As explained by Stuart Syvret, Iris Le Feuvre was responsible for Education in the states of Jersey. The McGuires were abusers who were actually complimented by the states for their services. (you were best to read Senator Syvret's blog)
The Senator is, at present, very shocked with the treatment that the abusers had and the fact that the McGuires will not face jail. More than fair enough !
I am not at all surprised.
Here is a letter I sent Straw. The refurbishments wizard:
Dear Justice Secretary,
I have felt compelled to write to you this open letter expressing my frustration and deep sense of injustice with respect to the way in which the Haut de la Garenne child abuses at Jersey have been addressed, both by the islands establishment and by the UK government. I would, therefore, like to ask that the UK take over the investigation and appoint an independent legal team.
It is by now clear to the public that there has been a consistent breakdown of the rule of law at Jersey and that the only argument for permitting ongoing obstruction to the police investigation and to the fair administration of justice has been system justification.
The UK is responsible for safeguarding its own commitments to universal human rights, in the face of Europe and the world. It would be a betrayal to us all,and contrary to the spirit of its own involvement in Iraq and Afganistan, if it were to abandon its passion for the guarantee of fair play. The horrors described by the victims of abuse struck us all as unparalleled, and to think that the same rule that allowed and even concealed them is now being trusted to deliver justice constitutes a meaningful discredit to governance at Jersey and, up to now, in the UK.
The Jersey establishment has made clear throughout the years the type of very flawed justice that it can provide. To allow this beloved island and its people to fall under the grip of oppression and hopelessness strikes as unbearable to many who, like me, believe that the promotion of freedoms in the world should be both peaceful and consistent.
The estranged government of Jersey cannot guarantee elementary constituents of a competent and modern democracy and it should not be trusted to carry this mater through.
The UK has been an historical beacon of freedoms and guarantees and, as a nation, it has never collectively bowed in the face of interests, threats or attacks. This traditional spirit has been one of your most admired traits and it is still very much an intrinsic component of modern Britain. Please do not allow it to evanesce into the fast, bright lights of an all too convenient compass. The people of Britain, and not just, deserve to be able to trust, as their unity is above all else a unity of confidence.
Yours faithfully,
(yours truly)
He told his secretary to tell me that the states are a Crown Dependency.
I had already heard !
There is something that I did not tell Straw, or Blair or John Major or Maggie Thatcher or - hold on and on and on - Winston Churchill (?) and that is that upholding human rights and the rule of law is THE function of the state. This is a fact that the British government does not recognize. Plain and simple (and I haven't even read Noam Chomsky yet !).
In my case, I was damaged both professionally and personally, financially and physically by the malfeasance of the Jersey States and the collusion of the British government. Perhaps that was its very intent, to obtain indirect gains through lowering my leverage to carry out science, professional development, enterprise, personal relations and even education. Perhaps it was to favour its own initiatives and enterprises with a feudal flavour.
As Ali G would say, "its cos I is black". And "they is crooks".
What Straw told me is plainly not acceptable. He is going to get two lawsuits instead of just one !
The lib dem are taking legal steps in international court of law and I am considering the same move.
It is even hilarious that the British Government has allowed the situation to go as far as it has. No one even believes that there can be a Spanish Inquisition.
Toodeloo, chaps.

Mone(y)tization and suicide watch
I just could not resist at my shot of becoming Bob Hope (nothing to do with president Obama here).
What do MP's and Ian Huntley have in common?
They have all confessed and they have all been under suicide watch.
The trouble with firing the present MP's is that the new ones will think that the money is not right.
How did Tony Blair end up a millionaire ? He was true to his nature.
Why did the duck cross the road ? To get to the floating house.

