“Their malice is matched only by their stupidity and incompetence.”
Graham Power Produces a Commentary
On the Actions of Jersey’s Public Authorities:
Read the full document here:
http://voiceforchildren.blogspot.com/2012/02/former-police-chief-speaks-on.html
“I hope that this information is of assistance to those with an interest in these events. In particular I hope that they will be of value to the most important people in the whole affair, namely the survivors of the long running and systematic abuse of vulnerable children which was conducted in establishments run by the Jersey Government and which went unchallenged for decades.”
Former Police Chief Graham Power, Queens Police Medal.
In response to recent articles by Jersey’s independent journalists, the former Police Chief Graham Power agreed to explain the chronology and key facts involved in the illegal actions taken against him and survivors of child abuse, by Jersey’s public authorities. That full statement can be read here:
http://voiceforchildren.blogspot.com/2012/02/former-police-chief-speaks-on.html
I urge readers to go to the Voice For Children site, and read the full statement; it is clear, succinct and forensic in its deconstruction of events.
To give a flavour of it, I reproduce a few quotes, below.

Excerpts from Graham Power Commentary 1st February 2012
“6: On 10th November 2008 the Chief Officer was off the Island attending to an urgent family welfare issue in the UK. The Deputy Chief Officer, David Warcup, wrote a letter to the Chief Executive to the Council of Ministers (Bill Ogley.) He said that he had that day received an “Interim Report” from the Met which documented their “Initial Findings.” He did not attach a copy of the Met report which he said was “restricted” due to the sensitivity of the information it contained. (Subsequent readers of the alleged “Interim Report” who have offered comment have not been able to identify any content in the report which justifies it being withheld by Mr Warcup, or which could not have been addressed by simple redaction. Those expressing this view include Brian Napier QC who was commissioned to review the matter and whose report is in the public domain. Mr Warcup resigned shortly before the publication of the Napier report.)”
“7: On 11th November 2008 the letter from David Warcup was considered by the then Minister for Home Affairs, Deputy Andrew Lewis. Mr Lewis was about to leave office. He had not stood for re-election in the 2008 Jersey elections which were reaching a conclusion around that time. It was the last, and perhaps only, significant issue he had to deal with during his short political career. In a subsequent statement to Wiltshire Police, prior to which he signed a legal declaration making the statement admissible as evidence in Court, Lewis claimed that he had no concerns regarding the Historic Abuse Enquiry until he received the letter from Warcup on 11th November 2008. The report by Brian Napier QC makes it clear that this part of his statement is untrue. Napier established that for some months Lewis had been meeting secretly with others, including the Chief Executive Bill Ogley and the then Chief Minister Frank Walker, in an effort to devise a means by which the Chief Officer of the Force could be suspended.”
“9: The Jersey Government quickly publicised its actions. The Chief Officers elderly mother learned of his suspension by means of a news item on her local TV station in Yorkshire. The Chief Officers daughter learned the news on her car radio in Sydney. With hindsight the Chief Officer now sees these actions as those of a corrupt and malicious administration resolved to trample over every rule of fairness and justice in an effort to break the spirit and resolve of an individual who is an obstacle to their plans and intentions. It did not work. What they in fact achieved was to initiate a long running and divisive controversy which is alive more than three years afterwards, and which in terms of reputational damage and cost exceeds anything which they may have been seeking to avoid. Their malice is matched only by their stupidity and incompetence.”
Graham Power, Queens Police Medal.

What a complete load of cobblers answering in the States that the Matt report cost only £2,937.50.
One only has to look at bulldozing a car park, laying pipes, cables and granite and couple of sheds and some plants which should have cost no more than three million yet is invoiced at ten million pounds.
This secretive Government opted out of telling how much the (TOTAL ) Radisson's overnighter stocked with well fed and dined civil servants cost or how much Steven Izatt was paid as a bonus.
Then out of the blue, an on side Head Honcho spin doctor gets shown the door by Ex Police Chief Power and welcomed into the arms of Mr Ogley and Walker.
The report was so unimportant, that we didn't think a contract was worth writing and we only paid him three grand says Home affairs Minister Le Marquand, very happy to reveal the figure.
