But, you have had a 'updragging' where you think the world owes you everything and are an entitled prick. The Police had a job to do. They closed the area down for that reason. Not to stop people like you getting likes and comments on Youtube, Twitter and Twat-toc. The following day the beach was open to all as the possible dangers had been assessed. Wtf are you on about. Prick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheTeapot Posted July 21, 2023 Share Posted July 21, 2023 Remember that well regarded motorbike chap who slammed it into a wall at Hillberry and it turned out it was because he was a nonce? That's why they don't want speculation. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roger Mexico Posted May 25 Share Posted May 25 1 hour ago, La Colombe said: Non speculative verdict of suicide on the Bradda Head plane crash. Not the easiest of reading. It's not is it. Sometimes you think it might be better to report less and link to the official record for those who wanted to know more, as those who knew the guy will surely have wanted to. But so few inquests are now reported officially, that this really isn't a possibility and given that, this has been done as comprehensively and sensitively as you might hope. One thing that isn't mentioned is that the guy appears to have lost his father four days before and this will have affected his mental state. We tend to underestimate the effect of a loss of a parent when it's at an advanced age and 'expected', but it can be devasting for some people and perhaps its effect as a 'trigger' isn't always thought about. 3 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As hobbies go though, it beats sitting at home taking great delight in regurgitating bad news on an anonymous forum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My initial reaction was just to think "Oh dear, hope they're OK" and think no more about it. Now they've got me wondering what they're trying to keep quiet. It's almost like they've never met a Manx person. Or indeed a human being. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now they've got me wondering what they're trying to keep quiet. It's almost like they've never met a Manx person. Or indeed a human being. Correct, the 'no speculation' appeal is crass and raises more questions, leading to, guess what, speculation. The argument put forward is always that in a small community, making details public is tricky. Why? The fatal ( and tragic) stabbings on a beach on the south coast of England last weekend is a case in point. Within 24 hours it was national news, but no warning not to speculate. No doubt there was a small community very directly affected by that incident. Were they warned not to speculate, or were they informed in the same manner as the rest of the whole population of the British Isles was? It just seems a hugely patronising approach. It is also quite acceptable to say 'we don't know yet'. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
littlebushy Posted May 30 Share Posted May 30 How many people who were going to speculate, do you think heed the warning, and stop speculating? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fred the shred Posted May 30 Share Posted May 30 All we need to know or rather would like to know is if everyone involved is OK i.e not seriously hurt. It was great to get good news about the sidecar outfit riders quite quickly it was reassuring. This speculation nonsense is just that unnecessary and condescending. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