Deliberate cargo cult theory
Looking at my blog made me realize that my arguments have been a tat circular and centered around single issue. It made me realize that, after all, I have been trained as a theoretical physicist at Cambridge and therefore forwarding theories runs through my scientific veins like honey used to run through the fountains of security options before the credit crunch.
Cargo cult is a curious thing, it takes root in primitive civilizations as a fundamental logical misunderstanding of causation. Richard Feynman, the Physics nobel prize winner made an influential speech about the subject that is a classic for any natural scientist. Like primitives invented the wheel, Archimedes the buoyancy principle, Einstein the theory of relativity and Darwin the evolution of species, so has Feynman discovered the fundamental trappings of modern policy making: Cargo cult.
Let us analyze the premises that any politician fulfills in their path to glory.
First, let us define politics:
Politics is popular action through representatives.
Necessary conditions for a politician:
1) Must be representative of an opinion that is general enough and accurate enough to warrant a sufficient number of supporters.
Therefore :
2) Must find a way to transmit and produce his views to the masses.
Therefore:
3) Must get elected for office.
When adequatelly implemented this results in a vehicle for popular action.
How can these conditions be changed to allow perversion, or if you prefer, subversion of the electoral process ? Simple !
1) Must get elected for office.
Therefore - spin - :
2) Must find a way to transmit and produce his views to the masses.
Therfore - spin - :
3) Must be representative of an opinion that is general enough and accurate enough to warrant a sufficient number of supporters.
The causation between the first set of necessary conditions and the second is not the same and they are, in fact, in direct opposition to one another. The second set is cargo cult and is anti-democratic.
QED.
The reader will tend to say that he already knew the theorem. Like the Pythagoras theorem, it is the one that everyone understands but during the GCSE's fails to apply. To the practitioners of politics it is also a deliberate fallacy.

ARREST OF SENATOR STUART SYVRET
“That this House deplores the arrest and detention of Senator Stuart Syvret by the Jersey Police Force for alleged infractions of data protection laws; notes that the Senator was in receipt of information disclosed in the public interest, with which he is attempting to hold the Jersey government to account for a variety of profoundly serious child protection and clinical governance failures; condemns the manner of the Senator's arrest and the subsequent searching of his home by the police without a search warrant; further condemns the fact that substantial quantities of his constituents' private data were taken and copied by the Jersey police; considers this an intimidatory and anti-democratic action which the Senator is virtually powerless to challenge given the politicisation of the Jersey judiciary and the propensity of the Jersey legislature to oppress minority members; and calls on the Secretary of State for Justice to fulfil his duties by exercising his constitutional powers to intervene and ensure good governance and the proper administration of justice in Jersey through requiring a separation of powers and the imposition of effective checks and balances in order that survivors of child abuse, and other victims of malfeasance gain the proper protection of justice; and considers that through such actions the UK will return to compliance with its obligations under the European Convention on Human Rights, obligations which are breached by tolerating the situation in Jersey.”

Blair - Expensive
Tony Blair has claimed expenses on his mortgages.
What if he makes it to Brussels ? Who is going to pay for the trauma ?

LGC Forensics and Jersey, the tropical island.
It appears that the forensic work for the Haut de La Garenne affair was carried out at LGC forensics, Oxford. Given that Lenny Harper was accused of incompetence, and now that they think we should doubt most things, could it be that LGC was insufficient ? In other words could it be that LGC has hindered the research ? How come the skull turned out to be a coconut ? Tropical island ?
The "top" cop they sent in wants a quiet, well paid, retirement and knows how to be praised by the establishment.
See the blog about the latest on the cover up.
The Jersey affair, with the collusion of the UK governance, does constitute a grave violation of civil rights in the island and elsewhere. The right to individual freedom, the right to investigation, fair trial, etc, etc, etc.
I find it difficult to believe that the BBC is a problem in Jersey without being an issue in the UK. The collusions of the BBC with the establishment are ill explained. There has to be a good reason why the BBC never denounced the abuse during 30 years of prior knowledge. The inconvenience of the news possibly stems from infiltrated abusers, or otherwise plain irresponsibility.
