From Gerard Baudains. ONCE again I am disappointed by the comments of our former Bailiff. He does seem to be incredibly out of touch with public opinion and his proposal to spend an extra £10m of taxpayers’ money on the Heritage Trust does nothing to change my opinion.

From Gerard Baudains. PAULA Thelwell’s article regarding the new Island Plan (JEP, 19 November) was excellent – except for one major mistake.

Whether one believes in global warming or not, a few facts may change people’s views on the necessity to reduce carbon dioxide. Without mentioning any […]

From Gerard Baudains. NEW States Members will, by now, have discovered several things: there is much more work than they realised or the public thinks, and they will be unable to keep some of their election promises. On the matter of workload, members will realise they cannot do everything; our multi-discipline government simply doesn’t allow […]

From Gerard Baudains. I WRITE to express concern regarding the recent exhortation by consultant Dr Muscat with regard to flu vaccination. Whether he was speaking on behalf of Health and Social Services or privately is not made clear, but the problem remains that the article was misleading. I have written before on flu vaccination, viral […]
