It's surprising that he hasn't been made a Minister before now, really.

Zorg Posted June 1, 2020 Share Posted June 1, 2020 It's a very depressing thing to think about but I'm sure that after some mediocre stints as a minister of a few departments, Rob will probably end up as Chief Minister eventually Not because he should be or would be a good one, but because he's such a cretinous idiot who can be controlled via his ego that the Cabinet Office and other civil servants will see to it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The irony of that statement is hilarious, but even if it wasn't, it's still a ridiculous thing to be writing about a fellow MHK in your blog. It strikes me as a very childish attempt to air your own grievances about someone whilst they're already down. I would imagine it means that Rob's been put in his place by Chris Thomas at some point (probably multiple times tbf) and he's been harbouring resentment about it ever since. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Rob just doesn't like to be told he is wrong, So if Chris Thomas has corrected him with facts (ie Bill Shimmins isn't deceased) He will have taken a huff, bit like he did on here. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His only contribution politically is to bleat in Tynwald that he might be out of pocket and not get his money back on stamp costs for his next electioneering endeavour.. His priorities are firmly self, self, self. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the way he effectively seems to endorse sharp practice by a lot of hotels in not refunding TT visitors is very crass. It actually sounds like Government is endorsing the fact that people have been short changed. Edited June 13, 2020 by Mr Newbie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No I think this is a different one, This ones not about TT visitors, it is about him moving from Home Affairs to DFEA. It is how he has decided to move to DFEA. Paul Moulton must be running his election campaign. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheTeapot Posted June 13, 2020 Share Posted June 13, 2020 (edited) There's no justification for not giving refunds. None. Especially as there is apparently a government scheme paying £25 per room per night for bookings*, which while not the money the hoteliers were expecting from their guests is still pretty decent for not doing any work. I'm annoyed that they're getting away with it, it is a bad look for the whole island. *That's what someone on here said, I don't actually know if it is true.
