Stu Peters Posted August 27, 2021 Share Posted August 27, 2021 1 hour ago, Banker said: Anyone in middle had any manifestos yet as I haven’t? You'll have mine soon. I decided to wait until I was at least an 'official' candidate on 25th August (closing day for nominations) before going to print and postage, and suspect that others felt the same. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SleepyJoe Posted August 29, 2021 Share Posted August 29, 2021 (edited) If Keiran declares himself an environmentalist & opposes any further unnecessary development on the green fields of Middle then he should surely gain an amount of voter support? I grew up there & I ******* well hate what Quayle & the Green Party's Jessopp have done to the rural environment Edited August 29, 2021 by SleepyJoe 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In crisis that was wholly made by the UK and USA they should be made to sort out the refugee issue whatever the cost. You break it you pay. In Manx terms I wholly support your previous sentiments. If the Island can help long term then it should but not with token gestures. Errrr I think you'll find that Iran and Pakistan had rather a lot to do with it. Personally I think the IOM simply lacks the critical mass to make much difference here. For example how many islanders speak Pashto? Non-starter really.

Well we could take some English speaking refugees, there does seem to be a fair few particularly those who worked with the western forces Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially when you think deeply enough about the issue and realise that Iran and Pakistan want their victory over the Western Democracies to be so complete that they want the Taliban to take Afghanistan back to Stone Age ideals. So any refugees will want the extended family out of Kabul to join them ASAFP. Creating an even bigger problem. Nobody wins. Still, if you have space in your gaff by all means sponsor some Afghani refugees! Be sure to report back how it went.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoping your least favorite friend doesn’t win euromillions. Never has Fowler had a weaker set of opponents than this, he scored well in South Douglas last time, should be a walk over this time.

I mean really, having a curry, I can't believe he bit on that! Plus I abhor racism. Always have, always will. Especially after brexit.
