The Alternative Proposition.

Well here is the "alternative" Proposition from our Chief Minister to Deputy Bob Hill's Proposition. What is he so Scared of ?

Took a bit of digging but I think Citizen Media has published it first again into the public domain. I think that is becoming the normal process over here in Do La La Land. Sorry Jersey C.I. International.

If it was so clear cut as our good chief Minister is trying to make out Why can't we have Deputy Bob Hill's Proposition ? If every one that is involved in the suspension of our Chief of Police did there job to the letter of the law, why can't we have Bob Hill's Proposition ?

THEY JUST DO NOT WANT THE TRUTH TO COME OUT ?

Sorry but it will in the end. Just like the story's that are coming BACK about Wife Beating ?

JUST READ & REAP.

P9 COMMITTEE OF INQUIRY:SUSPENSION OF THE CHIEF OFFICEROF THE STATES OF JERSEY POLICE

Comments from the Council of Ministers

The Proposition calls for a Committee of Inquiry to be established to review the manner in which the Chief Officer of the States of Jersey Police was suspended. Following the suspension of the Chief Officer, Wiltshire Police were commissioned to review the background to the way in which the investigation into the Historic Childcare Abuse Enquiry was managed by the States of Jersey Police and in particular, identify evidence of misconduct by the Chief Officer of the States of Jersey Police.

The Wiltshire Investigation is being undertaken in accordance with the Disciplinary Code of Conduct for the Chief Officer of Police which requires confidentiality to be maintained by all parties throughout the investigation. As a consequence, it is not possible to discuss in open debate the background or context to this investigation, much of which might be required in a meeting the Inquiry’s overall objectives as set out in Part (a) of the Proposition.
Part (a) of the Proposition for a Committee of Inquiry can be split into four particular elements:-
The manner in which the Chief Officer of the States of Jersey Police was suspended from his duties on 12 November 2008.

The procedures and the documentation used in the suspension process.

The grounds relied on by the previous Home Affairs Minister in taking his decision.

The role of the Minister and of other parties who were involved in the suspension process.

The issues covered in i, ii and iv above could be investigated by a Committee of Inquiry.

However, item iii requires the background information that led to the Home Affairs Minister to take the decision to instigate disciplinary procedures to be available to a Committee of Inquiry.

Under the Confidentiality Agreement in place with the Chief Officer of Police and given that this line of enquiry is fully covered by the Wiltshire Investigation as part of the Disciplinary Procedure against the Chief Officer of Police, it is hard to see how a Committee of Inquiry can gain access to, and use this information in an open inquiry whilst the Disciplinary Procedure is running that requires confidentiality to be maintained throughout.

Consequently a Committee of Enquiry, as proposed, could not commence activities until the Disciplinary Procedure had been completed.

The Chief Minister has reviewed all correspondence over the past few weeks and recognises that some Members are concerned at the way in which the management of the suspension process was handled by his Department at that time. As a result, the Chief Minister has given an undertaking to commission a review and report on specific areas as outlined in the attached Terms of Reference. This Review will be undertaken by an independent external expert qualified in Employment Law and the Chief Minister has undertaken to make the findings of the Report public.

With the recent publication of the sworn Affidavit by the suspended Chief Officer of Police, it is essential that the Review of the Suspension Process be undertaken in the shortest possible time frame, to enable all relevant facts from all parties to be fully investigated to establish the true position. However, the Proposition as drafted would appear to prevent this course of action being taken as a Committee of Inquiry will not be able to gain access to all relevant information. The Chief Minister is of the view that if the Committee of Inquiry were to be approved, the terms of reference would have to be amended in such a manner that allows it to perform its function before the disciplinary process has been completed.

The alternative, which is proposed by the Chief Minister, is that an independent expert should be engaged in the shortest possible time frame to undertake this review and report. The Chief Minister has requested Deputy Hill to assist him in the appointments process and has also asked JACS to assist in the selection and appointment process for the Reviewer to ensure transparency. Subject to the successful appointment, the Chief Minister will bring a Report to the States advising Members of the individual selected with their background and curriculum vitae.

The Chief Minister is of the opinion that conducting a review as outlined in his Terms of Reference will be a much quicker and simpler process to that required in the formation of a Committee of Inquiry, but still provides the level of assurance Members are looking for.

