The vote also carried 20-11 in Tynwald as CoMin only had the support of Callister, Perkins and Greenhill in LegCo. So they were actually ignoring the will of Tynwald as well. A few extra bags of sand and a couple more buckets are on the way to Tynwald as I write, just in case they run out of places to bury their heads at the next sitting. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It IS essential, I wish the owner of this one would bloody use them. They've obviously had to make some change to their life due to the lockdown that's resulted in them leaving the dog at home cos this is a new thing and the dog shuts up around tea time. Its one of those high pitched yappy ones. Grr. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he said on Monday there would be another one today (and Friday) so no immediate reason to suspect it is anything out of the ordinary. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps, in the case of holiday cottages being used for accommodation, the owners should be made responsible for ensuring that key workers accommodated in their cottages actually adhere to the applicable covid restrictions - given that it is these same owners who receive payment from the IOM Gov for this accommodation?

The last few days theres been a dog near me that's obviously locked in a flat on its own that hasn't shut up. Its doing my head in. 2 hours ago, TheTeapot said: It IS essential, I wish the owner of this one would bloody use them.

Its one of those high pitched yappy ones. Grr. There's a dog down our road been barking for over 10 years. There was a law introduced for this specific situation but it has been poorly thought out and is effectively useless (as has been found by neighbours). It's easier to wait for the dog to die, if me and the neighbours don't die first. Edited January 13, 2021 by Barlow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They can't on this, it's here and now and very public, with 100% of that public affected in one way or another and very concerned. It's time to be accountable. Very probably the entire population are scrutinising their every move because it may be life or death for some. It's not another MEA or PS Pensions issue, for instance, where they can repackage it to be dumped on the taxpayer and/or kick it down the road for the next administration to deal with. Not another report that they can shelve out of embarrassment or "commercial confidentiality". It's here and now and it's big. And I hope those who voted against testing have got some answers.

More than half of the respondent's were happy with the way the crisis was being dealt with and signalled their approval. They're likely to just hang on every word and action thinking that government knows what's best and content that they carry on doing it thus making them unlikely to complain when/if the whole thing goes tits-up. Apathy rules over here when it comes down to it, hence the historical lack of accountability. 26 minutes ago, Banker said: Hope Onchan and Garff members remember come election time If you believe that come election time anything will be different you're deluded. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is exactly why we pay these people a very competitive salary and a gold plated pension. Not just for arranging to fix the pavement outside Mrs Clegg's house down the road or helping to award a contract to their old mate from school. Time to attempt to eke out as much as they can from the grey matter they have and take the bullets if they get their decisions wrong. None of them thought they were going into politics to deal with a situation as serious as this, so it's sink or swim time otherwise they will be back doing the day job this time next year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
