More delays to the "Independent Jersey Care Inquiry" ?

 

Has the "Independent Jersey Care Inquiry" actually started?

On the 16th March last, I wrote in New Agenda under the title of,  "The prevarication and delay of the last three years is finally over? 
( http://new-agenda2012.blogspot.co.uk/2014/03/the-prvarication-and-delay-of-last.html)
"At last a starting date for the long delayed "Independent Jersey Care Inquiry" is set to begin on 3 April.
It remains to be seen whether, over the next three weeks, any more "points" will be found which will "have to be clarified",  before the inquiry can actually begin."

 There seems to be a distinct lack of media coverage in Jersey, as there has been no mention of the start of the inquiry, as far as I am aware, in the Jersey Evening Post, Channelonline tv, or any other media outlet that I am aware of.
Has this long overdue inquiry been delayed yet again?
It would be stretching the bounds of credibility even further if more "investigations" are required before the proceedings can actually commence.
However, when it comes to concealment, prevarication and cover up, the Jersey "establishment" are expert in the art of diverting the spotlight away from exposure.

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 ...
