At a time when the UK media were publishing articles saying Jersey (i.e all of us)is a "cradle of rampnat paedophelia" (The Times!) when no one had yet been charged, let alone convicted, and the police investigation was and is ongoing, and criminal trials might and still may be prejudiced by irresponsible and speculative reporting, it was entirely right for the Bailiff to speak out as he did. He made it absolutely clear that he condemned child abuse and whilst the words he used to critise the international media might have been improved, his meaning was 100% clear. I find the reaction of some people to his speech frankly bizarre - a silly distraction to the real business of bringing offenders to justice.

Sir Phillip is truely out of touch, He also needs to understand that our children should all be educationally / financially helped regardless of what carer that choose and not only if they choose Law or finance. There should be a place for all children to develop and progress accordingly, not just for the elite few. Jersey's children are Jersey's future , so open your eyes and see the bigger picture.

I am disgusted with the Liberation speech from the Baliff. He played down the abused and insulted the Liberators.Go NOW!

Since the crown has responsibility for appointing the bailiff, is it not time the Crown actually practised what they preach and sack this man along with the majority of senators in the States of Jersey for their willful maladminastration, their failure in "Duty of Care" and the lack of support to the victims of rape, abuse including sexual, physical, mental suffered by over 100 people over decades.

The attitude, lack of support given to Lenny Harper in his mammoth task in bringing people to justice for the offences committed against persons.

I and many others who I have spoken with over last day or so,are becoming very concerned about the Bailiff hijacking the liberation day celebrations to give what amounted to a political broadcast .His involvement in some of the issues with regard to recent child abuse scandals is also under question.Who is he accountable to?

Well, Sir Phillip Bailhache managed to upset a good number of Jersey people on the 9th of May 2008, with his rather hideous Liberation Day speech.I for one would like to see him removed from office.

Having listened to Radio 4 this evening I really feel that it is time this man stood down, the people of Jersey deserve better.

I think Sir Phillip Bailhache is an excellent man and should continue with making Jersey a better and safer place to be. Also, about his idea on the college of law is brilliant. Tara xxxx

It has been 5years and one month since the BLHIM2000 family reunion was held at Eton Wick. Sir. Bailhache was keynote speaker at this occasion and as most of the attendee's were French his ability to converse fluently, and eloquently in both English and French was most appreciated by the two Bailhache's from the United States in attendance. We hope to tour Jersey in the not too distant future. Best of luck to the establishment of a College of Law, presumably also in Jersey. Charles A. Bailhache
