http://jerseyeveningpost.com/news/2016/06/12/le-squez-housing-plan-cancelled-after-appeal/ Le Squez housing plan cancelled after appeal Some of the residents of Sarina Avenue, Le Squez Planning permission for States housing (or council hoses to anyone not living in Jersey), has been cancelled after local residents appealed on the grounds that the development would block the light into their gardens, There is a chronic housing shortage in Jersey in both the affordable homes and in the rented sectors. On an island only 9 miles by 5 miles, the average price of a 1 bedroom flat is £214k and a 3 bedroom house is £527k. (Figures from States facts. 2015). In Jersey, as in mainland UK, many families both now and in the future will never be able to afford to purchase a home, and consequently will be reliant on the provision of States Housing. Most people recognise the need for social housing. The question is where should it be developed?

More at home in the Conservative party? The Labour leader Ed Miliband has ordered his MPs to back the cap on overall welfare spending. This instruction to elected MP's, or at least the reasoning behind the order, demonstrates how far the Labour Party and its leadership has drifted away from the traditional base and principles of the Labour movement. Were this directive, enthusiastically endorsed by Balls and supported by the entire front bench of the Parliamentary Labor party, based on any sound economic benefit, then there may, just may, be some grounds for supporting such a policy. However, there is no such economic reasoning and the Labour MP's at least the majority of them, will troupe into the "Aye" lobby in support of the ConDem coalition and their Tory m...

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. 

Sun Sea & Satan View video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lq6lJsBz9UY Filmmaker Bill Maloney You may not have watched this video. It is an interesting 59 minutes. The "beeped" comments at 34.30 "AUDIO INTERVIEW: Three senior citizens of Jersey tell their story about a major serving politician" section, refers to the story which is common knowledge on the Island, and has also been related to me by many friends and acquaintances in Jersey.  The documentary was made some years past, (2008) and the members of the States have changed since then. It is well documented in other places that there is a "secrecy culture" within the Jersey "establishment" and within the Jersey States, which has made victims of both former Jersey politicians and police investigators who have been discredited and removed from office. The victims of the "Historic Child abuse" have yet to achieve justice and many ordinary people of the Island ...

http://www.guardian.co.uk/politics/2012/oct/26/government-building-standards-review-regulation#start-of-comments Regulations including fire safety and wheelchair access could be torn up in an attempt to cut costs for the construction industry   A return to shoddy "Jerry built" houses and flats is the most likely outcome of this latest round of government lunacy. "Self regulation" of the building industry will only produce the same results as all the other self regulation schemes.Companies are not philanthropic organisations and will take whatever short cuts they can in order to increase their profits. Unfortunately, sooner of later, the removal of building regulations will result in one or more tragedies.

http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/government-plans-to-cut-thousands-of-health-and-safety-inspections-8120984.html Hundreds of thousands of businesses are to be exempted from health and safety inspections under moves announced by the Government today.  This is not "a radical plan plan to curb red tape". It is a plan to expose workers to potential workplace dangers in "hundreds of thousands of businesses" where unscrupulous employers are driven by the greed to make more profit, at the expense of the safety of their workers, who will have no recourse to law. How much these "hundreds of thousands" of companies have contributed to party funds in order to promote this new legislation is a matter of speculation. Do not be confused or pushed into accepting the government myth that these measures are solely  to protect business from "compensation culture" claims. The first and foremost consideration is, as it has always b...

  http://www.guardian.co.uk/uk/2012/jun/28/jersey-secrecy-culture Graham Power claims he was punished for daring to investigate allegations against some of the island's power players The Jersey "Establishment" are a very secret society and are more powerful and influential than can be imagined. The scandal of Haut de la Garenne and the wider "Historic Child Abuse" investigation are only the tip of a very large iceberg. Planning decisions,building activities, states housing, changes of use, criminal investigations and much much more, have never resulted in anything more than a letter to the editor in the Jersey Evening Post. As someone who lives on the mainland but frequently travels to the Island to visit friends, it never ceases to amaze me that these activities are rarely if ever discussed, but strangely seem to be widely known. It is as if a collective fear of reprisal grips the ordinary Jersey person. It is for example, "rumored" that a...

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/  Cameron to urge debate on welfare pay-outs. THE REAL OBJECTIVE IS TO DISMANTLE THE WHOLE WELFARE SYSTEM IN THE UK. Cameron, Duncan Smith,Osborne and the rest of the evil conspirators in the Tory ranks should really come clean and stop fishing for public support by popular sound bites. Their real objective in the medium to long term, is the complete scrapping and destruction of the welfare system in this country.

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-London-2012-Olympics  This problem has been predicted since "the games" were awarded to London, but its roots go back over decades. The provision of social housing (not to be confused with the myth of " low cost affordable homes"), has been abandoned by governme nt and local authorities alike, leaving the private rented sector very much to its own devices Paradoxically, in the present economic crisis, a programme of requiring all local authorities to provide a given number of social housing units would create employment and generate growth in other sectors and go some way to alleviate the housing crisis in the country. It is a pity for all of us that we have a government committed to the failed policy of austerity and cuts.
