It is 2023, not 1823 1 hour ago, Fred the shred said: Absolutely spot on Dave I am certain you are right , that is why they won’t be asked 🤣 . At this stage I have no particular opinion. All I am saying is that it won't succeed. This is the Isle of Man. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asitis Posted November 2, 2023 Share Posted November 2, 2023 Lawrie is possessed with the legislation being written in Manx, this is the most important issue we face as an island nation ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omobono Posted November 2, 2023 Share Posted November 2, 2023 Hooper has been a disaster everywhere else including health and he approved the Cube deal while he oas in DOE , now eager to get attention by trying to get rid of the Bishop its only a few weeks ago Tynwald voted to keep the Bishop and his vote , if the keys have any sense they will not give him permission to introduce a private members bill , there are much more important issues for the Keys to consider 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are so many other far more important priorities and pressing problems which the island faces. 4 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barlow Posted November 2, 2023 Share Posted November 2, 2023 Here's a link to the Isle of Man Today item. https://www.iomtoday.co.im/news/hooper-moves-for-the-bishop-to-no-longer-vote-in-tynwald-647715 It will be worth listening in, if only for the deafening silence from other members. I think Tynwald is all Bishop'd out, and will recognize there are other more important things to attend to. It must be something like Lawrie needing a distraction tactic to throw focus onto him away from the other Ramsey MHK. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The difference being that Dr A is trying to out though a piece of superb legislation that will has a huge impact on many of us. Mr H is just, well. Who knows. A total waste of his and tynwald time faffing about with something that should be so far down the priority time that it shouldn’t even be entering anyone’s mind. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shake me up Judy Posted November 2, 2023 Share Posted November 2, 2023 Another poor move by Hooper. He's going up against the Manx establishment here and he'll lose. He may be right but stunts like this are just another nail in the coffin at the next election. Back to accountancy for you m'lad. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kopek Posted November 2, 2023 Share Posted November 2, 2023 ...'' There are so many other far more important priorities and pressing problems...''. So should we on MF be limited to commenting on just one thread if it's so so difficult to think of more than one thing at a time!!! 😉 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are some odd taxi drivers about though. I wouldn’t want to admit to being one. There was a very negative review of one being inappropriate towards someone’s sister the other day!!!!
