From Alan Anderson.
ANNA Plunkett-Cole’s diatribe (JEP, 8 November) against the so-called parking perks of the Crown Officers is an example of that mean self-serving spirit that has begun to permeate, nay poison, Jersey society.

These men occupy a crucial position in the judicial hierarchy and I am content to regard their free parking not as a privilege but as an appurtenance of their important office.

To compare her difficulty in finding a parking space is farcical. She is relatively unimportant. For you to publish two large photographs of the Crown Officers is at best padding and at worst an insidious attempt to criminalise the Crown Officers in the eyes of readers akin to those recent photos of British fugitives being sought on the Costa Brava.

If Ms Plunkett-Cole wrote for a UK paper, one could imagine her demanding that the Prime Minister contribute to the cost of his bodyguard. In common parlance, Anna, ‘chuck it, and get a life!’
