Boo Gay'n Posted October 30, 2023 Share Posted October 30, 2023 1 hour ago, 2112 said: I see Rob Callister (according to the NPM (MR)), has been tabling motions for the next Tynpotwald session, asking for a Children’s Commissioner, instead of a Champion. Is he doing this genuinely, or out of pique? No doubt he would if offered the role would jump at the opportunity. The island has many pressing and serious issues to deal with, and whilst children and young people aren’t less important, sadly some of our politicos are jumping on hobby horses. Commissioners are public servants (salary, office, staff - potentially - etc.). The Gob wouldn't be angling for that, unless the good burghers of Onchan decided to tip him out at the next election. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
