Can you imagine the UK culture minister at the Champions League Final posting a selfie with Michael Owen while the fans are getting teargassed outside. Not sure. It was largely bullshit he spoke stood next to Steve Hislop’s statue at Port Jack. I suppose at least Hislop didn’t die here so it was deemed an appropriate setting.

Declan Posted June 7, 2022 Share Posted June 7, 2022 Oh I forgot that. It's so beyond the realm of credulity that she's a cabinet minister. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slinkydevil Posted June 7, 2022 Share Posted June 7, 2022 Fairly useless, generally a fence-sitter, out of his depth and has no initiative. I'm going for Rob to be Chief Minister within 10 years. 1 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lost Login Posted June 7, 2022 Share Posted June 7, 2022 (edited) The BBC report is about 17 minutes in here https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/m00184sc/north-west-tonight-evening-news-07062022 And how does Rob Callister start? "It has been a brilliant first week. We are just about to go into the second week of racing. So yeah long may it continue for the rest of the week". I appreciate that the full interview will be edited but as others have said it does seem particularly crass and tone deaf to go on TV and describe a week where 3 competitors have died as a brilliant week and to hope it continues.

Two-lane Posted June 7, 2022 Share Posted June 7, 2022 This is a Rob Collister thread, but note also the comments of Allinson. This link is dated Monday 6 June, but may have been recorded earlier. Allinson thinks the TT should "grow" and would "put us on the map". He clearly believes money is important, but makes no comment about the fatalities - as opposed to another medical person who posts here. https://www.manxradio.com/news/isle-of-man-news/allinson-we-need-to-grow-the-tt/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newsdesk Posted June 7, 2022 Share Posted June 7, 2022 (edited) 36 minutes ago, Bandits said: He is clearly totally out of his depth. It’s more than that. This was posted at 5:21 on the 4th of June. Just 2 hours after a sidecar passenger died in the most horrendous circumstances going less than a mile away from the person who is supposed to be the public face of motorsport for IOM government. In the mix too is Allinson and Hooper. It makes you wonder what they discussed with Rawlings as someone died in a garden just down the road. Genuine privilege to meet Richard Rawlings this afternoon at the Isle of Man TT, owner of “Gas Monkey Garage” and an all round American Legend… Edited June 7, 2022 by Newsdesk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gizo Posted June 7, 2022 Share Posted June 7, 2022 Who the actual fuck is this Richard Rawlings? seems like a cunt to me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
