Roger Mexico Posted September 11, 2022 Share Posted September 11, 2022 Anyway, among all this performative grief and performative disrespect, does anyone know if the Tynwald meeting on Tuesday to discuss The Cost of Living and take some measures relating to it? There's nothing to suggest it's been shelved that I can find, but some explicit discussion might be thought important. Manx Radio hasn't published a single news item that isn't royal-related since Thursday lunchtime (some truly cringeworthy). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SleepyJoe Posted September 11, 2022 Share Posted September 11, 2022 Question paper was published on Friday so I presume it is going ahead. They need members to approve the Treasury loan I hope that said members will demand an immediate start for wind turbine installation before agreeing the £26m funding 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoops Posted September 11, 2022 Share Posted September 11, 2022 Just now, De nada said: It should at least be humourous first. you might want to look up subjective. That joke did not show prejudice, discrimination or antagonism to meghan due to the colour of her skin. She is undeniably black, recognising that is not racist in itself, surely? I think people can be too knee jerk to these things 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I refuse to be browbeaten into what I should think. I just am thankful that I live in a relatively free society. Now someone’s in a rage as they didn’t take them down. Some people really need to get a grip. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AOR Posted September 11, 2022 Share Posted September 11, 2022 Although there is still the London leg to go, it was good to see that all but a very few heeded the request not to throw flowers at the cortege (where did that thing start? Clapping too?). I wonder what it will take to stop people putting tat on Fairy Bridge?
