From Trevor Green

I WOULD like to congratulate the former Bailiff Sir Philip Bailhache for the views he expressed concerning the report submitted by Lord Carswell, in your excellent Saturday Interview (JEP, 18 December).

Sir Philip is one hundred percent correct in his analysis of the report. The loss of the Bailiff in his dual role would be catastrophic in many ways to the prosperity of the Island.

As to the siren voice of the Deputy of St Martin (a Jerseyman to boot) – if he does not like the way we do things, then he knows the answer.

To support Sir Philip what better way than the excellent sketch by Al Thomas. Yes, all you people should remember: ‘We won the battle in 1066 and long may we retain our traditions and be proud to celebrate them the Jersey Way.’