Members will note however, that the Terms of Reference proposed by the Chief Minister contain a specific clause that asks the Reviewer to establish whether there are grounds for a full Committee of Inquiry. Should this be confirmed, the Chief Minister commits to bringing back to the Assembly a Proposition for a Committee of Inquiry and for the appointment of a panel of members through a formal advertising and selection process in line with best practice.

This appointments process is seen to be open and transparent for all parties and in contrast to the appointments process outlined in this Proposition whereby members are pre-selected by the proposing Member.

Part (b) of the Proposition is unacceptable and should be rejected. For complex investigations such as this where professional reputations of senior ranking officials are at stake, the recruitment and selection process for individuals to form a Committee of Inquiry must be managed in an open and transparent manner. If Members are minded to approve a Committee of Inquiry, it must be subject to the input of an independent body responsible for the recruitment process, the outcome of which will be presented to the Assembly for final approval.

Financial and Manpower Implications

The costs shown in the Proposition for the Committee of Inquiry appear to cover administrative costs only and, given the timescale for previous Committees of Inquiry these costs appear to be on the low side.

The main cost that is not identified for a Committee of Inquiry will be that of meeting the costs of legal representation for individuals called to give evidence. Providing an accurate cost for this legal representation is not possible but assuming that the key witnesses will be past and current politicians and employees, most, if not all of whom will be seeking legal support, costs could be in the order of £20,000, in addition to those costs identified in the Deputy’s Proposition. If individuals called to give evidence no longer live locally, travel and accommodation will also have to be factored in.

Based on previous independent reviews of this nature, the Chief Minister believes that the cost for the review as proposed in the Terms of Reference would be in the order of £5-10.000

Recommendation

Members are urged to reject this Proposition on the basis that it will become a lengthy process and as presented, does not provide the required level of transparency in terms of the selection of a panel to form the Committee of inquiry.

Members should instead support the proposal from the Chief Minister to commission an independent review, with the safeguards as outlined in this report and if the findings are of such magnitude, the Chief Minister commits to bring a Report and Proposition to this Assembly calling for a full Committee of Inquiry.

APPENDIX
A review of the management process that led to the suspension of the Chief Officer of Police.

Commissioner

The Chief Minister wishes to appoint a Commissioner to undertake a review of the manner in which the Chief Officer of the States of Jersey Police was suspended from his duties on 12 November 2008. Given the length of time that has elapsed since the Chief Officer of Police was suspended, and the concerns raised by States Members particularly following the publication of the Affidavit from the suspended Chief Officer of Police, the Chief Minister is proposing to commission an independent review to assure himself and States Members that the management of the process was conducted correctly.

2. Terms of Reference

The purpose of the Review is to:-
Examine the procedure employed by the Chief Minister’s Department and the Home Affairs Minister in the period leading up to the suspension of the Chief Officer of Police on 12 November 2008.

Review the manner in which senior officers collated the information and presented it to the Home Affairs Minister that ultimately led to the suspension of the Chief Officer of Police.

Investigate whether the procedure for dealing with the original suspension was correctly followed at all times including:-

The reason for the immediate suspension of the Chief Officer of Police
Whether there were any procedural errors in managing the suspension process.

Review all information relating to the original suspension procedure including relevant sections of the published Affidavit from the suspended Chief Officer of Police

The Report should highlight any areas where in the opinion of the Commissioner sufficient evidence exists that would support in the interests of open government a full Committee of Inquiry into the manner in which the Chief Officer of Police was suspended on 12 November 2008.

3. Report

A Report should be prepared for the Chief Minister. The Commissioner must be aware that the entire disciplinary process for the Chief Officer of Police is conducted under his Terms and Conditions of Employment which include a Code of Conduct for Disciplinary Process. This Code requires confidentiality to be maintained by all parties throughout the disciplinary process. As such, the report should therefore be in two parts:-

Part I should consist of matters appropriate for immediate publication to States Members and the Public;

Part II relating to those matters specific to the Chief Officer of Police which under his Code of Conduct have to remain confidential until the disciplinary process has been completed.

P9 2010. 23/02/10.

I have been drawn in to say something about this proposition.


I have had the opportunity this week to listen to the Radio Phone in and I have been most surprised by the amount of people that have made it be known on the radio that the proposition that Deputy Bob Hill has brought, is the right way to go. To get to the end of this sorry Saga.

