"Having performed Scouse, Geordie and Brummy phrases for the crowd, a heckler at the back of the room then shouted: 'Jersey'.
"Carr immediately replied: 'You haven't got an accent, you tax-dodging scum.'
"The response was raucous applause and laughter from the audience."

The Guardian: "Jersey's 'secrecy culture' led to my suspension, says former police chief"
"Before moving to Jersey to take charge of the island's police in 2000, Graham Power had served in the senior ranks of four other forces, in a career spanning more than 30 years. A recipient of the Queen's Medal for distinguished service, he had been vetted by UK authorities to 'top secret' level, and was so well regarded that he had also been appointed an assessor for the body that selects chief officers for UK constabularies.
"But after eight successful years on Jersey, Power found himself suddenly suspended, in what one local politician supporter believes was a:
"coup d'etat, engineered by a small group of powerful people who denied him natural justice".
"The initial suspension, which related to Power's management and supervision of a child abuse inquiry centred around Haut de la Garenne, a children's home on the island, continues to be a hugely controversial topic in Jersey. It's an episode which Jersey's critics see as a prime example of the way the island's elite treats those who dare to challenge their authority."
