Besides, If my memory serves me correctly, there were two road fatalities at that time. One was an old bloke at Port Soderick, I can’t recall the other just now.

The first one wasn't a road accident, as such, if I remember correctly.

He drove off the cliff. It is said he may have had a heart attack, or stroke, I think.

The 40mph limit worked in Covid so maybe that is fast enough? 30 might be a bit extreme?

Is there not a Blackpool forum you could join? 

First routinely arming the police and now a  blanket 40mph speed limit. I'm not sure you really get the sort of place the island is.

I'm really not sure changing the island beyond all recognition just because you came to live here (and have subsequently left) is a particularly good idea.

Goodnight 

I would put money on more people not being bothered than people having an issue.

The people who can’t be bothered probably have better things to do than sit here arguing with conspiracy theorists with no life. Like spend time with their loved ones.

 

So, out and about in the real world today rather than the small sample that is Manxforums……..

Nobody cares.  People seem to think it’s a good and long overdue idea to be able to identify known criminals at the ports.

Routinely arming them, has anybody on here suggested that?

There is a big difference between routinely armed and a specialist team

The "specialist team" are coppers, and it's been suggested they be routinely armed, as opposed to armed only when there was a storm in a teacup to justify it.

Serious collisions plummeted.

See annual report for details.

It’s doubtful you actually participate in the real world.

Yeah, nothing to do with the lockdown, definitely the 40mph speed limit.

Hooked, cleaned and fried! 

It was an utter fiasco,  of course. And par for the course with the embedded contradiction of a national road safety strategy based around Safe System which leaves in derestriction, and a return to normal post covid.

You really are a whopper aren't you?

It always amazes me how we never seem to run out of half wits to import.

There has to be border control god knows who is rocking up on the Island.   There is probably a lot going the government is aware of that we never hear about.
