Two men of integrity
Share this:
From Douglas and Rosemary Legg.
WHAT an excellent letter from Deputy Le Hérissier (JEP, 16 July). Everything he states is absolutely right and known only too well by ‘the man in the street’ – but ‘the man in the street’ has no power and those in power have been proven to have different agendas.
We have always had great respect for Deputy Le Hérissier for his constant good sense and caring attitude, as well as his undoubted ability. We have heard a number of comments about how good it would be to have him for our Chief Minister. It is so sad that he has been subjected to serious personal insult from Senator Ozouf – this tells us a lot about Senator Ozouf.
The people who voted for Senator Le Gresley and Deputy Le Hérissier did so because they knew that these were two men of integrity whose agenda would be solely the good of the Island and its people; men who not only had ability but genuine concern for those they served.
These qualities are sadly lacking in the States. It is still hard to believe that the member who said the elderly who could not afford to keep warm should take in lodgers and share beds etc. was not just making a very silly joke.
This is just one of many comments and decisions that have sickened us as we watch the crazy squandering of our money on huge salaries and projects that have little bearing on the welfare of Islanders or the Island – though they may make profit and kudos for those who implement them.
To quote Deputy Le Hérissier again, ‘One of the real tragedies of Jersey’s government at present is the marginalisation of good people, based on the spurious belief that if you are not with us you are against us.’ How true and how sad.
We can only hope that Senator Le Gresley and Deputy Le Hérissier and the other ‘good people’ in the States will not be ousted by those with a different agenda.
Sadly, this is only a hope. Time will show.
