THE STRANGE CASE OF STUART SYVRET, DATA PROTECTION & THE INTERNET TROLL.

Another snapshot of the Jersey ‘justice’ system – where ‘the law’ is changeable according to who you are…

Being pleased to receive some assistance from our cousins across the channel in France relating to our Strasbourg application – this arising out of complete disbelief on their part at how those who control Jersey’s ‘justice’ system continue to twist and abuse it at will to secure the desired Establishment result – the conversation got me on to thinking of how the Data Protection ‘law’ was infamously manipulated against former Senator Stuart Syvret.

Indeed, the timing for putting up this post seemed pretty ideal as I had decided that due to some rather interesting ‘happenings’ I have set for around the end of September/October I needed to take a break from regular blogging at least until nearer the election. And secondly, I had just had yet another experience of what passes for ‘law’ in the Birt and Bailhache epoch Jersey Twilight Zone via Viscount Michael Wilkins’ collusion with the State media regarding our politically manipulated ‘Désastre’.

More about this episode in a future post no doubt. Yet in the meantime please check out this link to my interview on the excellent Voiceforchildren Blog.

Stuart Syvret and the notorious Data Protection ‘secret court case’ scam

Here, should any readers not be aware, four Establishment proxies (there was actually meant to be five but one refused to go along with the ruse having been written to by Data Protection asking him to come in and join them) including one middle-aged, internet troll and convicted petty criminal we shall call for the sake of humour and upsetting his sense of deluded importance, Boozy D’ Eathreat were provided with the better part of £500,000 of our taxpayers’ money by the Data Protection Commissioner’s Office. These monies being to cover ‘legal advice’ costs to take former Senator Syvret to court and prosecute him regarding material on his internet blog.

The actual cost of the whole scam in fact ran in to millions as I know firsthand from one of those involved in the process. However, what really needs to be focussed on for the purposes of this particular post is that Mr D’ Eathreat was allowed access to this taxpayer’s money despite the fact that what Stuart Syvret had actually written about him being an abusive and cowardly cyber bully was demonstrably true. As at least nine other complainants to the police I am now aware of can confirm. Imagine that, readers – in Jersey such is the break down of law and order that you can now actually be taken to court for telling the truth! All our judiciary need to do to succeed is simply ban you from providing the evidence or calling any witnesses.

Yet it must also be flagged up – especially given the anti-Syvret propaganda pumped out by Establishment Party organs such as the Jersey Evening Pravda – that whatever one thinks about the former Senator’s decision to name the secret court case proxies on his blog it remains an undeniable truth that the former Senator does have a wholly sustainable defence in his claim to have done so in what he considered to be – rightly or wrongly – the ‘public interest’. Certainly one hell of a stronger case than Viscount Wilkins’ has in his pandering to the whims of his mates in the Establishment court and media in our ‘Désastre’ case!

The differing judicial attitude to Syvret and Boozy D’ Eathreat actually sums up ‘the Jersey Way’ to a T

You see this Establishment proxy – a perma-Stella-ed, work-shy, scumbag, who has for years viciously attacked not just Syvret himself but many others including Shona and myself and even victims of child abuse on the internet using a whole plethora of fake avatars (James Le Gallais, James Pearce, Sue Young, Julie Hanning, Percy Luce, Monty Man Hunter etcetera) to try and conceal his sick and cowardly actions can have no such defence whatsoever. NONE! Boozy D’ Eathreat’s abuse of innocent people is down to pure, twisted maliciousness and jealousy. Nothing more. Nothing less.

Yet guess what? When approached for the same support to take this truly horrible bully to court - surprise, surprise - the Data Protection Commissioner claimed that she ‘could not do so’. Because this internet troll is apparently – and I quote here: ‘not a data controller like Syvret is’. In fact according to the Data Protection Commissioner’s very own words once again our Mr D’ Eathreat ‘is just a kitchen table blogger’. ‘Syvret’ in contrast she told me ‘even calls himself a journalist.’

Wondering what a ‘kitchen table blogger’ is?

Me too!  Because, even though I asked the Commissioner to kindly explain, her answers left me largely none the wiser. You see someone writing on the internet can call him or her self whatever they like – investigative journalist; reporter; political activist – anything. Most of course use plain and simple old ‘blogger’. The best are also quite open about who they – we - are.

