RedSkyAtNight Posted May 8, 2020 Share Posted May 8, 2020 Been up and down a few times this week. Looks like things are going at a much quicker pace now. The workers must be using all that built up lockdown energy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Being maybe a tad cynical I would say its probably because DOI have had time to get the detailed work plans finished so now there's some structure as contractors now know what they are supposed to do as opposed to day to day instructions .

That sounds exactly like a message that would have been transmitted from Special Operations Executive on a dark night in November 1943 to a British spy hiding in an attic somewhere just north of Arras, France. 2 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes complete abuse of emergency powers to do what they were always going to do anyway. These are government departments that we simply can’t trust as they will even abuse a global pandemic where island residents have died in order to overrule what the public actually wanted.
