Lets see how it runs. I am afraid it will be three years of banality. At least this will show up the farce that it currently is. None of this will matter much to the elite; their hold on power is complete.Nick Le Cornuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14983215673635966459noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4556145924493162530.post-74057920314919238712011-12-03T08:53:54.032+00:002011-12-03T08:53:54.032+00:00Gone a bit quiet around here.

Are the troops resting their tongues and sharpening their pointed sticks for the battles ahead?<br />Might we enjoy some renewed jousting at the scrutiny enclosure soon or shall it be another three years of the same old predictable name calling, flag waving, no contest banalities?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4556145924493162530.post-32175861421675372082011-11-26T08:09:55.534+00:002011-11-26T08:09:55.534+00:00Saw you at the Why China? evening.

What did you make of it - did you learn anything?<br />Does it really matter if people in Jersey have any concerns about developments in China - as the speaker said we cannot influence a country with 1,300 milions people. So we must just carry on in our same old smug, insular way and Jersey is still the centre of the universe. Is that it?<br />Tom Gruchy asksAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4556145924493162530.post-36064818184792077022011-11-24T20:28:11.642+00:002011-11-24T20:28:11.642+00:00Can "YOU" help us out with our E-PETITIO...Can "YOU" help us out with our <a href="http://therightofreply.blogspot.com/2011/11/john-hemming-mp-succeeded-where-i.html" rel="nofollow">E-PETITION</a> please :)Big Ehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15228210750484725153noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4556145924493162530.post-77882823316000474842011-11-19T08:08:22.727+00:002011-11-19T08:08:22.727+00:00Why China?

As you say the thoroughly bred favourite fell at the last! This must be the biggest upset since the Daily Worker tipped Foinavon to win the Grand National - and our very own Honest Nev was not even asked to give odds on the match!<br /><br />Certainly a day for good news - OZO didn't even run. Must surely be retired to the farm now along with a few others put out to grass.<br /><br />With several promising yearlings now in training "they" must be wondering if things could get any worse. The competition will hot up now and all runners will have to be keen to stay in the race. We cannot afford to support any that don't have the urge to succeed. Ears pricked, eyes sparkling - we are all under starters orders now......<br />"Leylandi"Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4556145924493162530.post-45652901881557289962011-11-15T00:22:45.626+00:002011-11-15T00:22:45.626+00:00Nice posting Nick, I just hope Ian Gorst is not as...Nice posting Nick, I just hope Ian Gorst is not as devout a Christian as Le Marquand, else the pantomime will continue unabated.Hiding Behind Godnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4556145924493162530.post-8624735778912008492011-11-14T22:52:47.433+00:002011-11-14T22:52:47.433+00:00Gorst has a social conscience I assume.
