So glad he made it into gov. to fuck up our transport system. Maybe he should have carried on working out the costs of producing shower doors and low line kitchens. Arrogant git.

NoTail Posted July 2, 2020 Share Posted July 2, 2020 There are a lot of words in that letter. Unfortunately they don't seem to have any substance. Can these people highlight actual discrimination against the black community on the Island? When they do I will enthusiastically support them in opposing that discrimination. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quilp Posted July 2, 2020 Share Posted July 2, 2020 Seems worded in such a way that suggests there is some sort of conspiracy behind the decision reached by the comms commision and MR. She also opines that there has been a rise in racism since the broadcast and subsequent furore. Why would she want to remain anonymous? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The open letter from them is featured in the link. A Mrs Hugh Jass, from Foxdale, has written in to complain about Manx Radio playing "Fat Bottomed Girls",Also followers of some 1400 year old religion,are to protest about funky tunes being played by the "Crusaders". The militant "Lentil Lovers Vegan Alliance Action Group" are offended by the song "blowing in the wind" , and because of Manx Radios refusal to play their rebel song from the film " High Noon"...."Do not mincedsteak me oh my darling". 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People just don't get it. This is indicative of the whole BLM movement and what it stands for. Like these people on the Isle of Man will not be content in this matter until Stu Peters head is paraded on a stake (the metaphor may be ill-advised but it is appropriate) the BLM movement in general will not be content until it has what it believes is some sort of 'equality' and then a whole lot more. Rub the white noses in it and make them feel it. There. The ratchet of the BLM has begun big time. Edited July 2, 2020 by Barlow 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gladys Posted July 2, 2020 Share Posted July 2, 2020 The tide is turning with performers and presenters questioning having to wear a BLM badge, or take the knee. I hope MR politely tells this correspondent to do one. Enough already. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So all they can do about it is make out that the Communications Commission have got it wrong. However it's very obvious to anyone with any nous that the Communications Commission have got it very right. So imho PoC IOM are now pissing up a rope. If they had any genuine demonstrable evidence of racism on the island they would get a lot of backing, including myself. But as yet they obviously haven't.... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plenty of scientists are religious. They delve deep into the wonder and complexity of it all and decide that it can't possibly all have happened by accident.

As with many pressure groups they want to set the ground for debate. The accepted definition of racism has to be their definition despite them having no divine right to be the arbiter. Therefore, if anyone takes issue with the doctrine, as Stu Peters did in questioning the concept of "white privilege", it brings howls of indignation and expressions of disgust. I note in the statement that they also perpetuate the fiction that the caller's experiences were laughed at. Stu only laughed because he was unable to get a word in. 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He studied Economics. Anyone who knows anything about the sort of economics that gets taught academically nowadays realises it's a bit like Theology, but with less intellectual rigour and not as well rooted in reality or good at looking for actual evidence. And certainly less troubled by doubt. A fine training for DoI. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty hard to be the first one to invite the shitstorm onto yourself by saying bollox to this nonsense. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
