No chance they won't accelerate things and have us open soon, none at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't matter if kids have it and pass it round, the rest of us are/will be vaccinated so it is a non issue. There isn't even a vaccine signed off for use on kids yet is there? We will all be locked away for ever if we wait for that and panic about a virus floating around in a population with basically herd immunity as a result of vaccinations. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He gets 88l for his job. What else is irrelevant to his job. 88k isn't a lot for what he does. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe - but how many anti-vaxxers have we got - and how many crapped themselves and pulled out of jabs this week - especially after their comms debacle?

Howard Quayle intimated that we are taking our advice, or at least some of it, from academics at the University of Warwick. The evidence, as we’ve discovered to our peril, is quite clearly contrary to what they (UofW) have fed CoMin. I’d have thought the provenance of the science, data & advice for all the U.K. and Channel Islands would be from the same sources. That would make sense? Why are we using a University in Warwickshire! Maybe the U.K. do use them? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can’t see the electorate voting him back in Far bigger salaries - again your right, especially for people not exactly overbright, have a sense of entitlement and if their part of the establishment even better. I think HRH The Chief Minister will inherit the position of Tynpotwald President. Bigger Salary and fcuk all responsibilities, except to hold a chimps tea party to account every month. I think Tynpotwald members will run rings around him. Plenty of Morra My, Faster My and Cheef Cuntstable to be talked about. No doubt a statement about the new LEFTENANT Guvenor. You sound like a right tit. (And a left one probably) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snowman Posted April 16, 2021 Share Posted April 16, 2021 if visitors to IOM are going to have a reduced quarantine from May, will that reduction also apply to island residents who travel to the UK ? why not intorduce a reduction for both at the same time ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t see how they could try & justify otherwise. We, as Islanders, would or should have exactly the same rights as anyone travelling here & be expected to follow the same isolation protocols in place at that point in time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
