From Michael Blampied.
SHOULD Master Jeremy Maçon (I consider the title Mr inappropriate in the circumstances) have a modicum of integrity/pride/sense (admittedly unlikely, given recent revelations), he would immediately tender his resignation as Deputy for St Saviour No 1 District.

Sorry, Deputy-elect Maçon, but you really should resign

From Brendan McDonald.
IF ever there was a good reason for our States Members to abort the planned development on the Waterfront, the events of last week have given them that valid reason. Or, to be correct, two good reasons.
The world is facing financial meltdown and we blindly force this through

From William Rennox.
THE world is facing a financial meltdown, the finance industry doesn’t know what the future holds, companies are laying off thousands of employees, and what do we do in Jersey?

Political expediency?

From Chris Fairbairn.
I JUST love the letters that, not dissimilar to a pin used to remove the meat from a winkle, get the dinosaur of local party politics out into the open justifying who they are and, more importantly, what they do.
We spend our money on the wrong things

All the forts and follies are part of our heritage
December 3, 2008 – 2:58 pm
From Lee Popejoy.
I AM writing about the article ‘Within these wall’ (JEP, 28 November) and the plan to demolish a St Ouen’s Bay fort.
What would we do if the banks left?
December 3, 2008 – 2:57 pm
From Ron Davey.
IF the two lightweight Senators Ozouf and Cohen were as cautious as Senators Shenton and Perchard, they might avoid what could be a total disaster. Senator Ozouf says the next phase of the Waterfront development must go ahead. Repeat: must go ahead.
Senator Walker had no precedent to guide him in the role of Chief Minister
December 3, 2008 – 2:56 pm
From Derek Maltwood.
SOON all elected States Members will vote for a new Chief Minister.














Let’s start acting with simple common sense
From Maurice Boots.
THE recent action in the Irish High Court which contested the rights of certain Irishmen to profit from the Waterfront development was settled out of court.
