The Chief Minister's Prodigal Child

What's this? Senator Walker accused of ignoring his eldest child, Tourism whilst opening his arms to give the baby of the family, The Finance Industry, a nice big cuddle? "But I give Tourism more pocket money than Finance!", Daddy Frank cries. "And I need both children to survive and do well for the sake of all our other relatives".

The problem is that the older Tourism child went to State School, got a few GCSE's and as a result does not earn very much. Whereas, little (well, quite big for his age!) Finance was clever enough to go to Grammar School, got a degree at Oxford and now earns huge sums. Daddy Frank finds it easier to relate to the better-educated Finance child - whereas he regards his older child as a bit of a pain in the a**e and wishes she (for yes she is a girl) would go back to school and re-educate herself in the winning ways of the Finance Industry.

What The CM needs to remember is that once upon a time, his eldest child was the one earning all the money, while Finance was still a baby. What's more little Finance may get fed up with Jersey one day and decide to travel the world. Then good old, reliable Tourism (which will never go anywhere else) will be the main provider again. Let's hope she's not so old that she's died.....
