the stinking enigma Posted January 1, 2022 Share Posted January 1, 2022 Can we not just purchase a couple of hundred crash helmets? Make a tt theme out of it. I can only presume the ideas department are on holiday. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hissingsid Posted January 2, 2022 Author Share Posted January 2, 2022 It is the sheer arrogance that gets me…the swimmers exit from the pool is not always as smooth as it should be…who wrote that or said that. Children have been hurt …..total dumbing down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hissingsid Posted January 4, 2022 Author Share Posted January 4, 2022 It must be a slow news day Flumegate was on BBC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hissingsid Posted January 7, 2022 Author Share Posted January 7, 2022 So today on the noon news Julie Edge has at last reported that children have been hurt as a result of the dodgy flume. When will politicians learn that people like honesty and a upfront approach. Had she said when these incidents occurred and subsequently the flume was closed…”Unfortunately some children were hurt whilst using one of the flumes at the NSC , we have taken the action of taking the flume out of service and apologise to anyone who suffered harm, we take our responsibilities of health and safety very seriously and assure the public that the flume will be examined and made safe by the contractors involved before it is put back into use “. Or words to this effect , the dumbing down of the incidents have done her Julie Edge no favours as speculation and possibly exaggerated reports have been flying on the net. This government seems to be taking North Korea as a model in all affairs they do not want the unwashed to hear about. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2112 Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 The NPM has just got round to reporting the story in depth, and reports lots of injuries as opposed to one or two injuries. Minister Edge says that at least one of the flumes is open - whooopee that’s a bonus! Has it been properly Health and Safety checked by qualified experts? After all, come TT week, anyone who fucks up has the wrath of the IOMG machine on their backs. When it comes to their own fuck ups, it’s neatly swept under the carpet. Civil Servants and Government bods are above reproach. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are getting trained by North Korea PR experts. If this happened in the UK, lawyers will have a field day, compo claims galore and quite rightly so. These accidents could have quite easily happened to the children and grand children of MF members. Edited January 7, 2022 by 2112 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hissingsid Posted January 7, 2022 Author Share Posted January 7, 2022 Yes 2112 she has admitted to a couple of incidents still trying to slide sideways still maintaining one is still open so that is alright. She is shrugging this off as if it is a minor incident. Three years in March and over 4 million quid and not a word of sympathy or concern for the children who have been hurt. This attitude stinks. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hissingsid Posted January 7, 2022 Author Share Posted January 7, 2022 No wonder politicians have got the image of being sparing with the truth, which has happened here and being arrogant and underhand. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
