Jersey abuse enquiry. Prevarication, delay and now reporting restrictions

Concerns about delayed historic child abuse inquiry.

A Jersey politician is raising concern in the States next week about the delayed Inquiry into historic child abuse. Deputy Trevor Pitman wants to know when abuse victims can expect the investigation to start.
It's been postponed after the newly appointed chairman Sally Bradley QC had to withdraw due to ill-health. Deputy Pitman will be asking the Chief Minister what progress has been made in finding a replacement.

There is a story noted on the front page of "channelonline.tv"

It is not possible to link in with any details, or to find any other reference to the story on either this channel or on the BBC local channel or even in the Jersey Evening Post. No matter how much the "establishment" in Jersey may wish to keep many odious details of this obscene scandal secret and no matter how much prevarication and delay they may throw into the investigation, the story is "in the public domain" to a wider audience than the 85,000 or so people who inhabit the island. Perhaps the next step in the imposition of censorship and control is to ban listening to or watching any news programmes, or reading any papers emanating from outside the island. The Germans imposed such restrictions between 1940 and 1945, and I am sure that if they thought that they could get away with it the Jersey "authorities" would apply the same controls now.

Northern Ireland and Brexit. The return of "The Troubles"

Northern Ireland: police attacked in another night of disturbances | Northern Ireland | The Guardian When the "Brexit" debate was still filling our newspapers and our television screens, readers may remember why I had changed my mind since voting to leave at the referendum vote. Apart from the economic arguments, which had become crystal clear after peeling away all the lies and misrepresentations trotted out by Bozo Boris and his "Get Brexit Done" conspirators, there was always the problem of the border between Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland. Would it be possible to have a border between the European Union and the United Kingdom where people, goods and services could pass freely between the two nations without customs restrictions, tariffs, duties and all the other formalities? Would it be possible to have one part of the United Kingdom treated differently from other parts of the United Kingdom, particularly when Scotland for example had voted overwhe

The Parliamentary Labour Party conspirators are hatching another coup.

However, amongst all the usual speculative delusion, there is one factor which causes concern to anyone who believes in the Labour Party, its principles and in he democratic process of the Labour movement. It is abundantly clear that elements within the Parliamentary Labour Party, are even now, planning another coup in the event that Jeremy Corbyn should emerge as winner in the current ballot. The failed coup of earlier this year, has now descended into a sham leadership election, because the conspirators still fail to accept the democratic decision of the Labour party membership and cling to

Plemont development or return to nature?

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-jersey- A date has been set for a public inquiry into plans for Plemont Headland. This exceptional location must be sold to the National trust for Jersey, and returned to nature. Any other outcome involving development of the site, can only demonstrate the extent to which greed and self interest have become endemic in Jersey.
