No. He’s trying to obfuscate, misrepresent and generally suggest that it was nothing to do with him (despite the fact that he’s on record as one of the Dynamic Duo at the time…and has the gong to prove it). 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bosley Posted July 22 Share Posted July 22 14 minutes ago, Sheldon said: I don't know about repentance, but that's quite the admission of culpability there. It is quite an admission. He admits people have been left long term traumatized by their treatment (who’d have guessed?). No other country in the world could have possibly jailed as many people as a % of the population than we did. If they ever did an analysis I’d bet we have the highest covid jailing numbers of any first world nation on earth - 72 out of a population of 85,000. I don’t think the UK put anyone in prison specifically for Covid breaches - but instead issued around 4,000 fines for a population of 65,000,000.

Yes bullies always seize their chance to bully. And that’s what elements of the Manx public sector did with absolute glee. There is a whole pile of them who should have been in prison for human rights abuses. Not these people. I hope one day a book is written about the little Island that got off on openly abusing its population over the pandemic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But let’s not forget it was Howie and Ashy (and the now exited Greenhow) who were getting off on their bargain basement Putin act of letting people be thrown in jail for buying sandwiches and bullying anyone in the DHSC trying to talk rational sense out of a job. Is he now trying to repent? Honestly, the fact they gleefully tried to destroy people's lives and livelihoods during this period was nothing short of criminal in itself. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree there are people still inside government who should have gone to prison over their behaviour over the border closures and the whole thing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
