joebean 803 Posted October 13, 2020 Share Posted October 13, 2020 If there is no effective vaccine, the MBE might look a bit foolish in the event of Covid-19 sweeping through a previously isolated population when we are eventually forced out of hiding. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

LOL - If anyone saw 'What we do in the Shadows', he definitely has a vibe of Guillermo. I think he did a fair job and the award is warranted.

Gelling, Brown, Bell have all received OBEs/CBEs for their service? If you ignore the alleged embezellment bit (I can't remember, was that actually proved - I think it was his wife really) RC was a pretty good CM. I think with his Pharmacy background, he probably would have been REALLY good CM in the current situation. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Barlow 668 Posted October 13, 2020 Share Posted October 13, 2020 Mr Corkill had nothing whatsoever to do with it. He wasn't even a witness at the Isle of Man system of justice Court case. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Lxxx 5,826 Posted October 14, 2020 Share Posted October 14, 2020 Personally this whole Covid saga gave us an ideal opportunity to completely revamp the DHSC and clip the wings of the establishment that run it. Tweaking it with Manx Care is a sop. Should have been ripped apart and made fit for purpose but more importantly value for the obscene amounts of money it consumes.

Don't you know they're already doing that with another department. They couldn't possibly do it with two at the same time 🙄 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
doc.fixit 2,738 Posted October 14, 2020 Share Posted October 14, 2020 Well, they are arguing now which dept. is going to run the new border force. Bejaysus, more expense and empire building. I thought we couldn't even afford to run the Barrule properly and full time? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

DrunkenMonkey 41 Posted October 14, 2020 Share Posted October 14, 2020 They could sell the TV production rights to it. "Manx Border Force" has a certain ring to it. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
