Newsdesk Posted September 20, 2022 Share Posted September 20, 2022 So at 7:30 this morning they send out an email telling people not to now turn up at the 9:00 start time designated on the tickets but at 9:30 instead. Must be to give them time to have a cup of tea and find a park at the Villa. Pathetic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(apart from this I have no words) Lawrie can’t even get his fundamental dress sense right. Hosting a panel in what looks like velvet flares.

Moghrey Mie Posted September 20, 2022 Share Posted September 20, 2022 I went this morning. The usual vague stuff about 'making the island vibrant' whatever that means. Most of the climate change session was taken up with people introducing themselves. Most questions were left un-answered. Nobody explained why we didn't build a wind turbine 10 years ago or why the IOM Government is still buying petrol vehicles. We need action not words. 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes me too. If I didn’t think the future economic strategy was just a load of pie in the delusional bullshit to keep civil servants in jobs before I certainly believe it now. They are going to piss all the money we have in reserves up the wall in an attempt to try and find some shit that sticks. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moghrey Mie Posted September 20, 2022 Share Posted September 20, 2022 Companies are not coming here because the island is so far behind the times as regards 'green energy' and recycling etc etc. Most of them have sustainability goals these days and they are serious about achieving them. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What about a decent bus station for Douglas? We have only been waiting 15 years. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Numbers were relatively low as the day progressed. Largely pensioners and general government brown-nosers from the CoC. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
