Being a politician is a pretty surreal experience on the best of days. It's never dull and even in Jersey we often find ourselves lucky enough to enjoy a political theatre that matches up to the excitement of other jurisdictions (or at least it does if you're a geek like me).
Today was strange.
Once again, our Chief Minister has gone abroad to represent the Island and meet representatives of other governments to promote Jersey. I have no problem with that.
Again, he has met with representatives of countries which have human rights records that are less than impressive. I also have no problem with that.
But what I can't get my head around is Senator Gorst's choice of words.
After meeting with Sheikh Ahmed bin Mohammed Al-Khalifa (the Finance Minister of Bahrain), he tweeted a picture of the two of them together with a caption saying he was "honoured" to meet him.
Really?
The Chief Minister has met some interesting people in his line of work. Whether they be Kings and Queens, Presidents and Prime Ministers, or even ordinary Jersey folk who have done extraordinary things. How does Sheikh Al-Khalifa match up to them?
He is not a democratic politician. He is a member of the ruling family of Bahrain which has been in charge for hundreds of years, ruling with an iron fist and having zero-tolerance for opposition.
Torture is widespread. Since the 2011 Arab Spring protests, a hundred dissidents have been murdered and thousands have been wounded. They even called in the Wahabist and ISIS-backing Saudi Arabian military to help them brutally put down these protests.
Basically, these people are really nasty.
Why is it an honour to meet someone like him? Why was this word necessary?
I get that part of diplomacy and politics means that you have to meet with people you disagree with. Sometimes it means meeting with nasty people if it's for the greater good. But what is the benefit of cosying up to people and inflating their ego by acting as if there isn't something fundamentally wrong with their agenda?
Sheikh Al-Khalifa and his tyrannical family have blood on their hands. It's not an honour to meet them. At best, it's just business.
But things got even stranger when States Members received an advance copy of a press release on this subject.
Here is the relevant bit -
The Chief Minister has also met with His Excellency Sheikh Ahmed bin Mohammed Al-Khalifa, who has been Minister of Finance in the Kingdom of Bahrain since January 2005. Minister Al Khalifa is also a member of the Development Committee of the World Bank Group and IMF.
Jersey and Bahrain have a long-standing relationship and the Chief Minister will be making an official visit to Bahrain later this year to enhance Jersey’s commercial and political links with the Kingdom.
Senator Gorst commented: “We place great importance on the Island’s positive relationship with the Kingdom of Bahrain, and I was pleased to be able to meet with His Excellency to discuss future opportunities for partnership between our jurisdictions.”
Apparently Jersey has a long-standing relationship with Bahrain.
Did you know that? I didn't.
Jersey does not have any people from Bahrain living in Jersey at all, according to the last census. I doubt many Jersey people live in Bahrain.
We have a long-standing relationship with France. We don't have one with Bahrain. It's just silly to say we do.
These comments just aren't serious.
Is it too much to ask that our leaders speak plainly and cut this sort of unnecessary BS? It just looks a bit silly.
If judicial corruption was on the agenda then I suspect both men had a lot to talk about. Perhaps they were trying to out-do each other boasting whose judiciary was the most corrupt?
ReplyDeleteWill you be speaking against Philip Bailhache's referendum wrecking motion?
ReplyDeleteDo you support 16 year olds standing for election and should there be an upper age limit to stand like 75?
ReplyDeleteTime you put a complaint to the authorities about Mr Denial Jon H. Busy talking to himself again attacking you for the minimum wage (and your hair!) on the Rag. Red25, Simply Sid and Peppa all answering himself. Never sure whether its even funnier than sad. You would think he would support an improved minimum wage. Should he ever get another job.
ReplyDeleteImagine what must go through someone's head when they sit behind a computer screen and log in and out of all of these accounts they've made to write this tripe.
DeleteBe making desperate live feed begging videos for votes next.
DeleteJon, I find the idea that you tuned in deeply disturbing. You need to seek help for your stalking problem.
DeleteHi Sam
ReplyDeleteAs you will probably know, the eyes of the world will be on offshore law firm Appleby this week:
https://www.theguardian.com/news/2017/nov/05/paradise-papers-leak-reveals-secrets-of-world-elites-hidden-wealth
Recall that Appleby, in Jersey, before the merger with "Appleby Spurling Hunter" was Bailhache Labesse.
