Kopek Posted June 19, 2022 Share Posted June 19, 2022 Yeah, how many complimentary Grandstand tickets were given to DoI road workers??? A thank you for all their work!!! I bet no of them got one? Hasn't the VIP thing just been answered? A few MHKs and none of the CS? I think JM asks some relevant Q's, hope he follows thru or makes use of the info but at least he makes an effort. Sometimes he does seem to be giving his minister the chance to grandstand but, I guess, that's Dept work? Anyway, He's great, stop knocking him! As for that Stu P. I bet he can't even explain the Kate Bush phenomenon? He does look smart in a suit though! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member for Arbory, Castletown and Malew (Mr Moorhouse) to ask the Chief Minister – What consultation took place with key stakeholders and others ahead of the announcement of changes to the 2023 TT timetable. There's also an interesting question from a Mr Peters: 5. The Hon. Member for Middle (Mr Peters) to ask the Minister for Enterprise – How many complimentary admissions to the hospitality venue at the grandstand were offered during the 2022 TT to a) Members of the House of Keys; b) Members of the Legislative Council; c) civil servants; and d) others. It's almost like he's been reading Manx Forums. I have never seen Stu at the TT or MGP I think he is a 4 wheel petrol head , the answer should be simple any invitations for corporate hospitality or business lunches are required to be entered in the declaration of members interests register , and the approximate cost , in fairness theres not as many freeloader MHK's these days than there were a few years ago and when some required to be literally taken home , Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know of at least three civil servants who were there on one of the days, they were supping pints with their credentials on display Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes Peter Murcott the gay basher general whose views on anything are completely irrelevant. Why has he put his head above the pavement again? Did he think it’s been a good 10 years and people wouldn’t remember his grossly offensive views anymore?

Declan Posted June 19, 2022 Share Posted June 19, 2022 (edited) 4 hours ago, MrGarrison said: Stupid person is an understatement. How did he manage to hide for a whole 5 years of his first term the fact that he’s clearly an absolute spanner? Did they feel sorry for him and fought hard to have it not immediately uncovered that he’s the south’s answer to Joey Deacon? Bit harsh. The Joey Deacon story (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joey_Deacon) is a triumph of the human will to communicate. He wrote his autobiography by telling it to his mate, Ernie, who was the only person who could understand him, who dictated it to their pal Michael who wrote it out longhanded then their other friend Tom typed it up despite not being able to read or write. Jason doesn't have anything like that level of support. Edited June 19, 2022 by Declan Could have done with some help meself. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roger Mexico Posted June 21, 2022 Share Posted June 21, 2022 The Moorhouse Questionator seems to have hit another target with this latest TT question. Callister may believe that it has been consulted on but Cannan begs to differ: Consultation on TT schedule changes to open next month Tuesday, June 21st, 2022 10:47am Four-week period for fans to submit feedback on proposals A four-week public consultation will get underway next month on proposed changes to next year's TT schedule. The plans include moving the Superbike race from Saturday to Sunday, while the Senior Race would be pushed back from Friday to Saturday. The schedule still has to be formally ratified, while Chief Minister Alfred Cannan confirmed in Tynwald this morning that further feedback will be sought from the public before the race programme is finalised. (I've missed off the clip as Manx Radio seem to have taken the wrong bit) Of course it's ridiculous to only be consulting on such changes now and unfair to public, fans and competitors. The whole thing shows the incompetence and arrogance of DfE. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enterprise did briefly consult ahead of coming up with the new proposed schedule - a consultation was open for a short period in June 2021, asking for views on changes for 2023 and beyond. They are now due to consult again, on the proposed schedule now that they have finalised it. So, Enterprise did consult on the subject. Whether many people were aware of the earlier consultation is another matter… Edited June 21, 2022 by StrangeBrew Incorrect info re 2020 consultation, which was just about road closures Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whether many people were aware of the earlier consultation is another matter… But when the so called consultation took place all of the local authority and associated meetings were suspended due to covid restrictions , so the process was lost in the mist of time , in fact the road closing orders and responsibility under the road races act lies with the DOI , there are having trouble finding out what day of the week it is , and they don't do consultation anyway ! its another mess and thats why Alf has stated in Tynwald today there will be another 4 week consultation process , but he quoted the request to run the races over 3 weekends had come from TT fans , well thats a new one on me , and wait until the locals see the schedule of proposed road closures and the possible demise of the post TT races at Castletown theres only so many passengers the ferries can carry and everyone will be scrambling to get home for the final weekend 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kopek Posted June 21, 2022 Share Posted June 21, 2022 I wonder what Alf would think of this years situation if he were not responsible for the Islands financial position? One can hear the change of tone in his voice when switches from the ''unfortunate tragedies'' to the ''economic benefits''. It's pre-programmed, isn't it!

Moorhouse has show Rob C nitwit to be incompetent letting his division announce TT schedule before consulting public and stakeholder. Idiot must think his civil servant can do what they like. He will not come out of this unscathed, Moorhouse played a curve ball. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even more so it would be nice to see the results of the survey done among TT fans/attendees that Cannan made so much of as justifying the changes. Given that he claimed they wanted both to stay longer and to have short breaks, it sounds a bit confused. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
