Banker Posted November 10, 2021 Share Posted November 10, 2021 Lots of vibrant & sustainable mentioned & rather long without many details. Although if all the aims are achieved we’ll all be very happy 😀 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doc.fixit Posted November 10, 2021 Share Posted November 10, 2021 Anyone can dream instead of the current nightmare. Just get things working properly without any more govt. staff, in fact reduce the managers and dreamers. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Max Power Posted November 10, 2021 Share Posted November 10, 2021 No real substance until January, which seems optimistic but great if things are beginning to move to sensible timescales/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2112 Posted November 10, 2021 Share Posted November 10, 2021 Lots of civil servants will be recruited. Lots of houses needed to house them, lots of money for the builders to build houses for sale. Lots of pensions to payout ……….. in the future. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately that's only Gef's spin on the 'Plan' rather than anything actually in it. All the report actually says is: Every Department and Board must produce an annual report for Tynwald debate, scrutiny and approval led by the Minister or Chairperson. These will be tabled throughout the parliamentary year. These reports will lay out clearly the actions undertaken by the department, the positive impact on the Island and determine and justify staffing levels. So they'll all just say "We need to employ loads of people because we are terribly important". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will they give marks out of 10 or a school type report card as to how each department does? Pupil - D Ashford - Treasury - Tax take down, residents fleeing the island, businesses fed up with the rules and regulations, and no support. Grade - Fail. Go and sit in the corner with a Dunces Hat. The report online - lots of nice warm words and pictures. No colouring in mandalas for the Ministers, with crayons. Very expensive piece of spin, created by Civil Servants.

(Will that keep them quiet for the next five years, do you think?) Given the fact that each department etc will have their plan debated etc, will their be a proper debate? Tynpotwald when they debate aren’t consistent. Sometimes they will spend hours talking and debating absolute shite, but serious matters of national importance are debated in the space of an hour. The ayes have it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially if the TT is held next year, the new scoreboard was to have been a £mmmm’s all singing and dancing electronic and televisual masterpiece. It will be come down if it’s a Heath Robinson affair, constructed out of plywood and painted by one of Governments favoured painters.