In Jersey, Appleby = Bailhache Labesse.
https://www.thelawyer.com/issues/5-june-2006/applebys-and-bailhache-labesse-set-for-merger/
Being the Chairman of the group keeping an eye on the Care Inquiry have you been trawling through the evidence provided in witness statements? Loads of this will probably go AWOL in being officially archived but some of it that seems to have been brushed under the carpet by Bailhache and Co and the Jersey msm really demands some public exposure and questions. What do you think Deputy? It does show that those who run our judicial system are not fit for the role.
ReplyDeleteThe Scrutiny panel has been focusing so far on the response from the Council of Ministers to the Care Inquiry recommendations. There's a huge amount of detail to go through and questions to be asked to shift their position if need be.
DeleteIf you have any specific examples of evidence that you think we need to have drawn to our attention, please let me know. My private email address is smezec@hotmail.com
A very good place to start chairman would be the blog that the excellent Voiceforchildren did on the subject of Mr K as the Care Inquiry allowed him to call himself amongst others when he gave evidence as three different people and the former AG William Bailhache.
DeleteThis makes clear that we have evidence our AG of the time and now Bailiff falsly pretended in not prosecuting an accused individual that he had had glowing reports as to his job performace. The truth was he had not had any supervision reports. Ask yourself what this means if only for the victims?
Your panel could and should also look at the evidence given by the former police officer Mr Anton Cornelissin who revealed that the police were blocked in going after the former Vice-Principle of Victoria College subsequently given a job as a Royal Court Jurat regarding evidence he bullied at least one abused College boy in to silence.
Our current and previous two Bailiffs all looked the other way and allowed a man police described as of zero integrity to remain sitting in court for more than a decade. How can any court decisions such a man made be considered safe? How can we think people who allowed this to happen can be fit to preside over the States and control what politicians can and cannot ask or bring propositions about?
Thinking about another comment on this page have you noticed how a man described as in his 40s who wanted the Bailiff role ended has now suddenly started to wreck the removal? Godd luck.
Do you know if Reform Jersey will be asking questions as to why the holder of a States credit card on which significant amounts of inappropriate purchases were made was not charged?
ReplyDeleteEven more worrying from a taxpayer's perspective will anyone be asking the Chief Minister to put the public's mind at rest that the man in his 40s at the centre of all this was not himself a minister at the time?
Or will it all be swept under the carpet no questions asked? Thank you in advance for your time I appreciate that you are very busy.
There are definitely more questions to be asked on this.
DeleteLooks like you got your immediate karma for planting the Bahrain question.
ReplyDeleteWhat on earth are you talking about?
DeleteI too find all of these wrecking motions to prolong the dual role deeply disturbing.
ReplyDeleteIf the Bailiff has no political role as Philip Bailhache claims then why the obsession with remaining as president of the States?
Even with Gorst's deeply flawed propisition this would still allow the Bailiff the wholly unjustified position as civic head. It is all about power.
The above points about the current and recent Bailiffs in regard to false statements and allowing obviously unfit people to serve as Jurats only amplifies the need to rid the States of such individuals.
But which way will the vote go? Putting it off till the next assembly is as good as admitting it will never happen. Don't you agree?
I agree that the proposition doesn’t go as far as I’d like it to, but it’s not deeply flawed. It’s just less than perfect.
DeleteIf it is adopted it will be a hugely positive step forward for the Island.
Do you think it will get passed.
DeleteOn balance, probably not. But it’s not impossible. A lot of members have changed their position since the Care Inquiry report came out.
DeleteIt might help the odds if you raised the Mr K/Bailiff and dishonest Jurat points above in the question time right before the debate. Might wake a few of the snoozers and the toadies up in time to think about what an against vote will continue and get them to vote with the progressives like Reform.
DeleteThe troll must be worried what with one of his protectors departing office at the shambolic and unfit for purpose Data Protection Commission.
ReplyDeleteCould this be before the muck hits the fan about the deliberate massive delays in the delivery of subject data information requests from wronged people?
Hopefully it is correct that at last the handing out of tens of thousands of pounds of our money to a group including a convicted criminal is finally being investigated.