Jersey is an international finance centre, stocked with half wit's and an uneducated population who are supposed to believe this Ministerial crap.
Stop insulting the islanders intelligence Minister Le Marquand, even better publish Graham Powers full submission to Wiltshire then resign from the States.

Yesterday was the last (half) credible chance for ILM to come clean and save his skin as well as his soul.
It must go international now.

It shames me to say this but the more I read of the governments b.s. the more I can see why people would believe their spin and more so how the uphill battle has gone from vertical to almost inverted.
I just dont see anything happening now as it is plainly obvious that no matter how you try to get an answer, be it the truthfull one or even a blatent lie it's now a case of just dont answer.
I cant imagine what it must have been like to be abused as a child and not to be heard when you told about it but I can certainly get some sort of idea what they were up against when it comes to telling the truth.
The problem is no one cares, well not the majority of people as they are too busy looking after themselves. Its a sad fact that its a minority of people here that actually do care.
I was going to say, at what stage did society become like this but I think what is really sad is that it's been like this for a long long time. If you care you care, if you dont think about it then why worry about it, thats life these days, it's such a shame.
"I cant imagine what it must have been like to be abused as a child and not to be heard when you told about it but I can certainly get some sort of idea what they were up against when it comes to telling the truth."
Yes you can imagine: a child reports abuse and the reply - I see no evidence of any abuse, I hear what you are saying but from where I am standing it just does not stack up, Mr X has my full support and quite frankly your rantings will not be believed by anyone, blah blah blah
This can only be dealt with in the UK. It is shocking that this should fall upon your shoulders. One can only conclude that Jersey has become a heady mix of self interest, ignorance and total apathy.
An island filled with corporate lickspittles both in the public and private sector.
We truly live in dark times.
Our society has become hugely bereft of social compassion. And sadly I can only conclude that perhaps it has been that way for many decades.
To claim that it is populated by insular f*ckwits is a gross understatement.
I wish you well Stuart Syvret and would fully understand if you chose not to publish this comment.
"The problem is no one cares"
I think the main problem is that people are too scared to care too much. This brave ex Senator has set an example in that respect. Look how he has been treated. But now, at last, people can see what sort of vile treatment has been metered out to people unfortunate enough to suffer institutional child abuse.If they can do such things to the Father of the Jersey Senate and two highly respected police officers then it should not be too hard to understand what people without any authoritive clout have been suffering.
Jersey bloggers have done a lot of work on behalf of Mr Power & Mr Harper. The only way forward is for Mr Power & Mr Harper to take action eithier litigation or via United Kingdom media.
Stuart I have found a very interesting article from the very first jep regarding their policies and aims I would very much like to share it with you it makes interesting reading,. however it is approx 1000 words long is that too long for your blog or could I post a copy to you?. thankyou for all you do, you will win through in the end, best regards.
Does anyone know where I could find the Royal Court Judicial Review of GP's suspension?
thanks
Re the JEP article.
Yes - studying the historic output of The Rag is often very educational.
It never takes long to see that it has been THE power-source of the Jersey oligarhcy throughout its existence.
The article would be too long to submit as a single comment, but if you wished, you could scan it and e-mail me the result?
Thanks
Stuart
Stuart,
Is this an accurate description of States of Jersey Ministries?
The Home Affairs Ministry is a Public Office (created by an act of the states of Jersey) that has a separate and continuing legal existence, and only one member (the sole officeholder ie the minister m). Contract made with a corporation-sole continues from one officeholder to his or her successor or, if made during a vacancy in office, to the appointee.
If this is correct, how is it possible for the HA minister and the Chief Minister to get away with saying that they can't answer for the previous HA ministers actions because they didn't know what was in his mind at the time?
They can't get away with it.
legal responsibility for the official conduct and actions of the post-holder remains with the Office - in perpetuity.
Simple as.

Jersey people. Classy!
"her new pristine white land rover discovery."
You know, it's just amazing the things people can afford - on a mid-grade law officer's salary.
Stuart
Stuart.
Lest we forget.
