I can tell you that it has now appeared rather later than I would have expected. <br /><br />But I can also tell you that a comment I posted the same day praising Shona for bringing the Condor issue to public attention however has still not been published. I have to wonder why as they have a whole raft of negative comments up which have all the trademarks of the Jersey troll.

Stuff that has him stating that 'he doesn't know me' and apparently 'has no interest in my politics'. With it I will enclose some truly fascinating evidence demonstrating just what a threadbare liar the person clearly is. <br /><br />This being evidence from both myself and others that shows I am actually an obsession in this sad individual's life. Indeed, an obsession and target for his hate surpassed only by his obsessions with Lenny Harper, Stuart Syvret and Gaham Power.

I would have to concede that this would have to be a posibility unless there was a very good reason. Otherwise why not go 'public' unless there is something 'dubious' somewhere in what one is attempting? <br /><br />The big concern, however, must remain the issue of public money being used where everyone else has to take the hit themselves. The good thing in the long run - because I have information on this - is that at the end of the day this factor will be made public. It will not be allowed to be buried.<br /><br />You really have to ask whatever next in this island? <br /><br />A constant fight by just a few of us to get a full investigation into the 'historic' abuse scandal.Then we find a jurat who has an at best demonstrably 'malleable' commitment to justice and what is right and wrong; at worst is clearly utterly warped in terms of judement. Yet still being allowed to sit dishing out justice for years. <br /><br />Next we even have further hard evidence of said person being allowed to sit on a case where he is an evidenced long term friend of a director of the company who owns the defendant in a case... This has to stop. It needs to be made public outside of the island and it is going to be. Indeed the process has already begun. The good thing is that a growing number of powerful people are disturbed by all of this.<br /><br />After all, if such things were genuine 'mistakes' and acknowledged as such it would be different. But when does the Establishment Party ever say sorry without being forced to?
