You have this big round circular UN table with all their representatives sitting behind their name plates. What would look better for the Isle of Man , “ Crazy Dave” or “ The Voice of Reason “ I rest my case. The thing is, my name on here is a piss take. I fear you think yours is accurate 😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think we are as bad as the lot up the hill though. Although most of your ratepayers seem to think you are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fred the shred Posted February 22 Share Posted February 22 You have not got the power that the ones up the hill have if you did I think you would possibly be worse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holte End Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 The sacking of Julie Edge has taken all focus away from the budget, it has make Alf Cannan look weak and that he has something to hide, which he obviously has. The really culprit is laughing, as he is on a winner either way, Rob puts a no confidence vote, he is next in line to be the C.M. He is also mixed in with the Covid and Wright reports, while hiding in the back ground, keeping quiet. But it is truly the worse budget in memory, it has just take all the good out of the island for the working man and stab us in the back. The House of Cards is a dangerous game Mr Allison. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Isle of Man is not somewhere that these people have heard of, so I just selected "United Kingdom" from the drop-downs. The IoM should just be included with the UK statistics as far as emissions are concerned. The IoM does not have a seat at the United Nations, even if some politicians think it should. At the risk of being boring, I am re-posting a link that I have posted (for you) a week ago: https://www.gov.im/news/2023/mar/27/climate-change-paris-agreement-extended-to-isle-of-man/ When it comes to our commitments to the Paris Agreement or COP26 or climate change policies or net zero goals, etc, my impression is that Isle of Man and the CIs Governments had no say on the matter – they were probably told by the UK Government to toe the UK line. The Climate Change Act 2021 was passed by Tynwald, presumably Stu Peters voted against it? The only way forward is for the IOMG to work with the UK Government and to persuade them to make their/ our “legally binding” commitments less onerous. That is all I have to say on this subject. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moghrey Mie Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 Good idea to have 2 hours discussing the Budget on Manx Radio. Pity most people will be at work either from 12 -1pm or 1pm -2pm. Strikes me that Dr Allinson is very fond of 'looking at' things but unwilling to take any bold action. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albert Tatlock Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 If you are not listening now, or haven't heard it already, listen to the 2 hour budget debate that's on MR today lunchtime. It'll be online as a podcast later today. Or if you haven't got 2 hours to spare, here's the summary: 96% of business think the budget is bad 96% of people think the budget is bad 96% of people think the government piss money away 4 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who still don't realise that the other 96% are now increasingly realising that the main purpose of the Budget is to maintain Govt terms and conditions for its masses. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we miss our target, what happens? do we revisit the way our emissions are historically calculated so we do hit the target?

No idea. Although our targets are said to be "legally binding", I don't think that 'climate enforcement police' will arrest the IOMG if we failed to meet our targets. However, there could be some sort of financial penalties coming our way from the UK Government. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
