I do hope not, how would you pad out a show espousing black issues night after night ad-infinitum? 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pongo Posted June 17, 2020 Share Posted June 17, 2020 Perhaps different people could host it on different nights. Vader and TJ for example. 1 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gettafa Posted June 17, 2020 Share Posted June 17, 2020 (edited) That was sort of tried. When Stu did the late show a few years back he brought on guests, including an MF'er. It was tried during the day time Talking Heads too, which was ok, but it just seemed to reinforce the fact that you need a professional presenter. ie not just anyone can roll up and gab away for a couple of hours in between records.

It's not retrospective, so they might be able to argue that he would have been retired by now, or that as a pensioner it was no longer his basic source of income and so he didn't count as an employee. I'm just pointing it out as another source of complication. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hissingsid Posted June 17, 2020 Share Posted June 17, 2020 It was classic comedy in Tynwald today, a snippet was broadcasted in Mannin Line, Rob seconded Chris Thomas’s motion regarding Manx Gas and then proceeded to say that the public should not give any credit to failing Thomas and should certainly not think he was Robin Hood as he had had 14 months to sort this out and done nothing, Chris Thomas then thanked him for seconding him although in a most unusual way, there was an outburst of loud laughter then Harmer made an amendment and the whole thing got kicked in the long grass. Chris and Rob have obviously had a handbags at dawn moment. Why does Manx Radio refer to Thomas as the sacked minister every time he features now, he is a backbencher, nothing more, nothing less, although he does seem intent on stealing Beecrofts crown for attention seeking.

I'm just pointing it out as another source of complication. I didn't say it was retrospective; if they try to argue on age NOW, my understanding is it would contravene the Equality Act. As for "he would have been retired now", if they argue that it implies he is an employee, as retirement age was usually a term of your employment contract. In any case, due to equality, I am not sure a retirement age is enforceable. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think it is a group founded to support Stu, but Toby Young's Super Special Freedom Of Speech Club. Who've written to commission.

Rob Callister call him "Fagin Thomas", I think Rob doesn't understand or appreciates the slur that he has made about Chris Thomas. I also can't believe that the President let Mr Callister away with this. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
