The Dog's Dangly Bits Posted June 13 Share Posted June 13 3 minutes ago, Derek Flint said: Is it though? HS 2 was, in my opinion, the wrong way to go. A better spaff would be on developing effective metro systems to link villages that currently rely too much on the car to connect them with the cities and mainline stations. The point i was making was that Trmptons "mates" were seemingly finding amusement in the money spent here on various things. HS2 is just an example of a similar issue in the UK. I'm sure there are plenty more too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Semantics, possibly, but if anyone thinks the shiny new prom is going to result in an increase in revenue to anyone is deluded. The best to be hoped for is that the businesses that have been affected by the works can recover. It is refurbishing an existing road, not a new road connecting two areas that hitherto had poor road connection. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It should improve traffic wait times, thus reducing the amount of time people spend sat in their cars/vans/lorries and busses - more time earning and spending. It should make people want to spend more time in town supporting local businesses. Both indirectly would put more money in government coffers.

chancer Posted June 13 Share Posted June 13 What a lot of negative Nancys on here. Bitter bile filled fucktards. If the Chinese knew they could extract bile so easily they'd let all those bears out of the cages. The Island's response to COVID has been far better than a lot of jurisdictions. All those bitter Manx crabs on here thinking they could do better - there's an election imminent get your name down. 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TBH, I feel less bothered about this than other awards. HQ is at the end of his political career. Others are not, so there is more scope for over inflated egos to continue messing up. I thought so, I thought the previous CM Allan Bell was awarded his CBE after he left office, whilst HRH The Chief Minister was awarded his whilst in office. Why now and not later? Did people nominate him before he made his decision not to seek re-election in the hope the gong would advance that decision? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Opening that drawbridge is the kicker, and, we've gotten that wrong before. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Duck of Atholl Posted June 13 Share Posted June 13 I've said this before and i'll say it again. It never ceases to amaze me how much this 'proud and independent' Island fawns over medals and badges dished out by UK royalty. I bet the list of Manxies refusing a badge makes for short reading. 3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