The key issue here then is that such claims don’t actually automatically have any legal standing whatsoever. Syvret, after all, may use the term ‘journalist’ even though – just like other individuals such as Mr Rico Sorda for example – he is not actually employed or contracted by anyone. Indeed, such people in truth are ‘employed’ only by their social conscience; their ‘contract’ being only with their commitment to social justice.

Indeed, it is a similar story with the guff used in court against Syvret in throwing around the term ‘data controller’. Is Syvret any more a ‘data controller’ writing his blog than the sick and vicious internet troll who sets up and controls fake political forums where he uses avatars to both register it and spout his easily identifiable hatred as if this was coming from real people?

Or who even sets up bogus blogs - again registered under fake names - to do the same? Indeed, is Syvret or any other of us who write in our own name on personal and genuine blogs more of a ‘data controller’ than the sick and twisted troll who undoubtedly ‘controls’ the hateful bile he pumps out – i.e. the ‘information’ via Twitter of Facebook? Hateful information we know even pillars of the State media such as BBC Jersey Managing Editor, Jon Gripton are evidently happy to re-tweet as ‘amusing’.

No - Syvret is not

The truth is this whole ‘data controller’ concept is actually one originally intended to be utilised in relation to big business and institutions and was never constructed with the idea of being used against the likes of Syvret at all. It has simply been seized upon here in the courts of Jersey – the Hazzard County of the English Channel – as a convenient additional tool of Establishment oppression. (Who is Jersey’s Boss Hogg? Answers on a postcard…)

As for an individual like our Mr D’ Eathreat being able to pump out his cowardly hate to bully people he becomes fixated upon year after year without fear of falling foul of either Data Protection or the police because he is a ‘kitchen table blogger’ this also utter garbage. The term’s legal standing is zero. Both agencies are fully aware of who this creature is and what he does. They both know there is a huge file of complaints about him. They also know that he could – as both honest local and UK police officers have confirmed to me - be charged under the Harassment Law and should have been.

But charged he isn’t

As for me personally, having pursued all of the correct complaint procedures following the years of sickening and vicious abuse from this social inadequate scumbag and yet still seen the authorities do absolutely nothing I actually can’t wait to be taken to court having decided my last resort was to stand up to this thug.

You see one little thing the Jersey Establishment Party may not have realised in deliberately allowing this freak’s reign of abuse to go on and on is that - finally - there are a great many of his victims who are now willing to give evidence about the how they have been abused and then betrayed by the authorities meant to protect them. And unlike James Pearce, James Le Gallais, Sue Young, Julie Hanning, Alan Gower and Uncle Tom Cobbley and all – they are all real!

Keep the Faith

PS

In the meantime should you be one of this thug’s victims yet somehow suddenly find yourself down the police station due to one of his own bogus complaints (D’ Eathreat has made dozens of them!) please just remember this.. The police actually need a Centenier to charge you. It can’t – as it appears happened recently - be attempted by a couple of the mates the troll is always bragging about. And when you get out of the station if you haven’t got anyone else to turn to feel free to give me a call so I can add your name to the list… 

Bailhache: the ‘reformer’ again exposed as ‘wrecker’

Of all the many things that can be said about yesterday’s States vote to yet again hold back the tide of desperately needed political/constitutional reform in the Island surely the most crucial point to take on board above all else is this: not only did the manner by which democracy was thwarted see the States Assembly sink to an all time low but ‘Sir’ Philip Bailhache has now been exposed beyond argument as having free rein to abuse the system by whatever means he sees fit to maintain the Establishment Party’s grip on power.

Bailhache, of course, was carried into office by the likes of fawning Establishment organs such as the Jersey Evening Pravda on the back of farcical propaganda that he was the very champion of ‘reform’. That such claims were – as I and others from the progressive Left made clear at the time – utterly fake and in fact highly dangerous for Jersey’s democratic and socio-economic future – have now been proven 100% accurate. What after all it must be asked has the ‘Great Reformer’ Philip Bailhache reformed? The answer is, of course, absolutely nothing.

Indeed, Bailhache's track record on this could not be any more appalling if he tried. lets us not forget his very first move was to hijack and deliberately sabotage the reform referendum - wholly deliberately turning it into a loaded shambles which could only result in one outcome: failure.

