jichaelmosem Posted June 30, 2021 Share Posted June 30, 2021 Can we get a list of normal occupations please? Just want to make sure I'm normal as that'll be a very tricky convo with the wife if not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HeliX Posted June 30, 2021 Share Posted June 30, 2021 I do like the way "organiser" is somehow more offensive than "retired" (aka layabout). 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve got no issue with anyone wanting to stand for public office, even if they are getting their income through state benefits. Retirees have a lot of life experiences which can be a benefit. Immigrants from Commonwealth countries also can have a great and valuable input into Manx and British Society. After all they all have similar issues to which we all have to contend with at local and national level, even Australia has parish pump politics. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The field on the form doesn’t actual ask for your occupation. It says Description and you can put in whatever describes you best I guess. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boris Johnson Posted June 30, 2021 Share Posted June 30, 2021 I remember a TT entrant had "Tarmac Compaction Technician" as his occupation, which raised a smile. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Running a campaign to prevent an all-Island speed limit as a springboard for a political career was pretty immoral though. It was/is something up for debate, not sure how you put a moral twist on it. Good luck Frank, very pleased for you. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For anyone elected as an MHK etc that doesn't change really, does it. It's just that they can decide how much those "benefits" are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ashie was a serial candidate for the Keys until he was elected in 2016. What are his achievements? he stood at the 2015 by-election and that was it? hardly serial Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whatever bee you’ve got in your bonnet tonight, about LGBT matters, Clare Barber, or the suggestion that some medical and social care services for LGBT on Island needs improving, you’re coming over as mealy mouthed at best and homophobic at worst. I suggest you free the inner bee. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps someone then can explain exactly what the shortcomings in the health services access are in respect of LGBT and what is this piece of work that is going to fix it. How ? I listened to the clip and to me it is just a vague reference to more problems in the health services. She's been part of that Department so what has she done about this before now. Why can't she say specifically what the problems are and how it will be sorted out, instead of the politico speak which frankly doesn't mean anything concrete.

But that’s exactly what you’re doing civil servant management politico babble, avoiding the question. What exactly are you alleging? Some LGBT services are appalling. HIV - most people go to Liverpool rather than use Nobles Pre Exposure Prophylaxis - not available. The pills don’t cost much. The supply for all gay men for a year is less than one seroconversion Trans - really difficult to get a referral to gender clinic off island. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
