2112 Posted November 23, 2021 Author Share Posted November 23, 2021 I’m surprised with such a glowing all singing and dancing CV, which is miles better than Alf Cannan, why didn’t she contest a seat at the election? It’s worth noting that Alf Cannan went to Sandhurst, so by rights should have leadership qualities, be commanding and be able to reign in the civil service ambitions.

She also seems to have settled here 2011-12 rather than 2015 (I was going on employment history) and slotted into the Establishment remarkably quickly. As I said earlier in the topic, it's not a bad thing to have people with outside experience and fresh eyes, it was just odd so many of them were on the candidates list. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What on earth is a ‘sandwich’ year? Common in practical, technical degree study. It is a year (usually between 2nd and 3rd years of study) with a relevant business to consolidate what you have learned, give it some real-world context and help in decisions about direction after university. Usually considered a "good thing"; at least it was when I did engineering in the 70s........... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sadly Juan in uniform is just an insult to those who have fought for their country and actually served in HM armed forces I don't know how he has the neck to attend service related occasions ,dressed up as a commissioned British officer ,and of significant rank , 3 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some of those candidates had an excellent CV and good life experience. They are above comparison with likes of the proverbial postmen who make up the Keys. I suppose they didn't really stand a chance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hissingsid Posted November 23, 2021 Share Posted November 23, 2021 So wonderful, Phil Craine rejected by the public twice gets into Tynwald vis LegCo. What a disappointment obviously the public’s opinion counts for nothing. Shame on the MHKs who voted for this man. 2 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hissingsid Posted November 23, 2021 Share Posted November 23, 2021 If anyone listened to MR on Sunday Shimmins shot himself inthe foot going on about badly formed policies put forward by the last government when there was about 50% of the last government choosing the next LegCo members. What was he thinking . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wasn’t a fan of Craine but he is an improvement upon Shimmins. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would say that description matches Chris Thomas to a tee. Maybe in February 2023, he could take the Legco bait, and he could still sit on committees and come up with ideas.

Sadly he still wouldn't have achieved much ,Chris has really never produced anything of substance , a great talker but never delivers the goods ,what the old Manxies call a Yam Yat better watch out a few new kids on the block before the next general election and Chris could be history ,we have seen this happen so many times ,I never dreamed Ann Corlett would have seen him off in September , but she did ,! 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
