New terms for child abuse inquiry



 http://thejerseyway.blogspot.co.uk/2012/11/question-without-answers-061112.html

 
Jersey politicians will be asked to agree to the terms of an independent investigation into historical child abuse in the island.
The Council of Ministers has published its terms for the committee of inquiry.

Even a new inquiry has its terms of reference drafted to ensure that there are still elements of the scandal which could  remain concealed. There is something very rotten in the States of Jersey which demands outside investigation and exposure. The Jersey establishment have for far too long enjoyed immunity from accountability for its nefarious activities  in many areas of Jersey life,  not only in the historic child abuse obscenity.
The net is closing on those individuals from the past and in the present either involved in the excesses or instrumental in the cover up. The prevarications and not very well hidden attempts to ensure that there is only limited investigation are, in view of the mounting public pressure to uncover the truth, unlikely to be tolerated. It is a vain attempt by those intimately involved, through the public face of the establishment, to remain undiscovered.  An attempt which can only delay the inevitable exposure.

Northern Ireland and Brexit. The return of "The Troubles"

Northern Ireland: police attacked in another night of disturbances | Northern Ireland | The Guardian When the "Brexit" debate was still filling our newspapers and our television screens, readers may remember why I had changed my mind since voting to leave at the referendum vote. Apart from the economic arguments, which had become crystal clear after peeling away all the lies and misrepresentations trotted out by Bozo Boris and his "Get Brexit Done" conspirators, there was always the problem of the border between Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland. Would it be possible to have a border between the European Union and the United Kingdom where people, goods and services could pass freely between the two nations without customs restrictions, tariffs, duties and all the other formalities? Would it be possible to have one part of the United Kingdom treated differently from other parts of the United Kingdom, particularly when Scotland for example had voted overwhe

The Parliamentary Labour Party conspirators are hatching another coup.

However, amongst all the usual speculative delusion, there is one factor which causes concern to anyone who believes in the Labour Party, its principles and in he democratic process of the Labour movement. It is abundantly clear that elements within the Parliamentary Labour Party, are even now, planning another coup in the event that Jeremy Corbyn should emerge as winner in the current ballot. The failed coup of earlier this year, has now descended into a sham leadership election, because the conspirators still fail to accept the democratic decision of the Labour party membership and cling to

Plemont development or return to nature?

  http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-jersey-  A date has been set for a public inquiry into plans for Plemont Headland. This exceptional location must be sold to the National trust for Jersey, and returned to nature. Any other outcome involving development of the site, can only demonstrate the extent to which greed and self interest have become endemic in Jersey.
