Are we supposed to feel proud that our Chief Minister was entertained by “power brokers” in the country which executes more prisoners than all the other countries in the world put together? Should we be pleased to see our CM presenting gifts to participants in a corrupt regime where torture of prisoners is an everyday occurance?
Do the people of Guernsey really want to do business with such people? Have we really sunk so low?
