Here in Jersey....

The latest Trinity in Jersey newsletter says:

Last week Hillary Clinton continued her campaign for nomination as the Democrat candidate for, arguably, the most powerful position in this world - ever. She is seeking to become President of the United States of America. In a speech Hillary explained graphically her only visit to Bosnia - she was in grave danger from sniper fire as the plane descended, had to scurry down the airport apron and the planned welcome party for her husband, Bill Clinton, President of the US had to be abandoned. Within hours a news video of that event was posted on the internet showing what looked like a normal welcome party on the tarmac with Hillary chatting happily with a small girl. Hillary explained that she "misspoke". The prefix "mis" means "bad" or "badly". She had spoken badly..... Unfortunately this was not the first time - for her or her husband.

Here in Jersey, such things would never happen.


I must admit that I was following the argument until that sentence, when I laughed out loud!

I don't know where the writer has been for the past six months, but it is painfully clear that in Jersey such things do happen all the time, and over the last year, more than I can remember for some time.

Or perhaps the writer meant that some politicians here may well deceive the public on numerous occasions, but, alas, unlike Hillary, they are rarely found out?
