WTF Posted September 24, 2021 Share Posted September 24, 2021 will the headline be geofry BOOTED out ? i wonder if he'll go back to where he came from ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beelzebub3 Posted September 24, 2021 Share Posted September 24, 2021 I am quite happy with the results, I will reserve judgement on KLB until we have seen how things go in the house, Tim is a nice enough chap, unfortunately I think he will fall in with the Tynwald club and sit on the fence, he really needs a challenge, I would suggest a spell as DOI minister that would help concentrate his efforts and keep him busy. If he doesnt accept the post give it to DA, he would know all the solution's in no time at all, look how well he picked up the knowledge on Covid by reading a few books etc. LOL 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm hoping that's why he left early last night. Gone home to finish packing to catch the boat in the morning. His house has been on the market.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm hoping he's older and wiser as well. Fingers crossed. I think he and KLB will work well together. I have high hopes for KLB; time will tell. I couldn't be happier that Boot and Harmer are gone. We can only go upward from the bottom of the barrel. I'm also really happy Ashford ruled himself out for CM. Maybe Tim could be considered for the role? I was pleasantly surprised and impressed by him at the two meetings I attended. He was about the only one who didn't have to constantly look at his notes, and he spoke with passion from his heart. He's also got more experience in government than most (not all) of the current crop. 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SleepyJoe Posted September 24, 2021 Share Posted September 24, 2021 I did read his manifesto & clearly knows the right questions to ask Policy tho' I didn't see much of DEFA 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zarley Posted September 24, 2021 Share Posted September 24, 2021 I agree he'd also be good in DEFA. He lives on the prom and I'm sure he's as fed up with seeing the sewage slick in the bay twice a day as anyone and will make sure it's sorted ASAP.

I don't see him as a particularly maverick character I thought Crookall didn’t seek re-election Legco to stand for MHK. https://www.manxradio.com/news/isle-of-man-news/tim-crookall-withdraws-from-legco-election/ Of course he may have seen the way the wind was blowing in Legco and thought Boot vulnerable.

I think Cussons would have gotten in over Cowin had Crookall not run. My second vote was a toss-up between LC and Tim. I voted Tim because I figure we need someone with experience in the next five years. I know several 20 and 30-somethings who voted Cussons. Cowin was (let's face it) too old and out of touch. His public speaking skills are abysmal. Anytime he stood up in the keys to make a point, he'd put people to sleep, if they could even understand his mumbling rambles to begin with. He "talks" a good game on paper, as his letters to the editor testify, but crucially, you have to be able to communicate your thoughts verbally as well in politics. I had high hopes when he announced his candidacy, but in person the reality was a huge let-down. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
