If people wanted change in politics here, they'd vote someone like @Josem but instead they voted sensibly 'normal' Manx answer to politicians. Josem would have done a damn sight better if he didn't do his campaigning by sitting on the bonnet of his beemer outside Scoill Vallajeelt. It's not a good look. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I distinctly remember a BMW plastered with Vote Josem flyers parked in the lay-by outside Scoill Vallajeelt before the by-election. Apologies if I have misremembered and/or it wasn't your BMW.

Josem Posted January 5, 2021 Share Posted January 5, 2021 Yeah, I'm not sure who/what car you might have seen, but here's a video of my car on election day in the background: https://www.facebook.com/100139794914931/videos/800494937361808 A beast of a mighty three (!) cylinder, one-litre, engine! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael eats celery, I can't imagine him owning a BMW unless it was an electric one. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kopek Posted January 5, 2021 Share Posted January 5, 2021 I remember seeing hi stuffing Celery into his tank at the Wessex but if he had made a nice celery and stilton soup it would have saved 263 food miles. Anyway, UP!, uppey? Up what? Dirty buggers! Uncle Ronnie will be around with his paint brush soon? 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bit of a poor show you demonizing "brexiteers" by lumping them in with other, less agreeable minorities like that.
