Think her mum and dad were Douglas Town Councillors and each Mayor in their own right. ( Bill & Glenda Corkish ). The only other quiet politician by name of Corkish that I can think of is Geoff, but think that whilst dad was Bill his mum wasn’t a Glenda. Who knows? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the polling station back in 2016, so you're all being a bit unfair. 1 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joebean Posted May 10, 2021 Share Posted May 10, 2021 In his last manifesto, my current MHK said that one of his priorities would be to ensure that rural areas would receive a decent level of broadband service. The current delivery schedule for fibre broadband connectivity stretches to 2024 and you can check when fibre service is predicted for your area. As I live in a rural area in this MHK's constituency I checked my postcode. Apparently, I will get a fibre cable connection in, you guessed it, 2024. Well done Tim. Last election you did not knock on my door looking for a vote. Please don't waste time doing so this time; you will not be getting my vote, but, if it is any consolation, nobody else will either. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whereas some seem to excel in wasting time tabling stupid questions or unimportant questions, she tends to take matters up privately. Find out the answer. Let her constituent know. I suppose that will be to her detriment though. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Derek Flint Posted May 11, 2021 Share Posted May 11, 2021 Any candidate who stands with a manifesto that asserts anything other than their broad vision, and their values, is a fraud. The rest are vapid promises, as there is no power or mandate other than the Chief Ministers. Interesting HQ has declared he isn’t standing. Why is that? Has he genuinely had enough, in his early fifties? Or does he know just what a precarious point the Island has reached? We’ve had five years of spaff -profligate spending with little control, and the next administration will have to get a grip. But then again, I thought much the same in 2016.
