I am sitting here asking myself, the Hansard Scholars programme - are the right sort of people being given authority in this important work?

It is Rico Sorda's inability to access Hansard Jersey that made me look for reasons why he was unable to find information on important Government papers.

There is something definatly not right here.

Recently I was asked to sign a petition complaining about David Cameron, but I wish I had not signed it now because I have a strong feeling that the people who are complaining about Cameron care a lot less about this country and its people than he does.

I am a survivor of the Staffordshire Pindown child abuse regime and I am distraught that a man who has helped me so much, while I was being persecuted in the secret family courts, Senator Stuart Syvret, who blew the whistle on institutional child abuse in Jersey is right now in La Moye prison, convicted for a very minor paperwork ommission offence - he forgot to change the address on his driving insurance.

Stuart has been persecuted for helping people like me. It's made me feel really distraught to see him being persecuted for helping me, it's made me feel guilty. I have written to him in prison, I've had to stop writing because I am so upset about him being in jail that I fear my letters might be more of a hindrance to him than a help, and I don't want to burden him any more with my distress.

All the time, the people who put him in jail are laughing, mocking, dancing with joy.

I feel so powerless, and just ask the Lord Jesus to sort out this awful mess.

18 October 2006 at 18:24Report as abuseAsher Pirie guys, I'm lookin for this track i heard but I don't know who its by. It was a kinda pacy fusion of sparsely packed layer beats and new school funklines. The dragtune was proper twisted like Theo Von Scrotplay's evening groove tracks. Does anyone know these beats? Let me know, I'm off to drop some angel cakes - the night starts here!!

It'll blow your mind and your balls!!!!!

This might seem old fashioned to some people, but if a person is going to work for a Government agency is it not too much to ask that they uphold a certain level of sobriety in their personal lives?

"Let me know, I'm off to drop some angel cakes - the night starts here!!"

I understand "angel cakes" are round disks of crack cocaine.

I just went to the Hansard site to look at the Staffordshire Pindown debates to check if they are still there. This is what came up:
