Been a long day and I’m knackered. Everything is over my head tonight

The pig broke free at the photo shoot and landed in a herd of cows in Kent. The designer of the idea (Aubrey Turner) was actually arrested on the day, as the pig flew into Heathrow approach airspace and they had to shut the airport.

Hey you, So, “no matter how they tried, they could not break free” the pig still did ?

Maybe one of the best reasons of getting rid of commercials on Manx Radio is today’s “VOX news” for Shoprite, one of the biggest spenders on the station, https://147-5433bc3297b05.radiocms.com/news/isle-of-man-news/shoppers-react-to-sainsburys-shoprite-deal/

Its not really news and not really balanced, because Shoprite are very proactive on taking action against companies they spend lots of money with. Tail wagging dog?

I think your antagonism towards the station can often be unfair but this is certainly valid. I suppose it is actually news. It would be carried by other media. However, you certainly could not imagine the vox clip giving airtime to someone such as SoS announcing they haven't been near the place since 1986.

Interesting to see the Manx Radio story on next weeks Tynwald questions.

https://147-5433bc3297b05.radiocms.com/news/isle-of-man-news/peel-marina-to-chronic-fatigue-tynwald-questions-at-a-glance/

a fair amount of detail...yet they fail to mention question 12

The Hon. Member for Douglas East (Mrs Barber) to ask the Minister for Policy and Reform –
How many Freedom of Information requests have been made to Manx Radio; how many have been answered (a) partially (b) fully and (c) rejected; and where they are published?
 
Surely this is worth a mention in the article and makes the newsroom look independent from any perceived management interference.