In considering these issues the Committee might find it helpful to be alerted to the apparent relationship between the suspension, and what was said to the media and the outside world in general on Wednesday 12 November 2008. During the course of his enquiries on behalf of the Minister, the Chief Constable of Wiltshire has disclosed to me a number of documents. The two most relevant in respect of this issue are the draft media presentation script which was shown to me by Mr Warcup on 5 November 2008, my last working day before a short period of leave, and the script actually used on 12 November 2008. There are significant differences between the two which must have resulted from changes made between 5 and 11 November 2008. For example, the draft script says “It has never been suggested by the States of Jersey Police that Child Murder took place at Haut de Ia Garenne.” The script actually used in the briefings on 11 and 12 November 2008 says “Statements which were issued by the States of Jersey Police suggested that serious criminal offences had been perpetrated against children and also that there was a possibility that children had been murdered, bodies had been disposed of and buried within the home.” Other differences between the scripts are of a similar nature. Against this background it is legitimate to consider another possible explanation for the actual sequence of events. That is, the decision to suspend was taken on or before 8 November 2008 by persons unknown for reasons at present unknown. The media script was then subjected to significant changes (I believe that “sexed up” is a popular term used to describe this type of process) in order to enable the Minister to claim that he took a decision after being shown the content of the presentation on 11 November 2008, and in order to conceal the real reason or purpose behind the action taken. This may or may not be what actually occurred. Until the truth is known we cannot be sure.
There is much crowing on Facebook about the latest impressive listening figures for Channel 103fm. Not looking good for BBC Jersey is it? Maybe they should get the phone-in back!
"The only way forward is for Mr Power & Mr Harper to take action eithier litigation or via United Kingdom media."
Have sent a link to latest blog to Melanie Phillips Daily Mail.She wrote an article on monday gone re poiticians & police re the "new" idea of elected police commisioners in the UK & her fear of this idea being taken on.I suggested she read the link to give an idea of what goes on here & could end up being similar with its problems over there.
As of yet not even an acknowledgment of email & am not holding my breath!!
I am going to write to the Forfeiture Committee and ask that Frank Walker and Elish Angioli's honours be taken away, as both theose people have not omnly covered up institutional child abuse, they have also squandered vast amounts of money persecuting and criminalising whistleblowers. I hope other peoploe will join me in making complaints about these people who are given accolades for being completly rotton.
THE FORFEITURE COMMITTEE
It looks like you have had about 2000 new blog readers in just the past week. Hmmm. Could this be because so many people are finally seeing the evidence behind what you have been saying all along? You have been proved right again, Stuart!

Bid to Publish report into handling of Media
The Chief Miniter is to take steps to try to publish a report by a UK media consultant on the police's handling of the media during the historical child abuse inquiry.
Senator Ian Gorst was asked in the States this week by Deputy Mike Higgins to explain the role of company Matt Tapp Associates in the suspension of the former Police Chief Graham Power.
A UK communicarions consultant, Mr Tapp assisted the Soham murder inquiry team during the major investigation.
Retired
He was taken on by the States of Jersey Police and the States on a short contract in October 2008, three months after deputy police chief Lenny Harper, who was the senior investigating officer on the inquiry, had retired. The Chief Minister told Deputy Higgins that Mr Tapp had been commissioned in October 2008 by the then States Chief executive, Bill Ogley, to carry out a report on the handling by the police of the media during the excavation of Haut de la Garenne between February and October 2008.
Deputy Higgins had asked whether Mr Tapp had been employed on a formal contract and the minister replied that he had not.
During the discussions involving a number of States Members, the suggestion was made that information in his report had been used partly to justify Mr Powers suspension.
However, the Chief Minister said that he could not see how that could have happened because Mr Ogley had not received Mr Tapps report until 23 November 2008, which was after the suspension had taken place on 12 November.
Publish
Following further questions from Deputies Trevor Pitman, Shona Pitman, Montfort Tadier and Mike Higgins, Senator Gorst that he would contact Matt Tapp Associates to find out whether it would be possible to publish the report in redacted form.
Mr Gorst told the JEP that he would like to publish this report which was commissioned and bring it out into the open.
