Speechless is really not enough. But I have no words I can put on here publicly 🤬 if the same standards were applied in hospital we would see a prosecution every week. It makes no sense.
BREAKING: Two members of Jersey's Ambulance Service have been found guilty of failing to adequately care for a man in the moments before he died.
Paramedic John Sutherland, 61, and ambulance technician Tom Le Sauteur, 36, had both denied the charges.

Can we please just get on and legalise it? You can’t have ~10% of the working age population on a prescribed controlled drug and pretend that’s normal. It’s a 2-tier society - those that can legalise their use by paying for a prescription and those who would still go to prison 🤷♂️
🔺NEW:
A medicinal cannabis clinic clampdown could be on the horizon after an audit revealed "significant" differences between Jersey and England – with 6% of the island's working population holding a prescription compared to just 0.05% over the water⬇️

These arguments over regulating private landlords are so odd - if 11m more properties went onto Airbnb the prices would collapse. Alternatively if landlords pull out and sell their property, we have more owner occupiers. Why is that a bad thing?

This is not normal behaviour, and men doing this should neither be in charge of peoples training nor patient care (and quite frankly should be in prison). Men with power have been abusing it for years, but as with recent legal cases powerful people can be held to account.

Spot on. Epidemiology is different, and the resources available to respond are minimal. People need to stop travelling off-island, stop congregating, work from home if possible, and look after the vulnerable. We can still stop it, but we're running out of time.
Island epidemiology is different. Now that

Yet an estimated 2/3 earn less than the mean of £42k, with the median approx £32k. And the average house price is £629k. So somewhere between 15-20x the average salary. Jersey, we have a problem…
Full-time workers in Jersey are now paid an average of £42,640 a year, but factoring in inflation, the island's average earnings haven't risen by more than 0.5% since 2001.
