    PA Petition

    At least he can spell it right.

    PA Petition

    That’s the thing. I can be for their right to say things while not liking them or what they say.

    They did more than a bit of spray paint over the years. https://www.aljazeera.com/amp/news/2025/7/4/palestine-action-what-has-the-group-done-as-it-faces-a-ban

    PA Petition

    I asked a question but as usual with the pro Palestine lot, everything is a threat and “what about the genocide” (that’s how you spell that by the way). The pro Pali lot have had plenty of opportunities to protest freely and tested the limits of the law on more than one occasion in the UK. What PA did is by definition terrorism and that’s why they got put on the list, like it or not. Also keep in mind that intelligence services have access to other information and not just what you see on TV. There’s a small group of pro pali people over here who hold their vigils all the time and are free to do so as long as they stick to the law. I don’t agree with what they are saying or their cause, but I will always defend their right to do it. Supporting a terrorist organisation that attacks military installations is a whole different matter and I don’t think it would need me to report anyone for that over here should the need arise. IoM constabulary read Facebook and Manxforums.

    PA Petition

    I’m sure a good lawyer would argue it does say that. It’s good to see the UK taking action against these people and the last thing we want is the island to be a safe haven for them.

    PA Petition

    Breaking into a military facility and sabotaging equipment is pretty much the definition of terrorism, so good on the UK to proscribe PA, but help me understand something: This petition calls on PA not to be proscribed here. https://www.three.fm/news/isle-of-man-news/no-iom-ban-on-palestine-action-group-says-petition/ Ignoring any personal opinion on anyone who would create or support such a petition, the IOMG website says: Section 2 of the Anti-Terrorism and Crime Act 2003 requires the Department of Home Affairs to publish a list of those organisations which are proscribed as being terrorist organisations for the purposes of that Act. This list is to be formed of those organisations which are included within Schedule 2 of the Terrorism Act 2000 (an Act of Parliament). The UK is already listing it, so it is automtically proscribed here, right? Is that from the moment the UK list is published or does IOMG have to publish an updated list first? The last one here says it's from October 2024. Apart from it not being able to change anything, might the people behind it (and those signing it) just have committed a rather large legal boo boo?
  7. Miserable lot. DTC could serve free beer all day and you'd complain that it's too warm and the glasses are wrong. Having said that, we need the lights that go across the road back, the ones with the bike shapes etc. Those were pretty.
  8. Of course we could tell them to get lost, but it would have consequences and require a very different aapproach to government to put it mildly.
  9. Just tell people we're not the UK. That should get them coming.
  10. Of course it isn't. It's an exodus.
  11. You still don't need a license for B2B, only B2C, which makes perfect sense. The onus to prove that your software is fair and accurate is on the B2C licensed operator, not on the B2B provider (although B2B providers in general do of course test and certify their products, but as the certificates are sometimes have to be no older than a certain number of months, it makes sense for the B2C provider to get them under its own name once they start using them).
  12. Except they are overdoing it at times in pursuit of their couple of quid bonus. Plus I still find it amusing that a fat passenger with a light bag is ok, but a slim passenger being a couple of kg over on their luggage gets charged. Just rip off, pure and simple.
  13. You'll find it's a lot more until you installed it, and a 350kW one requires substantial infrastructure to work. That's why the sea terminal one never got above 75kW. Also, the airport dosn't need a 350kW one.
  14. Very sad news. Such a nice guy.
  15. The drone dude was ace. All FPV flying with quick battery changes every few runs.
