More delay for Committee of investigation in Jersey?

http://www.channelonline.tv/channelonline_jerseynews/displayarticle.asp?id=503306  Debate scheduled for today has been postponed until February 19th. H istoric care home abuse inquiry . Haut de la Garenne   It should come as no surprise to anyone that the terms of the proposed Committee of Inquiry isn't robust enough. Nor should it be surprising that the debate scheduled for today has been postponed until February 19th.   Members voted in favour of an inquiry  The whole scandal of the Historic Child abuse investigation  is littered with delay, ineptitude, attempts to cover up facts, discredit witnesses, victims and investigators and protect the perpetrators of the abuse and reluctance to pursue the matter with the determination it demands. More delay and prevarication is only to be expected. The sinister question which refuses to go away and repeatedly emerges from the mists surrounding this matter, is "Why are the Jersey Authorities and e...

The strange case of the disappearing news programme. Part 2

"Inside Out", the South West Channel Islands version, was shown on CI BBC One last night at 19:30   (Monday 10th December 2012) and contained a 15 minute report on the Savile/ Haut de la Garenne connection, together with interviews with victims, Lenny Harper and Home Affairs Minister Ian Le Marquand . http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QlDsA8_1uJY&feature=g-high-u This programme was screened last night. It was "missing" earlier this morning leading me to speculate upon sinister activities at the BBC in cahoots with the "authorities" in Jersey. Perhaps I did, on this occasion, do them both an injustice,  for which I am truly sorry. The content of this video, covers in the first section, more revelations on the Savile/Haut de la Garenne connection. The interview with Senator Ian Le Marquand is fascinating as he turns evasion and waffle into an art form. Unfortunately, the interviewer allows him off the hook. We have not heard the last of the Je...

The strange case of the disappearing news programme.

"Inside Out", the South West Channel Islands version, was shown on CI BBC One last night at 19:30   (Monday 10th December 2012) and contained a 15 minute report on the Savile/ Haut de la Garenne connection, together with interviews with victims, Lenny Harper and Home Affairs Minister Ian Le Marquand . Home Affairs Minister Ian Le Marquand .  I have been trying to find the recording of the Channel Island's "Inside Out" which was shown on BBC Television last night at 19:30. It contains the full report of the lead item on the CI News and has an interview with Senator Ian Le Marquand. His wafflin g and evasion of the questions is indicative of how the whole issue of historic child abuse in Jersey has been dealt with by the authorities in their attempts to cover up facts, discredit witnesses, victims and investigators and protect the perpetrators of the abuse. I shall continue with trying to find a video of the programme as it also has interviews ...

Jersey abuse inquiry may start in 2013.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-jersey-20111866 An inquiry into historical child abuse in Jersey should be up and running next year, according to the chief minister. Senator Ian Gorst Senator Ian Le Marquand: The  inquiry must be conducted by an independent outside body, or run the risk of being branded as yet another cover up by the Jersey establishment. A vague reference from Ian Gorst that an inquiry may start in 2013 could be viewed as yet more prevarication. Enough time has already been wasted in the pursuit of justice, and people have already had their reputations blackened by the campaign of lies distortion and misinformation generated by the vested interests in Jersey.  On Wednesday 24th October, it was reported that Senator Ian Le Marquand had said that the enquiry would re open if "any new leads" were uncovered. Since then, almost on a daily basis new allegations and revelations are reported in the press and on television. That...

Another can of worms.

http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/crime/revealed-jimmy-savile-investigated-for-bbc-sex-attack-in-1980s-8226777.html Police had suspicions about presenter 20 years earlier than previously thought   For decades, this pervert seems to have been immune from prosecution. More than 6 different police forces were aware of allegations against him but in each case it seems that there was insufficient evidence to pursue a prosecution and investigations were dropped. The number of  investigations where  "insufficient evidence"  resulted in no further action, is stretching the boundaries of coincidence to the extreme. It seems to me that there was, and continues to be, an extensive cover up and concealment of truth in respect of Savile's activities and the involvement of others.  

BBC investigations must not take centre stage.

  http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/news/4608212/Savile-lair-raided-amid-fears-20-abused-there.html Police swooped on Jimmy Savile’s country hideaway yesterday. Jimmy at his home in Glencoe The investigations at the BBC, must not be allowed to overshadow the wider issues. Savile, and all those involved with him, either in the cover up of his activities or actively involved with him, must be identified, exposed and prosecuted no matter who they are or what their position in society may be. The victims of this creature and his circle,  deserve some measure of justice.

Jersey abuse inquiry 'may reopen'.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-jersey-20043564  Senator Ian Le Marquand dismissed suggestions that an outside force would need to be called in. Senator Ian Le Marquand:  Home Affairs Minister Even before a new reopened enquiry gets off the ground, the States establishment, this time in the form of Senator Ian Le Marquand, the islands home affairs minister, leaps up to dismiss claims from Lenny Harper the former deputy chief police officer, that the government had too much control and that someone was needed with an outside perspective.  Le Marquand said that the enquiry would re open if "any new leads" were uncovered. Since the ITV documentary "Exposure" was screened earlier this month, new leads and revelations have been published almost on a daily basis and some of those have a direct connection with Jersey. It is evident to all, except perhaps senator  Le Marquand, that the original enquiry on the island left numerous unanswered questions, and...