Have you noticed that in the JEP story on juvenile sexual offences a poster and so the JEP itself have broken the P19 law publishing that such young people should be drowned? Will the JEP and their reader be prosecuted though? Of course they won't. The P19 law is only there to silence investigative bloggers and enforce the dictatorship. Question in the States please as others are asking. Fully support the jurat issue being raised too. Don't know the details of Mr K and the former AG but sounds like a stonker too. Get on it Sam!
ReplyDeleteIf you know where Jon Red25, Peppa, Simply Sid, Tidler etc live could you please pop around and check on him? He is in emotional meltdown on the JEP echo chamber about the loss of Kommandant Emma.
ReplyDeleteThat bloke in his 40s is working overtime to try and wreck the ending of the dual role. Wonder why?
ReplyDeleteI guess he must be disappointed that his latest scheme has backfired pretty spectacularly!
DeleteDisappointed to see a number of things on and conspicuous by their absence regarding this week's Order Paper, I was going to come and sit in the public gallery as I do every now and again but don't think I will bother now.
DeleteFirstly the Dual Role debate is beinbg sabotaged in to a farce by the Bailhache Gang with these pathetic amendments.
Secondly not one question calling for explanation as to how we can support a judicial system that allows AGs to quote false evidence and individuals who helped cover up abuse to be Jurats.
Thirdly no questions about States credit cards abuse.
Fourthly nothing about what is going on with the new police chief.
Very pleased to see you and Higgins bringing up the Paradise Papers Appleby scandal. Well done chaps.
'Kommandant Emma'
ReplyDeleteIf this supposed to be a cras reference to Emma Martins it only shows why other States Members refer to you as infantile.
I didn’t call her that. Someone else did, you absolute cretin.
DeleteGiven all the abuse Tidler 25 calls people who fought for abuse victims or simply because they happen to be left leaning politically you have to laugh. In my opinion all of those proxies who should have launched a defamation case against Sybret but were instead brought together by Martins should have to pay the money back to the tax payers.
DeleteCan a Freedom of Information request be made about how many members of the public bullied and harrassed by JH have made complaints to the police?
ReplyDeleteEven more revealing how many of these complaints against the convicted criminal have had a blind eye turned to them by the authorities?
Good to see the target is getting hit tonight.
DeleteGet used to it Mezec.
I have no idea what that means.
DeleteSeems Red Tidler is now trying to impersonate Sotte Voce who regularly holds Troll Inc to account on the Filthy Rag.
DeleteHeard you looked uncomfortable at the cenotaph today.
ReplyDeleteWell they fought for Freedom of Speech which is something you can't handle.
From attacking victims of child abuse to politicising a remembrance service. Another example of what a vile sub-human you are.
DeleteI heard your latest scheme totally backfired on you. Bet that must hurt.
Are the dual role amendments going to be allowed to be heard before they should?
ReplyDeleteThe States will have to vote to decide whether they are allowed to be debated or not.
DeleteI’m sure that the States will vote against at least some of them being debated, otherwise we'd be there all month debating the proposition.
Being there all month or even past May 2018 is probably the point of these shyster amendments?
DeleteI don't understand Ozouf's latest one about the referenedum. Could you briefly clarify please if possible?
It's complicated. I’ll try to explain as best I can.
DeleteIf Bailhache's amendment is accepted, then there will be a referendum and if a majority vote in favour of change, then there will be change.
If Ozouf's amendment is successful, then the States will agree to end the dual role of the Bailiff, and this will be scheduled to go ahead, but there will be a referendum on the subject, which can stop it from happening, but only if a majority vote to stop it.
So, it’s basically its about default positions.
Bailhache’s amendment means the default position is that there is no change, unless the vote is approved. Ozouf's amendment is that the default position is that there will be change, unless the vote goes against (with an absolute majority of voters opposing it).
Hope that makes sense.
Yes. Thanks. But what a bloody farce. Why are our Bailiffs past and present so desperate to oversee the States?
DeletePower.
Hope you manage to stop all of this crap. Wish you had a few more people in there with you to tear it apart. People like Pitman(s) and Wimberley would have been a great help.
My bet is we will hear loads of members droning on about the importance of maintaining tradition. What an island. What a government.
There will be a handful who will decry the “anglicisation” of the Island, including some who are usually opposed to the Council of Ministers.
DeleteBut, believe it or not, the IJCI report has changed some member's views on this. I know a handful who will support it this time round who have previously opposed it.
It’ll happen one day. Maybe not tomorrow, but who knows. I’m an optimist!
