People are a bit slow on the uptake aren’t they? It surprises me how long it takes for people to suddenly be triggered by a news story and suddenly they all jump on the bandwagon, having seen the recent post by IOM police on Facebook, I can only assume people have taken to reporting Mr Quayle, what an absolute waste of time.

It's only an interim step re 2 plus 2 vaccination. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have an old auntie booked on one who is all excited about being mask free in pubs etc. Staying at a best Western week after next and she has friends on another headed for the Claremont. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris4652009 Posted June 23, 2021 Share Posted June 23, 2021 (edited) I'm itching to come across but tbh I can see the usual tinpot knee jerk reaction and borders getting shut back down pretty quick, hence I'm holding back on booking anything at the moment Edited June 23, 2021 by chris4652009 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To have a go at the media is rather comical, his PR minders and his train load of entourage, bag carriers, and flunkies must also find his outbursts hilarious. It is perception by others and a do as I say not as I do mentality which people are fed up of. The them and us and almost 3 tiered society - one rule for politicos, and preferred suppliers, one rule for civil servants, government employees and government agencies whilst the general plebs are having to obey all the diktats, and if we break the rules we are severely punished - it’s either black or white, no shades of grey. HRH The Chief Minister should bow out gracefully or retire on grounds of ill-health, there must a deputy Chief Minister? 14 minutes ago, Roxanne said: Mrs Quayle? That'd be brilliant. Get rid of one dimwitted imbecile to replace it with someone dimwitted enough to marry a dimwitted imbecile. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rest assured they are in the minority and the rest of us would welcome anyone who wants to visit. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2112 Posted June 23, 2021 Share Posted June 23, 2021 10 minutes ago, Roxanne said: Mrs Quayle? I don’t know whether she attended. Overall HRH The Chief Minister has a lot of people at his disposal or on the IOMG payroll. No doubt he has handlers, ex IOM newspapers journos who can provide advise. His spat with the Nations Propaganda Mouthpiece is a belter - he mentioned taxpayers subvention, which is an unusual departure for Government actually recognising the taxpayer. Is HRH The Chief Minister implying that as IOMG are keeping The Nations Propaganda Mouthpiece afloat/alive by form of taxpayers cash, then they have to give HRH The Chief Minister preferrential publicity? In other countries this could be viewed as corruption. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no need for rudeness, manners and treating people with respect, especially off island visitors cost nothing. You can fleece TT/FOM/MGP visitors with pleasure as most businesses do anyway.

The law says no visit to healthcare place unless in an emergency, the guidance allows the managers to give a dispensation. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the reassurance, I'm not booking anything until I see how the Gov react to the inevitable raise in cases....I really can see borders getting closed again pretty quickly if/when cases rise as predicted I'm Hoping to travel across towards the end of August, as said before I'm fully vaccinated and tested twice a week through my profession Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
