There was even a direct call out to accredited media firms made after the first incidence. While the rules above say they may invite media firms to stop reporting you can guess that it will have been expressed as much more than an invitation to stop.

WTF Posted June 11, 2022 Share Posted June 11, 2022 20 minutes ago, Nellie said: This is an interesting point. A large area at Signpost Corner has now been turned into a prohibited area, hopefully temporarily, losing a lot of spectator capacity, after a fairly minor incident at the end of practice week. But could they do the same thing on QB Road? Can the organisers actually stop people watching from their own gardens, driveways etc. regardless of the perceived level of risk? yes, some one in ramsey ( admittedly commissioners housing IIRC ) couldn't sit in their own rented front garden in 2019. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Derek Flint Posted June 11, 2022 Share Posted June 11, 2022 I don’t know if it still happens, but there was a time that if you had a property that abounded the course where risk was foreseen, you were asked to sign a disclaimer. personally my response would have been to ask what the organizers were doing to prevent collateral intrusion into my property in the event of an incident? had a few done that I suspect we might not have an event today 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't had a single near miss this year, and I've driven more than I would like to at TT. Pretty much every year I've had a car I've had at least a couple, where a second or two difference could have ended in disaster. It's been loads better this year. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t have to back that up do I as it’s an opinion and I said ‘you can guess’ not ‘they have’. I’d better stop there though as I’d hate to cause another ‘technical glitch’ where the forum isn’t viewable for another few hours or so. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, @Banditsis deep down the conspiracy theory rabbit hole. “They” being used as the blanket descriptor of the alleged oppressor/evil/controller/denier of freedom is always a clue. When asked to identify “they”, and then being shown the identification is wrong, he just blunders on. The power to invite in para 71 is very rarely and sparingly used. I may not agree with the invitation, but I don’t know the fact matrix. But inquests, coroners inquiries, are really sensitive. I’d hope anyone “invited” would respect the invitation. And the veiled hints about technical glitches yesterday being caused by this. Laughable crap. There was a major platform upgrade overnight Thursday/Friday. It’s normal for there to be odd glitches immediately after. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You’re hilarious and it’s clear you have obviously been lent on the way you are now trying to bully and discredit an alternative view expressed by a poster. Are we going to have some random forum closures for technical reasons again today that just happen to coincide with posters seeking to question some of this mess? 😂 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"They" dont hesitate to call you on it to tell you to flick the switch on MF to give "them" some breathing space while "they" refine the lies "they" are about to spin. 2 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two in one post. We don’t get advised, in advance, by the platform providers, about updates, or glitches.

0bserver Posted June 11, 2022 Share Posted June 11, 2022 There's no overall conspiracy to silence people. But what does exist is an unwillingness among the media, NPM and politicos to talk about the dark side of the TT. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The unfortunate witness to the carnage last week is from a very wealth and well connected Manx family. It will be interesting to see if they do try and put the usual lid on things.