I think you can say "it does what it says on the tin". That is get to the TRUTH OF THE MATTER.

He has named a committee which is what he is to do under Standing Order's & the States Members when they debate the proposition can put there own people up for the committee.

But there are people that are doing all they can to delay this getting thought, by saying the committee needs to be advertise for these positions & our good Chief Minister wants to have the inquiry in house not in public.

If our good Chief Minister gets his way it won't happen before our Chief of Police retires & then what is the point. Our inner Government have got away with it. They would of in not so many words of sacked the Islands Chief of Police because he was doing to mush of a good job.

But this has cost the Island over £1 Million pounds & our police force are having to make cut backs, which basically means our force is down in numbers by around 14 police officers, may not seem a lot to the outside world but we are only 9 miles by 5 miles with a population that no one knows. You can ask anyone "when did you see a copper on the beat in town" & they will have to think & then they will come out with "don't no".

There are so many question's to be answered. !!

I just hope this proposition gets the vote & we may just be on the road to change for the good of the Island. If our Chief Minister gets his way & this loses we are in the sh*t & our States members would of lost the respect of & I know I don't speak for the all the Island but I think I could say over half of the Island. No wonder Senator Stuart Syvret left the Island If this is what our Honorable Members can get away with.

In our Chief of Police's Affidavit he names the Chief Executive in political activity in the removal of the then Minister of Health Senator Syvret, for doing his job in asking difficult questions. He didn't want anything to do with it, so he left that meeting. In doing so & in not joining in on the plot sealed his Removal from office.!!!!

WE NEED THE TRUTH.

Yes Minister.

I didn't Know how to say this but I think for the time being I shall stay Anonymous, but I do think that the people that be will Know who I am, where I live & what I do for a Living.



I thank everyone that has left a comment on my Blog. Yes it was my decision & because I listened to the States sitings this week I've decided to stay in cahoots with the only ones that I can Trust & there are my cats, God there take some stick.


Senator Syvret has got some Balls, depending on what media outlet you turn into, his either the Antichrist or just a pain in the the arse. But he was voted in on a Island wide Mandate & he is representing his people who are victims of the Jersey way. So he is still earning his money.


He wont talk to the Jersey B.B.C. but he will talk to Channel T.V. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Nice move really because he made that nice Girl from Channel to look like a puppet with her Lovely Smile that got to look ridiculous after a minute.


It was one Question that she got to last 15 minutes. Stuart had to ask her to stop talking so he could answer the Question. Not very well done at all. Mr Hemming was embarrassed by the way she was going about her job.


If that's the best we've got with Jess Dunsdon at the coal face, doing a world exclusive I've Sean it all. The B.B.C. think they are the best in the world for unbiest news reporting, well no wonder Stuart wont talk to them.Old Roger Bara should stick to interveiwing the Jersey Cricket Team, God he griles them, but he does get the answers & we can turn off happy in what we've heard, Knowing that his hasn't missed a trick. But when it comes to a Minister he takes every thing in that that Minister says, he will say he puts the over side across, Yes Right.


Chris Stone's Phone in is just the same, they ask you what you want to say & then tell you "You can't say that today" or" we are not talking about that today". But at the start of the Program you get told "It's your program say what you want" or "What's the topic today fock's". They may as well say "we don't talk about this & we don't mension about that"." But it's all done to protect you from Lieable". What a Sh*t program it is turning in to. !!


The B.B.C. blame Senator Syvret for everything just like the Government do. But not one person who would of been hands on is to blame. It Just Does Not Add UP.

But there you have it the people who believe in Stuart & the ones that don't.

I always thought Deputy Jackie Hilton was part of the Estabishment but is she seeing the light. She's gone against them twice I think, SHE NEEDS HER BOTTOM SPANKED.

SH*T 1.42 am. need to go to bed. Just when I was getting in to it.

I will Post again.

Coming out.

I've been asked a lot why have I not Blogged for months.


Well this year has been hard & there are times when you just need to take a back seat & reflect on wear you are going in life.



It is not that I've given up, far from it I've got loads to say about this Island which I Love.



I've had the most stressful summer of my life. With our Hospital nearly killing my mum, not once but twice. But with the good staff of the Intensive care & the strong heart of a woman who lived though the war she is back at home now doing very well.