I will be looking forward to your speech with bated vreath and trembling fingers. And a very large box of tissues.
ReplyDelete#jonhasgothissockon
Can a Freedom of Information request be made to 1) discover who the complainants against you are? 2) How many complaints have been made to the police about the troll stalking you by other members of the public?
ReplyDeleteYou going to send a request in about yourself?
DeleteLets remind ourselves, who has been reprimanded 3 times? Who needs social media training and who is the only person to be abusive online out of 49 people in the States? I'll ask Channel 103.
Forget his FOI, when are they doing Southern, can they ask whether he's ever broken the election law?
DeleteLet's remind ourselves, who has the criminal conviction for threatening to kill a politician's landlord and their family?
DeleteYes it is shameful that our elected States Member cannot even behave themselves online. Hope this is raised at all the Senatorial Hustings next Spring.
DeleteGiven Jon was saying a number of former politicians should be sectioned on the JEP and so breaching P19 I think that should be put to the police.
DeleteJon, I'm happy for my conduct to be raised in any forum. But just remember that when I defend myself it will necessitate naming you and pointing out that you're a criminal who has spent 5 years harassing me with these messages, whilst also attacking victims of child abuse. It's only by doing that that I can provide the appropriate context for my actions.
ReplyDeleteI think most people will sympathise with my response to you when they learn what a reprehensible person you are.
As for an FoI on Geoff's record - that will probably be denied as the answer is already clearly in the public domain. He helped a few old people apply for postal votes, which was a crime at the time, although it is no longer a crime because it was absurd to consider it an inappropriate thing to do.
"necessitate naming you and pointing out that you're a criminal who has spent 5 years harassing me with these messages"
DeleteYou won't even name this Jon properly on here and as if you can go and publicly abuse people like that when they will simply nail you for it, especially the Media. Your threats are worthless and childish.
I've named you lots of times on this blog. You've complained and each time been ignored because everything I've said has been true.
DeleteCan election candidates assist disabled people with completeing a request for a postal vote in Jersey now like they can in every other country in the world? When did this happen? About time if true. How could this be made law for just one Deputiy's election?
DeleteYes we can now. It’s crazy that it was ever illegal. If there was any justice then Geoff and Shona would have their fines refunded!
DeleteShows how the law is manipulated just to attack selected candidates. I remember how it was revealed that Geoff and Shona were not the only ones who breached the law but were the only two prosecuted.
DeleteI can even remember the debate date because I was ill at home listening in. Last one of March 2009. Prosecuting Attorney General was our current Bailiff. He appears very good at selective use of evidence.
Out of interest why was the law changed back? I know many people at the time claimed it was not Human Right's compliant. Was that the reason?
I didn't know about this change either. A very sensible move. Many disabled and/or elderly folk just would not be able to vote without caring candidates knocking on their door. I too would like to know when this was changed, why and where I can read the law or debate, if it was debated. Could you point me in the right direction if that is possible?
DeleteI’m sorry to say that I don’t know when the change was. I think it was before my time as a States Member. I think it may have been passed as part of a package of other administrative measures and without much of a fuss.
DeleteObviously was not Human Rights compliant then. How about a written question when you have one spare to find out? I seem to remember Deputy Bob Hill once asking that all of these laws passed as apparently being Human Rights compliant include a paragrapgh as to why this was so. Got nowhere with it of course.
DeleteAnd wasn't it Deputy Higgins who stated that when at Jersey Finance he and others were pressured to state that changes were Human Rights compliant even if they knew they were not? Bringing back Hill's proposition would be a good one for Reform I reckon. But the reasons for this postal vote law change would definitely be interesting to know.
The old boy three doors from us is 84 and not very mobile at all. If no one could help him with this sort of thing he would not be able to vote even if he wanted to. We need to show more understanding in our society.
Is it right that today's disgraceful referendum vote was done on a simple standing vote? if so why?
DeleteWho voted for this farcical referendum? can't find the vote names on the States website. Just says carried. Don't people even have a right to know anymore?
ReplyDeleteHere it is -
Deletehttp://www.statesassembly.gov.je/Pages/Votes.aspx?VotingId=4806
See Proudfoot is tearing your 25% tax rate to bits together with scores of oters. RIP
ReplyDeleteI'd be amazed if he even understood what it meant.