In deeply disturbing contrast Bailhache is in truth a political reactionary of the very worst type – a draconian dinosaur in fact. A man absolutely desperate to preserve not only the ‘political stability’ that the Finance industry which has so captured our Island demands of its co-conspirators to guarantee its spiv culture of individual and corporate tax avoidance; but with it the two-tier society of an all-powerful Establishment minority totally immune to the democratic norms of the wider modern world.

And as yesterday shows, terrifying as it is, without outside pressure and ultimately intervention the conclusion must be that in this Bailhache is currently winning. At least until time takes its natural course and he and his aging band of power-obsessed neo-feudalists wither away and pass into an embarrassing history. Anyone who doubts this should simply consider the basic facts of yesterday’s debacle.

In what was so transparently nothing more than a blatant wrecking motion ‘Sir’ Philip Bailhache was allowed to bring an amendment to the Constable of St. Helier’s rehash of former Deputy Shona Pitman’s proposition to put an end to the role of Bailiff and replace this in the States with a democratically elected Speaker and President. Though sad in itself this amendment was, of course, not actually the real problem as I will explain.

It was the fact Bailhache was quite outrageously allowed to bring an amendment which if successful had clear and undeniable potential financial benefit to his own brother: Little ‘bruv’ William after all had already been named in an act of true arrogance and provocation by ‘Sir’ Michael Birt as his successor to the role in advance of the debate.

This is a blatant abuse and manipulation of the intent and spirit of Standing Orders and any claim to the contrary is simply untenable even with the most liberal interpretation of Standing Orders imaginable. Indeed, that ‘Sir’ Philip Bailhache was himself then even allowed to participate in the debate of such an amendment demonstrates just how utterly corrupt and craven the whole system is.

Yet where were the champions of democracy themselves – the voices of the progressive Left – in raising all of this to public attention? From what I heard – and I acknowledge I didn’t listen to the whole debate so depressing was the quality of much that was said within speeches – it appeared they just let the blatant abuse of process pass unchallenged. My word - but not a single one of the Left appeared to stand up to challenge the absolute joke of a claim that the judiciary in the form of the Bailiff could influence or interfere with the democratic process! 

Has no one from the new political party noticed that the Bailiff completely controls what an elected Member can say, what questions he or she may ask and what propositions may be lodged in support of those who elected them? If I missed this then I apologise but regardless it is something surely for the newly announced political party Reform Jersey at least to get to grips with fast if they are to live up to their name as I truly hope they can do.

Who needs a future it might be stated when ‘Sir’ Philip Bailhache can give us a whole new past?  As for me…depressing as the Bailiff debate and abuse of process was I took solace in the fact that I have a project likely to make a far bigger impact on the democratic deficit here in Jersey on course for the early autumn…

THE BAILIFF: A ROLE SYNONYMOUS WITH THE CORRUPTION OF ‘THE JERSEY WAY’

It really should come as little surprise to learn that ‘Sir’ Philip Bailhache has awoken from his political slumber following the debacle of his sabotaging of the reform referendum to now try to do the same with the latest moves to put an end to the non-ECHR compliant anachronism of the role of Bailiff. Bailhache’s whole career after all – through both his time as Attorney General, Bailiff and now as a Senator has, in my opinion, been marked by his utter contempt for justice and democracy.

Like his brother William his name is now synonymous to an ever-creasing number of people with child protection failures and the application of ‘law’ only according to who a person is. Indeed, at a time when generations of Establishment cronyism and corruption to ensure our Island was run as a private club to benefit the rich and powerful at the expense of the wider community is finally in sight of its Endgame simply due to the Party having run out of credible ‘big hitters’ to run the show Bailhache is the last desperate throw of the dice as I observed back in 2011.

Yes the political Left has failed over these long years to put aside what have generally been inconsequential differences of political priority to put together a strategy to outflank the endemic corruption of the ‘Jersey Way’. Just as the wider community who have become second class citizens under the ‘Jersey Way’ and its appeasement of Finance at all costs have failed to rise above the culture of fear; the apathy of moans and non-political participation to do the same. 

Yet the reality is the Establishment Party is finally facing its first glimpses of its nemesis because of things even its corruption and bullying cannot control: time and the reality that in a shrinking media world the anachronisms which have helped maintain its power can no longer be talked away with smarm and a dry sherry.

