On The Bus

But he's still a better economist than you!

I hope your Thank you, wrighty. You have summed this up perfectly. You are also the most qualified person I can think of on here to speak on this subject. It's a shame some forum users don't show the respect you deserve.

And what's the contingency plan for running out of money for the health service?

It's the whole "too big to fail" argument that was played out with massive corporations in the 1980's and to a degree the first decade of this century. Only this time it's being played out with the economy of a small semi-autonomous island. The idea that the UK is going to bail us out is flawed. While the Government of Boris Johnson don't hate us in the same rabid manner as Corbyn did, they also owe us no favours at all. It would be far easier to let us fail then install a replacement authority made in an image of their own liking.

You've made a valid point. That's why he had resorted to childish insults

Enjoy the mushrooms! See you tomorrow!

We don't. We maintain the current testing regime and contact tracing. Tests being conducted on island will vastly reduce the time it takes to process them and make fighting Covid-19 more effective than it already is, therefore meaning we can start to re-open the domestic economy.

From this coming Monday.

Teapot and Dilligaf. You do amuse me greatly! You can't accept the gravity of our current situation, the economic reality, or views that differ from your own.

More likely to be magic mushrooms to make someone that delusional.

I think lockdown has finally got to you. Enjoy your ban.

It's interesting that the UK is insisting that Churchyards and cemeteries must remain open, while the IOM is absolutely certain that they are a massive risk to the virus spreading https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-52339266 I wonder what we know that the UK doesn't?

You're a sensitive soul aren't you!