DeleteWorking with 'Otters' would be about this tax dodger's limit Jon. Given a great big spread by his fellow homophobes at the Rag to claim he didn't leave his former Swiss bolt hole to pay less tax wasn't he. Hilarious when it was pointed out to the former Treasury Minister Credit Card Phil several years ago by another Progressive Trevor Pitman that even Swiss millionaires had backed the change to make these parasites pay more. Time we put an end to this 'High Net Value' tax dodge once and for all.
DeleteAre you going to do a blog on the Bailiff whitewash?
ReplyDeleteNew post please, what about the budget?
DeleteWhy is JH 25Red getting so excited by your 25% tax amendment? He doesn't pay any tax if he doesn't go to work. I do and I'm fine with it. So long as the public services we get in return are good. And that we put an end to the 1 1 K tax abuse.
ReplyDeleteDam, been banned for sock trolling....
ReplyDeleteHas the Rag banned you? I see 25Deadhead is still hard (whoops!) at it agreeing with his left hand Peppa. Why does the Rag allow this? Answer: the Chicken Choker only attacks anti-establishment/progressive figures. If he ('they' chuckle, chuckle) attacked Lord Bellend he would be banned like a shot.
DeleteNo surprise.
DeleteYou keep on posting silly posts and trolling, you get banned from the JEP website, simples.
Has Simples Jon been banned then? His trolling comments appear throughout the day and night. Oought to try working for a living.
DeleteRed graham's tiddler is well and truly peppered with digger barnes!
DeleteBullying people online for having their own views gets you nowhere.
ReplyDeleteHave you not learnt anything yet Sam even after 3 reprimands?
Is this bullying here?
DeleteName this Jon wholly so that we know exactly who you are talking about and then they can respond. You've been doing this for ages and yet you never for some reason dare to take this person on head to head. Incidentally, you are the only elected States Member who has recorded reprimands for abusing people online, nobody else has, only you.
DeleteI’ve named you several times.
DeleteYour plan to embarrass me has spectacularly backfired. The people who have complained about me were abusing the complaints process to intimidate me because they don’t like that I stand up to racists and paedophile defenders.
Three complaints were wrongly upheld, but the new Commissioner for Standards will be more robust than PPC so it’s bad luck for you I’m afraid.
Just name him and stop pussyfooting around.
DeleteAs for plans, barely anybody knew about your 3 complaints for internet abuse 2 months ago but now that information has gone 1,000 fold with all the Media knowing for starters. Why are you a target because you've done sod all for protecting victims of paedophiles and no racists you call have ever been charged, so that's a load of crap. And for a States Member who vilified ex Dep. Le Cornu at one time for similar online behaviour you are nothing but a hypocrite taking the piss.
What does Reform Jersey think about Ozouf the Property Developer and the States reluctance to address the cost of housing?
ReplyDeleteAs a political Progressive and now Chairing the important Scrutiny panel overseeing what the COM does about the findings from the abuse inquiry have you ever read the written and verbal evidence from the former police officer Anton Cornelissen? If you haven't might I suggest you do. It is from Day 102 I think. If you have then can I instead ask why no questions have arisen from the shocking revelations Cornelissen provides? Dishonesty should simply not be tolerated in any justice system if children are to be safe.
ReplyDeleteRead it. A man, a well to do school deputy head, bullies a pupil who complains of being abused by another teacher in to silence. Then he is allowed to become a jurat while Bailiff and Attorney General turn a blind eye. The jurat keeps his title for life and nobody cares. Priceless.
DeleteThis is so old news. The Jervis Dykes case is almost 20 years ago, Jervis Dykes still teaches under a new name in London. I feel it is Trevor Pitman who still cannot get over losing his daft legal battle with Broadlands who is coming on here and adding to the immature nonsense. Nobody took any notice years ago so why today? Get a life ffs.
Delete"Jervis Dykes still teaches under a new name in London."
DeleteIf true that is BAD.
Surprised you are letting Jon the sock come on here doing his old news line, and attacking Trevor Pitman. Then again perhaps it is just jealousy. You never stood up on the bent Jurat angle Jon the sock thinks is old news. Mind you we haven't heard any questions from you on the Ozouf card issue yet either have we?
DeleteYou really do need to get a shrink around to Sharrock's. He is being Peppa Pig to link Reform to a story on toilets on the JEP. Thought the 47 year old sticky sock addict had reached rock bottom with his link to blond moles. If only you could find him a job. Or a real friend.