So now we see The Man Who Would Be King – surely King Philip the First and Last - desperately tilting at windmills to sustain the ‘Jersey Way’ and all it allows a little longer by attempting to defend the indefensible position of the Bailiff. A role let us not forget that has absolutely no mandate from the public. A role that allows an unelected judge to control what those who have faced and won election to the States Chamber via the public can say or put forward as policy proposals.

Hells bells - a role that allows these unelected judges – and as the recent past as shown us so dramatically not even ones who uphold justice for all as per their Oath – to strut about in ridiculous red cloak and gilded bog chains as the Island’s ‘First Citizen’ assuming the position afforded some kind of President!

And yet Philip Bailhache wants to keep the anachronism in place. Of course his aforesaid brother, William has already been announced as the next Bailiff - even before the vote set for later this month! But the key reasons why really do not any longer even need to be spelt out. Its removal will be the final cutting away of the critical first leg of the three-legged Establishment Party stool upon which the fat, bloated backside of the ‘Jersey Way’ squats. Once gone the final and long-overdue fall to earth will follow as inevitably as night-time follows day.

Yet to distract from this Philip Bailhache instead waffles via the State media about the importance of maintaining ‘tradition’! Really, Sir Philip? Leaking through the heady aroma of a nice Chateau-Neuf-du-Pape in the luxury of the Atlantic Hotel perhaps do not even you detect just the faintest whiff of sickening hypocrisy in the air? Perhaps then I should give you a little clue: Jersey's link to the Diocese of Winchester. Wasn’t that built around 500 years of ‘tradition’ – yet you threw it away without a thought in your desperation to dodge the holding to account of yet another member of the Establishment Party – the Dean - who had also failed to act on abuse.

Really, Sir Philip have you learnt nothing in your overbearing arrogance since as Attorney General you allowed the convicted paedophile Roger Holland to remain in the Honorary Police setting in motion a reign of abuse on young girls?

Have you learnt nothing since - as Bailiff - you illegally banned an elected Member of the States, former Senator Stuart Syvret from taking up his seat in the States for six months?

Have you learnt nothing since as Bailiff and Chairman of Victoria College you happily allowed a Vice-Principle – John Lyndon Le Breton - with a proven history of disregarding evidence against yet another predatory paedophile, Andrew Jervis-Dykes to be rewarded with a job as a Jurat ‘administering justice’ in your own Royal Court?

Indeed, have you learnt nothing since your grotesque and disgusting Liberation Day speech where you claimed global media reporting was the ‘real scandal’ above the appalling suffering of the victims of Haut de la Garenne which your generation of power holders had allowed to come about?

No, Sir Philip, quite clearly you have not. Or perhaps the truth is that you simply revel in all of this because all that matters is trying to prop up the ‘Jersey Way’ and ensure the Establishment Party hangs on to power a few more years no matter what? Either way the bottom line is that although I believe the craven deference afforded you by so many of the poodles currently passing themselves off as politicians will ensure you win the vote on the Constable of St. Helier’s re-working of Shona Pitman’s proposition to replace the Bailiff ultimately you will fail.

Indeed, if I may paraphrase a favourite rock song ‘This isn’t the end – but at least we can see it from here’. Justice eventually comes to all. Even in the tiny Neo-Feudal State of Establishment Jersey. Sleep well…

A WAKE UP CALL FROM HISTORY

A Student Federation poster from Chile in 1920 echoes down the years to warn a Jersey public who fail to stand up to those who hijack the democratic process…

I was fascinated in reading about a man, Salvador Allende, who is not only a personal political hero but also without doubt one of the most important champions of democracy of the 20^th Century to stumble across details of a 1920’s poster issued by the then FECH Chilean students’ federation newspaper ‘Claridad’ (Clarity). Indeed, given two highly symbolic events of the past seven days here in Jersey the message contained really could not resonate as being any more relevant:

Firstly, the final launch of the Committee of Inquiry into the decades of horrific child abuse concealed from Jersey’s ordinary people by years of corrupt Establishment politicians, ‘law lords’ and media sycophants. And equally, of course, the final ‘heads-in-the-sand’ decision to commit us to the huge burden of a Financial District that within twenty years will be as redundant as the crumbling ‘Off-Shore’ tax evasion industry on which it is based.

