What was he thinking . Thinking he'd be looked upon favourably by those mhks who'd done the hard yards getting re-elected was another. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wasn’t a fan of Craine but he is an improvement upon Shimmins. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would say that description matches Chris Thomas to a tee. Maybe in February 2023, he could take the Legco bait, and he could still sit on committees and come up with ideas.

Sadly he still wouldn't have achieved much ,Chris has really never produced anything of substance , a great talker but never delivers the goods ,what the old Manxies call a Yam Yat better watch out a few new kids on the block before the next general election and Chris could be history ,we have seen this happen so many times ,I never dreamed Ann Corlett would have seen him off in September , but she did ,! 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What a disappointment obviously the public’s opinion counts for nothing. Shame on the MHKs who voted for this man. Do you really know enough about the man to say this? Why is there shame on MHK's who voted for him? Be interesting to know what esoteria you appear to possess... 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shake me up Judy Posted November 23, 2021 Share Posted November 23, 2021 It's Paul by the way. Take it from me he certainly has an eye for detail. Stat-Man can knit fog. It's not detail types and committee men/women we need right now. We need people who'll get stuck in and tackle the big issues that we discuss on here every day. People with vision and a deep sense of what needs addressing, changing and fixing. That's not what they've voted in here. 3 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What on earth is a ‘sandwich’ year? When you spend a year of your degree working, for example at industry, or studying, for example at an overseas university.

Shake me up Judy Posted November 23, 2021 Share Posted November 23, 2021 I think Peter Karran once took a sandwich year before he went into politics didn't he ? Don't remember what was in them though... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there anyone who looks at the Isle of Man Government and says "What we really need is more bullshit rhetoric"? When you have the attitude that details are for little people then you get on-going disasters like the Prom and the Airport. 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hissingsid Posted November 23, 2021 Share Posted November 23, 2021 I have no details wrong he stood for Middle on two occasions and on the second even Howard beat him which says a lot. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
