Time will tell I'm a little surprised but at the same it would be typical Comin mentality. Are we seeing a slide back into the old ways of Comin? Time will tell.

Charging lower NI than the UK, not updating the earnings thresholds for NI, not increasing the maximum earnings for NI, are three things that should have been addressed years ago. That is before we even start on the actual Manx tax system. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My best guess is it's some kind of PTSD effect. At one point you couldn't turn the TV or radio on without there being these public health warnings and people being told they couldn't sit next to a friend on a park bench. There's no way that didn't have am impact on people. I don't think we'll fully understand the true cost on people's mental health for years to come. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nom de plume Posted January 19, 2022 Share Posted January 19, 2022 You have to worry for the mental state of Glover & the Twitter doom coven right now. The U.K. Government is calling time on this whole sorry episode in March & they’re still clambering for restrictions & mitigations. Those that know them personally, please check on their well being. Through the window of course. 3 1 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