For the poster (the words of which I reproduce below) sums up in language as adroit as it is blunt the cost of what happens both individually and as a community when, as Plato so famously highlighted, the ordinary populace fail to engage in the political process or look beyond the lies and motives of those who would tell you theirs’ is the best and only way.

Indeed, replace the names of the Chilean newspapers of the 1920’s quoted within the poster with the Jersey Evening Post, Channel ITV and the local BBC and the words of 94 years ago could have been written specifically about the Jersey of 2014.

The words sum up not just Haut de la Garenne and so many other horrors which were allowed to happen by this failure of humanity but also how the victims/survivors, the two brave police officers who finally set out to drag out the truth; and, indeed, the handful of Leftist politicians and bloggers who stood tall alongside them were then trashed by the Establishment and their lackeys to protect the guilty.  

Just as it sheds light on how so many ordinary people continue to be sleep-walked down the crumbling, neo-liberal capitalist road to a moral less Nowhere by the same ‘leaders’ when the evidence of what lies ahead are all around to be seen if only one brave enough to look and see. Read the words of the poster; open your eyes and take heed.

As for Salvador Allende, a great leader whose democratically elected government was destroyed by the mass-murdering fascist General Augusto Pinochet at the behest of equally corrupt US President Richard Nixon – if only we in Jersey had a leader of his stature, vision and commitment to social justice to lead us away from the edge of the Abyss today! As we haven’t I guess it is up to us to save ourselves...

Chilean students’ federation newspaper ‘Claridad’ (Clarity) poster of December 1920

‘You are a coward. Yes a complete coward. And don’t think that we are saying this to attract you to this poster. No. Quite simply, you, whoever you are that is reading this, have you noticed how you live? What is it that you do every day? You are silent when convenient. You always ingratiate yourself with the more powerful. You opine like everyone else. When have you ever raised your voice against the scandalous infamy around you? When? Tomorrow or maybe the day after you may die and what purpose have you served? Do you know what the society we live in is, this capitalist society? Do you know what the society is that we push for and that you try to delay? No doubt you think the same as ‘El Mercurio’, ’La Nacion’ ‘El Diario Illustrado’ etcetera, the same as the newspaper you read every day. Learn for yourself man. Don’t be a puppet. Have some shame. Use your own head, that’s what it’s there for. Find out. Investigate. Don’t be fearful. And don’t leave calmly after reading this. In vain you try to be deaf. You are a coward, at the mercy of he who pays you best, or shouts at you loudest. Don’t fool yourself. When have you ever said anything that could jeopardise you? Because of docile individuals like you the world is unliveable with swine.’

Do you want to be on the easy side or on the side of what is right? I personally am proud to say that no matter the cost I have always stood – and will continue to stand – on the latter.

Keep the Faith.

JERSEY CHILD ABUSE COMMITTEE OF INQUIRY: THE IMPORTANCE OF GIVING EVIDENCE

The official launch of the Committee of Inquiry into the State cover up of decades of institutional child abuse is now just over a week away. Many abuse survivors have often thought that we would never, ever get to see this finally come about. Understandably so, given the rabid opposition orchestrated by those who desperately wanted both the true extent of the victims’ suffering; and the betrayals of those who let it happen and should have brought the perpetrators to justice years ago swept under the carpet in best ‘Jersey Way’ fashion to protect our image as an ‘Off Shore centre’. 

Survivors/victims have not only been dismissed and even simply deliberately ignored over the years many have been bullied; they have been humiliated and insulted. Some have even been threatened with legal action to try and intimidate them into silence. As one of the tiny handful of politicians who actually fought for the establishment of the Committee of Inquiry way back in 2008 I thus really cannot stress highly enough just how crucial it is that anyone who has evidence of any kind comes forward now and presents this to the Committee if it at all possible. 

I know only too well from the large number of survivors I have spoken to that this will be terribly painful for many… 

Perhaps it will even be genuinely impossible for a number. Indeed, just listening to some of the victims’ experiences made me feel physically sick on occasions. But what all of us who do not go along with the ‘Jersey Way’ ethos of the likes of the Bailhache brothers – two arrogant and utterly disgraced Attorney Generals and ‘judges’ whose names are now shamefully synonymous with the betrayal of both child abuse victims and justice alike – must keep in mind is this. 

