I think on reflection even Ian will come to acknowledge that the image was not thought through in terms of the negative impact it could have. I think Ian should consider that his use of the image may well of distracted from the very real concern he was raising. Thanks for removing it Trev.

He is not even liked by most people I know down in Maupertuis Lane.It is a bit odd that having lived down here in St. Clement for 30 years or something that he has so little faith in his ability to stand though.

As requested this will be focus on nominations night.As regards the election the response around the district to the October election has been really encouraging these first few days. <br /><br />The feeling that we, the ordinary people of this Island, need to take it back from the tax dodgers and the fiscal incompetents like Senators Ozuf, Le Sueur, not to mention the likes of Horsfall, Walker and Andres Lewis currently behind so many of the Establsihment Party stooges being dropped in to stand against 'progressives' has been loud and clear. The spin is no longer beeing bought.<br /><br />Also, thanks to you know who for the photo and the documentation. Should make fascinating reading when the time is right. A bit like when I name the right-wing politicians the troll has been naming and blaming to all and sundry (including to me)in his druknen phone calls. <br /><br />Bullying always comes back to haunt such people in the end and people must never give in to such cowards.<br /><br />Keep the faith<br /><br />TrevorTrevor Pitmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15197434138079787935noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2356563206883049966.post-73199015743723588952011-09-11T10:42:27.312+01:002011-09-11T10:42:27.312+01:00Submission by Tom Gruchy to Senator Philip Ozouf’s...Submission by Tom Gruchy to Senator Philip Ozouf’s Blog dated 9 September 2011 regarding Lime Grove House – St Helier. <br /><br />“I have attended most of the Scrutiny hearings regarding this failed project and been impressed by the professionalism of expert witnesses.<br />On the other hand, I have been appalled at the blustering and bullying attitude of yourself and the inconsistencies of your evidence.<br />In spite of the large team assembled by your Treasury Department to support you and your actions I have heard more than enough to convince me that your decision to abandon this project was wrong.<br />Your decision is certainly not supported by the spurious reasons offered before the Scrutiny Panel or the written statements offered by you since.<br /><br />The financial loss to the public of Jersey by your personal decision could be many £millions and this is of course particularly blameworthy since you are forcing cuts and your CSR policies elsewhere.<br /><br />The further delays in providing adequate accommodation to an already demoralised Police department is just one part of the considerable practical, public loss arising from this and related developments.<br />The reputational damage that has been caused to so many by your words and actions must also be considered and it is possible that legal actions will follow from those who have been damaged.<br /><br />All in all, I hope that you will take the earliest opportunity to step back and to reconsider your ministerial position.

Thanks for the post. Yes I will d...Hi<br /><br />Anonymous. <br /><br />Thanks for the post. Yes I will definitely be putting up a thank you post to Janine - my propoer - and the other nine who kindly signed the paper very soon. Like you I thought it was a very good speech. <br /><br />What was funny - in a nice way - is that unlike many of the speeches which candidates quite openly acknowledged that they had written for their proposers, Janine not only wrote her speech herself but I had not even seen it until twenty minutes before she read it out! So if you thought I looked a bit nervous that is why!<br /><br />As far as your comments on the speech from former Senator Horsfall I have some very interesting information on this. I will likely be putting up a post about this soon. But as I said to him last night. He is right. The fight back does start here. <br /><br />Just not in the way he thinks. It is time that ordinary working people took our Island back from these greed-driven, elities incompetents who have taken us to the brink of the Abyss. And we will. <br /><br />Other Anonymous. <br /><br />You ask about the post from Tracey D. The post isn't offensive - unlike some I have to block. So I am happy to put it up. It is a bit cryptic I agree. But I also know some of the background to what she is referring I think so I fully understand where she appears to be coming from.<br /><br />Indeed, if one particular IT 'consultant' ends up being made redundant by his employers it has to be said that he really has brought it on himself.Trevor Pitmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15197434138079787935noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2356563206883049966.post-5754434422286944362011-09-08T17:29:27.464+01:002011-09-08T17:29:27.464+01:00Hello Dep.

It was really nice to see someone working in our Finance industry getting behind the type of politician who this island really needs to sort out the mess Ozouf, Walker and co have made of Jersey. <br /><br />Bang goes another myth spread by the establishment party that all of us in Finance want more brainless numpties in the mould of Horsfall and the rest. They have bled working people dry long enough. This young lady got it spot on in saying why she was supporting you.<br /><br />I would also like to say well done to Chris Wakeham MBE. Shona is so right what an absolute political legend this great lady is. The fact that someone like Mrs Wakeham is backing Shona says it all. Working people want other working people who like Mrs Wakeham said about Shona DO, not just talk aout doing.<br /><br />People don't want plastic fakes like slimey Bryans and the man with the orange face from Trinity. Most of all we don't want Terry Le Main who is already trying to cover up his laziness by conning people that he has a gammy leg so can't knock on all of their doors!<br /><br />Roll on October 19th. egards to all progresives.<br /><br />AJAJnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2356563206883049966.post-89473380069119587072011-09-07T17:25:21.581+01:002011-09-07T17:25:21.581+01:00Hello