''There isn't anything in it that would not help or be useful for the public debate', he said
Yes, proved right again!
Ironically, when they imprisoned you they probably thought it would quiet things down. Now, Rico and Voice have been busy documenting your ultimate case for Strasbourg based on evidence and timelines. The truth has a strange way of wanting to be free of suppression, doesn't it? Your imprisonment will have only damaged your oppressors.
Oh no, does this mean there will be a new Tapp Report to explain away the old Fake Met Report?
LOOK AT THIS - I AM SPEECHLESS!!!
MORAG AND ANTHONY JORDAN
I am just wondering if some agency or other helped them with this project, because the victims of institutional child abuse can't even get access to proper NHS treatment like "normal" people take for granted.
You people are a disgrace. Morag Jordan has paid her debt to society and is therefore allowed to lead a normal life.
Stuart.
The Jordans were lambs to the SLAUGHTER
A reader says:
"You people are a disgrace. Morag Jordan has paid her debt to society and is therefore allowed to lead a normal life."
What?
You mean just like I'm able to lead a normal life?
For having tried to protect my my constituents from child abuse and psychopathic rogue nurses?
She tortured vulnerable children.
Stuart
The pain and suffering caused by Morag Jordan and her husband will continue on throughout the entire lives of many. Has she even tried to make earnest amends to those she treated with such cruelty?
I am sure that the crimes that the Jordana were convicted of were just the tip of the iceberg. Having lived in Haut De La Garenne in the days of Tilbrook (now long dead)I can appreciate the "culture" of brutalisation that went on in that place. I was too young and too innocent to fully understand what went on until much later in life. When you were in that place you got to believe that what went on was normal. I should imagine that was the same in the Jordans' time there - children not respected and damaged for life. I believe several of their victims have never been heard. Others from my time there have never had a chance to get justice as their perpetrators of violence and sexual assault have died. The passage of time may have enabled them to escape but I will never forget them or their victims.
Lorna
MORE LAWFUL STUFF
Hmmmm, they've got no answer to "I'm still here." have they?
"You people are a disgrace. Morag Jordan has paid her debt to society and is therefore allowed to lead a normal life."
This excuse for a woman may well have paid a small debt legally, but morally she will never be able to recompense for the damage she caused to vulnerable children.
Her sentence has been served, but the sentence inflicted on those she chose to abuse is a life sentence, no more, no less.

With several hundred new readers per day on this blog, the cover up will become known as the scandal of the Jersey Feudalist's failed cover up.
Stuart you are right again, it,s official Jersey has a mafia,On radio this am a programme hosted by Carrie and Sara,at 11.17 they were interviewing a Dr John Taylor about Egypt on Jersey,s north coast, he went on to say that he has connections with Egypt Farm as his wife was born there, and when he got married the late Sir Peter Crill told him Quote,I suppose when you came to Jersey you had no idea you would be marrying into the Jersey Mafia.
Of course Jersey has a mafia. One of the most remarkably successful mafias in the world.
It has achieved that status through the strategy of “hiding in plain sight”.
Wiktionary defines the word ‘mafia’ thus: -
“‘mafia’
From Italian mafia (“spirit of hostility to the law”), from Sicilian mafia (“boldness, bravado”)
Noun
mafia (plural mafias)
1. A crime syndicate;
2. A trusted group of associates of a political leader;
3. An in-group.”
How is that not a perfect description of the entrenched nexus of “business”, legal, judicial and political power so clearly monopolised by Jersey’s traditional ruling elite?
In fact, the only thing that challenges the word ‘mafia’ in being THE perfect one-word description of the Jersey establishment – is the word ‘oligarchy’.
Either will do.
And that both words are so apposite is not even credibly disputable amongst thinking people.
Look across Western Europe - you will find no other jurisdiction or enclave as openly corrupt and stagnant in all its public institutions and authorities as Jersey.
Jersey is the “Picture of Dorian Grey” that the British Crown keeps hidden in the attic.
Stuart
"..Jersey is the 'Picture of Dorian Grey' that the British Crown keeps hidden in the attic.."
Quite right; very well put. Another term one could use to describe the local Cosa Nostra would be "idiocracy".
