money?

Why did Senator Philip Bailhache, the ex Bailiff, ex Top Judge Represent Deputy Andrew Lewis at the PPC meeting with all those Lawyers and who's paying for them?  Is it the States of Jersey paying for this?

 I've missed loads, which I'm sure people can fill me in with more.

We need to put together a Time Line with all the dubious things the  AG, Deputy Bailiff and Bailiff have been involved in.

You will say they will be involved in everything, but I'm sure it would make interesting reading.

Why do we get such Sloppy Journalism Or are they not allowed too?

This Island will not be able to move on until the Truth is out and we need the likes of the BBC to do a Better job, then they are doing now. 

Accredited Media?  

Just ask the Right Questions and please get some Answers, Not just tell us what we already KNOW!

Graham Power Interviewed on BBC Radio Jersey.

"The People That did Nothing are Criticizing the people that Did Something"

That's a Quote from Graham Power and it sums up everything and you don't need to say anything else.

Please Listen.


Thanks to The Voice For Children Blog for getting me this recording.

Senator Sir Philip Bailhache BBC Interview.

The Independent Jersey Care Inquiry Said About Senator Bailhache - 

"A Grave political Error" to his speech in 2008 on Liberation Day.

But Senator Bailhache Says in the Interview: 

"The Inquiry got it wrong"

Even though he says he agrees with the Report, he disapproves with most of it. So in my way of thinking, I will take it that he Doesn't approve of the Report, which means he's going against the Chief Minister and his Council? Doesn't It?

Also the Inquiry Said that, they couldn't except that a Politician and a Lawyer of his experience, could of made the mistake that Senator Bailhache is calling it. 

He meant what he said that day and he has no feelings for anyone but he's self. 

If as he says it was all but the media at the time, he should of made it clearer.

Anyway you can make your own mind up on it.  

Here is the Interview.

Voice For Children on the Jersey Radio.

Voice For Children being interviewed About all relevant matters to this day.

Prawn cocktails, Teeth falling thought floor boards and who is Paul Kent? 

I cant believe how much recordings I've got, but this will take a flow of its own. 

Frank Walker's BBC Radio Jersey Interview.

Have we just traveled back in time to 2008?

Good Old Frank Walker, doesn't know when to stop digging.

What happened to the Email Frank?

We are not still in 2008 Frank, but you still say you sacked Graham Power because Lenny Harper spent some money on meals and wine? I thought that had been investigated.

It sounds so easy dosn't it, you spend some money on a meal and wine and your boss gets sacked?

That was back then.

Now our our top Chiefs can spend the Islands money on flights to South Africa and a game of golf and then when the public finds out. You still can't sack him, you send him back to England with a Golden Handshake.

Most of been a very expensive bottle of Wine?

Here's the Interview from the 12/07/17. on Radio Jersey.

The Independent Jersey Care Inquiry's Report is out

And we need to carry on

Due to Deputy Lewis being mentioned in the Report for not being Truthful to the Inquiry’s panel and still not admitting that he did wrong and I quote


“We find that Andrew Lewis lied to the States Assembly about the Metropolitan Police report, stating that he had had sight of it when he had not. We can readily see why these acts have given rise to the public suspicion that all or some of those involved were acting improperly and that they were motivated by a wish to discredit or close down investigations into child abuse.” End quote.


The Jersey Way thinks some of the old recordings need to be reheard.


I’m shocked at the report, don’t know why because I knew what was going on at the time and knew some of the stories, to which the public were getting told that hadn’t happened.


Well now we know they did and it’s our duty to get the whole story out, now that we have been vindicated to why we were so outspoken about all of this.


Some of the States members that are in there now, were not there then, obviously. But the ones that were there, in the States Stamping there bloody feet, in agreement with the decisions that the Inquiry was not being needed and too the disproval of Senator Stuart Syvret, who I may add has been proved right all along.

I'm going to say Stuart Syvret needs an apology From the Jersey Government and he needs Redress.

We Knew you were right all along Stuart, its a shame the Government at the time, thought more about The Finance Industry then Children!

I’m going to dig out some speeches that will prove that it’s all crocodile tears going on at the moment and also tears because Chief Minister Le Sueur failed to stop the inquiry happening and they have all been court out.

So up first is this one.

Francis Le Gresley and Stuart Syvret were being interviewed by the BBC Radio Jersey, they were getting asked what they had thought of Senator Le Sueur’s tenure as Chief Minister. But first Neil had phoned in to ask about Andrew Lewis!

Recorded 22nd of September 2011

I shall leave the Blog up for future reference, but there will be no more. Some one I'm sure can take up the Reins.

Jersey FC or the Jersey Old Boy's Club?

For starters I'm right up for a Jersey FC, it's about time so good luck Mr Culkin. I will become a member and supporter.

I'm putting this up because I think this is a very important point in Jersey Football and it's great listening to other people trying to breakaway from the Old Boy's Network that rules everything over here in Jersey.

I take my hat off to you Mr Culkin.

First of all we had the Debate, last Friday evening 16/05/14, about where Jersey Football was and were was it going after the 4 - 1 loss to Guernsey in the Muratti. Guernsey have gone Professional and are going from strength to strength. So we want some of that.

But Mr Tim Darwin who is the President of the Jersey Football Combination League, says that a "Jersey FC would be Counter Productive to there System" !

Why would that be Mr Darwin ?

You all nice and comfortable with the way it is Mr Darwin ?

???

Part 1



Part 2



Part 3



Part 4




Today Mr Culkin was on the Radio to tell us how he was going to do it and was very upfront and honest in saying "he hasn't got a clue" but it has to start somewhere and that place is not a bad place to start.

A complete clean slate.

   

I wish you all the best and when Jersey FC are in the Premier League in 20 years time (I do hope it will be sooner) we can listen back on here and to remember how it all began.
