Like losing your house, having to use food banks, people being isolated from the world because we don't even have support bubbles etc. The mental health argument really doesn't wash when so many are being treated so badly and some are stressing they can't throw some rubbish away. "Mental health" these days often seems to be the new "bad back". 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And note to the DOI when you’re on public display wear a fucking mask like everyone else you morons because the rules apply to you too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
horatiotheturd Posted March 11, 2021 Share Posted March 11, 2021 I was out and about for a rare trip this morning, to take the Mrs to the airport for her jab. I waited in the car park with the window down and empty spaces each side of me and got told off by some busy body for not wearing a mask. Apparently if you are transporting someone to the vaccine hub you should wear a mask in the car. He still didn't seem to grasp it when I pointed out that we share a bed but whatever. Loads of traffic on the roads again, cars full of families and while out on what was an essential journey anyway we took the opportunity to take sandwiches and park up and watch the sea. Can't believe how many groups of adults were out with full family in tow. One of whom was a teacher from my sons school with her own kids at 11:30 on a Thursday. Full pay. Total joke 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They did set up one but it is headed up by Greenhow & Magson and other Government officials from health etc, no external advisors!! Took Ashie 2 months to reveal this after being asked in January, basically said we don’t need external advice!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gladys Posted March 11, 2021 Share Posted March 11, 2021 48 minutes ago, Annoymouse said: In my experience even when fully operational you’ll struggle to find a site worker keen to help, they’ll typically shout orders or point from a distance, majority of the time they aren’t on lend to help, I’ve seen people struggle with sofas/washing machines and it’s almost always been a member of the public (including myself) who steps in to help. I can’t blame them, they get paid an pittance (particularly D.B.C) but the job role is split into two categories, what they actually get paid to do (pretty much supervise it’s disposed correctly) and what the public expect them to do (assist with everything). They advertise asking staff for help, perhaps that is only help in which skip to use. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do the clinking walk of shame through the square to the recycling bins, but in lockdown 1 they blocked them off. At least they havent done that this time.

Julie Edge MHK too: Along with Daphne Caine MHK, I think the backbenchers are starting to make their voice heard. All these interviews would previously have been heard on Manx Radio Morning Mandate but Alex and the Manx Radio crew would rather play some records and some adverts, and be a station of mainly DJs. Paul Moulton should be given a cut of the 6 figure subvention that Manx Radio receives. These interviews seem to be the only way of finding out what anyone other than Howie and Ashie and that, are thinking. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course they need external advice, it may help with tweaking policies so that they don't have to change when the public points out they are unworkable or daft, vis, dog walking, exercise etc. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of the issues can be found voiced in this thread. She is part of the DHSC isn't she?
