Today (16th November 2009) the Australian Prime Minister, Kevin Rudd, is apologising to adult care leavers in Australia for past abuse that they experienced in care as children. These governments have given a lead. Jersey needs to follow their example and begin to restore its reputation by showing that it cares about the past victims of abuse and wants to make amends for past wrongs. The Jersey Care...

Has “a lot of time” for Bertie Ahern, one of the few jackeens he has time for. Is full of half-baked tales when filled with drink e.g. that Dan Breen once hid from the Black and Tans in a bread bin in his mother's house. …... Continue reading »

What better man to play that role than Bertie Ahern? The truth is the Irish banks have lost the country's pension plan. Civil servants will not be paid next year. It is all gone. We might as well use that realization now and begin to do …... Continue reading »