I have also had my own problems with being lost in the hospital system so having to wait months for an appointment & just today I've been for a scan to do with a problem that has just come to light & I went private so I didn't have to wait 4 weeks not knowing what was going on.



So what do I mean with my Title " Coming Out".!! No I'm not Gay but since I've not been Blogging I have been thinking that I shouldn't be Anonymous & would probably be More Frank.



I think Blogger's have been getting a bad deal this year & I don't think its right. So I think we should be in the open about who we are & we need more people Blogging about this place.



The Voice does a brilliant job he must put in hours into his work.



As for Senator Syvret well were do you start. That man has put his head on the block so many times now he must be some kind cat with 9+ lives. If he had lived in a different time i.e. pre Internet he would be in London Yes But The Tower of London. With a few stretching pains & we would of never of heard of him again. But the Internet has come to his rescue & there's so many people out here who know what is going on our Government can't just get him removed.



As for the people saying he should be hear, well he has a Island wide Mandate & his People are not getting justice so he has thought for them. In the end getting himself so involved with his work repersenting the Islands Victims he's crossed a line or two. So in my veiw he is a man of his word & as onest as the day is long.



So do I come out or stay in the willdeness.

Would the real Chief Minister Stand up.

I bet Senator Ozouf can't wait for the next election, so he can take his right full place as Chief Minister.

But I would like to put a bet on with on-nest Nev that he doesn't get in in the next Election, he lost quite a lot of votes in the last election & with all the dirty low handed tricks he's playing at the moment he'll lose a hell of a lot more by the time the election comes.

Hear we go again Tax the working class & cut Services for the old & needy. But he can't get any more money out of the rich. He is going to have a riot on his hands if this goes thought the states.
Can't believe that the States Members got £1,000.00 a year rise at the beginning of the year & did you Know that our Nurses to this day are waiting for last years RISE.

Yes that's right our Nurses have to wait over a year to get a minimum pay rise & then get told this year & for the foreseeable future there pay will be frozen. They are short staffed run off there feet & don't get the PAY that they should be payed.

Years ago Jersey Nurses were paid well & it wasn't vary hard to get nurses from England. But the English Government put there pay up so they didn't leave. So now Jersey is not so good looking as it was 10 -15 years ago. There pay is going backwards & the quality of care over here is slipping & Senator Chief Minister wants it to get worse.

I'll stop there for now because this is going to run & run. Roll on that next Election. !

Senator Perchard.

After watching the video on The Voiceforchildren Blog site, when Mrs J. Garcia finally got to talk to the Senator, I was surprised to find out he hadn't made any effort to talk with her about her son's Suicide & after he had said publicly that he would. I had to make a comment which I shell reproduce below.



thejerseyway said...
I don't no what it is, but I just can't believe anything this so called Senator says.May be its because he moved his lips.He says he spent 1 day with Mental Health Doctors discussing Suicide, Just one day when people spend a life time try to under stand this illness.People are at rock bottom, the world is against them, can't see a way out & think there family would be better off with out them. I could go on & on.This man sickened me when we were told what he said & it was not the first time he had said such a thing.May be he should speak to the Samaritans about spending some time helping out on a weekend, just to see for himself how many people out there in the real world with problems & despair there really is.Then he may have a better idea about the illness & Then he mite think twice about saying such a horrible thing to another person.But I wont hold my breath on that one & to think he had the audacity to go for the job again. Well I'm not happy about him being in the States at all.The next Election can't come soon enough When I will be reminding people again of just what this candidate has said in the past & I'll put a bet on at honest Nev's bookies that he will mess up again before we get to the Elections.I hope we still have a farming industry left by then. Know wot I mean.
29 April 2009 16:06.



I think I said enough there, but this man must love himself so much he just does not get the message. He goes for the job again.



But hang on one minute hes not the Chief Minister choice, even when the Chief Minister has said that he has the FULL BACKING of his Department. So do we take that the Chief Minister said that statement just to cover his back. I suppose he could not say he didn't.



So Senator Perchard went for the job on his own back, with out the Chief Minister's BACKING. Well he should of taken the hint & gone back to the shadows were he belongs. But we had to listen to him bleat on about how much work he had to finish. All he was doing was a self preservative exorcise. But I can't believe him one little bit anymore & I know there are a lot more people out there that think the same.



