P.K. 5,089 Posted September 15 Share Posted September 15 31 minutes ago, Roger Mexico said: The mindset of the current Manx bureaucracy is that there is nothing that can't be solved by having lots of meetings. Those meetings don't actually have to decide anything or result in any actions, just their mere existence makes everything right and is sufficient. 4 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Well we don't know, but there's nothing to say it would be more than the normal - if they were going to transfer people to hide things, that would have been more effective in previous months. The good news is that the August figures haven't gone up as the various Covid schemes ended. The detailed report isn't out yet (I would have expected it today) and that may give us a better idea of the job market. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

We’ve effectively had four years of wait and see whilst spending on stuff, and now when the wolf is at the door, we are quite content to leave it another 12 months. And if the inertia of the current administration in getting spooked up is repeated, it will be 2 years before we have anything like a plan together. By that time, the world will have moved on and the island will be left bobbing in the wake. I so wish there was a more positive outlook. The place deserves it. 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Fairly certain Alf will stand as he wants top job he just missed last time. Depending on the make up of keys I think he has a good chance, however a good bet maybe Thomas if the old yes men of Cregeen, Boot & Harmer get emptied 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
