A Twitter campaign a week about rubbish like broken trolleys or airport parking tickets. No self awareness whatsoever.

I also don’t need self awareness advice from anyone who had a total embarrassing covid meltdown either.

In fact, why would anyone want any public office on such a small island where everyone is an expert and happy to put the boot in? Paid or voluntary.

Guest Posted May 4, 2023 Share Posted May 4, 2023 After reviewing all worldly knowledge available from Offshore, I feel that he is doing us all a disservice by not standing for an election. He really has all the answers so I think he really should be encouraged to do this for the community. To not do so will be a travesty for the population of this island. It clear he understand all technical and political processes so he’d be the perfect fit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's an old saying which I am frequently reminded of when reading this topic: Academic Politics Are So Vicious Because the Stakes Are So Small. That Quote Investigator article credits this formulation to Wallace Sayre if anyone, but points to an earlier similar statement by Samuel Johnson: But whether it be, that small things make mean men proud, and vanity catches small occasions; or that all contrariety of opinion, even in those that can defend it no longer, makes proud men angry; there is often found in commentaries a spontaneous strain of invective and contempt, more eager and venomous than is vented by the most furious controvertist in politicks against those whom he is hired to defame. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Come on, Offshore - if you stood on a progressive platform of REAL change, lots of people would vote for you. You’ve expressed what needs to be done. Seriously, you’ve got my vote in the bag already, if you stand. Plenty on here would vote for you.

That may sound odd given our spats but I would too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