He is not fit to be a Senator, all he does is disrupt Propositions in the States, on the say so from our real Chief Minister Senator Phillp Ozouf. So he's the Government's Bully Boy, with the mouth of a sewer RAT & the brain of a gold fish, witch only lasts 3 seconds.



I would love to know who were the 10 that voted for him. They should go with the GST 28.

Silent Peaceful March.

Silent Peaceful March
On April the 25th 2009 at 12 noon there is to be a silent and peaceful march from Peoples Park to the Royal Square. The march will be in support and acknowledgement of victims of child abuse past and present across the world.On October the 21st 1996 up to 300,000 Belgian citizens took to the streets wearing white ribbons and arm bands as a symbol of hope which became known as “The White March”. It was not only a march for hope but also a silent peaceful protest against their governments handling of the of the Marc Dutroux case which bears many similarity’s, not only to the way our government has handled the child abuse scandal that has hit Jersey, but the way child abuse is handled by some governments across the world.We would like the Jersey White March to be non political or critical of our government or police investigation. We believe it will be an opportunity to show abuse survivors and the rest of the world that the good people of Jersey do not condone abuse of any human being - child or otherwise.Abuse survivors, across the globe, have had theirs and their family’s lives torn apart, wrecked, and destroyed, not only by the heinous abuse they have suffered at the hands of their abusers but the wall of silence that inevitably surrounds the taboo subject of paedophilia and child abuse.This March has the support of the Care Leavers Association (CLA) and the Jersey Care Leavers Association (JCLA) Please give this march and all abuse survivors your support and show the world the good people of Jersey DO care.We would ask if you are able to attend the march that you wear something white, a symbol of “hope”If you are a Blogger and support abuse victims around the world, please copy and paste this onto your Blog until the day of the march SATURDAY 25th OF APRIL 2009 12.p.m

Perchard v Syvret. Who do you Believe

As being one of those sad people that do listen to the States on the radio, as i do tend to enjoy it for a good old laugh.





So haven listened to the goings on for many year's, you do tend to switch off sometimes when certain people get on there high horse & go into one.



So when old Syvret got up & spouted out a load of foul language, I couldn't believe my ears, so when I got over the shock I got off the floor & stopped laughing. I thought I should of taped that you will never hear that again. Absolutely price less.



I didn't know what to believe at first, but I did know there's no love lost between them. To start thinking that a Senator would say those kind of things, its just not cricket Jim as we know it.



Then there's that letter he sent in to the JEP, about cyber bullying & he will stand up against it. So why is he telling someone in the States while they are going thought the days business, "to go & Kill Your Self".



Isn't that some form of Bullying in its self. I did think old Senator Syvret must be losing the plot or something. But then why would he come out with something like that, did it happen. I would of loved to of seen Perchard's face when he came out with it, it must of been a picture.



So that was that no more was said on the matter. Then Senator Syvret told us the story on his Blog, with him telling us other times that Senator Perchard has lost the plot "with a drink in him" & telling him "to go & slit his wrists". An out burst at the town hall & one at last years Battle of Flowers against some woman. All with Drink.



Well after reading these stories who do you believe, I think its Senator Syvret to be honest. It sounds to me that Senator Perchard may have a problem with the drink. Well he is an old Farmer after all, to much cider or is it the calverdos.



He has admitted on radio that he did swear to Senator Syvret. So that's O.K. !! "No more questions on the subject please Its under the carpet now & it was only Stuart". Talk Back more like No Talk just waffle Show.



The more people you ask the more stories of him swearing & arguing come out. So it seems to be normal protocol for him. He doesn't seem to be able to handle himself in the manner that's right for a elected States man.



But he's our Health Minister for heaven's sake, What is going on. Did he lose it with the British Government's Minister in a meeting & they wont deal with him anymore, so we loses your health agreement with England !!. WE will nether know will we.



How can we have a Health Minister who may have a drink problem, I remember 31/2 years ago when Senator Walker was picking hes Minister's , Deputy Read tried to go for Health & he was laughed out of that position because he Smocked.



So Senator Perchard must go. I'm glad I didn't vote for him but I'm stuck with him as my Health Minister Who's a lose cannon, When will he go off next.!!! He's to much of a risk. He should of stuck to Farming.



