THERE was a strange and disturbing story on the front page of the Guernsey Press recently about a senior advocate overhearing a policeman addressing a black adult as ‘boy’.

TWO women could hold information that is key to an investigation into alleged racist abuse by three police officers.

AN APPALLED advocate has accused three police officers of racially abusing a black man by calling him ‘boy’.

A DECISION by the BBC to drop Carol Thatcher from The One Show after she used the term golliwog has been welcomed by the man who tried to sack Bernard Flouquet for using the same word.

YESTERDAY’S 24-21 vote of confidence in deputy chief minister Bernard Flouquet could scarcely have been more slender and it certainly will not satisfy his many critics, who will remain convinced that the formal States reprimand he received was insufficient punishment for a racist joke that not even he could explain why he told.

BERNARD Flouquet today remains as Guernsey’s deputy chief minister after a deeply divisive vote in the States.

A FORMER Muratti footballer has been suspended for racially abusing an opposing player.

THE deputy chief minister publicly apologised yesterday for the third time for the racist joke he told in late November.

BERNARD Flouquet failed to show the judgement, integrity and conduct expected of a deputy chief minister, according to a motion of no confidence.
