I had occasion to go to hospital for a few days before being discharged shortly before Christmas and was tested for COVID When I asked the nurse for the result she answered that she wouldn’t be at the foot of my bed if I had tested positive!.

Actually Jonathan is a mere stripling of 188 or so and didn't arrive on the island till 1882. Though at least he and the other Saints saw through Charters more quickly than Quayle did, I think he was out in three months and they didn't have a boat in the morning. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apple Posted March 17, 2021 Share Posted March 17, 2021 Well, today's "democratic" Tynwald was an absolute perfect example of why people who are born here should consider moving away in search of something better, why anyone thinking of moving here to "flourish" should think twice, and why anyone should really not consider setting upon a new business here. Not one indication of how with perfect geographical location, the many, many references to the willing public and businesses to adhere to lockdowns, the 'tireless' efforts and contributions of both front line and back room staff, of how we are still in the position we are. There has been much better and praiseworthy information, communications and common sense shown on this forum than was on display today in Tynwald. It sounded confused, tired and disjointed - and it was all on public display for the whole world to hear - not see - but that is another sore point. It did not do the island any favours. Someone needs to get this situation under new management and quickly. several comments about continuing public adherence to the rules, comments about people being confused and angry now, worried and anxious people reports from constituents all paint a worrying picture and damages even the best efforts of people who take and abide by the rules as best they are required to. In short, their collective performance to day did not inspire me. It lacked passion (apart from one speaker) and did nothing to assure me that they know what they are doing (none of us are experts the most common phrase), have any realistic idea of how to present themselves for the overall benefit to the island, created an atmosphere of not working to gather for the common aim (not that they seem to know what that is anyway. I could go on. I know there is a boat etc. One thing I do know -it can't get any worse now. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He also seems to have made an enemy of the word, 'shertificate'. It's the little things. No it’s not the little things. Mispronunciations are very small beer when we are talking about a worldwide pandemic killing thousands or millions of people. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe we expected too much from the collection of those purporting to be capable of dealing competently with a major crisis. Example - Only now seeking outside advice -what on earth is that all about. We probably expected too much from the beginning. And we still may be in the end.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quayle’s multiple failings, both in temperament and competence, were only too well known to those who foisted him on this Island as the lacklustre, deliver-nothing CM he became. They are as deserving as censure as him. And he is indeed a domineering, duplicitous bully. And a lot more besides. 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Voice of Reason Posted March 17, 2021 Share Posted March 17, 2021 I abhor censorship. But when you get the likes of Moulton asking the most stupidest of questions which add no value then there does come a time when you have to question what value he ( and others) add to to the process. Other than comedic value they add nothing to the conversation surrounding the issue. Valuable time which could be spent addressing the actual issues. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Quayle said to Tynwald when announcing this today that ''members all know and like / respect James''. So even more IOMG control, control and control. Doesn't that say it all really? Here is a bit from James's company website: ''We are also the exclusive agents for key advertising sites around the Isle of Man, including the Airport, Sea Terminal, Palace and Broadway Cinemas, Bus Vannin fleet, Isle of Man Steam Packet Company vessels and UK ferry terminals.'' No-one could make this stuff up............................................................ was it all questions? thought it was only some sessions? also I thought James Davis had worked for the Cabinet Office?

The failing of Tynwald members is that it’s only the onset of the election that has prompted this ballsy assault on CoMin - it should have begun 5 years ago. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
