I can not recall the Dean or Deputy Bailiff attending Parliamentary Conferences during my 18 years in the States.<br /><br />Although the Dean does take prayers when he attends, he is also allowed to speak during debates, but rarely does let alone staying in the Chamber during debates. The Deputy sits as President in the Chamber in the absence of the Bailiff, he like the Dean does not have the right to vote.<br /><br />I understand that the office of the Dean of Jersey receives over £25,000 from the States for just being the Dean and to cover his general ‘civic’ role in the Island. This is addition to Dean's salary.<br />1 April 2014 22:46<br />Bob Hillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01834363721495974167noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4596634218626697583.post-11320408342565115552014-04-03T18:04:19.959+01:002014-04-03T18:04:19.959+01:00Bob.

I agree ...Thank you for a very thoughtful Comment.<br /><br />I agree with you regarding the much maligned Korris Report. SPB which I assume stands for Senator/Sir Phillip Bailhache, Bruce Willing and indeed the Dean are all asking why it is still on line. They say that it should be taken down now that the Dean has been “exonerated” or “cleared” which we know is not the case. The Bishop has said that no disciplinary action is being taken which does not mean that any one has been exonerated or cleared.<br /><br />Jan Korris pulls no punches and writes of many short comings and of the failure in dealing with the complaint in a satisfactory manner at the beginning, (for which the Dean has apologised). It is because the report is critical of the Dean and the former Bishop’s handling of the complaint and HG’s subsequent arrest and deportation which stand out like a carbuncle that is why there is the plea for it to be removed. <br /><br />The Korris Report should remain on line with Winchester until the matter of HG’s arrest and deportation is investigated, surely no one (apart from those with something to hide) should object to that matter being investigated. So what is Winchester, Canterbury or our Chief Minister doing about it?????<br /><br />You are right to mention the forgotten person that being HG, hopefully lessons will be learnt but they should not be at her expense or that she be dismissed as not existing.<br />Bob Hillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01834363721495974167noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4596634218626697583.post-28887232485962410022014-03-31T11:06:56.864+01:002014-03-31T11:06:56.864+01:00Bob,

Had Bob Key done what was asked of him when he was asked, HG would probably never have been deported and the whole affair would have blown over within a few weeks.<br />- it demonstrates that people in London do not give a damn about ensuring that the constitutional relationship between Jersey and London benefits anyone outside a small elite. <b>That has got to change</b>.<br />- it demonstrates that the Diocese of Winchester only started to care about what was going on here when someone started harassing the Bishop. <br />- it demonstrates another besetting sin of Jersey people, that of brushing their manifest failures under the carpet and pretending it didn't happen (this means you, Bruce Willing)<br />- if there is any wisdom in this island, it should make people stop and think long and hard about the sort of place that the <i>independent Jersey</i> so beloved of SPB's dreams would be. The culture of protecting the abusers is sadly but evidently being kept alive and well. People, protect your own, because you can be as sure as hell that the authorities won't.<br />- it should at least ensure that the overweening ambition of Bob Key to wear a bishop's purple shirt is thwarted.<br /><br />It is very unfortunate that the one person who fails to benefit as a result is HG, but actually that is a situation that is not as uncommon as you would think. Laws like the so-called <i>Sarah's Law</i> do not benefit the immediate victim, but they do - if well-applied - mean that the likelihood of further similar cases is reduced.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
