Sadly, when I queried all this on another JDA posting I was informed that there were 'phone calls' which couldn't be produced, and when I then said it was all a bit of 'he said, she said' I was told that there were e-mails as well.<br /><br />To date these have not been placed in the public domain, which one would have expected to back these claims up. So, until that time, we are talking 'tittle-tattle', nothing more, nothing less.<br /><br />Trevor is a sound man for whom I have a lot of respect. Pity he is in the thick of all this.GeeGeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10531524441316755129noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3582087745212939575.post-51540763804796274552010-06-13T09:12:15.824-07:002010-06-13T09:12:15.824-07:00'Big Trev' can you please get back on the ...'Big Trev' can you please get back on the blog soon!Roxannenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3582087745212939575.post-25748797045040500662010-06-13T07:17:16.180-07:002010-06-13T07:17:16.180-07:00JDA

Though I support Stuart I can well believe that Stuart set all of this unpleasantness in motion because I have heard about the threats from within citizens media. I just wish everyone could now let it go and who ever wins focus on doing their best for Jersey's peoople. Other than that I will just add that Trevor and Shona are class and always stand up for the people who elected them. If that monirty of Stuart supporters start attacking you two as well please just ignore them.JCnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3582087745212939575.post-14998659065562148922010-06-12T13:58:33.325-07:002010-06-12T13:58:33.325-07:00All at JDA.

I know he has been at some of the hustings but is there a reason for the silence? This isn't a criticism either, he talks more sense and has more TF then all of the other new members put together.

I hope you weren't an English teacher! I have taken the liberty of editing your speech from 470 words to 145. <br /><br />"Ben Queree implies my motion of no confidence in the Chief Minister is opportunistic electioneering. A bit prejudicial coming from the island's only newspaper! I’m grateful for right to reply.<br /><br />Defeating the Council of Ministers is hard. <br />Fact: Politicians aren’t deciding the 2% cuts - senior civil servants are. <br />Fact: We have no evidence of what the full cuts (10% or £50m savings) will be. <br />Who knows the tax implications?<br /> <br />We need to debate this before the cherry picking begins. We can’t leave this to Scrutiny who are so often ignored.<br /><br />I have brought over 80 propositions and votes of no confidence and know timing is critical. The Comprehensive Spending Review debate needs to be had now, it is not the only option. This is what the no confidence motion is about - the future quality of life of all residents.

Not hard is it?<br /><br />Give Syvret a clear run, please as he is the only person who can intellectually challenge the COM you are letting Le Gresley in who'll be eaten alive.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3582087745212939575.post-38030423564222081862010-06-09T10:00:28.855-07:002010-06-09T10:00:28.855-07:00Fair answer.

It is interesting that Stuart has been whining again on his blog about unfair treatment for Geoff from the JEP, yet tonight also has letters from other candidates too. Really I don't know what my ex-fave politician is moaning about. He has had loads of coverage over six long months for doing very little more than nowt sulking in London, pretending to be an investigative journalist or some such. <br /><br />What I would like to know from Stuart is what precisely of his recently published 'evidence' - and don't get me wrong, I share many of Stuart's concerns about the 'Jersey Way' - he could not have got hold of or published over here. From what I have read the answer to both probably, but certainly the latter, is absolutely nothing. Sad. Very sad.An ex-Stuart voternoreply@blogger.com
