Sounds a bit rash. I'm sure the students will be ok, but who knows what things are going to be like in 3 months time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't you know any youngsters? They're stupid and they think they're invulnerable. Why else do you think far and away the most RTA's are caused by young men?

HeliX Posted September 23, 2020 Share Posted September 23, 2020 Suggesting that young men being full of testosterone and enjoying driving quickly despite not having the experience necessary to do so also means that they'll ignore lockdown rules is a bit tenuous. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manx Bean Posted September 23, 2020 Share Posted September 23, 2020 Anyone want to guess what the Fat Controller is going to say in his Presidential Address to the Nation on Thursday? My guess is "We will be monitoring the situation in the adjacent Isle very carefully" followed by a round of the usual fuckwit questions from our local "journalists" 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep pander to the Facebook idiots, scaremongers, hysteria spreaders and move back to level 5. That’s what the petrified masses want. Or maybe even find a new level where any mention of someone thinking of going to the UK gets someone 6 weeks in prison. Only if your neighbour intercepts your thoughts though and shops you to the 111 line as still no more people employed to actually do any checks in the coronavirus team. That’s for sure.

TheTeapot Posted September 23, 2020 Share Posted September 23, 2020 I'll be a bit annoyed if they go back to level 5, they've had quite enough time to put a proper working system in place. It was the right approach the first time round and gave the breathing space to plan. If they just revert to it what it shows is that they've done fuck all. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nom de plume Posted September 23, 2020 Share Posted September 23, 2020 (edited) I noted Guernsey have taken ownership of the latest testing hardware in preparation of their move to Level 5C (testing on entry). It would seem they are still giving serious consideration to moving up the levels despite the problems within the UK. They will adopt a traffic light system similar to Jersey in which arrivals from certain countries will be allowed unrestricted movement following a negative test on entry (further test on 5 or 7 days). Perhaps Mr. Quayle will be providing the Manx people with an update on the procurement of such equipment here & their plans for implementation.
