Former Deputy to stand againBy Ben Quérée

FORMER St John Deputy Phil Rondel (pictured) is making a political comeback.

The former plumber has announced that he will stand for Deputy in St John — the seat he held from 1994 to 2005. His announcement follows the news that the current Deputy, Assistant Home Affairs Minister Andrew Lewis, will not be standing for re-election.

Mr Rondel (62) stepped down three years ago for family reasons, but says that he is delighted to be able to put his name forward again and that he has the full support of his family behind him.

‘Having had many parishioners and indeed Islanders asking me to allow my name to go forward in recent months for both Senator and Deputy, I have great pleasure in confirming that I shall be standing once again for Deputy of St John,’ he said.

‘I believe that with my experience and the fact that I have both the time and energy to commit to the position I still have a lot to offer the parish.’

Fritz:
And his son-in-law and ,"chums ", could do with a bit of help.

The Rev Peter Sarkey:
Wasn't it Phil Rondel who when inspecting the balconies at the waterfront flats ( why? as you say he's a plumber) said that the design was bad as people could look upwards and see up young ladies skirts (JEP reported fact). This begged several questions:- what political issue was on his mind at the time? Is he an ageist wishing to exclude old ladies? The point I am trying tomake is that we must have politicians who have the capability of engaging their brains to the cause of the Public good before opening their mouths and uttering things.
