Lenny Harper's investigation "negatively impacted on the force"

http://jerseyeveningpost.com/news/2016/05/20/police-regret-appointing-lenny-harper/ Police ‘regret’ appointing Lenny Harper "Top Cop" Lenny Harper Harper was not prepared to "Toe the official line" during his enquiries in his period in charge of the investigation into the historic child abuse. His enquiries led in many directions and upset ( or frightened) too many people who form the "establishment" in Jersey. A mouthpiece now trots out the absurd line that "Mr Harper had an ‘astonishing attitude’ to dealing with the media, which negatively impacted on the force", as part of the ongoing campaign to smear and undermine  the work Harper did during his time in Jersey. It clearly evidences, that in Jersey, the image of the States Police is of far more importance than establishing what events took place at Haute de la Garrene and other places across the island. Harper is being subjected to the same vilification and denigration that has ...

The United Kingdom gives £ millions in aid while the ordinary people starve.

http://www.independent.co.uk/news/business/news/indias-economy-about-to-take-off-as-finance-minister-unveils-budget-that-puts-boosting-growth-before-painful-reforms-10077626.html       India's economy 'about to take off' as Finance Minister unveils budget that puts boosting growth before painful reforms India's Finance Minister Arun Jaitley (centre) poses as he leaves his office   Indian government economic policies which are geared to make the rich and the wealthy businesses even richer. At the same time millions of ordinary Indian people live in abject poverty in over populated shanty towns and poor villages across the sub continent.   A rotten and corrupt government who have a large space programme, a nuclear weapons capability, an ever expanding military and a very wealthy "establishment" in control. The irony is that we, the United Kingdom, pour £millions into their country every year. The tax payers of this country fund t...

Blair and Gaddafi conspired over dissidents.

http://www.theguardian.com/politics/2015/jan/23/-sp-blair-gaddafi-letter-thanks-spy-cooperation-libya-uk-dissidents  Revealed: how Blair colluded with Gaddafi regime in secret This revelation should come as no surprise to anyone. Blair was involved in and even instigated numerous breaches of human rights and abuses of power ranging from renditions, Guantanamo Bay and illegal invasions to stopping criminal investigations into corruption and the excesses of government departments . He is perhaps one of the most culpable alleged war criminals never to have faced trial and yet he still exerts influence in British political and social circles. His involvement in the Middle East, both in his role as "Peace Envoy" and his cosy relationship not only with Gaddafi, but also with other equally repugnant regimes in the region are well known and have been the subject of comment and speculation for many years. Today, notwithstanding all the mounting evidence to the contrary,...

The corrupt fraudsters within the banks must be prosecuted.

http://www.theguardian.com/business/2014/jul/28/bank-of-england-lloyds-bailout-funding Lloyds fined £217 million over Libor rigging Lloyds Bank The bankers should be subject to criminal law the same as everyone else. It was not "the bank" which corrupted the Libor rates and made huge profit from the speculation. It was specific individuals within the banks who conspired together and committed a crime. They went on to re introduce the obscenity of awarding themselves large bonuses and at the same time, carried on receiving payouts from the British tax payers. A benefit claimant would be hounded and persecuted for wrongly claiming a few pounds in benefits and yet "the bank" can receive £ millions and nobody says a word.   These corrupt fraudsters, must be prosecuted and jailed if trust in our banks is to be restored.

FIFA: Corruption allegations will not go away.

However, it has emerged that FIFA will not examine "new evidence" concerning the most recent allegations, preferring instead, to only consider the Michael Garcia report, due in about 6 weeks time. The organisation and management of international football reeks with the stench of decay and corrupt practices. The football management and media in countries around the world, cry out for reform and cleaning up the rotten mess which is FIFA, but there seems to be nothing that anyone can do to bring about the necessary change.

FIFA, Qatar and the "awarding" of the 2022 World Cup Finals.

On May 16th last, I wrote: "Sepp Blatter Says Awarding Qatar 2022 World Cup Was A 'Mistake' Clearly, the other "bidding nations", were unable to provide  sufficiently high levels of "donations",  to the "FIFA benevolent fund for the rehabilitation of destitute players and managing body officials".

2022 World Cup award was a mistake.

More delays to the "Independent Jersey Care Inquiry" ?

  Has the "Independent Jersey Care Inquiry" actually started?   The former children's home Haut de la Garenne 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 ...

Dorset Music Group snubs Bahrain F1 Grand Prix, Bernie Eccleston and the al-Khalifa regime

  http://www.dorsetecho.co.uk/news/11094006.VIDEO__Dorset_musical_group_snub_Grand_Prix_over_human_rights_concerns/ Dorset musical group snub Grand Prix over human rights concerns magic drum orchestra  A DORSET musical group has snubbed an invitation to play at a prestigious Formula One Grand Prix over concerns about human rights violations.   A big well done to The Magic Drum Orchestra, for taking a stand against the barbaric al-Khalifa regime and its excesses against the people of Bahrain. On Friday, 20 April 2012, I wrote in this Blog, under the heading of "CANCEL THE BAHRAIN GRAND PRIX " the following text, "Principle is more important that money. Ecclestone and the Bahrain Royal family grab the kudos, while the Bahrain security forces backed by the Saudi forces, continue to oppress and kill  protesters. CANCEL THE BAHRAIN GRAND PRIX " The oppression and civil rights abuses against the people and protestors in Bahrain continues unabated today...

Another round in the Jesey "witch hunt".

http://www.channelonline.tv/channelonline_jerseynews/DisplayArticle.asp?ID=509935 The latest Stuart Syvret court case 'pending' Former Health Minister Stuart Syvret   The witch hunt continues. A vindictive and spiteful States "establishment" determined to silence someone who dares to stand up to the excesses, duplicity and sinister secrecy of the politicians, police and judiciary. The very sad thing about the whole "States verses Syvret" story, is that there is a substantial number of islanders who actually believe the "establishment" propaganda, that Former Health Minister Stuart Syvret is "the bad guy", rather than those past and present politicians, civil servants and public figures who are the real villains. 

British Royal family condones a barbaric, medieval autocracy

http://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/2014/02/19/prince-charles-sword-dance-pictures_n_4814227.html?utm_hp_ref=uk#comments  Prince Charles Criticised For Taking Part In Saudi Arabian Sword Dance Prince Charles taking part in an "Ardah"   Perhaps Charles discussed and crticised the Saudi involvement in the savage repression of protestors in Bahrain.(Which remains un reported in the western press and media). The Saudi role in the Syrian civil war was also on the agenda for discussion no doubt as was the bribery and corruption associated with the lucrative arms trade between the United Kingdom and Saudi Arabia. For as long as Charles Windsor and the rest of his family support and give comfort to the barbaric regime in Saudi Arabia and other countries with a similar record of repression and abuses of human rights, then so shall such regimes be given a charade of credibility. The Saudi Royal family have been made welcome visitors at Buckingham Palace and Downing Street for...
