The Interview | Officers fear ‘trial by social media’

Bailiwick Podcasts — Mon, 02 Feb 2026 11:30:13 +0000

Those who take on the most difficult jobs often face the most scrutiny, usually because those jobs are for the public service. Teachers, nurses, police officers. If the community pays your wages, you can expect to get grief, and with the advent of social media, it has only become easier to criticise.

It has also become easier to identify, and scrutinise, those instances where power has been used inappropriately.

In this climate, it has become harder and harder to pick out the actual problems. Post anything about the police online in recent weeks and the comment section becomes awash with vitriol directed at law enforcement. Is this tidal wave of criticism reflective of a service crippled with corruption or is it the amplification of a handful of issues that are in fact being dealt with? Is it somewhere in the middle?

That’s the problem. If you take social media at face value, it’s hard to know. Upholding the law is essential to a community, and when that trust is eroded, everything looks suspicious.

Police officers are granted powers the general public don’t have. The power to arrest, the power to remove liberty. It's only right that the magnifying glass is held closer over them, but by who? And to what extent?

Express spoke to Guernsey's Head of Law Enforcment, Ruari Hardy, to better understand the criticism the force is currently facing, whether it’s warranted, and what is being done to build public support in one of our most important institutions.

Bailiwick Podcasts — Mon, 15 Dec 2025 10:16:48 +0000

Three reports have been published today arguing the case for using solar, tidal, and wind energy to raise revenue for Guernsey by suggesting ways the island "can exploit their use".

The research has found that utilising wind energy is the best way for Guernsey to go, with Deputy Carl Meerveld keen to lead a group of politicians furthering this work.

He says it won't cost us anything, and will generate millions of pounds in income, by offering third parties the opportunity to explore the viability of using the seabeds for wind energy production.

Here he explains what's been done so far, and what could happen next.

The Interview | 10 years of building bridges between Poland and Jersey

Bailiwick Podcasts — Wed, 10 Dec 2025 17:16:05 +0000

A decade ago, many Polish nationals were seeking help settling in Jersey... Now, with the pressures of Brexit, the pandemic, and the rising price of living locally, many are returning home, with implications for Jersey's workforce.

There's also the matter of war in Ukraine - on Poland's doorstep - and the many refugees that need help as a result.

Needless to say, a lot has changed since Magda Chmielewska became Jersey's Honorary Polish Consul in 2012 - but her enthusiasm for the role and determination to bring Jersey and Poland closer together has never wavered.

Reflecting on her 10 years' service, she chats cost of living pressures, prejudice, and working together to solve local - and global - crises with Bailiwick Express Deputy Editor, Fiona Potigny...

The Interview | The Uncertain Cannabis Future

Bailiwick Podcasts — Wed, 10 Dec 2025 17:02:37 +0000

It was once claimed that the medicinal cannabis industry would be a massive economic enabler for Guernsey, that it would revitalise the growing industry and see the Bailiwick lead the way in cannabis regulation.

That hasn't happened yet, and as mainland Europe starts to relax its laws surrounding recreational cannabis, it could never happen. The issues surrounding regulation are complicated. Some argue that it should be fully legalised, regulated and taxed. Some adamantly stand by it's classification as an illicit substance that should never be used recreationally.

Who is right? To get a better understanding of the situation Express spoke to Gary Tucker from the House of Green. He's seen the evolution of the cannabis market first hand in the United States, developing from a black market commodity to the multi-billion pound industry it is now.

The Interview | The future of farming

Bailiwick Podcasts — Wed, 10 Dec 2025 16:57:53 +0000

The quality of food is only as good as the soil it grows in, and for decades the Earth's black gold has been degenerated through intensive farming practices.

Everything from petroleum-based fertilisers, mono-cropping, and the fuel required to operate farm machinery has served to harm our environment and produce sub-optimal food. But Jock Pettitt, a self-proclaimed soil farmer, believes the mainstream methods of farming are not inevitable, promoting instead small-scale, widespread, and community centred organic farming. He believes that this can positively affect the environment in which we grow, and even provide greater flavour and nutrition from the produce.

Express sat down with Mr Pettit to learn all about regenerative farming, the issues facing Guernsey's growing industry, and what makes soil great...

Bailiwick Podcasts — Wed, 10 Dec 2025 16:48:56 +0000

Politics is about policy and decision making but is driven by characters.

Deputy Carl Meerveld is undoubtedly a character of Guernsey politics: outspoken, controversial and combative - a divider of opinion - to some, in touch with the public like few of his colleagues; to others, an insufferable showman.

In this States' term, he is also at the centre of many of the biggest debates inside government. We took the opportunity to sit down with Deputy Meerveld for an in-depth conversation about his life in politics.

Bailiwick Podcasts — Wed, 10 Dec 2025 16:47:29 +0000

The Policy and Resources committee has begun a public campaign, explaining its approach to broadening Guernsey's tax base. A necessary action, it says, to tackle a looming £85 million deficit: most notably this includes a push once again for a Goods and Services Tax (GST).

The idea has been controversial both publicly and within the States. One Deputy who has been consistently critical of P&R's approach to taxation reform is Deputy Chatles Parkinson, who is a qualified accountant and has written extensively on taxation.

He spoke to Express about his concerns and the alternative approach which he says could save the island from GST...

The Interview | Inside No. 9 - Jersey's links to the slave trade

Bailiwick Podcasts — Wed, 10 Dec 2025 13:49:25 +0000

This week, we dip into the archives for the International Day for the Remembrance of the Slave Trade and its Abolition

A new Heritage report on the legacies of slavery in Jersey, released to coincide with Black History Month, has shown a number of people and places throughout Jersey's history have been linked to the transatlantic slave trade. One of the conclusions the report reaches is that No. 9 Pier Road, the Victorian House which forms part of the Jersey Museum, was built on proceeds accumulated from the trade.

Following one of the report's recommendations, Jade Ecobichon-Gray, a member of the Jersey Heritage Diversity Group and founder of Mindset Matters Social Wellness Consultancy, will be guest curating an exhibition on Jersey's links to the slave trade, opening at No. 9 Pier Road in August 2022.

She joins Express to talk about what the new report's findings mean for the island, and how Jersey can begin to include previously excluded voices in its heritage going forward.
