Constable Jackson, who has refused Mr Michel permissionfor a black headstone at Les Quennevais |
Footage Couertesy of Citizens Media
Although it was a Friday night, between 55- 60 people turned out at Communicare last week to show solidarity and support for Danny Michel, who is fighting (reluctantly) to be able to have a black headstone erected at Les Quennevais Cemetery, in memory of his late wife, Violet.
The response at the meeting was unanimous: Mr Michel should be allowed to have his headstone and the Constable should take the necessary steps to amend the parish regulations where necessary, to allow for others who want the same.
The Constable's seat is for the taking you should stand for constable at the next election Monty.
ReplyDeleteMontfort.
ReplyDeleteI agree with the first commenter, the Constables seat is definitely there for the taking. He was called some very un-savoury names at that meeting and has lost a lot of support.
The way he has treated Mr.Michel is just disgraceful and in-excusable.
Thank you citizens media for taking the time to film this interview.
ReplyDeleteI hope Mr. Michel is able to choose the headstone of choice as have others in St. Brelade
mr tadier
ReplyDeletethis is an utter disgrace mr jackson should have done so much better but as a minister and constable the man is just not up to the job he has more concern for he,s minsterial post above all else i hope this man lose,s both
What is "traditional" in a Jersey sense? Judging by the way modern architecture is spreading its hideous way throughout St.Helier, maybe we can have glass and steel headstones - those materials will be traditional before long!
ReplyDeleteNice electioneering by Tadier here. The cynicism of politicians never fails to astound.
ReplyDeleteJackson has backed down, what a result for Mr. Michel his supporters and citizens media.
ReplyDeletejackson should go
ReplyDeleteGreat result - well done for organising the meeting and getting this result.