Ow & how does it go down with Doctor of Health Rosemary Geller who Say's there's a drink culture in jersey & we should all stop drinking & her Minister is at it good style making a fool of himself, The Government & The Island. Life Enriching indeed.

Car Parks

We don't have enough car parking in town, but to build one at Ann Court I think would be a mistake.





It was ideal for the over 55s, there must be a better site. The congestion at Bath Street is bad enough now let alone with more cars heading that way.



Yes the town does need a park at Gas Place, but why do we need a 800 space car park at Ann Court.



Why not knock down old St James Church which is a money pit, how long has that scaffold been up now doing nothing ?. That could be one site for a small car park.



There could be one at the Police Station/Fire Station. They want to move. The old Sommerfield Site.



If they Started the process to Pipe our Gas in they could move the gas company out of town, then we would get rid of that danger. we could have one there.



There must be loads of sites around the outskirts of Town that would be better then one Massive 800 space one in a built up area.



Couldn't Green Street car park be added to, what about Snow Hill car park why not add on there.



They could make Ann Court Lovely for the over 55s. That about knocking down those ware houses opposite & adding some character to the area. They are going to build posh Flats at that Church that burnt down, they will love a 800 Space car park next door I don't thing .



The old Ann Street brewery is going so there will be more Flats next to a 800 space car park.



These people we elected into OUR States Building just haven't got a clue they live out of town, Drive in straight in to there parking space, Press a couple of those buttons, mess peoples lives up, then go home. Job Done ?.



They should live next to a car park for a while, then they would move all car parks out of town.

All these decisions just seem to happen without any thought of the people of Jersey who live in the areas that they decide to but things like Car parks, Incinerator, compose sites & steam clocks. Its scandalous how they go about there business.

They need to go back to the drawing board on this one.

I think they should get quite a few of those old drawing boards out again. Don't You.

Enemy of the State

Bill Ogley.

I've Blogged About him & the suspension of the Chief of Police before.



I said is it all getting a bit to complicated & are the cracks appearing.



Well I think they are, when Mr Harper gets asked for his case note books & even his leaving cards, to be used for evidence against him & that they are relevant to the case.



So why is it that notes that were taken at the meeting to which they suspended the chief of police were deemed not relevant & were shredded by the person that rote them Bill & this act is deemed OK.



One rule for one & all that springs to mind. He was the one who took down the back drop at that press conference, when Senator Syvret wanted to have he's say. So he can over rule a Senator.

So why does our elected politicians or the majority of them vote against a internal inquiry into what this person has done, what is there to hide, if there's nothing to hide whats the problem.

Why was it deemed necessary to shred his notes , OK it was all written up afterwards but may be something is missed out, so you could of gone back to your notes. Everyone at school had notebooks to cross check.

It just does not add up. What are they hiding there must be something.

This person Bill Ogley must be the most powerful person in this Island. He's above the law, got the majority of our politicians behind him. Why are our Top Executive Officer's untouchable.

All the newly elected Deputies, Senator's & Constable's said we need change. But it does not sound as if anything is changing does it. As long as the Minister's, there assistant Minister's & all those Brown Nose half Witt's which make up the Establishment party are aloud to get away with wot they want we haven't got a chance.

We still don't know the real reason for Senator Kinnard resigning do we. That would be interesting reading of the notes that would of been taken down at that meeting. O of course they would of been shredded is well. That's States policy isn't it now. Notes not relevant.

For Jersey to be cleaned up of all spin & skannels I think our enemy of the state needs to be suspended & an internal inquiry started into all his actions over the years he's been employed as Chief Executive Officer. while his in charge of Jersey's going's on we can't move on in the right direction.

Cancer

When someone you know & love gets told they have cancer, you hope with all the drugs out there that your family member will over come this horrible thing.




My Mother in law was told just over 2 & a half years ago that she had cancer, the Doctors were saying how lucky she was, for it was so small. It was in her bone marrow & with drugs it will be managed.




Well she was the most active & loving mother in law, Granny you could wish for. Not many husbands would say that but I can, & very easy to because its the truth.




We were so alike it was uncanny, many years difference but I was born a day before her birthday it used to do my wife's head in with all the identical ways we had.



Those drugs that she had to take took they toll on her from very much the start of the treatment. Never been ill in her life & fit as a fiddle, many many more years left in her & I always said she would out live me.



