Or could it be that you, your fellow German Falk Horning(Chairman of the Environment etc Committee) and the other idiotic Councillors who supported this nonsense and have stayed silent ever since think that this is actually Germany in 1930s and that So mentioning Germans , the war is not being anti German?

But I guess its far easier to be a prick on an anonymous forum than to make an effort to understand and engage. Disclaimer: I do not work for govenment, i do not know Frank. Perhaps if Amadeus ceased his relentless online complaining about just about everything to do with the IOM you might have a point. But you don’t. As for it being an anonymous forum - as an admin I’m sure he has access to peoples email and IP addresses so that doesn’t even hold water either. The fact is this is a grossly unpopular move and if Tynwald did something similar I’m sure the good councillor would be all over Twitter saying how crap it was.

Democracy at Douglas Borough Council my ar*e. The fact that you have to continually stress that he is German is clear evidence that you are prejudiced against the guy just because he is German. Not even counting your clumsy reference to the 1930s. You could at least spell his name correctly. Give your head a little wobble. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Augustus Posted November 28, 2022 Share Posted November 28, 2022 Carefully filled green bin (garden waste). They've emptied it into the bin lorry with all the other waste. No distinction at all. Why should we bother? 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, it is not. It is historical fact. You should stop being so hypersensitive. I never figured you for a snowflake! Anyway, this is all off-topic which is about DBC's competence (ha ha), democratic credentials (ha ha) and all related matters. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I compared nothing at all to the Holocaust but I did use Germany in the 1930s as a very good example of dictatorial governance! I actually lost countless members of my own family in said Holocaust.

Presumably what happened is that they saw a bin out and decided to be kind and empty it anyway rather than leave it till March.