Stuart.
Could I ask that your Jersey readers PARTICIPATE?
How strange - latest Rag attempt to smear the campaign for justice
http://www.thisisjersey.com/news/2012/02/06/1-4m-cost-of-police-disciplinary-reviews/
There are 3 silly comments from cover-up supporters, but we can't add to it, to argue the truth, as there's no comment box!
Ruby Thursday - thanks for that comment. I recommend that readers outside Jersey look at the linked Jersey Evening Post article. What is revealed is a "newspaper" that long ago left the radar-screen of credibility.
In addition to those three absurd comments, it is worth noting that the story fails to convey - at all - the fact that there is now a very substantive body of published documented evidence - that shows the suspension of Graham Power to have been a criminal act.
So amongst those responsible for any wasted public money - is Frank Walker - who was instrumental in driving that unlawful action.
Strangely enough - coincidences, eh? - it so happens it's a topical consideration.
I'll just remind readers of something I wrote in the posting of the 19th November 2008, concerning the JEP - known locally simply as The Rag - and it's most powerful boss, John Averty: -
"But why – in these times – in the year 2000 – in the year 2007 – in the year 2008 – should a “newspaper” – moreover the only newspaper on the island – take such a shockingly irrational, dishonest and immoral stance in respect of sexual crimes?
It’s mystifying – isn't it?
So – to try and get to the bottom of this mystery – I want to explore some of the history - some of the key figures – of power and influence at The Rag.
And this is where you – dear readers – come into play.
We are starting with the mysterious John Averty.
Although an obscure figure to the average Jersey person – he will still be very well known – perhaps going back some decades – to a not insignificant number of Jersey men and women.
And I ask this question – because I've been asked to ask it by some constituents – does anyone out there have any enlightening material?
Anything which could shed some light on the obscure past of Mr Averty?
If so – you are not alone.
I repeat – you are not alone.
So – let that message go out – that we are beginning our examination of the festering reality of The Rag with one of its more mysterious and obscure figures – John Averty.
Feel free to contact me privately if you wish.
I think, perhaps, next time, we’ll take a close look at Rob Shipley – but for the time being – search your memories and experiences for any recollection of John Averty.
Like I said – you are not alone."
Now - I think we need to be taking a close look - don't we - at the suspension of Graham Power?
Don't we, Frank?

I found something of yours Stuart, I think it needs re-posting.
essential reading
I have received a comment concerning Jon Sharrock Haworth - Jersey's most pathetic troll and all-round dysfunctional inadequate.
I'm not, however, posting it because it refers to innocent third-parties.
Stuart
This evening I will be publishing an article concerning the suspension of Graham Power.
The article is based upon freshly obtained evidence.
The legal implications are as serious as they get.
Stuart
Lucy Mason is attacking the HDLG enquiry again in the paper today. Says its time to put it to rest and stop making accusations based on hearsay and not based on actual evidence.
Lucy Mason would do well to remember that if her bosses had not been So one sided about child abuse ,the enquiry would have ceased and the victims Would now be getting on with their lives.
Well - what else could we expect from The Rag?
But if Lucy Mason labours under the delusion she is an actual journalist - as opposed to PR copy writer - perhaps should would like to produce several detailed stories for her bosses on the evidenced - 'evidenced', note - illegal suspension of Police Chief Graham Power?
Tell you what - I rarely ever speak to the JEP - but I'll make an offer. If Lucy Mason wishes to contact me - I will explain the evidence to her - furnish her with copies - and give a detailed interview about the Power suspension - and the legal and constitutional ramifications thereof.
How about that?
Perhaps someone will convey my offer to her.
Stuart
Readers can skip this comment as it is an aside into the parallel universe of the JEP.
I had thought that now it was under the spotlight the JEP had been getting better about not CENSORING 'unacredited' opinions
- I was wrong -Yesterdays story :
www.thisisjersey.com/news/2012/02/06/1-4m-cost-of-police-disciplinary-reviews/
where it turned out that ILM had forgotten about £500,000 of his Graham Power/Cover Up spend.
