Kopek Posted February 28, 2021 Share Posted February 28, 2021 39 minutes ago, Gladys said: The AG is the government's legal adviser, they (AG's chambers) would draft an order or direction to put effect to the Comin decision in accordance with the relevant legislation. What I would question Gladys, is that what powers have been transfered away from the original powers to other Depts, ie Health , to enable enactment of the old powers given to the AG or Comin that are now empowered within, some such, Depts or purely within Comin to enact a full Lock down? Or if the AGs dept is required to legalise the decision of Comin, is HE not available to give this legal formulatsasion? Is he on the golf course? I can't believe that a decision by Comin is not legalised in an emergancy? So, why does HQ say otherwise???? We'd like you to shut down but it's up to you!!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m just surprised this forum seems to have its own Barry Norman who apparently gets to post critiques on other contributors posts. How very bizarre. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This IOM newspapers report makes it clear that this is not a legal lockdown amd that the request for people to stay at home is completely unenforceable. http://www.iomtoday.co.im/article.cfm?id=60784 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nomadic Raptor Posted February 28, 2021 Share Posted February 28, 2021 When is this insane madness going to end.... so two people have unexplained COVID so whole island is advised to stay home everything is cancelled. we have vaccinated the most vulnerable didn’t they quote 20k? come may or June when borders open there will be unexplained cases it will happen in general life. We cannot close everything down every time somebody gets something. In my opinion we just have to get on with now keep vaccinating but life really has to go on, if your ill self isolate but it’s insane all of this 9 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can guess what’s happened. A couple of interfering old busybodies next door will have come out of hiding under the stairs since 3 o’clock to the sound of music next door and called the police because it’s lockdown! and the police will have gone round to ask people to calm it down. It’s going to be impossible to police with so many lockdown crackpots around unfortunately. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nomadic Raptor Posted February 28, 2021 Share Posted February 28, 2021 Watch now will get all these people saying “oh but your not locked down it’s not legal” but all sport was cancelled yesterday all sport cancelled today that is around a couple of thousand kids not doing sport on a beautiful day when the risks are extremely low to them. I can’t go to gym pub or any paid activity or shop as they are all closed because two people who are ill most people it doesn’t kill. if I was living in Ramsey or peel or port Erin o would be so annoyed as they are locked down for a cluster which is predominantly on Douglas 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