No matter how painful; no matter what the intimidation or the cost all who can manage it simply must endeavour to place all that we know ‘on the record’ come the inquiry beginning on April 3rd because the alternative is surely even worse. Can we be sure that the Committee will act upon the evidence they are given as a truly independent body should do? No. We cannot. Yet what we can do - and do beyond any shadow of a doubt – is ensure that all of the facts finally do end up on the public record for posterity. 

By doing so we thus may just ensure that this type of sickening cover-up by the Island’s Establishment cannot happen so easily again; nor perpetrators get away with it so easily. 

After all, Jersey won’t always have a ‘justice’ system as corrupt and utterly warped by power and greed as the one allowed to ferment under Philip Bailhache and the equally contemptuous of Jersey’s obligations to comply with the European Convention on Human Rights, Michael Birt. Just as one day the UK finally won’t have weak individuals like recent ‘Justice Ministers such as McNally and Hughes; or of course the Queen’s Lieutenant-Governor for the Island who equally know what is going on but keep their mouths shut for fear of damaging the murky Jersey tax links with the City of London. Truth will always out in the end no matter how long it takes. 

But should you be one of those who genuinely doubt that presenting your evidence is worthwhile or will achieve anything positive – perhaps when set against the pain the process may bring about - please just consider the likely consequences if you do not. For in such a scenario the likelihood is that the lies and false picture of what took place at Haut de la Garenne and so many other places painted by the Establishment and their lackey media mouthpieces like the Jersey Evening Post will over time become accepted ‘fact’. 

Just as Dr. Goebbels stated: if you keep repeating a lie long enough… 

Not only will both the true extent of the suffering of the victims and the complicity of the politicians, civil servants, police and media who made it all possible be airbrushed out of history – the same Establishment and media fabrications trashing the hard work of the brave police officers, Graham Power and Lenny Harper, who finally did act to do something about it all will also become historical ‘fact’. 

This should be something that not a single soul who cares about justice and putting an end to ‘the Jersey Way’ could even contemplate as letting happen. And that is why all who can should give their evidence and give it proudly. 

Indeed, as the politician who led the investigation into the absolute fabrication of what really happened within the financial managing of Operation Rectangle by Power and Harper I know as well as anyone how the Jersey mainstream media – not just the Jersey Evening Post but Channel and the local BBC - sold the public a work of fiction in conjunction with Establishment politicians that would have done Stephen King proud. 

For example, without the evidence secured from witnesses in that Scrutiny Review we would never know such important and revealing facts such as… 

Far from Harper and Power ‘wasting’ 7.5 million pounds as claimed by the State media and some oddly obsessed Establishment politicians the duo did not even spend such a figure at all. The majority of the money actually was spent by their successors Warcop and Gradwell who did not even have a major crime scene to maintain. 

We would never know the truth that, try as politicians such as Ben Shenton, Jim Perchard and Sean Power did to smear the name of Lenny Harper the only individual leaking information to the media during a live child abuse investigation was actually Mick Gradwell – the man the JEP tried to spin to people as some kind of whistle-blowing hero! Yes, one of the very men brought in by the Establishment to trash and bury the whole investigation! 

These are just two hugely revealing facts amongst a great many that were dragged out into the light to counter the Establishment/State media lies only by people giving evidence to my panel… 

By now speaking to the Committee of Inquiry survivors and other witnesses alike can achieve the same – only even more so! Perhaps even setting in motion moves that will finally bring some of those protected under the ‘justice’ of the regimes of Bailhache and co to belated justice. So I repeat: let the true facts be recorded for future generations. Because if we do not we can be quite certain it will only make the events surrounding Haut de la Garenne all the more likely to happen again.

BALD TRUTH REVIEW 15: LESSONS FROM THE BY ELECTIONS

A short video outlining my thoughts on what we can take from the by-election success of Leftist candidates and now new Deputies Sam Mezec and Nick Le Cornu. Does this signify a new appetite for political change across the Island, or is it more complex than that?

And what does the dismal failure of the Establishment candidates to grab two Leftist seats - seats formerly occupied by myself and Shona Pitman of course and never lost at the ballot box but rather due to Michael Birt's corrupt judiciary - mean for the future of the Old Boys. Club?

Finally, and surely of equal importance what does the by-election victories for the Left really mean viewed in the wider context of renewed talk of trying to establish party politics in the Island?

Ten minutes of your time well spent even if I say so myself!
