@AyrtonHockaday @fierce_grandad @milroyalasdair We broke a long running deadlock in the Assembly and developed the strategy for the best recycling system in the world, doing Guernsey's bit for the environment, something we should all be proud of

Apparently the world's longest shepherd's crook is reaching out from Pennsylvania already, making its way to DC

@politics_gg @BrehautBarry @matt_fallaize That's a funny piece of lip syncing

[Scott Ogier @scott_ogier]

@matt_fallaize Not of the man no. I acknowledge he has done some good for US in some ways (at the cost of the world.). That's what happens when you withdraw and focus inwards. It has been very popular with a lot of Americans. But someone could have done that without being such a dick about it.

Congratulations to President Elect Biden, as many in the world breath a collective sigh of relief. Now the crying, thousand yard stares and rocking in corners can begin.

[Scott Ogier @scott_ogier]

@jondwbuckland He made a good start tonight

If you really think a tax avoiding, lying, cheating, "pussy grabbing" racist is fit to lead a country because the economy is stronger with him then don't look around the world in bewilderment wondering why there are so many problems, you ARE the problem.

@richarddigard @RhianGsy @McsLauren @advocategreen1 @emiliemcswiggan @YvonneBurford @GaryBurgessCI @JEPnews @Lindsay_Gsy @MsTinaBury France and Sweden have many family friendly policies and their repro rates are generally higher than their neighbours although they too are starting to lower a little.

[Scott Ogier @scott_ogier]

@emiliemcswiggan @advocategreen1 @richarddigard @YvonneBurford @GaryBurgessCI @JEPnews @Lindsay_Gsy @MsTinaBury The population policy at the time I placed that successful amendment was mainly focussed at bringing in what would amount to 20,000 new people over the next few decades..... and still is as far as I know. That is what would be required to keep our working population stable.

[Scott Ogier @scott_ogier]

@emiliemcswiggan @advocategreen1 @richarddigard @YvonneBurford @GaryBurgessCI @JEPnews @Lindsay_Gsy @MsTinaBury The objective is still fine, we are suffering, like many other jurisdictions from a catastrophic drop in our replacement rate which in time will require ever more people to be welcomed on to our island or a much higher burden placed on fewer workers.

@recycleforgsy but first, fry it up with onions, add some stock and simmer for 30 minutes with some smoked paprika, puree, season maybe a bit of cream..... nom nom nom

@emiliemcswiggan @advocategreen1 @richarddigard @YvonneBurford @GaryBurgessCI @JEPnews @Lindsay_Gsy @MsTinaBury It would have been interesting to see what Guernsey could have done to help grow more of our own

[Scott Ogier @scott_ogier]

@emiliemcswiggan @advocategreen1 @richarddigard @YvonneBurford @GaryBurgessCI @JEPnews @Lindsay_Gsy @MsTinaBury Well, I don't have a Committee's resources behind me to put together a response on the fly but Sweden and France have a much higher fertility rate and comprehensive social policies and financial incentives which are believed to help keep their rate higher than their neighbours.

[Scott Ogier @scott_ogier]

@matt_fallaize @richarddigard @YvonneBurford @GaryBurgessCI @JEPnews How strange that a Deputy who was on that committee last term had absolutely no recollection of the amendment nor any discussion on the matter. Makes me believe so little consideration was given by the committee it failed even to register as a memory

[Scott Ogier @scott_ogier]

@richarddigard @YvonneBurford @GaryBurgessCI @JEPnews That's an exceedingly worrying chart and might have been avoided or somewhat mitigated if the Committee for Employment and Social Security had followed States Resolutions. A member of that committee from last term had never seen this successful amendment:

[Scott Ogier @scott_ogier]

Successful amendment passed to introduce family friendly policies to help Guernsey's low fertility rate

[Scott Ogier @scott_ogier]

@ThatTimWalker @StuartSyvret @NSoames Yeah, but probably the shift is due to such a shit job being done of Brexit, not a shift because it was inherently a bad idea (which it was)