Well she didn't like taking all those drugs but what do you do, then she got the post code lottery drugs & she just when down hill from there. Within 3 months the damage had been done.



It wasn't the Cancer that got her in the end but the Drugs that she had to take, that what was supposed to be controlling the cancer.


My wife is coping well, she has good & bad days as you can imagine it will take its time. Father in law, I think its just hitting him now that the Christmas period is over & back to the old routine of shopping with out his soul mate with him.


There is never a good time for something as horrible as losing a love one, but at Christmas it makes it 10 x as bad.

There's not a lot more I can say. Life is so unjust you don't know whats around the next corner.

Rest in piece E.

You will never be forgotten.

Suspensions.

Does it seem strange that the Home Affairs Minister can Suspend the Chief of Police because his under investigation for his handling of the haute de la Garenne Investigation.

But he CAN'T Suspend a Chief Executive Officer of an Education Department, who the police have formally declared to be under serious investigation for child abuse.

It does not seem to add up to me at all & one name that seams to come up all the time is Chief Executive Bill Ogley. Is this man the real person that's running the Island.

Or am I missing something here.

Question. !! What was the real reason for the former Home Affair's Minister, Senator Kinnard to resign, then for Chief Minister Senator Walker to appoint an out going Depute to the top Job.

Depute Lewis wont be around no more, so he's been used.

I wonder If it's all getting a bit to complicated & cracks are appearing, With email's getting leaked Left, Right & Centre out of our political offices. Like never before , what are we going to find out next. Can't wait.

Something is going on with our Senator Syvret, I Don't think his feeling to well at this moment in time, far to Happy in his Blog & it would of fitted on a Post card.

Hope you get better soon Stuart

Something not right or is Justice coming for Christmas.

Whistle Blowers.

After hearing Simon Bellwood on the radio this morning, I couldn't but think what is the point of whistle blowing.


With the Senator Ben Shenton saying the Grand Prix system was not being used & his the Health Minister. Then you've got Sacked employee, turned Whistle Blower saying it did. One word against the other. In court the Minister would be believed.


Apart from Senator Syvret there isn't anyone coming out & backing his claims. ie fellow work colleagues. So his on his own, Against the States.


Simon has said that his got the evidence but the Chief Minister won't look at it, even thou he said on Radio Jersey that anyone with evidence should get in touch & show him.


Why isn't there anyone backing him up from Green Fields. Well they don't want to lose there Jobs, do they.


But I can't under stand why all our Politicians are going with with the Minister's stance & denies it . Why would anyone want to cover up Child Abuse, unless it goes so deep they will bring down the Government & discredit the Old Boy Network that works so well.


Something is so Very Bad.


Now we've got some new States members in the House, will there be a change of attitude. If Senator Le Sueur gets to be Chief Minister, I don't think we've got a chance, but if Senator-elect Alan Brecken gets in & that's a Big If. We may just get that change.


But I won't hold my breath on that one.


The new States members have got some hard sole searching to do. Jeremy Macon is going to have to toughen up with out his Mum on board. How has tonight's news made him look like. He has to have his own mind , the people of St Saviour voted him in not his Mum.

Is He To Young.!!!!

Going back to Simon Bellwood & all this evidence his got, what does he think those two new Yes Men at our Police Station are going to do with it, file it in the bin properly.

Senator Syvret & Simon Bellwood need other States members 100% behind them, they need another Colleague from the Home to give evidence & the Police to be indipendent & not be run by the States. For Justice to be done. But can you see all that happening.

The Jersey Way will Win , which is not good for Jersey.

We Need Justice not cover ups.

Post Elections.

Well didn't the JDA do well. I bet old Southern's jumping up & down, Shouting F--k Off Ozouf again in the street. I just hope the T.V. are not around like last time.

Well Done to Montfort Tadier. He sounded good at the Senators elections, I went to the St Brelade No 2 Hustings & he was best out of that lot. He came across as very bright & informed.


Didn't you do well getting old Deputy Guy de Faye out. Brilliant, So shaving his beard off didn't fool you. What will he do now, go & say sorry to Puffin. !!! May be he could be a Bus driver, He could work at that STINKING GREEN WASTE SITE that he said doesn't smell. !!! He could go and work at the sewage plant.!!! But he'll probably end up as MD of our new Incinerator Plant. !!!! God Help US.


