Thank you for the previous comme...Dear Anonymous, <br /><br />Thank you for the previous comment. Clearly, as stated, questions need to be asked again, so I will co-ordinate with those who raised the issue with me in the first place and take advice from them.<br /><br />The problem, so often in these cases, is that the whistleblower, once s/he has found alternative employment and raised the issue once, does not want to keep on fighting, partly out of fatigue, partly from fear of jeopardising the new job and future prospects.<br /><br />This is problematic, because without mainstream media attention, these issues can get brushed aside (dare I say 'covered up', much more easily. <br />For example, I had approached one of the mainstream media about the matter. They asked for the report, unfortunately it is difficult to do much without the blessing of the original whistleblower. One has to respectthe confidentiality of one's constituents. There are also the residents to think of.<br /><br />But the sentiment of your comment is most certainly taken on board.Deputy Montfort Tadierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02702165660857648225noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3258990332470277140.post-23059987782614154802010-10-16T16:57:06.598+01:002010-10-16T16:57:06.598+01:00Strange that your readers comments cannot keep to ...Strange that your readers comments cannot keep to the original topic which raised some valid concerns.<br /><br />Part of the problem with the lack of coordinated action is that individuals will not give support to each other.<br /><br />What has happened to the person who transferred to public sector employment in the strange circumstances outlined?

Thanks for your comments. You are complet...Martin,<br /><br />Thanks for your comments. You are completely right. You can take some comfort in the fact that a group of me and my colleagues have started meeting up again to co-ordinate on tactics, question plans and areas of common interest as well as working towards common goals (such as the promotion of greater democracy and more transparency in government).<br /><br />What I really meant to say is that it is, to a certain extent, only natural that different States Members have different priorities. For some members the priority is the what is happening with proposed cuts to frontline services; for others, it is protection of the vulnerable (old and young), currently in the care of the State; again, others have turned their energies and expertise towards the serious contradictions surrounding the dismissal of Mr Power.<br /><br />The key thing here, is that those who are (crudely speaking) 'on the same side', all know what is going on and share information. Thankfully, this is starting to happen.<br /><br />But the bottom line remains more generally, that in a non-party political setting, it is much more difficult to be productive at effecting change than in a party setting where co-ordination and access to resources and combined skills is greater.Deputy Montfort Tadierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02702165660857648225noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3258990332470277140.post-82381493978563696442010-10-15T08:33:38.920+01:002010-10-15T08:33:38.920+01:00mr tadier

THERE CLEARLY WERE FAILINGS. There was no COULD about it. Unfortunately, the majority of Establishment members prefer to chide the Deputy of St Mary for daring to speak out against the Chief Minister rather than demand higher standards of their elected leader.<br /><br />There were also interventions from Deputy Trevor Pitman, asking whether there would be any other civil servants to be suspended as a result of the Napier ReportDeputy Montfort Tadierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02702165660857648225noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3258990332470277140.post-60977931407933368392010-10-15T01:33:40.867+01:002010-10-15T01:33:40.867+01:00Deputy Hill must indeed be commended for his actio...Deputy Hill must indeed be commended for his actions, not only in the States, but the oversight throughout the Napier process, and for not standing for any of the Chief Minister's attempted shenanigans.<br /><br />(Incidentally one of the consequences of releasing the report last Friday and not before was that it prevented States Members lodging any oral questions about the content of the report, as the deadline for these is Thursday lunchtime. I leave it to readers to decide whether or not this was done deliberately, with this in mind)<br /><br />As you can see from the above post, as politicans, we all have different areas that we are working on. Bob's expertise in this area, partly from his past career as a police officer, clearly means that he is well placed to lead.<br /><br />But what I will say is that the Chief Minister and Home Affairs minister will be facing many questions this coming Tuesday on the subject of Napier, and the suspension more generally.<br /><br />As the anonymous commentator will no doubt be aware, a number of the progressive politicians are working together on this and other issues.<br /><br />I will post my questions regarding this and other issues over the weekend.Deputy Montfort Tadierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02702165660857648225noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3258990332470277140.post-65384907576646701462010-10-14T18:13:13.495+01:002010-10-14T18:13:13.495+01:00were was the backbone in the states this week tls ...were was the backbone in the states this week tls was bullshiting about every thing to do with mr power seems to me that only d,hill had any backbone talk about yes minsterAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3258990332470277140.post-4593636416558011992010-10-13T21:34:15.758+01:002010-10-13T21:34:15.758+01:00Contrast the above with what ILM said about the AC...Contrast the above with what ILM said about the ACPO reports on the HDLG investigation review, where one of the team nearly got a job so there was a conflict of interest!<br /><br />Lets not even get onto conflicts of interest with Warcup and his letter which left out the qualifications, which led to his boss being suspended, but would appear to be okay.<br /><br />When is a conflict of interest taken seriously, it would appear only when it suits!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
