The opportunity for a few sad people to stand out in what will probably be the rain and watch a car go past? 'Hearsay' and may not be true - somehow! 🙄 Apparently there's a chap in a blue T-shirt thats staying in a nearby Jurby hospitality centre, who's seeking temporary release to wave flags on a corner in Ramsey. 😆 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd imagine that would only be if they need to arrest people? Not necessarily if they are just there to look intimidating and search for imaginary bombs.

So, if they see a crime being committed, they have to nip off and get sworn in? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd suspect the only crime they would be interested in, would be an attack on Camilla. That would be fairly easily sorted and there would be at least a couple of local police at the Town Hall to do the paperwork. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kopek Posted March 18 Share Posted March 18 (edited) Got to check under all the grids and put a seal on them! Bombs!!! Not so much the IRA today as all the social media eejits?

2112 Posted March 18 Share Posted March 18 IOMG have put out a press release informing of the days events, from arrival at the airport, being met by the Leftenant Guvenor, CM Cannan, Hyacinth Bucket and assorted dignitaries. Then taken to City Hall to read a citation and unveil a plaque. Once finished it’s off to Government House for a reception of the politicos, charity representatives, and various dogooders. Then it’s off to the airport for departure at 15.00. I wonder if the ATC decide to have a tea break? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