Anne Dupre I hope will be as strong as Baudain was.


Very well done to Jeremy Macon, Tracey Vallois, Trevor Pitman, Mike Higgins, Andrew Green, Deddie de Sousa, Judy Martin, Daniel Winderley, Phil Rondel & Edward Noel.


Now your work begins, It will be very hard for you at the start, to fight against the Jersey Establishment. But you have a good chance in numbers to fight against The Jersey Way & Old Boy Network. Be Strong.


I wonder how little Miss Katy Ringsdore is taken the rejection. OK she got 387 votes but how many of those votes were Ozouf's chum's.


I bet the father of the house Senator Stuart Syvret's not happy with old Deputy Rob Duhamel getting in, Topping the pole no less. (Boring Git).


Now we need Roy Le Herissier to put his Hat in the ring for Chief Minister. WE CAN'T BE HAVING SENATOR TERRY LE SUEUR . With that Voice & looks he should be in Doctor who.


Can you guess who he looks like to me.!!!



We will never be taken seriously again.


Was listening to the radio coverage last night & was thinking. Thank goodness Old Deputy Peter (did you know I'm in Mensa) Troy Had given up. (Useless Git).

That will do for now.

Elections.

Now its time for the Deputies, Some choice we've all got .



I've been to 2 Hustings & Listened to Sunday's Talk Back & I must admit I'm not impressed at all. Why are they there, they just don't Know what they are getting them self's in to, or are they just naive. Friend's have said it doesn't get much better either in the other Parish's.




With so mush going on at lest they should have a opinion on Parish issues & all major island wide issues, its not good enough for them just to say "I've not read the report so I can't comment".




The Howard League report Shows whats wrong with this Government. How can they say things didn't happen when the report says it did.




Or are they just going with the Jersey Establishment Party to get on the right side of them, so to get there votes, but I hope they don't get in.



There are a few good new candidates but not in every Parish. So the Electorate will go with who they recognize & the good old Jersey Establishment are back in Business.




I'm of the thinking that we should have one kind of member in the States, No Constables & 6 districts. So 41 Members & no Bailiff, just have a chosen speaker. All Members to be voted in on one day ( In the Summer, Like June) so hopefully more people would go out & vote.



People don't like going out in the winter. To dark, to Wet & to Windy for most people.



People need to be encouraged to vote, most people think whats the point, the same old lot will get in. This attitude has to change. Even if we fined people who didn't vote, there attitude may not change, But it may be an idea. Australia Do, Italy Do.




We have to change the stuffiness of the Parish System, you get well it must be about 95% of the people that turn up at Hustings are over 80 asking questions about "What are you going to do about Pavements, Parking, Hedge cutting, Bingo Nights, Football". Well may be not about Bingo Nights but you get my drift. When these people are going to be voting in the States about £106 million projects, that are going to be in the Wrong place, To Big & in our Capital. Then there is the Water Front !!.



Can anybody at this present Moment in time, tell me a good reason to have a finance centre.



Was that question asked at any hustings.



Who do they want as a Chief Minister got asked but not many choose to answer. Well they will go with the party line wont they. Lobby fodder.




Green ideas are good for the Island, but they will cost us a fortune, We pay enough Tax's in Duties for green issues. I would like to see Tidal Power but there's more Money.






So who do we choose, I think its a bit of a Lottery with this lot, will they get nobbled when they get in , that's if they get in, unless you take a chance we wont know will we. But it can't get much worse can it.



We need a new Government. NOW.

Blogging

I've voted since i was 18, But not been very vocal apart from asking questions at hustings.



But for the past few years I've noticed a lot of things happening that have been having an impact on my Life & on others. Polices Fast tracked through the states never mined about the people of jersey.



eg (GST, 20 means 20,) Lots more for later.



I got to here about Blogging 3 months ago & could not believe wot people were saying on them.



I would leave comment's on them, have my say fore & against, I started talking to people about Blogging & Thought lets have a go. so here l am.


I'm no computer nerd & I've not got any O levels, but I've got my own mind and I will speak out on subjects of political matters, I hope you will give me time to get my head around this Blogging.


I've got a open mind about most things & Big & Ugly enough to take criticism (hope not to much).

Go easy on me.! But I would love some Fead back.
