Kopek Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 I don't think that you can spend 20 years as a 'Hot headed socialist' and then forget those sentiments as you get older? More likely you take a more nuanced, reasoned view of the problems, the chances of solving these problems and how to go about it? This is where older people score over impetuous youth??? I would not be without those youngsters though! Keeps us thinking about the problems! 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So we’re massively in credit. His presumed age group has probably taken more out than they’ve paid in. Not on the IOM you haven't, and you're now taking £70+ grand per year for very little. Not sure you're much in credit, if at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure you're much in credit, if at all. 26 years paying into the IOM, and it's not like my current salary is a gift that I 'take' (although you obviously think it is). The only 'very little' I do for it is ask daft questions and try to score points in Keys and Tynwald and pander to people like you who think that's what makes a good MHK. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not at all, I'm happy to give you the benefit of the doubt that your lack of questions is no measure of your performance. The reason I think you do little is because, despite asking you directly several times, you have still failed to mention a single achievement. In the face of such radio silence to your electorate, we have no option but to look to your public persona for your achievements do we?
