Fred the shred Posted February 21 Author Share Posted February 21 I am surprised Edge has lasted as long as she has just one calamity after another and she obviously had no idea what was going on in her own department hence the QE 11 debacle, the flumes, and no idea what as and wasn’t on the plans for the new Castle Rushen building. Her lack of knowledge of what was going on was outstanding, not in a good way. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big friends with Alf 😂 He’s right in the inner sanctum (when he’s not raging about sausage baps from Strang Stores and other total bollocks). He never did answer that question. I have zero respect for people who can’t admit they were wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Two-lane Posted February 21 Share Posted February 21 https://www.manxradio.com/news/isle-of-man-news/edge-as-the-difficult-woman-im-not-surprised-at-dismissal-from-cannan-cabinet/ "Ms Edge adds" ‘The fact I was informed of the news this afternoon (Wed) 24 hours after I told the chief minister of my intention to speak publicly about my pre-determined position on whistleblowing, and the government’s management of the Dr Rosalind Ranson case, and the Richard Wright KC report debated in Tynwald this week, speaks volumes to me." So she did not get fired because she was doing a bad job, she got fired because she would not slavishly agree with everything Cannan demanded. 8 MHKs out of a total of 23 MHKs are required to vote as the Chief Minister tells them to or they get fired. That is a big percentage when it comes to democracy. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What Alf says goes ,any who is feeding him , and if you object or don’t agree , close the door on the way out..And the MLC situation is just a joke. Voting once again on block it would seem. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fred the shred Posted February 21 Author Share Posted February 21 She was doing a dreadful job which she has hung onto by the skin of her teeth for far too long. Whether she was fired for this or not is debatable but she has probably lasted this long because Alf could not think of anyone he had spare to replace her. He really has his work cut out with the material he has to work with. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never understood how she could moan about the 22 trees getting cut down at St Marks, while having 17 cut down around her own home. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2112 Posted February 21 Share Posted February 21 Does anyone believe that CM Cannans regime will last until the next General Election or will CM Cannan even last till the end of current parliamentary year? Guernsey and Jersey have or going through leadership change, maybe it’s the IOMs turn? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
