None other than the disgraced Home Affairs Minister himself"<br /><br />And Sam Mezec in his comment says:<br /><br />"what is the point in scrutiny when the leaders of it are just yes men appointed by those are meant to be scrutinised?"<br /><br />Just to put folk in the picture on this, I brought a proposition which should have been debated at the last sitting I was in the States. It had two elements. The first would have tackled “misleading information” (lying to you and me) in the States, as practised by certain Ministers.<br /><br />The second part would have solved VFC’s and Sam’s problem. It asked PPC to review “whether it is appropriate that all States members are entitled to vote both for Ministers and for the Chairmen and members of Scrutiny Panels and the PAC.”<br /><br />I originally proposed that Scrutiny and PAC chairs be elected only by members who are NOT Ministers or Assistant Ministers, precisely to ensure that the same majority which elects the Ministers does not also have the power over who gets to scrutinise the said Ministers. Problem solved!<br /><br />However, this would have involved changing Standing Orders and I did not have much time for redrafting, so we did a quick fix change to the wording.<br /><br />What happened to this interesting proposition? Certain manoeuvres were carried out, and it was not debated!<br /><br />P169/2011 for those who are interested<br /><br />Danielnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3591695769525894359.post-52931697016344000702014-02-20T23:07:23.920+00:002014-02-20T23:07:23.920+00:00No wonder Stuart was smiling when he left the plac...No wonder Stuart was smiling when he left the place, sounds like a madhouse in there!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3591695769525894359.post-57862576642162955182014-02-20T20:03:59.116+00:002014-02-20T20:03:59.116+00:00Couldn't have been the same one who impregnate...Couldn't have been the same one who impregnated a female prisoner then..Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3591695769525894359.post-39864878386356520912014-02-20T19:18:22.952+00:002014-02-20T19:18:22.952+00:00Hey Curtis, I hope HMP provides free tests.

On the other hand, Le Marquand doesn't believe him, when he denies the charges for which he is jailed. (In ILM world he must simultaneously be a thoroughly dishonest & dishonorable scoundrel too).<br /><br />If he can't explain that, perhaps he can explain how illegal bugging & monitoring can be carried out OVERSEAS, without a court order to enable him to be convicted, yet according to the Liverpool Echo, Warren can apparently be using multiple mobile phones inside a prison, making 000's of calls & texts, to run his business operation, under the noses of the authorities ON ISLAND. If that is so, could they not have used their well honed surveillance skills on the mobile mast at La Moye?<br /><br />If monitoring of calls was carried out, was it done with or without a court order? Does Le Marquand even know that? If it was without a court order, who decided to act outside the law? (Perhaps Le Marquand was deliberately not told anything as he is such a buffoon, the whole thing would be an even worse mess than it is now).<br /><br />Can Le Marquand explain how Warren managed to top up his mobile as surely getting a contract would require a utility bill as proof of address! Was allowed to pop out to the shops at Red Houses. He was after all a man of his word!<br /><br />Some many question, so few answers.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3591695769525894359.post-83488123485975625802014-02-19T21:19:07.665+00:002014-02-19T21:19:07.665+00:00Hi VFC.

" - When reading this, I immediately thought it odd that a big dealer could accumulate £200m in funds, froms activities that most governments deplore because of the misery they help to pile upon those who are hooked on drugs, and yet that same government are happy to use that money to effectively line the pockets of the legal profession, whereas, the funds should really be ring-fenced and used in full by the various drug support agencies that deal with those whose lives have been wrecked by drugs (including those who get hooked on drugs to help them temporarily forget about past abuse conducted in government homes etc..). I guess in Jersey this would never be accepted, they would rather use more funds to pay the legal profession to reduce payouts to those abused, than actually paid out to the abused!.<br /><br />Another thought, is it not strange that the police officers who conducted the illegal surveillance, get hounded, but it appears that ILM doesn't think an inquiry is necessary for a serious breach at the prison!! - surely it was not condoned as another activity that will be strenously denied, yet illegally sanctioned just to get the pot of imaginary gold!<br /><br />Okay, off topic, but I think it is worth bearing in mind! <br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3591695769525894359.post-2736955595623426672014-02-18T23:18:46.739+00:002014-02-18T23:18:46.739+00:00That kind of scenario is entirely feasible.
It is...That kind of scenario is entirely feasible.<br /><br />It is absolutely common in Jersey. Indeed, the supposed "independent" Appointments Commission seems to have frequently been little more than a device designed to confer "credibility" on senior Jersey appointments.<br /><br />Unbeknown to me at the time, the appointment of Mike Pollard as Health & Social Services Chief Executive was rigged. I took part in the Appointment Commission's interview and appointment process - and I preferred a different candidate. But the rest - Bill Ogley in particular - were insistent on Pollard, so I naively went along with it. <br /><br />And, of course - as a number of us now know - there were very serious "issues" over the appointment of Data Protection Commissioner Emma Martins. The appointment process had proceeded to a point whereby it was closed - and another preferred candidate was the prominent choice. But - for some reason - the process got stopped - and Martins entered the frame - and was then appointed.<br /><br />So yes - appointments to posts - in Jersey - are frequently "strategic".<br /><br />Stuart Ex-Senator Stuart Syvrethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02133826278608795054noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3591695769525894359.post-76467554907230473052014-02-18T23:10:14.013+00:002014-02-18T23:10:14.013+00:00If UK doesn't at least make a show of feigning...If UK doesn't at least make a show of feigning interest, their inaction will be profoundly telling.DenverGalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03816174318085587034noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3591695769525894359.post-68124540890664026652014-02-18T22:46:50.069+00:002014-02-18T22:46:50.069+00:00Ten years in prison?
