Cambon Posted September 17, 2020 Share Posted September 17, 2020 9 minutes ago, Banker said: What will you say to the many unemployed on the island with a bleak future plus the 21 airport workers who lost their jobs today. Will you offer to pay their mortgages? As you said earlier, we will have to wait and see. Unemployment was down again last month to under 1000. At its top it was 1300, made up of 400 unemployable, 200 due to the pre Covid collapse of Flybe, 300 looking for work having left university, 400 other, including hotel workers, and various other tourist trade related and other affected industries, along with regular school leavers looking for apprenticeships, etc. Many of these people have found work. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you just make this stuff up!! 200 unemployed flybe workers is just lies,300 from university is more shite! The unemployable will be those on disability. i would expect the figures have been somewhat massaged with some going on other allowances! but don’t worry another 21 airport workers joined the numbers today 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although, of course, there is nothing stopping anyone from travelling if they want to. And there hasn't been for ages. Though goodness only knows why anyone would want to at the moment. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is going to be social unrest at the end of this when people realize just how fucked over they’ve been. We (the UK in particular) deserves that too. We, aren’t the UK 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why wouldn’t they want to go away? It’s not like 28 Days Later when you get to Heysham. You’re obviously watching too much terrorizing telly and not speaking to people who actually live in the UK. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like scared come overs think they get to dictate what some Manxies should do now. It’s all about managing risks. I have no doubt you will have a great time and that family interaction is worth a lot more to you and your kids from a mental health perspective than some peoples insular paranoid view of the world.
