But it is the Government who have to make the decisions as to how to deal with this pandemic and it is they who will be judged. OK, in the court of Manx Forums (which tends to attract the more cynical and anti government by nature) they have been judged and largely found wanting. But in the wider court of Manx Public opinion ( one which I would suggest is more important) a very different verdict has been given . Of this there is no doubt. Anyone who suggests differently should take a straw poll in Strand Street, Parliament Street or any other street on the Island Does anyone else think that this is Jacob Rees Mogg? 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely true, and it will never ever change as government structure and procedure is pre-determined. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fortunately for the government and the likes of yourself the aforementioned 95% couldn't give two hoots about how the island is run as they have an " I'm alright Jack" mentality.

We’ll it has been suggested previously ( by you, if I’m not mistaken, forgive me if not) that I am either Howard Quayle or David Ashford. One day you will get it right. But at this rate I think it will take quite some time 🙂 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Previously unheard of I would suggest. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
