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...

Enough of this hysterical nonsense

  http://style.uk.msn.com/royal-baby/how-will-the-royal-baby-look-as-he-grows-up Media generated hysteria.                           This is too much. For the last 36 hours (thought it seems more like 36 days) there has been wall to wall news coverage, media and television comment and reporting, with Sky News taking first prize for frenzied minute by minute reporting from the Palace, the hospital, from a village somewhere in England, from the studio and anywhere else that Burley, Botting and company could stick a microphone into some obscure "celebrity's" face and ask for yet another banal quote. All this galvanising the mass hysteria of some elements of the public, (who the media would have you believe is the reaction of "the whole world",) with their flag waving, dancing, singing and cheering over what is after all, no more than a woman having a bab...

A perverse and rather sinister media obsession to discredit, smear and undermine Jeremy Corbyn

http://www.standard.co.uk/news/uk/venezuela-jeremy-corbyn-blasted-for-not-condemning-president-maduro-a3606156.html#commentsDiv Venezuela: Jeremy Corbyn blasted for not condemning socialist President Nicolas Maduro as violent conflict escalates There is a perverse and rather sinister obsesseion with the media and particularly television "interveiwers", in seeking to secure from Jeremy Corbyn a "condemnation" of some person or organisation or event. This time it is connected with events in Venezuela and the actions of President Nicolas Maduro and the bloody crackdown on protests against the result of last weeks poll which inaugurated a constituent assembly . The media "stories" and the interrogation by the television interviewers, are as subtle as a sledgehammer being nothing more than a variation on the "Have you stopped beating your wife yet?" question, which so many repoters use in order for them to make themselves appear very ...
