With long waits in Jersey for anything to do with health you’re probably going to skip this . But this new study may help us start to diagnose autism quicker in children. ……🧐🤨but then of course more children would identify as requiring more support in school and more support in financial support from social security potentially costing millions. The extra staff required with increasing numbers of children with autism in Jersey is already having a huge impact but until we address this some children will be destined to forgo education as the system can’t keep up. With teachers asking for help with children in schools being told now for example that there is a ten month wait for a visit from a States occupational therapist and parents waiting up to two years for an autism diagnosis and adhd diagnosis for adults equally as long. All unless you have money to go privately of course in some cases to see the same people who we largely employ to tell us they're too busy. So let’s hope this new p**p 💩 diagnosis can help get us out of the mess we are in.

One of the quotes of the year came when a journalist pointed out Israel is still insisting it has the most moral army in the world, and Chris Sidoti, a member of the UN Commission of Inquiry, replied: “Israel is one of the most criminal [armies] in the world.”

OPSS adds two additional brands to gas hob safety list
A further two brands, Swan and Comfee, have been added to the list of gas hobs that may require corrective action, following an investigation by OPSS. Can cause fires burns and explosions ! A further two brands, Swan and Comfee, have been added to the list of gas hobs that may require corrective action.

Eleven UK gas hob manufacturers have now committed to undertake a corrective action programme to make certain hobs safe, as a result of an investigation by the Office for Product Safety and Standards (OPSS).

The companies involved are Apelson Appliances UK Ltd, Buy It Direct Ltd, Glen Dimplex Home Appliances, Kingfisher International Products Ltd, Lancaster Holdings Ltd, Maurice Lay Distributors Ltd, Midea UK Ltd, Product Care Trading Ltd, Shop Direct Home Shopping Ltd, Stax Trade Centres Ltd and The Wright Buy Ltd.

This followed a number of incidents, including an explosion at a caravan park in April 2023, where a person suffered serious burns. The investigation by OPSS identified that faulty elbow joints used to connect certain models to the gas supply could give rise to a serious risk of poisoning, burns or gas explosion and/or fire.

The companies will visit every home containing affected hobs and make them safe. Information about the brands and models are available via the companies’ websites.

OPSS is urging all affected members of the public, including those unsure whether they are impacted or not, to check the model links and contact the manufacturer:

Read the Important Safety Message – Gas Hob Elbow Joints Corrective Action Programme.

OPSS issued Suspension Notices in July to stop further supplies of the affected models of gas hobs and updated its safety advice in August because the nature and scale of the risks involved is highest for those in mobile premises using LPG.

While all affected consumers should check the model links, owners and consumers in caravans, leisure homes and motorhomes should do this as a matter of urgency. If they are using an affected appliance with Liquified Petroleum Gas (LPG), they should disconnect it from the LPG cylinder immediately.

Owners and consumers in domestic premises should continue to be vigilant. If they smell gas or are concerned that their product poses a risk, they should contact the National Gas Emergency Helpline for their area (0800 111 999 in England, Wales and Scotland, and 0800 002 001 in Northern Ireland) or a Gas Safe registered installer.

OPSS Chief Executive Graham Russell said:

Protecting people from unsafe products is always a top priority for government. The manufacturers have agreed to undertake this corrective action programme following the OPSS investigation; now we will monitor their actions to ensure they make swift progress in making these gas hobs safe for householders and holidaymakers across the UK.

A further two brands, Swan and Comfee, have been added to the list of gas hobs that may require corrective action, following an investigation by OPSS.

Four Hostages freed from capture but at what cost ?
The authorities in Gaza announced that 274 people, including 64 children and 57 women,
had been killed, with more than 400 injuries, and that 89 inhabited homes or residential buildings
had been bombed during the raid.

Witnesses describe the carnage of the Nuseirat massacre, Israel’s hostage rescue operation in Gaza that killed hundreds of Palestinians.

01/06/2024

What Jersey said to the UK government about a ceasefire in Gaza shows it it acknowledges dialogue before the debate and that the amendments to the debate of Deputy Montfort Tadier were arguably targeted more to the liking of the UK Government. This shows the amendments brought by Deputy Gorst were arguably more aimed at appealing to the UK. When a decision is reached, on whether the International Court of Justice believes Genocide has taken place or not, how will this reflect on Jerseys position and its leadership on what has been the wholesale slaughter of innocent Palestinians in retaliation and so called defence of a terrorist attack by Hamas. A war where human shields are justified as targets because some terrorists may be killed Pray you are never a human shield in an Israeli war!

Is this a solution to cleaning up Our drinking water which is contaminated with PFOS and PFAS
These chemicals which have entered our water system via Fire fighting foam run off from the Airport are linked to a variety of ill health syndromes such as ME / CFS and rare and non rare cancers. The States settled out of court with the manufacturers 3M many years ago, knowing they were partially if not solely culpable. Now they are slow marching towards the inevitable clean up, its a local parralel to how the UK avoided telling the truth and admitting responsibility with the blood contamination we have just witnessed on all media. The Government should come clean and acknowledge it’s responsible for our ill health and likely causes of death and harm from this envirenvironmental disaster. Its not only in our water its in our crops.
Many people now have had their blood independently tested off island and these chemicals have been
Found in their blood. They are known as forever chemicals because they never break down and should
Not be found in blood

Universities are facing bankruptcy in the UK unless fees are raised in the next two years
Will Jersey be ready for any increases it might appreciate and be ready to help local residents study in the UK if they are eligible for grants
Will increases push those not eligible off the UK universities as a consequence?
Much to consider now

We did it ! 🙂 Thank you for helping get the petition for a ceasefire to the point where it will receive a response by States Ministers. It is now up to the States to decide whether they wish to say anything that might help. Now at least doing anything at all is unlikely, as they have in the large majority chosen to hide behind their benches even a communication to the UK Ministers of their hand wringing has been sidelined and at last reporting the UK department and Minister for the Channel Islands had not the courtesy or inclination to respond. Indeed, with David Cameron, saying now is not, the time to suspend arms sales to Israel as it’s so called defence forces bomb Rafa which has 1.5 million people crammed into a shoebox with 600,000 children without food , water , electricity or any safe place to go makes it a streaming genocide. It beggars belief how he thought imposing an embargo years ago when he was Prime Minister for much less than Genocide makes him at all in the least bit credible. He will share his places in history on the bench with Tony Blair. The current trajectory of the UK and the USA is online with Israel’s in complicity to genocide and history will have its say. Thank you to the 1002 people in Jersey who are on Facebook that saw the petition and had the courage to sign it. You can look your future selves in the mirror and know you stood against the mass slaughter of innocent people. As with Oct the 7 th and the hostages on both sides the killing and detention of innocent people is an affront to humanity a callous evil that has no place in a world where there is a future for man. Peace and Light! ❤️

3 signatures needed for a response. Do you care ? 997 people evidently believe it makes a difference so far. Deadline is midnight

The Petition for a ceasefire in Gaza has only 7 more signatures needed before the States Ministers are required to reply. It is perhaps all that can be achieved with such a low response by islanders in Jersey on Facebook that have seen the advertising. The petitioner has spent his final amount of money today in a bid to cross the line ….please help Thank you
