I wrote today about the rather nasty threats being made against Deputy Montfort Tadier in Jersey because he had said there is tax evasion taking place in Jersey - something so widely internationally acknowledged that you would think it would pass without a moment's notice.
But Senator Ozouf. the Finance Minister, wanted to threaten and so suggested that is Montfort Tadier knew there was evasion and did not go to the police then he could be committing a crime. The threat was obvious. And now it is clear it was deliberate because the threat has been made again by Geoff Cook of Jersey Finance - the power behind Jersey. In a blog issued today he has said:
If Deputy Tadier's claims are any more than wild allegations he must be in possession of information regarding illegal activity, and he should pass this information immediately to the authorities, indeed he has an obligation to do so.
They're not wild allegations: they're what the UK government is saying. That's some backing, I'd suggest. But not for Jersey. You can just hear the police investigation beginning to swing into action.
I repeat; this is a place that can no longer be trusted to self govern. But maybe that's what this is about. Maybe, just maybe, they want to create a constitutional crisis as the reason for declaring independence. Wilder things have happened before now.
But in the meantime Montfort needs the support of all honest people.

“Obligation to do so” could mean in the service of being a Jersey politician, a representative of the island (or atleast 1/2 a parish), a decent human being. It does not logically follow to “or I shall have you arrested”.
Thank you for spreading your lies about Jersey, if your fans believe what you say without seeing past your blatant cognitive bias/ignorance they are more deluded than you are.
You are welcome to your view, of course
The trouble for you is all you and Jersey do is bully and insult
We just talk facts and the world believes us
And with regard to the threats – remember what they did to Stuart Syvret?
Or worse?
Pirate, Jersey is quite capable of spreading its own lies, that’s why hearing the truth from Monfort Tadier is such a refreshing change.
Does “Haut de la Garenne” maean anything to you?

By the way I’ve chosen an article from that well known “left wing” newspaper, “The Telegraph”, so that you can say that the reporting is biased.
Here’s some telling extracts from that article:-
“Critics of the island’s oligarchic establishment believe they already know the answer: that Jersey, with its long-standing culture of secrecy, put self-preservation before justice.
And it is this allegation of an establishment cover-up, with its echoes of Belgium’s notorious Marc Dutroux case, which is likely to leave the most indelible stain on Jersey’s cherished reputation.”
and
“In almost every case, these individuals say that they can not risk being quoted by name, because they are genuinely afraid of being persecuted for speaking out. “The people who run this island are very powerful, and they are not answerable to any higher authority, so they can very easily make life difficult for you,” says one. “Anyone who speaks out is regarded as an enemy of Jersey.””
Quite so
I’ve refrained from that – though I am not really sure why
You’re right to raise it
Not sure why you are bringing up Stuart Syvret on here. An intelligent man no doubt but full of his own self importance. Why didn’t he just face up to making a mistake and pay his fine rather than creating a complete pantomime at a ridiculous cost to his fellow islanders. In this instance the thing that irks me is that Monty and others on the left have absolutely no solutions to diversifying our economy. I would have more respect if he was to come forward with credible solutions to move Jersey away from the reliance on the Finance industry.
“And with regard to the threats — remember what they did to Stuart Syvret?”
I thought he threatened to sue you for not promising him a job or something?
Stuart actually had me investigated by the Jersey police for allegedly blackmailing a Senator – a charge so spurious it was absurd
So I have no reason to me enamoured by him
But he was also destroyed by the Jersey establishment, using the police as their ally
Richard he destroyed himself because the laws he broke are applicable to everyone.
He has not broken any law
Having systemic data of corruption does not require a police report
Threatening it is an example of bullying at its kindest, a police state more likely
I recommend you read the Court Transcripts of his cases because they are all mainly online. The Laws he broke even the Motor Traffic Law are clearly listed.
It surprises me that even you of all people still believe such conspiracy mumbo jumbo even after having first hand experience of the made up rubbish he tried to hit you with.
Oh yes, I believe it
Even after that
It’s true
