On second thoughts, maybe I do from drama clubs. Is her mum Val Kissack (musical theatre) 🤔 Claire Christian was in my year for A levels so she is 47/48. Yes, JPW is Val Kissack’s daughter. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gladys Posted September 29, 2021 Share Posted September 29, 2021 4 hours ago, 2112 said: Yes you are right but non of the usual suspects that have served in the Bell and Quayle Regimes, and held ministerial roles have had the guts to stand up to the Sir Humphrey and Government Offices Mandarins. Quayle was weak as well, after all look at the increased civil servant headcount, which increases the pension liability to the taxpayer. Look at the new Government schemes, which come with new mini empires, like an octopus. Administrators, EOs, SEOs and HEOs to run registers etc. As regards Rob Callister, it is possible that he hit the campaign trail, canvassing for a CM nomination. On this island I wouldn’t be surprised, regardless of ability. Let’s face it he sat on the Promenade Committee for 3 years and obviously did diddly squat - unable to influence - a good characteristic of a CM. Keeping Quiet - definite Manx politician characteristic. I don’t think Alf, Alex or Chris have any other better skills. You can only work with the Tools at your disposal. Crap Tools! You can definitely rule out Ashford. I would hazard a guess that if the Industrial Tribunal goes against the DHSC, and Ashford is criticised, he may have to resign both ministerial and MHK seat - take one for the team! That is assuming there is a team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
