		<description><![CDATA[From M Messiter.
SO the States of Jersey police want Asbos (Anti-Social Behaviour Orders) to deal with our troublesome youths. Not surprising when you remember that the States police has to be headed by an officer brought in from the UK, which leads to the tendency to view the English way as the best, even the only way, of doing things. I am very surprised that Senator Ian Le Marquand agrees – I would have expected his experience in the court to have led him to the opposite view.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[From Nathan Jordan.
WHEN I was studying in Paris, I was asked to give a short presentation on Victoria College. I mentioned the quaint fashion of teachers wearing robes (my father tells me this was also a good way to keep chalk off his suit) and also about the house system. One girl asked that if such schools were private, why were they referred to as ‘public’? I explained that this was because any child could study there. My British friend then claimed that in practice there were minimum standards of intelligence and fees to be met.]]></description>

MAY I add my thoughts on Liberation Day. I was 14 years of age at the time and, like your reader Jeff Le Caudey, I was in the Royal Square on 8 May 1945. Yes, the National Anthem was not only played but sung by the huge crowd gathered with tears of joy.]]></description>

POSSIBLY the only positive thing to emerge from the recent conflict between the beleaguered Jersey Harbours and the strength of feeling of the boat owners of St Helier over the flooding of the Old Harbour was the intervention of the Economic Minister, as reported in the JEP on 5 February.]]></description>
