The Guardian article published under the headline ‘Jersey threatens to break from the UK’ repeats statements made locally in the past by Senator Sir Philip Bailhache that Jersey should be prepared for independence if it becomes in the Island’s interests.
Speaking to the JEP this morning Senator Bailhache said the article had been a fair representation of what he said when he met with the Guardian journalist a month ago, before the K2 scheme hit the headlines.
‘I think the only unfortunate thing about the article was the headline “Jersey threatens to break from the UK” – that is not Jersey’s position,’ he said.