ReplyDeleteHe has become obsessed with someone called "Sotto Voice" and he seems to think that he has got this person banned, how would he know this?
DeleteHis messages under red tiddler peppa kingsman graham 73 digger barnes and others are the product of a sick mind, surprising that the rag doesn't take action or the police because it looks like harassment against one states member. If 25 red peppa etc reads this he will no doubt feel very important.
I worry about some of the fixated comments on here about the JEP.
DeleteBecause nobody reads it.
You and Trev Pitman had one thing in common at least. You both helped Jon fill his sock every night. If you two and Syvret had been in the States at the same time the poor old wino's ****s would have exploded with the excitement.
ReplyDeleteIs there much support for the 25% tax rate? Just getting finance to pay a fair share and scrapping 0-10 would make a huge difference.
ReplyDeleteNot sure you understand how 0/10 works. The 10% is applied to finance. It’s pretty much just finance that pays corporation tax now.
DeleteI think way more needs to be done to get businesses in other sectors into that 10% band, but finance is already in it.
Can't you and your best pal Pip Ozouf come to a mutual agreement on amending this?
DeleteThere’s more to it than that sadly. It’s all to do with EU rules that have put us where we are with this. Maybe that will change upon Brexit.
DeleteThe Rag runnning story on you and the complaints. Interestingly they don't point out all made by Troll & Co. Notice that only 3 out of 10 complaints upheld. Look out for a multitude of comments by the same scroat who abuses you on line like he has abused others for years. Time for a States member protection law and a police force that does its job?
ReplyDeleteIndeed, it would be impossible to provide impartial coverage of this “story” because it would inevitably require identifying some of the complainants who are either fascists or criminals. It’s fun to have a go at politicians in the press, but I doubt they’d have the guts to stick it to some of these deplorables.
DeleteEven though three complaints were upheld, they were wrong to be. One relates to me referring to a political campaigner as a racist because he stood up in a public forum and said we couldn’t let Arabs move to the Island because they'd rape our wives and daughters. Standing up to racism is a legitimate political action and PPC were misguided. The other relate to private disputes regarding a family matter where I just wasn’t very polite (given the circumstance, I was incredibly restrained). The new Commissioner for Standards has made it clear that those sorts of matters should not come under Code of Conduct complaints.
I’ve done nothing wrong and the rest of the complaints were coordinated from the racist Real Rock page as an attempt to intimidate me into silence. They’re a bit sore that it hasn’t worked.
My only mistake is that I chose not to press charges against one of them when the police asked if I wanted to when this person had been caught posing a demonstrable violent threat to my safety. It was a stupid mistake, but I’ve learnt my lesson and won’t do it again.
We're done for tonight now Jon. Time for your beddybyes I think.
ReplyDeleteJust remember, when you focus your attention on me, you’re not focusing it on victims of child abuse like usual. I'm okay with that.
We will never see house prices go down whilst vested interest Ozouf and his ilk invest in property development. They are all in it to make big bucks and do not give a FF if people struggle after.
ReplyDeleteThe pre-Christmas stress must be getting to our Jon H. He is now arguing with himself as 25Red, Peppa and his new incarnation Kingsman about Ozouf on the Rag.No doubt trying to convince himself these are different and real people. How he links every story to Reform is you have to say quite hilarious. Too much time on hands and not enough real people in his life.
ReplyDeletePoor old Sharrock. Now that the excellent Voiceforchildren seems to be on extended sabbatical Mr Red Tidler has nowhere to go with his obsessions but the JEP echo chamber. Makes a change from him and his two fellow lunatics chatting to each other on Politics Jersey with free screech using their two hundred fake IDs. If Reform Jersey really care about helping the needy they would help this social inadequate get a job. Surely the office loo needs cleaning?
ReplyDeleteThe news says Jersey folk drink a glass of wine a day. We need research about how much Stella Trolly McTroll face Jon drinks. Must double the rest of the island's intake?
ReplyDeleteShame this blog is spoilt with madcap comments.
ReplyDeleteWill Reform Jersey approve the Budget today?
Of course not. We’re the opposition.
Delete“Crooks” says the guy who gets drunk and threatens to kill people who look after people who campaign against child abuse.
ReplyDeleteAnd we didn’t vote in favour of the retail tax you cretin.
