Counting the cost of a collapse

From Keith Shaw. While it is often interesting to see how some politicians gravitate to business prize winners and entrepreneurs presumably to bask in their moment of glory, it can take a brave person to question what basis is the business founded upon.


Business as usual will not work any longer

From Nick Palmer. I APPRECIATED Daniel Wimberley’s swansong letter (JEP, 14 October), as he approaches the end of his too brief membership of the States.


This is what I want – so how should I vote?

From Mike Pitman. WHO shall I vote for tomorrow? Shall I even vote at all this time or shall I finally join those thousands whose disillusion with their government has driven them, many elections ago, to abandon the ballot box?


Stay passionate on topic of GST

From William Church. I READ with interest you feature letter entitled, ‘The struggle to buy a small basket of food’ by Chris Whitworth (JEP, 12 October).


New brooms for a catalogue of failures

From Deputy Daniel Wimberley. WHICH way to vote – that is the question? I have put together a website which is aimed at helping the voter (whichwayshallivote.wordpress.com) but may I offer here some thoughts, or rather questions?


Scheme that should be welcomed by all

From John Le Maistre. THERE has been a lot of talk over the proposed traffic calming in the area of the junction of Rue à Don and Rue de la Ville ès Renauds in Grouville.


The struggle to buy a small basket of food

From election candidate Chris Whitworth. IN his recent letter to this paper (JEP, 7 October) Craig Leach has criticised every candidate in the build-up to Jersey’s first general election who has uttered the words: ‘We must take GST off food.’


Goal posts moved and an own goal scored

From Alan Le Rossignol. WOW, what a reversal of opinion you reported (JEP, 5 October). Interesting political chicanery.


Grant predates fund established for tourism

From John Henwood. I SHOULD be grateful for the opportunity to correct aspects of Peter Funk’s letter (JEP, 5 October) on relations between the Jersey Race Club and the Tourism Development Fund.


Toe the school line or you will be removed

From Mike de Petrovsky. YOUR article ‘Sparing the rod’ (JEP, 28 September) reminded me of my own schooldays.
