The Queen is due to open the event We can hope IOMG representation will flush out who in CanCom is actually taking political responsibility for climate change response Perhaps it will be KLB & Mrs Barber So is your hero Mrs Caine and her entourage going to this event using active travel or a multi day journey in an EV and boat or using the plane?

2112 Posted October 23, 2021 Author Share Posted October 23, 2021 I’ll be very surprised if the entourage doesn’t include Alf, Ashy and a cotery of civil servants. It doesn’t matter it will come out of the £400million green loan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just out of interest, it would be interesting how many MHKs and MLCs are actually as green as they pretend. For example, how many have electric vehicles (excluding hybrids)? How many politicos have solar panels and heat pumps? How many politicos have switched to alternative forms of fuel for heating? It’s important as they are supposed to be practicing what they preach, and setting an example. That also includes trips abroad, and trips off island on official business and unofficial business. If they do, do they offset the carbon emissions by for example, planting trees (at their expense)? 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoTail Posted October 23, 2021 Share Posted October 23, 2021 I was thinking about this green bollocks yesterday. If our masters truly want us to get to net zero by 2050 they better get a move on. All new building developments should have, by law, solar panels, highest rating insulation, heat pumps and charging facility for the electric vehicle. The TT would have to be cancelled. All unnecessary use of burning carbon abandoned such as firework displays. The new steamy boat will have to run on burning unicorns or something. Of course non of this will happen. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Douglas Corpy have already started by scratching the Nov 5th fireworks this year. Ahead of the curve as always... I just wonder what they'll spend the budget on instead.

I’m sure they may be cancelled again, as likely to either pollute the atmosphere with CO2, or be an excuse to spread COVID. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kopek Posted October 23, 2021 Share Posted October 23, 2021 I believe that Daphne C is going to float the delegates across on her back while they use those extra wide Manx Tartan Lapels as paddles??? Those lapels, along with wearing that Red outfit while showing her face have to be her 'faux pas' in publicity seeking? Where's your pride Woman? 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hissingsid Posted October 23, 2021 Share Posted October 23, 2021 I believe the fireworks at Douglas are sponsored by the outfit that Mr Mummery is connected with he was on M R the other day saying it was disappointing but unavoidable.