The above published just so people can observe how Howarth loses his temper and reacts when he’s shown for what he is.
ReplyDeleteJust as long as he keeps away from my landlord...
The unemployed goon keeps away from anyone he attacks in person. This worm is a keyboard warrioe only. A drunken, embittered, hate-filled social misfit not big enough to even abuse his victims in his own name.
ReplyDeleteWhat a strange fellow. He must be the same person who posts rubbish on the JEP site and then moans about "freedom of speech" and tries to get others banned. He is red tiddles 25 wanKingsman peppa, in case anyone hasn't yet clocked on. Amazingly, the JEP allows him to carry on his abuse, even though many complain about his behaviour. Most odd.
ReplyDeleteThe "25 graham 73 digger barnes who red peppers his tiddler with kingsman" seems to have succeeded at one thing on the JEP site- after much unpleasantness and threats to other people there, his abuse has effectively closed the comments section to all- a clear case of a minority spoiling it for the majority. The mystery remains- despite numerous complaints/self evident harassment of reform members, this person isn't banned but instead the JEP accommodates him by closing all comments. Does anyone know why this troll seems to be allowed to get away with his behaviour?
ReplyDeleteAbout time you updated your blog is it not? Regular stories keep people interested. Not as if there isn't enough judicial corruption going on in Jersey enver mind ministerial incompetence. With voiceforchildren closing down you could be picking up on the traffic.
ReplyDeleteTime for a new blog subject? Is your Scrutiny panel looking at the Care Inquiry recommendations still working? If so will any of you be asking questions on what the Chief Minister will be doing (nothing for certain) on revelations set out in sigificant evidence that successive Bailiffs have coluded with the protection of abusers, letting them serve both in the Honorary police and Court? Happy New Year and roll on the May election.
ReplyDelete"Time for a new blog subject?"
ReplyDeleteWho is going to bother to read it?
You.
DeleteJoking aren't you.
DeleteYou are either jumping on band wagons or insulting people.
Hardly a riveting read.
If it’s hardly riveting, why are you always on here?
DeleteBet you secretly love it.
Jon is on here because he supports people who cover up abuse being rewarded with the prestigous position of being a Jurat, and just as bad if not worse, people who actually abuse being allowed to stay on as Honorary police officers. Worrying isn't it. Even for someone with a conviction for harrassing people.
DeleteKingsman Jon, obviously taking five minutes off from his Red25 and Peppa fake avatars says on the Rag on line that money should be diverted from Overseas Aid to help locals like him who need foodbanks. What do you think? Is Overseas Aid funding too high? Surely we can divert some of the £5.000.000 unnecessarily given to Jersey Finance to help Jersey's poorest? And shouldn't those who make themselves unemployable like you stalker be put on some kind of States work scheme so they can actually do something positive for their benefits? Got be helpful in weening such people off the internet 24/7.

ReplyDeleteYou'll win that hands down.
The above sums up Reform Jersey, one big joke.
Thought you might have something to say about your former colleagues the Pitmans' press release? Says a lot that while Voice has tweeted it out our State media hasn't even reported on it. Talk about treat us like mushrooms in the interests of the Jersey way.
ReplyDeleteI've been on public record saying that I think that Le Breton should never have been made a Jurat and absolutely should not have been allowed to take part in the Pitman's case. That was a travesty and is symptomatic of the rot which lies in our establishment circles in Jersey.
DeletePitman Statement
ReplyDeleteMind boggling. But will any politician attempt to right a wrong? Hope I'm wrong but I doubt it.
DeleteIs Reform Jersey supporting Senator Ozouf's Housing Commissioner idea?
ReplyDeleteWe haven’t discussed his amendment yet.
DeleteGood speech yesterday and well done.
ReplyDeleteAre Reform Jersey standing any candidates in ST Mary and when do you launch your campaign, manifesto, etc?
I'm sorry to say that a candidate in St Mary is quite unlikely (unless someone wants to volunteer). But we will have a candidate in the Senatorial election which St Mary voters can vote for.
DeleteThe full campaign launch and manifesto will be at some point at the end of March.
Will you have a deputy candidate in St Brelade in the coming election?
ReplyDeleteWe will have two candidates in St Brelade No 2.
DeleteWe have no plans to contest St Brelade No 1, unless a decent prospective candidate makes themselves known to us soon.
