2112 1,986 Posted June 9 Nice article in today’s paper, also lists the brains behind the outfit. http://www.iomtoday.co.im/article.cfm?id=56096&headline=Black Lives Matter demonstration to take place today§ionIs=NEWS&searchyear=2020 One of the people behind the newly formed organisation POC was this year proposed nominated for Legco but failed to get a vote. Whatever the initial thoughts, I have a feeling this will have ‘legs’. However on the other side of the coin, if you set yourselves up as Judge, Jury and Executioner, don’t be surprised if people investigate your personal history, social media history and employment history. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gladys 5,439 Posted June 9 I agree with the change of name, but up until yesterday the publicity was for BLM IOM. I do hope it goes well, without incident or any chink which will allow criticism for breaching CV regulations. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gettafa 6,408 Posted June 9 I realise that of course. It's still a minefield. No need to list examples, you will know them all. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
