I was shackled from pursuing any punchy journalism in a laughably amateurish TV outfit for fear of upsetting the station’s friends, ............<br /><br />The implicit message in the morning boat maxim is that Jersey islanders do not entertain criticism or complaint. And that is how we arrive at the unsurprising revelation that institutional child abuse was covered up for all those years.<br /><br />Now, as the sinister layers of the island’s secrets are unpeeling, and the awkward questions I wished were mine are being asked, I wonder how differently the lives of those at Haut de la Garenne might have been if the MEDIA had done its job.<br /><br />In an island of 90,000 souls, one is only removed from another by the smallest step of separation. The island’s Chief Minister, Frank Walker, had a cameraman son at the TV channel where I worked; a senior politician’s mistress was a TV reporter on the island. My co-host’s home [KRISTINA MOORE] became a popular salon for politicians and decision-makers. In such an atmosphere of closeness, any meaningful challenge becomes impossible. “You rub people up the wrong way,” she said, primly dismissing my methods. <br /><br />........It is the aggressive defensiveness of Jersey people that may undo any attempt to reconcile the past wrongdoing at Haut de la Garenne. The unwillingness to invite outsiders to probe or criticise is almost insurmountable.<br /><br />Jersey is entrenched in a concealment culture dating from its wartime Nazi collaboration, reinforced by its shadowy banking industry and confirmed by its new notoriety as a cradle for rampant paedophilia. In such a whisper world, the only audible sound is the gentle rustle of nests being feathered. There are simply too many there with too much to lose.<br /><br />If Jersey stands any chance of rebuilding the public’s shattered affection ......., there must be expiation, demonstrable remorse and a change in the island’s executive.<br /><br />Perhaps more importantly there should be change in the media that failed to hold the powers to account. Because when the voices of the vulnerable are not heard by authority, the influence of an attentive media is perhaps their last hope. The frightened children incarcerated at Haut de la Garenne must have dreamt that they too could board that boat in the morning."<br /><br /><br />This was one of several articles which Patrick Muirhead wrote about his experiences with CTV in Jersey and is right on the money.<br />The whole of that particular article is available at:<br /><br />http://freespeechoffshore.nl/stuartsyvretblog/jerseys-media/A Real Journalist's Viewpointhttp://introducingjersey.blogspot.co.uk/2014/05/move-along-now.htmlnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3591695769525894359.post-63404193950878516952014-09-11T19:53:02.924+01:002014-09-11T19:53:02.924+01:00What was it, that Stuart used to call her, (and pr...What was it, that Stuart used to call her, (and probably still would)?

I suspect this question will get lost in the rush to give NLC and political parties a right good kicking."<br /><br />Seems a reasonable statement of reasonable opinions which they may expand upon if they wish.<br /><br />The commenter did not mention what you call "the very fortunate timing of her recovery". They asked why she did not resign to ensure St Peters was properly represented.<br /><br /><br />It would also be fair to observe that Ms Moore, AKA Mrs Dickinson, benefited from full pay for 12 to 18 months full pay during a time when she was doing no work or considerably reduced work. If only every cancer or illness sufferer was so fortunate. This would be a considerable amount of money to many of the people she represents but would be little more than pin money to her household.<br /><br />Kristina Moore claims to have been doing constituency work during this time. This may well be true to some extent but as a constituent I certainly would not approach such a sick lady to load my problems on her. Would you?<br />Mirage representation IMO.<br /><br />It is upsetting that she is suffering from cancer and no doubt devastating for her family and this bothers all caring people. <br />Personally I am NOT bothered about her absence from the chamber for 12 months or so because Kristina appears little more than a button pushing robot for Jersey's ruling right wing<br />(or was it LEFT WING ????!!!!!! according to commenter 00:26 who points out/bemoans that incapacitated commoners in Jersey are not euthanized)<br /><br />Due to the other sheer number of other button pushing right wing robots in the chamber it frankly makes very little difference whether Kristina is there or not.<br /><br />As for "just wait and see what the parishioners of St.Peter decide on election day" .......

Unfortunately for all the wrong reasons. Nick claims to be left wing but in truth there is no left and right in politics in Jersey, this is one of the most socialist states in the world. Those people who moan about the Jersey right wing establishment and that they live on lowly benefits in a small flat with no garden and only enough money to buy 200 cigarettes and a litre or two of vodka a week, why don't they vote with their feet and go and live in a Nairobi slum. No cigarettes, no vodka, no food, no toilet, a pretty good chance of getting murdered. It is the right wing establishment in Jersey that allows these extreme left wing socialist policies to be followed (by the right wing establishment!). To claim to be left wing in Jersey is a nonsense because the whole system is left wing from top to bottom. That is why party politics in Jersey is a nonsense. So Nick, just admit it, you thought it was a clever comment but after watching a baffled crowd listen to your speeches during the Senatorial elections, trying to say it was an acidic political comment won't wash with the voting minority who mostly don't have a clue where you are coming from. I bet you had a LOL moment when you thought of the tweet but perhaps you would have been better to keep it to yourself. Most people couldn't name a dozen States members but at the moment I bet Nick is one of the ones people could name.

Well shouldn't there be a witch hunt against her constituent(s) who look to have made her work for them during such a terrible illness? What Deputy Le Cornu tweeted was clearly offensive but at least he didn't expect her to work for him during her illness.<br /><br />So if it's witch hunts the State Media is in to then lets know who Deputy Moore's heartless constituent(s) is/are. voiceforchildrenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16825129148579102037noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3591695769525894359.post-29796448352463301372014-09-08T17:52:58.164+01:002014-09-08T17:52:58.164+01:00NLC is getting a kicking for the language and tone...NLC is getting a kicking for the language and tone of his tweet, and for picking on someone who was described as very seriously ill.

This weekend has been a political car crash for him. <br /><br />I and my family would like to vote for a Reform Jersey Candidate in our district of St. Helier No 1 but we don't want the opposition vote split if he decides to stand again. <br /><br />If NLC is so keen to take his firebrand form of politics to the electorate maybe he'll consider standing in one of the rural Parishes, like say St. Mary, so he can test his irony there.<br /><br />His days as a representative of the liberal, working class people of St. Helier are over.

Whether you like it or not, being perceived to be attacking a cancer victim is so politically incorrect (and made worse if it's a beloved former TV presenter, and then made even worse again with that debatable sexism) is so bad that SURELY an intelligent man knows better than to make out that his brand of humour is above the level of everyone else's ability to understand it? That's a bit like going into a rowdy bar full of soccer hooligans wearing a rugby shirt and proceeding to tell them why their game is rubbish and rugby is so much better.

You haven't come over as convincing.There's an arrogance of the kind that puts islanders off engaging with politics. You'll need to admit that you realise that your point wasn't made as well as you would have liked, aplogise again, and then, ONLY THEN, with less priority, make any other attempts to stand up for yourself.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
