Here are the OfCom rules on broadcasting in election periods: Consultation (ofcom.org.uk) No mention of podcasting, which is possibly narrowcasting rather than broadcasting 6 weeks before an election, so 12th August.

Barlow Posted May 22, 2021 Share Posted May 22, 2021 Looks like Phil is going for more politics from his latest somewhat verbose tweet. Is this the same guy that announced to the world that there were lots of scallops west of the Isle of Man, and the Scottish et al fishermen came and swept them up?

Amadeus Posted May 24, 2021 Share Posted May 24, 2021 9 minutes ago, TheTeapot said: A blog... https://fearandloathing2021.wixsite.com/website We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half full of cocaine, and a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers... and also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of Budweiser, a pint of raw ether and two dozen amyls. Not that we needed all that for the trip, but once you get locked into a serious local election, the tendency is to push it as far as you can. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pongo Posted June 4, 2021 Share Posted June 4, 2021 Presumably the main questions people will be asking potential MHKs will relate to the G7 (soon to be G20 and OECD) tax proposals. Which will either be agreed within days or are coming sooner or later. The main questions being: 1. How will this impact the IOM? 2. What is Plan B?