(has any one added up how many millions they have spent failing to "bury" this child abuse business ?)
I left a post which was displayed(review) as #1 at the time.
When I looked later there were a couple of short "establishment troll" posts and the third post by one called "Zorro"
My post remained unpublished even thought there were more recent posts published on on the site.
I looked again today and not only was my post not shown, but they had deleted all comments and disabled the commenting facility.
I suspect that the subject could have been getting a bit "hot", with the pet trolls looking a little stupid
So as ever in Jersey we are not permitted to form, hold or express, certain opinions on certain subjects
It is with its coverage and censorship that the JEP molds our society and even chooses our election winners and effectively our government.
The world is changing, paper media are dying, the JEP knows this and has recently upgraded it's web presence in weak response.
What "thisisjersey" will discover though, is that this information-controlling-behaviour on web based media is untenable because they cannot maintain their monopoly and their censorship will only serve to hasten the death of their site -and indeed their paper publication as more people realise that it only tells you the bits of the news that it wants you to know about. It is just advertising !
The inevitable eventual (& probably quite soon) loss of JEP monopoly press power is probably why Philip Bailache is so determined to further hamstring our democracy with his conflicted involvement with the Electoral Commission
Just looked again and the story is still available on the above link, but it has just been removed from the access list at:
http://www.thisisjersey.com/news/page/1/
[....page/2/ ..../3/ giving access to older stories]
So it is now impossible to find without the link; THEY MAY EVEN BE IN THE PROCESS OF DELETING IT ENTIRELY.
Talk about filtering the news!
It is a dilemma for them - they are like a rabbit in the headlights, jumping this way and that.
What are they up to ?
The only way they can rescue their business and their credibility is to become a real news organisation worthy of the name.
I do not think they will be able to do it.
And if they did, would you ever really feel that you could trust them?
For the record here is my post, which is probably only one of the many they censored:

Roll on the posts about how it was all Mr.Power's fault he was (wrongly!) suspended.

I am posting this comment on those Jersey blogs that have highlighted Lucy Mason's opinion piece today.
What I would like to point out is that the unfortunate caption under the picture "Time to let the historical abuse inquiry rest" may not have been written by her, but added by her editors during page layout. Who knows? Well, maybe she does, but she's not really in a position to tell us, if she didn't write that bit.
What she actually said in her opinion piece was "Every document relating to the issue, every email, report, memo and scrap of paper should be printed out, piled up and then chucked up in the air in the middle of the Royal Square. Then, and only then, everyone, including those directly involved, can get on with their lives".
What she is effectively saying is "We need a totally transparent public inquiry. Only then can this be put to the rest, for all parties".
Which is exactly what the bloggers are saying, isn't it?
So, before people attack her, read her piece again. You can't blame her for the picture tagline. Her real message is in the body of the article.
Unfortunately for Lucy, I think her hopes are rather forlorn, given the fallout that would ensue from her suggestion.
BTW, her contact details are not hard to find on the internet.
If the words
"Every document relating to the issue, every email, report, memo and scrap of paper should be printed out, piled up and then chucked up in the air in the middle of the Royal Square. Then, and only then, everyone, including those directly involved, can get on with their lives".
Equate to
"We need a totally transparent public inquiry. Only then can this be put to the rest, for all parties".
Then my name is Jimmy Bloody Saville
Re: "If the words...Then my name is Jimmy Bloody Saville"
I genuinely believe Lucy Mason is trying to say that the best course of action would be for every relevant document to be openly published.
That is a fantasy, it will never happen. Or maybe it will? Who knows?
The metaphor she chooses ("piled up and then chucked up in the air in the middle of the Royal Square") is perhaps a poor one, it does not express her intent as well as she might have hoped, in my opinion.
She is a young reporter who has to sit in the States and endure the stupid (and costly) game that is being played out for all to see. She just seems to be saying to both sides "Enough! Enough of this long, drawn out game. Give the public ALL of the information and let them decide".
As I said before, it is a forlorn hope, borne of youthful inexperience. She is expressing an ideal. It ain't ever going to happen, given the very serious constraints that are in place.
Perhaps we will get a clarification from her in due course?
