Ex-Senator Syvret booed during personal attacks
FORMER Senator Stuart Syvret last night launched a vicious attack on fellow election candidate Sir Philip Bailhache, accusing him of a catalogue of ‘crimes’ and cover-ups dating back more than ten years.
The accusations made at the Senatorial hustings in Trinity included claims that the former Bailiff was involved in cover-ups, had coerced politicians, had abused his power and acted unlawfully to help out friends.
Accusations were also levelled at Sir Philip’s brother Deputy Bailiff William Bailhache, thee Bailiff, Michael Birt, and Attorney General Tim Le Cocq, who was also present at the meeting.
He then told the audience that all of the claims would be proven in London courts in time.
The outburst was met first with groans from the 200-strong audience who expressed their disappointment at seeing Mr Syvret had ditched his controlled persona from earlier hustings and adopted a far more confrontational one.
