Mixed Messages

Those good citizens who have taken the trouble to read the Strategic Plan 2009 - 2014 must be feeling very confused after seeing last week's newspaper headlines. For example, Priority 16 of the Plan says that the States want to ' support the development of arts and heritage in Jersey...need to preserve , enhance and promote our rich heritage.

Yet,the headlines are saying museums are going to close, staff made redundant etc. The electorate are receiving mixed messages daily ; how can they be expected to support and vote for political representatives if they don't understand the policies they represent.

Pick A Pocket Or Two

When Oliver dared to ask for more, he ended up penniless and sharing poor standard housing
with Fagin and his gang of thieves. They were suffering from the effect of spending cuts due to an economic downturn so Fagin was reviewing the situation.

He decided that the solution was for the boys to go out and pick a pocket or two ,however,they were instructed to only pick the pockets of the rich not the poor.

Are you reviewing the situation Chief Minister ?
