The judicial function in Jersey is thoroughly corrupt. Realistically it requires the Bailiff, the Deputy Bailiff, the Commissioners, the Jurats, the Attorney General and the Solicitor General and, most probably all of the officers and employees below them to be dismissed from office to improve matters. Probably the Chief Officer of the States of Jersey Police as well. At some point I hope that one or more of them or their subordinates will break ranks with those they know to be corrupt, turning Queen's evidence. I think Stuart Syvret called it something like the currency of concealment - the indirect benefits that accrue to those that maintain their silence in the face of gross injustice. With the advent of the internet and the ability for victims to speak out without needing the support of the State Media the currency of concealment is diminishing in value all of the time.<br /><br />Moving on, I was surprised to hear that Philip Bailhache had stepped down as Assistant Chief Minister. Was it the frustration at his failure to achieve the dismissal of Deputy Duhamel from the Council of Ministers do you know? Philip Bailhache may be perceived as powerful but I doubt whether he could lead a Council of Ministers. As a longstanding judge in the Royal Court, he has probably become accustomed to not being challenged in any meaningful sense either by subordinates, or by unexpected events.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2356563206883049966.post-18623816085324432192014-02-03T18:14:09.790+00:002014-02-03T18:14:09.790+00:00Apologies for not posting replies of late.

Tough job as there are only a handful in the States now who really do constituent work especially if people with problems are not in your own patch. Let's hope a couple of Lefties get in rather than a couple more like. Rod Bryans and James.

The progressives in the chamber not contesting chairs not standing for scrutiny etc will have little impact on the wider public. More than likely it would be presented as even the progressives know they arent up to the job, or some such rubbish.<br /><br />Where is there is some real anger among the voting public is the handling of the referendum. Whilst it is quite possible to argue the whole exercise was seriously flawed, the outcome of two set of debates on it in the States is that they have effectively implemented option C - the one option that was decisively rejected by the public in the referendum. It has left a bitter aftertaste with many and a serious sense that the assembly is not acting for the people even when given a clear message by them. In this respect I believe there is much more traction to be had in presenting the case 'if they wont listen we won't speak'. Not just those in the chamber, but all active citizens. No submissions to consultations, no evidence to scrutiny panels, no response to the media on any States debate , proposal or PR : No reform-> no response.<br /><br />I'm not sure I really want to argue the case for that, it is quite complex, but I have made the point when pressed recently that I do not intend standing for election in the foreseeable future unless and until there is meaningful reform of the States. Perhaps that is no big loss!Mark Forskitthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09189827278867422775noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2356563206883049966.post-67151605273876960852014-02-01T18:35:11.206+00:002014-02-01T18:35:11.206+00:00There is also something fishy about P Bailhache st...There is also something fishy about P Bailhache stepping down as assistant Chief Minister, and letting P Ozouf take that post.

Only two years ago, your view would have been thought of as a left wing vision without substance, today sadly it appears the truth.<br /><br />The egotistical, introvert, wealthy, non business skilled are in charge in the States.<br /><br />This week I read on another forum about the story of Web and the ex chief minister involved in the bent Harcourt fiasco. It is difficult to view this disaster any other way other than corrupt.<br /><br />In the last week we learn social housing has been effectively taken over by another miserable quango, and today we read Fort Regent has also gone, with all Jerseys other sporting facilities to follow. <br /><br />Major parts of the islands infrastructure are effectively taken out of the hands of the States decision making process and going private, they tell you that it is owned by the people and answerable to the States, technically yes, but in real life it is repeated lie.<br /><br />This is lie is confirmed when States members are regularly refused access to information regarding their concerns. <br /><br />The elite are putting their friends in charge to run Jersey. This is not for the benefit of the island or its residents, there is no proof that any recent quango has served the island well, or added value because they are not truly accountable to the last penny.<br /><br />This will only add to Jerseys decline because of the elite’s aggressive greed, which like cancer does not know when to stop and kills the source. Maybe this is why Ozouf is now promoting the borrowing of millions to be repaid by future generations, that’s if Jersey is not bankrupt which without doubt it will be.<br />Islanders need to wake up from their sleepwalk and take action. Mugabe has sold large tracts of land to the Chinese, what is so different about the way this Government supporting non democratic decision making by quangos of the islands assets, clearly dis-enfranchising it’s people. <br /><br />To be honest Trevor if there were twenty five more open spirits like you in the States flying the flag of honesty, accountability and responsibility, Jersey would still be a wonderful island, it is now not, and getting a worse place to live by the month.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2356563206883049966.post-63699199765875515762014-02-01T10:35:23.226+00:002014-02-01T10:35:23.226+00:00Trevor.

They can be found, albeit in a more developed form, in the senior levels of government and the legal establishment where some notable figures favour an eventual severance of links with the U.K. and would see the ready acceptance of U.K. working practices as running counter to this agenda. I recall that in 2007 I assisted a small working group which included, among others, the Bailiff Sir Philip Bailhache and the Attorney General William Bailhache. The purpose of the group was to prepare a draft contingency plan for complete independence. I submitted papers to the group on the implications for law enforcement, and used some contacts from my previous role to offer suggestions as to who outside of the island, could assist in developing such a plan. I provided contact details of key figures in the Scottish Government and Administration including the Scottish National Party. I recall that some of the advice and contacts I provided were in an email I sent, probably in July 2007. This and other experiences reinforced my understanding that there was a tide flowing against closer association with the U.K, and a strong local agenda to develop working models and solutions within the island."<br /><br />You and your readers will no doubt be aware that this is the document suppressed by (to use you words) "Jersey’s gutless ‘repeaters’ of the Establishment’s mainstream media."<br /><br />Namely <a href="http://voiceforchildren.blogspot.co.uk/2012/08/stuart-syvret-rule-of-law-and-bbc.html" rel="nofollow">THE BBC</a>voiceforchildrenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16825129148579102037noreply@blogger.com
