Where he misses the big picture is in relation to the real meaning of the democratic political process. He seems unaware that real democracy is, by its very nature, essentially messy. Those often passionate conflicts along with the ongoing raw renegotiation of power inherent to any representative government permit little of the refinement of the well mannered feudalism that Jersey still clings to, and which he demonstrates an uneasy attachment to. His political columns will too often be critical of style over substance in subtle but predictable ways, as when good manners and proper bearing are of serious concern to him even when issues of systematic corruption should be of primary concern. <br /><br />For example, he all but dismissed every profound issue Stuart Syvret brought to the public's attention because of Stuart's tone, or what Tony considered unforgivable manners. The overall crisis of Jersey corruption, the reprehensible mistreatment of abuse survivors, and the shameful institutional disregard for human rights norms are not subjects he is usually comfortable confronting head on. Although he has surprised me with a good, if narrow, political overview on a few occasions, he generally offers an admirable analysis of only those safely discrete micro-components of each political controversy whilst tip-toeing around the fuller, more compelling picture. On other subjects his writing is often remarkably good, but his unwillingness to see and address the greater truths in Jersey politics regularly leave me disappointed and bewildered. I say disappointed, because he has the persuasive literary skills to do so much good on behalf of so many.<br /><br />Unfortunately, it is not uncharacteristic of him, then, to have a go at someone who tries to introduce the most uncomfortable - but absolutely essential - issues to Jersey's already censorious political conversation. <br /><br />ElleAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2356563206883049966.post-91677398857966407032013-01-17T22:38:18.047+00:002013-01-17T22:38:18.047+00:00Hey Trev, something to pull that LIAR Ian Gorst ab...Hey Trev, something to pull that <a href="http://therightofreply.blogspot.com/2013/01/victims-gagged-after-gorst-promised-no.html" rel="nofollow">LIAR</a> Ian Gorst about!

Your observations of Philip Bailhache seem right on the money and the Jersey public are going to be duped into an even less accountable government than what we have now. Just about all members will end up being a Minister or Assistant Minister, and in the absence of an independent media there will be nobody to question the Ruling Elite.<br /><br />Your observations on the bungling Home Affairs Minister are pretty much on the money also "money" being the operative word. He has been able to spend millions of £'s on so called "disciplinary" investigations that have not brought a single disciplinary charge against ANY officer. Indeed his so-called "disciplinary" investigations have been possibly more accurately described as a <a href="http://voiceforchildren.blogspot.com/2012/01/inside.html" rel="nofollow">"PERSONAL VENDETTA"</a>.<br /><br />Gradwell being hailed as a Whistle Blower by the discredited and disgraced JEP is just priceless. Ian Le Marquand should be spending some of those millions on a criminal investigation into whether he (Gradwell) was paid for allegedly leaking confidential police information to a churnalist with a history of supporting convicted paedophiles during a live Child Abuse Inquiry particularly in light of the MET Officer who's just been found guilty in a court of law for similar actions.<br /><br />voiceforchildrenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16825129148579102037noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2356563206883049966.post-86480012078441982382013-01-16T15:39:52.714+00:002013-01-16T15:39:52.714+00:00Have you seen poor old Tony B's rant?
