Kopek Posted August 30, 2023 Share Posted August 30, 2023 This would seem to be a good decision as some of the press reports would imply that some of the managers could possi8bly have reacted better to the unfolding events. The other news of the day is the move to compel defendants ,or face an increased sentance? to attend court for the verdict! Of course I know nothing of the mindset of Letby but maybe she was able to continue to offend by denying responsibility to allow her to continue to offend and the progress of the trial and the inevitable verdict and victim statements was a realisation of her actions that she didn't want to face or the opprobrium of the court or the press or the victim statements because this process had brought it home or forced her to accept blame for her actions? I've no doubt that there was a psychological problem that allowed her to continue in her actions but the thought of her or anyone being forced into court to hear the verdict does not seem to be part of the rehabilitation process??? The move to force attendance is a political move, for political reasons?, not always the best reaction? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plenty of other reasons but health was the main, second was protecting the equity in my house. Your body may have left the island mate, but your heads still here.

As I have a dog, visiting from Cornwall isn't so simple but planning on a mobile home visit for a few weeks when the Ramsey Pier restoration is finished. Despite all the self-inflicted crap going on, the IOM is a beautiful place. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would be the case were the DOI in charge, but given the speed and effort of the volunteers I don't think that's the case. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was walking down the beach under the pier a couple of weeks back and had a look at what's going on, the workmanship on what they've done is excellent. They're on the 5th bay now, it's going to take many years to complete the job but big respect due for taking it on. Their work and enthusiasm contrasts sharply with that of the wasters who took the decision to let the pier fall into dereliction in the first instance IMHO. 5 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given you can’t book the Steam Packet beyond January 2024 ( as ever the next year timetable isn’t uploaded until mid October ) and the glacial pace of restoration, I wouldn’t gamble on you, or the dog, being with us still when the pier restoration is finished.

The guys are doing a far better job than the DOI who wanted to knock it down. Anyway, planning on being around for many years to come. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or any of us. I remember hearing an interview a few months ago where one of the QPRT people gave a figure ( without buying in help) of a good few decades ahead for completion. Less if they were able to pay for outside help. Anyway they are doing a fantastic job and good on them for keeping the pier alive when it was is real danger of just being dismantled. Respect. 3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
