IT WAS interesting to read Matt Fallaize’s interview with Deputy Peter Ferbrache (Guernsey Press 27 April). Much was made by Matt of Deputy Ferbrache’s origins.
Fresh agreement on nuclear deterrents after talks between US and South Korea.
We look at some of the best examples on social from April 27.
THE Guernsey islands are unique, blending the diversity of outstanding natural beauty, always close to the sea, with modern living and fully retaining a community spirit of strong, moral values.
It remains unclear whether North Korea has developed nuclear bombs small enough to fit on its long-range rockets.
THE PROBLEM WITH P & R’s plans A, B, and C as summarised on your front page of 8 February, is that they all rely on raising additional taxes, with only vague mention being made of cost savings.
I have waited until my 60th year in Guernsey before making the following suggestions. Sixty years of paying income tax and working for local sport, the two combined in my opinion entitles me to, as an outsider, an opinion.
I WAS livid when I saw the result of the vote to allow an average of 300 migrants in for the next 30 years. There is now a prevalent thought that we fix things for today without thinking that future generations will therefore suffer, but I was disgusted that 22 deputies thought that such a vote would not have adverse effects on those generations to follow and that any problems we have today would be multiplied (and perhaps made impossible) for those in years to come.
While enjoying a peaceful, sunny early morning with the Guernsey Press and a cup of tea, I read the awful news of sour fig clearance from Albecq on Cobo Bay recently.
IN 2006 a distinguished scientist, Peter Langdon Ward BA, MA, PhD, then aged 63 with an illustrious career in geophysics behind him, so with nothing to lose, investigated data from a Greenland ice sheet project which showed that, since the last ice age, the layers of ice containing the greatest amounts of volcanic sulphate also contained oxygen isotope evidence for the greatest amounts of warming.
ON YOUR front page of 9 April [Electricity strategy is ‘key to decarbonisation’] you quote Deputy Lindsay de Sausmarez as implying that we need to become reliant on wind and water turbines and solar panels because we will not be able to buy fossil fuels. I’m not sure how true this is, but in any case Deputy de Sausmarez no doubt really wants this technology in the cause of zero carbon because she’s worried about global warming.
THE request, as reported on your front page of 14 February, by P&R to ask departments what they would cut to fill the future funding gap, is a good one, at least to the extent that somebody is talking about cost savings rather than just about tax rises – but simply asking departments to contribute pro-rata to savings is not the right approach.
