It isn’t that simple, though, is it. I could list opinions, and that’s what they’d be, that tend to the opposite conclusion. But I can’t be bothered dealing with the backlash.

Kopek Posted June 24, 2022 Share Posted June 24, 2022 No, you're too old!!! We'll get someone younger to represent us!!! Actually, I meant you could present the argument in consideration of both sides. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quilp Posted June 24, 2022 Share Posted June 24, 2022 Why would he wanna do that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kopek Posted June 24, 2022 Share Posted June 24, 2022 I didn't say that he would want to but rather he would be the sort of person who could be respected to offer a balanced view? Of course, if he came out in favour of continuing, I would flame him!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All TT threads, regardless of the year, descend into the repetitive arguments from both sides so I would say there's really little more to draw on or throw up for discussion. It's all been said already so what would be the point? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kopek Posted June 24, 2022 Share Posted June 24, 2022 Even the five deaths in this current year? With all the lurid hints at the type death? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shake me up Judy Posted June 24, 2022 Share Posted June 24, 2022 Has the Coroner's report of the sidecar incident been pulled from the Courts website as well ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They love the media coverage when things go well but aren't prepared to tolerate it when things go horrifically wrong, as they do year after year. It's not that at all, most seemed disgusted that the descriptions of the deaths were so graphic and disrespectful. It wasn't easy to say what their thoughts were about the TT, I'd have said most were neutral? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JW will know for sure, but I don't believe every inquest is published online, only those with a 'significant public inquest', hence why there are relatively only a handful of inquest judgments published. In any case, the inquests from deaths at TT have only been opened and adjourned John, why is it the case not all judgments are published when all other judgments are? I suspect it is not required to be published due to, the relatively speaking, private matters at hand of suicides etc. Unless of course they are under the care of a government dept etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fedupwithiom Posted June 24, 2022 Share Posted June 24, 2022 Sadly accurate portrayal and we either have to stop it or just get used to it or try to reduce the deaths in some way. I just worry that we are getting desensitised to this like we are to so many other horrific events going on at moment. When does it stop being a sport? I know the competitors make there own choices just think would be more comfortable with it if it were run by people who understood it rather than the government run over commercialised event it has become. Take it back 20 or 30 years when TT was more true to its roots. Gov have created a monster which will destroy itself 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
