A lot of generals tended to do that in the first world war.

Know what you mean...I gave mine up years ago as it played havoc with me piles.

Early days yet.

Isn't he in Battlestar Galactica?

Killing trees? ...not for me...I can't stand the sight of sap.

Boot is apparently negotiating Fri...I can hear his excuses for taking his eye of the ball to the electorate already...

Health and care workers 100%? Find that hard to believe...there are at least a couple who are anti-vaxxers. What does the small print say?

That's quite a selfish attitude when we have a large number of people who for a variety of reasons cannot take the vaccine or have not had it yet. Of course we have to move forward...but why didn't we wait till at least the schools broke up? Or even consider breaking the schools up earlier?

The reality is though, with 2000 signed to visit in the first groups allowed back and UK infection rates running around 500 per 100K and increasing - then we are pretty much guaranteed that at least 10 of that group alone will be bringing it here with them - likely more as there will be couples and families travelling together infecting each other on the way. Add that to that the mix of schools still open and no social distancing at all here etc. and lots of people here still yet to be second jabbed, then I suspect we will be up to 300 cases relatively fast. I still think they went a month too early - I'd have waited till the schools broke up and far more of the over 50s (and over 40s) had been second jabbed - particularly not having any distancing rules in this interim period. The schools are where it will spread fastest.

Pupil at St Ninians has it now...here we go. https://www.manxradio.com/news/isle-of-man-news/st-ninians-pupil-tests-positive-for-covid-19/

Not permitted sorry.... ...overqualified.

Sleep walking into yet another disasterous 6 weeks. They've done all this a month too early...all too many over 50s not even 2nd jabbed yet.

In reality you're talking about 60 to 80 candidates for each general election. Where the heck does anyone start with that many manifestos?

They clearly launched tonight.
