Manx Bean Posted March 24 Share Posted March 24 (edited) So, we have a world fuel crisis, mass murder and millions of refugees needing help from the Ukraine, our local health service struggling to deliver services, and then I stumbled across this absolute Wankpuffin on youtube..I mean, seriously, what a disgraceful circus. Why is the speaker not pulling people like him to one side and telling him to stop making a tit of himself and making a laughing stock of the Isle of Man? FFS.. Please Stu Peters - can't you take him outside and give him a slap? Edited March 24 by Manx Bean update 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Manx17 Posted March 24 Share Posted March 24 (edited) It’s because schools are known to waste money. Instead of turning the heating down or off if to warm, they leave the heating on and open windows. Edited March 24 by Manx17 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

doc.fixit Posted March 24 Share Posted March 24 Stop all the antique language, streamline the system, lower the number of MHKs, make all island voting and get on with running and maintaining what we have got. Just get on with a modern, supportive legislature, stop the waffling and get the job done! So there. 13 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like the entire Horse Tram debacle was a joint enterprise between DBC and "Gull" 🤣 I bet they worked together on the new (despite the fact that "spend a penny" is a well known slang term for wetting the lettuce) pay to pee policy too. Department buys horse tram stables Monday, 23 April 2018 The horse tram stables at Tramway Terrace have been bought by the Department of Infrastructure from Douglas Borough Council (DBC) for £600,000. This supports the Department’s plans for the regeneration of Douglas Promenade and the future operation of the horse trams. A key factor in buying the buildings is to allow the Summerland site to remain clear and a more attractive proposition for investors. A planning application to construct temporary horse tram facilities on the site was approved last year. However, after reviewing a number of options the Department considered that buying the existing building will prove more cost effective, as well as helping to retain part of the Island’s heritage infrastructure. Member for Public Transport Jason Moorhouse MHK said: ‘The stables will continue to be used for its intended purpose, while investment will also be made to secure the fabric of the property and improve welfare facilities. ‘With the promenade redevelopment project set to begin later this year and the recent application to rebuild Strathallan depot, this is an exciting time for the horse trams, and the wider heritage transport network more generally, with commitments being made to ensure they continue to attract tourists for many years to come.’ Council Leader David Christian said: ‘The Council is pleased that these negotiations have been successfully completed. Thanks to this welcome investment in the capital the site can now be re-purposed and will complement the refurbishment of the promenade and regeneration of Douglas town centre.’ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

manxman34 Posted March 24 Share Posted March 24 The Mental Health Act 1930 did away with the terms 'lunatic' and 'asylum' in relation to people suffering mental ill-health, and continuing their use reinforces the stigma which still clings to patients in this unfortunate position. Perhaps the OP could acknowledge that the use of such terms by way of abuse is inappropriate and inaccurate, and find a better way of expressing dislike of a politician. 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
