Funny that Psychotic agenda? To protect as many people as possible until vaccinations were rolled out and then get as back to normal as possible without having our life’s dictated by measures to protect a tiny percentage of people who might still be at risk and who if really concerned can take measures to protect themselves? Is that psychotic? I think it’s a pretty widely held view to be honest. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ramseyboi Posted October 24 Share Posted October 24 Bloody hell. This Walter actually got elected and from some of his fb posts it would seem he is pro more mitigation and restrictions. I fear a very difficult Christmas for hospitality. Are most places cracking on with Christmas party etc? https://www.manxradio.com/news/isle-of-man-news/island-could-need-plan-b-sooner-rather-than-later/?fbclid=IwAR2ZlhGBjKE6Y90XWRrCmPAbZrG6WNAYxq9rkFhIcYqV2Fns29d-8V2JCBE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be nice if our elected officials possessed more than a brain cell to use some independant critical thought themselves. However judging by the latest intake that's asking a bit too much. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danoo Posted October 24 Share Posted October 24 The positive thing is that Cannan is in the pocket of the Chamber of Commerce and also isn't very bright. So if they push him to keep the economy open and the wheels of commerce turning it should hopefully stop the doom mongers in their tracks in their wish to lock down and hide behind the curtains again. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you. On a side note, why don't these so-styled influencers run a spell/grammar checker? Even as they write. Poor spelling, typos and grammar detract from an otherwise informative piece. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even the media political pundits and who would have had their eye on politics this past 5 years were forecasting that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The BBC and others has for the last 6 months or so tended to move away from the global situation and comparison charts. I'm not sure why that should be, but we need to know figures in context with the rest of the world and alongside the measures other countries are taking.

the stinking enigma Posted October 24 Share Posted October 24 People are taking this too seriously at the mo. What is the opposite of doom mongers? There must be a word, people seem to be self identifying against their polar opposite - the doommonger. So what are they identifying themselves as? More a curiosity question really. I dont identify as either. I will say though, that if we do somehow end up back in a lockdown by christmas, it wont be the fault of the doomers, more the fault of the polar opposite of doomers, which i dont have an identifying word for yet. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we end up back in lockdown it will absolutely be the fault of the doomers for pressuring their government into taking a needless and retrograde step. And the term you are looking for is realist.
